We stop at a big apartment complex building. "Well we're here." he sates. The building looks smaller than most of the ones I see in New York so I assume they live in the penthouse as well. "Do you own this building?" I ask "Yeah. I do." he chuckles " You catch on fast." We take the elevator up to the penthouse. The first thing I notice is to the left I see a girl with long wavy black hair and slightly tanned skin sitting eating what looks like a fruit salad then another older lady dressed in a uniform which tells me she is the housekeeper, approaches us. "Mr Bradley.You're back earlier than usual."she says "Yes this is Cher. We have a situation that needs to be taken care of." he says " Where is my sister?" "I'm here." I hear a womans voice and when I look I see the most gorgeous woman coming down the stairs. She's tall with long scarlet red hair and fair skin. In some way she looks just like him.She walks up right in front of me. "You're pretty." she remarks "This is the first

We’ve been in Russia for over a week now.

I pick it up from the bedside table and it’s a message from Enrique.'I think I have a lead on Roberto. I'll let you know as soon as I get there.'I check his location a few minutes later and it says he's at the Crown Plaza not too far from here.I sit and wait by phone checking every notification to see if it could possibly Enrique giving me news on the Roberto situation but hours go by without me hearing

I wake up the next morning with Enrique next to me. I reach over to touch his face when the door opens revealing my father . I instantly hide my face under the covers. “Good you’re both here.” He saysI shake Enrique to wake him. When he finally wakes his immediate reaction is also covering his his face.“ We need to take care of this situation.” My dad says “ Get dressed.” Then he leaves closing the door behind him.I turn to Enrique in shock “Why doesn’t he care?”“ We’re adults now.” He says“ This is still his house.”Enrique shrugs. We take a shower together and after that I do my skincare. While I’m using gua sha stone I catch him staring at me.I put it down and I give him a look.” What?” I ask him.“Nothing.” He says “ It’s just that you’re still so obsessed with skincare.”I sigh” It works for me.”“ I know it does.” He says pulling me in and kissing the top of my head.After that we get dressed and we head out to go see my father.We find my father in his study waiting for

My father turns to me and his face softens. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone ever hurt you.” I don’t respond and he leaves. My imagination starts to run wild just thinking what Uncle Roberto would do if he saw me again. He might as well have been working through Leandro again. I hear someone approaching my bedroom door. I immediately freaze up and I can’t seem to move. The person knocks twice before turning the handle and opening the door. It’s Enrique. I let out a huge breath and I had no idea that I had been holding my breath the entire time.“Are you okay?” He asks sitting down on the bed next to me. “No!” I exclaim whilst the tears start running down my cheeks. “ I’m scared. I’m scared of what I’ve done.” He pulls me in and holds me tight in his arms while I’m bawling my eyes out. After I while I just stop. It’s always been like this whenever he holds me I cry my heart out then I suddenly just forget why I was crying in the first place or the thing I was crying about just seem

I wake up the next morning and I turn to face him but he's gone. I sigh and put on a silk pink robe. I look in the mirror and my hair is messy so I brush it out. It's something I've always done. The only off-putting things about me in the morning has been my messy hair. I go downstairs and find him in the kitchen making breakfast. One thing he's always loved is making food for us. I do think it all comes down to how you were raised. I on the other hand try to stay as far away from a stove as possible, except for when I have no choice but to make something for myself. Around him I've always felt a little inferior because he's not as spoilt as I am. I used to blame everything on my parents until I met Enrique. And our relationship was like a Taylor Swift song. Now it's so complicated I can't begin to define it. He turns around and I realise I've been staring this entire time."Morning." he says as he walks closer to me and kisses my forehead. "Morning."I say touching my forehead whe

“Who’s there?” I yell out as I grab the nearest thing I can which is a log for the fireplace. “It’s me Princess. It’s Enrique.” Hearing his voice felt like a relief. I had surely thought that it could be Leandro. I slowly open the door and let him in.He immediately grabs me into his arms.“ Are you okay?”“ I’m fine. I just needed some time to think after finding out my entire life has been a lie.”“I’m sorry.” He says wrapping his arms around me again.
