"Shut the fuck up. You are in no position to negotiate. You better tell us where the damn CD is for us to spare you". Romeo yelled impatiently. He knew that if Ashking says he knew something about James, he did because his line of business brought him in contact with all kinds of people. Who needs more bodyguards than a drug Lord? Still, he will not allow Ashking to have his way after daring to lay his filthy fingers on Maria. By this time, Mia had made her way to Maria and held her hand comfortingly. " That's Ashking, he trains bodyguards but he is bad news," She whispered to Maria, he nods with satisfaction.

"Chill man, I know that I am not in the position to negotiate but if you don't make that promise to me, then I will be better off dead," He said in a pleading tone. The bodyguards were surprised to see their trainer kneeling in front of Romeo and begging like a common criminal. It was a very shameful scene.

Romeo thought through what he said and felt it wasn't bad

    "Romeo! Maria screamed and attempted to get to him when James hauled her by the hair and threatened her with the pistol in his left hand, rasping, "This is all your fault. If you had stayed with me, your husband, no innocent person will be dying now", he gave an evil grin."Go to hell James," Maria said with gritted teeth while she tried to free herself from him."You don't talk to me like that", James let out, tightening his grip on her hair harder, making her squirm in pain."Ouchh, it hurts""Yes, I want it to hurt and why don't I fuck you right in front of him ha," James rasped with an evil smile, licking her left ear. Still, he used his left hand to point the gun whiles his right hand had a firm grip on her hair. He thought Romeo was unconscious and wanted to have his way with Maria."Don't try it, James, all this is over" Romeo said, getting up with his right hand covering his shoulder where the bullet pierced.

There was also too much evidence against him. Together with his accomplices, they begged to continue working with Romeo and were ready to accept and go through with whatever punishment Acid was going to give them.

    Maria was lost with words in Romeo's proposal. It appears her words got clasped in her throat. She understood she felt an allure towards him but she couldn't tell whether it was love, gratitude, or the fact that he was invariably around her, most of the time they met. Never had she imagined that she will be in a dilemma where she will have to respond to such a question, primarily not this time.She always assured herself that she didn't desire a man and she was apt of living on her own. Romeo has also been good to her. Good to the extreme and he has been transparent enough to tell her about his past relationships, among which she has seen Monalisa herself, but why couldn't she make up her mind?Staring into his eyes for the first time this night, her mind was made up. She let out the words in her heart in the most gentle way she could think of. She was scared of committing to him but she was even more terrified to let him go."Romeo, I sincerely thank you for

    Mia stood up and yanked Maria, first to her closet, where she made her choose one of her dresses to wear. Then left her to shower. Maria came out rocking Mia's dress. She was very comfortable in the simple knee-length black dress."You look great. It looks like this dress is made for you." Mia remarked with a wide smile, displaying her even white teeth. Maria felt flattered by Mia's words and gave a weak smile.They headed straight to Mia's car and Maria realized Mia hadn't picked anything in terms of accessories."Ain't you going to pick anything? Handbag, purse? Maria asked with worry."Nope. I have them in the car already." Mia responded, opening the boot of her car to show shoes, purse, handbag, makeup, and even snacks. She usually leaves some of her things in her car so she always doesn't have to look for them when she is in a hurry. Her car is like an emergency dressing room for her."We can start by getting your things from the hotel, back to the

    Maria woke up with butterflies fluttering in her stomach. If she didn't have Mia by her side, reminding her every time, she would have said everything was a dream.

She is getting married to the only man she has ever loved.Romeo came a few times to speak to her the night before the wedding but she only spoke to him behind the door.

But Romeo never runs out of ways of making it more difficult for her.This morning was no exception. They heard a knock on the door and Mia went to get it, only to find a giant bouquet of fresh roses for Maria. The note read.

    Olivia woke up with confusion written all over her face. She felt the bed beneath her too hard for her comfort. She wanted to get up but felt something cold on her wrists and ankle, pulling her down. She slowly opens her eyes to see Maria sitting comfortably beside her.Gradually, everything from a couple of hours began playing in her mind. She remembers darkness covering her eyes when she saw James but why is she chained? The realization hit her that James must have pressed charges against her. She was filled with guilt and regret but above all, she felt guilty."You can ask me any question on your mind," Maria said gently, bringing her out of her thoughts. "You know, I should have been a bitch to mock you the way you did to me after setting me up, but here I am feeling all pity for you?" Maria said slowly. Her eyes not leaving Olivia's.Olivia breaks down crying but Maria wasn't moved by her tears. She was indifferent to Olivia's tears, knowing it was fake. Even

    "My, my, my. Who is shedding tears now? Hmm. Loverboy Romeo couldn't save you this time? Ohh, you trust him too much," she mocked pouting. "He can't and won't give up on you right?" She paused, What happened now? Unfortunately, I heard your phone conversation. Why? Are you surprised that I tapped your line?...hahahahaha? Olivia went on and on with her mockery, not giving Maria a chance to speak, or maybe, she lacked the right words to respond to her."Just stay away from me," Maria mumbled."Yes, I will stay away from you. But not before I let you know, that I don't envy you anymore. I thought you had it all. Everyman at your beck and call." She snapped her fingers in unison. "But look at how my single little plan will send you to jail for a long time, if not for the rest of your pathetic life? Turn around, look yourself in the mirror. You look pathetic." Olivia laughed."Excuse me," Maria said walking out but was pulled back by Olivia. "I am not done with you." She said sternly. "You

    So it's true. He was alive and it's his voice he heard on the phone. He should be over the moon with joy but the fact that Maria was in FBI custody because of him made him angry. He wasted no time with pleasantries."Can you tell me what happened?" He growled when James was a few meters away."I had nothing to do with it," James says, innocently, raising his hand in surrender. "I was merely a victim too," he confirmed."Tell me about everything the happened and don't leave out even the slightest detail," Romeo warned."I will tell you, but you should sit," He said. Romeo sat directly opposite to James, whiles his dad sat adjacent to James. He knew his son was still angry with him so he didn't want to anger him any further by sitting close to him. James began to speak without any hesitation.""The day we had the agreement, I paid off my immediate workers and left the business in the hands of my managers, confirming my decision to leave this country. I could still control everything from

    James has been poisoned and Maria's fingerprints on the drinking glass? Romeo's imagination had gone wild. How did Olivia manage to get Maria's fingerprints on that drinking glass? He felt the need to speak with Maria right away but He had to take her to the station himself. He won't allow these agents to take her. He can't trust them and besides, he wants to be with her through everything."Okay. I promise to bring her to the headquarters myself," Romeo assured the FBI Agents. Under the strict regulations under which they were operating, they never would have allowed it but for Romeo's sake, they left. Romeo went back to the office and saw Maria. She was as confused as he was, but a half-smile finds it's way to her face when she sees him."How did it go, Romeo? Do I have to go with them?" She asked with fear and responsibility. She didn't want to go to jail but she also knew the right thing had to be done. She noticed when Romeo's face becomes saddened at her question.

    Maria's words kept echoing in Romeo's mind. This is the only thing he has ever wanted from her. Her love, and trust. Now that he has it, it seems like a dream. Relief washed over him like rain. He was too numb to utter a word."And just so you know, I love you so much," Maria said, kissing him softly on the forehead. When Romeo spoke, it was like ice mixed with fire. He got so emotional but Maria knew why, and she didn't mind. She knew it was time to let him know how she felt about him, especially when they were going to get married."You have no idea, what it means, hearing these words from you after you just proved your love and trust for me. I promise you, that nothing and no one, will ever come between us, and anytime, any day, I will always choose you above everyone in my life," He said embracing her. The hug lasted for almost ten minutes, each in their world, where nothing else matters until Maria tried to pull from the hug."You are running late

    Laying on Romeo's bed in a pant and bra, smiling mischievously, is Olivia. Initially, Romeo thought he was dreaming. It can't be real. No one dares to come to his room except Pluto and of course, Maria. Grandma doesn't even attempt to come. It's not as if she's not allowed but it doesn't interest her to.The sight of the person grinning in front of him made his blood boil with anger. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist, and she was wearing a black thong and a black balconette bra. Her brown wavy hair was let loose, glistening her brown eyes. Anyone who comes in at this moment will read negative meaning into this.Romeo was angry in that, a thin vein appeared on his forehead. He speaks with gritted teeth."Get out!""Not after I have a piece of you," Olivia says seductively, rolling to her stomach and lifting her head to look Romeo straight in the eye. The first intention Romeo had was to drag her out but how will he explain if Maria or grandma sees h
