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
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.
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
"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
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
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 remembers vividly the first time she met Romeo in the club and how jerky he was. They have so much bonded in love and now, their bond is going to be official. Yes. 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. It took everything in her to suppress her desire of staring into those blue eyes and kissing him tenderly on the lips but she was true to her word. She never gave in. 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. 'You don't know how much you've punished me by not seeing me but I will only continue to l
their YEARS LATERRomeo went on a short trip to his yacht with Maria. They admired the sea and watched as some dolphins danced on the surface. Within this period, most of their time was spent with their kids. They wanted to lavish them with all the love and attention they lacked.With all the sleepless nights waking up to the cry of babies and running their businesses, it wasn't easy but Grandma and Lizzy were of great help to them.They decided to take this opportunity, to have some alone time together, now that the kids were five years old. They wanted to be together more often and alone, to make their bond stronger."Darling, did I ever apologize for pouring the drinks in your hair?" Maria asked, remembering their first-time encounter."No, but am glad you did. That unpleasant situation brought me back to my senses," he smiled."But I am still sorry, by the way," Maria said genuinely. Being with Romeo these years, she feels bad when she r

It's free (Free-To-Read)"Merry Christmas, Maria," Romeo exclaims, his voice waking the sleepy Maria."Merry Christmas, Romeo, and thanks for stealing my sleep," she cackles. She sits up and sees Romeo holding a small cheesecake with a big candle in the middle."That's weird, cakes that size, do not come with candles this big," she observed. Romeo beamed. "Of course, this candle is special and if I say special, I mean, it grants Christmas wishes," He giggled. Maria narrows her brows."What kind of wish are you talking about Romeo?" She asks quizzically, focusing her gaze on the cake."Any kind, so just make a wish," He snickered."Okay." Maria opens her mouth to make her wish and is unexpectedly stopped by Romeo."Wait!" He walks closel
Romeo did not only did he take over his father's clubs and pubs but also his domineering, arrogant, and rude attitude. He doesn't even attempt to ask a girl for the night. They beg him to be his toy for the night. Well, he pays them sooo damn well so aside from his irresistible looks, he is also generous.He takes his shower and dresses up in his usual style of rag jeans with a body con shirt and jacket, never leaving his sunglasses behind. He has a collection of them because it's part of his daily outfit."Acid," he calls to his most trusted Assistant and leader of his bodyguards."Yes, boss." He responds."What do we have to do today"?"Meeting with the Rogers at 10 am and a search for a new location afterward." He said.His meeting with Rogers was great. They were able to supply all the expensive wines he ordered and even had new ones that captured his attention. After his long day search for a new location for his new club, he finally decides

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
