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
A/N:Dear Reader,This chapter is not in any way related to the plot of this story. It's a little gift to add to your Christmas happiness. Please don't pay for this chapter. 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
So Romeo searches and searches for this blonde girl everywhere he knows but he can't find her. They have searched the pubs, restaurants, clubs, hotels, and even airports. He feels that if he has known her name, the search would have been easier. He curses himself over and over again for not being able to achieve this target. He has never failed at anything but this time, he feels like a failure.A month has gone by very fast and yet no sign of her. Gradually he seems to be losing all hope in finding her. He thinks to himself that perhaps she was a ghost or maybe, it was just a bad dream. He thinks of putting his life back into the way it was and pick up from where he stopped with his 'fans'.The thing is, after the unfortunate incident between Romeo and this blonde, Romeo has never been in his right mind. His contacts have combed the entire city in search of the girl fitting his description. They had nowhere to search anymore. Convincing themselves that she might have le
Now knowing her name, the search is easier. They know who they are looking for. Their contacts have been checking hotels, restaurants, clubs, and even airports. But Maria is too fast. Whenever they get a hint of her whereabouts, she leaves before they get there. It is almost as if someone is tipping her off. Romeo gets more and more frustrated as the days go by. He can't believe how one girl can turn his life upside down. He doesn't even know who he is anymore. The only thing he talks or thinks about is Maria.His 'fans' think that he is pretending so they don't tease him with that incident but anytime they get close, he shoves them away. Finally, he receives a tip-off from one of his contacts as to the hotel Maria is lodging. This time, he didn't want any mistakes. He decides to go without any bodyguard to not create suspicion. He is given the room number but before he gets there, she is gone."Tell me, where is she?" He yells at the hotel manager. They fear him because he patronize
Tracing the direction of the voice, James together with his bodyguards turns around to see who dares to interfere in their affairs. They are surprised to see Romeo looking at them like a lion ready to devour its prey. James quickly drops his hold on Maria and she steps back nervously.Romeo is very popular, being the sole owner of the best pubs and clubs in New York. It is obvious with the look on the faces of James bodyguards, that even they, either know or have heard of him. Most days when they were off duty, they spent the night in Romeo's club.They also had a lot of respect and admiration for Romeo because he was very generous and fearless. They stepped back knowing that not only was Romeo wealthy and generous, but also very tough. With the nature of his job, he had trained himself with Martial Arts and kickboxing so he could well defend himself and others.Romeo is dressed in his usual Denin Jeans with a T-shirt an
Romeo can not believe what he sees on his phone as a text message. He merely left her a while ago and James had the guts to let his bodyguards attack her in no time. But what about his contacts who he had paid to protect her? He was very angry. He knew that James will do something but he didn't know it will be this soon. He calls his lead contact who answers on the first ring."You were supposed to protect her. He said as soon as the voice answered on the other line. Why the hell did you allow her to get hurt? He asked furiously."We tried our best Boss, but she was too stubborn. She even thought us to be her assailants and started throwing things at us until they hurt her before we could rescue her," he said"Who are they?" Romeo asked"James bodyguards boss, we caught two of them but four escaped. We have them tied up in a secret place". He says assuredly."We took Maria to St. Luke's hospit
Romeo wants nothing better than keeping Maria safe. She was adamant but could he blame her? She can't just trust another stranger with her life after what her husband did to her and besides, they met on a wrong note. But he was happy to gain her confidence. He was wondering what terms she will give. It couldn't be bad right?"So, what are those terms?" He asks with raised brows."First, I get to choose my own room, Second, I pay my own bills, and third, I get to follow you everywhere you go. She says looking away".Romeo was taken aback by those conditions. With the way, his 'fans' kept running to him at every given time? She must be kidding, he thought."Why will you have to follow me around?" He asks.Well, since you vowed to keep me safe, I figured the only way I'd be completely safe was being with you since no one will dare try to harm me when you are around right?She has a good point, but following him everywhere is not the best idea, he thi
