ENRIQUE strode out of the company, narrowing his eyes as he noticed a woman approaching him. She looked familiar to him. He tried to remember where he had seen her before as she finally stood in front of him looking anxious, but also awestruck."Oh my gosh you look so much hotter than the last time" Katherine gushed her eyes flickering."Do I know you" he questioned, his forehead furrowing together in confusion as he tried to place her."Yes. We met at that party held by Adams King. I had never attended such a gorgeous event and well April just had to ruin it by making me come home with her" she prattled until Enrique coughed raising a brow." Uh... Uh.. right. Am Katherine. April Sanders best friend. I saw you shoving your tongue down her throat so we couldn't be properly introduced" she says in all seriousness, fawning herself with her hand like she was on fire. Enrique looked shocked at her choice of wording. It must have shown on his face because Katherine retracted her words look
"Shit," Amor cussed almost tripping on her feet as she approached her car. She felt like someone was following her, hence her imbalance. She had an eerie feeling that something was wrong.She glanced back, noticing a guy strolling towards her. He didn't look scary or bad at all and she took a deep breath that she hadn't realized she'd been holding.She took out her car keys from her purse, proceeding to unlock her car door when it was jerked away from her hold. She flinched looking up at the guy. He had a taunting look on his face as he hovered over her. She frowned in confusion. "What do you think you're doing?" She demanded."My job" he smirked, twirling her car keys. "You look more pretty in person". He tilted his head to the side, looking her over.Amor was confused beyond words as she stared at him." Are you the new driver dad said he was sending?" she asked, trying to make sense of the situation. "No I am not," he said suddenly getting serious, then with fast strides, he was
Amor struggled to open her eyes. She succeeded after the third attempt. Everything was blurry and the voices she heard seemed to come from a distance.She shut her eyes and reopened them, taking a deep breath as everything started to clear. The deafening sound and thumping in her head started to fade. The voices were more familiar too. It was her father and her brother shouting for the doctor.The doctor showed up after a while, cross-examining her. He did his very best to convince her Dad that she was out of the woods and that she would feel better in a few days.Amor felt like hell. She grimaced in pain when she tried to move and wondered if the damn guy had broken her ribs.She craved a mirror. She pleaded to God she didn't look like a zombie.Her dad was talking to her but she found out that she had spaced out for a while." Baby. Talk to me. Who did this to you? Who hurt you this way" he asked looking older than he was, his hand shaking as he reached to touch her cheek. His eyes
Enrique drew his fist back, causing Brian to flinch, his eyes squinting close as he expected the hit.He opened his eyes to see Enrique examining his watch. He looked up from it, dropping his hand by his side. Enrique accessed him with a smirk."I don't consider you a competition, Brian," he said giving him a dismissive wave. He walked past him into Amor's room with a firm and precise movement that made him look dangerous.Brian adjusted his jacket looking around, noticing no one was around to witness what happened. A deep frown etched into his face.Enrique always managed to make him feel worthless which made him mad. He glared at the closed door, turned, and walked toward the reception area.******************April stared at the venue they would be using for the fashion show. Everything was coming along just perfect. It had already been a week and Brian, Amor, or Enrique didn't bother her. She had put all her energy into work and that outlet didn't let her have enough time to thi
APRIL POVI stared at the venue where I had been just the day before clutching at my broken phone tightly. There was a huge lump in my throat and my eyes burned. Unbearable ringing constantly plagued my ears.Zerah was saying something that I couldn't hear.I walked carefully around the huge stage, calculating the extent of the damages.It was all in ruins.My phone rings. I look down at it. It was Brian.I don't know why but I picked his call."Hello?""My dear April. Do you like the present I got you? I gotta say, It gave my boys a hard time but in the end, they got it done.Did a really good job for the heck of it I must say." He crooned. I look around at all the ruins, forcing myself to stay calm."You did this?" I asked and felt like the air was suddenly not enough for me to breathe in. My eyes burned with tears that I promise myself not to shed."Yes, I did but I can always make it all go away. You know what you have to do, April. Your show is this Saturday and with the way thi
***********Enrique stood by the side of his car as he watched April and Katherine talk. She had looked so sad when she came out of her car. Her eyes were red like she had been crying, her cheeks pale. He wanted to go to her, tell her that everything would be alright and that he would take care of it but he couldn't. She would never accept his help if she knew it was from him. It was better this way.She was laughing with Katherine, and she looked breathtaking. She was so strong that he couldn't help but admire her. He wanted her more than ever.She turned around, finally noticing him, and in that brief moment when her eyes connected with his. He saw the longing in her eyes. She was vulnerable for just a moment before she masked her feelings and walked towards him.She stood before him and all he could think about was pulling her closer, kissing her senselessly until she acknowledged her feelings for him.She wet her lips, making the temptation almost too hard to resist. He stuffed h
Scarlet came out of the elevator and walked towards Jasmin who looked thoughtful with a deep frown on her face.She approached her desk, brandishing a beautifully wrapped parcel. She tapped at her desk making Jasmin jerk in surprise. Jasmin eyed scanned over her, not recognizing."Hi. Am scarlet, is Enrique in?" She pointed towards his office and the look Jasmin gave her could take one to hell."He's not around. I don't presume you have an appointment". She asked surly" I don't. I wanted to give him this" she said holding up the parcel.Jasmin eyed the parcel before collecting it. She knew the woman could be one of Enrique's many one-night stands. They always came back like this, craving his attention and maybe another night.She never let it happen tho. Couldn't they just leave him alone?"I'll let him have this. Mr. Enrique won't see you without an appointment and like I said he's not in"Scarlet gave a sweet smile, leaning against her desk." Ok then. Give him that ok. I'll call t
Enrique fumed as he spoke with the cops. He had a major migraine with the way they choose to handle the case. So much fucking leniency.The cop was saying something but he was too angry to hear. He only caught a few sentences."He's just a mugger who was trying to rob her. She probably fought back and that's why he attacked her"Enrique almost cursed but then he swallowed down his frustration and tried with all his might to explain calmly. His hand shook with the effort so he grabbed at the counter. He should have left the case to his lawyer's discretion, but he took the attack on April personally."He is not a mugger and I'm a hundred percent sure he's working for someone. April was almost killed in Paris and now this recent and new attack, it's all connected. You have to do all you can to make sure he confesses." He explained and the pacifying look the cops gave him was enough for his rage to come rushing back."We already interrogated him Mr enrique but he insists he's not working
The days that followed were a flurry of different activities. They gave a press conference and went to court as the case progressed. Jasmin looked like a deranged person and kept casting evil glances at her throughout the trial. She didn't look like she was sorry at all for the crime she had committed. Well, she was going to end up in jail or an asylum so April didn't bother much.Kyle looked terrible, physically. He was wearing casts on his hands and legs. April remembered how hard he had hit her and decided that he deserved every hit Enrique dealt him. She wanted to add a few of her own if a chance presented itself. Brian couldn't look at her in court and Mr. Adams apologized profusely on his behalf. She couldn't blame their father tho. Sometimes no matter how much parents tried to raise their children right, they most certainly always chose the wrong path.He would be getting a light sentence compared to Jasmin and Kyle tho.April loved the judge on the case and the prosecutor. Th
April stood in his garden taking deep breaths and clenching a file tightly in her hand. There was a tight feeling in her chest but no matter what, she was going to get what she wanted. He soon appeared managing to take her breath away the moment his eyes connected with hers. Her heart gave a wild thump in her chest and then fear crept in sending chills down her back. What If he left her? Would she be able to love anyone else again? There was a guarded look in his eyes but there was also that dark look of desire that made her blood tingle in her veins and desire to pool low and deadly. She wanted to do wicked things to him, with him."April..." He called and his voice was enough to make the ache and the pleasure grow deeper. Was this what they meant by saying love was both pain and pleasure. She wondered which came first.She stopped him holding up her hand."Before you speak another word I will speak first Enrique Alvaro," she said with finality and he nodded slowly watching her so i
April got discharged and as soon as she stepped out of the hospital it was to see the little crowd gathered for her but as Enrique came into her line of vision, she found it hard to look past him, or even acknowledge that questions were being thrown at her from some of the people that stood by.Enrique Alvaro....the man she knew could bring her to her knee from the first day they met. He did get women going crazy over him.April swore to make sure she was the only woman to make him crazy. The other woman she'd found out about would not be the love of his life for long.Enrique held her eyes and she could see the emotion swirling in them, instead of flowers, he was holding a box of her favorite chocolate. She smiled as she walked toward him. Uncertainty flicked in his stormy eyes as she stopped right in front of him.She went on her toes as her arms automatically wrapped around his neck and then connected her lips with his.His hands tightened on her waist immediately and he deepened t
Jasmin stared down at April, taking in her bruised face as she ran her hand through April's hair."You fought hard, but it's time to finally rest April" she murmured and saw April's eyelashes flutter like she was about to wake up. Jasmin immediately pulled the pillow from underneath her head. Jasmine stared at her victim, the pillow she held hovering over April's face. Jasmin's heart pounded as sweat dripped down her temple, could she push through with it, if she woke up, Enrique would be lost to her forever. With resolution, Jasmin covered April's face with the pillow using all her might. April's hands went up feebly as she struggled to breathe. The heart machine beeped irrationally and Jasmin held on until she noticed that April's nails were not digging into her anymore."What are you doing" Katherine's voice boomed behind her startling her to her bone marrow. Jasmin whirled around with the pillow clutched tightly in her hands, eyes frantic as she forced her mouth to work.Katherine
Kyle got out of the car as soon he reached his destination. He felt like he had slipped off somewhere and everything was going to go to ruin. He quickly walked toward where April was and yanked the door open. A swift kick connected with his groin and he doubled over in pain. Surprise and shock marring his face.April flung the blanket from around her, she forced herself out of the car and shoved at Kyle. Then she was running, screaming, and shouting for help at the top of her lungs. Her head throbbed and she felt like collapsing but she couldn't give up. Hands suddenly came over her mouth muffling her screaming. She elbowed him in the rib and heard him gasp and mutter curse words but he didn't let go. He just shoved her forcefully, and she hit the floor hard, grazing her knees, and her Palms. Her elbows took most of the bruising because she used them to stop her fatal fall. He gave her a hard kick to the ribs and she felt something crack within her as she curled up in pain. Then he wa
"April?" Enrique asked faintly, his heart flipping. Jayden looked as worried."No, it was not Miss April. They exhumed a dead body who had the same features as her". He explained.Enrique took a deep breath as he ran his hand through his hair muttering words to himself. His heart felt like It was chasing itself and sweat dripped down his face.Jayden placed his hand on his shoulder."Don't worry. April would be found. She's a tough woman who can handle herself".He chuckled, "she definitely can do that." But that didn't make the uneasiness in his chest go away. He could not bear to lose April, the woman he loved with all his soul.******Enrique mansionJasmin watched Katherine closely. She couldn't decide what to do to her. The paparazzi had been all over the case, asking questions and trying, almost too forcefully to get answers. Since the suspects included Brian King, the case got bigger.The door opened, and Jasmin turned to see the intruders. She stared blatantly as an elegant
*****Kyle smiled as he flipped through the documents, her signature on each page. It was almost too easy, but he knew that when one felt threatened, they relinquished everything if they thought it would guarantee their safety."This wasn't so hard was it now," he asked and she looked up at him, her eyes tired."I did what you wanted so let me go like you promised." She said, her voice hoarse. Giving her company away must have hurt more than she would admit, Kyle thought, watching her with a smile. He loved the look on her, it made her subdue. He wanted to break her further."Wow, if only everyone kept their promises wouldn't this world be a better place. You should have read the document before signing, because pretty face you signed all your wealth, including yourself to me. I own you now". He announced with glee, then watched mesmerized, as color exploded on April's face as her rage took overApril struggled with the ropes, the anger that ceased her whole being threatening to choke
April watched him, her chest racing as a smile grazed his lip. He looked like a maniac, his hair was sticking up everywhere. His eyes connected with her and they scared her because of how soulless they appeared. It looked dead. He had lost his mind for sure."He was always telling me what and what not to do"He stated, trying to explain to her why he shot Brian. April was short for words, everything seemed like a bad dream and she wondered when she would wake up."I-I-I... C-Can you untie me" she managed to get out of her parched throat. He stared at April like she had lost her mind, then he was suddenly laughing making her stomach churn. Everything was starting to hurt. He stopped, regarding her long enough to make April uneasy."Oh we'll come to that pretty face. I thought your first word would have been something like, why did you shoot your best friend but I guess you don't care if he's dead right"."You already shot him so why will I bother about your motives" she forced out brave
April stepped into the abandoned-looking house as cautiously as she could. She checked the room looking for kat, surprised that the place looked deserted. The hairs on the back of her neck stood in dread as she heard a soft murmur. She took a deep breath, heading towards the door where the sound had come from. She pushed it open slowly and stepped in, her gaze darting around the space."Well hi, beauty" the voice boomed behind her startling her. She whirled around to face him, realizing at the last moment that Brian had set a trap for her. A hard object collided with her head. The world tilted on its axis, her gaze darkening as her head throbbed in pain. She fell to the floor as the black dots swam around her eyes. She felt his hand on her hair, petting her like she was a dog."Finally mine" he murmured darkly.*******Earlier in the morning.Enrique felt the warmth surrounding him fade away. He opened his eyes, reaching out to where she had occupied just the night before. He sat up s
