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 stepped into her office with Katherine her friend hot on her trail. It felt like dark clouds hovered over her head, threatening to spill if she so much as blinked. Her office was dark-themed and most time she felt it reflected how her life was, but she was happy and that was what counted right?. She hoped that was enough.She slumped into her seat, behind her desk and kat took hers looking pissed. She acted like she had committed a grave scandal for supposedly ruining the blind date she had set up, never minding the subtle warning given before the said date that it might not end well. "Why did you bother to go on a date with him anyway? If you knew you were going to embarrass him like that, you should have just told me no. You keep making me look bad in the face of all my male friends" she says simmering like she had been humiliated for the rest of her life." First off kat" April got out on a suffering breath, holding her friend's gaze, and praying for the grace to stay cool.

    April's POVWork is never-ending, and if you so much as take a break, you'll meet more problems waiting for you to solve. This should be added into the wise saying book, if such a thing exists, cause, why not.I stared at all the paperwork in front of me, wishing that they'll all just vanish away when Zerah, my assistant stepped into my office. I am certain that there is an aura of excitement bubbling all around him. "You look stressed April, but I believe I have just the news to make your mode lighten up". He announces, smiling. I peer up at him, still worried out of my mind but a bit optimistic. Finally, something should turn outright today. Everything has been so hard lately and I just couldn't catch a break.He drops two invitations on my desk and I look at them. I am indeed surprised. I want to jump out of my seat and make fist bumps into the air, but I don't, at least not when Zerah is still standing in my office."You found Adam kings?" I ask unbelievably "that man is like a

    The suite was expensive-looking. April sat on the soft four-poster bed, as she tried her best to focus on work before she prepared for the evening party.She was going to dazzle everyone, and command attention like she always had done. A confident woman was sure to get the deal.April woke up with a start as she heard the knock on her door. She guessed she must have been really tired to just fall asleep while working. At least she had managed to forget the handsome hunk from earlier. Well, maybe she didn't since she was mentioning him again.She walked up to the door as her head cleared. She needed her coffee. She unlocked the door and it was Zerah. He was all dressed up and he looked handsome. She had never seen him in a suit."Wow," she gaped " you're taking the stealing the show tactics a tad too far, don't you think" she joked and he laughed." Well since am your escort, I wouldn't want to look like a farmer next to a queen" he mumbled lowly like he was shy to look her in the face

    ENRIQUE POVI walked up to the rooftop and it was worth it. The view was breathtaking-you could practically see the whole city in an array of colors. There was a huge swimming pool at the edge of the rooftop. Everything about the hotel screamed luxury.I had to get a breath of fresh air and come back to my equilibrium. It was like the lady April was everywhere. She made her presence known with just a simple word, touch, or gesture, heck, Adam king seemed to be in her trance all night long and so was I. I was so hard in my pants, I felt uncomfortable. What was it about this woman anyway?.I hear footsteps climb up the stair that leads to the rooftop. I hide in the shadows because I needed this little time for myself to think. The contract wasn't going to be mine and there was only one person to blame for that.It was her again. She walks towards the edge of the roof smiling happily, looking breathtaking with all the lights reflecting around her. She did a little twirl and I didn't know

    April finished dressing up and further building up her walls. The madness about Enrique Alvaro had to stop. He was just a man like every other man, she reasoned with herself for the hundredth time.She took a deep breath and parked her hair back holding it up with a hairband. She stood and admired herself in front of the standing mirror."You're successful, beautiful and you're the boss. They thought you couldn't do it and you proved them all wrong" she said as she stared at herself far longer than necessary and suddenly felt sad that her father wasn't around anymore. She loved him so much and he just left her. So did her mother. All because of love. Why? wasn't she worth loving?.She shook her head to clear off the offending thought. She couldn't start her day on such a bad note. She stepped out of her suite and came face to face with Brian who was holding roses. She hated roses."Wow, you look even more beautiful this morning" he complimented her and she gave a polite smile. There

    APRIL POVI woke up feeling better than I had ever felt before. I wonder if it was because of that kiss. I could not get it out of my mind and my lips kept tingling in remembrance."I don't care what all this is. This is all about sexual attraction and I am pretty sure I can resist a foul-mouthed man like Enrique" I pepped talk myself for the millionth time since yesterday.I was fucking not like this. I never think about a guy way too long like this.No wonder women were crazy about him. That man kissed like there was no tomorrow. He wasn't my first kiss tho.I sometimes kiss random guys just to prove a point that I wasn't scared to be intimate like most of them thought. I could do whatever I goddamn, please.I have never really gotten intimate sexually tho because I think I am so messed up. Sex could lead to love. It is a risk I am not willing to take. There was also the incident that happened in my past which I don't like to think or talk about.I had always wanted my mom's attenti

    APRIL POVI wake up aching everywhere. I feel a slow burn scaling up my arm. I'm sure it's probably bruised from hitting it on the stair as I fell. It was a miracle I hadn't broken my neck during my tumble.I look around noticing that I'm not in my room. I hope I am not in Brian's room because he might have played hero and saved me. The door unlocks. I close my eyes pretending to still be asleep. Someone walks toward me placing something cold on my cheek. I manage not to flinch.He seems so familiar. His scent wafts into my nose and I know who it belongs to.Enrique Alvaro.He touches my face gently. I feel his fingers trace across my lips. My heart starts to go wild in my chest. I needed to get out because I was feeling all turned on, as his hands continued their exploration. His little touches had a way of making my body combust in flames, making me forget all I hated about love and what it could do to me.Yes, he had me thinking about love which was why I felt hostility toward him

    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.
