DEVIANCE (B*siness Affair) Twenty two
*******Jasmin stood in her room pacing around. She had been worrying all day and up till this moment, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Why would Enrique look so gloomy? She couldn't help fretting and wondering where that April was. There was a sick feeling in her chest that she was with Enrique. At his mansion. No. That can never happen. He should be here with me, not her. Why can't that bitch just die.Her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. It was Enrique. Why is he calling me, and did he have my personal phone number on his phone all this time,even if he did, this was out of character. He never called after closing hour. She took a deep breath, answering the call. "Jasmin" His voice jarred her to reality, her heart dropping into the pit of her stomach, making her almost nauseated."Sir Enrique, am surprised to receive your call" she muttered, out of breath."Am sorry for the trouble Jasmin. I won't be at work tomorrow so I want you to reschedule my activities for tomor

Amor muttered curses as she parked her stuff into her bag. She looked up, hearing the approaching footsteps of scarlet. She came in, looking at the disarray the room was in. "Where the hell are you going?"Amor rolled her eyes and gave an exhausted breath."I guess you're not busy with your whoring around anymore and finally have time for me" she muttered bitterly, which only earned her a chuckle from Scarlet.She flopped onto the bed, resting on her elbow. "Well you're in a terrible mode"Amor threw the dress she held in frustration. "You think?!. You were supposed to be helping me with the whole stalker issue, but no, you just had to go sleep with my brother, leaving me to explain everything to father..""....stop being dramatic Amor. You win some, you lose some. Move on"" I can't believe you" she muttered shaking her head.Scarlet pursed her lips."You didn't answer my question from earlier"."Dad's sending me on a damned vacation. Satisfied" she glared zipping up her bag.Scarle

She could hear the frantic run of Enrique.The lady was muttering in a scared voice, apologizing on repeat that she didn't know she was there, that it was an accident.Enrique pulled her towards the sink, shouting at the girl to get some wipes and call for the doctor. He washed her face with water, wiping the water off her reddening face. The doctor arrived in just some minutes, then it was a long twenty minutes of the doctor and Enrique fussing over her.It would have been amusing if it was not for the fact that her face felt like it was on fire.The girl was Jasmin, Enrique's assistant. She stood beside them looking like she'd committed murder. The worry on her face was pronounced, almost aging her a decade.The doctor finally left after taking care of her, assuring Enrique that she was out of harm's way and that there will be no permanent scarring. He gave Enrique a salve to apply on her face to help soothe her itch. Enrique turned his attention towards Jasmin, once the doctor took

APRIL'S POVHe gave me an ultimatum which I was going to take. I wanted him too much and it was getting hard to focus on anything else. What was the point of going to work if I couldn't even concentrate?It didn't help that he walked around shirtless with those dark gazes he kept pinned on me, making me aware of every little move he makes, every twinkle in his eyes, every ripple of those lean muscles. I wanted his hand on me. I wanted those hard warm muscles pressed up against me. I yearned for him and I would have him. I'm pretty sure it's going to be amazing.I don't recall when I started freaking out on having sex with Enrique, but I'm almost sure it was when kat called. She cheered me on initially, but then everything took a nosedive when she said I was inexperienced and Enrique has had lots of women, so I'd never be able to satisfy him.I don't understand why she would say that to me when I finally dared to sleep with him. Of all the days she was supposed to be a badass vixen, sh

____Flashback___"I said I was sorry. I thought this was going to help you. I forgot about your issues with drinks. I was just trying to make this night perfect for you". She yelled in her defense"Yeah of course it is!. You always think you know what's best for me. You can leave now Kat because the fact is that you don't" I mutter, my words a slur. she sighed huffing. "I was just trying to help you out. How about I stay, so you don't do anything..." I stopped her with a hard glare, pointing at the door. The alcohol was making me act rashly, but I couldn't stop myself. I'm aware of when she gives up trying to apologize. She took the box of cake and walked out of my room, resentment marring her pretty features. I feel like shit.After a while of me just sitting there, the lingerie caught my stare. I took it out, examining it in the light. The texture felt captivating as I glide my fingers over every curve of it. How would he react if he saw me in this? Would he go crazy, lose all cont

ENRIQUE's POVI stare at her, trying not to show hurt, but failing miserably. I felt a tight pain in my chest, it was like something kept twisting at my heart, making it hard to take a decent breath of air. I clenched my hands. It wasn't fair. We shared a beautiful moment that I held dear, cherishing the memories, relieving every second of it until it felt like an obsession and she was blaming the whole thing on alcohol.I didn't even notice that she was drunk last night. She never drank. Was she doing all this because she didn't want me? Did I do something wrong? I wanted to know why she had to do this. "You were drunk?" She avoids my gaze. "Yes, Katherine put alcohol in the cake she brought and I am bad with drinks" she explained in a muffled voice. The hands clutching at my shirt that she wore strained tighter. She was probably still in the lingerie. She noticed my gaze, almost as if she was attuned to me. It eased the hurt a bit. A dark blush spread across her cheeks making my f

APRIL's POV.I stared at my mother. She looked sophisticated like she always did, even when she was in casual wear. I glanced at Zerah, tilting my head towards the door. He got the message as he quietly stood up and walked out of my office. The door clicked softly after he left.I smiled, walked around my desk, and sat down. I crossed my legs as I leaned back into the chair."It's odd Mrs. Smith, that you'll come here like this without a proper appointment. I should presume you realize there are protocols to this kind of thing, yeah" I said my smile in place, making sure that she doesn't miss the sarcasm in my words. My animosity does not surprise her. She sat down, setting her expensive-looking purse beside her. Her expression gave nothing away.I knew she didn't come here to apologize. She must have found some defense against all my accusations. It was her coping mechanism to assume that she was never in the wrong. She had to win every argument."I wanted to see how you were coping

Enrique’s POVI was on the phone with April, I could tell she was a little bit anxious when I called but I wanted to check in on her. I can’t help this feeling but I always want to protect her. Things for her have not been good. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I don't know what haunts her that she doesn’t want to give a chance at love. I know I fucked up sometimes but if things go well for others why can’t we just have the same chance at happiness. I tried showing her the bright side of life but she was either oblivious of my feelings or just fighting herself over what she felt for me. I refuse to think the latter but I know it’s true. I called the office but Zerah said she wasn’t there, that she needed time to think. I knew she might have just retired for the day. Things have not been good so far for her and I understood well. I guess it was good a time as any to give her a call. I was on my way home after all.“Hello, Enrique? ”“I called the office and Zerah said you weren’t ther

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.

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
