I stretch my arms over my head, wiggling my toes as a yawn escapes my lips. My body is sore ànd everything ache in the most delicious way. Then it clicks in my head, a realisation that has me sitting up in bed with a jerk. This isn't mine ànd Javier's room and definitely the man with me last night wasn't my husband. Well, ex-husband because he served me divorce papers on our third wedding anniversary. My eyes scan the room ànd nothing seems familiar about it, not until a hauntingly familiar voice jerks in my brain. " I thought you'd want to sleep in some more considering what happened last night." My heart race and my breathing quicken. I will myself not to look at the direction of the voice . But, against my better judgement, I do and holy crap! I am immediately mesmerised by the sight before me. Lorenzo stands at the entrance of the bathroom clad in nothing but a towel loosely tied around his waist. My eyes land on his lips and goddess! I can't forget how those sinful lip
I step out of my car and out on my mask. I have a cap covering my hair and dark shades on before I make my way to the hospital entrance.It's been three days since the news of my divorce and my father's losing his company made the headlines.The media has been camping outside the hospital and I don't need anyone to brief me on who they plan to attack with questions.It's been three exhausting days of trying to run around asking my father's friends for help to pay his surgery fee.Guess what, they decided to kick us when we were already drowning. I am not stupid enough not to realise that Javier has a hand in this. Especially not after he took over the company, fired the loyal workers and terminated a few contracts with my father's supporters.The company has been in uproar while I have to sit and watch as he messes up my father's lifetime hard work.Sneaking into the hospital, I push the door to my father's room. My eyes widen and horror grips me when I spot a familiar silhouette hove
Lorenzo povI watch as her eyes widen in shock before something clouds those beautiful brown orbs. Is that shame I saw? Definitely. " You should leave too. " She says standing on her feet. Her innocent eyes look anywhere but my face. I can see she is broken, shattered even. But who wouldn't after what that scum of an ex- husband subject her to. I am usually not a compassionate person. I don't like my women weak and fragile but something about this woman stirs something deep within me. She has always had that ability since the first time I laid my eyes on her six years ago. Something about her pulls me to her, like how a moth is attracted to light. I want to pull her in my arms and comfort her. Casting one last glance at her, I walk out and head towards the reception. I make to pass when I hear the nurses gossip about Megan. " I heard she slept with an escort. That's why her husband dumped her. "" With a good man like Mr Massimo, why would she need to bed a gigolo? It's disgu
Megan POVHe smirks, his eyes settled on my face." Yes, Megan. What do yóu think about becoming my wife?"His voice is calm. Too calm I'd say for my racing heart." But I was..."" You were considering Javier's proposal? To be a mistress?" Something dangerous flashes in his eyes before it disappears and is replaced by a not so pleasant smile." That's not it." Composing myself, I defend." Oh!" Now he looks amused. " Then what is it, Megan?"He asks.Damn! My name sounds so pleasant rolling off his tongue." You don't mind I was married to your nephew?"I mean, this man is Lorenzo Massimo. He is the dream guy of every woman out there. He is rich , tall, powerful and handsome and I am just a divorced woman with a soiled reputation and a financial wreck.He shrugs, a ghost of a smile appearing at the corners of his lips. " If I did, you would not have been here, and we wouldn't be having this conversation."" Besides, we already slept together. What's there to care about anymore."I bl
I look at the woman reflected in the mirror ànd I can't help but smile to myself.Today is Lorenzo's grandfather's birthday party and I will be accompanying him to meet his family.It's crazy how despite being married to Javier, he never took me to hís parents. Anytime there was an occasion or an event, he would give excuses. Sometimes, my sister would go as hís plus one.I must really have been blind to ignore the red flags. He would always say that his family is complicated and that keeping me away from them was protecting me.I believed him ànd never questioned shit. Now, I realize those two started sleeping together behind my back for a long time. A pair of a cheating bastard and a conniving bitch. They deserve each other.Lorenzo didn't hesitate to take me to meet his family despite our marriage being fake. The way he looks at me makes me want to just pull down my pants and let him explore my candy shop.He has however kept his distance since I signed the papers. Ofcourse, I have
Javier looks at me, then to Lorenzo in utter shock. Do I have to say I enjoy the look on his face? If we weren't standing at the entrance of Lorenzo’s family house, I would have burst out laughing. “ What nonsense, uncle? Meghan is my wife.” Javier whispers, his jaws clenched. “I don't think so, homeboy. Last time I checked, you two are divorced.” Lorenzo States as a matter of fact, a grin on his face. He seems to be enjoying making Javier uncomfortable more than I expected. “ Since Megan is a free woman, I made her mine. So, back off little boy.” Lorenzo says, holding Javier's shirt and straightening it. “ Shall we, My lady?” He asks with a bewitching smile. He offers me his hand which I take. I don't spare Javier another glance as we step inside the huge magnificent living room. My eyes scan the room and I am not surprised to see my sister sitting shamelessly next to a middle-aged woman. “ Megan, what are you doing here?” Unlike Javier, Sophia is more composed as she asks.
Megan povSophia's overly sweet voice rings and I lift my face to see her standing behind Javier who is looking at me. “ I think I just asked a damn question Megan?” She shrieks, her eyes glaring at me. I fight the urge to roll my eyes at her absurdity. “ What are we doing here? Why don't you ask your lover?” I ask her meaningfully. Sophia turns to look at Javier who looks guilty as fuck. He dares not meet her gaze, making me scoff. I still can't believe I had lived with that kind of a man for years. He cheated on me with Sophia while we were married and now that we ain't married anymore, he wants me and Sophia too? He wants to eat his cake and have it too? The nerves. “ Javier, what's this bitch talking about?” Sophia asks, her gaze hardening. I smile, pleased with myself. It's stupid how Sophia thinks that Javier would be faithful to her when he wasn't to me. “ Oh well. I would love to watch a lover's quarrel but I don't have the time right now.” I say with a smile before
LorenzoI don't know what came over me when I saw Javier hold my doll. Not with the nasty offer he made her at the hospital. That sick fuck! After sticking his dick inside Sophia's pussy and choosing her over Megan,he dares come around proposing such idiotic deals? I usually don't bother with his actions but when it comes to my doll, that's where we draw the line. I warned him earlier to stay away from my woman but that fucktard seems to have a knack of annoying me. But, he will pay for his disobedience. Family of not, no one fucks around what belongs to me. Grandfather has strict rules that no member of the family shall hurt the other but damn the rules. If I don't remind Javier that Megan is mine, then I am not Lorenzo Massimo. They don't call me the devil for no reason in the streets. I have a reputation to uphold and that involves marking my territory. Megan is mine. She is my property and that sick fuck will learn that. Not just learn, he will respect that or I won't hesitate
