Lorenzo povWhen I casually agreed to meet Richard Chase for lunch, I did not expect to run into Megan and Red going to dine at the same place. I mean, what are the odds of meeting with someone in a downtown hotel? When Red expressed her suspicions of me stalking them, I didn't feel offended. On the contrary, I just explained myself. While I didn't feel offended, I definitely didn't want Megan misunderstanding me. When she looked at me, lost in her thoughts, I had to fight with everything inside me not to pull her in my arms and ask her what was going on in her mind. Six years of being a part and my heart didn't forget loving her. If anything, it just grew fonder. At that moment, I wanted to ditch Richard and shamelessly tag behind them but decided against it. I don't know how Megan feels about my presence and the last thing I want is to make her feel uncomfortable just because I am around. Then there is Red's warning if staying away from her. Although I don't plan to listen to t
MeganI lean on the door after shutting it on Lorenzo’s face, allowing my tears to slowly drip on the floor. I never thought that saying those words to him would have hurt this much. Seeing pain flash in his eyes as he stared at me almost made me take back everything I said. It broke me breaking him. So much that I feel like a sinner. “ Mommy?” My daughter’s concerned voice pulls me from my emotional breakdown. I lift my face to meet Elena's innocent eyes staring at me nervously. “ Baby? Why are you awake?” I ask, wiping my tears and plastering a fake smile on my face. Taking two steps, I stop before her and lift her in my arms, hugging her automatically. “ I wanted to drink some water.” Elena answers, pulling away and looking at me with her big doe- like eyes. “ Why are you crying?” She inquires. I swallow nervously, not knowing what to say to my daughter. I can't possibly tell her that I just drove her father away and that's why I am breaking down like a fool. Elena knows not
Megan POV I practically stare at Gino without saying a word. Too much that he frowns at me.“ What's with that look? You don't believe me?" He asks and I just smile.“ You know of all people,you are the last person I expected to feed me lies." I express my disappointment. What hurts me even more is him lying to me because of Lorenzo. The same man who fed me lies in the span of time we were married only to abandon me when I needed him the most.“ You don't believe me. That's fine. I know you don't have a reason to believe anything I say but Megan, when have I ever not been truthful to you? In the years we have known each other, can you name an instant I covered shit for anyone with lies?" Indeed,I can't exactly pinpoint any circumstance Gino ever lied to me.But I feel like this is different…“ You know Megan,your problem isn't about believing my words. You just don't want to consider the possibility that Lorenzo could be Innocent and lose the only reason you hate and despise him so
Megan povI park my car outside and make my way inside where the old lady Martha is waiting for me. Yesterday, she called to inform me about the company arranging a meeting with her to discuss the purchase of the land leased for my company.Since she doesn't have a child or a surviving relative, she asked me to accompany her. It's a good thing she chose me as her companion because I so want to know which this company is that's so persistent on acquiring the land. I spot Martha when I enter the restaurant and walk to her, offering her a smile. “ I'm glad you are here Megan. I don't want to deal with those people anymore.” Martha says as I settle next to her. “ I hope after this meeting they can finally leave you alone.” I reply but the old lady scoffs. “ I doubt they will give up that easily. You know how the rich behave in this society. They don't care about what the poor want. It's crazy how the government that should protect the citizens from them will support those looters.” Ma
Lorenzo pov“ They agreed with the proposal?” I ask Mr Davis as he steps inside my office. The smile on his face tells me that he has some good news for me. “ Not really. But the chances of getting positive feedback are very high.” He replies and I frown. What I need is a definite answer. I don't want to rely on chances and possibilities when it comes to this project. I can't allow anything to go wrong. “ Since they liked the new price offered, why didn't they agree to sell the land?” I inquire. “ The owner of the land was accompanied by another lady. If I am not wrong, the other lady advised her to take some time before signing off on the ownership deal.” Davis answers and my frown only deepens. “ A lady? I thought the owner had no family left?”That's what I read from the report Davis presented to me when I requested the owner's profile. This is one of the reasons I ended up considering her land for purchase. “ Indeed. The old lady doesn't have any relatives. The owner of the
Megan povToday is the day I will be attending the family dinner. Elena wanted to tag along so I agreed. I don't want to deny her the chance to bond with the family considering that I have already taken the chance to have a father away from me. I still don't believe Lorenzo kept true to his words and left me alone. After that day at the coffee house, he disappeared completely from my life. I don't know how to feel about this anymore. I mean, I am obviously the person who asked him to stay away from me. But why does it feel so uncomfortable that he did? Should he have insisted or persisted in his pursuit for me? He confessed to still loving me. He told me that day that in this life, he will never love any other woman apart from me. I didn't believe it but somehow, that declaration made me inwardly happy. I didn't show it though and just called him a liar. Sometimes, I can't help but feel like Gino was right the other day. I have put everything in me into hating Lorenzo that I don'
Megan pov“Don't compare me with that man.” I snap in annoyance. How can my father compare me to Marco? What he did to our mother was…“ I am not comparing you to him.. I just want you to see some sense. Marco kept you away from your mother for decades. You are keeping Elena away from her father. No matter what differences the two of you have, don't deny the poor girl the opportunity to bond with her father.” My father insists. “ Look at her,” He says, prompting me to turn and look at her. My eyes well with tears when I see her perched on Marco's lap with a huge smile on her face. “ She is happy spending time with Marco. You might have grudges against the man. You might not like him but that smile on your daughter’s face is priceless. It's something money can't buy, Megan.I am not trying to pressurize you to anything. I am just urging you to consider Introducing your daughter to her father. Whatever crimes Lorenzo committed against you, you don't have to make Elena pay them.She mi
A moan slips past my lips as Lorenzo's fingers trace my nakedness. A featherlight touch. A caress. An invitation to sin. I shiver in the darkness of the bedroom. I can feel him all around me, the heat from his body warming my skin. I don't know where his fingers will land next, and the suspense is as torturous as it is arousing. "Mia moglie," he breathes against my neck, his lips brushing over my skin. " You don't know how much I missed your fair skin, your curves. It's been far too long." His hand moves down my spine to rest at the curve of my lower back, where his palm sears into me. My flesh tingles with desire. "Lorenzo, please," I whisper, unsure of what I'm begging for. I only know I want his touch. His other hand moves up to cup my breast, his thumb grazing over the sensitive nipple. A whimper escapes me. I reach back to grab his thigh, needing to touch him too. "You like when I touch you, don't you, Megan?" "Yes," I breathe, arching my back so my ass presses into hi

MeganThe last thing I expected when I agreed to bring my daughter here for lunch was running into Lorenzo. I can't be mistaken, that's his voice. I would recognize it even in my dreams. How can I forget the voice of the person who made me taste hell after being my happiness? The person who promised me heaven on earth but put me through pain? What I didn't anticipate was Lorenzo catching us talking about him. I turn around slowly and come face to face with his handsome face. One thing I noticed at the party yesterday and becoming solid is that the six years we have been apart, he only grew more handsome. I don't know if it's me but ageing looks good on him. He has this attractive charm that leaves you wanting to take a second look and probably get lost in it. Forcing myself to tear my eyes off his face, I acknowledge him with raised brows. Lorenzo has a smile on his face and I fight the urge to roll my eyes at him. Why smile as if he is pleased to see me? “ Megan, I didn't expect
