The shocked look on her face almost makes me feel guilty but I brush that off. I am a greedy bastard and I am not to stop until I get what I want. “ Lorenzo…” She calls, giving a look that's definitely gonna be followed by a thousand reasons why we can't do this. I close the distance between us and press my body against hers, my erect dick poking her stomach. I lower my head and take her lips into mine, kissing them. My hand goes to her top, freeing her boobs and I start findling at them. She is turned on, I can tell it. She wants me. And I want her. “ Don't say a word, babydoll. Just say yes.” I whisper into her ears, biting her earlobes. Megan sighs, burrying her head on my neck. “ I don't know, Lorenzo. My father is here.” She reminds me. She is conflicted between giving into her desires and being the perfect daughter she has always been. Knowing her father’s hatred of my family, I am sure he has warned Megan to stay away from him. Too bad, his daughter is now married to me
Javier POV I slip my glove and tuck my gun in the waistbands of my trouser before I start making my way to the door.“ Where are you going? I thought we would be spending the day together.. Sophia's whiny voice grites at my ears and annoyance creeps in.This woman can be annoying. She is nothing compared to Megan. Megan never used to ask me such stupid questions ànd maybe that's why we stayed married for three years despite my mother’s insistent nagging to divorce her." Can you stop nagging for once? What do yóu want us to spend the day doing? Fucking?” I snap at her.“ I have a business to run and my personal affairs to take care of." I add.Just because we hooked up together doesn't mean she gets to make demands out of me. She ain't my wife.“ Personal affairs huh? Is Megan one of those affairs?" I roll my eyes hearing her accusations. The crazy bitch is obsessed with Megan more than I am.I turn around and give her a glare.“ Do yóu have a problem if she is?" I don't need to rep
I try to conjure a retort but the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching stops me. I send my mother a glare and turn my attention to the approaching man. “ I thought you said the less we meet, the better.” I say, walking to the man and offering a handshake. “ I had something to discuss which couldn't be discussed through the phone. Who knows whether any of our phones are tapped.” The man answers before acknowledging my mother. “ It's good to see you, Mr Gambino.” My mother greets with so much familiarity that I frown. “ Do you know each other?” I ask the two who seem more like old friends and not people meeting for the first time. “ She is the princess of the Gravano family. Her reputation is widely known.” Hunter replies. The guy is the same age as my uncle Lorenzo and definitely wasn't in power when my mother retired from her family business. “ Actually, she came up with the whole plan. The Gravano family did us a favour years ago so that's why we are here, helpi
LorenzoI don't often look for closing time,but something about tonight makes me feel giddy about everything.Megan is back home or so that's what she told me and I can't wait to go home to her.It sounds crazy, it really is, but can you blame me? Hugo says I have changed. I don't know if it is a good change in his eyes but it's for me I think it's perfect. Imagine going home to your wife. Oh well,she's my contractual wife but I don't give a f*** about that.She's mine.The door to my office clicks open and Hugo walks in as if he owns the building.“Hey man,”he greets but I only spare him a glance.“It's late Hugo, are you going home?” I ask but the guy just shrugs.“It's not like everybody has a wife,Lorenzo. We weren't blessed like you.”he replies and I can feel him almost rolling his eyes at me. “I don't think anybody stopped you from getting a wife. you've been brooding like a woman in her periods go and get laid, man. Maybe a pussy can make you less grumpy.” I retort.Although
Megan povLorenzo left in a hurry last night and never came back.He talked about something going wrong at the docks and that he needed to take care of.As much as it sucks to have him leave me all rilled up and horny, I understand that the company and his business are more important.I mean I don't want to be a bitch and I understand that thousands of people depend on him for their daily bread. That's something my father taught me;that when you own a company it's not always about you, but also about the employees and the people who depend on the company to make a living. So here I am already prepared to visit my father.When I told my father that I would be leaving his house and coming back to Lorenzo's house,he wasn't pleased. But what can he do?As much as he doesn't want to accept him, Lorenzo is still my husband.That is something he has to come to terms with sooner or later. I know my father,if he was still the man he was a month ago he would have already dragged me back home
MeganSofia's voice rings in my ears and I'm not surprised she's the one who ordered someone to kidnap me. The blindfold is removed and I blink my eyes to adjust to the sudden assault of light. “It's good to see you again, sister.”Sofia says in a mocking voice.I glare at her. “I wouldn't say the same thing Sophia. There's nothing pleasant about seeing your ugly face.” I retort, A resounding slap echoes through the room and my cheeks burn from the impact. “Ugly you say?”she snaps, “then I will show you what ugly looks like.”she adds slapping me across the face again. “ Stop it both of you. I didn't bring her here to watch you two fight like cats and mice," Another familiar voice says. My eyes follow the direction of the voice and there she is;Harriet Javier's mother sitting on a chair and watching us like we are some clowns. She stands from her chair and starts walking towards me. She stalks at me each of her footsteps ringing warning bells in my mind. “ Megan,” she calls “ yo
LorenzoAfter a much needed long shower, I step out of the bathroom and get dressed to start my work for the day.Last night was very hectic. I was in the middle of something with Megan when my second in command,Hugo called. Apparently there was some trouble at the docks.For the second time this month someone tried to screw me over. I left the house in a hurry.of course I know Megan was disappointed but I know she understands that business means business.I don't mix business with pleasure, when duty calls, I drop everything else and attend to it.I haven't managed to be who I am by lazing around. We spend the whole night hunting the group that has been trying to fuck with me.Last night, two of my guards at the warehouses were found dead mysteriously. We were supposed to dispatch a very important shipment but with everything happening, I had to postpone it. I don't want something like what happened the other time to repeat itself. It pisses me off that I did not get to know who
I rush to her scooping her in my arms and hug her tightly. She trembles in my arms, a whimper leaving her lips. I can feel my anger simmering deep within me at the sight of my woman. her cheeks swollen and clothes tattered makes me almost lose my mind.A moment later, Hugo walks to me.he doesn't say a word just patting me on the shoulder. He doesn't need to say shit and he knows that very well. “ L-Lorenzo,”Megan calls in a weak voice. I give her a kiss on the forehead and murmur words of assurance that she is alright. That everything is alright and nobody is going to hurt her as long as I am here. I carry her in my arms and don't let her go until we are inside the car. I try to place her at the passenger seat so that I can get on the wheel but her grip on me gets tighter. “Don't,”she whispers. I can see that she's scared.I can feel it. Who wouldn't be scared after what she went through?for someone who has been sheltered all her life, she must be shaken by what happened today.
Lorenzo Amelia seemed taken aback by my outburst. “Lorenzo…” she calls, sending me a look of unease. “What do you think you are doing?" I repeat my earlier question, sending a glare her way. “I thought I would…I mean we would…” “We would do what, Amelia? you thought we would sleep together just because you offered me your body. Do you think I am that type of a man?” Her earlier actions when I dropped her at the hotel and now, she was parading her naked body on my bed? I don't know what gave her the impression that I would be interested in her if she threw herself at me. Six years of knowing each other and I never attempted to think of her as more than a friend. Seeing her actions today to say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. There's a type of woman I loathe most and I thought Amelia was not one of them but her actions were proving me wrong. “Lorenzo, I want you. What's so bad about a woman wanting a man?” Amelia inquires,her eyes holding my gaze. “Ther
Lorenzo After leaving the club, I dismiss my driver. My head is so full of undigested information that Hugo and Red fed me. The dry gentle breeze seems like a good way for me to clear up my thoughts. I clutch at the small paper which contains Megan's resident address that Hugo slipped in my hands earlier. When I brought up the matter of meeting with Megan earlier, Red did not like the idea. “My sister is finally moving on with her life, must you come back and ruin everything?” Those were her words. The words that stabbed me like a poisonous dagger straight to my heart. Everyone else seemed too concerned about Megan; they didn't seem to realize that just like her, I was in a lot of pain. There isn't a single night I don't regret making the wrong choice back then. Everyday I pray that I might be given a chance to apologize to her. I know that a simple apology cannot change anything, especially not what I did to her,but that has never stopped me from hoping. It's like l
Lorenzo I still find it hard to believe that Megan is still alive. My woman is alive after five years of coming to terms with the fact that I would never see her again. When I laid my eyes on her, the first reaction I had was shock and disbelief. I had to fight with everything in me not to pull her in my arms and kiss her senseless. Then when she acted like she didn't recognize me, I felt like someone just stabbed me with a sharp poisoned dagger. She ignored me. She fucking ignored me like I was a nobody to her. Maybe I am a nobody now. She has Richard who seems to adore her and that guy Angelo. Why did he call her baby sister? Is there something I need to know about my woman? I have been absent minded throughout the whole time I stayed at the event. Amelia has been bugging me, asking me about my change of behavior since we met that strange woman as she calls her. I haven't said a word about it and I don't plan to do so. I feel like my life has just turned into a soap opera.
Megan I'm still coming to terms with the fact that Marco invited me to his family dinner and I agreed. Left to me, I wouldn't have agreed but I still remember what my mother told me the last time we met. She requested me to hear him out and that's why I said yes to his invitation. I am lost in my thoughts when someone taps me in the back. I turn around and see Richard's smiling face. I give him a smile of my own. “Why are you here drinking all by yourself?" he asks, looking at the glass of champagne in my hands. “I just wanted some alone time," I reply. I am not someone who enjoys socializing and attending events. I'd rather work behind the scenes and make the event successful than participate in one. But I couldn't say no to Richard's invitation. “Come, I'll introduce you to someone. He's a good friend of mine and a possible client.”Richard offers me but I shake my head. “I think I have met enough clients so far. If I add more, I am afraid I will have to disappoint other
Lorenzo After making all the necessary arrangements at the office for the two days I'll be away,I make my way to the elevator when my phone starts ringing. Removing the phone from my pants pocket, Amelia's name flashes on the screen. I frown in confusion. I did tell her that I will be away from the city for two days. I also informed her about the dinner we would be going to when I come back so why is she calling again. Swiping my finger across the screen, Amelia's distressed voice rings in my ears. I can hear a male voice shouting in the background and the sound of something crashing on the floor. My heart races with worry as I press the button to the ground floor. The ride which usually seems too short suddenly becomes long. When the elevator opens at the ground floor, I dash and make my way to the already waiting car. “Rico, drive me to Amelia's house.” I order my driver. Rico must have seen the anxiousness on my face. He starts the car immediately. I settle down and t
MeganI pull my car outside the Chase family house. I can see that the guests have started arriving from the number of extravagant cars parked in the driveway. This is the first time the Chase family is holding a banquet at their house. I am used to planning their events at big hotels and restaurants. Richard mentioned that tonight's party will be attended by not only the elites in Vegas,but also from surrounding cities. It's a big business party where investors and clients will be making their appearances and interacting. Richard also said that it is good for my business. He believes that after this party, I might be going home with clients from outside Vegas and honestly I am excited. I step outside my car and make my way to the backyard where the party will be held. I have been here in the past two days decorating the venue and making other necessary arrangements. My clients trust me because I always make sure to do their work to satisfaction. I'd rather concentrate on quality
Megan I look at the woman staring back at me in the reflection of the mirror as I apply my lipstick.I smile to myself loving the look I pulled off for today. I will be attending the Chase family party as the event planner and also Richard's date. I chose to go with a semi-formal look for the party.I am wearing a long blue satin dress. It has a simple neckline and long sleeves, covering enough to feel comfortable but still looks elegant. The waist is fitted, and the skirt flows down to the floor in a soft A-line shape. A small silver design at the waist adds a nice touch, and the dress has a slight train at the back. It feels classy and just right for the occasion.I would have preferred my pants and a satin blouse over these fancy dresses but I can't embarrass Richard after he invited me to his family party.I have been responsible for almost every event that happens in The Chase family. When I opened my company, the Chase family was my first ever big client which I landed without
Lorenzo Shutting the door to my car, I make my way to the deserted cemetery with a bouquet of lilies in hand. Every time,I walk up these stairs with a heavy heart. It has been five long years since the day I accepted that the love of my life was gone and gone forever. Today is the day we laid her to rest. Every year on this particular day, I come here today to spend time with Megan, remembering the good old days.It's a day I specially dedicated to her alone. Everyone knows that I don't work, not even an emergency stops me from spending time with her.It makes me feel like I am close to her.Standing at the foot of her polished grave,I place my flowers on the gravel then proceed to sit next to them.“How have you been my love?” I ask, cleaning the dry leaves perched on the gravel.Some might think that I am crazy but it helps me when I chat with her. It feels like I am sitting with her sharing a conversation with her while she only listens. Amelia said that it helps and it has been
Lorenzo They say that time flies fast but the past six months feels like six decades. Six months and I have done nothing but grief the disappearance of Megan. That day after my confrontation with Javier and Red declaring that I didn't deserve Megan, I ended up drinking myself into a stupor. Of course,Gino and Hugo carried me home. The following morning, I headed to my father's house and confronted him about Javier's accusation. The old man denied having anything to do with her kidnapping and the fire that day. After that I went to speak with Mr Clark. The disappointed look and hatred burning in his eyes have been a constant nightmare for the past six months. Just like everyone else did, he accused me of being the reason his daughter was no more. I've lived with guilt for the past six months and done everything to relieve that guilt. Nothing seems to work though, and I am still stuck in the past. A past I wish that I have the power to change but wishes are not horses. I can only li
