“ What the fu…” I stopped myself before I could use a curse word in the midst of my staff." What are you doing here?” I asked and he just raised a brow looking at me like I was dumb or something." Mr Giovanni, we're so happy to see you," one of the men in the room suddenly stood up as he rushed to my number one enemy like he had seen a god and I couldn't help but feel annoyed about it." Miss Vincent, Mr Giovanni here is one of our company's biggest and most resourceful partners, we should be glad he decided to join us in the meeting today. He's a very busy man." Should I be glad about that?I didn't want him here for any reason. Whether he was the fucking president, I don't care. “ There's no need for him to be here either, since he's busy he should go ahead with other things, I don't need him here," I said and all my staff in the room turned to me like I just committed the biggest crime and I deserve to be behind bars. Who were they supposed to support? Him or me?“ Mr Giovanni,
“ I hope I don't remind you of these words one day when you fall in love,"“ Get out of my office," I said and he raised his hands in surrender before walking out of my office.Fall in love, my foot.That woman and love can't go well, the only person that woman loves is herself. I got to work as I tried taking care of everything that needed my attention.I was working when my office door suddenly burst open.“ I tried to stop her," Leo said.“ And you said he wasn't in his office," One of my flints said as she turned to Leo with a glare and as he raised his hands in surrender before leaving.“ What are you doing here? Don't you know I'm a busy man?” I asked as she walked to me, adding an extra sway to her hips. Golddigger. “ What do you want? More money?” I asked with a raised brow.“ Come on baby, it's not always about money," I'm sure that sounded like a lie to even her, but I didn't say anything, I just watched as she walked to me then she came to stand in front of me.I have a f
" What the hell?! Who the heck is that?" Leo cursed before we both opened the car door and stepped out.The person in the pink Lamborghini opened the door and came out and just as expected it was a woman.She stepped out of the car like a goddess and not like a woman who just crashed into my Rolls-Royce. She was wearing a blue baggy jeans with a pink crop top and white sneakers and then a black face cap. “ I'm so sorry for this, please I'll call my manager and have him fix this immediately,” she said and I just watched her with a raised brow as she brought out her phone to make a call.“ Mark, I just got into an accident. Can you meet me immediately, I crashed into someone's car and we need…” I stopped listening to her speak as Leo whispered something." Are you really going to let her fix it? The damage isn't much,” Leo asked and I just shrugged." I like things like this, so I'm just gonna watch,” I said. “ I'm so sorry, I already called my manager, please let's leave the road be
" You both know each other?" One of my contractors Nico asked.“ Not like we really know each other, we just met on my way here, I crashed into his car," she said.“ Oh, there we go again," the man said as a slap landed on the back of his head. “ Please, I'm sorry for whatever she might have done, my friend here can be careless sometimes, so pardon her," Nico said." Why does everyone think I'm careless, don't ask me to help you with anything ever again,” she said to Nico in anger before turning to me." I'm sorry once again for the accident Mr Gonzalez,” she said before running out of the building. “ Don't mind her, she's just being dramatic," Nico said as we continued our way into the building. One of the workers walked to us as he handed us helmets.“ She's my best friend by the way, I left this at her place and she had to bring it for me," he said as he showed me the blueprint he was holding.“ Okay," I said.“ So I made a few changes and adjustments and I'd like you to look at
“ What…what…” I still couldn't find my voice as I turned to my family all looking at me with smiles on their faces. And then I turned to my number one enemy who was on one knee with a ring open for me to marry him.His mother was here, so was his father and they looked very happy. They looked like if I said yes it would mean the world to them, but I didn't want to say yes, I didn't want to be trapped with their son forever.I turned to my best friend who also had a look of shock on his face then I turned back to the man still on his knees. He looked like the happiest man in the world and I knew just why, he had me just where he wanted and that smirk was enough proof.“ Come on accept the ring already,” his mom said with a broad smile on her face.They all didn't know how I was feeling, they all didn't care if I wanted to accept the ring or not. What if I just run out that door and fly back to America?" She's in too much shock she can't even speak,” I heard my mom say. All she was rea
" God, they're so annoying, why do they all seem so happy?" I asked in annoyance as Rodrigo chuckled.I had to escape from my own engagement as Rodrigo and I ran away heading for my room.“ Did you want them to be sad or something?" He asked and I just shrugged.“ They're just overdoing it and it feels like I'm a business token or something, I know why my parents are very happy, the Gonzalez has one of the biggest companies here in Italy and around the world, we are rich, yeah, but money is never enough for my dad, he's way too happy about this," I said as we reached my room and I opened the door as we both walked in and I closed the door behind me. “ So when is this plan A going to kick off?" I asked as I sat on my bed and Rodrigo also sat down beside me." She met him,” he said." Really? When?” I asked as I turned to him in anticipation." They met today, you know Rosabella is a very good actress, she acted like she didn't know him,” He said with a chuckle." How do you mean?" I a
The moment she was told we would be getting married next Saturday, her face paled and I couldn't help but smile, just one week, one week and she'd be my wife, mine to torture forever. I couldn't help but chuckle as plans begin to form in my head on how to make her life a living hell.I'm going to deal with her and she's going to regret all she did to me. It's a promise. Those days were horrible, she made my high school days a living hell. Literally.Flashback‘ Guys, look who it is, the crippled boy!’ She announced as everyone clapped in mockery before they started laughing and I clenched my fists in anger.She does this every time, she enjoys making me suffer.I tried to push my wheelchair out of there but she blocked me.‘ Where do you think you're going? After humiliating me, you think you're going to just run away? That's not going to happen, you're going to suffer for what you've done,’ she whispered so only I could hear her before she pushed away from me.I knew it was a wrong
"You're going to give me a headache if you keep walking around like that, we already have a plan so stop it,” Rodrigo said with an eye roll and I glared at him.“ What if it doesn't work in a week's time, what if we can't stop this before then?" I asked as I fell on my bed with a sigh.Rodrigo lifted my head and kept it on his lap as he started running his fingers through my hair. “ I know you're scared but you have to be positive, let's see what Rosabella would do and then like I said if that doesn't work then we'd bring our fake marriage idea, I know I'm going to get in serious trouble for this but I'll do it for you," He said as I turned to look at him with a cheeky smile.“ Awwnn, my bestie is such a softie," I said and he just rolled his eyes. " As much as I just want to sleep, I gotta go, I have to finish up some work my Mom has been on my neck about,” he said." Alright then, I'll just walk you to the door," I said. " Okay,” he said as we both got up from bed as we walked ou
I couldn't help but laugh as I sat on the couch in the karaoke room listening to Rodrigo sing at the top of his lungs, he was singing off key and he didn't even realize it.In here I felt so happy and so carefree, like I didn't have a burden in the world, like I couldn't see, like there might be a possibility that my husband didn't feel the same way as I did.“Whoah." I clapped my hands as Rodrigo ended the song in an overly terrible high note. “Come let's sing together," he said as he held my hand and started twirling me around and I couldn't help but laugh.“Girl, you know I want your love, your love was handmade for somebody like meCome on now, follow my leadI may be crazy, don't mind meSay: Boy, let's not talk too muchgrab on my waist and put that body on meCome on now, follow my leadCome, come on now, follow my lead, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,” Rodrigo and I shouted the lyrics as we danced. “I'm in love with the shape of youWe push and pull like a magnet doAlthough my heart i
“You should be able to see in a few days with much precaution," the doctor said and I nodded.“I've given Rodrigo a pair of glasses you should use for now, you could see slightly just a little bit but it would do for now," the doctor said,"Here, I'll put the glasses on you,” Rodrigo said as he put the glasses on me and I could catch a few colors, nothing much.“This is so annoying,” I groaned,"Come on, you'll have to manage this for now.” He said and I nodded with a pout." Would that be all, doctor?" Rodrigo asked the doctor."Yes, please,” he said before I heard his footsteps exiting the room. “We're leaving now," Rodrigo said as he held my hand and I stood up from the bed then he started leading the way.“You know your husband called, he was so worried about you. He even threatened to kill me if anything happens to you," Rodrigo said and I stopped.“You're lying," I said and he chuckled,“I told you that guy is crazy about you, you should have heard the way he sounded, like he w
"You can see me?" Rodrigo asked in excitement as he took my hand but I shook my head.“I can't see you, not yet, but my vision caught the color red, that's why I asked if you were wearing red," I explained.“This means that soon enough you'll get your vision back," he said and I couldn't help but smile.I couldn't wait to see the world again, I couldn't wait to look at my reflection in the mirror again.And see Antonio's face. That voice in the back of my mind said and this time I didn't shut it out. “I'm so happy for the improvement no matter how little it is," Rodrigo said as he pulled me to him for a hug.“Your husband would be so happy about the news," Rodrigo said and I quickly pulled away from him.“No, I don't want him to find out. I have a plan Rodrigo, come closer," I said and without a second thought Rodrigo leaned closer as I whispered something into his ear.He gasped before pulling away, I couldn't see his face but I knew he had a mischievous smirk on his face."Wicked.
I adjusted the cufflinks of my suit as soon as I stepped out of the car as my eyes scanned the surroundings of the address I was given.It wasn't the type of place I was used to but I was willing to go to any length to find the truth and no matter how I denied it, I wanted to keep my wife safe.This wasn't for my mother this time, this was for me.“Are you sure we should really be here?" Leo asked from beside me and I spared him a glance before turning to the building that screamed danger.It was a two story building that looked like it had caught fire several times yet it was still standing."If it holds the truth I want, why not?” I said as I made the first move.“We should really contact the police instead," Leo suggested but I ignored him as I pushed the door open and walked in.“The police are slow," I said. He remained quiet after that as he just followed me.As soon as I closed the door, I heard the click of a gun and I slowly turned to see a tall man with tattoos covering his
I couldn't go back to sleep after what I saw. I climbed out of bed with her phone as I walked to the balcony. There were several pictures of us in the restaurant. Pictures of Lilly smiling looking so carefree. I looked at myself and I could see the look in my eyes, the look I thought she couldn't see but someone else caught it. My jaw felt like it would break because of how tight I was clenching it. What if this person was there when we were making love? Fuck! I should have been more careful. I didn't want anyone to witness something that was meant for just us. Could this be the person her stalker? I kept looking at the pictures until my eyes burned. I looked at the message I hadn't noticed because I was too busy staring at the pictures. ‘I see you were having a good time,’ the message read. Who was this person? I knew I wouldn't get any answers because it was late and that alone made me even more angry. I quickly forwarded the message to my phone before deleting
I waited for him to complete what he wanted to say but nothing came out of his mouth. Instead, I felt him bent his head to mine as his breath fanned my face before he claimed my lips in a passionate kiss.I was surprised at first but I found myself kissing him back. There was just something about the way he was kissing, like he was passing a message, telling me something that was maybe too heavy for him to speak out. His mouth devoured mine and I couldn't deny that I loved every bit of it.The way he kissed me was like a starved man who had been deprived all his life. I moaned into the kiss and I weaved my fingers through his hair as our tongues moved in a fierce dance as Antonio grunted, before pushing me on my back and getting on top of me.“God, I hate you," he groaned as his lips started kissing down my neck.“Likewise," I whispered.He didn't respond, instead he just kept kissing me as I felt his hardon on my stomach.I didn't even know where we were, what if someone was watchin
“You know I heard about you being blind and I really wanted to see for myself, damn you look pathetic," I would have rolled my eyes if not for the situation.“Antonio, do you hear anyone speaking because the only thing I can hear is the voice of a pauper," I said and Antonio chuckled,“You're not wrong my dear, there's a lady here who look like she sneaked into this restaurant," Antonio said,“It's a good thing I can't see her, I hate looking at cheap things," “So unfortunate for me that I can," Antonio said,“You should see yourself right now Lilly, blind, looking hopeless like the tramp you are, I wish you'd stay blind forever,"“Oh please Emilia, as you can see I was trying to have a quiet dinner with my husband, just leave. And hold on a minute, you say I'm blind right right? But I'm married and you here my darling can't keep a man for more than a day.” She became silent and I knew that I had struck a nerve."Listen to…"“Hey, hey, hey, you do realize I'm here which means you hav
I was currently sitting on the kitchen counter as I listened to Antonio move around in the kitchen trying to prepare lunch.He had been furious this morning because of my conversation with Scott. I couldn't tell if he was jealous or he was just acting angry because he didn't want his plans to be ruined but either way I found myself apologizing.Something I rarely do. When Scott had asked me the question about the divorce, I didn't know why, but I felt uncomfortable talking about divorcing Antonio. Before, I would have been delighted as long as it meant staying as far away from him as possible, but now it all felt different.“What are you thinking about?" Antonio's voice cut through my thoughts as he handed something to me and I took it, feeling for what it was. It was a snack bag. “Careful, it's open,” he said and I nodded as I held the bag in my hand."What are you making? It smells like pasta,” I said," Glad your nose is working fine,” he said and I scowled."Mrs Gonzalez!" I hea
His response wasn't one I expected as the next thing I felt was his lips on mine.“What…wh…” he swallowed my words as he pushed my back further into the bed and climbed on me. This dude didn't get the fact that I hated him.Yeah, tell yourself that Lilly. Shut up! "For someone who hates me you're always so obedient when I touch you. The way you surrender your body asking for more, your breath, the way you become desperate for me. And you claim you hate me.” He said mockingly as I felt his lips on my neck.“Each time you act like you don't want me but once I'm inside you it's a whole new story."“You're making up things in your stupid head," I said and he chuckled darkly, the sound sending a delicious shiver down my spine.“Tell yourself all you want, but—” he left the word hanging and I didn't know what he wanted to say.He suddenly pulled away from me and a part of me missed his body heat being close to me."Get some sleep, it's just 3:00 am," he said before I heard the bed dip and
