" How are we gonna do that?" Rodrigo asked looking quite confused, I was confused too. My parents always got what they wanted and I knew that if I didn't act fast I would soon become the wife of an enemy. I couldn't let that happen, my life would become hell. A thought suddenly came to me, I didn't think it through, it was just an idea but it was worth the shot. " I've got a plan, I don't know if it will work but it's something," I said as I started opening the pizza box that Rodrigo brought. Now I felt better knowing I had a plan even if it wasn't a thoroughly thought-through plan. " What plan?" I beckoned him to come over and he looked at me like I was crazy, walls have ears they say, and I wouldn't want anyone to hear what plan I had in mind. I whispered what I wanted him to do and he gasped looking at me with an evil smirk. " You my friend, you're very dangerous, how did you come up with such a plan? That's going to work and I know just the right person to help us with that
" Have you been smoking lately?" I asked Rodrigo as I looked at him. " I'm serious, if this plan doesn't work, you marry me, if we have a fake marriage and tell them we're married, they will be off your neck," Rodrigo said, sounding so serious and I tried to process his words. Thinking about it, it was actually a good plan, we could stage a marriage, fake loving each other. " Oh my god Rodrigo you're a genius, this is brilliant, if this doesn't work, we'll get married, it's going to be so funny if things turn out like that, they'll be so shocked," " You can say that again," My mood immediately lifted, but we have to work with our plan A first before going with B if A doesn't work. Brilliant. Rodrigo dropped me home and I was no longer worried about meeting my parents. I entered the house with a broad smile on my face. Let's see how they make me marry that man. " Lilly," I heard my mom call just as I stepped foot on the first stairs leading to my room. " Yes Mom," I turned to her
"That bastard, he wants my clients now he also wants my woman," I heard Scott say. " What do you mean by that?" I asked him, feeling like a character in a book that didn't know what role she was playing. " There's nothing to worry about, you wouldn't be marrying that man, I'll make sure of it," He said with so much confidence that it shocked me. " There's something you're not telling me, and I need to know," Scott took my hand and led me to the couch then he sat down and made me sit on his lap. " I just want you to know that you won't marry that man, Antonio is one sick bastard who doesn't care about anyone but himself, someone like him doesn't deserve you, you deserve someone who will treat you like a queen, I might not be a perfect man but I know Antonio is not that man to take care of you, God I even hate to say his name." Scott groaned as he rubbed his eyes in annoyance. " Then let's not talk about him, let's talk about something else, what about you getting me pregnant to avo
"He was in my room last night Rodrigo, I swear it took everything in me not to pull the trigger and bury his goddamn body,” I said in anger. " I would have helped you, what was he even doing in your room?” Rodrigo asked. " Exactly, exactly the question I asked him and the bastard mocked me in the face, in my own room, we really need to go ahead with our plan A real quick Rodrigo, I can't stand the thought of that man not to talk of marrying him, I'll go crazy,” I said with a sigh as I fell on my chair.Today was my first day in the office and Rodrigo came to give me flowers. His way of cheering me up.My father made me the manager of one of his hotels and I know he's going to expect so much from me. It's going to be tough.“ Rosabella said she's still thinking of a way to enter his life without looking suspicious,” Rodrigo said and I couldn't help but sigh as I rested my head on the edge of the table." Cheer up bestie, you're not going to marry him, fate isn't going to be that crue
I had such a tiring day at work but I couldn't deny that it wasn't as bad as I thought.I took my things and put them in my bag ready to go home then I brought out my phone to call Rodrigo so he could come pick me up, he brought me to work this morning with my car but he took the car to work so that he'll be picking me up.“ Hey, I'm getting ready to go down, where are you?” I asked.“ I'm close, let's say in ten minutes I'll be there," he said.“ Alright hurry up, I'm tired and hungry," I said. " Okay, okay be right there,” he said before I ended the call.I took my bag as I walked out of my office.“ Samantha, see you tomorrow," I said to my secretary before walking to the elevator.I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor as I patiently waited to reach.When I reached the ground floor I stepped out of the elevator and walked out of the hotel entering the cold night air.Not up to five minutes a black Bugatti pulled over and I couldn't help but scrunch my
“ Oh my darling I've been so excited all day to see you and look at you, you're here, and you look more beautiful in person," the woman who I guess must be this freak’s mother said as she hugged me and I don't know but I felt good, this wasn't a hug for the media to see, it was a real hug.“ You're so beautiful," she said as she pulled away smiling at me.“ Oh, forgive my manners, I am Gina Gonzalez, I'm sure you must have guessed I'm his mom,” She said and it still surprises me how a sweet looking woman could give birth to such a vile creature like the man standing beside me. “ Let's go to the dining table, I made something special for you," She said as she held my hand and happily dragged me to the dining room.“ Honey she's here," Now she was calling her husband, I'm dead.She led me to their dining room as her pretender of a son tried to act gentlemanly as he pulled a chair for me and I sat down.“ I made lasagna, I heard you like it," She said as her son pulled a chair for her t
“ Are you crazy?!" I asked in anger as I pulled from him and then without a second thought I slapped him hard on the face.“ Lilly! What has gotten into you?!" I heard my mom's voice from behind me and I didn't need to look at her to know she was looking at me in disappointment, she wasn't my problem right now as I had my eyes on the bastard who just kissed me.“ You're going to blame me? He kissed me without my permission when I warned him not to come anywhere near me until after the marriage," I was just saying the marriage part to save myself. I had already made my Mom believe I was okay with the marriage, so I couldn't let any slip up.“ But he's your fiance," she said.“ Doesn't give him the right to kiss me without my permission," I said.“ So you do accept that he's your fiance?" A new voice I could recognize anywhere asked and I felt my heart jump. Scott. Oh no. What was he doing here?I slowly turned and he was there standing just beside my Mom, what was he doing here? Why t
"Get away from me, no, I'm not going to hear it, how could you do that to me?" I asked as I tried to get away from Rodrigo as he tried to touch me.“ You can't be that mad, I knew he wasn't going to cause you any harm," Rodrigo tried to reason with me.“ You know how much I hate that man yet you let him take me, is that how a best friend should act? You didn't even try, you just let him take me! You just gave up without a fight," I said as I went around the table and he kept following me like we were children.“ Come on you of all people should know that if he was going to cause you harm I'll break his nose before he can even get close to you,” he said." It still doesn't make sense to me, you gave me away that's all I can think about, stay away from me, it was like you were giving your blessing,” I said and he just rolled his eyes. " You're being dramatic Lilly,”" Really, I'm being dramatic?” I asked as I stopped to glare at him." Do you know what happened last night? Scott was at
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
