" 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
“ 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,
