37_ A Good Day For Confessions II

When he got to their room, Paige was nowhere to be found.
With one or two questions put in the right places, he found out she was with his mum and went to collect her only to see her crying.
The scene left a mark on his heart and he was ushered into this state of helplessness where he didn't know if he should step in and console her, or disappear before she sees him for fear she would be embarrassed if he saw her crying.
So he had carried himself back to their room and tried to figure out why she was crying, but for the life of him he couldn't come up with anything.
In the end, he feared it had something to do with him. Maybe he had offended her in a way and she couldn't talk to him because he was her boss or maybe because the charade was getting to her, and his sister and family members are givi

Her eyes widened inexplicably, and then gradually came down to their normal size. She bit her lips and Leo waited patiently. Her hand fell from his cheek. "I…My ex-boyfriend, anytime he invited me to a function like this, it was just another way for him to make me feel small. At the time, I was so madly in love with him, I didn't care. I thought it would get better with time. He always used to say I didn't belong in that kind of function that's why he brought me around to learn one or two things about class." When she finished speaking, Leo's face contorted. He wanted to find that ex-boyfriend of hers who had done serious damage to her like this and extend the same generosity. He grabbed her hand and with the other hand lifted her chin so he could stare into her eyes. "You will fit perfectly here. You were born for this type of show." "You surprise me, boss." Her voice quivered. Leonardo's face changed slightly he didn't like that

If he had heard, was that why he was like this, or was there something else wrong. Paige swallowed and smiled nervously at him. "Can we go now, am done with my call." As soon as she finished saying that, she lowered her head. Leonardo's stare was making her nervous. It was direct and pained. Standing there the way he was without saying a word and with that complicated expression on his face Paige didn't know what to do. "Leonardo," she called again. That seems to break him out of his trance and he walked over to her and hesitated before he grabbed her hand and directed her towards the garden. He wasn't even talking to her, yet Paige felt anxiety from how cold he seemed, so much that the fact they were holding hands offered her no thrill like it did before and she did not feel any tiny sparks from their hands touching. All she felt was anticipation. Anticipation for what? She did not know. All she knew was that there

Paige swallowed. "Should she tell him it was because she was in love with him and was hoping he would date her? Or should she lie outright and deflect his questions? In the end, she decided on the truth. "My ex treated me horribly and no, am not still pinning after him." Her voice was bitter, skipping entirely the reason she was still single. Leo's face fell. "Do you…Do you care to elaborate on that a little more?" No matter how casual he tried to make that sound. Or how disinterested he tried to sound. Paige couldn't help noticing the subject was of interest to him. So she lifted her chin. Feeling like she was being bared open and wondering what his sudden interest in her past was. "Why don't you tell me about your love life instead." She had expected him to close off after asking that question. Instead, he leaned back in the chair and smiled. Amusement dancing on his lips at the look on her face. Had he realized what she was trying to

*Two days later* In the study on the second floor of the palazzo, decorated in bland colors of white, gray, and navy blue, and arranged tactically to meet the taste of any man. The curtains drawn closed, and without the natural source of light created an illusion of detachment from the outside world. Behind the desk in his office, Leonardo stared at the document in his hands for a long time before he threw it aside and sighed heavily. Ever since he made Paige climax in the garden, the strangest thing has been happening to him. He has been constantly replaying the events in his head. Of how she moaned and arched her back, the feel of her skin under his hand, and when he was not thinking about that he was thinking about the way her eyes sparkled whenever she looked at him, the gentle way she tucked her hair behind her ear whenever she was nervous or embarrassed about something. And then — her lips. On one or two occasions Leo had caught himself

For a good ten seconds, he stood, rendered speechless by surprise before pure hot loathing eroded his face, and he covered the remaining distance separating them, folding his arms over his chest, assuming a menacing stance, and standing over her in the pool. "Hello, Leonardo." Sultry, sleeky, and breathy, that was how her voice was. Leo's expression tightened into one of disgust. "What are you doing here?" Seeing that, Lolita pouted and clicked her tongue. “What a way to welcome me. Didn't you miss me, Leonardo?" She smiled and swam to the edge of the pool, resting her hand on the porcelain tile and Leo got an excellent view of her breast. “It’s just like old times you, and me alone in this big house.” Hearing those words, a rush of memories flooded Leo's brain. Of a 21-year-old him making out with Lolita in this very pool. His parents gone for a business trip and his sister out to work. In their absence, he had hosted a party. A l

“What’s the meaning of this Leonardo? Why do you have that… that woman in your arms?" Carlo pointed in annoyance. Flavia covered her mouth with her hand and gushed out a horrified, "Oh my goodness.” Brown eyes blazing, jaw clenched hard, Leonardo released Lolita's arm he had been gripping tight and gave her a little push away from him. She stumbled forward. Catching herself at the last minute Lolita turned and noticed his parents and to Leo’s horror the woman who had grown pale at the thought of the security men seeing her in her bikini, parted her hair behind her ear, and released a drunken inspired smile. "Leonardo, you didn't tell me your parents were here I have been wanting to meet them." Her voice went high pitched at the last sentence. Giggling, she walked towards his parents. Leo could sense a disaster in the air. He moved fast to stop her, but on realizing there was no way he could stop her before she reached his parents. He sto

"Maybe he is saying the truth," his mother cried at last and moved to her husband trying to reason with him however Carlo didn't want to be reasoned with. He detached Flavia's hand from his chest and gruffed. "Nonsense," pointing at Leo, "This boy doesn't want to change. He is my only son, and he doesn't want to change. My only regret is that I thought he would make a fine CEO, but I was wrong." Then to Leo. "How can you bring your fiancée here and then go ahead and have a liaison with another woman? Is that the reason you refused to come to the charity function with us?" "That's what I have been trying to tell you, father." He just isn't capable of keeping it in his pants. If he doesn't value his commitment to his relationship, how do we expect him to take responsibility for many people under him when he can't even keep his priorities straight." "Rosa, don't say that about your brother. He is trying his best I know it," Flavia cried. Leonardo

Suddenly Leo didn't feel like defending himself again. To hell with the company. To hell with all of them. When had he ever won against Rosa? She was always one step ahead of him. Maybe he doesn't deserve the company, Paige, any of it. His sudden withdrawal brought about a moment of reflection and both Carlo and Flavia began to have doubts in his favor. And in that silence, a gentle voice spoke out. "I believe him." Leo looked up, it was Paige. "You believe him in what? Try to be a little more clear *bambina-child*." Carlo quipped. "I believe him when he said Lolita threw herself on him." "How so, my dear. Is there something you know?" Flavia asked. Paige nodded her head. "Back in California, women were always after Leonardo because of his money and status, and they did do anything to get what they want. On one occasion one had even stripped herself naked because she wanted me to find her like that so I will break up with my Leo.

The cool air was gentle and caressed Leo's skin as he stood on the porch watching the beach from their house. He could still hear the merry and laughter coming from inside the house where Paige had taken it upon herself to turn into the family jester. Most of the jokes were told at his expense, Leo hadn't minded as long as it made Paige happy. He had sat through it quietly and would have continued to do so had his mother not recounted one embarrassing moment in his early childhood, Leo wished to God no one will hear about. Embarrassed, he had to come outside to save face. That was where he was, casually sipping his champagne, his cheeks slightly flushed when he felt a presence. Quickly, Leo turned his head only to come face to face with hissiste

There was a strange glint in his eyes. "I'm expected in Italy soon." It took Paige a moment to realize what that meant. "You are leaving?" Paige murmured, unaware of the sadness that had crept into her voice. It must have called to him because his face scrunched up. And his adam's apple bobbed up and down. "Don't say it like am casting you away after one night of sex." "Then how is it?" "You know that's not what it is." Paige squeezed their linked hands, covering it with one of her own and stealing Leo's attention with the trembling of her lips. "We just entered into a relationship and you are already leaving?" What will happen to our relationship when you are gone. You will be in Italy, busy with work while I will be here, what will happen to us. And don't tell me we could go into a long-distance relationship. We've hardly

He pulled away from her then, breathing heavily. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were filled with love, unspent. “Not fair,” he growled. “You are still clothed while I'm naked. It gives you more advantage—"“Then take it off," Paige commanded.His eyes darkened, and he reached out with the intention to pry her off one of two clothes, and with a twist of her body, Paige escaped his arms and ran towards the king-sized bed, laughing when she saw the surprise in his eyes.She felt powerful, naughty, and so in love. Well aware she was teasing him, and that even though it might seem like he was annoyed, he wasn't bothered by it.It felt so good being this way with him. Being able to play with him like this. It made Paige smile. Then she saw the bulge in his pants and her

Four Weeks And A Baby 66_ Grand Confession
Few minutes later, Paige was inside the ostentatious house. After navigating for a while, and pulling open several empty rooms, she finally found Leonardo upstairs in one of the rooms.Contrary to what Wesley believed, Leo was standing by the window. Which gave a natural view of the outside. One hand in his pocket. He had discarded his jacket and was left only in a white shirt and his pants. He was backing her so Paige couldn't see his face, but he must have sensed her presence because he said without turning, “I thought i told you to gohome, Paige.”Paige stepped inside quietly, closing the door. Waiting for him to face her, but he never did. "I don't want to. I don’t want to go home.”He turned then, his eyes resting on her arms, the tear in the hem of her gown. Her knee, and then finally her belly, and his

Leo studied her intently. She was serious. He frowned. "Very well. Do what you want. Stay in the car if you want. That won’t guarantee i will give you a listening ear."After saying that, Leo signaled his driver to head straight to his house.She relaxed then and Leo realized she had been holding her breath. Which Leo did not understand.Another thing he didn't understand was why was she here? Why was she hellbent on explaining herself? What reason did she think she would give that will change his mind? He wanted to believe there was a good reason for this, but he couldn't think of anything."I'm sorry." Leo hadn't realized he had been staring at her until she said that.He turned his face towards the window. Not wanting her to see how that wo
Four Weeks And A Baby 64 Hotel Hallway
Downstairs, in the half-deserted hotel hallway, Leonardo ran an agitated hand over his hair, puffing out air from his mouth. He felt like smashing his fist into something. Worst, he didn’t feel like that would relieve the pain in his chest. It felt like a large hand was closing in around his heart. And squeezing it tight. How could Paige do this to him? And to think that he asked her before if she was pregnant and she lied through her teeth. She looked him straight in the eyes and lied. Made Leo want to curse out in frustration. What has he done to deserve this? Was he thatdespicable? Shewould rather tell Finn she was pregnant than tellinghim?The father of the child.

Finn stood up from theground,looking so lost. “Does he know? Your boss?" He gestured with his hand. "Does he know you are pregnant?"His green eyes rested on her stomach, and then back to her face. Paige shook her head. “He doesn’t know.” "He doesn’t know?" Finn repeated, his face serious. Paige could feel the wheels turning in his head. He seemed to be thinking hard. Then he ran a hand over his face and planted it on his waist as if coming to a sudden conclusion. "Don't tell him." “What?” “I said don’t tell him.” "You can't be serious!" Paige cried. “Hear me out before you say anything," Finn said, stepping closer to her. Paige knew she hadn’t told Leonardo anything about her pregnancy, she knew she was delaying, but she was going to tell him, eventually. However, what Finn was suggesting was the opposite. He was insinuating she shouldn’t tell Leo at all. He grabbed her hand, and Paige trie
Four Weeks And A Baby 62_ Marry Me, Paige
Finn, who was talking with his friends, tried to call her, but she ignored him and dashed out of the door. "Paige!" Finn called and hurried after her. Immediately she stepped out of the reception which was held in the halls of a fancy hotel. Paige hurried to the nearest hallway. On getting there, she rested her back on the wall, and closed her eyes, clenching her purse tight. Paige was trying to gather herself before Finn reached her. However, she was not successful. Because in the next second Finn's hands were on her shoulders and he was turning her around. "Hey, what's wrong? Look at me," Finn said when Paige wouldn't look at him. Tipping her chin, he looked into her eyes. "Are you crying? Don't cry." Finn cooed. There was something about trying to hold back tears and then someone offering sympathy that suddenly made the tears come faster. That was the case with Paige because immediately Finn cooed that word 'Don't cry.' Not minding sh
