When they arrived at the main entrance, one of Chiara's bodyguards approached her.

"Good evening, Boss." He greeted her.

She nodded her head in response and unlocked the door.

"Thanks for the company." She said to him when they entered the house and she walked away with the bodyguard following close behind her.

He was annoyed by how she dismissed him but he ignored it and decided to follow them. He saw them enter the study and he waited some seconds before he moved towards the door. He pressed his ear against the door, eavesdropping on their conversation. All he got from their conversation was Nick's name. They were speaking Italian and he did not understand the language, hence every other thing they said sounded strange to him.

When he heard footsteps approaching the door, he walked stealthily and fast to the living room. He had just sat down when he heard their footsteps approaching the living room.

    Chiara was shocked to see Xavier waiting for her in the foyer when she arrived. He looked at her with so much hatred and anger, he was staring daggers at her like he would kill her at any moment. Already accustomed to such stares, she ignored him. "What did you do to him?" "You are going to be more specific if you want an answer from me." She replied and strode in the direction of her bedroom. "Nick. Did you have your men kill him because you don't want your hands dirty?" He stood in front of her and observed her clothes. She was still in the same clothes she wore earlier in the morning and there was not a trace of blood on them. "I am not scared of blood, not in the very least. If I decide to let my men kill for me, it is just division of labour." She walked around him and continued walking in the direction of her bedroom. "You psychopath, what did you do to Nick?" His voice rang after her. "I do not remember

"You have no right to ask me questions like that." She walked away from him and headed to her bedroom. "Oh really?" He followed her up the stairs. "So, you could not call and tell me you were going to be late." "You don't have a cellphone." She entered her room and was about to shut the door when Xavier walked in. "I'm sure you could have figured something out, if you wanted to." She shrugged her jacket off and turned to face him. "Yeah, if I wanted to." His expression of anger suddenly morphed to concern and he moved closer to her. "Are you okay?" She did not understand the reason for his sudden change in mood. "Yeah, why do you ask?" "Because you have blood all over your top.

"Which deal?" She returned to checking the files on the table as she spoke. "The new hotel in Las Vegas." "What happened?" She asked even though she already guessed what went wrong.

    Marcos unlocked the door to Chiara's house and entered. He checked the living room and kitchen but she was not there. "Chiara!" He shouted her name as he went up the stairs. Xavier ran out to meet him at the top of the stairs. He was shirtless and his sweatpants hung low on his waist. "She is not around." He said. Marcos was infuriated by Xavier's lack of clothing. "Is this the way you parade yourself around the house when she is around?" "That is none of your business." Xavier replied. Marcos moved closer to him to intimidate him. They were the same height but Marcos was bulkier than Xavier and he had a dangerous aura about him. He placed his hand on Xavier's shoulder and squeezed it in a punishing way. Xavier grabbed his hand and removed it forcefully. Marcos stepped back from him, leaving space between them so he could control his anger. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. 'I need a drink.' He said in

    Chiara woke up with a smile on her face. Groggily, she turned in her bed to see Xavier staring at her. As usual, he was awake before her. He was staring at her in an adoring way. "Good morning." Xavier greeted her with a smile. He was lying down on his right side, the sheets around his hips, covering his lower body. His elbow was leaning on the bed, supporting his torso which was slightly raised up and his chin was resting on his palm. "Good morning. Here I was thinking you were going to spend the next hour looking at me." Chiara said, teasing him about the day he watched her for hours as she slept. "I can not help it, you are just so beautiful." "And you are charming." Glancing at his naked torso, she smirked. There were a few bite marks on his neck, where she had lightly nibbled the night before. His hair was tousled from her tugging it and running her hands in it. To her, he was the epitome of perfect

    There were flashes from many cameras directed at their limousine immediately they stopped. Chiara groaned silently. The sight of the reporters by the entrance irritated her. It was the annual gala ball hosted by Leonardo. The gala was to celebrate Mariano Corp. and it also served as a means of raising funds for his foundation. The foundation was established by Leonardo, about twenty four years back, right after Chiara was born. The foundation catered for abused women and children, Leonardo was very passionate about this cause. The gala was taking place at the Mariano mansion, in the ballroom on the ground floor. Marcos accompanied Chiara to the gala, just as he always did. It was a tradition that had been going on for the last eight years, since the first time she attended the gala. Even when Marcos was romantically involved with another person, they still went together. A valet appeared by the door of the limousine and opened it for her. H

    When Chiara returned home that night. Xavier met her in the foyer. "Welcome home." He greeted her with a warm smile. His eyes gleamed and he looked excited to see her. She dropped her bag on the floor and moved closer to him. Leaning into him, her hands snaked around his neck. She looked at him, his beautiful hazel eyes looked golden. Her hands trailed up into his short hair and she pulled his head down towards hers. Stretching up on her tiptoes, she kissed him. She kissed him with so much passion and he kissed her back. His arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Her body was pressed against his own and she felt his heart pounding in his chest, just like hers. Her body heated up as his hands moved around on her back. It was like she had been thirsty for days and he was the last drop of water available. She reveled in his touch, she had missed it. Gasping, she broke the kiss so they could both breathe. Her hands

    Adrian released a sigh as the door closed behind Scott. He was relieved to be done with the whole rings fiasco and to finally be alone with Chiara. He refilled his glass of vodka. It was too early to be drinking and he still had a lot of work to do. But with the way the meeting started, he deserved a drink. He could feel her gaze on him as he gulped down the whole drink at once. He dropped the empty tumbler on the table and turned to face her. "I wanted to pay for the rings." Chiara said. "Yeah, I know." And he was glad that he was able to pay for them before she did. "Then, why did you pay for them?" "Because, at this point, it seems like the only thing you have to wear that is from me. It may be the only gift you accept from me, at least, until we are married." Chiara scoffed and he smirked at her. He knew she did not believe him, but he was being sincere. "Besides, I am pretty sure it is one of my duti

    The door opened and someone walked in. The door closed and the air in the room changed. Instantly, she knew it was Adrian. "You are late. Again." "I am sorry, there was traffic on my way back." Adrian replied. "Despite how much I hate apologies, I accept yours. After all, you did leave some entertainment for me." She chuckled as she remembered the image she saw when she first walked into the office. "It was quite a warm welcome. I am certain people of your gender will even refer to it as hot." She turned around to see Camille staring at her with shock. Adrian seemed annoyed, a muscle in his jaw was ticking. He glared at Camille like he was imagining killing her. "I am sure it was a mistake, whatever she did." "Oh! It was quite lovely actually." She walked over to him and stood just a feet away from him. "I am sure you would have loved it. In any case, the welcome was originally for you." Adrian clo

    Looking around the room, Chiara admired the interior design of the building. She was on the thirty-sixth floor in the headquarters of Nicolettis Company.. The Nicolettis Company was into construction, real estate and property development. The floor housed the real estate company, which was a subsidiary of the main company. There were cubicles and a few offices on the floor and everyone seemed occupied with work. The place screamed out business and order. Everyone was busy with a task or more and they all seemed really organized. It was her first time at the building, so she moved around the office floor, observing the work process. After the satisfaction of observing people working, she decided to focus on her main reason for visiting the company. She went to the elevator and clicked on the button. When the elevator opened, she walked in and pressed the button for the fiftieth floor. There were five other people in the elevator, but she did not bother greeting any of the

    Later that night when Chiara returned from work, she went up to Xavier's bedroom. She knocked on the door twice and waited for him to open the door. She was not the patient kind but she wanted to respect his privacy, given his earlier complain about it. "Good evening." He opened the door and stood in the doorway. He looked dishelved, his hair was tousled, his clothes rough and his eyes were dull. She had checked up on him using the surveillance cameras and she noticed that he did not leave his bedroom throughout the day. After he hurriedly left her bedroom in the morning, he had stayed cooped up in his bedroom. "Good evening. I brought dinner since you did not make anything." "I do not feel like eating." "Too bad. You have not left your room all day, which means you have not eaten as well. You can either follow me willingly to the kitchen or I can make you." He seemed surprise that she was aware of that, but h

    Xavier stared at Chiara as she slept. She looked so peaceful and harmless as she slept, he never would have guessed she was a psychopath. The corners of her lips were curved in a smile and she looked angelic. The cold expression that was usually on her face was replaced with a happy expression. The sheets were wrapped around her beautiful body, but the top of her breasts was exposed. A desire to make love to her again filled him as he watched the rising and falling movements of her chest. He felt his penis hardening again and he tried to think of something else. His eyes fell on the gun resting on the nightstand beside Chiara. He stretched his body over her, trying his best not to wake her up and he quietly grabbed the gun. He returned to his former position, with the gun in his hand. He sat up straight, his back leaning against the headboard of the bed. Different thoughts ran through his mind as he stroke the gun. An idea to escape came to his mind. For h

    After his soak in the bathtub, Xavier felt refreshed. The aches in his body were reduced. He found some painkillers in a first aid kit and he took them to relieve the soreness of his muscles. With renewed determination, he decided to prepare a lovely dinner for Chiara. What Marcos told him helped him see Chiara from a different perspective. He was beginning to understand her better. He believed everything Marcos had said excluding the part where he said Chiara could never love him. She was obviously attracted to him and her nice deeds toward him showed him that she cared for him. He was certain that he could make her feel something for him. As he made the dinner, the soreness intensified to a dull ache, but he ignored the pain and continued cooking. The meal consisted of antipasto, tortellini with tomato cream sauce, chicken wings, salad and cream pie. He wanted to do something special for her, something to show her that he cared
