"I don't need you or anyone to fight by my side, this is my destiny. Let me live it. Thank you for everything." She didn't expect it, Ricardo carried her up and puts her gently into the car."Where are we going?" He asks, arranging his seatbelt."Anywhere, take me away." "Should we go to my place?" "Of course not, Take me to a hotel. I don't want to live off you. I owe you a lot already."Ricardo ignored her rejection and took her to his place. Soon, Lucia was settled in his apartment.Lucia knew she had a lot of adjusting to do. She was in a different place now and needed to live responsibly. Lucia admired the room Ricardo gave her, it was spacious and clean just like the Master's bedroom. She was a little bored after staying indoors for a while, arranging her things. She then decided to go speak with him about the new changes. He was no longer her Bodyguard now. More like her benefactor.She knows gently on his room door and his bold voice answered."Come in." Lucia didn't hesi
In the morning, Lucia woke up to a throbbing headache. She fell asleep after so much thinking. She stood up sluggishly and heads to the wardrobe where she changed into a robe and her pink bunny slippers. Lucia seemed to have forgotten to bring a toothbrush with her, she searched her bag thoroughly but couldn't find a toothbrush in it. "I have to start my day without brushing? what's worst than this?" She said in frustration, moving towards the bathroom. Surprisingly, in the bathroom, she saw a set of new toothbrushes in different colors. Lucia stood dumbfounded. Did Ricardo always have guests here or there's always a new set of toothbrushes in the guest room bathroom? She thought but then went ahead to use one.When she was done with everything she got dressed and applied a little makeup. Lucia took out her purse and credit card. She was going to get some things for herself. Since she isn't leaving anytime soon. She didn't plan to depend on Ricardo for everything.Immediately after sh
Lucia finished picking toiletries for herself and headed toward the counter to make payments.She noticed a familiar figure also standing at the counter. But she ignored and approached the young woman."here are the few things I picked out." She extended the basket to her and she quickly received it.The man who noticed the woman beside him was stunned. She looked very beautiful and sexy. Matteo couldn't remove his eyes from Lucia. She was the same lady he rejected from his company almost a month ago. He wondered how Lucia's beauty keep adding up. He was standing behind her, his eyes traced from her back up to her neckline. "Miss Roberto?" He called out and Lucia turned. She had been waiting for it to happen. Even when she didn't look at him, she knew his eyes were all over her body. The fact that he tried sleeping with her that day at his office already made her suspect the kind of person he is.Lucia pretended not to recognize him at first, then she made a surprised face. She was g
They almost forgot where they were until a woman's voice spoke from outside the car, the woman seems to be passing by when she saw them kissing."Oh wow, si Stanno bastinado."The woman said in Italian language. (Oh wow! they are kissing). The other women beside her giggled."Lo facevo Durante il Mio tempo." The other woman replied. (I used to do that during my time." Ricardo broke off the kiss and they both stared at each other for some seconds, Lucia could feel the tension between the both of them, the looks in Ricardo's eyes seemed familiar, scary, and at the same time confusing. She couldn't read any emotions from his plain expression.Ricardo moved backward a bit and Lucia turned her face away. She didn't feel angry at him for kissing her, instead, she was calmer and more relaxed. She found herself wanting more and wishing he could continue. Lucia felt her heart skip throughout the kiss and couldn't breathe. She felt a bit suffocated until he finally spoke."Lucia, I.." "This n
Lucia rushed to change her dress into something less exposing since she loved clothes that exposed most parts of her body.She wanted to look presentable in front of Mila's aunt, so she won't judge her by her dress.With that, Lucia wore a pair of bell jeans trousers, when it was time for her to wear a top. She realized she only had crop tops. The rest were skimpy gowns that were very exposing. Lucia sank to the bed. She then regrets not listening when Milla always told her she would be caught up in such a situation one day. She didn't have a choice but to grab anything and just wear it. But when Lucia finished dressing, it occurred to her that Changing the dress wouldn't be a problem for her, she is a fashionista and should know how to solve her fashion problems. Lucia hurriedly took out her phone and opened her graph app. She slides out a mini pen, made for mobile phones only and she started drawing. Lucia smiled in satisfaction after she finished drawing, she checked the time. Fort
Lucia is giving you a hard time, isn't it obvious that anything which comes from your unlucky dead wife is not worth killing yourself over for."Suddenly, she heard a loud sound of a gunshot. It didn't end there, the mirror in front of her continued making shattering sounds as it was broken and falls to the floor bits by bits. Claudia was shocked, it was unexpected. She didn't know if the gunshot was meant for her, or if Roberto made it as a warning and purposely shot the mirror. her face suddenly turned pale white in fear.Mr. Roberto tucked the shotgun back into his pockets."Roberto, what is the meaning of that? Do you plan to kill me?." Managing to find her voice to speak, she asked fearfully. The room was soundproof, so only they could hear the gunshot or the mirror sound. "I missed this time, but I promise. the next one would hit you if you don't stop talking nonsense." Claudia turned to stare at the broken mirror, she barely saw her reflection in the broken pieces still on t
When Lucia entered the mansion of Mrs. Paulo, she was wowed. Although Roberto's Mansion is two times bigger, she was still surprised the divorced woman had such a big house. They reached the living room."Sit and make yourself comfortable. What should I offer you?". Mrs. Paulo said politely."Thank you, ma'am, I'm fine.""Call me aunty or Graciela." She suggested."Okay, Auntie Graciela.".Graciela thought Lucia was extra since she decided to call her both at once."Rest a bit then I'll show you to your room." She said and went upstairs.Soon, she came down to meet Lucia. She was changed to another beautiful dress which looked more comfortable."Aunty, is there no one else in the house?." She summoned the courage to ask although she felt it was a bit awkward if she did."Well, who do you expect a divorced woman to live with? my boyfriend." Lucia almost choked on nothing when she heard that."Sorry, I didn't mean that aunty." She apologized slowly."I'm just kidding." She said and pa
Lucia entered the room accompanied by Graciela, She didn't expect the room to be as big as hers back at the mansion. It almost seemed like Graciela took her to the Master's bedroom."Do you like it?. It's my old room though." "Like? I love it, auntie." Lucia replied and instantly went towards the bed."The room is beautiful." She exclaimed."I'm glad you liked it. Although it's in a bit of a mess. I don't have any maid to Tidy it up. Tomorrow we'll do that together.""Thank you so much, you don't have to worry about that, I can clean the room myself. It's no big deal." Lucia said."Are you sure you can do it? the room is pretty big and it'll be a lot of work for you.""I can do it. I love cleaning." Lucia lied. She didn't do house chores and it was going to be hard for her. She just didn't want Graciela to stress herself since she's helped her to this extent."You can sleep here tonight, tomorrow we can go pick up your luggage together. what do you think?." Graciela was trying her be
