View MoreRia's POV It had been two weeks now since I started living with Luca and I must confess, it wasn't a bad decision after all. Unlike before when we were always at loggerheads, that wasn't the case anymore as I had understood him fully now. The anonymous person that kept trying to get my attention was not relentless and even though I managed to ignore him, in my leisure time, I was tempted to visit the address. “I’m heading out, I will be back before midnight.” Luca said from the foot of the stairs. At the moment, I was in the dining room, scrolling through my laptop in front of me. “Yeah!” The moment he banged the door shut, I fell back on my seat and then let out a low sigh which was followed by my beeping phone. Thinking it was the anonymous person, I refused to pick the call but the caller was persistent. In anger, I grabbed my phone off the table only to discover it was Priscilla on the line.Darting my eyes around, I muttered, “What does she want from me?” With my teeth
Chapter 33Ria’s POVNodding to the other end of the pack, I said, “There is a cool spot over there. We should hurry before it gets filled up.” While we made our way there, Luca passed side-talks that made me laugh out loud. Before now, I had always considered him to be cold hearted but it turned out that was the part he had decided to show me. Right from the arcade, his laughter warmed my heart, making me want to spend more time with him. When we got to the foot of the pine tree where I had chosen, my phone beeped in my pockets. Curious to find out the content of the message, I pulled out my phone, “Please excuse me.” I said, eliciting a nod from Luca who was looking around. I know where your mom is! If you want to see her, come to the address I will send in ten minutes. — This was the content of the message. Excited, a smile spread across my lips as I fist pumped the air to show my excitement.“It seems someone just won a lottery.” Luca commented. “No! This is more than a lo
Chapter 32Luca's POVThe look on her face after my response was neutral but I was certain that a million thoughts were swirling through her head. Walking past her, I quickly made my way into the house only to step out a few minutes later to meet her staring into space. “Is there a problem?” My voice must have started her because she had swirled around with knotted brows. “I'm sorry.” I quickly apologized and when she did say anything after this, I cleared my throat to get her attention again, “Come with me, I will show you to your room.” “Yeah!” She nodded, hurrying into the building. After showing her to her room, I took my leave only to find myself standing behind my window, staring at the city which was now covered in darkness with my hands tucked inside my pockets. Though I didn't show, I felt bad that she had used me to get over Miguel. Pushing the thought aside, I allowed my gaze to roam around for a while until I became sleepy and then retired to bed. The next morning,
Chapter 31Ria's POV What I expected from him was a quick response but he didn't say a word, rather, he kept staring at me like I was a piece for auction. “I asked a question.” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper this time around.If only he hadn't left, I doubt if Miguel would be able to create a scene. “Dress up.” He said and immediately, I snapped my head in his direction. “Dress up?” I repeated his words in a question-like manner as I kept staring at him like he was an alien. All I wanted was a response from him but he changed the conversation, asking me to dress up. Glaring at him with my hands across my chest, I didn't say a word to him but my actions were enough to tell him I was defiant. “You should do as I have said instead of acting up.” He smacked his lips as he plopped on the couch, crossing his legs. “Why should I dress up? It's not as if I have anywhere to be at.” I cast the wall clock a quick glance before returning my attention to him. “You have to giv
Chapter 30Ria's POVWith my eyes widened in fright, I kept moving backwards, trying to map out a route of escape but there was none. A drunk Miguel wasn't one I could deal with. Whatever it was that was up his sleeves, he was definitely going to achieve it since I was powerless before him. “Please don't come any closer.” I pushed my hand forward, trying to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me. “I'm not going to hurt you Ria, why do you keep running away from me?” He burped, slowly making his way towards me. With each step he took, I sank deep into the wall. It wouldn't be a surprise if I ended up getting embedded inside the wall. “Please don't come any closer.” I said in a breath but he didn't listen. “I won't hurt you Ria, you have to believe me okay.” He slurred in his speech, making me even more frightened. Shutting my eyes tightly, I pushed my hand into my hair as my heart constricted against my chest. What have I gotten myself into? There is no way I would be able to
Chapter 27Ria’s POVWhen I woke up, I was the only one on the bed and there was no sign of Luca around; it seemed like he wasn't even there in the first place. Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I reached out to my phone on the bed side table hoping to see a message or missed call but there was none. “I don't want to…” I shook off the thought that was making rounds in my head, throwing my feet off the bed. Since I was almost running late for work, I doubled my speed and soon I was done with my morning routine. “You're late!” Luca snarled the moment I stepped into the office, breathing heavily like someone was chasing after me. With a low tone, I muttered, “It's just a minute. The elevator was filled so I had to step out and…” “Aren't you tired of giving excuses everytime? You always have pre-made excuses to give each time you default.” For a moment I couldn't say a word, I kept staring at him with my lips slightly parted as I couldn't believe it was the same man from yest
Chapter 28Ria's POV.I watched as Luca was concentrated on the movie we were going to watch. Everything was just so unbelievable, the fact that he came here just to wish me on my birthday, even with the fact that I have avoided him."Jade is my ex-girlfriend." He said, taking a bite of the chicken that we had ordered. I had always been curious about her; I made research about me, and trust me. I wasn't stalking her, and I wasn't jealous. I wasn't sure if I was jealous, but it just occurred that way."Then are you planning on getting back together with her? Seems she wants you back." I inquired. Why did I want to know? What was my business with their relationship? "No." He replied, and then I heaved a deep sigh. "It seemed like you don't want us to get back together again." He mentioned it, and that must have been because of the way I sighed."Uh? No way. What made you guys break up at first?" My eyes moved away from the movie slowly while I stared into his eyes. He then looked at
Luca’s POV In a few days, it will be Ria's birthday, and yet, we still haven't settled our rift. After giving her a few days off, I think I am starting to regret that decision It wasn't like I was the one who was making things hard here; rather, it was Ria. She keeps avoiding me, and even when I tried to reach out to her via call or text, she wouldn't respond. “What am I going to do now?” I muttered, my head throbbing with different thoughts at the same time. She wouldn't pick up my calls, and even if I opt to pay her a visit, she is going to shut me out. Frustrated, I let out a low sigh, pushing my hand into my hair as I fiddled with my phone, contemplating if I should call her or not. After several minutes of indecisiveness, I decided to call, and to my surprise, she received the call immediately; it went through. “Hey Ria, you’re good?” I asked, leaning forward like we were having a face-to-face conversation. My left finger kept on massaging my palms. “Why did you call?” Her
Luca's POVI watched them from a distance, and I was still trying to figure out what they were talking about. He seemed like he was begging her, looking at his facial expression.My fist tightened as I watched them from afar. She was about to leave him, but not until he touched her arm. Images from the parties flashed through my head, making me realize this was almost what happened at the party.He grabbed her towards him, and he then hugged her so very tight. Seeing the both of them that way made me realize she didn't like the way he touched her. I watched as she tried to make him let her off.I was about to move towards them, but he let go off her hand.'You should stay back! What if she doesn't get to like you because you are always clingy?' my subconscious questioned l.I quickly hid when I noticed that he was leaving her alone. I didn't know what she had said to him, but he looked unhappy. The thought of him wanting her back haunts me.I wasn't sure if she was over him already. I
Chapter OneRia's POVPing, pong!!!'Fuck' I cussed under my breath since I was just about to take a nap and I just got a message. I managed to stretch my hands to the drawer which was at the side of my bed and took my phone."Meet me at the hotel by 7P.M in the evening." I squinted my eyes reading the message I just received from my husband.I thought he had forgotten that today was my birthday. He left home very early this morning, and I didn't get any birthday message from him.I stood up from the bed in hurry since I just had less than one hour got me to prepare for whatever he wanted to do at the hotel. I sat at the front of the mirror while I applied my makeup with the thought of what he had in store for me.My lips were curved into a smile during all these process.
