Chapter Seven
Luca's POV.
Five fucking years! I still couldn't get over her. I had to move away from here thinking I would have gotten over my obsession with her, but it was not possible.
I had to pretend all my life that I hated her. I waited for this moment and all I needed was for her to love me back.
I had to make her deal that could put my entire hard work in a big problem just because I didn't want to see her with Miguel anymore, hoping I was going to have a chance with her.
I wasn't sure about having sex with her yet, but I just wanted to know if I could get a chance with her. I didn't want to rush her, since I wanted to take things very slow.
The memories from.thag morning kept on flashing in my head. I had always fantasized about moment like that in the past and it almost happened, but I wanted things to be okay between the both of us first
I think things were going in my favor when I got to discover that she was planning to divorce Miguel. I knew that this was going to happen, knowing fully well that he didn't have any feelings for her at the start.
He just wanted to use her. I wanted to let her know about it, but it seemed like she was really happy whenever she was with him, and there was no way she would belong words from the guy who she always banter.
"What did you want to see her for?" Maddie, who was sitting opposite me, questioned with a smile on her face. I could tell that she was not happy to see me in her house.
Priscilla had almost changed her sitting position just a few minutes after I was in their house. It was a shame she slept with her sister's husband. She was the real definition of a hoe!
"I guess she didn't tell you." I replied to Maddie, who had a confused expression on her face.
"Tell me what? Was there something she was supposed to tell me? You two can't possibly be dating." She answered back while I let out a soft chuckle.
I honestly thought Ria was in some kind of trouble after she told me she was entering her stepmother's room. I tried calling her number, but she wasn't picking up anymore.
"What made you think that way?" I questioned, with a serious expression on her face. What made them think the two of us couldn't be together?
The countenance in the room changed entirely. It looked as if one collected their money.
"Oh please! What made you think that way? Apparently, she is now my personal assistant." I uttered, and I could see the change of expression on their face.
"Are you serious right now? Why do you have to pick her of all people? She is your brother's ex-wife! Don't you think that is insulting to your brother?" Priscilla sprang up to her feet. Why was she so worked up about the news?
I tilted my head to one side, with squinted eyes.
"He isn't my blood brother." I clarified things with her.
"The fact you slept with your..." I couldn't get to complete my sentence before I heard a voice right behind me.
"Who is asking for me?" She sounded so angelic, and I wanted to hear her screaming my name badly with that voice.
Priscilla answered her. Who was she expecting before? I could feel her leaving my back, and we got to maintain eye contact immediately when she came to my front.
She was putting on a casual outfit that was entirely different from the gown she left with this morning. Her hair was tied in a messy bun with glasses on.
How did she manage to get dressed that fast?
"Mr. Luca," her eyes were still in shock, and it looked as if I had a lot of explanations to do.
"We have to go now. Thank you very much." I mentioned to her mom before I stood up. My eyes indicating for her to go outside.
"I will see you later, Maddie." She walked right behind me as we then stepped out of the house.
"What do you think you are doing here? Why do you have to put me in a tough situation like this? What did you tell my mom and my sister?" Ria questioned me, but I didn't plan on replying to her. She almost destroyed all our plans.
"Why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you a question!" She stepped in front of me, refusing to let me enter my car.
Her soft, plump lips caught my attention. I inhaled my breath sharply while I tried so hard not to look at her.
"Don't you ever get that close with me again." I warned her as she quickly left my front.
"I did it because you aren't answering my God damn question! I don't know the kind of trouble you already put me through." She stated, but I just ignored her and entered into the car.
"Get into the car and let's go." I instructed.
"Where are you going to? You can't just come here and tell me you are going somewhere without me having an idea of where you are going to." She fired back at me.
"It seems like you don't longer need this job.".I threatened her. I didn't mean to do that, but that was my only resort.
"What the fuck! I can't believe I am being threatened right now." She cussed out so loud as she then entered into the car, sitting in the passenger's seat.
"You have to believe it."
"You are finally showing your true colors. I knew something was wrong when you were helping me. My hatred for you still remain the same though." She replied me, her hand on her waist.
If only she knew how hard it was for me to hide my feelings. If only she knew how hard it was for me to act this way towards her.
"You are also showing your true colors. I just decided to help you since my brother considers me as his rival. He doesn't love you so I need to help someone who he doesn't love so bad so that will annoy the hell out of him." I explained to her.
"Stop saying shits like this, he loved me at some point in life." She opposed what I had said. Wait, was she still defending him after all what he had done to he?
It hurts me to see how ignorant she was about my brother.
"So did you get caught trying to sneak into their room?" I need to make sure that they were not suspicious about anything. The fact that they knew I might be having her back too.
"I almost got caught if not for your arrival." She replied bluntly; her eyes were fixed on the rad with the aggressive stares. I saw her text, but I didn't know that was what she meant.
I thank goodness that I came really early.
"If Maddie or Priscilla ever lay their hand on you, let me know about it." I changed the entire topic. It must have been so hard staying in the house alone, and I totally understood her point of view when she questioned me about not putting her in trouble.
"I sent you a file; you should go through it." I mentioned to her, as she then removed her phone, which was in her pocket.
"Wait! Are things official already? Am I already your personal assistant?" She questioned, and I could sense the change in her mood already.
"Go through the files first." I instructed her, and she went silent going through her phone.
"Wait! I have to go out with you in the next two days?" She opened her eyes in shock, looking through the schedule I had.
"Yes! It's a party designed for billionaires and millionaires in the city. Miguel is going to be there also." I informed her.
"Wait! What?" Her voice trailed off in shock, and I could feel her gaze on me. There was nothing wrong with what I had just said.
"Why should I have to go there? You just said that he will be there." She questioned. I knew how hard she was going to find it hard to face him whenever she could get to see him.
"That will make me determine how qualified you are for the job." I replied to her.
Chapter Eight.Ria's POV*TWO DAYS AFTER*My eyes were fixed on the emerald green gown that was at my front. I couldn't believe he was so fucking real. The fact that he had to send in the gown I was going to wear too.How the hell did he get to know my size?'Have you tried it on already? What if it doesn't fit you?' There was no way this gown wasn't going to fit me; it looks exactly just like my size."Are you ready? You have one hour left." I read the text message that I had gotten from him. I changed into the dress after I was done with makeup.It looked so good on me. It was a strapless gown that has a floral pattern on the chest that was made with beads. The gown has a slit up to my laps. I never knew my boss had good taste when it comes to dresses.The dress fitted me perfectly too.I look at the other box, which he had delivered to me, and it has a Louboutin in it. "What the actual fuck!" Why would he bother doing all of this? One might think all of these was a test. I wasn't
Chapter Nine.Ria's POV."Hey! What are you doing here?" I could see the mocking expression on his face. My hands were literally starting to shake. I wanted to hold on to something badly, but I didn't want him to know how nervous I was. I remembered how he held my neck so right that night while I pleaded with him. Tears were starting to gather at the corner of my eyes. I knew that I saw him at the court, and this was the exact way I felt after I had seen him.My eyes roamed around the hall, hoping I was going to see Luca.'What are you expecting him to do in that kind of situation?' My inner thoughts questioned. "I came here alongside Luca." I stated, my hand found its way to the wine, which was on the table, while I gulped it all down. That was so fucking strong."Are you scared? You just gulped an entire cup of alcohol." Miguel further stated. All I wanted in this moment was to just vanish into thin air. I could barely breathe with him around me."Scared? Why should I be scared?"
Chapter 10Ria's POV.The car door slid open as I then stepped down from the car angrily. I removed the shoe that he had bought for me as I walked barefoot. It wasn't my fault for walking barefoot, though my foot hurts like hell.It was really dark, and there was barely any sight of human.'Just let down your pride and step into the car right now.' My subconscious mentioned. He slowly drove the car right at my side."I don't want you driving beside me! Just leave me alone and go home. I can figure out my house from here." I stopped walking while I used my shoe to point in the direction that he was supposed to go to.My mouth ended up doing the opposite of what my brain was saying. He then pulled up right at my side. He stepped down from the car and walked right to my front.The expression on his face was way better than the time I saw him entering the car the other time. We were both standing at the side of the road; the cool breeze was hitting my arm, and I must say that I was start
Chapter 11Luca's POV.Seeing Miguel touching her that way last night made me lose my temper. My emotions were something I could control. Except from moving on from someone like Ria.My love for her was something that I couldn't get to control. I allowed my temper to take over me last night, not caring about my reputation too, which was really dangerous.What happened last night might make me lose a lot of future potential partners. I really didn't mind, though; a lot of people want me as their partner too.That was the first time that I was saying, Bro, lay my hands on my brother, and I bet he must have still been in shock by now. "You are so pretty, but the words you said last night were pretty painful." I muttered, staring at Ria, who was lying on the bed at my front.The fact she had to remind me about how lonely I was. She didn't have to do that! It was just surprising that that was what she had been thinking all along, and she just had the mjs to tell me about it yesterday.I s
Chapter 12Priscilla's POV 18+ "Where are you rushing to, love?" I felt his hot breath on my skin as he stood behind me. Did he not ever get tired of all of these? This was the second round we will be going for this morning.We didn't get to sleep together after the party last night, but I was glad he was able to do that now.He carried me on his shoulder as he made his way back to the bed. He spanked my ass. I let out a soft chuckle seeing how his expression were filled with lust." Ouch!!!" This sound came out of my mouth every time he hit my ass. When he got to the bed, he threw me on it. I landed on the bed on my back. I was enjoying it. Hudson didn't treat me like this, I swear. The bed was already wet due to the water that was still on our body.Miguel put his hand on his chin as he admired my well-shaped ass that was red now from all his spanking."Now that's beautiful," he said to himself."What are you waiting for?" I dared him with my sentence." Ohhh! You are going to be
Chapter 13*THE NEXT DAY*Ria's POV This was going to be the second time that I would be entering the company, and my first day of work. I clenched my bag tightly to my arm while I took the elevator to the last floor.Not a lot of people were currently present since I came a little bit earlier than expected.I wanted to make sure that today was without flaws and everything was going to go well just as I had imagined. I didn't want to make any mistakes, and I wanted to prove to him that I could do this work well.I entered his office, and he was yet to be back, which was a great thing. Coming to work early before he did was such a good idea. I didn't know if I was going to have an office of my own or if I was just going to be staying in the same room as him.I walked to the end of the office while I watched the great view of the city. I couldn't get a clear look at it the first time that I came here. I wondered how this place must have looked at night.I then sat in his chair and let
Chapter 14Ria's POV.I bet it has been more than six hours since I have been here, and the meeting must have been over already. There was no source of ventilation, and the room was dark, but not really dark.I slept here, and I woke up already, but no one has opened the storage room. The meeting must have been over, and no one even bothered to search for me. How was he going to get to lay his hands on the files that he told me he was going to use in the meeting? I wasn't with my phone, which I could use to make a call. I was really getting tired already, and I wanted to come out of this place badly."Please, please. Someone should help me! I am stuck in here." My hand banged the door again, and I have been banging it for the past few hours. My hands were getting really red already, and it was painful.It has bruises on them due to the fact that I had been banging the door for the past few hours. "Is anyone there? Someone should help me, please." I kept on hitting the door, but th
Chapter 15.Ria's POV.My eyes opened slowly, the sun rays hitting my eyes due to the sound of the alarm. I stretched my body, and suddenly I got a cramp in my leg."Ah shit!" I managed to spring up to my feet due to the pain. It was as painful as fuck.Memories from last night flashed in my head; I remembered falling at the edge of the elevator. How the hell did I get to the house? I remembered waking up in a car, but I couldn't remember the person who was driving. That person must have been the one who brought me home. Fuck! How the hell did I tell Luca I wanted to resign? I wasn't in my right mind when I said those words. I remembered how I almost slept with him because of how much I needed that job and his help.I brought out my phone, and I was really late today. Should I just skip work today? I tried typing with my phone, and I felt a sudden pain in my knuckles.I stormed out of my room, remembering I was living with the person who did this to me yesterday. My hand formed a fi
EPILOGUE IIRia happily served her kids a slice each of the chocolate cake she had learned to bake for their sakes and watched as they enjoyed it.“Don’t rush the cake, you’ll stain your dress,” she said as she stretched her hand to wipe the side of Aurora and Atlas’s mouths with a napkin.“It’s so delicious, Mom. Will you make us another after Granny’s birthday party?” Aurora said in between mouthfuls as she swung her legs underneath the table. Ria nodded and was just about to give a reply when she saw her husband emerge from the doorway.He looked so smart in his suit, and she just wanted to eat him up as he said, “There’ll be lots of cake there, so why don’t you let your mom rest a little?” He winked at her, waving his undone tie at her, but the children noticed his presence before she could walk up to him.“Daddy!” Aurora was the first to notice as she hopped off her stool and ran up to hug him. With a smile, he crouched to wrap his arms around her as Atlas ran into his embrace as
EPILOGUE IFive Years LaterLuca tiptoed into the master’s bedroom and shut the door quietly behind him as he peeked around for any sight of his wife.“Ria,” he called gently as his eyes scanned the room until they finally settled on her standing in front of the dressing mirror.His mouth ran dry as he saw the way the dress shimmered under the lights and how it hugged her delicate curves. He hated the fact that there would be a lot of people who would get to see her in that dress tonight.She was checking herself out in preparation for the party they would be attending that evening.The moment she turned around and did a swirl, he knew he needed to have a taste of her before they left, or else he’d be restless throughout the night.His heart was racing as he approached her from behind, and it felt like he was falling in love with her all over again.“I feel like the luckiest man in the world,” he said as he held her waist, and they both stared into the mirror.“Luca.” She turned and g
Chapter 140 (FINALE)Chapter 75Jade's POV.I have waited long enough for this day. I wasn't just going to be called off that way. My father helped with the case that was filed against me.If I don't get to do the right thing now, they might keep on filing cases against me and that was why I needed to do this The fact that I was going to get to kill Ria today would be the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I have always wished for the day that I wouldn't get to see her anymore.Finn promised that he was going to help me get what I wanted, which I was really happy about. Having someone to threaten was really a good thing in life. Now, he was even willingly to help me do things.I heard the news that she was going to get married to Luca. I wouldn't let that happen again while I was still alive. "Luca would come and save me." She said it with so much confidence, which made me chuckle. She was really confident this night and with the look of things, she might have a few things
Chapter 139Chapter 74*Two Weeks After*Ria's POV.My bridal shower was finally going to happen this night. I would be getting married tomorrow!We have been making preparations for this for the past month! Jade would be getting married in the next two weeks, which was really cool! I was so happy that our marriage was really close.I wished we could get to do it the same day.I waited for her to come over for my bridal shower. Everywhere was well lit up, and it was really beautiful.We were using the longue, which was in Luca's house. Luca left the house for us to enjoy, and I bet he must be with Liam right now. He barely had any friends, and probably with my dad told.I heard the doorbell ring as I rushed towards the door immediately. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here. I opened the door slowly, which revealed Zoa.I hugged her very tightly before I left her.It's funny how the bridal shower was only going to involve the both of us, probably alongside with my mom and
Chapter 138Liam's POV.Falling for Zoa was something that I never imagined was going to happen. I watched she as she kept on ranting but u couldn't listen to a single word she was saying.My gaze wre focused on her naked belly since she was putting on a crop top. I wanted to place my head in between those chubby legs. The effect she had on me these days was really one of a kind.I was sitting in the chair in my room, and yeah we have been living together ever since he father died. I never knew she had this side of her. It was so cute to see her rambling this way."Are you even listening to what I was saying." She interrupted my thoughts making me almost flinch. She used the clothes that were in her hands to hit my head, as she accidentally trip falling in my legs.Her hands were on my dick right now, and I bet she could feel how hard they were! Fuck what the hell was happening."It's so hard to resist you." I let out my confession. "I've been meaning to tell you this these days, but
Chapter 137Ria's POV*THE NEXT MORNING*"We spent the entire night together, but you are just telling me about the fact that you recovered your memory. Can you see how heartless you are?" I scolded Luca as we were on our way to the company.We were fucking together throughout last night, and the reason he had disappeared and made me worried for two days was because he wanted to surprise him.He told me that he was going to get the investors back, and I kept on asking him how he was going to do that, only for him to let me know now that he had recovered his memories already."What procedure did you use in getting them back? I think you are suffering from the side effects." I mentioned it to him, as he chuckled slightly again. There was nothing funny in what I had just said.If only he knew how worried I was, only for him to be hiding somewhere even when his company almost lost all its value."I am really sorry, and I will repay you in any way that I can." He promised me."Thank God yo
Chapter 136Ria's POV*THREE DAYS AFTER*"I don't have anything to do with your husband; you should go and look for him. Who knows? He might have lost interest in you since he lost his memories." There was no way Luca was going to leave me."I swear, if anything happens to him, I am going to make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life." I mentioned to Jade as I ended the call right immediately after.I wasn't really sure if she was the one responsible for him going missing. I was hesitant to report it to the police, hoping that he was going to come home, but right now I think it is the right time for me to let the police know about everything.I was about to walk up the stairs, not until I heard the sound of the bell ringing. I walked up to the door and saw a man standing there."Uhm, you ordered this." He stretched the box towards me."I think you got the wrong address. I didn't order anything." I said in defence. I have seen a lot of tricks like these being used these day
Chapter 135Luca's POVI wanted to know a lot of things about myself. Yeah, I might be performing well even with my memory loss, but it felt like I was empty. It really feels like there was something missing in me.I have been going to therapy secretly without Ria knowing, and I decided to go for one today since she went for her friend's daughter's funeral. I thought it was going to be a very perfect opportunity for me to go."Can you just come up with a fast technique? I need to recover my memory as fast as possible." I urged the doctor."You told me that you do see a few blurry images in your dream, and that means you are close to achieving it." She mentioned."Let's go for the option you mentioned the other day.""No way, I am not going to let you go through all that after the progress that you made already." She opposed, just like I was expecting her to."Exactly! This is my business, and you told me the consequences, but I needed to recover my memories as fast as I could. What if
Chapter 134Ria's POVJade was standing next to her huge black car, while Finn was at my front."I don't want to have anything to do with you again." Finn mentioned to me, unable to look me in my eyes."What? Did you threaten him again? Are you scared of her? Are you scared of what she might do to you?" I questioned him while I scoffed."It is none of your business. You can call the police to arrest me and then bring me in for questioning. You can tell them anything they want, but we don't have any business together." He mentioned setting the boundary between the both of us.A scoff appeared on my lips while I tried to connect the dots as usual.He was so damn serious."What the hell does she have on you exactly that you keep on acting this way?" I whispered, moving closer to him. "You see Zoa over there." I pointed at Zoa, who was sitting on a pavement with Liam next to her. Her hair was so messy, her eyes were really swollen, and she looked like a mess right now. "She made her that
