Leilani inhaled deeply the scent of Lavender that filled the entire room as she strolled in fully.Martha had escorted her to this room after Nicholas had helped Lorenzo to another room.The woman had left after she had told her to settle in her room and that her luggage would be brought in a jiffy.At first, Martha had queried Lorenzo, throwing him a dead glare, asking why he and his wife would use separate bedrooms.“God, we’re newlyweds, Martha. Stop poking your nose,” he groaned.“Which is one of the reasons you should be sharing a room. You are newlyweds!”Leilani knew so well that if it was another person, he would not have taken the question as a joke. No, maybe no one else would even have dared to ask him such a question.They were on a first-name basis too, so it explained that they were really close.She settled on the bed, laid her back, and then breathed out in relief.The room was scenting nice, the sheets were clean, everything was in place and she felt the need to fres
“You look like you have a lot of things to say,” he snapped her out of her thoughts and she shook her head.“No, not really. Just… how about the couple? Ella and…”“John?”“Yeah, John. Are they truly dating?”“Yes.”“And they work here?” She asked, a fleeting glance of critique appearing on her face.“They are good people.”“I never said otherwise,” she defended and he nodded his head in sarcasm.“Your face says otherwise though.”“Come on. It is just that… look at them. They both have tattoos. Both of them. The man has all over his arms and the woman too. I just… I am just thinking how they get to work with you.”“They are good people, and that is all there is to it, trust me. If they were not, you would never meet them here.”She nodded her head, agreeing with him, and then rubbed her palm against her thighs.“You should freshen up. Martha made dinner already, so let’s go eat.”“Hold on, will you keep doing this in front of her too? You two are close and I think it would be hard hid
Leilani, deep down, doubted if she would ever be able to grant the man’s favor.Not only was he even wrong about Lorenzo liking her so much or anything, but she knew she could never do so.He wouldn’t even open up to her. Till now, he had never told her the true reason why he decided to fake his disability and stay with his father.All he said was it was necessary and he was always careful to not go beyond that.Although the man was open to her. No, he made it seem that way.He would tell her to ask him anything and that he would answer but whenever she did, he would answer her in a very curt way.He was hiding more than he was letting her on, and she knew.He was tight-lipped, and would never say more than he was supposed to.For a person who knew literally everything about her, she knew nothing about him.And realizing that this man might forever remain mysterious to her, she breathed out, glanced at him as he had buried his head back in his phone, and then crossed her legs togethe
“What?” she widened her eyes and turned back swiftly to look at him.The man dipped his hand in his pocket, scanned her face for a while, and then chuckled.“What?” She forced a frown.“You acting surprised as if you do not want this.”“How?”“I know you don’t wanna be alone,” he said.She pouted, moaned gently, and then sniffed.“And your eyes have been screaming in different languages that I call you back.”“What?” She laughed unconsciously.“Will you sleep in my room?” He asked again.“Uhm…” she swallowed and picked on her fingers gently.“It is not like I can’t be alone, okay? I just…”“Will you stay in your room then?” He cut her short.“Hey!” She snapped and he laughed.“What?”“I mean… I was still talking.”“My bad. Go on.”“It is not like I don’t wanna stay alone… I just… I mean… I don’t wanna discomfort you though.”“I am not complaining.”She moved over to him, leaving just a few inches between them, and then said, her hands clutched to her chest. “You should have a couch in
Leilani squinted her eyes open gently, and when she realized the sleeping position she was in, she gasped and tried to pull away, but was unable to.Her head was placed gently on his chest and her hand was resting on his neck that she worried he might choke. But both of his hands were gently wrapped around her back that she felt so much at peace. She could feel his hot breath settling on her scalp and when he exhaled deeply, his throat reverberated.She bored her eyes into the man who was still sleeping soundly and then finally released the breath she didn’t know she was holding.This man was so unreal. His facial features, his handsomeness, including his body which was like a rock that she was resting on. Everything about him was so unreal that she could not help but wonder how a person could be so perfect.She glanced at his long lashes, and then his full, symmetrical lips.“Uhm…” The man cleared his throat and then stirred gently, still holding her safely in his arms, so she hurri
“I think my wife is dressing up for the whole of Los Angeles,” Lorenzo breathed out, leaned in his chair comfortably, and then shook his head.“It’s a woman’s thing. She will be out soon,”. Martha chucked.“Martha, she has gone up there to dress up since eleven.”“This is barely twelve, Enzo. You are complaining too much.”“Of course, you would take her side,” he rolled his eyes and then picked up his phone again.Finally, he heard the steps from the stairs and he raised his head hurriedly.The woman smiled softly as she descended the stairs and he tilted his head to watch her properly.She was wearing a wine two piece which top was turtleneck and sleeveless and he loved exactly how she looked.She carried a silver bag and then wore a low-heeled shoe to match, she had not gotten to where he was already, but he could perceive her cologne.“Did I keep you waiting?” She breathed out and then hurried over to him.“You should not run on the stairs,” he grunted.“I thought you would be angr
“Are you sure you don’t want me in here with you?” He asked her carefully and she shook her head.They were already at the hospital, in the doctor's office when he asked her.Leilani had pleaded that he excused them while the doctor attended to her alone.“Yes, please,” she answered, her eyes pleading with him.She knew he could suddenly decide to be stubborn by insisting on waiting with her.“I think it would be better to attend to her alone also. It would help to assess her situation carefully, sir.”He stared at the woman for a while and then turned to look at Leilani. “Alright then, I will be with Nicholas while you are here, so if you need me, just place a call through, okay?”“Sure.”He looked at the doctor again, nodded his head at her, and then wheeled out of the office.After standing in front of the door for a while, he turned around and then made his way to the elevator.___“You really came!” Nicholas exclaimed as soon as the man wheeled in.“Why are you surprised?”“Beca
“I bet that woman thinks she is married to the most gentlest, and reserved man the country has ever known.”“You talk as though I am not,” Lorenzo snapped his brows together.“Because you are not! I am your best friend and yet, I still find you mysterious and unpredictable sometimes!”“How so?”“Are you really asking me? I had assumed that you would handle Jonathan and his family first, but you are starting from her bullies from when she was still a teen?”“Listen, my friend,” Lorenzo leaned forward.“Jonathan and his family will be receiving the same dose just as my family, because there is really not much difference between them. And do you wanna know what is more fun?”“What?”“The fact that Jonathan works for me. He works at one of my companies, do you know?”“Yeah, BENZO. I know.”“Exactly. He doesn’t even know that I own the company he would die for… and at the same time, he has started to embezzle some funds.”“What?!” Nicholas widened his eyes.“He is embezzling funds?!”“Yes.
“NO WAY YOU AND MY BROTHER STAY IN SEPARATE ROOMS!”Mia hollered the moment she entered the room fully with Leilani.Leilani rolled her eyes, walked past the woman, and then dropped her phone on the bed.“Don’t be dramatic.”“Why do you have separate rooms?”“We sleep together though,” she answered and that was not a lie, right?“Oh, but you have your room separately too?”“Yes.”“Is that not weird?”“Do you wanna help me pick up my dress or evaluate my marital life?” She rolled her eyes.“Come on, I was just curious.”After Mia had arrived about thirty minutes earlier, together with Martha, they had taken a tour around the house, showing Leilani especially everywhere around the house.Afterward, she suggested that they go out.“Let’s find a better dress, please. You look too much like a married woman in that two-piece,” Mia had rolled her eyes and then forced her to take her to her room.Leilani had glanced at her husband who sat in the living room, like she was asking him for his pe
