"I could have you for breakfast…"The words left his mouth before he could stop it. How on earth does a full-grown woman putting on a thigh-length t-shirt which had two buttons loosened, thereby exposing a perfect pale skin of cleavage and perfectly luscious lips… could ever be someone's breakfast? Or could she? He wasn't a pervert, that's what he kept telling himself as his eyes scanned the temptation before him. She was a fucking ticking bomb as his eyes never left her body. He saw her.He saw how the water dripped from her hair to her shoulders. She had the towel on her head, she looked away and kept on rubbing it to make it dry while her lips were being caressed by her tongue.Vincenzo had his eyes on her. He had no idea that his shirt could look so sexy and hot. He never imagined that’s how she would look when she had it on. He couldn’t help but notice how pretty she looked, the water enhanced her look and made her more beautiful than she naturally was. He saw how pretty and
Ariana was dumbstruck at his behavior. She believed they were not that close for him to be so benevolent toward her. Besides, she doesn't want any strings attached to their contract.Her gaze swept through the packages around the room. Why would her boss buy her clothes just because hers was wet?She had made up her mind not to be emotionally or financially linked to Vincenzo more than she was already indebted. All she needed from him was his connection to deal with Rex. Ariana still had the seven million dollar debt she had to pay him and now he was buying her expensive clothes to put on. No, she wasn't going to accept it and she was going to do what she came to do here.The contract signing, so her revenge could begin.But then she thought that refusing him could make him angry. Not that she cared for him, she just doesn't want anything ruining the contract. So, Ariana went toward one of the bags.She was going to chose just one to put on. The rest could be sent back to the shop. S
Staring at the man almost choking on his wine, Ariana knew her words were a little too straightforward. She was desperate, that was the exact feeling eating her up. Rex was molding her into what she never believed she could be."Will you marry me tomorrow, Vincenzo Alberto?" Ariana repeated, clenching her teeth. She was being shameless but it was the key to her revenge.She wasn't marrying him because of love. She was going to marry him because of her eagerness to make things rough! She was also surprised at herself for suggesting they get married the next day but she didn't regret it. Ariana wanted the revenge done as soon as possible. Those people were like leeches to her, sucking every inch of her blood leaving her piping with indescribable anger."Why the sudden change?" Vincenzo brought her back to reality.If there was one certain thing about this lady before him, that would be the fact that she was in a traumatic state according to Martins. If she was, could her eagerness to g
Walking right back to where she was, Vincenzo decided to ignore Ariana's stubbornness and start making arrangements for the emergency wedding. As much as it was a contract, he wouldn't want to let her regret anything.He was willing to make today her dream wedding even if he wasn't the dream man she wanted. He knew she won't easily forget the man she hated but he could be the man for her just for today.He brought out his phone to place another call. He talked for a while before placing another call to Martin. "I hope all the arrangements have been taken care of?"" Vince, I am a doctor not your personal assistant! How do you expect me to come running to you from my precious laboratory just to cater to your personal issues that was supposed to be handled by your personal assistant?" Martin ranted over the phone." Then you wouldn't mind sponsoring your precious lab by yourself, do you?" Vincenzo asked, calmly." I have already made all the arrangements to give you and your emergency
"Let go of me, you are hurting me!" Arianna screamed, her fingers wrapped against his cold grip as she tried to free her hands off. Vincenzo didn't give her time to think straight as he continued pulling her forcefully, then pulled her to the wall. His right held her two hands up as his left hand trailed along her jawline."What are you doing? Let go of me right now." She said firecely and he smirked evily."How many times will you repeat that words, Ariana?" He asked, his cold and void of any emotion.A deep frown crossed her petite face and she leaned forward, her face just an inch away from him."As much as I can and not until you tell me a good reason why you dragged me out from the kitchen like that? It's not like I bothered you or anything," She said, stubbornly.He smiled and then curled her hair with his jaw clenched tightly. He wished he could drag her to the bed right now and punish her so much that her mouth would no longer run stubbornly.It would only scream his name all
A buzzing sound reverberated around the pink looking room. There was a groan and series of grunts coming from the person on the bed. Like a disturbance, Shirley hit her hand repeatedly on the bed. "Hum?... Who's calling by this time of the hour? Don't you sleep?" She groaned, eyes still closed as her left hand stretched out from the blanket searching for the buzzing phone.She wanted to rest as it was her day off. Besides, she truly needed her beauty sleep after all the ruckus with Ariana. "Where's it?" Shirley groaned, as her hand tapped around and then she held the phone and dragged it towards her. Without checking the ID number, she picked the call.Still a little angry at being disturbed or rather deprived of her beauty sleep at 12pm!"Hello?" She asked, yawning. She turned to her left and turned on the bedroom lamp. Her eyes glanced at the clock and she saw that it was past 12pm already.What the fuck! Did she actually sleep all through the morning?"Miss Shirley, I am sendin
"Oh my god! What the hell!" She said, holding her beating heart. A bright headway light had took a turn from the opposite direction, heading towards her. She had watched as it made way towards her but was too flustered about Ariana to think it could be the car that came to pick her up. She simply brushed it off as she was still deep in thoughts.And just when she was about to make her way back home, the fucking car honk so loudly that her heart almost left her chest. Funny how it was the exact time Vincenzo said. Did he have a tracker in the car? Shirley turned to the sound still mumbling. At that moment, her phone buzzed. She picked it, and placed it slowly on her ear as she stared at the car nervously."Your ride is there. Do not waste time," He said coldly then hung up the call.Rude! That's what she wanted to say but then she rolled her eyes and somehow she began to pity her friend. How could Ariana live with such a iceberg? Although Vincenzo was very nice, it was still pitiful
"What!?" Shirley gasped in surprise, brimming with anger. Arianna covered her mouth immediately with a worried look written all over face as she looked around. As much as she hated the deal, she wanted nothing more than her vengeance. "Do not scream like that," She sighed, taking her hands off. She doesn't want Shirley spoiling the deal. Vincenzo wasn't the one to be trifled with. What if he thinks she didn't want the deal? Shirley stared at her, eyes widened as saucer,"You expect me to keep calm over such an issue? Why do you have to sign it when you do even know him that much?"" Do I need to know him? All I want is to deal with that son of a bitch and his vixen. I want to make them pay, Shirley"" Even at the detriment of your future happiness?" Shirley asked, surprised. " The last time I was happy was before the accident. I lost my happiness the day he let my child and my love for him die. Shirley, I hate him"Shirley was shocked at how cruel Ariana looked at the last stateme
"What are you talking about?" Vincenzo asked after a long silent contest between him and Ariana."The men who attacked are behind bars," She sighed heavily then leaned against the chair. Her hands went to her belly, rubbing it with a soft smile on her face."My heart sank when I heard the news about you being in the hospital, my love."Ariana muttered, her hands were still rubbing her tummy but one could see the sadness in her eyes."Come here," Vincenzo said with a worried look on his face. He won't forgive himself if anything happened to her.And the last thing he wanted at this moment was for her to be sad.Ariana glanced at him then stood up from the chair she sat on. She slowly walked towards him and sat on the bed."Look here, Ariana. There's nothing for you to be sad about. I love you and that's the one thing you should know." He cupped his hands around her cheeks.Ariana stared into his eyes for a while then nodded."I'll stay strong," She smiled. She held his hands for a while
The man from before stepped out from the prison with a calm look on his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number."Hello boss," the speaker said from the other side of the call. There were noises from the background but the man knew exactly what was going on. He looked around and whispered a few words to the phone."Get the car ready and make sure you monitor them very well. The man has already asked us to unleash the plan so we must clear this case tonight and leave no trace behind, you get that?" He asked slowly, still looking around. The responder replied with an affirmation and the man nodded and ended the call."Let's see how you're going to escape from this. You're going to die tonight and I will make sure I leave no traces behind. This job caused me a lot and it's a risk to my life," He muttered then left the place.The man stepped inside his car and drove out of the place towards the bustling city. A few minutes later he packed his car in front of Vincenzo's mansion."
Hours passed by in a flash and the sound of people whispering drifted into Rex's ears. He tried to open his eyes but it seems like his muscles weren't ready to answer him.He struggled for a while but when he saw that it was pointless he laid on the bed and listened to what they were saying."Just take a look at how broken his fingers are, not even surgery can repair them. It is so unfortunate that he has to end up with those people. It seems they haven't stopped their endless and stupid traditions. Oh! I feel for him," A male sighed heavily and from the look of it. It seems he was in the prison hospital.'Was I taken here by them?' Rex thought."Come on, stop it already, look at the way you are speaking?! It's not like the one sleeping on the bed is innocent too! They are all criminals!" The white haired man yelled angrily."They committed a crime! They went against the rules and regulations of the country and so they must be punished by the law! So it is better you keep your mout
Rex sat in the far corner of the cell monitoring the other mates who were shooting glares at him. His mind was filled with thoughts. "It has been a day or two since I got trapped in this cell, while Ariana is out there with that fool," Rex clenched his hands tightly as waves of emotions overwhelmed him. "As long as my plans work out, I will never regret being in this place" He thought while still watching them. One of the burly men in the cell pointed at him and the duos behind him nodded.'I can sense trouble,' His eyes narrowed slightly as the huge man in the middle stood up and walked towards him with a cold and sinister look on his face."Newbie, isn't it about time you pay your respect to the elders in this place? I gave you two good days to come to your senses. Haven't I been generous enough?" He smirked. Rex calmly stared at him for a while then at the men behind him. He kept quiet and focused on the plan he had in mind."Hey you!" The man yelled angrily."You punk! Aren't
Vincenzo looked around his office, he didn't want to be here today, he knew that well, he would rather be at home with his beautiful wife and unborn child.But he also needed to work and sort things out and leave the house because he despised the idea of lying to Ariana.She didn't approve of him getting to the root of the matter, she was chill 'It's out there already' she said, justifying her nonchalant attitude toward the whole issue.He is like that she was not worried he would hate that, with her condition she need not worry. He had read that somewhere.As much as he wanted to let go of the issue, he also wanted to find out where the press had gotten the information, it couldn't have just been out there. He knew how much he had guarded this secret.Finding the truth was not going to be easy. He knew this, these journalists and media people can be very uptight, and getting answers from them would be extremely hard.But he was a determined man and was set to do anything within his po
In between all the chaos of trying to clear the air about the news that came out, Vincenzo also started to get calls from investors in his company saying they wanted to pull out.Everything was crumbling right in front of him.He could afford the investors pulling out at this moment. He had just invested all the company's money, including the ones the investors wanted to pull out. So whatever happened would have to come from him.He'd go bankrupt if that happened.He called the investigator he hired to find out the root of everything. He prayed to God that if it was Rex, he'd make him suffer for a long time.Ariana was the only one doing everything for him at that moment because everyone he had given tasks had turned up with bad news.She requested that she go in to head the meeting with the investors in hopes that she'd stop them from pulling out of the company. After all when they have their child, it would be his property, and she couldn't afford that slipping from him.After the
Rex felt bad that Ariana's feelings were hurt in the process, his plan had only been to hurt Vincenzo.But it was inevitable actually, Ariana had made him admit instead of taking things the way they were she had sought closure and hurt herself in the process.He knew Vincenzo would come for him once he knew the truth, he loved Ariana too much to not have any Justice for what he did, and he was well-prepared for anything.Being well aware of the influence Vincenzo had, Rex knew he couldn't do it alone, he required help, some sort of backup, someone to be there for him if things went South.He found a perfect partner in Marcus, their hate for Vincenzo had brought them together, and they intended to take him out of the way, certainly.When Rex heard the sirens just outside his house, he wasn't scared, he had backup, and he knew he wouldn't stay there for long.***“Trending on many social media platforms now is the contract paper that seems to belong to Mr. Vincenzo and his wife.”“The c
Ariana got up without a word and walked out of the house without looking back, she got what she wanted and her mission was done.She took off her heels immediately, she slammed the door behind her. Holding the tears back until she got into the waiting cab.“Go,” she said as she stepped in, slamming the door and making the driver jolt in his seat before turning to look at her.“I'm sorry” she apologized as she caught a glimpse of the look on his face.Without another word, he drove out of the premises.She let the tears flow, Rex had abused her. He probably didn't realize it, but he did, taking off her clothes and taking those illicit photos of her.Safe to say, he was and still is sickly obsessed with her. If he truly loved her, why did he chose Vera over her? Why did he hurt her or was she meant to be hurt by all the men she loves?Was it her fate? She looked out the window, watching as the street went by as they drove with her mind reeling with different thoughts. Wondering what V
Vincenzo woke up a happy man. Every day was good for him as long as he had her with him. Everything in the world seemed okay.The sky was sunny, the birds were chirping, and all was right.He got up from bed, but not without kissing her on her forehead and her protruding stomach.He was careful not to wake her up.Furthermore, he felt she needed more rest. Likewise, he wanted to avoid anything that would cause any complications to arise.He got up, showered, got dressed in a particular suit he had chosen for that day, and dashed on her perfume. He wanted to be reminded of her all day long.He went to check on her before he left, in case she had already woken up.Panic coarse through him as he didn't find her on the bed. He felt his heart starting to race.He calmed down when he called out her name, and he heard her voice from the bathroom. “Is everything alright?” She asked as she stepped out of the bathroom, confused as to why he looked so worried.“Everything's wonderful, darling"
