(Livia)
"Why is he such a show-off...I mean he's not that big of a deal"Sydney spoke with disdain as we watched Luciano talk to a few lecturers. By now all the students were chased off to their various classes. As much as I loved the fact that Luciano was getting along with the crowd which was good for his campaign. I disliked the idea of women swarming around him like bees"Come on, give him a break...and you are voting for him, "I said with a disdainful glare to make my little bestie understand. She didn't have to be on the same page as me to like my boyfriend. The problem with Sydney was that she had a tiny crush on Luciano's second brother Alfredo. However, the hot painter was more into art and extended his gallery to mind about women which made Sydney bitter. Her crush didn't even look at her"And here comes the devil...I can't wait for your birthday" Sydney remarked with an eye roll just as Luciano left the crowd of lecturers and walked up to us. I was even more nervous hoping I looked cute. "Hey, Blondie... Sydney"the man said, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me in his arms. I complied with him. Laughing as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He smelled so delightful. I swore this man melted all my bones in my body with just his touch. His sincere words and everything about him"Hello sir...it's nice to see you," Sydney said in a small friendly voice when Luciano moved away from me. "It's nice to see you too," he said with a slight nod and Sydney smiled which I knew was fake, and shoved Pomie in my arms "See you later"just like that Sydney left us. Luciano scanned me for a while then to the puppy snuggling in my arms so cutely. I knew what he was going to say seeing the distant look plastered on his face. It was obvious he too thought I brought my puppy to school which wasn't it"So you brought her...can't you leave this...I mean her at home" he asked, arching hisbbrows at me questionably as he kept his distance from my puppy. Luciano was allergic to fur. Any fur either that of a cat or dog or artificial fur and Pomie wasn't his favorite thing. They didn't get along no matter what and countless times he had seen how Pomie sneaked in my bag even when we went on dates she followed"Come on you two should learn to share...it's not right to fight ''I scolded them both not to fight. Clearly now Pomie was sleeping but immediately she sensed Luciano even an inch closer to her. She'd react violently. She was aware Luciano didn't like her so much"Exactly so now…" he said and snatched Pomie from me by the tail. The puppy opened its cute little eyes and barked softly"What are you doing... Luciano, come on" I said running after him because he was taking huge strides towards his car. "I think she'll be better off riding in a different car…" he said and tossed the puppy in another car and dragged me towards his car. I wanted to laugh at the jealousy he always felt left whenever my dog was around"You are impossible...how can you be so jealous of a dog huh, "I said laughing when he was strapping in my seat belts and stole a kiss catching me off guard in between laughter. Luciano was such a baby and a jealous freak to think a mere dog "She takes my warmth...I can't afford to lose to her ''he said and this time captured my mouth for a real kiss and like a fool, I complied with him. Savoring every moment as I wrapped my arms around his neck, closing my eyes in pure Bliss. His lips were so soft and tasty. His breath smelled like strawberries guessing he sipped wine somehow because the alcohol numbed my senses as he deepened the kiss even more. I couldn't help but moan as I enjoyed every bit of him. ``Mmm what's for your birthday?" he asked as he sucked on my lips and I did the name. It was impossible to break the kiss when both of us missed each other so much"I missed you...you don't know how happy I am that...you came, "I said, breaking the kiss and he cupped the sides of my face. He promised me he would come for my birthday because he had a huge surprise for me. I had a little idea about what he had for me. I couldn't wait for him to finally propose to me because all I wanted was to be Mrs. Garcia. His one and only wife"I missed you baby...I didn't stop thinking about you...all I wanted was to stop everything and see my beautiful baby especially on her birthday" he mumbled looking straight into my eyes. He was so pure and sincere that I couldn't control my love for him. The desire I saw in his eyes burned every last bit of me"Will you spend the night at my house…"I asked when he left my side and walked around to the other side and settled in the driver's seat. With my parents away and coming back tomorrow, I was hoping he could spend the night at my place. I knew he was a traditional man who didn't like the idea of spending nights with me. But I loved him so much and I wanted to give him everything. To make him happy as he did"I could try...but for now I have a little something for you...an early birthday gift," he said when he started the car. I was caught in awe as I looked at him with utter surprise. "Is it a date...no a small picnic...no...dinner with your family"I kept on guessing what my early birthday would be. He didn't know how excited I was to have him around me. He was so caring that I just wanted to be his wife and stay by his side all the time for eternity"I guess you are gonna love this," he said and kissed me on the lips so passionately before he drove the car away from the school grounds. I couldn't hide my excitement knowing I just left school when classes weren't over. Only Luciano was so powerful to steal me away. Like in a fairytale where a prince rescues his princess on a horse or steals her away from a bad man who wants to marry her by force. He was that hero,I leaned on his shoulder as he drove the car to my surprise. I couldn't wait any longer as I kept on voicing out the plans I had for my birthday. This was great for me knowing I too had the surprise of a lifetime.
I knew the surprise I had for my boyfriend would bring us closer as a family and our love would even be stronger"I love you so much...I can't live without you. it's all I dream about...us together…"I said and wrapped my arms around his arm and moved even closer to him. He was so warm and a good listener. My mom and dad already approved of him and they knew about our relationship and so did his family. I met his family, his mother, his brother and little sister as well as his older sister. They loved me a lot"So we are here darling…" suddenly Luciano said, snapping me back to reality. A smile crept on my face. I nearly jumped out of the car when he held me back and chuckled at my excitement. The car stopped in front of a building. The surrounding was so quiet and lovely that I couldn't wait anymore"Woah woah….settle down princess...don't rush...I'm all yours baby" he said in between laughter and rested his hands on my shoulders to keep me still. He was a man and didn't understand my feelings. The excitement rushed through me causing me to be so restless. I complied and watched as he took out a red cloth"Blindfold...no no baby...I'm not going to live long...I'll have a heart attack" I protested shaking my head in denial because he knew how much blindfolds tensed me up. I got so anxious even more especially when he was involved in it"Stop being such a baby...it's a surprise...no peeking" he warned as he started tying up the blindfold. I stayed still smiling as his long fingers brushed against my neck sending a warm sensation throughout my body as my heart thumped rapidly.(Livia)“Careful baby…one step at a time”Luciano murmured as he guided me to wherever he was taking me. His arm was around my back, holding me firmly while the other was intertwined with my hand. Nothing felt right than being surprised by Luciano. He was nothing but the best boyfriend ever.“A…are we there yet?” the more we walked, the more agitated I was. There were many ways to be happy in this life, but all I needed was him. For two years he had been nothing but the best boyfriend I could ask for. So caring, such a loving gentleman, and he always put me first above all else. I was his pride, my parents already liked him for me because he was a good man.I recalled the first time I met him. It wasn't such a great encounter, I would say was memorable because it was funny. Sydney and I went camping, by then I was in high school. Our school arranged for camp, unfortunately, I was too lazy to attend one; hence we decided to sneak away and ended up running around town having fun. Luci
(Livia)“Smile for the camera… ladies, and gentlemen… I bring you…”.“Quit it, Lalo…stop disturbing us!”“Come on sis…it's your B-day…just smile for the camera, “Lalo said, flashing the camera up to my face. It was irritating having a little brother like him because he was nothing but a pain in the neck.“Just this one…right lady…are you certain that isn't mud?” he continued firing questions to my make-up artist and hairstylist who were busy working on me.“No dear, it's just concealer…” the lady said shyly, showing Lalo the concealer she was using. My little brother clicked a pic and chuckled as he continued taking as many pictures, irritating me even more.“Lalo, why don't you go downstairs and check on mom and dad?” I said instead just to get rid of him. The reason the brat didn't leave me alone was that I spoiled him. He had no respect for me whatsoever for him to be in my room while I did my lady routine.“Found Ignacio and Paula kissing…it was so disturbing I tell you, “Lalo sai
(Livia)It was a beautiful night full of love. From my beloved ones. As I said, my birthday was designed specifically to bring joy and happiness to those around me. Seeing my parents happy was something I loved more than anyone.“She's my daughter…soon to be a lawyer…she's a topper in her class” my dad bragged to Antonia and the other important guests my mom invited. I stood there brushing as my dad and mom went all out in praising me. It was good to see Antonia and my future mother-in-law nodding with a smile, knowing she was proud of me like my parents.“My Luciano is lucky to have her…she's such a sweet girl,” Antonia said, caressing my cheeks and like a fool, I got back tears as she continued showering me with love. If anyone asked me if I was scared to be Garcia's daughter-in-law, then I'd say I wasn't“She's my baby…of course, I raised her right and Luciano is so lucky to have her, “my mom said and pulled me in her arms…it was too much to stand there and hear her say all the n
It was impossible to get away from my friends, no matter how I tried to give them an excuse to go inside and see Luciano. They dragged me back. Already the fireworks were mesmerizing, I was bewitched by the glorious sight of reading my name on the skylines. My friends knew just how to make me cry, and having someone like Sydney was something I cried about every day.“Hey, you don't seem fine?” I asked Sydney, who had just come from answering her phone, which had been ringing non-stop. Sydney looked a little disturbed, or was it just how she got whenever her family called.“Liv…well, actually aunt called and well, “Sydney said a little hesitant. Looking at her expression, which was down. I knew she wanted home. As much as I wanted her to stay and have fun like the rest of us. Her family wasn't so friendly. She lived with her aunt and uncle. And had three mean cousins who didn't like her. They made her life hard and never allowed her to go to social gatherings like parties. They gave he
(Livia)The fire in his eyes scared me greatly. I've never seen Luciano so angry before. His actions frightened me as tears rained down my face. He was nothing but a vicious beast thirsty for blood "Lu please...what...please stop it!"I tried to stop him. Crying my heart out as he tied me up. His face flushed with anger, and his nose flared in complete disdain. I didn't want to see the monster he had suddenly turned into. So frightening as he tightened the ropes around my wrists causing me excruciating pain which had my eyes watering non-stop"Lu I'm begging you please stop this...this isn't you" I pleaded with him hoping he could stop and tell me this was just a prank. He wasn't this vicious to tie me up when I was hearing gunshots downstairs. Fear resided in my heart praying and hoping my family was okay. I didn't want this to be happening as I fought to get up but just one deadly glare from him had me shaking my head nervously as salty tears leaked from my eyes"Boss...it's done...
(Livia)The merciless winds caused the enormous trees to crash and slap against each other like mountains coming down from a raging hell-pit angered by the vigorous storm. The wind gusts knife the piercing thorns of branches. Branded upon the colossal tree trunk was a single blinding vanishing moon hiding away in the clouds, which had cut through the immensely thick cloud and fog like a laser. Its source could vividly make out to be an inferior. Everything seemed like a dream. A total nightmare I'd wake up from, unfortunately, reality flashed through my eyes showing the monster whom I thought was the love of my life. Luciano didn't even let me run to save my parents from getting burned in the scorching fire. The flames of destruction, burning down my house with my beloved family in it. Crying and shouting for him to stop didn't help when my little brother and my parents were in agonizing pain, yelling for me to save them. Luciano showed me in the back of his truck and drove away from
“Are you going to kill us?” the words came out like a whisper, but I wanted to ask him if he was willing to kill not just my family or me but“I'm pregnant Luciano… I'm carrying your child”the words left my chattering teeth as silence fell between us. Everything around was silent like the serene waters of the sea and only the heavy wind blowing across the trees as the sounds intensified.“Y…you are lying…you are lying, you know that!” Luciano said, shaking his head as he gripped the back of my neck tightly and pulled me to him. He was hurting me so much that tears flowed down my face non-stop.“I'm carrying your child,” I said, despite how much I knew he wasn't going to listen. He was furious as he shook my body with so much strength as he gripped me by the shoulders.“You mean nothing to me!” he made a low growl angrily. His eyes shone with rage as his breathing intensified. His grip on my shoulders tightened as his nails dug deep into my flesh. Luciano was a total monster, capable
The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers.The roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun. The sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky. The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its warm light. Specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window."Congratulations sir...you did well... Everyone loves you"praises came Luciano's way as he addressed the many people who had come to his mansion to give congratulatory wishes for he was now elected as a mayor. After a long time of campaigning, he finally won the election and was elected as the mayor. Of course, he was proud of himself. Of having the power he had always wanted and he knew nothing and no one would get in his way"Thanks a lot, mayor...we were looking forward to working with you" people came forward and
**Four Years Later**"Mommy, mommy watch me fly!" A little girl's giggles erupted throughout the room. "Sweetie, stop it now!" A woman shouted from afar but the girl didn't stop giggling. "Madam, leave her…kids her age are like this," an elderly lady told the woman beside her who was busy decorating a cake. The woman was dressed in a halter-neck, sleeveless blue dress which hugged her voluptuous figure in the right places. She was nothing but a beauty to behold. Her smile was as charming and serene as the calm waters of the sea. Her long blonde hair cascaded to her in a wavy way."She can hurt herself…she's too much," it was none other than Olivia who said with a frown and continued decorating the cake."It's her fourth birthday… like every year you bake a cake for her…she's lucky to have a caring mother like you," the elderly who was none other than her daughter's nanny said. Her boss was a working class woman. She was always busy with her clients. But when it came to her daughter,
After that dreadful night, many lives were lost. Antonia was arrested for attempted murder. However, she later killed herself in prison after hearing about the death of her two lovely sons. Bianca went crazy after everything. She was admitted to the asylum to get better. “It's been 5 months Pedro…please come back,” Olivia whispered as she ran her hand over the concrete granite with Pedro's name engraved in it. Tears trickled down her face. The despair of not having the man she loved beside her. “I'm five months pregnant…don't you want to see our baby,” she added as her hand shifted to her belly. After all that, she went through. She and Pedro's child survived, but he didn't. She missed him a lot. It didn't feel real that the man she loved more than anything was no more. They didn't get to enjoy each other's company. “Why did you do this…why did you make me love you!” A yell escaped her trembling lips, everything seemed dark. Her life was without colors. Everything was back to norma
The rain stopped immediately as dawn approached. The sun rose at its full peak. The city which always seemed lively was like a dead jungle. No life, like a nightmare. Olivia was still on her knees by the edge of the cliff waiting for the man she loved to come back. Her clothes which had been drenched with both rain and blood had dried up. The police were running to and from retrieving dead bodies and putting them in the ambulance. Ira stood by Olivia, afraid of what to say to her. This was a sad moment for her. The fact that Pedro was no more pained, not just her. Both those who had followed him for years."She needs to come home," Jordan whispered to Ira, it was a shame they showed up when it was too late. But Pedro had ordered them to save Zane and Sydney. Although Zane was shot in the arm, he was recuperating in the hospital. "He has to be here…he isn't…I'll wait for him," she wasn't going to leave until she saw Pedro. Ira and Jordan exchanged glances and knew how painful it was
“You are naive…do you think I'll let this slut go?” Bruce yelled while his men held Luciano down from escaping. Olivia was unconscious and getting hoisted near the cliff while tied up.“You traitor…you killed your brother!” Luciano yelled and tried to get free,. Unfortunately, the men had injected him with something which made him helpless.“Everything…was planned by you…you deceived everyone,” he didn't know there was a devil far more heartless behind Everything. He betrayed Olivia's trust by pretending to love her, only to attempt to kill her and her family. All those years, he was made to believe Olivia's father was responsible for his father's cruel death.“I killed him… I made those inmates torture him…then I sent someone to finish him off” Bruce remarked sarcastically and kicked Luciano in the gut. Despite the pain, Luciano didn't dare show it. Flickering his eyes open, he tried moving toward where Olivia was tied up in midair, but he could. “I hate you…you ruined people's live
Nothing broke Olivia's heart more than seeing her loved ones dying before her eyes. Sydney was in agony, crying as she tried to make sense of what had happened. Alfredo was dead. Despite everything that happened, Olivia was aware of how Sydney felt about him. He was her first love. She still recalled how the two met, Olivia couldn't help but hug Sydney to comfort her."That's enough, don't blame yourself," Olivia whispered and caged Sydney in her arms. However, Sydney was uncontrollably weeping her heart out. Even Zane standing on the sidelines felt his heart ache. Alfredo wasn't a bad guy, he was just born into a family who caused others pain."He saved me…sobs…he…I killed him" Sydney cried her heart out Zane went on his knees and pried her off Olivia. He couldn't take it anymore. "And he doesn't want you to cry like this…pull yourself together," he whispered and planted a kiss on her cheek, with the rain pouring heavily, the scenery was something which broke Olivia's heart."We nee
"Agh! L-let.." Marcos tried to catch his breath but with each breath he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Pedro cradled the man in his arms trying by all means to stop the bleeding on his chest but he couldn't. Blood was oozing out like a fountain. "Stop talking…I'll have my men take you to the hospital," Pedro said knowing he would make sure Marcos was safe, unfortunately, Marcos let out a sarcastic laugh. "L-leave me…it's…it's no point…" even if Pedro managed to destroy the room and rescue him. Marcos knew he wouldn't last a day. He was dead, there was no saving him. "I didn't know, you were so weak," Pedro muttered with a frown and looked around for anyone. He knew his men would arrive. "Save…save my sister…that monster…he has her!" Marcos struggled to voice out the words but ended up coughing out blood. Pedro's brows knitted together. "She'll be fine…let's move," Pedro muttered and prepared to get up when Marcos held his hand. "Don't…I don't have much time…" he said and closed
“Fucking face it…there's no getting out of here!” Alfredo groaned in frustration as he tried to reach for the chains he was tied with, unfortunately with the way he was all tied up. It was impossible even to think.“Says a coward… I'm fucking getting out!” Zane groaned and tried to swing himself, so he could reach the wall but was tied up with chains upside down. It was a bad position. “Says a man who has done more harm than good,” Alfredo scoffed, having no idea why he was trapped with a mafia when he was supposed to be saving Sydney. “What about you, huh? Instead of protecting the woman you claimed to love…you fucking let your pathetic family harm her!” Zane spat out bitterly, his eyes filled with hatred, but Alfredo did care. Sydney has always been in love with him. He did all he could.“You know nothing about us… I'm the man she loves and will always love…she's in all this mess because of you, bloody mafias,” he stood by his words, the night he met Sydney, he fell in love with h
Corina's eyes rolled in ecstasy; she could feel her juices dripping down. Just the sight of Pedro's naked body had her drooling. Touching herself as she crawled on the bed."After tonight…there will be no denying me…my love for you," she whispered and ran her finger from his chest and stopped at his abs."Do you remember…the wild night we had…how dominant and barbaric you…used to be," she leaned down and ran her tongue on his abs. A smirk crept on her face as she watched him struggling. Of course, the drug she gave him rendered him useless….he couldn't move nor talk. He was completely overpowered and not in control."You've always been the one who set my soul on fire," she added and lay on her side. Her hair fell to the sides as she got a better view of Pedro. Scanning his perfectly sculpted body. He was the man, sexy and held power. Such traits he possessed. This was the kind of man she had always desired."My love…we are going to have fun," she muttered and reached her hand for Pe
Corina's eyes flashed with hatred upon hearing what Pedro had to say. After everything, he was insisting on being Olivia. “I love you Pedro…you mean the world to me…why do you insist on being with her!” Corina yelled and grabbed Pedro's shirt. She couldn't take it anymore. She was a beautiful woman, even better than Olivia, so why was he doing this?“Is this… Why you want to see me… I told you…the only woman I love is Olivia,” Pedro shoved her hands away and turned away. His feelings had changed over the past months. He wasn't like this, meeting Olivia, everything changed.“You are lying…wake up, Pedro …she's not the one for me… I'm stronger than her…we…we make a good couple,” Corina was irritated to know Pedro didn't want her. It was the middle of the night. All she wanted was to be with Pedro.“I thought you had something sensible to tell me…but I can see you are still mentally ill,” Pedro remarked, keeping Corina at arm's length. She called him saying she had an idea of the main m
