Chapter 59OctaviaBennett showed me to my room and it would be an understatement to say that it was beautiful. It was breathtaking.I looked at the painting on the wall. "I'll...uhm, be in my room." He said,as he leaned on the doorway."Okay." I mumbled.He hesitated before getting up and leaving.Closing the door behind Bennett, I walked to the bed and slumped down on it.The room was huge. It could accommodate two people if demarcated.My belly growled. Damn! I was hungry.I pulled off my coat jacket and dropped it on the bed.I stepped out of the room and headed down the hallway where we had took before.When I came down the stairs. The sweet aroma of beef sauce and chicken dumplings filled the air.Was Bennett cooking? Could he cook?Well...all Italian men cooked.I followed the aroma and came in front of one of the most beautiful kitchen I'd ever set my eyes on.It was white in colour and had the beautiful cubicle for plates...one I'd always had my eyes to get.Bennett was st
Chapter 60OctaviaWhen I woke up the next morning...God help me! Cause my whole body felt sore.I was aching all over.I turned around, hoping to see Bennett but he wasn't there.I sat up, my eyes raking around but Bennett was no where to be found. I stood up, heading to the bathroom with all the pain.Had I been too fast to forgive Bennett? Did he leave me behind after pounding my ass into the mattress and having the best orgasms of his life? He had said so himself, right?Did he have an important meeting that he had to leave as soon as possible to see what was wrong?With Bennett anything could go wrong at anytime.I sighed and closed my eyes, opening the bathroom door..I walked to the bathroom and there was a sticker on the wall..'The water has been heated and it will help for the soreness. Bath and come downstairs." It read.A smile touched my lips. Bennett was trying.I could recall his words last night..."I'm not so good at this... I'm not so good at relationship Octavia. B
Chapter 61Octavia"Don't tell me that's not convincing enough Bennett, I tried." I said, as I rounded the car and got into the passenger seat.Bennett started the car and pressed a button in the car's steering and the gate opened."Show Off." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled."It isn't show off Miss Mondragon. I'm only making life a little easier." "Don't you have guards?"For a Mafia man, there was no security team outside."They'll be here today. I told them to take the day off yesterday. It's a good thing I did...cause you yelled a lot than expected last night." Heat rushed to my cheek and I huffed.I didn't even have anything to retort him with."You've got anything to say to me Miss?" I glared at him."No." My scowl grew.Bennett's hand reached out to mind and he gripped it between his and raised it up to place a kiss.That small gesture made me smile."Is that a smile I see?""No." "So easy to tame." He clicked his tongue and I glared again."mia amore." Bennett whispered as
Chapter 62Octavia"I love you Bennett Stone L'angelo. Although your name is so funny, I won't mind taking it as my last name." I whispered, trailing his face as he slept.It was past midnight and I was wide awake.Bennett was asleep. He was looking so calm and so at peace as he slept.He was so handsome, so hot, so collected. He was everything one needed.I trailed my fingers to his lips and licked my lips.Fuck! Stop getting any ideas Octavia... you're still sore. He couldn't stop pounding into you ever since you came back from the park."Keep doing that and you're not going to be able to walk tommorow morning. I'm not exaggerating that." My finger froze in the air.My eyes widened and I closed them so tight as if I were sleeping."I know you're awake." He whispered this time, trailing his fingers up my exposed arm.Fuck! I wasn't awake."I'm going to fuck you so hard you'll scream In your sleep if you don't open your eyes right now, tesoro." He said.My eyes flew open.He wasn't j
Chapter 63OctaviaOne thing was sure, I was happy. We were happy."I wish we could all go to Bora Bora and relax till forever." I said."Such wishes don't come to pass Octavia, you'll get tired of sitting home and not doing anything." Allison said."I would not get tired is staying at home Allison, there's nothing wrong...""She's so lazy, she can't even sit up on her bed some morning. Don't even talk about her." Sofia chipped in and I glared at her."I'm more powerful than some certain people. I stand for several hours to shoot and then eat less just to maintain my body stature and then go on diets for a particular dress and a particular company. I'm a Queen Bitch." I said."Queen my ass, thank God! You're back and it's time I relax and let you take care of the company. I've been so tired you know." Sofia yawned.I rolled my eyes."Bitch.""I know.""Ben." Allison yelled as Benjamin walked passed us in a sweatpants and a sweatshirt."Things are getting interesting, no?" Sofia raised
Chapter 64OctaviaI was back in the office after so many months and days. It was looking more beautiful than the last time I had been here.Sofia had a way of beautifying a place.Bennett and I was doing good.We were actually heading somewhere with the relationship.He was more conversative unlike before.He would tell me things concerning his people even without me questioning.Our interaction last night made it more hard for me to ever let Bennett go. He was becoming sweet as the day goes by.A knock came on the door and a familiar head popped out through the door, making my eyes widened.Was that Shirley? "Shirley?" I smiled as my once female guard walked into the office, not after shutting the door close."Hi Ma'am." She mumbled."How have you been Shirley?" I asked, putting down the book I held."It has been fine. My new job is paying good and thank you ma'am, for recommending me. I'm grateful.""No need to be uptight Shirley. I'm happy to see you. Sofia was asking about you l
Chapter 65OctaviaThe day had gone so quickly and I was back home. Home was lonely without everyone.I sat on the couch, wondering whether or not to call Bennett.He had told me he would be busy today, going back to Italy and coming back.I sighed, eating my food slowly.My phone chimed and I picked it up, a smile forming on my lips to see Bennett's name on the screen.He had sent me a text message.𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙩 𝙇 - "you awake baby?"I bit my lips. I had thought of many names to save Bennett but none came to my head.Was it darling? Baby? Love?But instead I had settled with Bennett L, the L standing for Love.I texted back, a smile on my face.𝙊𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙖 - "no, are you back?"Silence reigned for minutes and my phone rang this time.I picked up the call, not after waiting for three minutes.Play hard to get.... always remember that."Please don't tell me you were listening to your ringing tone just to prove some points baby." Bennett said, his voice deep as if he had just wok
Chapter 66I slipped some butter into my mouth and licked it so deliciously. When I opened my eyes, Bennett was giving me a Stern look that said ' stop licking that, do you know the amount of sugar in there?'Butter had not sugar, right?"What were you saying earlier?" He asked. "About some girls I met yesterday at the company when you drove me there." I said."Hmm. What did they say?""Couldn't stop talking about you being so hot and asked about some things about you.""And what did you tell them about me?" Bennett asked.We were making a cake. He had promised to help me make bruschetta when we were done with his favorite chocolate cake...one his mother always made for dessert."Nothing nice." I said, folding my lips into my mouth and looking up at Bennett to see his lips curl to a lip."That could be so many things." He said."Hmm." I nodded. "They couldn't help asking and I said 'he's my boyfriend and he's the leader of some Italian Mafia, he's really hot but then he has a small d
