Michelangelo heard Renata’s words and his feet stopped. He locked the door immediately and ran to her. He turned her, grabbed her hair, and lifted her head to gain access to her mouth. Without wasting a single moment, he placed his mouth over hers and kissed her with all the passion. She reverted back with equal vigour. She missed him too. His hands moved on her waist, but her pain stopped them in the middle. “Sorry, sorry!” cried Michelangelo. “It’s okay, it’s okay,” assured Renata. “This pain will go away in days.” “I am sorry, I am sorry this happened because of me. I hate that I belong to my family,” sobbed Michelangelo and softly hugged Renata. “I am sorry too that you belong to a mafia family. For once in my life, I like a man and he is out of my league,” said Renata. “Are you kidding? You are out of my league. I am nothing compared to you,” said Michelangelo. “You are rich, handsome, powerful. I am nothing,” counterpointed Renata. “You are a normal human being. You have
“Where is Michel?” asked Vittore.“With that girl, where else?” Vicktor rolled his eyes.“Has he lost his mind? Is he falling for her? Is he in a relationship with her? You know what that can mean?” snapped Vittore.“You don’t have to tell me. If he is in a relationship or even falls for her, his nominations will be void. And you have no chance that Narciso will ever win. Michel is our ace in the hole. He can be supreme boss but it’s like he is not interested in that. He is only interested in those girls,” said Vicktor.“How many days we have not even talked to him?” asked Vittore.“It’s been two weeks and he spends every day with her. He says that he is working on an ad campaign but so many of our people have seen him having sex with her in his car,” said Vicktor.“If it’s only about sex, we don’t have to worry. But if it’s about something else, we will have to worry. He must not fall for her,” said Vittore.“You are right. He must not fall for her. But that is not the only reason, h
Michelangelo picked up the photograph of Narciso and Renata and leaving Vicktor in his home, he started the engine of his car. “Michel! Michel!” shouted Vicktor and ran after him. “Stop! Let’s talk,” he pleaded. But Michelangelo drove away. Vicktor’s words were falling on deaf ears. Vicktor almost ran to the gate but Michelangelo was gone. He stopped and flashed a devilish smile. His plan was working. Either Michelangelo was going to confront his brother or his girl. Anyway, he would start hating her soon. “What happened?” Severino came running. “Michel ran away. I don’t know where he is going,” Vicktor’s facial expression was changed now. He looked distraught. He could not show his happy face to Severino. “Why? Why would he run away? He had a meeting with Renata, but he won’t leave without me,” said Severino. “It’s my fault. I should not have shown him, never should have shown him,” Vicktor was almost on the verge of crying. What a great actor he was. “Shown him what?” asked Sev
Tears were falling from Michelangelo’s eyes. He said ‘love you’ to a girl and she was two-timing him. Not only two-timing, but she was also in a relationship or had slept with every member of SMS. What was her plan? Why was she doing that? Why she targeted him? He helped her, saved her, liked her, loved her and this is how she returned the favour? His car was swerving left and right, and he was driving like a maniac. His mind was occupied with confronting Renata. No other thought even dared to enter his mind. He knew what she was going to say. She was going to say that it was all a lie and she had nothing to do with Narciso. He just skidded the car and parked in two spots and ran inside the restaurant where Renata was waiting for him. The valet of the hotel kept shouting after him to park the car nicely, but Michelangelo was not interested in listening to anyone. He had to talk to Renata. He had to find the truth. He entered the restaurant and there she was dressed in a red double-b
Renata was crying on the side of the road while Michelangelo kept staring at her in the rear-view mirror. She was on her knees and wailing. Why would Michelangelo do such a thing? Why a sweet, kind man would turn into a cruel person? He punished her with sex. What was he talking about Narciso? Why was he asking about him? How did he know Narciso and who was Narciso? Why would a CEO of a big company talk about a man who worked in a small hotel? And what did he mean by what she did with Narciso? She did nothing except talk to him. What brought the changes in Michelangelo? She just wanted to talk to him and get all the misunderstandings out of the way, but Michelangelo was not ready to listen to her. In fact, he asked her never to contact him. What was her crime? She kept raking her brain trying to figure out what the hell happened. She wore her dress and tied the belt tightly. All her buttons were broken, and she was panty less. She was in a crime-riddle street. Anyone could kill her
“Vic! Vic!” shouted Severino over the phone.“Calm down, Sev! Is everything alright? What happened?”“Michel! Michel!” gulped Severino.“Michel, what? Is he alright?”“He killed,” said Severino.“Excuse me!!” shouted Vicktor at the top of his lungs.“He killed four men,” said Severino.“How? Why? When? Whaattt???” Vicktor was shocked. Even his plan didn’t have this step. He never even dreamed that Michelangelo was capable of killing.“Just a few hours ago,” replied Severino. “I am going to the crime scene, go and look after him, please. Tom is with him.”“I will be there in a minute. Make sure the killing does not tie up to us,” said Vicktor.“I will make sure of that. You take care of Michel.”“Okay. See you later,” said Vicktor.“What? What happened?” asked Vittore.“And… we have our kill count,” smiled Vicktor.“What do you mean?” asked Vittore.“You son just killed four men,” laughed Vicktor. He was floating on clouds with happiness.“Excuse me!” shouted Narciso. “How is that supp
Sameeksha brought Renata to the living room in fresh clothes. She was fine after seeing that there were no injuries on Renata’s body. But what she couldn’t do was get Renata to stop crying. Renata didn’t tell her what happened that night. She just kept crying. Her heart shattered today and there was no cure for that. Sameeksha kept caressing and patting her back and Renata kept crying. All the girls were worried about Renata. They had never seen her like that and the condition she came in the house was more worrying. Hazel brought a glass of water for her and made her drink. “Please drink it. You need it,” said Hazel. “Please stop crying, Ren. We cannot see you like that.” Finally, Renata took the glass and sipped from it. Her eyes and her nose were running. Valentina gave her a box of tissues. “Please tell us what happened,” asked Ambrosia, sitting right in front of her on the table. Renata looked at her and gulped. She didn’t know how to tell the tale. She was assaulted not onl
Days were gloomy after that drama. Renata lost her joy and charm. She stopped talking to almost everyone. She would reply in simple yes and no and won’t talk without any reason. She didn’t say a word when Angela ripped into her for losing the Venturi campaign. Michelangelo just called up Angela and pulled his project. He said Renata was not suitable for him and hence Athanasius was not suitable for him. Angela was extremely angry at her. Because of her, the company lost Yoshiro’s and Michelangelo’s business. But Renata didn’t mind. She was almost dead inside. The way Michelangelo treated her, her will to be happy died. She didn’t know how to smile or laugh anymore. It was not like she cried every time, she even forgot how to cry. It was like someone pulled her soul out of her body and crushed it. She would go to her office and then come home but not speak to anyone. The girls were getting worried about her. She also had stopped eating. After much pestering from the girls, she would
