“How come I didn’t think about this?” he muttered under his breath as he watched what happened in the elevator.

She was crying when she entered and was trying to clean up her face when an older man came in. It was seen in the video how tense and scared she looked by the way she leaned further into the wall like she wanted to blend in with it if possible.

The man had been looking at her from the time he got in and Dimitri could feel his heart race gradually as he watched her become tenser when she looked at the man and found him still looking at her.

It seems as if there was a conversation between them as he nod her head but wasn’t looking at him.

Then the man brought something out of his pocket and walked over to her. She seemed to have pushed herself further to the wall when he reached for her, she pulled away but he was able to grab her and they saw him with that thing he brought out of his pocket to be a syringe since he wanted to insert it in her.

    Soft feathering rose brushed against her cheek then went down to her shoulder blades creating an invisible line along her blades before going up to her other cheek. It felt ticklish against her skin that she would once in a while swat it away and rub the spot it went on top before it would continue and she would swat it away. He chuckled lightly when he saw her reactions to him using one of the roses he had ordered for her early in the morning so she could wake up to them on this special day. Adjusting his weight on one of his arms, he leaned closer to her, allowing his breath to fan against her face, and continued what he was doing earlier just as he expected, her hand moved above her face to swat away what was disturbing her sleep. Finally thinking he had bothered her enough, he put the rose back to where the others lay on the bedside table and leaned even closer to place a kiss on her nose but when the unexpected happened. Her eyes shot open and involuntarily, her hands went up

    He stood up, walked to the shower, opened the curtains, and turned on the water to check if it was warm to use before closing them back and turning to her. “Ready to use babe, it's time to get clean” he walked over to her and she walked to the bathroom door and held it open so he could leave. “One after the other hubby,” she told him and scrunched her face as a dull pain made itself known around her abdomen down to the inner part of her thigh. When she looked at him he was standing some inches away from her and was looking at the spot she was standing on seconds ago her eyes widened when she saw what he was looking at, their eyes met and she felt her cheeks go warm in embarrassment. How didn’t she know she was having them at this time and they were stained on the floor? She felt like smacking her forehead at the moment. “Maybe you should leave so I can get cleaned up,” she told him and looked away from him. He walked up to her and held her shoulders which tensed a bit but he didn

  • The Billionaire Prick   Looking

    It had been four days since they had been looking for Audriana and they asked that it be kept away from the public to avoid any sort of approach or false news that might give them false hope. The press might do less in helping to find her and even if they did put a price on anyone who might know something, some people would just want to make something out of it and just make a false alarm which wouldn't be good for all of them. But they are really doing a great job with asking friends or people they know that might have an idea about her whereabouts. Her parents, his parents, Sofia, Max, Caleb, Emily, Philip, Aiden, and Dimitri have all been doing their best and cooperating with the police also but they still couldn’t find where she was or that man that attacked her in the elevator. When they showed the police the footage as expected, they took the flash that contained the video and told them they would use that as a lead for their search. At least they know they are not only just

    “What are you doing here? You were supposed to keep an eye on her” Daniella spat angrily and walked out of his little office as he stood up from his chair to follow behind her. “What is your problem woman? She is tied and can hardly lift a finger so I doubt she would think about escaping and especially in a place she isn't familiar with” “You can't underestimate the power of women” she replied to him. “Or you mean a ‘crazy woman’? you are a crazy girl” he told her and she threw him a glare which he brushed off. “When would I stop babysitting her? I miss going out and enjoying myself and not being trapped here with a psychopath’s victim. “I am not crazy” she defends and he chuckled. “Yeah, you are not,” he said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes. She stopped in front of the door and turned to him with a smile already gracing her face. “I think now is the time for me to decide what her fate would be and how she would be treated,” she told him excitedly and he just shakes his h

    He stood up and from where he lay on his bed when he heard a noise coming from downstairs. It seem faint and like whoever was making such a noise didn’t want to be heard. Carefully he walked to the door and took in deep breaths to calm himself and prepare to attack who might have broken into his place. He was really trying his best to remain quiet when he exited his room to go downstairs so he could see who was. The movement he heard earlier stopped and he wondered if the person heard him and decided to leave so quickly he moved downstairs but still maintained quietness as he went down. When he was downstairs he looked around the quiet and dark room to see no one there a frown etched his face as he wondered if he was delusional to think that someone broke in there when in fact it looks the same as he left it. Well, except for the fridge that was left slightly opened and a bag of chips he remembered not putting in when he retired to go to sleep last night. Looking at the clock tha

    Three police cars, a van, an ambulance, and a taxi that carried Dimitri, Aiden, and Caleb stopped right in front of a bad-looking off-white house that looked like it would collapse anytime soon. Quickly the police came out of their respective cars and the head of them gave instructions as to where they would stand and check for her while the paramedics opened the back door as they await a call for them. The trio came out of the taxi and Dimitri walked straight to the building with determined steps but was stopped by the officer conducting the search. “I understand how you feel Mr. Lorenzo but you will have to stand back and let us do our job. I already told you that you couldn’t come but you were stubborn to listen and still came. Just stand back and we will check everywhere to look for her.” Dimitri threw him a hard glare and sized him up then ignored his talk and began to walk past him when the officer pushed him back as he was already losing his patience with him. “I will not a

    After they had rescued Audriana and brought her to the hospital, Dimitri informed her parents, his parents, Sofia, Emily, and Max so they came to the hospital to see how she was doing. Thankfully there wasn’t much damage done to her aside from the fact that she was dehydrated, lacked food for some days, and hit on the side of her face. Then they found some traces of drugs in her system which were flushed out, other than that, she is good. The doctor who treated Dimitri was the one attending to her and when he came out of her room he explained all that was found and said they could go see her then advised that they brought fruit for her. Dimitri volunteered to go get her the fruits while they would go in to check on how she was feeling and express their happiness about her being found. On his way outside the hospital, his phone rang and he didn’t bother checking for the caller ID, thinking it was Aiden calling to inform him about the situation there. “Hello man, did you find anyth

    When they all left his gaze met with hers and she gasped before looking away so quickly. It made him smile and he walked over to her, still looking at her then placed the fruit bag on her lap before sitting on the chair beside the bed. She looked at him and caught him still looking at her so to distract her mind from all the hazy feeling his looks were giving her she looked into the nylon and flashed him a smile before going for the tangerine which caught her attention at first. “You like tangerine?” he asked and she nod her head. Note taken. “How are you feeling?” he asked and she cleared her throat before answering him. “Much better, how are you?” “I am good and it should be you I should keep asking,” he told her which made her roll her eyes. “It's good to hear your voice and see your pretty face again,” he said and she paused from eating the last of her tangerine then looked up at his watching eyes before a frown graced her face. She said nothing about the compliment and bow

    “Do you feel okay today?” he asked and she nods then lay back on the bed properly while he packed the plate they just finished eating with. It’s been a few days since that incident and they are slowly accepting what happened and wanted to move on. Dimitri had been shuffling between coming to spend time with her, going to work, and helping to find out what caused the blast that took his baby and nearly took his wife’s life. “I feel okay, I guess,” she said to him then moved a bit so that he can sit properly on her bed “I still feel weak though” she chuckled and he took her hand then kissed her knuckles and palm. “No one is expecting you to jump back on your feet so soon, we are still in the beginning stage of our healing so easy does it” he leaned in and pecked her. “We’ll be good, okay?” he whispered then kissed her cheek and leaned back. “Thanks for being here” “You don’t need to thank me, everything will be good” he nods and she nods too. “Do you need anything else?” “No, I am

    It was evening already and he was woken by one of the nurses who told him to step out for a while so that they could check Audriana properly. He sat up on the couch and looked past the nurse to his wife who looked a bit pale and had no smile on her face as she responds to whatever she’s been asked by the doctor that was sitting on the stool beside her with a clipboard in his hand. “Is she okay?” he looked back at the nurse “She has no memory loss?” he asked and the nurse shook her head. “She will be fine sir but please step out for a while,” she tells him and he nods then stood up on his feet and looked back at his wife to see that she was already looking at him then she tore her gaze from him and back to the doctor. For that brief moment that their eyes met, he felt his knees go weak and the urge to cry for what she will come to know of made his heart heavy. He blinked several times and walked out of the room with wobbly legs. When he was outside, he saw only Aiden sitting outsid

    “Yes, I am Dimitri Lorenzo” he walked closer to him. “Doctor please, how is my wife? Where is she?” he asked looking hopefully at the doctor. “Please be calm Mr. Lorenzo… my name is Chargo Arrivederci, I am the doctor in charge of Mrs. Lorenzo’s case” he introduced himself and held his hand out for a handshake. Reluctantly, Dimitri accepted it and kept asking about his wife. “According to the reports we were told when she was brought in, it was a blast that prompted her to be here, and seeing that she hadn’t been in any way close to where the blast happened, is a good thing” he explained. Dimitri’s face softened and he began to relax from what the doctor was explaining but he still needed to be sure. “So, she’s fine? She’s okay?” “Well, like I said the blast did nothing to her only that when she was brought in, she was bleeding so bad, and when we checked the cause of the bleeding sir… I am so sorry, but we tried our best” he said.

    “Okay, sure… just give me updates on how it's improving, and one of these days I will come over to see how far you guys have gone with testing,” she said over the phone as she made her way out of the university building and to the car park that was outside the compound where she had parked. “Thank you so much for your help with fishing out who was behind the disruption of the model we thought had failed testing, it means a lot to me and my dad… yeah, I am aware that you are a long-term employee here and I appreciate your honesty so thank you Mr. Hans” she thanked. Finally, they were able to pull out all the bad weeds in their company and employ fresh talents looking to grow in the field… now they are testing another model and hope that this time no one messes with it, especially now that they have heavy security watching the engineers overlooking the project. “Thank you once again and I will call you later,” she said and disconnect the call then walked out of the university’s compou

    The past weeks have been really stressful and it’s taking a huge toll on Dimitri. Him following up with his secret investigations to put Daniella Copello behind bars for good this time and him asking himself countless times if he should go get his wife now or not. He has been battling that within him every single day and would sometimes go to Sofia’s apartment building and stay at the angle where her window was to just catch a grasp of her. He had gone there multiple times to the extent that a resident that didn’t recognize him told him that she would report his creepy routine if he came back to creep on the window he looks at every time comes around that area so he stopped going, even a disguise wouldn’t help. So, he got news about her well-being from Aiden frequently and it brought him some sort of peace that she was okay but just trying to cope with their little space as he calls it. It is never a separation, it is just them having space to figure things out. He would be comple

    It has been less than twenty-four hours since she left and he was still seated in the same position that he was in from the previous day, only that he was leaning his back on his tie shelf and his long legs were sprawled on the floor. He slept that way and was sure to get an aching back, shoulder, and numb butt if he moves a muscle. How everything just went from smiles and flirting to cries, sadness, and moving out was way beyond him… he caused it this time and he feels ashamed that he couldn’t tell her on time and couldn’t even give her an answer as to whether he loves her or not. He hasn’t fully sorted out Daniella’s feelings yet and coming to a conclusion that he loves her when he hadn’t concluded if he still feels for his ex or not would be too much and would hurt badly. “I’m stupid” he muttered and closed his eyes whilst releasing a sigh. A headache suddenly hit the side of his head and he grimaced at the attack then let out a groan and adjusted his body against the shelf beh

    “Are you sure you are okay?” he asked her and she nod her head and wiped the fresh tears that rolled down her cheeks. “I’m fine thank you” she responded with a forced smile and he nods they just looked at her and wished he could see Dimitri so he could land his fist on his face. “Do you need me to walk you in?” “No, it's fine… I can manage from here, you’ve done enough” she sniffed again and he smiled and then gave her hand a comforting squeeze. “I told him not to hurt you and he did exactly that” he let out a sigh and tighten his grip on the steering wheel as he voice out what was on his mind. “I wish I could give him a piece of my mind right now and…” “Philip… It's fine, I am fine and it's just a minor issue between a husband and wife and we will figure things out soon” she squeezed his hand that held her and offered him a smile and it was a genuine one. ‘I hope’ she wanted to add but didn’t want to say anything more about what happened between her and her husband to him or ju

    It was a look of intimate familiarity and that was one of the reasons she felt hurt now she is thinking ‘what if she is just putting too much meaning to what she saw?’ He might actually be irritated by her and her doings but with how she was feeling at the moment, she couldn’t see things that way… he felt like he needed that hug from her when she entered and saw them like that. ‘He didn’t hug her back’ her mind told her but she ignored it and proceed to ask her previous question. “Do you still have feelings for her?” she asked one more time and got her answer when he didn’t answer. She bit her bottom lip to stifle a sob then looked at him with the tears pooling out of her eyes and down her cheeks. “So, you still love her,” she said and he didn’t say anything but just looked at her. They stared into each other eyes with hurt written all over their face. “You don’t need to do this,” he said after a while and she shook her head and then closed her eyes as the tears kept coming down
