He pressed the floor of their room and waited for the elevator to close as they stood in silence. He likes how the day went and couldn’t remember the last time he had fun… not the bed kind of fun but this kind of fun.
He, his friend and cousin had gone out too but it isn't like this. He kept stealing glances at her and noticed she had her eyes closed and the bucket of ice cream tightly held by her.
He frowned and turned his body to her. There was a little furrow on her brows and she shook her head once in a while then mutters something under her breath.
She was trying her best to keep calm so as not to give away the fact that she is scared. Her heart rate escalates as the elevator goes up. She kept muttering ‘it’s okay' over and over again to herself. Nothing could happen, right? That was in the past and nothing of such could happen to her. She should just calm down, at

He was beyond angry at this stage.“The elevator was undergoing maintenance for the past week and was working perfectly so this evening the issue persists and we put a ‘do not enter’ sign in front of the elevator so as to avoid this experience”Dimitri took the phone from his ear and stepped closer to the man, inti

“So how did your honeymoon go?” Philip relaxed comfortably on the chair in front of her as she went through the source code her Dad emailed to her weeks before her wedding.She had been so busy she forgot about it, even when her Dad put up a reminder every end of the week so she doesn't forget she somehow forgets. Probably she was so overwhelmed by the whole wedding preparations.Now she was back at work and got lots and lots of congratulations from both her fellow workers and students. They were happy for her and some teased her about marrying one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City.She just told him what she told everyone else.“They have been childhood friends and once dated before she broke up with him due to some misunderstanding they had, so that left him miserable and begging for her to take him back. Now they are grown and realize how much they love each other and decided to reunite by getting married”
“Dimitri, I need you to go over this blueprint again and give me feedback by this week Thursday. It's the proposal from Mr. Wu Cho you sent to me some weeks ago” he handed the Blueprint to Dimitri. “But Dad, I already told you how profitable it would be if we considered his proposal. You didn't go through them?” he asked with a slight frown on his face. Donald smiled and adjust in his seat looking straight at his son’s eyes. “Son, I wouldn't be in the seat forever. Anything could happen and might not make it and I need my son to take over from me” he spoke. Dimitri sat up in his seat looking alert and making the frown gracing his feature deepen. “Are you okay Dad? Is everything fine?” he was worried already. He can't lose his Dad, not now, not ever. What will happen to his Mum if such happens? They are so in love and attached together. It will be
“So Sofia I was th- oh my GOD” Audriana stopped in her tracks with her eyes wide opened and her mouth hunged from what she just saw.Sofia immediately pushes him but he was quick to stand firmly on his feet else he would be on the floor nursing a pained butt. She adjust her hair and gown then looked at her friend like she was caught doing something bad.Her cheeks flushed when her friend raised one of her eyebrows and looked between the tall man and her. She pushed him a little far from where she was standing to maintain some distance and bowed her head.Why was she so shocked to see them in a compromising position or situation rather. It felt like a deja vu. On the day of her wedding when her bestie and friends caught her under her so-called husband. Dimitri Lorenzo.But this time she walked into her friend and supposed boyfriend making out or rather almost swallowing each other faces.Her lips twitched and she bit her lips from inside
“We will check them and get back to you on those things soon,” the man says over the phone. “Okay that would be fine, thank you. Please remember it takes place in a month or two and I would love that everything is prepared before that day just to avoid any sort of excuses or so” she said walking out of the school building to hail down a taxi. “Okay, we will make sure there will be no interruptions on that day ma’am” he assured and she smiled. “Okay, thank you so much, I will let you know when there is more to do or if anything comes up. Thank you and bye” she hung up and put her phone back in her pocket. She just closed for the day at the university and needs to get to the company to talk with the engineers again. She walked a bit when she couldn't spot a taxi nearby and decided to take the bus if she didn't see one. But would it be fine to do so? Dimitri had warned her not to take public transport since they were married and she would be more
“Hey, er… I am Earl Miguel Durpuel, I was the one who cal-” “Oh, you are the man who saved my baby” Kingsley cuts in and walks up to the man to hug him “Thank you so much, Earl, I don't know what I would have done if you didn't drag her from the way” he leaned back from the hug and patted his shoulders. “Oh, it’s nothing sir, it's something anyone would do” he shrugged. “Thank you so much for saving my daughter-in-law. Donald Lorenzo” he held his hands out and Earl took it. “Nice to meet you, sir, I have said my name earlier so… yeah” he chuckled and he just nodded. “Sorry, pardon my manners. I am Kingsley Bernard, Audriana’s Father, and this is Dimitri Lorenzo, her husband, and Sofia, my daughter” he points at a frowning Dimitri who still had that look on his face when the guys stepped in and at Sofia. “It's nice meeting you too sir,” he shook Kingsley’s hand and shook Sofia’s “Nice to meet you Sofia” she smiled. “Nice to meet
He placed his hands on both sides of her and she had her hands around his neck then made her lean back till she had her back rested on the bed and he could hover over her properly.He broke the kiss and kissed her cheeks before going back to her lips to deepen the kiss. He was enjoying the kiss more than he should and she was not at all complaining.Then they broke the kiss to get some air since the room was already getting stuffy then rested both their foreheads against each other with eyes closed and feeling the warmth of their breath brush each other's faces.Then he asked in a hushed tone.“Are they gone?” he opened his eyes but hers were still closed, fully mesmerized by their recent activities.“Hmm…”“Are they gone? Love?” he asked again and this time she opened her eyes to meet with a beautiful hazel gaze.
… Six months later … “Here you go” Sofia handed her a glass of juice and a plate of snacks, she sat on the couch beside her and rubs her really visible bump. “Thank you” she sniffed the snack then scrunch her nose as she looks at Sofia who frowned at what she did. “Did you make this with fish?” she asks. “No?” Audriana’s brow rose and she shrugged “Maybe there was some fish seasoning added but there isn’t much of that inside,” she says. “I am not eating that, I feel disgusted, no offense” Audriana dropped the plate on the table and looks at her friend who was irritated. “Well, for your information lady, my pregnant ass is offended and I am eating them because I am craving them” she took the plate and starts eating from the plate. “I am sorry ma’am, I…” Audriana sighs and placed the glass of juice on the table then turns fully to her friend who gave her full attention “I… I have been so stressed these couple of days” she said. “Oh baby, what’s going on? Still on that Daniella’s c
“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. Heart sinking… that was exactly how he was feel
“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
