“You told her already?” he asked over the phone. “Yeah, I did” he responded and checked the wardrobe properly to be sure he packed all their belongings inside the bags. He didn’t want to have to come back because he forgot one thing or the other. Then he proceeds to the bathroom and checked to see nothing much aside from the toothbrush he grabbed earlier and personal bath essentials. “Did she say it back?” He paused when he asked him that and thought for a while. He agreed that he told her how much he likes her but she never said whether she liked him or not then thought about it again. If the feeling wasn’t mutual, he was sure she wouldn’t have responded to him as she had been, brought him food even when he was and has been a total jerk to her, wouldn't have forgiven him that easily… Maybe she would have because she has a kind and beautiful soul. One of the many reasons he likes her. “You still there?” “Yeah, I am” he answered then sat on the bed, crossed one of his over th
When she came out of the bedroom her nostrils couldn’t help but scent the aroma that filled the entire living room and a smile immediately made its way to her lips. He was right… this was definitely going to be one of the best dishes she has ever tasted. She knows not to judge a book by its cover or food by its delicious aroma but with how filled the room was, it was evident she will love the food and probably his cooking. Making her way to the kitchen, the aroma became more filling and stronger and her eyes were greeted by his back to her as his hands worked on something. She closed her eyes to take in more of the scent before opening them and walking towards him and standing right behind him. “I have a feeling that I would love this dish,” she said and he side-glanced at her before going back to what he was doing. “You are going to enjoy it, Love, just waits till you taste it” he assured her and turned with two plates in his hold as he wriggled his brows and walked outside the
“Are you sleeping?” “No,” he answered and began caressing her arm. “Okay…” she said in a small voice. “Want something?” he asked. “Ask something” “Go ahead then” “So you guys built this place by yourselves?” she asked. He let out a sigh then nod his head and spoke his answer. “Not the entire park but just this place. We secured this space and built it to be like this… green is lively and calm that was why we wanted the theme to be green” he answered. “Green is lively and calm?” she raised her head to look at him with her chin resting on his chest. He looked down at her and rest his palm on her head before caressing it down and over and over again. “Yes Love” “Hmm…” was her reply. “If plants are green it then you know that they are in their best season of the year and I think they are calm because…” he paused for a while and looked away from her in thought before looking back at her and continuing. “It’s calm” he concluded and she giggled then rest her head on his chest ag
The sound of the notification on his phone got interrupted whatever he was going to say so he raised a finger at the blond man in front of him so he could check it. When he opened it, a smile involuntarily made itself known on his lips and he had to bite his bottom lips to prevent himself from grinning so widely. After staring at the screen for a good two minutes with a wide smile on his face, he decided to reply and hoped that she replies in no time. “I too need some kind of attention here” his little giddy haze was interrupted by Aiden’s voice so he looked up at him with his eyes saying how he was feeling at the moment. “Sorry man, I needed to answer Loveth” Aiden took a sip from his drink and nodded then placed it back on the table before speaking. “You would have said you wanted to be with her instead of us meeting up now… I feel like I am seeking your attention” Dimitri looked up from his phone with pure amusement on his face before a little furrow formed on his brows. “Wh
She had tied her red hair up in a messy bun and had her body covered with her fluffy ash-colored bathrobe while she stands in her bathroom, in front of the mirror, and looked angrily at her beautiful appearance. ‘Those freckles are bad’ she thought to herself as she kept looking at them and wondered when or how she could get them off her face as she has always wanted to when she was a little girl. … “They are ugly on you and you should be cursed for having them on your face” … Those words were followed by a round of laughter from her supposed bullies when they looked at her face and the freckles scattered on her nose and cheeks. Those words made her angry at the freckles that stained her not too perfect looking skin and there was nothing that could be done to get them off so she had to hide them with makeup that her step-father would bought for her when he felt like she was being a good girl. Her mum was against it even till her death and would always remind her of how beautiful s
The past weeks went by with Daniella and her very ‘crazy’ idea of getting rid of Audriana. She had intentionally missed calls and not replied to any of her messages because of how infuriated she fell over due to how happy the couple had been with each other after the stunt she pulled on them. She had always wondered why she didn’t just end things once and for all so that she wouldn’t have to go through this stress and heartache she was feeling… if that’s the appropriate word to call it. It was driving her crazy and she hated that she can't do anything about it in the meantime… she needed her next steps to be clean and go exactly as planned, so staying low now till it happens was the best at the moment. After all, she has a really handsome man at her call and beck. So till she can claim what she thinks is hers’. For Audriana and Dimitri, it was amazing and great. He took her on numerous dates where they were able to get to know more things about themselves, he would sometimes offer
“Have them sent to my mail so that I can look over them before getting back to you” he said to the man on the other phone. “Okay, I will do just that, take care,” he said. “Yeah, and you too” he hung up and put his phone in his pocket as he looked ahead at the thought of what the man told him. He was seated in his car that was parked in the garage of his company and was going to get out to proceed into the building and then to his office when he received the call from his PI about all the things that happened to him and Audriana. It got him bothered that all those strange things happened to them but it seemed that most of them were made to directly hurt Audriana and not him so that was why aside from the police's little investigations, he decided to carry out his own so he could find out who is behind them all. Although, he has an idea of who is the mastermind of it he doesn’t want to come to conclusion about anything he also wants strong proof that can get her out of wherever she
“Look, I can e-” she held her hand up in the air and walked up to him then took his hand in hers and walked him to the bed and pulled him down by the shoulder so he could sit down while she sat beside him. Now, he was a bit confused and scared at the same time. If she said she knew about him and Daniella, why then is she taking it so cool like she didn’t become aware of something that huge that she was supposed to hear from her husband and not from another source? “Loveth,” “I need you to listen to me Miguel” she talks over him then lay her head on his shoulder before letting out a sigh. He didn’t know what to say at this moment but wait for whatever she had to say to him, then hoped that he would try to explain things to her so she knows he was actually going to tell her but didn’t see the opportunity to do so. “I am so hurt” she began and he could already feel it too. She wouldn’t be hurt if he had manned up and told her when he shared most of his past with her. Now he blames
… 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
