Victoria was staring at the clutches beside her. She had called Valerie several times and had even taken the risk to go to her apartment but she wasn't around. Valerie was never there when she needed her the most, she was either working or going around partying and chasing after Lucio. Tears brimmed down Victoria's cheeks, there was nothing else she could do except turn to the last person she would want to see. The doorbell rings and she gets up striding towards the door and yanks it wide open exposing her mother Patricia.

Before Victoria could say another word, Patricia Carnegie landed a hard slap on her cheek. "I told your father not to let you move out of the house, I know this would happen"

"I fell"

"Well you certainly fell wrongly and at the wrong time. How stupid can you Victoria? I thought you were better and smarter than your sister" Patricia was now inside the house, she slammed the door.

"It wouldn't happen again, forgive me mother"

"Forgive you? You're stupid and clumsy! Do

    "Get this files for me and I need another cup of coffee"Lisa at the coffee she just brought for him a moment. "What's wrong with this one?""It's already cold. You know I hate cold coffee"Lisa scoffed. She was clearly angry but she had to hold it in. That was what he said a while ago when she served another coffee to him, now he is saying it again. That was annoying. He was punishing for what she did but this has got to stop. This was also his fault, if he didn't decide to sign a deal with Ms. Wang then she wouldn't have gone on that date with Mike. She went on that date to hurt him back for what he did to her. Lisa couldn't fathom why she had this sudden urge for revenge."That was what you said a while ago"Lucio lifts up his eyes from the documents he was going through. "Are you questioning my authority?""No Mr. Delevonte, I am asking why you let the coffee get cold and then send me to get another one. Are you doing this to piss me off or is this your revenge?""Stop complainin

    Tears brimmed Victoria's cheek but she quickly wiped her cheeks. Patricia was going to kill her for what she had done."Okay, that's enough!" Alex was livid. His cousin was heartless. Clearly it was obvious that Patricia was going to hurt her."The both of you should leave or I will call security""I am not leaving here without my daughter""I don't want to go with you mother, I'm in pain" Victoria was weeping bitterly.She was terrified of what her mother would do to her now she found out she was still chasing after Angelo after she had sworn she wouldn't go close to the Delevonte brothers."What are you saying?

    Anger simmered through Valerie and he landed a slap against his face. David chuckled, running his hand through his hair. "You are a bastard""What are you doing here then? You should leave. Maybe I should listen to her and forget about you so you can be with your Lucio or whatever man you want to be with, besides, that's what Lucio wanted all along"Valerie pushed him, she landed another slap on his face. "Get out!""You are out of your mind, this is my house. You should leave if you don't want to stay"David steps aside waiting for her to leave but she doesn't make a move.

    Lisa was on a call when Ms. Wang walked towards her desk. She wasn't pleased to see Lisa. She had thought Lucio fired her as she had requested. Closing up on her, she cleared her throat."Lisa, is it?"Lisa didn't need to lift her face to know to put a name to that familiar voice. The tiny voice only belonged to one annoying woman and that's Ms. Elliott Wang."Alright sir, I will inform Mr. Delevonte" she hangs upMs. Wang scoffed. She couldn't believe Lisa would still be talking on the phone and not hang up at first glance."Didn't Lucio Inform you that we had a meeting?"Lisa glanced at the clock, the meeting was over an hour ago."That's an hour ago. Mr. Delevonte is not on seat""Oh really?" She glanced at her wrist watch. "Didn't you inform him we had a meeting""I'm sure Mr. Delevonte waited for you but you never showed up""I had to go to the salon"Lisa looked at the woman, she was better at spending and living an extravagant life than taking care of her father's company.

    "You have to fire that woman!" Ms Wang was fuming in Lucio's office. She wanted revenge against Valerie and she could only take it out on Lisa. She was on lower status and someone she could trample upon."You are still not making sense, what exactly did you say Lisa did?" Lucio has been watching the slim woman pacing around his office like a crazy fellow."What exactly is it you don't understand?""Everything. You've only been rambling""What? Rambling!""You better tell me what you came for or you leave, I have a lot of work to do""Lisa threw water at me. Look at me, I'm drenched and stinking"Lucio arched up his brow at her. He was aware Lisa resented Ms. Wang for what she did to her but she would not dare throw water at her. Lisa wouldn't jeopardize the image of the company. He studies the line on her face every crease that she was lying and there it was. The pretentious snake was lying."So you claim Lisa threw water at you right?""Yes""Who saw you?""A lot of people""Can you

"I have a meeting right now, maybe you should leave. I'm sure your little Mistress is dying to be in your arms right now"David runs his hand through his hair, taking slow steps closer to him.

    Walking into the living room with Lucio right behind him, Lisa tosses her bag on the couch and glares at Lucio."I know you are mad at me but you should please hear me out""Hear what out, you heard Valeria in there she is planning to leave with him, we could have stopped her""Yes, I heard her, which is what I had to do, how exactly are you planning to get her out of this marriage? You are not planning to abduct her, are you?" "No" Lisa blinked her eyes. She already knows that he had a point yet she couldn't bring herself to accept that truth. She was still mad at him for doing what he did to her. He broke his heart and now her mind that during the evaluation in the next couple of days, she was going to give her best."Then what would have been the plan? No one knows that her mind has changed and to think that she willingly gave herself to Jason" He was disgusted at the memory. "Valeria is making a big mistake here and you know it""Yes I know but I don't get why she will choose to

    Valeria wipes the tears trying to fall on her cheeks."I rekindled our vows the other night by giving myself to him"While Lisa shook her head, Lucio was disappointed by her actions. He never expected she would dare do such a thing after she professed her love to David. He let them into his house and concealed their secret. Anger seeped through Patricia as she landed a hard slap on her cheek. "You despicable slut" She was furious.Lisa was surprised by her action, Patricia has always been fond of her daughter since she took the steps to get married to Jason and has been looking for ways to get her out of this hellish marriage. Never did she think that her daughter would sell herself so cheap to anyone, much more to the same man who has done nothing else but hurt her since the first day that they met. "Don't you dare– " Jason was furious but Valeria was quick to cut him off by putting her hands on his chest calming him down but the motion did little to calm his nerves. Her actions s

    "Valeria" Patricia was heartbroken by her actions and thought she was doing this because he was threatening her. "You don't have to worry about anything, the lawyers are working on it and you can get a divorce from him""I don't want a divorce from Jason"Lucio's eyes widened as he looked at his childhood friend. Lisa equally did not see this coming and thought that she was bluffing but she wasn't at all. The look in her eyes was stern as she went to stand next to a grinning Jason."Yeah! Valeria, what are you saying? Have you forgotten what you wanted? You are not with Jason, you said those words to me" Lucio was confused. "I love my friend but is time to set things right and for you to be happy""I am happy" She was fighting hard not to let the tears fall on her cheeks. "You should all go""What?" Lisa scoffed. This was not her friend talking, this was someone else. This was not the person who wanted nothing more than to get away from Jason. Now she seems to be acting so differently
