Lucio was in the living room working on a project when Lisa strides out from her bedroom, dressed up and sauntering towards the door. He looked up at her, wondering where she was going. It was one of the cold nights in the bustling city of New York. "Where are you going?" Lisa ignored him. She wasn't going to give him an explanation of where she would or wouldn't be going to. She was still mad at him for choosing Elliott Wang over her. Not that she was anything to him but she thought she was special or at least important in his life. "Lisa" Lucio could sense that she was still mad at him. She had avoided him at the office as if he was a plague and he was tired of it. They would have to talk at some point so they better talk about everything before tomorrow when Ms. Wang comes over to his office to sign the rest of the contract. Without saying a word to him, she walks closer to the door. This causes Lucio to lower the document down, his adrenaline rushes up. "Lisa! Am I not talking
Valerie felt horrible, the look on David's face as he left her house made her feel so bad that she broke down into tears. That wasn't her plan, she wanted him to try and woo her over again. To chase after her like he used to but David was tired and hurt. When she said she had used him, the only thing he could feel was pain. He wanted to ask her what he has to do to earn her love but he felt so low of himself and had to leave. She runs her hand through her hair. Valerie had got to find David before he did anything stupid. She wanted him to make sure he was okay and so she got up and picked up her phone. She tried calling him up but he wasn't picking up her call. After many attempts, she gives up and calls up Lucio. "Hello Valerie" Lucio wasn't sounding like himself from the other end. "Are you alright?" "Yes I am""Do you have any idea where David might be?""In his house""Where does he reside? Can you send his address over""Why? Did something happen?"Valerie wanted to tell Luc
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
Valerie barged into the private room where Victoria was staying. After getting off from Delevonte corporation, she had gotten a call from Alex that her sister was in his hospital. She came rushing down to the hospital, Valerie hated herself for missing her sisters calls and not returning any back."Victoria" Her eyes widened seeing Victoria lying on the bed, her ankle still swollen. Thankfully, her mother had tried to keep the media out of this so no reporter was crowding outside the hospital. She strides towards her and engulfed her but Victoria pushed her away. This was all her sister's fault. She called her that night and went to her apartment so she could hide from her mother Patricia but Valerie had gone looking for David and didn't pick her calls. She left her a lot of voicemails but she hasn't even listened to anyone. David had preoccupied her that night and she had lost herself while in his arms. Valerie's eyes widened, her sister was rejecting her again like she did when s
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? I am your brother, I will never hurt you my dear" Patricia was putting on an act in front of everyone and she hoped Angelo wasn't falling for her mother's schemes."I think you should leave now or I swear I will call security and have you thrown out""You have no right to do that, she is my daughter""She is my patient and I will protect her" Alex was hell bent on protecting
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. He tried to walk away when she quickly held his arms. Valerie kissed him and he pushed her back, staring into her eyes. He couldn't resist this woman no matter how many times he has tried to forget about her.He gently wraps his hand around her neck and captures her lips once again. Valerie tries to fling her arms around his neck but he holds her arms, pinning it against the wall. "What do you want?" He was tryin
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. She
After the evaluation was done at the law firm, Lucio Delevonte knew that his enemies were angry since they had failed in their assassination attempts during the first evaluation. Another evaluation was going to be carried out in the firm and they will come together as usual to form another plan to take him out of the picture but first they needed to take the one who keeps protecting out of the picture and that was Lisa. His enemies meticulously plan the attack and this time Lisa is taken unaware as the fire breaks in the firm, she was trapped as everyone else had gone out of the building but she was working on some document and so she stayed back. As the fire spreads quicker than expected Lisa couldn't get to the stairs nor could she shift into something else. The camera was on so she couldn't expose Lucio. Deep down she already knew that it was his enemies who were doing this yet she didn't think so as she was running around trying to get away. However, just when she was giving
When David opened the door, he was surprised to see Valeria standing at his doorstep. She was crying and looking at him pitifully and just engulfed her without having to ask her what was going on with her."Are you alright? Of course you are not alright" holding her he leads her into his apartment, helping her recline back to the couch. He couldn't tell what was wrong with her and didn't know if he should ask her. All he wanted was for her to be alright and for him to get back with her. David loves her ever since she was mad at him and wanted nothing more to do with him, he stayed back home while trying to find out other things he can do in order for him to earn her forgiveness."I slept with Jason" She stated that Lisa and Lucio must have kept that away from David. "He is your husband" He was hurt but it was pointless. They were married so it was only right that she fulfills her duty."No you don't understand I was mad at you for what you did and so I wanted to get back at you so th
Jason walked around his house, the love of his life had departed and wasn't coming back to him, and as if that wasn't enough, she was divorcing him. That was the text message her lawyer sent to him, he has tried to talk to her but has failed so many times. Valeria was not going to talk to him after discovering that she slept with Sophia. That was the last person she imagined he would ever cheat on her with. Not that she thought he would ever cheat on , she thought that with the way he professed his love for her she was the only one that he was in love with. As memories of Valeria shot through his head, he felt like dying, he couldn't fathom how it got to this point, they were happily planning their move, she was finally starting to feel something for him after all these years. Anger simmered through him as he stared at the reflection of himself through the big mirror. His woman was gone, the house just didn't feel empty, it was empty and the only thing he could do was walk around whi
As Sophia stepped out of her , she walked toward the black tinted Suv and knocked on the window which only made Lucio step out of his car, as she locked eyes with him, shs shot a smile at him but he frowned at her, the nerve at this woman to smile at him as if the were friends. He thought“Lucio” She whispered, staring into his eyes hoping that he would look at her with the same emotions that he used to but lucio could never, he wasn't in love and doesn't want to have anything to do with her.“Have you told her?” She nodded her head, the smile not parting from her face. “Valeria knows that i slept with Jason, she must be on her way to confront him”He clenched his jaw since Jason was playing a dirty game he decided to give him a taste of his medicine. When he found out that his cousin slept with Sophia, he realized that Jason might not be an exception Sophia was always fond of him when they were in a relationship. He had to confront Sophia, at first she tried to deny it all but when
The past few days have been hectic at the company as she had a lot to do so that she will be able to move her company to LA. Jason was bringing over his lawyers to the house for her to meet with them and she had come to work trying to sort out so many things.Ever since the visit by her mother with Lisa and Lucio, Jason was hellbent on proving to her that he was the right one and that is what made her stay with him. Jason was a good man if he wasn't consumed by jealousy and wasn't suspicious of her having other things to do with other men even when she wasn't doing anything. Picking up a document a lot of emotions ran through her eyes as she stared at Lucio's name on the papers, she was going to miss having anything to do with him but this was the only way she can forget David and not think about him. He hurt her and she hurt him back, they were never meant to be. She thought as she lowered down the document when a soft knock came on the door. Lifting up her eyes to the door, Sophia
Sophia William was around in her office, she was pained by everything that was happening in her life. On the one hand, she was about to lose the man that she was in love with, and on the other hand she was mad at Valeria Carnegie for making Lucio hate her even more, now that he doesn't want to see her shadow or want to have anything to do with him. Anger seeped through him as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she ran her Index finger up her jawline when Ingrid Williams entered the room."Breakfast is ready honey""I already told the lady that I am not hungry""Your father is very worried about you, you should have something to eat""No Mother you don't have to be worried about me, I am not just hungry that's all""You didn't have dinner with us and now breakfast tell me what's going on because I am very worried about you" Her mother was not about to give up as she plopped down on her bed while staring at her this whole time as Sophia sobs. The pain in her heart was excrucia
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
