"I went on a date talking about my ex!" She finally says. It was hard talking about Khan. He was that delicate part of her life that she wanted to forget. Mike had to just bring him up. She didn't blame him for bringing it up, he was only trying to help since it was a message from Khan directly. So he had to deliver it to her."Your ex?""Yes we went on a date talking about a professor I dated""You dated a professor?""Yes I dated a professor and I know what you are thinking. I was 23 and he was 39 so it wasn't that bad''"Well it was bad""It was he broke up with me and all"Lisa could still remember it all, that night she had gone to his apartment to surprise him but he didn't let her in. He kept her by the doorstep. Lisa suspected that a woman was with him in his bedroom but there was no woman. It was just him and a bottle of alcohol. The look in his eyes that night was enough to tell her to turn around and leave but she didn't. She stood there with a wrapped up box of pizza and
Margaret doesn't need to turn around to put a name to that familiar voice. It was no other than her rebellious son Angelo Delevonte."What do you want her to call you mother?"Margaret turned around locking eyes with Angelo. His gaze was cold and wicked as he drew nearer to him."Angelo, son!"Lisa rolled her eyes. Margaret was a pretentious woman. She knows how to put up a good act but good thing Angelo heard it all. Lisa hasn't met Angelo but she has heard Lucio talk about his brother all the time. She could tell he loved him. "Why are you causing a scene mother?""I wasn't causing a son. I was only asking to speak with your brother""He's in a meeting I'm sure Lisa must have told you that""Oh! That's her name" Margaret couldn't hide her contempt.That didn't bother, she was the mother of the man she was working for. The one who saved her from the hands of those trying to end her life by taking her to that laboratory."Yes and you should have known that if you weren't rude""I was
Valerie stomped her feet on the ground striding towards the door as the doorbell rang. She scoffed as her eyes fell on the wall clock, it was late in the night. Valerie hated late night visitors. She lived alone ever since her roommate got married and moved across the country. Now she was living alone in her condo. Reaching the door, she yanked the door wide open exposing a delivery man. She arched up her brow at the unfamiliar man. He wasn't the same delivery man that came around yesterday or has been coming around rather frequently but she hadn't paid any attention to them. Valerie wasn't like Lisa. She talked a bit too much and wasn't a calculative or smart woman. The only thing she was good at was fashion, business and men. Well she was good at making men fall for her, all men except Lucio Delevonte.Oh Lucio! He would never fall for her since she dated his friend and he loved her but as his sister. There was nothing that was going to ever happen between them. "I didn't order a
David couldn't fathom why he was still madly in love with Valerie. She treated him like trash and didn't fail to humiliate at any chance she got. His heart squeezed and bled as it beat. She was back with Damien. He wasn't a good man, David had seen him with a lot of women in the past and was certain he hadn't changed but Valerie still chose him.First it was Jason, then Lucio and now Damien. When is it ever going to be his time? He blamed himself, maybe he should have been into as a socialite or be like Jason then maybe Valerie would look at him. Right there, he hated himself and didn't want to go home. The only thing he wanted to do was forget about what happened at her house. He couldn't go back home and be alone in his apartment; neither could he call Lucio.He would tell him to forget about Valerie and even option to set him up on a date with other women. Lucio doesn't want to hear him talking about Valerie, in his eyes, she was still Jason's girlfriend. A man he knows nothing abo
Without having to turn around, David could put a name to that familiar voice tight behind him, her heels clicking on the ground as she walked closer to them."What girl did you meet yesterday?"David was furious. Valerie was asking her some silly question as if he owed her an explanation, lest she forgot. She threw him out of her apartment and humiliated him in front of beloved Damien."I wasn't talking to you Valerie"Lisa looked at the lovebirds, they seem to be having some couple issues. Not like they were a couple or anything.David glanced back at Lisa who was eager to see them spar. "I will see you around""Aren't you going to wait for Lucio?" Lisa purposely asked. She wanted him to stay. She enjoyed watching both of them spar more than she enjoyed streaming Netflix."No I'm not" David was quick to say. He could see right through her cunning mind. Lisa was a Cunning but very smart woman, she was observant and didn't waste time studying humans. Back in highschool, some people tho
Angelo Delevonte was on a call with an investor when Victoria Carnegie barged into his office with Carissa right behind her, trying to stop her from entering Angelo's office but she was already inside and glaring at the cold man. "My secretary will send you the documents, go through it and let me know if there's anything you would like for me to change" Angelo lowers the telephone down to the table, he locks eyes with Victoria. "That's all right Carissa you may leave us alone"Carissa glared at Victoria, turning her heels and she left his office shutting the door. She was his secretary of over three years who was secretly in love with Angelo. Ever since his wife Hannah died, she had been his bedmate and was hoping that he would be her life partner. Angelo cared more about the sex than he cared about her, he was never going to marry another woman and replace Hannah. That was not going to happen, not when he was still hung up on her and still had his wedding ring on his finger."What a
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
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
