"We need to talk""We don't have anything to talk about, you already made that obvious this morning"David takes slow steps towards Valerie, her eyes not parting away from him."I'm serious Val""So is Val and not Valerie. You are hilarious, David""I'm sorry, I over reacted""You overreacted, I told you that she was lying but you didn't believe me. She wants you and you know it!" Valerie was furious.Now she was aware that Lisa isn't her problem, it's Ms. Wang. She wants what was hers and that is never going to happen. Valerie was not going to give David up to any woman. He was hers alone and no one was going to take him away."She doesn't want me""So now I'm Lying""That's not what I'm saying"She averts his gaze and picks up her mobile phone. "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. "Tell you what, why don't we have lunch""I'm no
"A lot of things Valerie. I know he wants the best for me but you are not going to hurt me are you" David was scared. He hasn't met Jason Brown but he felt so inferior towards him. He hated that he was the ordinary one who had nothing to his name but he had no idea, Jason had nothing to his name as well. The man was just an ordinary boy when Valerie was in a relationship with him."I would never hurt you. I love you David, have never said those words to anyone not even Lucio" Valerie may have chased Lucio Delevonte around but never did she say those magic words to him. It was David and no one else. "Sometimes I feel Lucio loves Jason more than he loves me. He wants him to be with you and not me""That's not going to happen, Jason's gone and if he is to come back, I will never return to you""He loves you," David admits. That was What Lucio told him. Whenever Lucio talked about his friend Jason, he described him with strong words and made the love sound so dreamingly. The kind of lov
Angelo entered his office as they broke away from each other. Lisa was ashamed to be caught by Angelo Delevonte. She wanted nothing but the ground to open and swallow her up. That would make things a lot easier for her. "I see you are busy" Angelo smirked."I was just leaving" Lisa scurries out of the office shutting the door before Lucio could say something else."You and Lisa" Angelo was surprised. His brother has always been the one who condemns office romance now he was doing the same thing he swore never to do."She is different from your Clarissa""She is not my Clarissa but Clarissa""So you and Clarissa""I need her, Lucio," Angelo said. Clarissa was good at her job but it wasn't just her job, she was equally good at other things. "I know you need her but does she need you?""That woman is in love with me" Even though Clarissa has not said a word about her feelings to Angelo. He saw right through her. She was in love with him but he just wasn't in love with her. He only ne
David entered into the office. He smiled seeing the two Delevonte brothers, is been awhile he saw them together especially Angelo. Lucio, he can see at any time but Angelo, he was like an American visa."What is that you want?" He asked again and Angelo smiled back at him."David" They two shook hands together while engaging in some brotherly embrace. "How long has it been?""A month or so, last I saw you was during the games and–""Saturday night game. We should do that again""Why don't Lucio host it" David said. "I hosted the last one""My house is full, Lisa is staying with me. You know that""What about you Angelo?" Lucio asked"Is not possible, you know Henry's over dia. I don't want him getting the wrong Idea""You can send him over to mom""Not happening, my son would rather go there willingly than be pressured to go anywhere"Henry hated going over to Margaret's place when he didn't want to go. He loved staying in his father's house and watching play them ping pong with Lucio
Lisa was cooking in the kitchen when Lucio returned. He had stayed up late in the office even after Angelo left. His conversation with David and Angelo got him thinking about Jason. There are times his friend was weird but that was Jason, he had a lot of things going through his mind.His friend has to think about his problem, his family and the children in his small town so he couldn't think of him as the bad guy. It was Valerie, this was all her. She was the only one to blame for their failed relationship and his friend's disappearance. That was what he told himself to get himself out of bed and move towards his door so he could leave and come home to Lisa but that didn't stop him from thinking about Lucio from wondering what happened to their relationship. He never saw Valerie with scars but she had no need for money. Her father gave her an allowance that was enough and she could shop with his card. But why was she asking for money?"You are home late""I had things to do" He tosse
Patricia was on a call when Angelo entered her office with a warm smile on his face. Alex was playing a dirty game but he was going to beat him to it."Mr. Delevonte, to what do I owe this visit?""Call me Angelo, Patricia. You always called me that when I was a boy""I loved you then, you were nothing like your brother, now you are just worse than he is"Angelo grinned as he walked closer to her. "You never liked my brother""Lucio is so full of himself" Patricia hated Lucio for rejecting his daughter and matching her daughter up with Jason. A man who wasn't of her clime and caliber. "I didn't come for my brother""What did you come for? I have appointments" Patricia glances at her wrist watch, she could spare Angelo some few minutes. "Is about your daughter""Victoria?"Angelo nods his head."She's still at the hospital with that cousin of yours. Remind me again why I don't like your family""Alex is nothing like my brother and I""Is that what you came to talk about?""I want yo
"Little slut? Where did that come from?"Lucio wanted to strangle the annoying woman. He couldn't believe she would dare show her face to him again after he warned her not to ever appear in front of him. "I came back to see you""You must be out of your mind""Lucio" She tried to touch him when he pushed her back and she stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground. The driver's eyes widened, he had never seen Lucio like this before. With Lisa, he was always soft and gentle. He wouldn't even want a scratch on her body. He was always protective of her and wanted the best for her."I'm sorry""Go to hell you bitch""I came back for you, isn't that what you wanted?""I don't want you Sophia Williams. You are dead to me""You still remember my name" Sophia grinned. She was hard to forget, Lucio couldn't just forget so easily. He used to be madly in love with her. He couldn't have just forgotten her. She still remembered how Lucio used to ring up her phone every now and then. He used
Lisa was at her desk when David approached her. He had a warm smile glued on his face. "The same tells me something good just happened" David couldn't fathom why he was very happy this morning. He made Valerie stop taking her pills and she agreed to moving in with him. He wanted to drive her to her apartment to pick up her stuff later in the day but Valerie insisted that she do it alone while David waited for her at home. "Valerie agreed to move in with me"Lisa's eyes widened. Their relationship was too good to be good. It was a whirlwind romance, everything was happening so fast that even Lisa herself started to wonder. She was happy for David and wanted the best for him but she still couldn't help but feel worried that he was going to get hurt. Not that Valerie was going to break up with him or anything. She was happy to be with him. Lisa saw it in her eyes when she left this morning after her meeting with Lucio ended but still. She just couldn't shake off this feeling. There wa
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
