Lisa Roberts was staring at David as he slept soundly on the bed, her heart squeezing watching her friend, he was sleeping with the hope that the woman he loves was still lying right beside him but he had no idea that she was gone. Last night wasn't just a passionate night but it was goodbye, the last time he would have to touch Valerie. Glancing at the wall clock, it was morning and the sun had come up, David would be waking up anytime soon and so Lisa got up from her seat and walked towards the curtain. It was another crimson-gray day and Lisa had to open the curtains. When the sun filtered through the window, David turned around and opened his eyes."Hey" Lisa could only say the one word that popped into his mind"Lisa" David's eyes widened and glanced around the room looking for Valerie. "You might want to grab your shirt"David reaches out for his shirt on the ground. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he puts on his shirt"I came here today""Where is Valerie?" David got
David was sitting in the bar drinking and crying when Lucio approached him."Hey, I got your text"David glares at him, the dangerous look in his eyes makes Lucio realize that something was wrong but he has no idea what it was, David had only texted the address of the bar to him and Lucio had to hurry over. He wanted to know why his friend has gone M.I.A for the past week."You must be happy now that you got what you want you punk?""What are we talking about?"David grinned. "Don't lie you bastard, I am aware that this was your plan, you are the one who made this plan, isn't it?""What plan are you talking about?""You already know what I am trying to say you punk""What's wrong with you David? Have you been crying" David's eyes were red and puffy because he has been crying ever since Lisa broke the news to him. He had taken the first flight back to New York and wanted to strangle Lucio. He hasn't even changed his clothes or tried to get to his apartment, he only wanted to drink him
"What did you just say?" Jason was furious, the look in his eyes terrifying. "I didn't mean to say anything" Valerie was scared, she trembled, attempting to stand up when he pressed her down. Jason mounts on top of her while pressing her down."Are you thinking about him?""No It was a mistake"Jason chuckled. He vowed not to beat her up again but that doesn't mean that he would tolerate her indiscipline. She was now his wife and he loved her, he wasn't going to let her spend the rest of their time together with Valerie always thinking about David. "You are pushing me to the wall Valerie""I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that"Jason groans while trailing his index finger on her face."I really want to rest" She whispers and he glared at her."Shut your mouth except you want to visit a face reconstruction by tomorrow morning""I'm sorry""I was about to be nice to you, I thought that you will get it in your head that there isn't a way that I will let you fall in love with David. I wa
"Who is knocking?""I don't know, you can go check it out" Lisa was walking towards her bed. Lucio tries to hold her but on a second thought lets her go and walks out of the room. When he was gone Lisa laid back on the bed but she wasn't sleeping, the only thing on her mind was David. She wanted to know how her friend was faring. Picking up her mobile phone she tried to call his line but it was going straight to voicemail. Not giving up so easily, Lisa tried calling him up again but then the same thing kept happening and so she lowered her phone to the bed stand. David needed some time alone at least. That was the only explanation she could give to herself to try and calm herself down. Tears crowd her eyes and once she was about to cry when she heard Lucio's voice coming from the living room. He was shouting at someone, the anger in his voice was so dangerous that Lisa couldn't ignore it any longer and so she got up from bed and hurried out of the room. She has not heard Lucio this
"Drink up now!" Lisa was daring. Sophia will have to drink up else she will chug it down his throat. Staring into Lisa's eyes while picking up the glass of water."Drink up" She tilts her head and Sophia quickly attempts to throw the water at her but Lisa has seen right through her and quickly dodges her, the water landed on Lucio. Sophia's eyes widened while Lisa smiled sinisterly."Lucio… Lucio I–""Lucio runs his hand through his face, his eyes darken and he glared at Sophia. The look in his eyes was so dangerous that it frightened Sophia and so she took a step backwards."Get out of my house before I kill you!" He yelled and she scurried off running out of his house and slamming the door."Goodbye" Lisa smiles while turning to Lucio. "She really did a number on didn't she? She must really come for seduction, how cheap" She walks away when Lucio grabs her arm."What are you doing?" She asked."Look here, what do you think you just did?""I saved you from getting drugged and turned
"What were you doing there?" Jason was standing by the door staring at her, her heart racing, she has no idea he has been standing there all these while. "How long have you been there?""Why? Have you been doing something stupid?" Jason was now walking closer to her and she tensed up, trembling with fear."No I was… I was…""Stop being scared of me Valerie"Valerie couldn't stop being afraid of him, she had a feeling he must have seen her taking those pills. If Jason found out she was on birth control pills, he was going to punish her. While they were dating, Jason hated wearing a condom and switched her birth control pills for women's supplements. That's why she took it and when she finally got pregnant, he would always beat her up."What are you doing here?""I woke up and you were gone, I was scared my love"Valerie wanted to roll her eyes, as if she could ever run away without getting captured."I'm never going to leave you Jason you made sure of that""Really? Well I just have t
When Valerie locks eyes with David and Lisa, her heart squeezes and she wants to run into David's arms and engulf him tightly but she couldn't bring her feet to move and so she stares at him. Her heart was bleeding seeing the man she loves yet she couldn't get close to him, Jason has forbidden her from getting close to her.Last night, he had caught her staring at David's picture and hit her. Valerie was falling sick but Jason didn't notice that, what he cared about was her body. No matter how many times she complained that she wasn't feeling fine, he wasn't going to listen to her. Valerie was never going to deny her body to him but she wasn't going to fall for him either. When he was on her, she would only be counting the number waiting for him to be done so she could hit the shower and massage her body."Valerie," Lisa said, breaking the awkward moment between David and Valerie. "Hey" Lisa was glad to hear her so she rushed towards her and engulfed her. Jason was already invisible t
"What is going on here?" Lucio asked as he stepped into Valerie's office. Jason's eyes widened but he was quick to comfort himself and rushed over to Valerie."Honey, are you alright?" Valerie glared at him and he squared his chin stubbornly whispering. "Lucio is here so you better not make him suspect anything" "I'm fine" Valerie smiles while trying to stand up. When an excruciating pain surges through her ankle she winces and reclines back to her seat."What is going on here? Valerie, are you alright?" Lucio asked as he drew further closer"Yes I am, I wasn't looking and I fell"Lucio throws a suspicious look at both of them, that wasn't what he saw but then he didn't really see all of it. What he saw was just Valerie crashing against the table, the force she landed could have only happened with gravity, which means she was pushed. Lucio glanced over to the spot Jason was standing before rushing over to Valerie, that was the perfect place to push someone."Are you sure you fell?"
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
