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
It took me a long time to get away from Cape Dominic, The man who has held me captive for months, Exposing me to different kinds of experiments for his profit.I had to fake a headache and he allowed me to leave to get aspirin from the car. I hated him and I hated his guts.He watched on while I was chained to a wall and tortured. He watched on while I screamed out in pain in my shackled and bloody helplessness, He even took pleasure in the experiments carried out on me and laughed at my pain. As I studied the group of obnoxious and drunk Executive Directors, I decided I'd rather be somewhere else, With complete silence and serenity. I'd run from Dominic if I could, But I've tried many times and he's always found me and inflicted pain on me once again, Each one more intense than the last.I have no money to pay him off, I have no power to scare him away, and I'd probably be with him forever or till my body finally gives up fighting. I pushed through alone to the slap and st
As he pulled me from the chair, I felt my head banging and my head aching, I bled from my hands and legs and cuts littered my body like strokes on a book. He scowled and looked at me like I was trash. He picked me up with his hand and slapped me across the face, I was weak and about to give up when he brought out his whip, I closed my eyes, ready for the whipping sensationOne Two Three Whip! "Ahhh" I screamed out from my sleep and took heavy breaths. Footsteps hurriedly approached and Lucio showed up at my doorstep. He entered the room and saw me on the bed breathing hurriedly. Immediately, He ran towards me with a look on his face. It looked like he cared about me. "Hey, Look at me, Those thoughts and dreams aren't your reality anymore, You're with me, You're safe now, Okay ?" He said in a low voice. I felt safe when he comforted me"I'll lay you down, Okay? Now sleep, I'll stay here for a while "came his gentle voice. At first, I felt conscious in his presence but I later d
He looked up from his phone and caught me staring at him, I immediately averted my gaze to the glass behind him. "You like what you see?" He asked, smirking. The smirk for some reason annoyed me, And I wished I could wish it off his face. "Yeah, The glass behind you steals all the spotlight, I indeed like what I see" I replied sarcasticallyI remembered the scene with his girlfriend and it still nagged at me and I wanted to ask him about it, but I disregarded the thought immediately after it occur to me "Would you like me to get you a table and chair installed here or would you rather be a couch potato?" "I'll take the couch Anytime, any day. It's so comfortable. How much did you get? You know what, Don't Tell me, I don't want to feel guilty for sitting on it" He chuckled charmingly as I shrugged. The doors beeped again and a man, Presumably an employee, came in with files and smiled up at me before moving forward to Lucio"Hey there Lucio" He waved enthusiastically to Lucio "I
Lisa Roberts was trying to sort out some documents in Lucio's office when Margaret Delevonte barged into his office. Locking eyes with Lisa, she glared at her, disgusted by her sight. "And who are you?" Margaret was furious. He hated seeing women around her son. They were not good enough, the only one who was good for her son was Sophia. She was the woman she approved for her son to get married to. But Sophia wasn't in town and so Margaret had to keep other women away from her son. They were leeches who didn't know when to get lost. The worst of them all was Valerie, the slender blonde girl who was always throwing herself around her son and she hated it. She was disgusted by the woman and her family. Despite the fact that Valerie came from a higher social status, she still found her annoying and all."Who are you?" Her eyes were already shooting daggers at Lisa Roberts.Lisa stared at the unfamiliar woman, she was sure she wasn't one of the numerous women who came around the office.
"Lucio Babe!" Valerie was loud as she entered the office. She almost sank into the ground seeing Margaret. She was glaring at her and Valerie wanted to turn around and leave. "It is you again!""Oh hi Mrs Delevonte. Is so nice to see you here""I'm not happy seeing you right here"Lucio laughed. His mother hated Valerie and she didn't fail to show it. Valerie wasn't a nice girl but she was his friend. They went to college together and Valerie dated his roommate Jason even though she was secretly in love with him. She was the reason Jason left. He didn't even graduate from college. Lucio had tried calling him but Jason never picked his call nor returned any of his mails. He tried looking for him but Jason didn't want to be found. He went M.I.A and no one heard anything from him. His family said they had no idea where he was but Lucio didn't believe them.They were lying since no one reported him as missing. Jason blamed him for his failed relationship with Valerie but Lucio had no ide
Lisa was sitting on her desk when the telephone rang."Hello""Come to my office now"Lisa rolled her eyes, so much for having a boss. Lucio was sweet to her at times but he was equally annoying and all. There are times she wanted to do a lot of things but then he would stop her. Sometimes he was overly demanding and nagged a lot like a woman. She was complaining but she wasn't the only one who was complaining about the rich arrogant man. Though most people complained about him, some also wanted to be close to him. He was a handsome man and was popular among the ladies that was why his mother wanted him to get married as quickly as possible. She wanted Sophia, a woman who was of her clime and caliber."Yes Mr. Delevonte"Lucio glared at her, he already warned her to drop the formalities when they were together but Lisa wouldn't do that. Lucio was her boss and the last thing she wanted was to be the topic of discussion for her colleagues. They loved to gossip, especially the women in
Lucio couldn't fathom how he was sitting in the middle of a boring dinner with his mother and William's family chatting like they were friends. "So Lucio, I heard you are planning to spread your wings across Africa?"Lucio wasn't even paying attention to them, he was still thinking about Lisa and Mike together on a date. His mind was playing dirty tricks on him and he was imagining things that he wasn't sure was going to happen. Lisa was a responsible and decent woman so she couldn't just give herself to Mike on a first date but then, Mike was a man like him.Men are different beings, they love to possess even on a first date, he wasn't the kind of man who would love to take a woman to bed on their first date but there was men like Jason: Handsome, charming, who oozed of sexual appeal and so they wouldn't pass off to take a woman out on their first date. Jason took Valerie to bed on their first date. Lucio thought. His friend had lied about having an extra shift at work but then he

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
