"Jason, you are stepping out of line" That was the only thing that Lucio could do at that moment. He was trying to protect Valeria even though Jason was not telling a lie. Somehow he figured it out and he wondered how. Lisa will be the last person who will tell Jason and it wasn't him as well. No one knows David was in his apartment since he had come disguised as a maintenance company."Out of line? You think I am out of Lucio? I am not in line, I know he slept with Valeria probably after your meeting. She left the house for a meeting and arrived late Lucio""The meeting finished very late and it rained, there was traffic on the road and you know it so don't belittle her" Lucio was hell bent on protecting her until the very end. If Jason figures it out, this might be the end of Valeria then the promise that he made to Lisa will be in vain. Lisa, when that name shot through his mind, he knew he had to push it away else he would not be able to focus on what was happening right in front
When Lisa locked eyes with the woman who wanted the man that she was in love with and his mother was in support. She became jealous and disheartened as Sophia Williams stood on the last floor, a smirk dancing on her lips. Lisa wished she could wipe that stupid smirk off her face then she wouldn't hesitate. This woman was unbelievable and cannot seem to get it that Lucio Delevingne was not Interested in her. Turning towards her, Lisa stomped her feet on the ground as she jolted closer to her."What are you doing here?'"You are in no place to ask me any question, just so you are forgetting you are just his secretary and not his wife"Lisa wanted to admit it but kept silent. Lucio was acting very strange, she wasn't sure the reason for it. Admitting to Sophia that she was going to be his wife when their relationship was almost falling apart felt stupid. Lucio was becoming impossible so she wouldn't want to claim to have worn the crown only to have it taken away from her very soon.That
Sophia was glad to see that when she rushed out of Lucio Delevonte's office, Lisa was not sitting at her desk as she used to. Taking that as her cue to get far away in order to hide her shame, she fled as much as her feet could carry her. When Lisa walked back into her desk, her heart beat pulsated as she glanced at his door. Was he still with her? She thought. This was the last time he was going to treat her like some garbage. She was trying to reach out to him, to tell him all about her plans for them to be one. She couldn't still believe that he was distancing himself from her. If he wants a break up he can just say the word and she will understand. She was going to survive though she will never fall in love with another man. This was going to be the last that she gives her heart to a man only for it to be shattered. Glancing at his door, she did not even stop to think that she was with another woman, Lisa walked into his office. He was alone and so the anger blazing through her e
"David" Lisa whispered, glancing at David, realizing that Victoria had the same look on her face. Right there she had a feeling that maybe they might know each and she was missing each other."You two know each other?""The thing is… I…" Victoria glanced around, she couldn't believe that she would get to see David again after all this time. He has never crossed her mind but she has never forgotten about that one moment with him either. That moment opened her eyes and made her stand up to Angelo. If it hadn't been for her bravery then perhaps this relationship with Angelo would never have worked. Clarissa will still be hovering around him and she will still be kicked aside like some trash."Do you two know each other?" Lisa asked again wondering why they were so silent and staring at each other as if they had never seen each other in such a long time. "What are you talking about? We do not…""Yes we know each other" David was quick to say, Lisa already caught on to them, it will be p
When Valeria returned from work that day, she was caught up in the rain since she had to meet up with Lucio in his office. David wasn't there and so she had no reason to meet up with him outside the restaurant. Lucio was still his usual self and wouldn't tell Valeria what was wrong with him even though she pressed so hard on him to tell her. As Valeria stepped right into her apartment, anger seeped through her, she wanted to stop returning to this house but there was nothing that she could do. She is still married to Jason and David hasn't been able to find a way for her to divorce him so that her father won't end up getting hurt. They haven't spoken about the case and Lucio had not told her anything even when she asked. She was desperate, every day she had to return back to him was hell yet she had to contend with it. The other day he had taken her out to dinner despite her objections. Jason never believed her when she admitted to him that she was sick and needed to take care of he
Lucio was sitting in a cafe waiting for his cousin to finally arrive. These past few days have been hell for him and Lisa. She finally admitted that she wasn't going to ask him what was wrong with him again and gas stayed away from him. Lisa was a woman of her world, since he was acting indifferent towards her and wasn't speaking to her, Lisa has decided to stay on her own, devoting her attention to caring about him and protecting him. Her Silence and withdrawal from him was killing him as well even though he will never admit it at least not to Lisa. The daughter of the man that he despised the most now. "Lucio"He does not need to turn around to know that his cousin was standing behind him. He has been so carried away that he didn't even realize that he had arrived and was standing behind him."What can I get you?""You don't have to worry about me Man and tell me what it is, you sounded urgent on the phone"Lowering his coffee on the table, he takes a sip of the hot black coffee."
Lucio understood how she felt. He was in the same shoes she wore years ago when he found out that Sophia was cheating on him. At first he did not believe those words and thought there must be an explanation for it. However, when he realized that there was no explanation and Sophia was cheating on him with so many men, even her professors. He made up his mind to break up with her and forget everything about her. She didn't even ask for forgiveness but kept denying the accusation so shamelessly. Sophia thought that Lucio cannot do without him and will keep coming back to her no matter what. Lucio proved her wrong when he went over to his Grandmother's place to recuperate, it wasn't easy for him at all but eventually he forgot about her and everything that has to do with her."You should hear them out""What about you and Lisa?" Valeria was hoping it won't result in the worst and they will have to break up. "Lisa and I," He smiled. He had already made up his mind that he was going to ta
Valerie could not contain the glee on her face as they drove to Angelo's apartment. Lucio defended her there. That was something that she never expected since his mother was around. Lucio was not afraid of anyone, he was just like his brother, he told her that a lot of times they did business together and even when he said those words to her, he meant it. However, now she was just a good friend to a woman that he was in love with and the woman who makes her boyfriend's heart beat. When they got to the apartment, Henry was playing a video game with Victoria. She had canceled her schedule for the day to go stay with him since was not in town and was only going to get back today. He went with Clarissa despite her objections, Victoria doesn't want to keep fighting with him and lets him do as he pleases so it won't be as if she was jealous and nagging. When Henry saw that she was sad and downcast, he made her play games with her so that he could get to put a smile on her face.When the d
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
