"Lucio, what are you doing here?" Angelo asked, seeing his brother standing at his doorstep giving that same old look he often gives him when he was in distress with Sophia. Angelo could sense that his heart was in anguish, he was troubled and couldn't focus on anything at work and so he seeked an easy way out. He was the kind of man who loves running away to a quiet place when Problem seems too much and he just wants to think.

Taking solace when having problems in your relationship was the only way to figure out the right thing to do, his father has taught him that and Lucio never failed to apply all that his father taught him in his relationship.

Even though his relationship with Sophia was a flop, it never should have started in the first place and Lucio was the only one who wasn't seeing what was happening. He was blinded by the love that he felt for Sophia, it was that drive that nearly turned him into a foolish man and he couldn't see past the fact that she was a cheating woman

    Glancing at the wrist watch as Valerie walked in through the door, her heart pounds heavily as sweat forms on her forehead. The living room was dark and quiet, the only sound she could hear was the ticking sound of the wall clock. When her eyes fall on a shadow standing by the doorstep, she halts and the lights come on. "Jason" She whispered her breathing was synthetic.He stood by the door staring at her without blinking nor saying a word. Her feet were glued to the ground, she couldn't bring her legs to move forward."What are you waiting for?" Jason asked, seeing that she wasn't about to move forward anytime soon."You… i…""Come on my love" Jason was calm, he only wanted her to come closer but Valerie was scared. She couldn't bring her feet to move, the only thing that she wanted to do was stay put. "Do I have to come close""No you don't" She shook her head.

    When the day rises to another crimson-gray day, Lucio sits in the cafe sipping a hot coffee. He had a meeting this morning so he skipped breakfast. After the long night with Lisa, he was intending to crawl back in bed with her but she was exhausted from having to do a lot last night. Last night burned with Passion, emotion, desires and love. The sexual chemistry between them was pronounced, even at work everyone was noticing the way Lucio was looking at his secretary. No one has ever seen him look at anyone with so much love and fire-filled lust. When the rumors about Lucio being in love with Lisa spread around the office, David, who returned back to working for Lucio almost had most of his colleagues who were directed under him dismissed for being lax and a nuisance to the company. Since that particular situation, no one has dared talk about Lisa. Everyone went about their daily life pretending not to notice the obvious smile Lucio was passing at her whenever they were in a meeting

    When Lucio arrived in his warehouse, he was surprised that half of the building was already blown up. His enemies must have thought he would come around his warehouse since he was now exploring other business and expanding the Delevonte family line. "Lisa" As her eyes fell on him walking out of his car, she rushed towards him and engulfed him tightly. Lisa always has a soft spot for her and it wasn't just because of the date. She was in love with him, that was not deniable but when Lucio was around, she lost her will and always wanted to be around him. He doesn't push her away since he was in love with her as well. That wasn't just why she was embracing him with so much warmth. Once she laid her eyes on him, she saw his pain and everything else, he was one of the few people she could see right through.

    When Valerie walked in through the door, her heart raced as she entered the living room. The meeting with Lucio ended rather quickly but thankfully he left almost immediately after swearing not to tell Jason about her pills. She just didn't even want to think about what he was going to do to her for lying to him. Lucio made a mistake by telling Jason but she couldn't be mad at him. He was not the only one to blame for any of this. She was the one who lied to Jason in the first place. If she was a little honest in her words then maybe she won't be entering her house like a criminal. She was scared of what he might do to her.Fear engulfs her skin as sweat forms on her forehead. Her heart races with every step she takes into the house. Jason wouldn't have accepted that she went over to meet Lucio. He would have told her to come up with an excuse to meet him and so she had to lie. She equally wanted to leave the house so early without having to sit in the dinning having breakfast as if

After the attack on them, he was distressed just thinking about the attempts on his life these past few months. Most of which he could have fallen a big victim if it hadn't been for Lisa, she was always around to rescue and save him from his distress. When he got back home, Lisa sensed that he was downcast and dived into work. Since he worked from home that day and avoided going to work that day, he was held up on a conference call with one of his clients.When Lisa saw that even after the call, he was sitting in his office staring at blank documents moodily, she had to do something, his distress affected her greatly and she had to find a way around to relieve him of his pain. There was so much she could do for him but it just can't be anything, he was special and for so long and for so long she cannot even remember the last time she did something for him. He

    When Lisa picked up the call talking with Victoria, Lucio watched her silently, there was something about the way she was talking with victoria that set him off.He studied the lines on her face, every crease as he tried to figure out what was running through her head. She was deeply engrossed in their conversation. The call was taking a very long time and so Lucio helped out himself by savoring the remaining pancakes. He did a good job and was aware that Lisa enjoyed her breakfast with the manner she was licking her maple syrup on her fingers.As the aroma lingered in her nose again, her attention shifted to the six feet man nibbling on her food while staring at her as if he wouldn't want to be caught. Lisa doesn't want to be detracted and so she turns the other way. He glanced over her and wiping his hand walked closer to her laying soft kisses on her exposed back, Lisa paused and pushed him away but Lucio was not giving up. Though he was interested in their conversation had a fee

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
