Turning around towards the door Lisa and Valerie gazes at Victoria. Her face was pale and she had dark circles around her eyes. For the past five hours, she has been held up in a meeting with her Manager. Her Manager wanted her to travel to the Philippines for a program but Angelo was not going to let her go on that trip alone. "Victoria, what are you doing here?" Valarie was surprised to see her sister standing in her office when she should be at work. It was working hours and Victoria was one of those women who pushed their schedule to the next day. Victoria couldn't, she loves to attend all her meetings and interviews before heading back to the house so she can have time for Henry. The bond between her and Henry couldn't be questioned, last night she slept with him in his bedroom since he was having nightmares and couldn't fall asleep.Angelo was not happy but Henry was his son and he had to give in to him."Am I not allowed to visit my sister?""Of course you are allowed, I'm jus
"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
When Lucio returned home that day, Lisa was nowhere to be found, she wasn't picking her and had sent him a text Indicating that she was going to be home late. After Lisa and Victoria arrive in Valerie's office, Valerie does not want to go back home and goes out to have fun with the girls. It seems everyone was running away from their own Problem and so Lucio jumped on that chance to conduct a search in Lisa's bedroom. He wasn't going to tell her but was going to make sure she wasn't keeping a secret away from her. He couldn't fathom why Lisa was trying to hide her family away from him. When he went through her bag and other stuff, there was nothing that would give him a clue what she was hiding. The only thing that was hidden was a photo of her mother, she was beautiful just like Lisa. Now Lucio knows where she got her beauty from.When he couldn't find anything, Lucio kept everything back in order and left the room to prepare dinner. He was in the middle of setting the table when t
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. Just a while ago, she was having a good time with Lisa and Victoria. Her sister lost her self control and was acting up a
"You haven't done anything wrong to me Victoria" Angelo leaned forward, he lowered his head towards her, his breath was soft on her cheeks. "I am the one who has wronged you in every possible way" The connection between them was undeniable yet Victoria turned a blind to it. The pain in her heart was deeper than any other emotions, she was trapped in her own world and thought that maybe moving in with him was going to make everything easy for her. She wanted to get away from the troubles at home, the pain of having to watch her sister get married to someone she doesn't love. Her Parents were having problems in their marriage and even after she spoke with Mr. Carnegie, he still wanted a divorce from Patricia. The situation cannot be helped even after Victoria has done everything within her power to try and settle the difference between them. Her father was still being hard headed. At first she wanted Valerie to talk to him since he always listens to her but then she remembered that
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. They were in a relationship so it was right for Lisa to notice the anger in his heart every time there was an attack on his life or property. His enemies were really looking for a w
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
