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
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
