MR ONE-SIDED LOVE "You mean you are Cesare's wife?". Nathalia asked, perplexed and happy at the same time. Leniela nodded as she took the tray from her and placed it by the side of the bed. "How come he didn't tell me he got married?" Nathalia asked with a frown. Yesterday during lunch, Rico had assured her that she could go visit Nathalia anytime she wanted and the guards wouldn't tell Cesare nor prohibit her. He also said he would give them a tip whenever he and Cesare were heading back home so she doesn't get caught. "I'm sure he was waiting for the right time to tell you besides you've been angry with him lately so how is he supposed to?" Leniela lied, fixing the pillow so she could lay back on the bed comfortably. "But that's only because he hurt you". She replied. Leniela smiled. "I know but try giving him another chance. He feels hurt each time you ignore him". She advised and Nathalia nodded. "Only if he apologizes". Nathalia strongly replied. I bet that will never h
A NEW BEGINNING. "I really felt pity for the male lead though even though he rescued his father he wasn't able to bond with him for long. It's so sad". Nathalia pouted bitterly as she stared at the closed book before biting from the apple Leniela had given her. "It's saddening but it's a nice book". Leniela commented, chewing on her own apple. Just like the past days, she had closed work very early and decided to pay Nathalia a visit with a bowl of fruits. A Lot of things have improved with Nathalia; she eats more often, smiles a lot and the surprising thing that happened today is that she opened her curtains, she also became more chatty. As for her physical appearance, there wasn't any improvement. The past days weren't exactly what she would consider good. Although she tried so hard to act normal with everyone, the rest of her friends, especially Emma, still noticed and bugged her about it earlier today. It was difficult hiding her new discovered feelings for Cesare but she had
TAMING HER Just like the past days, Cesare and his men had already finished emptying his warehouse and prepared the merchandise for delivery before returning home. Talking out some details with Rico, he was headed inside the mansion when from the corner of his eyes he spotted a strange something or rather someone. Before he could ignore it by waving it aside, his legs were already taking a different turn towards the garden area. "What the fúck is going on here?". His cold manly voice thundered, fiercely approaching the girls. Though Leniela was prepared for this scenario already, her heart and buttocks on the chair suddenly became uncomfortable. The look on his face could dry up a wet field in an instant. Lilian on her path was already shaking like a cocoyam leaf. "Where are the guards? Why is Nathalia outside?". He raved. One of the guards who had followed the two girls from Nathalia's room and kept watch on them from afar summoned courage and ran towards them. "We are s
TEAM CESEILA "What's happening?" Cesare asked as he approached the rest of them. Apart from the table which was full with all sorts of Italian delicacies, he was completely stunned to see Nathalia occupying one of the seats. "Have a seat first figlio (son)". Alfredo softly said and Cesare attempted to take the seat beside Nathalia when she placed her hand and Cesare frowned. "Your seat is right here" she tapped the chair on her right which Cesare had clearly ignored. "Beside your wife". Cesare chose to obey her by pulling the chair and occupying it, making the others chuckle except Leniela who had begun feeling a little uncomfortable but she tried her best to be composed. Lilian and some maids immediately began serving them when it was Leniela and Cesare's turn, Nathalia halted them. "Do you mind serving Cesare,Lenie? Someone told me he ate a lot the last time you did". Nathalia said with a tease but Cesare just ignored her. Leniela nodded and began filling his plate. When she
SATISFIED MIND, CRAVING HEART. "Ehmm!. Time is running out guys". Nathalia screamed and the two quickly composed themselves before standing up. Cesare handed her the last piece and she filled the empty spot. "It's all done". Nathalia moved to them and inspected it. "Congrats team Ceseila, you won the game!". "But Dad's team completed theirs first". Leniela stated. "Sure, ours was simple that's why we finished up early but you guys deserve the prize for tackling this one". Savina explained and Nathalia nodded in affirmation while Nathalia mouthed an 'oh' Cesare's eyes moved to the other side of the table, he frowned. How come theirs was very simple?. The number of pieces were small as compared to theirs and it was easy to say just from looking that it was a picture of a sleeping tiger. "So this was all a set up to get the two of us together." He thought inwardly with a devilish smirk. Did his Dad and the others think this stupid game would make him fall for her?..Well, He
AN UNSUCCESSFUL PLAN A "Good morning dear brother". Nathalia's chirpy voice greeted, aproaching Cesare who had just stepped out of his office and was about heading downstairs. "Nathalia? Why are you up so early? Is something wrong?". Cesare asked with furrowed brows as he led her hug him. He patted her hair. Nathalia disengaged from the hug. "I wanted to make sure you didn't leave for work without me noticing. Just please go get your wife and I'll be waiting downstairs". Cesare frowned. "You can tell me what it is without her here". Nathalia shoke her head. He sighed. " I'll send some one to get her, let's go downstairs". "You should wake her up yourself, it will be cute to see the both of you decending the stairs". She smiled and quickly disappered from his sight before he refuse. With no other choice, Cesare helpless turned and with a few strides he was already pushing the door knob to open his bedroom door. "Aggh!". A loud ear piercing sound welcomed him immediately
PLAN B AND C. "What are we doing here girl?We've been here for about thirty minutes now just doing nothing. I have a job and a very nasty boss". Martina complained for the hundredth time. The black car was parked a certain distance away from a certain shop which Martina had read it's letters earlier out of boredom. The name itself brought instant craving for some freshly baked pastries. "If you're bothered about that small chips paying job of yours I can get you another". The lady growled in annoyance as her eyes stayed focused in front. She wasn't offended. "Look If whatever you're planning has to do with that mafia dude of yours then count me out". Savina clarified. She knew it was only that would make her friend so determined to do or see whatever it is she wanted or was waiting for. Seeing that she didn't bother denying what she just said, her eyes slightly widened. "Don't tell me you are planning on doing something to that eighteen year old girl!". Her smirk confirmed h
ANOTHER PETTY FIGHT. "Finally the day is over!". Leniela squeaked, stepping out of the shop with her hand bag. "That's right". Aldo, who was locking the door, affirmed. "I'm surprised to see that you are closing the shop this early knowing how much of a workaholic you are". She commented with a teasing smirk. Aldo smiled. "Well, tomorrow is Saturday and we don't usually open the shop as early as other days so I thought of taking a long rest today so I can do some laundry as I will be busy on Sunday". He replied. "You got a date?". She asked teasingly. Aldo wiggled his head smiling. "Just a few things to sort out". Leniela nodded in understanding. "Do you still feel any pain?". He asked as his eyes lowered on her leg. Leniela performs a small leg stretching exercise. "Not really which is all thanks to you". She smiled appreciatively. "I'm happy to be of help. Honestly with how things happened earlier I would think the driver did it intentionally". He pointed out. Leniela's
