"What party?"

Kay toppled over some books on my desk, I stared at her hoping for an explanation prior to what she just said.

"Corby is holding a party. Heard from one of the director of the boards that it's celebrating our collaboration with RR enterprise"

I sucked in a breath. How come I didn't know of this. And if there is really going to be a celebration party, Fabrico might be there. That's if he doesn't send Karen to come in-stead of him.

Kay waved her hands in front of me several times. "Earth to Selene"

"Well then, that's good" I flipped my laptop on getting down to work. I have up to hundred emails. Most from buyers of our product.

Kay took the seat in front of my desk. "Whoah, hold up. That sounds like you're not going for the party"

"What's the need?"

"You were the one who struck the deal and you know Corby would love for you to

    "You still won't tell me how you got this dress right?" Kay poked at my side. I shoved her hand away, moving away from the mirror. I just couldn't stop staring at myself and the more I stared, the more I felt it wasn't me. I've hidden myself for so long to even know what I really look like. I'd began to forget that my hair was black and not red."Take that wig off and let me do your hair""No. The wig stays" I stood my ground but it seemed Kays ground was higher because she reached over to me and ripped the wig off of my head."Let go of this for a while. How bout tonight huh?" Her hands rubbed both sides of my shoulder gently."Fine. But after tonight, I'm going back to my wig and eyeglass""You can even wear your suits, I don't mind. But let go for tonight, Selene" She kissed my cheek before pulling me back to the mirror and sitting me down. Standing behind me, she held the stretch

    I know I'm damn right going to answer a lot of questions from Kay by tomorrow but for now, all I'm set on doing is meeting Fabrico at that hotel. I was in a cab on my way to Paramount hotel. My phone vibrated in my purse, I slid it out to see Corby's name on the screen.Groaning inwardly, I don't know what I'm going to tell him when I pick this call. Firstly, he'd ask me where I am and why I left. The phone stopped ringing."Pine street?" The Cab man asked again for assurance and I nodded."724 Pine Street" I said. My phone started ringing again and to avoid the call from coming in throughout the night, I decided to answer."Where are you? Why did you leave?"Exactly what I thought he'd say."I just left early Corby. I was feeling a bit... dazed. That's all" My eyes wandered off into the street at all the buildings we were going by. Paramount was so close now and so

    Fabrico unclasped my bra and breaks out mouth apart. He stares down at me, his eyes appreciatively gazes every inch of skin he just uncovered. It doesn't make me feel self conscious or even - even opposite, it makes me feel wild with want."You're so goddamn beautiful" Fabrico mutters hoarsely before taking my nipple in his mouth, making me throw my head back in pure pleasure. I put my hands in his hair, not giving him an option of backing away from me. And, god, he doesn't. He sucks and nibbles, making me squirm in pleasure.All the pleasure started rising down lower, but the man above me doesn't do anything to help me with it,instead lifting his hips when I lift my own to get some kind of friction to relieve the pressure."Fabrico, please..." I feel like there's a fire in me and if he won't do anything to put it out, I will burn right under him.Fabrico stops what he's doing,making me groan i

    Light seeped in through the slit between the blackout curtains. Glancing at the clock, eight in the morning again, I had stayed up until two am last night. And for what, I'm not sure. And now I have a freaking work to get to . I love my job.Letting out a groan, I squinted as the morning sun violated my eyes. I rolled to my other side as dark hair slid over my face. Sighing deeply as I snuggled into the pillows, the thought of staying in bed all day was beyond appealing. I was comfortable, engulfed in my oversized comforter. I've never felt this lazy in the morning. I need coffee. And I'll be up and about my day. I just have an hour left to be seen at work.Throwing the comforter back,I sat at the edge of the bed for a moment. Feet hooked into the frame as I rubbed my face with my hands. Reaching up, I stretched my arms overhead and fell back into the cushion of the bed. Memories of last night at the hotel washed over me, bring

    Panic, fear, distraught. I wanted to scream but I doubt anyone would hear me in this dark alleyway. I'm not sure what move to make because if I make a wrong move, I don't trust Blake to say he won't hurt me. He's done it a lot in the past and it won't be the first time or the second.I eyed him carefully as his smile expanded across his face. He was mocking me, daunting me, scaring me at the same too. I placed my hand on his own that rested on my arm trying to shove him away but his grip was solid and I was defenseless."Blake...let me go... you're hurting me" I spit in his face.He chuckle very low, his eyes darting to my face. "You've been avoiding me too long, Selene. I told you, you can't hide from me"Panic rose in me, my eyes widened at that statement. Was he really the one who sent me that text?"You sent me that message didn't you?" I accused with hate, right in his face.

    He successfully shrugged my huge suit off with a grin on his face. His hands came to my button-top and he eyed the buttons slowly before he sighs."All the way to the top. Really?...""It's a professional look" I chuckled with a roll of my eyes."My appreciation for it varies now cause I want it off" He said, reaching for the top button. He started plucking each one off, his eyes darting to my face every once in a while until the whole button had come undone. I shrugged the shirt off, helping him with his. My hands came in contact with his hard, toned chest and that made me grin. I'm blessed!His hands came up behind my neck, gripping it backward so he could latch his lips on my throat, sucking on the skin there. I tried to tighten my legs together to dull the ache in between my legs. It craved attention and Fabrico was just about getting there.I stood up from his legs to take my

    My phone pinged with a new message from Fabrico. We've been talking since the night he left my apartment. The night Blake tried coming unto me. I pulled the phone out of my purse, shielding my face from the sun so I could see my screen.Where are you right now? ____FabricoI smiled as I stepped into my apartment building. I went out for a bit, to grab some groceries from a store nearby. I might not be needing them because this week I'll be in Miami, Florida but I thought it's better to still have my fridge stocked. Kay might come around while I'm gone.Just got home from the grocery store. I replied back. His text didn't waste any time before my phone pinged. I chuckled.What did you wear out? Suit? _FabricoI rolled my eyes before digging my hand in

    My sundress blew in the wind the moment I stepped out of the plane. I was feeling the Miami heat on my skin as I maneuvered my way through the airport. I brought only one little box so it wasn't hard retrieving my things.So many things followed with being in Florida right now. One included, was the fact that my mom is here in Florida too. I literally breath the same air she breaths right now. I swat my arms in front of me to fan myself of the heat. I don't remember feeling this much heat the last time I came here. Even though I was in big suit, the weather was graceful.As I walked past an old lady with grey hair, I almost didn't recognise a hand waving to me, and a banner that held my name boldly. Selene Brookes.The banner wasn't held by who I was expecting but by a tall man almost the same height as Fabrico and he was in a dark suit and pant. I recognise him as Andrew. Fabrico's driver.

I and my mom have trampled the whole house looking for it but it's still nowhere to be found.The door to my bedroom slides opened and Kay comes in with a giggling Freya. My God! I hope she doesn't give me a heart attack. She's got some of the frost all over her face and I only hope she hasn't taken much sugar than she can bear."Oh my!" I squeal as I collect her from my bestfriend. "Where did she find it? It was on the counter" I puzzled."There's every chance that Russo helped her get it down" Kay said, referring to Freya's cousin. My husband's brother's son. Ok, this just got me really scared."I'll help clean her up. You just get on with the cooking. Aida and Alice are waiting for you". Kay walked out of the room, my dau

    Seven months Later"What?" I pant, my eyes straining on the nurse in front of me. Her name is Ruby and have been my nurse for a while now, since I blew up into a big round ball, and I had to come here for checkups."A minute" Ruby says, holding her hand up, as she spoke with the doctor on the other line. Her eyes moving all over me before they finally pop."What is he saying?" I ask, clutching my maxi dress. Oh my gosh! I felt a really constricting pain just this afternoon and I told Andrew to drive me here. I didn't want to alarm Fabrico into a false labour because that has happened so many times in the last week. In reaching here, I was told it's time for the baby to come out, but my water hasn't broken yet.&nbs

    I sit up real well, staring at her, my eyes run down her body and then back up to her eyes."W-why are you like that?" I stutter and she grins, walking toward me."Why else? Stop being a saint Fabrico. I know you want me" she purr, getting on her knees and crawling to me. Ok..I never knew she was into stuffs like that. We may have done foreplays when we were together but...shit!.She reaches my thighs and hold them, sitting up."I said I wanted us to talk""Fine. Let's talk" she says and come to sit beside me. Her hands are on my torso, and her breath fanning my neck."What does you dad have against me?" I ask and she stops what she's doing to stare at me."Not this again" she sighs and I nod."Yes this" I say and then I did the unthinkable.

    Fabrico POVThe second the car drives into the lot of the Hilliard Cabin home, I phone Jared immediately, telling him to turn the microphones on. They're in a Van just down the street, and hidden from any passerbys. Anything, and they'll be rushing in to do there work."You in yet?" He asked."Nope. About to though. Sure she won't know?" I ask, feeling my hand brush agaisnt each other. Rose finding out anything could blow the cover."Depends on how you act. Just be your normal self, with a little spice. Remember, you're making her believe that you're on her side"I sigh, rolling my head back. It's going to be so hard pretending to care about her when I know that she's just trying to blackmail me. She and her father."Fabrico..." Jared called and I snap my eyes opened."You're doing this for you and Selene. Don't forget that. We have

    "what the devil are you saying?!" Fabrico yells at him. "I've seen him myself. He..." His sentence is cut short when he realized what he's about to say, dosen't make any sense. He and Emiliano are twins, so it's perfectly normal if their children looked alike. "Shit!" He runs his hands through his hair."I'm sorry you had to hear it from me. I was hoping Rose would tell you herself but then I hear from mom you were going to marry her because of Russo" Liano explains, like he actually has a good heart."Hilliard has been blackmailing me" Fabrico stresses. "And for nothing""Maybe he doesn't know Russo isn't yours" I mutter, both Fabrico and Liano glare at me."He knows" Liano clarified."So why would he force me to marry his daughter?""He probably wants Russo to inherit your wealth" Liano runs his hands through his hair, the same time Fabrico does it and I smile at how sim

    I run my hands through my hair unruly. "Start talking" I gripe at Alice and she glares at me, her arms folded. She really hasn't changed. Still sassy, annoying and don't give a fuck about anyone but herself."There's nothing to talk about? Corby was your father" She says."How? He never talked about you""He didn't have to."My brain is racking on so many things right now and she's not letting out much details that I need to know, and it's pissing me off."Tell me everything" I whisper.Her eyes are not so cold anymore as she sits on the couch, tapping at the space beside her.

    I run through the hospital in a white, transparent maxi dress, making my way for the room I know Corby once stayed. There are some nurses outside the room, Grace is there, her eyes dull if tears and red. This is real. It's actually real! My body is trembling as she points into the room."We're about taking him out now miss" one of the nurses said."Please...let my just see him. Please" I beg, my hands rubbing together and she nodded. I walk into the room, my heart in my hands. I'm glad Fabrico is behind me. Leon has Kay in his arms as she cried.There he is, laying on the bed, a shit clothe just to his neck and ready to close his head. I place my hand above my heart, feeling my fountain break and I'm in a sobbing mess. He's gone! His eyes are shut close, his face pale and dull. It's a contrast of the lively Corby I used to know. He was so energetic."Corby...please..." I say in a hush voice, my hands touch

    It's been a great week for me, Fabrico has been home throughout, we've been having lot of good times together, and spending time with him just allows me to know more about him. The things social media don't know. Like, how he has a terrible fright for spoons."Are you adding a lettuce to that?" I ask Fabrico. We're making dinner together. I'm improving in this cooking thing and it's really nice."Yeah. But little" he says and kiss me on the lips before walking toward the sink. Leon comes in,a smile on his face and I don't realize why until Kay comes into view."How are you here?" I smile as I hurry to hug her, my arms throwing round her neck."Wow, you're looking fatter each day" she comments and I stare at Fabrico who blows me a kiss. "By the way, Fabrico invited me"I glare at Fabrico. "You did?"He nods with a grin."That's so sweet. I'm happy to see yo
