Chapter Twenty Two
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The Limo stopped in front of a huge mansion. I was expecting a hotel or something but not a house. A huge house that looks mighty expensive. Outside, I could see the paparazzi trying to take pictures of people as they stepped into the house. No doubt, some of them where celebrities.
I tightened my nails against my palms, feeling blood sieze in that part. Nervous and scared is what I am right now.
"Are you alright?" Fabrico asked, taking my hands in his.
"Just nervous" I confess with an unsettled smile. He raised my hand to his lips, planting a kiss on my hand.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, Babe. You'll easily outshine every other woman in there" He smiled. Andrews helped him to open his door and he slipped out. I could see the paparazzi hurrying to the Limo to get pictures and news headlines. Fabrico came to stand in front of my door, opening it for me and helping me out. My hands were cold against

I shrug off Fabricos coat, dropping it on the white comforter, by the fire. Stripping my shoes off and relaxed on the chair. Don't know how long it's going to take for Fabrico to get in here but I really want to have a moment to myself right now and think.I snuggle on the couch with my bare feet and my expensive gown on. The light in the fireplace distracted me for some few seconds until my phone buzzed and I saw Kay's name flash on the screen. She does know the right...wrong time to call. "Hey, what's up!""Someone would murder you, grind you and send your remains to us and we still wouldn't even know, that's because you don't call us" Kay nagged on the phone. I assumed her with her hands on her hips or, she's pacing around with a cup in her hand."I was just too busy""Busy huh?...you went to relax and you tell me you're busy? You should be free all the godamn time"

Fabrico has a deep frown on his face, his fist balling by his side as he reads the message I just showed him. He has fury in his eyes as he glares at me. I almost take a step back but I know he's not mad at me. It's on whoever sent that text.I'm watching you, Selene _ Unknown."What the fuck!" He exclaims, dropping his hand that held the phone to his side. "You got this kind of message and you didn't tell me?""I thought it was Blake...still don't know if that's him but...""That's Emiliano's number, Selene" He pinches the bridge of his nose. "why didn't you tell me?!" The question is asked in a deep, hushed voice and I had to stare at his lips to really know what he said."I didn't think it was important" I mutter."What?! You have a psychotic ex boyfriend and then you get a text like th

I grab the magazine from her hand, staring closely at it. Oh my God! This might not be a good thing. And still ready to mingle? Not the kind of headline I'd like to hear every goddamn time. Also not the kind of thing Corby wants to hear. And if Michelle sees this, she might just hold it above me."It was just a friendly lunch" I say to Kay and she nodded with a grin on her face."Friendly huh?" She huffs. "He's got his arms right around your waist and ...look at how he's staring at you" Kay sighs. "He's openly undressing you""It's nothing. He found out I was in Miami, and he invited me to a party. That was all""How'd he know you where in Miami?" Kay questions. That is it! Her one hundred and one questions. It never ends, they'd just keep coming. "Oh my fucking god! Are you screwing Fabrico Zunino?"My eyes widen. "What? No!""Don't lie to me, Selene. I see right

"Of course you are Selene" She clucked, swinging her head from side to side. Uncomfortable, she is but I'm not leaving here. Not today. Corby always wondered why I never come around or even visit? It's because of his wife. She doesn't like me and when I come around. The last time, she indirectly used her words to drag me out."Well thanks. I'd like potatoes" I hummed rubbing my tummy. Corby has been looking at me ever since I walked."Get her some potatoes" He ordered one of the workers and they exited quickly."It's nice to see you again Corby" I snickered."Exactly. Since you never call me or even visit but then I find you in the cover of a famous gossip magazine" He griped, I watched him intently."I was hoping we'd talk about that"I hadn't potatoes seating in front of me in no time so I filled my mouth with a spoon. This! I've missed real food."Not here" Corby whispered, getting up and walking away. I peer at Grace and she had her face glued to her phone. I wonder what she's star
The Pact Chapter Twenty Eight
"Are you going to tell me what's on your mind now?" Fabrico's arms run down my bare back slowly sending goosebumps down my body and allover."It's nothing""I know you more than that, Selene." He shuffles in the bed until he clasped my face in his big palms. "Let's just say I've known you since the day you hailed into my office but having to spend time with you in Florida, was the best moments of my life" He planted a kiss on my nose. "I also got to know you more"I'm silent and shocked at his confession. Slightly pleased and slightly, don't know what to do. I hold on to his shoulders tight, bringing myself so close to him. It's true that I've just known Fabrico for three months but he knows me more than anyone else could. Even Corby. He reads me like some crazy Sci-fi.&
The Pact Chapter Twenty Nine
When I step out of the bathroom, Fabrico is seating on my bed, staring into my closet. He had his chin on his jaw and he looks adorable. I smile walking past him and holding my hand to my chest."Aren't you leaving today?" I ask him and he snaps his eyes from my closet to me. He then looks at me with a smile when I strip my towel of, finding my robe."Do you want me to?"Don't know if he's a civil person but you never reply a question with a question. Normally, I would've sparked but he looks super adorable this morning. I just can't get mad at him."No." I shove my used cloth into the dirt bag, getting it ready for washing. "I just assumed you have a company...well, companies to run""I think they can still function without me. You on the other hand, should take a break"I shake my head with a smile. "No way. I can't. Corby and I aren't on perfect grounds right now and Kay is unto me" I giggle. "She thinks I'm hooking up with some dude""You are though...only I'm not some dude" Fabric

"Hello Grace" I smile the moment the woman opens the door. She doesn't have a friendly smile on her face, just an uncomfortable glare in which I choose to ignore. I need to see Corby. I need to know how he's carrying the news and everything."My husband isn't home" Grace grumbled from behind me."Where'd he go and when is he coming back?"She snorts. "I thought you of all people would know"I watch her parade back to whatever den she crawled out from, with a twist to her steps. I get our my phone to call Corby when I hear someone coming down the stairs, surely, it's Corby.Looking in the direction Grace went, I roll my eyes. Witch!"What a surprise" Corby chimed. He has wrinkles in his face and a huge amount of eyebags under his eyes . He's not his usual self, even the way he walks is different."Corby, are you alright? You look sick!"He sways his hands about ridding off what I said. "I'm fine. Let's talk about you" Corby took my hand leading me to his study room. The silence is appre

Selene POVThe tree is lit, the candles and everything. Even the cookies are baked but there's just one more problem, the cake frost is missing. 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. My hand, run up her neck slowly until I grip the back of her neck. I try to focus

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.
The Pact Chapter Sixty One
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
The Pact Chapter Sixty
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
