Elena’s POV

The meeting with the Mandel executives had ended well. They signed in with our company, which seemed to be a huge success because even though Vincent refused to show it, he was very glad.

I watched him with a little smile as he shook hands with the executives, promising them that they would not regret signing in with the company.

His mood seemed to lighten throughout the way as we made our way back to where our car was packed. I was deeply tempted to taunt him about the smile on his face that he kept trying to hide, but I decided against it.

He seemed to be in a good mood, and it probably was the best time to question him about how I ended up in his room last night.

I wanted to know if it was a dream that he had slept beside me, or was it a reality. The thought itself somehow excited me, but believing me there is no way I am accepting that conclusion.

Your mom’s surgery is going to happen today. He said out of the blues, and my eyes widened.

    Narrator’s POV The two sat opposite each other chatting as though they had been friends for years. Elena felt strangely comfortable with Eric that she almost forgot that this was a revenge plan. “So tell me Lena, can I call you that?” He asked with a calm smile. Elena nodded in response. “What brings you to Paris?” Elena smiled cutely. “Business, I am on a business trip with my boss.” She responded. His eyes widened in surprise. “Really, does that mean you are not staying, I was hoping to buy you dinner tonight, you can at least make it right?” “She will not be available.” Someone said behind them right before Elena could get the chance to reply him. Elena didn’t need to turn to know it was Vincent and so she didn’t turn, she only stared ahead and then back at Eric who was now looking at her questioningly as Vincent came to stand with them. “Sorry who….?” “He's my boss.” Elena replied shortly, cutting Eric’s intended question to a stop. Again he looked very surprise.

    She took a quick peek at the sleeping Nehita and smiled. Trying not to wake the sleeping girl, she tiptoed out of the room, and once she was safety outside, she sighed deeply and then turned to look at the sleeping girl again with a little sad smile on her face. She was doing this for her and her dying mom who needs a huge amount of money before surgery can be carried out on her. Right now, being just a day time sales representative in a little coffee shop down the street wasn’t in anyway meeting up with the demands. Twelve years old Nehita had to drop out of school due to the intensity of the whole bills on her. She can barely feed the family without difficulties, but she was willing to find a way to settle her mother’s hospital bills, and still get Nehita back to school. Elena closed the door softly behind the sleeping girl, and then walked into the passage where her neighbor Old Celina stood with a smile on her face, a pity filled smile. Don’t worry about her my dear; I will t

    The scene before him wasn’t one he was expecting, and coupled with the anger already dominant in his heart. He had just returned from his company only to be visited with the news of one of his most trusted men betraying him. So with all the anger, he did that which shocked everybody. Surprisingly, the wounded lady didn't lift her face for once; even after the glass tore her shoulder skin causing blood to gush out of the wound. Her heart kept beating very fast, as she kept clenching her fists trying to control her rage. The guests already frightened took their heels, while Amelia rushed to Elena to help her out, and that was when she looked up. Her dripping wet face was frowning, and her eyes bore a frightening glint that made her look more scary than normal. Her eyes met with his and held. Each held the same intensity in their glance which kept promising scary and wicked things they could do to each other through their glance. She watched him severally as he gnashed his teeth fro

    She had a lot of things in her list to do this morning Elena thought, as she dropped Nehita off at her new school. She couldn’t help the smile that broke off on her lips as soon as she saw the gladness in Nehita’s eye. Is it really alright by you Lena, can I really resume school now? She had asked with a worried look on her face as she stared at her sister. She knew her sister was struggling to help them survive, and wasn’t ready to be a burden to her sister. Bending to her sister’s level, Elena moved away the strand of hair on her sister’s cute face, with a fond smile playing on her lips. She was always satisfied and proud of her sister’s smartness, and that always gave her a reason to try harder to make sure her brilliant sister got the best education she could give her. Yes baby, I will certainly come pick you up after school. Elena told her still with her smile, and Nehita hugged her tightly. Thank you very much Lena, will you go see mom? She asked after breaking the hug, and

    Her heart beat was practically racing, and soon it brought about a deep pain which she couldn't quite explain if it was from the fear of her monster of a dad having her little sister, or that he found them after all her efforts to hide away from his prying eyes. Building up courage, she asked the question which was already eating her up deeply even though she could really guess the answer at heart. How did you find us? He grinned mirthfully from the other side of the line as though he'd just heard the funniest joke on earth, and some how it gave her chills by just imagining his evil looking face as he grinned. Now, don't be ridiculous child. How do you think its possible for I not to know the whereabouts of my precious daughters, and of course their mother? He asked and grinned dangerously again. A sweat unconsciously dripped from her forehead, and only then did she realize that she was sweating porously. As fierce and strong she was, there was just one man who she fears down to

    She dressed her best, that she was sure of because Amelia had put so much effort in making her look her best.Her eyes swept through the crowded clubbing hall from the entrance where she stood, she kept wondering whether she should really go in or not. The club was dim lit, and so she was completely unaware of the attentions and stares coming her way.Amelia had arrived at her house few minutes after she ended her call. Rushing to her, she'd pulled her into a bone crushing hug as though she knew just how much Elena needed the hug. Few seconds later, she'd released her, and then replaced it with a hard smack on her arm. Ouch! That hurts. Elena yelled while rubbing her pained arm with a frown on her face. You scared the shit out of me girl. Amelia snapped back, and she bit her lower lip trying to keep her emotions in check, with narrowed eyes. I'm sorry. She mumbled, and Amelia sighed, and eyed her weakly. Silence fell comfortably among them, and then Amelia broke it. What were you

    You.... want me to do what? Elena asked in disbelief as her eyes went back to the picture. Marco simply shrugged.It is one of the subjects of the contract, others will be communicated to you later, and you have to find a way to do it, so that no one will suspect anything. You want me, to make him fall in love, with me? She asked in a surprised tone, as she stared at him as though he just blabbed. Well that is just impossible. She declared, and he sighed deeply. Turning to her, he took her hand in his, and then gave her a reassuring smile. Lena. You and I know that you don't have Much choice. He said calmly, and her eyes began to wail up with unsheaded tears.Did you get to see Nehita? How is is? Please, she cannot be harmed I beg you. Elena cried out, and he pulled her into a hug. I'm sorry Lena, but you really have to obey your father this time, else I won't guarantee your sister's safety. He whispered into her ear, and a single tear successfully rolled down her cheek. He is

    She woke up with a start, and with a blinding headache. How did she get on the bed? She wondered, as she slowly scanned her environment with her eyes. This was definitely not her room. She suddenly realized, and then hissed from the blinding headache.She felt a movement beside her, and she smiled. The memories from last night came rushing back to her, and her smile broadened. Last night with Marco had been very memorable and extra ordinarily hot. She recalled, and blushed hard from its effect. Even in her drunken state, she'll never forget such a beautiful and blissful experience with Marco. They had gone rounds after rounds as though they were made of steel, yet non was ready to give up on the flow of desires. Taking a deep breath, she turned sideways to look at her partner who had made her night, with a fond smile playing on her lips, but his back was turned to her. Still with the smile on her lips, she slowly traced through his spine with her middle finger. She couldn't help

    Narrator’s POV Duello opened the door for him and he carried her into the suit with a deep frown on his face. He had achieved completely nothing tonight and it was pissing him off, but somehow having her in his arms helped drive his rage away. He took her to his own room and laid her on the bed while watching her sleep. She was complaining way too much, and suddenly she fell into a faint-like sleep. He knew she must have been scared, and suddenly he felt sorry for leaving the way he did. He watched her calmly with a little smile on his face at how beautiful and cute she looked while sleeping like a baby. He hated himself for how he was slowly feeling for her, but he knew he couldn’t control the feeling because he was already in too deep. Taking a deep breath, he pecked her forehead, and then left the room to meet Duello at the living room where he stood waiting for him. Sir the manager had provided another suit for her. He said immediately as soon as his boss came into view, bu

    Narrator’s POV The food was soon delivered to her, and even as she ate she couldn’t help the feeling of guilt that kept crowding her mind, and soon she was brooding, but it never stopped her from enjoying her food at all. Once she was done eating, she found herself staring at his door from time to time, hoping that he would step out and smile at her like he used to, but he never did. She was about to step back into her room when his door suddenly opened, and he stepped out looking so dashingly hot. It took all her will power not to drool at him, and instead she turned away from him almost immediately and headed for her room as though she was not looking out for him some minutes ago. He barely spared her a glance before he walked over to the door and stepped out without talking to her, and that was when she paused. Was he actually ignoring her? She wondered sadly as she glanced after his retreating self, and sighed deeply. Deciding not to think about his actions, she went to wat

    Narrator’s POVElena, wake up! She heard a voice call her softly followed by a little tap on her shoulder, and she slowly opened her eyes to see her boss/fake boyfriend staring down at her with an unreadable expression. Are you awake now? He asked and she blinked twice before nodding. He nodded as well and then moved away from her, only to stand up and began to walk away. She sat there confused, trying to understand what exactly was going on until her eyes went outside the window, and only then did she understand that they had arrived. The jerk couldn’t just tell me that, could he? She mused and grumpily stood up and followed his retreating back out of the plane only to see that he wasn’t at the foot of the plane waiting for her. She was getting very annoyed at his recent behavior until she saw a figure coming her way, and a middle aged man dressed in a black suit walked to her and bowed. Bienvenue à Paris madame, j'espère que votre voyage a été agréable. He said while still bowi

    Narrator’s POV Then get him to marry you! His words kept echoing in her head, as she found herself unable to make any other movements. Slowly, she turned to face the man who was staring at her with a cold look on his face even though his mouth was pulled into a grin which didn’t quite lighten his face at all. Determined not to let the man ride or intimidate her, she gave him a fake smile which was so obvious that the man’s eye widened a bit at her expression. Well with all due respect sir, I know you mean well, but I had like to remind you that you really have no right over your son’s relationship, and we will decide to get married if we feel like and when we want. She told him in a voice that gave out completely nothing, and the man’s eye narrowed at her slightly. Even though he was troubled by her choice of words, he smiled at her boldness and nerves to talk back at him with no fear at all. Just a little number out of a huge number would even stand before him without shaking,

    Narrator’s POVHe walked off without any fore warning, and she quickly went after him while consistently dragging down the shirt as she half ran after him. They made their way through the wide sitting room and out of the mansion which seemed all familiar too her. Butler Ken had immediately got to clean up the table as soon as they left, and she somewhat felt sorry for having the old man clean up her mess. He led her towards the car park where about six of his men were waiting for him, including Mark whose eyes widened in surprise on seeing her wearing his boss's shirt, but he quickly masked the surprise with a look of seriousness. Duello held the door to the choice black car Vincent had picked out of the thousands of other expensive looking cars, and she went in first as directed by him. As soon as she was sitted, he entered the car as well. They sat side by side, while Elena tried her best to focus on her breathing instead of the fact that their shoulders were touching from how c

    Narrator's POVShe stared at him as though he had just vomited a load of rubbish, and then she scoffed. Please tell me you are joking. She said with a surprised expression on her face, but he only shrugged. It is either that or your life. He said in a low voice that sent chills through her, and she frowned at him. Was he really threatening her or what? She wondered with a frown directed at him but his face remained static. If I don't stay with her, where else could I possibly stay? She asked him in despair, and he didn't need any thinking process because the desired answer was in his brain. You can stay here until everything is resolved; I have many rooms in this mansion. He told her and even before he could complete the statement, she was already shaking her head in refusal. No, I can't stay with you. She told him firmly and he frowned. Maybe she was refusing because they fought. Hey Elena, this isn't anything we could take for granted. You not staying with me are completel

    Narrator's POVVincent had just returned from the company, when he received the news that his 3 cargos of special arms and weapons had been stolen from the port. He was stressed that was for sure, but he wasn't willing to let it show. Duello as usual found his spot standing right in front of him inside his home office where he now was, walking around in deep thoughts and anger. Who leaked the news to them? He asked Duello who sighed before answering. I am still on it sir, I will get the information needed as soon as possible. He said quietly, and Vincent groaned. Could he possibly go a day without troubles of any sort? He wondered as he turned towards the window calmly, and began to think of possible ways to recover the stolen weapons. Whoever took those weapons would still have them in his possession, because there is no way 3 cargos of Italian arms would have left this region in two hours.
