In the Bianchi mansion, Lola is slowly recovering from the poison. She opened her eyes slowly, only to close them again as she felt like pins were prickling her eyeballs."Ah..." she groaned with discomfort. Simone who was beside her was instantly alerted."Lola, my daughter. You are awake. Thank the gods that you recovered. How are you feeling now?" he inquired with concern.Lola's head is feeling heavy and her body is aching everywhere. "Dad" she whispered. Her voice is barely audible.Russell already instructed Simone on what to do. Immediately he picked up the water which had medicine mixed into it and offered it to Lola."My dear, drink this. You will feel better" he said and placed the glass near her lips. She greedily drank the entire glass, feeling thirsty. After she finished the glass, her throat felt much better and the heaviness inside her head started to feel better."Dad, what happened?" she asked softly. Slowly she tried to open her eyes, but the pin-prickling sensatio
"Lola, I am so glad that you are alright" Rose exclaimed with happiness. Lola is sitting upright on her bed. She smiled at how happy and relieved Rose sounded. Rose sat on the bed beside Lola. "You know how much you scared me when you fainted in the car?" she told Lola.Lola couldn't help but remember what her father told her a while ago. 'Oh Rose, so much is going on around you. And you were kept in the dark about everything. I don't know how you would react when you learn about everything once you find out' she thought.When Rose noticed that Lola was not opening her eyes, she became concerned."Why are you not opening your eyes?" she asked worriedly.Lola touched her eyes once and winced when she tried to open them again."I am feeling uncomfortable when I open my eyes. Mr. Russell said this is the side effect of the poison. As the dosage was high and it spread rapidly across my body, he said that it would take a few days for me to recover completely" she shared.Rose is feeling
"Is everything ready?" Antonio asked the doctor.The doctor, who once used to work for both Antonio and Kairo is sold to Antonio. So he would do everything Antonio asked of him. "She is lying inside the room" the doctor pointed towards Rose, who is lying limply on the hospital bed. Antonio smirked.'Kairo, let's see what you would do after you realize what we did. You are busy with your sister who is ill. I am taking this time to my advantage when you are distracted. After we are done with your wife, she will never be able to become pregnant again ' he thought malevolently. "She is sedated just like you asked me to. I told her bodyguards that her checkup would take some time to make sure that he did not miss any internal injury. They bought my lie. It will take only an hour to finish the entire procedure" the doctor assured.Antonio nodded with satisfaction. "Did you obtain his sperm?" he inquired about Kairo's sperm.The doctor nodded."It's secured inside the center. We will tak
Naim is happy that Lola is recovering and she is not in danger anymore. He stood there outside her room for what felt like an hour. But he couldn't man up and enter her room.'Will it look odd if I go inside now and ask her how she is doing?' he wondered for the hundredth time.But only he can respond to his own dilemma. "If you don't go inside now, then I will be forced to push you in" the amused voice of Atlas made Naim turn around to face the man. Atlas is leaning casually against a nearby wall and an amused smile is playing on his lips.Naim shook his head feeling embarrassed that he was caught while standing in front of a girl's room like a pervert."Shh.." he hissed and quickly crossed the corridor to reach the area where Atlas was standing."Keep your voice down. What if she hears your voice?" Naim muttered while looking back to make sure that no one was around. Atlas chuckled."I never thought I would see you going all cold feet to talk to a woman before. This is interestin
"What do you think about Marriage?" he asked casually and sat beside her. Hovering over her like this is making him feel like a creep. So he settled down beside her in another chair.Lola is startled by his question. After her husband passed away, no one ever brought the subject of marriage in front of her. She was fine with it. "Well, it's a beautiful place to be in" she replied after a moment of silence. He nodded, thinking about how to ask her to marry him. He already wasted so many years to just realize his feelings. Now he is not ready to wait until it's too late and regret it later. And after watching her in an unconscious state fighting for her life, he decided to cherish his time with her."Did you ever think about marrying again?" he asked sounding as casual as he could.She stilled. A small frown appeared between her arched eyebrows. She is looking troubled. Lola is confused and even a little uncomfortable with the line of his questioning. She doesn't know what he is thin
Rose rolled her eyes at Kairo's caveman attitude."He is one of your trusted and my bodyguards. If you are this jealous because he was standing too close to me, I wonder what you would do if I touched someone intentionally" She teased Kairo. Kairo is not finding it funny. The thought of someone else touching her is something he cannot bear to even imagine. "Don't push me, baby. I might have to mark your body like a caveman to show everyone that you belong to me" he warned her.But Rose just brushed off his threat easily, because she knew that he would never hurt her. She leaned closer to his ear and let her warm breath tease him."Well, your marks from our first time are fading. You can mark me again if you want to" she whispered, teasing and testing him.His eyes flashed with intensity and he pulled her closer to him roughly."Then remember what you just said now. Because I am going to do exactly that tonight" he promised intensely.Her breathing picked up and her abdomen became ti
In the storeroom, Sylvia didn't bother to clean it at all. She is sitting on one of the dusty boxes and is speaking with someone on the phone. "I want your help with something" she spoke to the person on the other end.After Antonio was dead, Sylvia still maintained contact with a few of her brother's men. So she is using them for her work these days. And he is one of them."Ms. Sylvia, how have you been? It's been a long time" he drawled, clearly hinting about their past intimate dealings. He ignored her request for help.Sylvia rolled her eyes at his words."Roderick, I am good. I need your help with something" she requested again.Roderick smirked from the other end."Sylvia, don't be a stranger. Come and find me in the pub. I heard you moved to Italy now. You know where to find me. Let's have a nice chat with a drink" he said suggestively.Sylvia gritted her teeth, understanding what he meant. He is asking her to sleep with him. She needs his help, so she has to play by his rules
"So, what's the plan now?" she asked innocently.He arched his brow with amusement. His eyes are trained on her like she is his prey. He cannot spend more time with her here, because he has things to deal with back in the city. But the little time he had, he wanted to spend it with her alone."Plan? Now we are going to enjoy a warm Jacuzzi bath, together. There's a robe there on the bed. I want you to wear only that and nothing else. I will be waiting in the tub" With that said, he turned and left. After he left, Rose turned to look at the bed. Sure enough, there is a small pink satin robe lying there, which she missed when she first walked inside. The robe is so small, that she wondered if it would expose the underside of her butt cheeks. 'Wear that, and nothing else ' he instructed. She can understand what he wants from her. They are going to bathe together again, naked. Her cheeks flamed red with shyness. But her body is buzzing with anticipation about what is to come. She still
