RED'S POV
I sat on the beach, enjoying the evening breeze, sipping my banana drink with my legs crossed. I'm supposed to meet the planning committee today. I think I sent them an invite, they should be here soon. I was about standing up when I heard a familiar voice. I turned my head and I saw her, in a super sexy orange bikini, posing by a palm tree. I couldn't take my eyes off her. My eyes racked up and down her body almost undressing her. She looked really beautiful and sexy. My breath got stuck in my throat when she turned to my direction. She looked shocked, I also looked speechless. I couldn't take my eyes off her for it was hard to do so. She took the glass of fruit juice in her hand close to her lips and she looked away. I turned away from her, trying to figure out what just happened..damn!
"Mitchell!" I heard a squeal from behind and I stood up. I turned back and I smi
ARIETTA'S POV"The stupid waiter didn't give me myfruit salad at the end of the day. I was so angry, I think I need to report her to the authorities of this place. Like the fuck? I waited 30 fucking minutes hoping the son of a bitch would bring my apple salad but no, he made me wait. I really have to..."Kim can you let it go? You've been complaining from the way home now you're still snapping around!" Isaac said with a groan and she hissed."Don't think I'm overreacting, it's just..I really wanted that apple salad and he just disappointed me. If I should meet that dude one day, I'm gonna squish his balls.""Enough threatening, more resting. We have a long day ahead us tomorrow and believe me you won't even have time to look for some motherfucker." Bessy said as a matter of fact and I chuckled."Truth be told, I had the best time ever. Ari did you see those isla
RED'S POVFrank sat with shock written all over his face, rooted in one spot. He gulped and put off his shirt. The cube was trembling in my hands due to my uneasiness. I carefully placed the cube on the table and picked up the masterpiece with my trembling fingers."Are...are you sure?..ma.. maybe it's fake." Frank shuttered and I kept staring at it. I'm not at ease right now. What's in front of me is worth more than the whole of the world. I rushed to my room and picked up a hammer from my tool box. I went back to the living room and held the hammer tight. If this diamond is fake then this hammer will break it into pieces. If it's not, the hammer itself might crumble into pieces. I raised the hammer up and slammed it on the diamond with full force. Just as I did, the hammer broke away from my hand, almost injuring my fingers. I stared at the still intact stone on the table and I gasped."It's real?" Frank said with disbelief and I laughed. I picked it up and gave
One Week Later Arietta's Point Of View "The carnival is coming in just three days, the carnival is coming in just three days... hey," Kori sang, dancing around the living room with Mouris's hands on her shoulders. I watched as they both showcased their craziness. Clarry is helping me with my pedicure, and Bessy is going through stuff on her laptop. Kim is smiling and texting. I'm sure she's flirting with one dude. The past week has been hectic as hell, there was no breathing space. Just work, work, and more work. I've grown a little bit thin, my collarbones are more prominent. It is better if they cook a special bouquet for me on carnival day because I'll eat more than an elephant would. After this whole thing, I'm taking 3 days off work. All is going well except for one thing, or should I say one person, Linda. Gosh, that chic is so annoying. Anytime she was with us, she always wants to prove to Mitchell that she can do anything. He's your boyfriend, we get it, but her clingi
**Red's Point Of View**"Because I'm happy, come along..."I sang happily as I walked back home. Why am I happy? Good question, which I don't have an answer to. I just found myself smiling and singing for no reason... gosh, what is wrong with me?"Hey, Frank," I called as I walked in, taking off my coat in the process."What have you been doing, where are you coming from, and why are you looking..." he trailed off, like he was looking for the right word to use. "Not yourself.""What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine. And for your questions, I went to the club. I think that answers all your questions.""Right...I'm going for a night swim.""And I'm going to bed... see ya."I went to my room and slumped on the bed. I took my phone and decided to text Ari. "Good night."She didn't reply, so I concluded she was asleep. I switched off my phone and drifted to sleep.**The Next Day***Lantonio's Mansion***Linda's Point Of View**"Hey, sis," I heard a loud squeal beside me, and I groaned."To
Arietta's Point Of View"Holy shit!"He rushed to the wardrobe and brought out a shirt and a pair of shorts. He wore them hastily and took my hand as we made for the door. This is what I don't get, why is he making such a fuss? I mean the bag is only containing candies, right? Or there's something else? I sighted one of the room service ladies down the hall, and we rushed to her."The plastic bag you took, where is it?" Rick asked immediately we got to her."Sir?""You mixed up the bags; you were supposed to take this," I said, stretching the other bag to her. She collected it and widened her eyes immediately she saw what was inside."Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I must have mixed them up when I picked it up.""It's fine. Where is it?" Rick asked impatiently."Gosh, my colleague has disposed it in the trash cans outside the building. That's not even the problem. The problem is that the garbage truck would have packed the trash."Without warning, Rick dashed away. I and the lady ran after
**Red's Point Of View**"Stay with me please," I kept saying as I swam with all my strength. We almost got to the shore when I felt her hand slipping off mine. I quickly pulled her up and carried her in bridal style. I carefully laid her on the sand, and I collapsed beside her. We made it. Thank God for that. Let me catch my breath first. Then I'll find somewhere for us to sleep. After gathering my strength, I carried her up in bridal style and walked into the bushy island, walking down a pathway for some time before I finally saw a house, a partly destroyed house. I got in and placed Ari on a small bed by the corner. I looked around the dirty room, trying to figure out where we were. I saw a wide cloth hanging on the wall, and I shifted it aside, revealing a portrait of a man and a woman, whom I assume to be his wife, and a little baby in the arms of the lady. The little baby is wearing a bracelet on the wrist, and it has something embedded on it, like a name. It spelled out... An
Red's Point Of View At first, I was nervous, my heart was thumping against my chest very hard. What if she slapped me? What if she hated me for life. You know you won't be able to handle it if she ignored you, so stop! All these thoughts clouded my head as I leaned closer to her. She looked unbothered. The anticipation in her eyes gave me a slight hope that I would not regret what I was about to do. Our foreheads touched, and I could feel her heart beating against my chest. I was about leaning further when she raised her head up to meet mine, joining her lips in the process. I was taken aback at first, but melted in the kiss She gave me access to her mouth, and I slipped my tongue in. She pulled me closer, and I gripped tight to her thighs. I felt sparks of electricity roll down my spine as I kissed on. She nibbled on my lower lips and I sucked on her tongue as I felt different things. The feeling for this to never stop, the feeling of me always having her in my arms forever, the f
**Arietta's Point Of View**"Damn, I'm really tired... I slept on the cold ground... even the blanket didn't help... I need a good massage.""I've got you covered." Kori rushed to me and sat on the bed with me on the ground. She started massaging my shoulders, and I sighed in pleasure... she's really good at this."Does this make up for my mistake?""Definitely!""Sooo..." Clarry drawled as she came to sit beside me, "how was the night with... you know, the boss?" She asked with a wink, and I twitched my lips to the side, trying to suppress the blush that almost crept to my cheeks."What do you mean by that, and why are you grinning at me... stop that, it's creepy.""Oh, come on... don't act all Holy Mary. We saw the cloth you wore, don't tell me nothing happened between the two of you with his revealing your dress was. I'm sure there was some sexual tension between you two last night," Kim said from where she lay on her bed, and I rolled my eyes... sexual tension indeed... getting al
Caroline's Point Of View I brought the phone from my ear and gulped before placing it back."Mike? How?""Oh, darling, you thought I wouldn't come back for you? You're mine, Caro... I'll always come back for you, baby.""Where are you? We need to talk.""Oh, look ahead of you, sweetheart."I did as he said, and my eyes caught him sitting on a bench with his super-hot signature smirk plastered on his lips. He looks handsome as ever, even more handsome than he looked 20 years ago. When did he leave prison? Mike was the man I was having an affair with before I met Santo. He loves me so much, I know he does, but I don't love him, well, I do but not in that perspective. Mike has been someone that has been very good to me since the very day I've known him; he has been the best companion ever. When I was neglected by my father, when everything was taken away from me.Flashback 20 Years Ago"You worthless child, why? Do you wanna kill me before my time? Tell me, what haven't I given to you,
