Stefano had hired a boat trip for them both to go exploring the Lake Como, they’d seen beautiful coves, beautiful villages on the coast and beautiful shoals of fish swimming beneath them. She was now soaking up the sun and topping up her tan in a small white bikini that had small shells decorating the strings. “This is beautiful Stefano, you have really made some impression,” Charlotte smiled and glanced sideways beneath her large black sunglasses. “Oh really? Well you haven’t seen what I have instore for tonight yet,” Stefano winked at her and chuckled. “Ooo more surprises!” Charlotte felt like a kid on her birthday. For the past week and a half that she’d been in Italy with Stefano she had felt like it was years of Christmas and birthdays all rolled into one. She couldn’t think of anything else he could possibly surprise her with. “So w
“He’s taken her to Italy.” Ethan said over the phone, Daniel didn’t want to believe it. The dream he still couldn’t seem to shake was now becoming a reality. “He’s what?.” Daniel said hoping Ethan was going to reply with something different. “I’m sorry Dan, I tried to tell him when he turned up at Charlottes but she jumped in between us both before I could swing for him.” Ethan’s voice portrayed the disappointment of not being able to connect his fist with Stefano’s well chiselled face. “Can we keep an eye on her out there? I don’t want that bastard to do anything,” Daniel said sliding back into business mode. “I’ll look into it, I’m sure she’ll be fine, his family are there and from what I remember they wouldn’t stand for anything funny going on.” Ethan replied. Daniel hung up the phone, his brain couldn’t compute as to why his life was falling down around him. Opening his office door, he called Katherine into his office. The smirk on Katherines face showed she knew what was about to
8:45pm, there was a knock on Charlottes front door. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could, stopping just before the door to fix her appearance in the mirror she had in the hallway. Opening the door, Stefano stood there looking like some sort of Greek god. Charlottes words seemed to have got lost as she just stared at the man before her. “you ready mio amore?” Stefano said trying not to chuckle at how starstruck Charlotte was. “oh, erm, yes I think so,” Charlotte stammered as she did the 5th check of her handbag. “Passport, Phone, Purse.. yep I’m all good to go.” Charlotte was beyond excited as Stefano took the suitcase from her hands, leaving an aftershock shooting round body. Following the god of a man out of the house, locking the door behind her and headed for the car. When they arrived at the Heathrow airport, Charlotte got out of the car and retrieved her luggage from the boot of the car. “I feel like a kid at Christmas” she giggled at Stefano. The whole way to th
As Charlotte opened up her eye’s, they were blurry, all shecould make out was she was on the sofa with two menstood beside the sofa arguing. “How could you let thishappen?” One of the men said in quite an aggressive tone.“I’m sorry Ethan the car came out of nowhere, and I’msorry but I couldn’t just stay back and let someone elsehelp her.” Josh replied to the other man, “She can’t knowwho you are or she’ll start to remember and you know that’s not what Daniel wants.” Ethan said in a stern voice but Charlotte could hear the sadness of his statement. “Do youmean Daniel Stern?” Charlotte said as she pulled herselfup on the sofa to look at the two men easier. They bothlooked at each other the other guy Ethan, almost glaredJosh to death. “Daniel Stern?” Josh said sounding like hewas trying to work out what Charlotte had heard. “Whydoesn’t he want me to remember?” Charlotte said asimages of the glass jar an
Daniel watched Ethan leave the room and collapsed on thefloor. The memory of Stefano at the hospital watchingCharlotte, declaring his undying love for her played onrepeat in front of his eyes. Daniel sat there crying until hecouldn’t anymore. Dragging himself to his feet he thoughtit best to take Ethan’s advice. He walked into the ensuiteof his office, undressed and got into the shower. The watercascading down his back, he just stood there hoping thewater would wash away the pain and betrayal he felt.Stepping out of the shower, he caught a glimpse of himselfin the floor length mirror. Daniel near grimaced at how hisappearance had changed.His face was looking exhaustedand gaunt, His physique had taken a beating with all thestress and worry. Stepping on his scales, he grimaced evenmore. He’d dropped nearly a stone in the past few weeks.Daniel knew he needed to sort things out, he hadn’t eaten&nb
Charlotte drove the high-street heading home, confusedby the poem that been put in her pocket, she called Lucy.“Hey! You ok?” Lucy practically sang. “Hey beautiful, justthought I’d call, I had a note left again but this time it wasin my pocket and it was a poem.” Charlotte said, reachingout for the poem to read it to Lucy. “what do you mean itwas in your pocket? How did it get there? What did it say?” Lucy asked. Charlotte read off the poem and recalledthe person that bumped into her in the carpark before shewent for coffee. “someone bumped into me in the carparkearlier when I went to meet Stefano for coffee, they musthave dropped the note in my pocket then,” Charlottelooked down to put the note into her handbag.BANG! SMASH!Charlottes head smashed into her side window, the carskidded sideways, Charlotte’s head lolling on the steering&nbs
Daniel drove back to the office, his music on blaring andsinging along. The pure childish excitement he had over his coffee meet with Charlotte had taken over. Parking in hisspace, he took the lift to the top floor of his building andwas greeted by a smirk plastered on Katherines face as shestood up from behind her desk, “Mr Stern, you have aparcel on your desk, the delivery boy dropped it offearlier.” She said with a look as though she was thinkingI’d bought her something. Although he bought her lingerie,and fancy jewellery now and again, he hadn’t ordered orbeen expecting anything to be delivered today. With aquizzical look, Daniel walked into his office straight towhere the delivery was. He read the label; there was noreturn address or any information as to where it had comefrom. Slowly Daniel opened the box. Inside was a whiteenvelope with “OPEN ME” scrawled on
Daniel Stern was so much more than the stereotypical tall,dark and handsome. Every time he walked into a room, jawswould drop, women would be fighting to get his attentionand even some of the men. His whole being was perfection,the perfect chiselled jaw, the dazzling blue eyes, theshortish messy brown hair. He was mesmerising and heknew it, being heir to a billion-pound legacy did that to aguy. As he sat at his huge mahogany desk in his soft, black leather chair, he couldn't help but let his mind travel back to the beautiful woman he once loved the joy she wouldbring him and the despair she has left him in. The way shewould lay there asleep, so peaceful and so pure. As he lethis mind wander through the past like he had done so manytimes before, he grew weaker and weaker the stabbing pain of heartbreak re-lived all over again and he recalled his lastmemories of her.The knocking on his office door brought h...
