The party was at it's end and it was time for us to leave. Niall didn't try to converse even for once throughout the whole time. 

"It was good party, Niall."

Dylan said to him as we were about to head towards our cars. Dad joined the talk. 

"I like the decoration, indeed."

He added as Cara and I stood in silence, feeling cold air hit right at our legs and thighs. 

"I'm glad you enjoyed the party."

Niall said with a smile. 

"Can I have a talk with Davina for a second?"

Niall asked my dad, as if he needed permission or my dad would ever say no to it. I looked at Dylan for a brief second, who I think mouthed "Take the chance" I didn't know if that chance would be in Niall's support or not. 

We both walked away to have some privacy and my father and Dylan went to their respective cars as well, maybe father asked Dylan and Cara to leave as they both were sitting in Cara's car. I didn't mind going back

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   The interview

    "That's my father's...""Yeah I know that's your father's company."He said beaming. It would be so nice if Azriel got accepted. If only I had a say in the matter, I would have convinced dad into taking him but I wasn't associated in family business. I never thought of working for it when I already got everything I ever needed without working hard for it."I would talk to my brother into hiring you to the company."I offered with a big smile but he wasn't even smiling anymore."No, Davina I am not being nice to you for that purpose. I think I've given my most honest answers in the form and if they like it, they would call me for an interview and I want to clear it myself. I want to judge my potential, and I will only be accepted if I'm deserving. Please don't do anything for me, Davina. I respect that you're willing to do it for me but I would rather prefer to achieve things that I truly deserve."He was such a great hard worker,

    "No, it's alright. We don't have much to catch up on. It's the same chat over businesses and families."Dylan said, and I knew how annoyed he gets from those conversations. He was the type of person who enjoyed more chats on random stuff, like games, music, sports, events, etc. . . ."Oh! You're right, I guess. "There was probably nothing more Niall would have said."You both can talk on privacy. I'll go back to my room. "Dylan suggested."No, it's alright. We can go to Davina's room, right? "He asked me."Yeah, why not? "I said as I rose from the couch. And Niall followed me to my room."It feels like ages since I have been here. It still smells the same... Books, candles, and...you. your smell is still my favorite."His words made something, tingle in my pit. He remembered how my room smelled and how I smell. And I thought he never noticed."Well, have a seat."

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   How fun is it!

    A waitress directed us towards a vacant table and tables here on the rooftop were mostly distant from each other as they were specifically meant for date purposes. But in my case, I just liked to visit here because of the great weather and scene of whole Las Vegas from here. It was beautifully decorated with candles and lighting, and in a way, that wind wouldn't be any bothered while we dine. We gave ordered our food, Azriel was mostly quiet and asked me to go for ordering the food even for him. I ordered Mexican food and he didn't seem to mind."How was your day? "I asked him."Pretty plain, like always, I was busy at the flower shop. "He answered and took a sip from his glass of water."Why do you work there? I mean, you're definitely working there for the money, I assume. Then, why work so hard for it? "I asked him the obvious question that came to mind. He was so hard working when managing the flower shop, which he d

    "Umm... Yeah, it was relaxing. "I felt energetic today."Good... I think I should get going now, I've to go home before reaching the office. "He said as he pulled over his T-shirt, which I have no idea when he pulled off."Sure. See you later. "I said as he we walked towards the door of my room and he planted a kiss on my forehead. I closed the door as he left.After taking a shower and having breakfast, I left for my father's office. I used to visit there almost every day, I liked visiting it."Good morning dad. "I said as I reached my father's cabin. The most prominently built office of the building. With a few of the most expensive paintings and fine pieces of furniture and gadgets."Morning, Dove. "My father said as he pulled me into a hug."I heard Niall stayed at home last night? "The happiness was evident in his voice. My father would be the happiest person

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Rich Man

    Benjamin was standing right at the door and greater me with a warm smile as he saw me. I reciprocated the action and was about to say something when he moved aside and I saw Alantino Russo sitting on of the chairs in our conference table. He was sitting so casually as if he was the owner of this property. The fuck was he doing here? My blood boiled seeing him and there was no way, I was going to spare him for this audacity. I walked right past Benjamin, I didn't care about him anymore."How dare you enter my property?! Get out!"I commanded but he didn't budge. Just smirked."What's the matter Valerie? Calm down. It's me who invited him here."Benjamin stated to my shock. Was he crazy to invite Alantino here? He already knew about our messed relationship. Yet he acted as if he didn't know anything."What? Why have you called him here?"Was my obvious question, I looked at Alantino as I asked Benjamin."I think

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Something is fishy

    I started observing his sharp features. The jawline, the nerves, his nose, closed eyes, eyelashes...and lips. They were so beautifully designed. He looked so angelic and no-one could tell how dangerous man he was, in this state."What are you looking at?"He questioned as he found me glaring."You looked so calm and peaceful."I told."I'm nowhere near to calm and peaceful Valerie."He corrected me. Who was he lying to all the time, the world or himself?"Why do you do that Enzo?"Finally I mustered the courage to ask that after observing him for sometime now."Do what?"He sounded clueless."Why do you put on mask in front of people? You aren't completely emotionless Enzo."I tried to insert some sense into him. He was definitely trying to fake the emotionless mask all the time."I know what I am Valerie and it's better you know it too. Don't think of

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   The meeting savior

    "We don't care about whatever business you are establishing in Milan. It's not my fucking territory and I don't care whatever happens here, Milan for me is only limited to Rexivo. So, I don't see any point why you decided to organise this meeting here and that too in our presence."Enzo retaliated and for once Benjamin listened without interrupting."I am interested to do this illegal racing business with you and Alantino. You are stronger in southern Italy where the young inducted soldiers would be willing to take part in such racings. But as Milan is the common interest of illegal businesses and investors for it I would like to establish it here, instead of southern Italy."Benjamin said calmly as if he was the most polite man here. We better knew the truth!"And how the hell is it gonna be advantageous for me?"The question proved Enzo was considering the idea of Benjamin."Bets will be made and if your soldiers are capable en

    Enzo and Duke performed as a good team and it didn't take them much time, finishing off half of Alantino's men. Even I hadn't expected that, I thought the night was gonna be end of us, it wasn't like, I didn't trust Enzo's strength but one could never underestimate Alantino too."Do you think, we can help them in anyway?"Chloe asked me."You think?"I said, gazing at the direction of those tall and muscular men. We wouldn't stand even a second."But we have to do something, we can't let them fight. They are so many and Enzo and Duke are gonna get tired up soon. We can't wait for that moment."Chloe stated as a matter of fact. She was right we couldn't just stand there and wait for men to complete their fighting. I was thinking of calling in the hotel to ask them to send more men when a car reached the spot and all of us were confused because, no-one took their ass in the direction where Russo and Amato were. Not in the sit

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Work

    We exercised for two long hours and it was 9:00 am now, leaving me an hour to get ready for work. I took a long hot shower bath, the exercising session was too exhausting for me. I took my time getting ready and when I was done, I checked my reflection for one last time in the mirror. It was a habit. Being punctual, exactly at ten, Enzo knocked the door and I opened it. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. "You only come to Rexivo to drop me and then you leave. You don't have to do that." I said as Enzo only go there to drop me and he only left once was took me to my office. He wasn't my driver, I couldn't expect that from him. "Don't worry about that. I do things that I am supposed to do and it's okay." He said not letting his emotionless mask off. I couldn't comment on that, it was Enzo and he wouldn't let me win. I walked out of the room and he followed me after closing the door. "I'll be leaving hotel soo

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Surprise

    Enzo took a seat beside me and across Duke. Chloe and I watched him in utter shock, as he didn't even cared to explain his sudden appearance and even Duke was calm on his seat. After settling down, he looked at my bewildered face and smiled."Would you bother to explain your sudden appearance?"I questioned."I called Duke to check on everything, he told me you were planning to dine here, so I came to join you."Enzo answered."What about Genoa? You didn't you go there today?"I asked."No, Valerie I don't go there everyday. I have businesses to attend in Milan too."He said simply and that's when I realised he must also have his illegal businesses going on in here. The waitress served us food and I was happy that Enzo joined us for dinner but I was cursing Duke in my mind for telling everything to Enzo. Of course, Enzo cared for me for his own reasons but I was capable of looking after myself. We ate our food quiet

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Great news

    "That's a great news, Chloe."I said and there was a big grin on her mouth."I should call Enzo, first."I said and Cloe handed me the cordless phone, she was holding. But I kept it back on it's place because I wanted to call him from my personal number and for some reason it fascinated me to talk to him on phone, with my personal number. Crazy, wasn't I? I took out my phone from my handbag and was about to call him when the door flew open and Enzo's tall, muscular, beautiful body walked in. There was this formal look on his face which made him look all the more gorgeous. I pushed the thoughts aside. He was only my boss, in a way as he was letting me handle his hotel, nothing else... Right?He looked at me and said,"Congratulations on your first big achievement."He said and smiled. This time the smile reached his eyes that meant he was genuinely happy."Well, our achievement."I corrected him and he chuckled. 

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   New office

    "I loved it."I admitted to Enzo and he was still standing at the door, observing my expressions."I'm glad you liked it, but I'll take my leave here. Your assistant Chloe Winthrop will help you in everything. Also I'll be returning late today, so I have asked one of my best soldiers to not leave your side until I am back. He is standing outside."He told me and I peeked out to find a tall, muscular man, dressed in formals with a straight body posture, standing beside the door. He was as tall as Enzo, but I still didn't believe anyone or rely on anyone as much as I did on Enzo. But it was good to know that he cared for me and assigned me a personal bodyguards to my service. If he wanted he wouldn't have bothered about my life. He wanted to play games with his enemies and anyone could have done the help for him if not me. But it felt so good to know that he actually cared for me."Have a safe trip. I'll do fine here."I assured him and h

    I panicked under Enzo's hand and he looked at me, I was petrified and nervous. Enzo followed my gaze and his grip on my shoulder tighten. Alantino made his way towards us with an unreadable face. I thought it wouldn't take me much efforts to face him, I thought I have mustered that much courage but somewhere I was wrong and for a second I thought of running away from there. But there was no turning back now, I had to face him, of I had to survive here and most importantly, to seek my revenge. I would only survive in peace, once I'd made sure that none of my adversaries, rest in peace."I suppose you have your hand on my property."Alantino said with a cold smirk to Enzo and then looked at me and the small hairs on my neck rose."Well, she is no one's property."Enzo said, pulling me towards him and exerting the more pressure in the word:property."You can't stay that close to her, she is my wife."Alantino stated as he tried to g

    I took a sigh of relief as the delivery guy handed me my order.I closed door and leaned against it, I wasn't sure what had made me this scared for opening the door but the relief I felt was equivalent as someone as removed a tons of weight from my back. I took the pizza and after pouring myself a glass of juice, I sat on the couch and ate it while watching TV. They were showing the Harry Potter series, the Voldemort was troubling the little boy. But Harry was able to muster the power to win upon the evil. I ate my pizza, watching the same movie, I had watched a tons of time. It was still fun to watch it. I ate my last slice of pizza and was already full to have the desert I ordered for myself. I was feeling dizzy but did not wanted to go to my room I decided on watching the TV until I could and eventually felt asleep in the couch, was too languid to switch off the TV.I don't know what time it was when I felt something moving and my body felt a lot more lighter.

    "Okay. I understood and I will contact Williams personally tomorrow."I said."Yeah but I would prefer you contact his right hand first and don't directly ask them to stay at our hotel. That will sound creep."He said as if I didn't knew that."Okay."I nodded."Don't you think you should be good at physical training as well. I will surely provide you a body guard but you should learn self defence too. As you would be the first mafia woman to run mob business."Enzo suggested and he was right. Once the legal proceedings were done I would have many adversaries who would try to get their hands on me. I wouldn't be some general girl, they would think of me as an equivalent enemy as Enzo."When can we start my self defence training?"I asked."Tomorrow morning but for now, the lawyer is coming to get our signatures on the lease, she had already taken from the other partners. Tomorrow the

  • Unlove me, I dare you!   Good weather

    It was sunny but all windy weather in the terrace and a good amount of people were having lunch there but it still barely filled only the half of the tables . Maybe, people mostly preferred having food in their suites."Come let's go there."Enzo pointed at a table which was decorated beautifully like it was arranged for a date."Isn't it reserved?"I asked him because maybe it was for some couple, why would they decorate it heavily, everyday."The reservation was cancelled."He said looking at his tab and then he pushed it toward me to take a look. There were rows and columns in the screen telling the table numbers and those who reserved or cancelled it."Hmm ...Quite a managerial work."I admitted.He smiled and we went towards the table and sat down, the smell of hyacinth and roses was exquisite and one can sit there until they fade. It wouldn't take long though. A woman approached us as soon as we settled on the table,
