ALEJANDRO ORTEGA She remembered everything. I’d heard her say it as I walked away from the room. I refused to believe another opportunity had slipped right through my fingers, but according to Intel from Techya, the way she worked now was different. The business tycoon, who many people feared, was back. When it came to Zesa, there was hardly any competition because she put herself and Techya in a position where not just anybody could climb up to. She was the kind of woman I needed. A woman who knew how to get what she wanted by pulling the right strings, unlike the immature woman I was expected to spend the rest of my life with. Zesa knew how to manage her finances, but all Sophia knew was about spending. Her family wasn’t even that well off. A pity. “Are you even listening to me?” I lifted my eyes from the book in my hand. The Mark of Exile. It was the sequel to The Corpse in the Fog—a crime story about a man killing the lover of the woman he desperately wanted. You co

ZESA RUSSO Having a career woman as a wife was one thing. Having a wife whose corporation does better than yours one another thing. I wasn’t gloating or anything. I was thankful, if anything. There were relationships out there where the men got upset because their wives were doing better or earning more than they were. Having a husband who didn’t care the slightest bit about such a thing was a blessing. It was even better if he stayed up at night, waiting for you to come home.With a content sigh, I raised my gaze from my computer to Finn and put my arms on the armrest of my chair. Finn stood on the other side of the table, holding a royal blue file in his hand. He selected a sheet of paper from the file and handed it to me.“It’s the opening schedule of the new Techya branch in Miami.” He said, taking a step back to gauge my reaction. His attitude toward me had changed. He no longer treated me as if I was a newbie. Instead, he not treated me like a boss he feared a little.

ZESA RUSSODISCLAIMER: Acts of sexual harassment in this chapter. Please read with caution. Alejandro crouched in front of me, waiting patiently with a smile for the effects of the drug to fully kick in. I stared at him, unable to speak or move, even though all I wanted to do was scream at him. I couldn’t, though. Taking the drink meant I signed up for this. Now I only wished I was the heroine in a storybook or a movie where the male lead would appear out of thin air and save me. I never thought I need saving until now. I needed someone to save me.“You look hot,” he said, reaching to take off my jacket.No. I’m not hot. Leave the damn jacket on. My thoughts had no power here. He stripped me out of my jacket and a prickling sensation shot up my spine when his fingers found the button of my dress shirt.“We can’t have you looking awful, now can we?”I wanted to scream at him to stop when he unbuttoned over two buttons. A wave of acid welled up in my stomach when he completel

ZESA RUSSO Levi left me by myself after dressing me in a green pants and a big white tee. He’d asked me to get some shut eye yet I found myself getting of bed and padding across the rug, hugging a fluffy pillow into my chest as I slid open the door in my room that led to a balcony that grew from the walls of the house as generous arms from a host, the metal, a patina of ocean greens and blues. I inhaled deeply, letting fresh air fill my lungs, a nippy breeze biting at my skin. The East side of the city stretched in front of me. It would have been a lot prettier if it was nighttime, with the neon lights of the clubs and lights from tall buildings. And if it was nighttime, I wished it would be a grim, dark line against an even darker sky. It’s a sad thought, but I didn’t want stars to shine and didn’t want the moon to get through either. I wished for an empty black canvas to match my mood.As I enjoyed the calming scenery before me, a knock sounded on the door. I knew it was

LEVI DEL CAMPA After making sure Zesa was comfortable and set to take a rest, I kissed her goodbye before leaving for Alejandro’s place. It wasn’t hard to find out where he lived. My mother had forced me to go there for a minor event he held about two years ago. She was trying to gain favor from him, but failed woefully. I parked my car in front of his gate, coincidentally arriving at the same time with Sophia. It was perfect timing because Alejandro would need someone to tend to his wounds by the time I was done with him. “What are you doing here?” she asked, advancing toward me. She wore a baggy dark blue denim jean with a beige shirt just as big and tucked the front in. On her feet were white sneakers and on her head was a black bucket hat. “I want to see your boyfriend. There’s something I need to talk to him about.” She nodded to herself. “You entrepreneurs always have a lot to talk about.” “It’s not about business. It’s about my wife.” Her countenance changed, and she stud

LEVI DEL CAMPA I was stunned, to say the least. Speechless even. I dragged my feet through the front door, halting momentarily when I saw Finn and Zesa in the living room, eating popcorn as they watched a movie. I don’t think I’d ever seen her watching something that wasn’t the news. What was this? I checked the time. 7.49p.m. He actually brought her home early, and she looked happy as she stared at me. “Come here,” she said, holding out her hand. I went to her, ignoring Finn, who was stuffing his face with popcorn. When I made eye contact with her, I felt shame. How could I tell her that my mother was the reason she was suffering? I forced a smile and sat down beside her. “What took you so long?” she queried, climbing onto my lap. Finn coughed loudly and stood up. “This is my cue to leave the premises.” He arranged his color, “Woe to us who aren’t married.” Zesa waved. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Women,” he sighed, going to pick up Zesa’s car keys from the table. “Dr

LEVI DEL CAMPA By the time Zesa was done putting on her clothes, I had already collected Finn’s phone from the table to go give it to him. That guy had the worst timing I could think of. Of all the times he could come in, it had to be now. Just when I was so close to orgasm. Then again, it was our fault. We didn’t lock the door. But who would have thought he’d come back for something as small as a phone? I went outside to see Finn rubbing the back of his neck. He appeared to be as flustered as I was. He darted his eyes to Zesa when she came out.“I swear I did not know you’d be going at it in the living room. I just came for my phone.”“How much did you see?” she asked, eyeing him.I didn’t really think it was that necessary to know, but oh well. It was her body, so I guess she had the right to want to know if her male best friend of many years saw what she looked like down there. It was weird to think of.“I’d rather not go into the details.” He waved the car keys at her.

ZESA RUSSO I took a step back away from Levi and closed my eyes for a moment. I couldn’t comprehend what he was saying. It didn’t seem right. After everything I’d gone through, it just didn’t feel real. I couldn’t imagine Marie killing a person or having a hand in their death in such a manner. It was no secret she was a power greedy woman, but what did she stand to gain from Isiah’s death? I let out a huff of air when the reason crossed my mind. Levi. He was the reason she killed Isiah. She was making sure no one would try to take her son’s place in my life. “Zesa.” One of Levi’s hands grasped my shoulder, the other going under my chin to make me look at him, “I’m sorry.” “Why?” I gave a wide, strained smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “You have no reason to be sorry. Did you hire anyone to run him over, or did you know of her intentions of killing Isiah?” When he shook his head, I continued. “Then you have no reason to be sorry. The person I have an issue with is Marie. Not you.” “

ZESA RUSSO Fifteen minutes later, Levi arrived at the orphanage. It made me happy to know that he’d stopped by somewhere to get the kids gifts because he had bags upon bags of gifts. While the nuns shared the gifts amongst the kids, Levi joined me in Juliane’s office. I still hadn’t swallowed down what she had said. Was it when we did it in the car? But it had been over three weeks since then. Dear Lord, please save me.“Hey,” I was forced out of my thoughts when I felt Levi’s hand on my thigh.“Huh?” His eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. “You’ve been spacing out.”“I have a lot on my mind.” I responded, managing a small smile for him. To change the subject, I turned to Juliane who was staring at me before I even looked in her direction. She had succeeded in dropping a heavy bomb on me and she knew it. “What were you saying about the adoption?”Juliane averted her eyes to Levi. “Mr. Del Campa, earlier I suggested adoption to your wi

ZESA RUSSO Ever since the release of Veltrina-50, Techya got more attention from companies abroad and a lot more than normal in the country. I was proud of the researchers who made it possible and, because of that, increased their pay. They deserved that much. Back then, I thought we would be unable to perfect the drug, but the result exceeded my expectations. I’d just wrapped up a meeting with the researchers to thank them since I could not do it at the time of the release.With Leandra by my side, I made my way to my elevator, only stopping when I saw Eric come out of an elevator. We’d failed to talk about things the last time we saw each other. I looked over my shoulder at Leandra. “I’ll be up soon.”“Alright, ma’am.”I walked over to him, noting how he had a file with the company’s name on it. His brother must have given it to him.“Eric,” I said, tapping him lightly on the shoulder. He turned around with a smile that immediately disappeared and his expression turned bu

ALEJANDRO ORTEGADISCLAIMER: This chapter contains slight sexual harassment. Read at your own risk. {After the first _}THREE WEEKS LATER I was livid with the betrayal of Enzo, Sophia, and her father. They cast me aside, and left me to suffer the very minute I found myself in a ditch. Even my father would have done the same if he hadn’t been caught trying to flee the country. The pain of knowing that he wanted to choose himself and leave me to suffer on my own sank deep into my flesh and into my bones.I stood before the court as they announced my sentence before Zesa Russo, whose face looked like it hurt from smiling too much. She reached into her purse and pulled out a rainbow colored handkerchief to wipe at her nonexistent tears. What did she offer Sophia that was just too irresistible that she let go of her so-called love for me? Was it always that easy to get rid of me if I proved to be useless to her? Had she lied to me the entire time?I looked at the man beside

FINN GIOVANNI After Zesa showed me what dirt she had on Alejandro’s father, I was disgusted. Harming people without remorse was really their thing. Once she’d sent the mail to a news station, I saw her happiness double. I was glad she wanted revenge as much as I did. It brought joy to my soul. In a few hours it would be released and people would want to know the truth. Their stocks would drop and they would be taken to court and humiliated. What better revenge was there than watching the person who hurt my sister go down with his father and cherished company?I trailed behind Zesa with my hands in my pocket as she made her way to Alejandro’s room where four police officers were situated outside. The two at the door moved to the side to let us in. Sophia had already beat us and boy, was she furious. Her body shook with rage as tears rolled down her face. Alejandro simply took it in with his head lowered. What was this? He wasn’t snapping at her because I knew very well he wa

ZESA RUSSO I’d never had sex in a car before. Until now.Levi unlocked the car and I slid into the backseat, taking off my heels and panties as I watched him go around the car to the driver’s side before proceeding to amp up the A/C. He joined me in the back after making sure he’d locked everywhere. “This is nerve-wracking,” I whispered softly, reaching my hand out to his groin to unbuckle and unzip the clothes in my way.“That’s what makes it fun.” He responded, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth, releasing a moan that told me he needed a release and that I was the only one who could do something about it.He lifted himself slightly and peeled down his boxers, revealing the tip of his bloodshot cock that was clearly causing him a lot of anguish, as it lay engorged over his belly, malformed in how it curved to the side. It throbbed and twitched as though happy to see me. He bucked his hips and his drooling dick rose, head pointed straight at my face.My hand hovered

ZESA RUSSO By the time I arrived at the spa, Sophia was already there and had settled in. A worker directed me to the massage room after I stripped out of my dress and draped a robe over my body. I opened the door and was pleasantly surprised by the interior that seemed to differ from what I’d seen so far. The room boasted sandy-pink walls and a dramatic tiered ceiling, which staggered upwards into a cone-like shape. In the middle of the room were two beds, both covered in crisp white sheet that with a towel on top, save for the pillows. It seemed she wanted an oil massage for me. Close to the door was a green terrazzo vanity that brought back the natural vibe the spa gave off. On one bed was Sophia with her head turned away from me while a masseuse massaged her legs. Another masseuse stood at the foot of the bed I was to occupy. I looked towards the table close to the window with two vases and a phonograph that played soft, classical music. It was soothing and created a

ZESA RUSSOOne of the hardest things I’ve ever had the displeasure of comprehending was the funeral of a child.I’d heard that one of the things a parent wished for was to be buried by their child when they become old and wither away like a flower. Not the other way around. This was clear to me as I drowned in my sorrows, feet marching into this black abyss called a graveyard. In the snow and frigid air, all I could hear was the heavy, pounding feet of others as we marched as one. I and Levi’s hands clenched together, gripping at each other as though the pain would subside if we squeezed hard enough. It was purely a superficial comfort to help console others, rather than ourselves.I stood shivering next to a deep hole that had been dug where the casket would be lowered into. While waiting for the pallbearers to deliver the body, I thought about what my life would be like once mother earth swallowed him up. How it would feel to sleep knowing that his cries wouldn’t wake me up in the mi

FINN GIOVANNI Malena and I sat side by side in an awkward silence beside Sophia who had regained consciousness and was currently crying her eyes out. We’d told her everything, and it somehow ended up with her crying. Was it out of disappointment or just the feeling of hurt? I couldn’t tell.“How could he do such a thing to me?” she sobbed, her shoulders shaking as droplets of pain dropped from her eyes. “I knew he was an asshole, but this is too much. He lied to me about an engagement,” she wiped at her tears. “Got a woman out of jail when she’s supposed to be in there serving her time. Now, how am I supposed to face my parents and friends?”“Sophia.” Malena put her hand on Sophia’s in a bid to console her. “You shouldn’t be crying over such a person. He isn’t worth it. No man deserves your tears.”“I know,” she sniffled. “But I love him.”She lowered her eyes to her thighs. “We sometimes love the wrong ones.” It was like a punch to the gut when she looked at me. “Doesn’t m

ZESA RUSSO The police were taking too long to arrive. I was losing my patience. Whilst I waited in the car for them to arrive, Alejandro drove past me. Why now of all times? Why would he come in now? I glanced around the house’s surrounding. There was no sign of Nina. She was long gone into the house, though. If she was dead, I did not know. I got down from my car after watching Alejandro go in. There was not enough time to wait. If he were to get his hands on the contract, he would not hesitate to kill Levi. I couldn’t have that. The least I could do was stall.With my heart beating loudly in my ears, I got closer to the house. Thankfully, he’d left the gate open, so I did not have to draw attention to myself by touching the metal. I lifted my leg to take another step when I heard a blood-curdling scream. I halted in my steps when I realized that the voice belonged to Nina. Something had happened. I looked down at my hands to see that they were quivering with fear with eac
