CorneliusI hesitantly looked at the phone screen taking a deep breath before pressing the green call button.His phone rang and rang, so much that it made me nervous to stay in one place. Deciding that it would be much better to hear about Lydia while standing, I got off my chair walking towards the large transparent window."You haven't called me in ages. How is she doing?"I asked him. He had only one job, to follow Lydia around, know what she was doing and report to me but the simple task seemed difficult for him despite me paying him handsomely."Sir, I'm in New York right now. I got orders not to follow Lydia Hayden anymore"He spoke over the phone and I gnashed my teeth."What do you mean you got orders not to follow her? I gave you the job, am the one paying you!"I lashed out,"who gave you the orders?""I did", Chance's voice came from behind me and I hung up the phone.I tried sounding calm by going back to my chair and seating down. Crossing my fingers on the desk, my eyes d

Chapter 32

LydiaWhen Veronica said I wouldn't be alone this weekend, I didn't think she would invite me out much less to a night club. "Isn't it great?" She asked with a smile on her lips."It's something, alright",Henley said behind me.It was ironic, that we, as the only women who worked for Carlos Santana were hanging out. I had tried to avoid coming here but Veronica wasn't the type of woman to say no to. Henley on the other hand, tagged along because she was as bored as I was doing nothing in Carlos' house.My boss, Carlos Santana or in this case our boss, was at the moment in Mexico. Accompanied by his rugged good looks turns out the man was also a family man attending a family dinner in his grandfather's home at San Miguel de Allende."Come on, you don't like it?" Veronica pulled up a frowning face whilst I and Henley gazed at the rowdy people dancing with neon stick lights in their hands.The music was too loud but nice, the bar was too crowded and I would bet by lucky nickle that not

Chapter 33

LydiaI pouted leaning in for a kiss. A kiss that I wanted so badly to happen.I closed my eyes as the song 'Happy by Pharrell Williams' got all my nerves giddy. I couldn't wait to have his lips on mine, to feel his earthly scent of sandalwood arouse my senses.Whatever type of drink that bone dry martini was, it was working. I felt like I was flying, literally in the clouds with the strikingly handsome man infront of me.I don't know but leather did make him look good. He reminded me of Tony Padilla from 13 reasons why, only less Spanish and more American. I left his thin warm lips on my cheek and the smiley face I had turned to a frown."W..what was...that?""A kiss. Now let's go",he grabbed my arm but I refused to move."I can't""What now? I thought a sober you was hard to handle but you are even more stubborn when you are drunk!" He spat and I chuckled at his expression.He was so mad. So angry like I was punishing him when all I wanted was for him to loosen up. He said I was up

Chapter 34

CorneliusI had flown to Italy for a small vacation with my family. Technically it wasn't a vacation since I was only there for my cousin, Nicole. Something about her clothes being featured at Milan's fashion week.I didn't want to attend the freaking show but since my aunt had been relentless in trying to patch 'the broken heart' she thought I had, I had no choice but to fly to Milan first thing Nicole asked me to.Invited to her show were ofcourse my aunt Victoria, Chance, my cousin Cain and his fiance Leila Urquillo who was three or four months pregnant. There was a high probability that I would run into him and I for the first time didn't care.Sure we never saw eye to eye with Cain but I decided to let bygones be bygones. My dad was gone and there was nothing we could do about it rather than move on.I arrived in Milan a little late about nine p.m. I thanked my pilot before I went to rest after the long flight in Hotel Da Vinci. Chance was also set to arrive in Milan by tomorrow

Chapter 35

LydiaKrrrrr. Krrrrr. Krrrrr.What was the use of the vibrating icon on a phone really? Because in all honesty, my phone still buzzed inside something and even from whatever dream world I was stuck in, I could hear it.I lazily slung my hand on the wooden nightstand, my hand aimlessly trying to find where the damn machine was crying from. Unable to find it, I lazily got up from the bed, a headache coming in like I had somehow been struck with lightning.Damn those martinis! I cussed, my fingers running through my hair as a futile attempt in trying to bring the headache down. Once I could see clearly, I searched around for where my phone was buzzing from. I later found my purse on the floor and from there I got my phone.I swiped the screen seeing Veronica's name pop up."It's too early to be calling, don't you think?"I asked turning my head sideways in an effort to get rid of the stiffen muscles around my neck.My whole body was sore. I really slept badly and I was still having the s

Chapter 36

JAMIEI had been to Milan, to Paris, to Moscow, to Dubai, to Mexico and from all of those places I had met a lot of women. Some I slept with, some I dumped, some I liked but the woman sleeping in my arms couldn't match any other woman I had slept with or liked.When my father sent me to do his bidding like he always does; I was surprised to learn that I would be stalking a woman. A woman who according to my father could drag our whole business to the mud if we weren't keeping a close eye on her.The orders were, follow her, don't talk to her and if she were to do something out of the ordinary, I wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through her head. Yet it had been weeks and in the first few days I had already collided with her, I always hesitated to talk, to do something crazy that would scare her off or to be myself.When I heard Cornelius Powers, my father's most trusted associate was losing his touch because of a woman, I had merely let out a chuckle.What would one woman have that t

Chapter 37

Lydia"Was it good?" Veronica asked me and I wondered what to say."Yeah. I think. Maybe?" I replied awkwardly watching her give me a rather weird look."You've never had sex before, have you?" She chuckled and I rolled my eyes.When I told her about my thrilling sex escapade with Jamie yesterday the last thing I expected was for her to act like this. And by this, I mean shipping me with Jamie.I wasn't ready. I don't think I would ever be but what happened between me and Jamie was something that I didn't regret. "I have. Twice. Thrice maybe", I lied. Who am I kidding, the only time I had sex was with Cornelius and yes, it was my first time.The memory of his body on top of mine as he gently pushed inside me would forever be engraved in my mind as well as in my heart. It was the memorable night of my life and at the same time my worst. I should have hated Connor. I shouldn't have been thinking about him and now? Look at me, I was pathetic gushing over him."Why do I seriously doubt th

Chapter 38

JAMIE KING"I want you back in Milan as soon as possible""What about her?""She's harmless. Connor is on the right track, business is good and the last thing I want is you wasting your time on her""Couldn't she be a potential threat in the future? Think about it""She has nothing on us. She's not a loose end""Still, I think it's better if I keep a close eye on her, don't you think?""What's really going on? Since when did you start questioning my orders. It's about this girl, no? You fell for the rigazza americano, didn't you? Fucking stupid, Joaquin! I want her gone, you are right. She is a threat, to you, to the business and to me.Either you do it or I'll do it myself and you know how that will turn out right? Two days, Joaquin. Two""Papa? Dad--fuck!" I groaned throwing the damn phone on the ground.I was fucked. Lydia was fucked. I had just ruined her life and I felt shitty. Lydia was a good woman, kind, funny, and one who didn't deserve to be involved in this mess. How would

Chapter 39

LYDIAI couldn't breathe as reality crashed my head like a ten story drop.The bulky man's grip tight around my neck, I braced myself for death."Mafioso knew you wouldn't kill her. He knew the body was a fake Gioacchino! You betray us? You betray your father for her?"My ears peaked at the mention of Mafioso and my past came crushing in like a tsunami wiping the little gripples of reality holding me from diving into insanity.Gioacchino? He was Jamie. Jamie King not…not…Gioacchino!My next door neighbor who I was prepared to be in a relationship with. The only constant in my life that made sense."Rocco put the gun down. S-she's innocent", Jamie, Gioacchino or whatever name he went by begged and my eyes stared at him unbelievably and the Glock he was pointing in our direction."No brother. She's ruining us", the man with a vise grip said in a low tone, the gun's nozzle digging into my skull like hot iron.I could taste death. I could already feel my heart thumping so loud with an ach

Chapter 40

CORNELIUS"On the bed, legs apart", I grunted taking a sip of my scotch.Naked, legs apart, she looked back her eyes meeting mine with desire written over them.I'd fuck her, sure but looking at the woman on my bed was pitiful.How long would I continue doing this shit? A month? Years? I mean sex was fucking sex but it couldn't compare to Lydia Ha—No, I was not going there. She was the past. She was fucking some limp dick in Santa Monica which was saying she didn't give two shits about me."Come on Connor. You can't leave me here like this"Wanda. Amanda. Amelia. Whatever her name was purred like a constipating tiger and I groaned a loud fuck myself for the shit unfolding infront of me.My glass half empty, I placed the darn thing on the counter and I would have taken the brunette on my bed bareback had it not been for the incessant ringing of my cell.Whipping out the phone from my pants, the called ID reading Carlos Santana, my heart skipped a fuckin beat.He wouldn't called if it
