11. CEO

I stare at the text again and again, a shiver running down my spine. An eerie feeling wraps around me as I attempt to call the mysterious number, only to be met with the chilling response of it being invalid.Returning to the room, Giovanni, casually pouring himself a glass of wine, senses my unease. He drops the crystal glass on the table as he notices the distress etched across my face."What's wrong?" he inquires, his sharp eyes probing mine.Attempting to mask my anxiety, I mutter, "Nothing, just a wrong number."His gaze intensifies, and he presses, "Who called you?""Just a mix-up," I say. Unconvinced, Giovanni steps closer, concern etched on his formidable face. He cups my chin forcing me to look up at him as he demands the truth. I reluctantly bring out my phone and show him the ominous text message. He examines it silently but a visceral feeling radiates off him and the room becomes cold. The room charged with an unspoken threat."I'll get to the source of this, don't worry

12. Mother-in-law from hell.

"Emily dear, how are you? it's been such a long time." Her smile is similar to the big bad wolf's. I had lived with her all those years, I wasn't moved nor fooled by it. "Aren't you going to ask me to sit?" She queries impatiently. I reluctantly gesture to one of the chairs In front of my desk. Her eyes scan my office not missing a single detail, I watch as a slight frown comes across her face. "This is nice. It's homely," She praises in her way. Mama Lockwood doesn't give out compliments freely. I smile stiffly, "Thank you, ma'am.""Let's get down to why I'm here, it must come off as a shock to see me here this morning. Emily dear I know we've not always seen eye to eye and I want us to set our differences aside. Come back home to Zachary, I'll be willing to forgive you for leaving. I know you wronged Zachary but he's willing to take you back and that's fine. You love him don't you?" She says. I look at her incredulously. What?!!"With all due respect Mrs Lockwood, your son che

13. Questions

I sip my coffee and try to relax."Is everything all right?" Her voice filled with worry as she asked me. I look around the café, trying to gather my thoughts and make sense of the situation. The bodyguard was standing by the car and I relax a bit but at the same time, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my mind."Um... everything's fine," I said finally, trying to reassure Salma and myself. But deep down, I knew that everything was far from fine.My phone rings and Giovanni's name pops up on my screen. My heart skips a beat as I answer the call."Emily, where are you?" Giovanni's voice sounded urgent."I'm at a cafe, it isn't far from the office. Why, what's happening?" I reply my voice shaky. "Your mother sent a concerning message to me," Giovanni continued, "She said she got a scary message and asked if I was with you."My mind raced as I tried to think of what could have scared my mother so much."Get out of wherever you are Emily, it's not safe. I'll b

14. Control

"We need to report this to the police Mom," I say to her."No-no, there's no need for that," She says shaking her head vigorously. She looked distressed. "What do you mean there's no need? This is a serious matter, I'll just grab my phone from my bag and tell them about this," I retorted, rummaging through my bag for my phone. "No, Emily. You will do no such thing. Don't involve the police in this situation," my mother insisted, her tone becoming more serious.I am taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor as I look at her in astonishment. I look at my phone and then back at her. I didn't know what to do. "Okay Mom, let's just wait for Giovanni to come back home." I finally say, dropping my phone. She nods her head. I spend the rest of the day, telling her about father's company, Salma, Reynolds. I talked about anything, trying to get her mind off the message. It wasn't until evening that Giovanni arrived. I was so relieved to see him that I didn't know what came over me as I

15. Will of fate

His touch was gentle, yet firm, as he traced the curves of my face. His movements are slow and soft yet urgent. As I pressed my lips against his, I could feel the electricity coursing through my body. The familiar taste of his lips, the way they fit perfectly with mine, our tongues dancing together, sent shivers down my spine. I could feel the intensity building between us, wanting more with each passing moment. His hands roamed my body, pulling me closer to him. I could feel his warmth radiating through his touch, making my knees go weak. I ran my fingers roughly through his hair, pulling him even closer as I deepened the kiss. I could feel his breath quicken, his heart beating in sync with mine. Our bodies molded together perfectly, as if they were made to fit together. The heat and passion between us burning strongly.As our lips parted, I looked into his eyes and saw the desire in them, he wanted more and so did I. I couldn't resist the urge to taste him again, to feel the rush

16. LA

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. My car door was banged on repeatedly. The figure wore a baseball cap, so I couldn't see the face clearly. I hoped to God that whoever it was would just go away. The person looks up and I gasp.It was Zachary. I rolled the window down. "Zachary! What in God's name are you doing? Why are you following me? What is your problem" I yell at him. I'm relieved that it's just Zachary. I glare at him, wondering what he wanted this time and why he went all this way. Won't I ever be free of this man. "Open the door Emily, I need to talk to you?" He says in a commanding tone. That triggered me, I'd spent most of my marriage with Zachary always telling me what to do, without me talking back to him or having another opinion to what he had to say. "No I won't, I don't want to have anything to do with you again? Haven't you no shame? What in God's name do you want from me this time?"He sighs frustratedly, "Please Emily, I just want to talk to you" He pleads. I hesitat

The two power couples have been seen getting cozy together at the last diamond ball in Los Angeles. Could there be a wedding in the ropes?

I realize that Mark was still there, taking a deep breath, I drop my phone. "Thank you Mark, you can go now." I say to him. He looks at me with an inquiring look but doesn't say anything as he silently leaves and closes the door. I pick up my phone again and as I scroll through my phone, I realize that this news is all over the media. I can't believe that Giovanni, who had been avoiding me, is now getting marrie

18. Red lips

I calmed down a bit. Russo chuckles "You've got yourself a feisty one here, Nipote" His booming laughter resonates throughout the room. He had completely deviated from the previous conversation. He studies me "You've got your father's eyes, It looks like you've got his balls too." He continues "Your father must have left you with a hefty will, what did dear old daddy put in his will?" I clench my hand together at the mention of my father. "That's none of your business, Russo" Giovanni says but his words reveal simmering anger as the room grows hotter. I gently placed my hand on his thighs from under the table, he grabs my hand and squeezes it slightly without looking at me. "Why so serious, nipote? This is meant to be a warm dinner right? It's all jokes" He laughs, the sound beginning to sound irritating to my ears. I just wanted him to stop. "I need to discuss something with you in private," Giovanni says to his uncle while he stands. "Can't it wait after dinner? You've barel

19. Dirty Diana

She was clad in a black long body con off shoulder dress which revealed a bit of her cleavage. She had long straight hair and high cheekbones. She was very attractive and young. Jasmine gets up "Diana darling so glad you could make it, how was the journey?", She asks her as she greets her warmly. "Mother, it was tiring but I feel much better now that I'm back in LA. I need a shower" She says as she hugs Jasmine. Mother?Now that I look at the two, they had some resemblance. They had the same cat like eyes and blue eyes. "Emily this is Diana, my daughter, Giovanni's Cousin.""Jasmine this is—"Emily Rivera." Her cat like eyes lands on me and her face grows into one of distaste. "I know."''What is she doing here?'' She sneers, looking at me with disgust.''I'm family, aren't I?" I respond, holding her glare, ''So it's only natural for me to be here with my husband to meet his family.''Mia's glare intensified as she hissed, "You won't be family for long, not after your little escapa

20. Heartbreak

It was sinister. I stare at her as she continues to look at me unblinkingly. "What's wrong?", Giovanni asks softly, he then turns his head too when he notices where I was looking at. He sighs "Diana what do you want?"Diana smiles and draws closer to us. She looked even more intimidating up close. "Now, now dear cousin no need to be so mean, especially when I just want to apologize for my behavior earlier".She stops and looks between us, then she fixes her eyes on me. "Emily my love, I know I was a bitch but I want to apologize. I was just looking out for your interest, I don't want you to feel Intimidated by everything that's going on" She takes my hand and I feel Giovanni stiffen up. "Don't touch her" He growls. She looks at him and drops my hand, rolling her eyes. "To show that I'm truly sorry, I want to invite you to a grand party I'm hosting at the lore house happening this weekend.I didn't trust Diana already and I was still feeling suspicious. I look at Giovanni who was
