AUTHOR’S POVDon Pedro and Franco were still deep in conversation on the balcony of the beach house, they had been there for about an hour or more.They were laughing heartily and puffing smoke when trouble came knocking.Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a guard’s heavy footsteps. The guard rushed toward them, breathless and wide-eyed. “Sir! Sir, you need to come quickly—there’s trouble in the back!”Pedro’s eyes flashed, and he straightened instantly, throwing his blunt away. “What sort of trouble?” he barked, turning to Franco.The guard, panting, reported, “Tessa… Miss Tessa has jumped into the water at the back of the house. She’s… she’s drowning!”The world seemed to speed up for Pedro. His heart pounded with sudden alarm as he exchanged a startled look with Franco. “What?” Pedro shouted, his voice roared with disbelief. “Bring me to her —now!”Within moments, Pedro and a few of his men sprang into action. Pedro rushed toward the back of the house,

It was merely just the sounds of slapping flesh, grinding and clashing teeth’s that filled the living room and to Tessa’s disappointment, Don Pedro was actually making out with the woman she detested.She was still by the bedroom door, peeping, as Natalie and Pedro stood barely inches apart. The bouquet of flowers Natalie had brought for Tessa, sprawled lifeless on the floor, their vibrant colors and delicate fragrance complimented the deceit behind Natalia’s visit. Natalie’s legs crushed the petals absentmindedly, her eyes locked on Pedro’s, her lips parted in a way that was both innocent and salaciously inviting. Begging to be kissed, fucked.There was hunger in her eyes and she didn’t care. Not for a second, that Tessa may walk in any moment.All she wanted was a piece of Don pedro’s DNA inside her.Pedro’s eyes burned with desire, his jaw contracting as he took a step closer to her, savoring her feminine scent, his broad shoulders towering over her, filling her vision as she

The evening was fast setting in, and the lights in the bedroom looked like they were dying out but that's just how they were faint. I was trying so desperately to pretend I was asleep. Visual images of Pedro fucking the hell out of Natalia repeatedly flashed through my mind, a mental torture I did not subscribe for. Their soft whispers of pleasurable bliss and muffled moans echoed in my head. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping that if I stayed still, I could escape those memories. Moreover, I wasn’t ready for another confrontation with one who must not be named. Then, I heard it: a distinct thump of a door slamming shut. My heart skipped a beat. I recognised that sound immediately— Natalie had probably left . A cold sensation slithered through me as I strained to hear further noises. I was back to being alone with that fool. He didn't even let me heal from the damage he had cost me before fucking another woman! How could he so easily fuck Natalie like that, while I was left to

Tessa’s POV The room was silent except for the faint buzz of the air conditioning. It was the only thing that seemed to regulate the temperature in here.I could still hear Pedro’s footsteps echoing down the hallway, growing distant, I even assumed he was out of the house or somewhere around the door.Good. Let him leave. Let him go and put on his perfect act for the world while I stayed here, solitude was the next best thing after peace of mind.Minutes passed, maybe longer, and then—The door swung open again.I barely had time to react before Pedro stepped back inside, the frustration evident in his face.I sighed. “I thought you left.”He ignored that.“You really don’t want to come?” His voice was calmer now, but there was an edge to it. “This is the biggest night of the trip, Tessa. Everyone will be there.”“I was very clear when I don’t care,” I replied simply.His nostrils flared slightly. “You don’t care that people will talk?”“They already do.” I met his stare evenly. “An

The madness was just getting started!For Tessa, this was just an avenue for her to lash out and blow some steam. Natalia was the stupid bitch that had been getting on her nerves, and it was either this moment or never. In between growls, Tessa seized a fistful of Natalia’s hair and dragged her roughly across the floor and gave her four resounding slaps on both cheeks in split seconds.And then she swept Natalia across the floor, leaving her to crash under tables.When Natalia tried to get up and fight back, Tessa jumped at her again, racing her to the ground, both pulling at each other's hair. Screams of dismay and shuffling feet filled the air as people rushed to pull the two apart. Amid the chaos, Pedro tried to pull Tessa away from her yelling at her to get a hold of herself. Both ladies were separated momentarily. Cassy stepped forward with a trembling voice. “Natalia, is she saying the truth?” she asked. Natalia, still reeling and trying to compose herself, shook her head f
