Solane I moaned into his mouth as his firm hands grabbed my buttocks, giving them a squeeze while my hand slid up his shoulders, intertwining my hands behind his neck while he continued to kiss me like his life depends on it. “How did you find me in the kitchen?” I asked against his lips, curiously.His lips left mine, kissing my neck down to my cleavage, “Marcello asked me to come stay with you because he was busy at work.”His lips found my lips again, kidding and nibbling as if he had always craved this.Who would have thought Alessandro has so much fire inside of him?I leaned into him despite the thoughts that ran through my mind, ‘Am I really doing this? It's wrong. Marcello would be angry if he finds out.’That explains it, I want to break him in every way I can, make him regret ever touching the person that matters to me most. I want him to feel the pain of being betrayed like he did to me.“Fuck! Lane,” Alessandro moaned against my lips. I broke the kiss, gaze fixed on hi

Solane I can't leave Marcello's side until I'm done ruining him like he ruined my family. Who does this man think he is, to take me for himself? Thinking of it, he sounds familiar. I heard that name recently.“I see you might be dying to know how I got this,” he drawled, a smug glint flashing in his eyes.My lips parted slightly, curious on how he was able to get the things I had kept perfectly hidden away.“You thought you could go Scot free after killing one of my men by causing an accident?” He said, eyes blazing with raw anger.My brows furrowed slightly as the dot began connecting. Was he the man who got me kidnapped? I recalled the kidnapper mentioning his name once.“You got me kidnapped?” I asked, my voice shaking with disbelief.His grip tightened around my neck slightly, “kidnapped? I simply bought you but you caused my man to die in that explosion after stealing his phone and gun,” he muttered darkly.“I only got to know that his phone and gun weren't in the wreck then it

MARCELLO My gaze flickered, breath uneven as Solane’s name was mentioned, “Don't you dare,” I said,There's no way I was going to let Vaka own Solane, she's mine and would only be mine.“I knew it. You want to break off the engagement because of her,” Don VakaI hesitated, silence stretched between us for a moment, “Would you let your niece go into a loveless marriage?” I asked again,Don Vaka threw a punch to my face again but I was swift to dodge it. He charged and ate again, throwing his fist to my side, making me wince. I straightened my back, charged towards him and threw my fist against his jaw, sending him to the ground. We fought until we both dropped to the ground breathlessly.“Would you convince her or not?” I said The sound of our uneven breaths filled the air as I waited to hear his response. “I would only convince her if you let Solane go,” he said,I raised my weight from the ground, shaking my head slightly, “That would be impossible,” I spat“Then deal with it beca

MARCELLO “Uncle Vaka, meet my fiance, Marcello,” Tonia said, sweetly.Don Vaka's lips curled into a slight menacing smirk, disbelief creeping to his face and likewise mine.“Ahahahah,” a menacing laugh erupted out of his lips as his gaze narrowed on me. “Its such a small world! Don't you think, Marcello?”I lowered my gaze, not that I was intimidated by his presence but because things were getting more complicated. I had thought about talking to her uncle about ending the engagement even before it started but now, I don't even know where this was heading to.“Do you know eachother?” Nonnetta asked, her gaze drifting from him to me.“No,” I said, quickly.“Yes,” Don Vaka replied, the edge of his lips curling into a mocking smile.Without thinking, I stretched forth my hand to him for a handshake so as to wave off the awkwardness in the air. “It's nice meeting you, Uncle Vaka,” I said between gritted teeth.I couldn't allow him to say things that shouldn't be said, not in front of Nonn

MARCELLO “Give me a few minutes, Nonnetta,” I said, almost quietly, trying to avoid gritting my teeth due to the pain in my abdomen. “I'm in the middle of something.”“Don't take long, Marcy,” she said, voice soft but edged with urgency.My gaze drifted to Solane, who was now holding a towel out for me, “You would need to clean up really well of you don't want Nonnetta to see you covered in blood,” she said,I sighed,one hand resting against my injury, as my heart warmed at her thoughtfulness. I collected the towel from her then entered the bathroom to change my clothes.****By the time I stepped out of the bathroom, Solane was no longer in the room. I walked out of the study room after making sure that my body was well covered, the last thing I wanted was for Nonnetta to see the scratches and injury on my body.I walked to the direction of the living room where Nonnetta and the visitors were. “Chello!” Tonia's voice rang across the hallway happily as she came running to me, wrappi

CHAPTER 37Solane My gaze hovered over the message again, reading it over as if there were more to read. I let out a shaky breath as my heart pounded against my chest, coupled with the heaviness I have been feeling since my father was murdered.My lips curled into a fulfilling smile knowing that my father would be able to finally rest in peace but… something seemed to be wrong. My smile faded as I had expected to be overjoyed after avenging my father's death but right now I felt as if a large dark hole had formed in my heart. I felt empty instead of happy.I lowered my weight into the bed, heavy with thoughts, “What's wrong?” I muttered to myself.‘You had better get up and leave here real quick before his men find out that you were behind this,’ a thought dropped in my mind, making me jolt up from the bed.I hurried out of the room since I had nothing to pack up, my eyes scanning the hallway before walking through, just to make sure that I leave without being seen by others.I exhal

CRYSTAL I raised my head to look at the person who saved me after it seemed the reporter had left. My brow knitted together, “Jack? How come you are here?” I asked, frowning slightly.“I came here to assist you in case you have cold feet in front of the board of directors,” he muttered, his chest raised and fell as our gaze locked.His gaze flickered slightly, dropping to my lips while our legs cramped against each other in the small space.I looked away, breaking eye contact with him, “Huh…I think he's gone,” I said, stepping away from him.“Let's get going,” he said, opening the door slightly, looking out carefully just in case there was a reporter lurking around.I followed him from behind, walking towards the elevator that would take me to the conference room. We stepped out of the elevator, walking towards the place, there were noises inside the room.I let out a deep breath, readying my mind for whatever questions they would ask me.Jack patted my shoulder slightly, “You can d

CRYSTAL Our attention was keen on Jack, waiting for him to give us a way forward. His gaze drifted swiftly before gazing at the other two.“Someone would have to stand in as the CEO,” he said, his gaze drifting back and lingered on me.I let out an unbelievable laugh, “What are you insinuating? Hope it wasn't what I thought it was?” I asked, suspicion creeping into my voice.“You have to do this for Jaden's sake, Crystal,” Jack said, his voice firm but gentle, eyes pleading as his jaw tightened.My breath etched, fingers combed through my hair in frustration as I tried to picture myself in the CEO.. it wasn't a good picture.“There's no way you would want me to do that, Jack,” I said, shaking my head slightly. “Why don't you be the acting CEO instead? You can do it better than me.”“No, Crystal. It's not possible. I don't have a say in my friend's company because we don't own it together,” Jack added.“You are right, Mr Jack. I think we have to do something fast about this because be

CRYSTAL “I think you would love to hear the good news first. The surgery was successful,” the doctor announced.I heaved a sign of relief as the doctor spoke but there was this fear because he had mentioned that there was bad news. What could it be if the surgery was successful?“The injury was very deep, it cut through his intestine slightly, twisted it way around surrounding organs, making him unable to move for a while. He was still in comma and we are unsure if he would wake up anytime soon,” the doctor explained,Everything suddenly became blurry. I was expecting to see him, hug him and tell him how scared I was after the surgery was done and now the doctor was saying that my Jaden wouldn't be awake to see me.Jack was fast enough to steady me before I could fall backwards. “What do you mean, doctor? How could he have fallen into a coma? Was there something wrong with the surgery that you aren't telling us about?” Jack asked, “Watch what you say, young man. I won't allow any d

CRYSTAL Jack moved closer to me, blocking me before I could follow the officer, “Are you sure you want to do this now…I mean you are still very much shaky because of what happened?” He murmured concern, creasing his brow.My lips pressed together as tears stinged my eyes, threatening to fall. Jack pulled me into his embrace as he saw my hesitation, because I was still shaken. “You should go clean yourself up, Crys,” Ava said, worry tightening her features as she took a small step closer.“Yea, that's right,” officer kale said.One of the nurses directed me to the restroom accompanied by Ava. I took time to wash Jaden's blood off my hands. His blood was also on my face as a result of wiping away tears from my face. For a minute, I stared at myself in the mirror, sweat covered my forehead making strands of hair glue to my face.When it seemed I was taking more time in the bathroom, Ava came to get me, locking arms with mine as we walked back to where the policeman and Jack were.“I'm

CRYSTAL I ran over to him, my hands around his neck, trying to pull him up but instead I fell on him. I ran my hands over his body trying to figure out where the blood was oozing out from.“No! Jay…please, stay with me…I beg you,” I wailed, stroking his cheeks a little.I scrambled for my bag, searching for my phone, my mind was so disorganized,not recalling where I dropped it then my eyes landed on Jaden's. I collected it quickly, punching the 911 keys before pressing the phone to my ear.“Hello, this is 911 and how can I be of help to you this evening,” a feminine voice said from the other end of the phone.“Someone is injured…I mean stabbed and he is bleeding,” I said, my shoulders trembling as the words rolled off my tongue.“Where are you right now?” She asked.“Zenor’s Estate,” I replied, tears trickling down my face.“We will be there in 10minutes,” she said, her voice brisk but thick with urgency.I shook my head, “10minutes is a lot of time,” I wailed, dropping the phone by

CRYSTAL After some few minutes, Eva opened the door, this time around her hair was neatly packed in a ponytail, her face adoned with little make up, color creept to her cheeks as her gaze darted from me to Jack.“I apologize for leaving you outside. I had to tidy some things up,” she said, softly, her voice taking a slight change— more feminine than usual.Jack held my hand again, supporting me as we entered the apartment. His hand only left my arm when I lowered my weight onto the sofa.Ava's gaze hovered around as she followed from behind, “What happened?” She said, her voice laced with worry.“I sprained my ankle a little. Thanks to Jack who took me to the hospital,” I said, shrugging lightly even as a dull ache pulsed beneath the bandage.“I would be on my way now,” Jack said, already shifting his weight towards the door.“Thank you,” I muttered, a quiet sincerity settling in my tone.“Thank you for dropping her,” Eva said with a wide and suspicious smile.There she goes again sm
