Caught in the place between wakefulness and sleep,Fabiola stirred feeling so comfortable…She opened her eyes to be greeted by a sleeping handsome face…Her eyes dilated realizing that she was on the bed.“Oh No!”She quickly sat up and mentally checked herself…She had slept on the couch…How did she get on the bed?She’s still had her clothes on,that was a good sign.And between her legs felt normal…okay.Lorenzo sat up,stretching his arms…“What’s with you?”He asked,annoyed that she had woken him up.“How did I get on the bed?I vividly remember falling asleep on the couch.”“And you would have woken up with a stiff neck if I hadn’t carried you to the bed.”He replied.She crossed her arms over her chest.“You…you carried me?”His jaw clenched.”Your prudish behavior is driving me insane!”He got off the bed and she fell back against the pillow.Well,she slept comfortably and he didn’t touch her…she should be grateful about that.As she sat up again,her eyes widened seeing him taking of
It seemed that Lorenzo had spotted her trick; he wasn't about to let her off the hook."The bracelet..."Fabiola clenched her fists. He always threatened her with this, but she was powerless to resist. "FINE!" she agreed helplessly.But she still swallowed fearfully when she looked at the pasta that had been covered in red paprika.Was this really going to be eaten ..."What's wrong, it's not delicious?" Lorenzo asked knowingly.Humph, Fabiola thought with chagrin; she wasn't stupid, but how did she keep getting bullied by him?"I...suddenly remembered that I'm not hungry at all, so why don't I give you all of it?" Fabiola said sarcastically, but suddenly her stomach rumbled with hunger."No... not me!" Fabiola cursed her stomach for not holding out a little longer; the sound made her lose face in front of this man.Lorenzo grunted coldly and said "Remember, don't use such stupid tactics against me in the future.""I know I'm wrong, can I go then?" Fabiola wanted to escape; she was re
Fabiola stared at him angrily, chagrined at how easily she had been seduced by him.How could she have such poor composure when it came to him? She had been intimate with Dante before, but she had always been able to keep herself sober and in control.The man at the door heard no response from inside and knocked again."Come in." spoke Lorenzo indifferently and Fabiola looked over at him as he completely gathered up his mess and returned to his towering presence once more.In contrast, her hair was loose and the folds of her dress were clearly visible. Look, men were always quick to draw back! Next time, she must remember to resist those sugar-coated bullets with determination!The door to the office was pushed open and a beautiful and sexy woman stood outside the door.She was about to think that this woman might have been one of the women obsessed with him but her eyes caught the woman’s company’s ID which was hung around her neck.“Camila Suarez,CEO’s secretary.”Lorenzo’s secretar
In the lift, Fabiola pressed the button, but it seemed the lift deliberately attempts to make things difficult for her, which stops at the first floor and doesn’t move.She was afraid that Lorenzo would see her mess and just as she was about to take the stairs, the lift arrived and opened.Fabiola ran in the lift with her head down.She gasped as she bumped into someone who was about to walk out.The milkshake in the person’s hand spilled,splashing on both of them.“What the hell!”The woman exclaimed as they both got out of the elevator.Fabiola felt remorseful about bumping into her like that.“I’m so sorry.Are you okay?”She asked.“Do I look okay to you?”She snapped.”These clothes cost me a fortune!”As she spoke,she tried to fruitlessly wipe herself up.Fabiola stared at her uneasily.Glancing at her company’s ID,she seemed to be an employee here.Not just an ordinary employee…judging by her appearance…she seemed really sophisticated.She was now desperate to get out of here, so she
When they got into the underground garage, Fabiola pushed him away.Even though he had just stood up for her, it didn't make up for the grievance she felt inside. She knew she looked like she didn't know any better to outsiders. She should be grateful to have had a man as good as Lorenzo, with money, power, and good looks, for even a second.But she found herself unable to do so. Although she had come from the slums, she had survived on her own, and she felt she was no less worthy than he was, and they were now in a mutually beneficial partnership. Although she had asked him for help, she had also helped him to keep out a lot of gold-diggers. So she decided that she must not forgive this jerk so easily!Lorenzo looked at the woman in front of him with her mouth pouted, and he turned irritated for no reason. He wasn't used to her being so quiet. She was cuter when she argued with him.He didn't like the feeling that things were out of his control and he felt the need to talk to her abo
Once changed, Fabiloa was taken to the Martini Manor by him.Soon, a butler came over. "Young master, Sir Luca would like you to go to his conference room."With a nod Lorenzo let the butler take Fabiola to his grandfather's study.“Grandpa.”She called,excitedly when she saw him going through some books.“Fabiola.”He looked so thrilled to see her.”I hope I didn’t disrupt anything you were doing by asking for your presence?”“Of course not.I was busy doing nothing.”She joked.Diego laughed.“By the way,I prepared some books that I think will be good for you.”Fabiola frowned as they both went over some inspiration books.“I told you I didn’t like these kind of books.”She grumbled.He laughed.”Fabiola,I found out that you’re only slightly above twenty.You’re still very young and if there’s anything you want to do,or achieve as a career…I do not want having the title as Enzo’s wife to stop you.”She smiled broadly at him touched by his words.“So I think these books might be good for you
Lorenzo had just stepped out of the study when he saw Esme waiting for him, and his expression was grim as he remembered her previous behaviour."Brother," Esme called out to him, frightened. She tried to explain what had happened last time, but Lorenzo ignored her."Brother, don't you want to know where Fabiola has gone?" Hearing Fabiola's name, Lorenzo stopped in his tracks."Fabiola asked me to tell you that she has gone home first on a temporary matter." Esme knew Lorenzo wouldn't believe her, but he couldn't confirm it because Fabiola's phone was definitely out of reach.He would only ask Diego to confirm, but it was evening and Diego wouldn't be back without an hour to go for a walk."Maybe you're wondering why Fabiola would ask me to deliver a message, but you know, grandpa went for a walk, so..."Esme looked at his cold expression with great internal pain, but she thought that as soon as Fabiola was dead she would surely get Lorenzo’s heart.So she left in triumph.Lorenzo wai
Lorenzo got the family’s doctor to come by the house asap.He watched nervously as the doctor got her treated…He had never been more scared his whole life as he was in this moment…He could only imagine how long she had been there…waiting and hoping for someone to open the fucking door…He felt like strangling Esme right now!After a while of examining and treating her with different medications and equipments…The doctor finally placed her on a drip…He had lost count of how many drips she had been put on tonight.“Is she going to be okay?”He asked.“Yes and It’s a good thing she was found when she was still breathing…the medications I’ve given her would stabilize her temperature after some time.I suggest you have someone with her throughout the night…I’ll spend the night at my regional hospital down the street…give me a call when she wakes up or anything comes up.”Lorenzo nodded.”Thank you,doc.”He saw the doctor out and sat on the edge of the bed.Intense guilt consumed Lorenzo w
