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
She cried until all she could do was hip cup.Lorenzo kept stroking her hair,holding her against her body.Eventually,she became calm and she leaned more against his bare chest…It felt so good being in his arms.His arms?His bare chest!She shrieked and quickly moved away from him.“You…why are you naked?”She panicked.“I’m not naked.”He replied and pulled the duvet aside to show her his briefs.“Why are you only on that?”He ran a hand through his hair.“I…I was trying to keep you warm.”She swallowed and vaguely recalled being restless in his arms,trying to feel warmth of any kind.Her cheeks felt flushed and she grew shy.“Thank you.”She murmured.“It’s nothing.I’ll call the doctor now.”He reached out for his cellphone.“Put on some clothes.”She muttered trying not to look at his bare chest.She couldn’t believe she was feeling tempted by him in her condition.Clothes?She looked down at herself and realized that she was on a thick hoodie and thick joggers.This wasn’t what she h
“I think now that she’s out of danger.He wouldn’t be so angry at you.You just have to go up to his bedroom…look super remorseful…cry if you have to and apologize to Fabiola.”Esme shrieked.”You want me to apologize to her?”How could she apologize to that lowlife?If she hadn’t bewitched Lorenzo and his Grandfather…who would have known a person like Fabiola existed?“You’re in no position to complain right now.You brought this upon yourself.Go apologize to her and try to convince Enzo that you didn’t do it on purpose.”Esme’s teeth clenched.”Fine!”Alicia stood up from the chair.“I’ll go with you.You have to get Enzo to forgive you before Grandpa comes home.If he gets to know about this…..”The older woman shook her head trying not to panic.”I might not be able to help you.”She grabbed her daughter’s arm and they headed up the stairs.“Esmeralda.”Someone called,harshly.Mother and daughter froze on the spot recognizing that voice.They slowly turned around to see Diego in front of th
She stared up at him nervously and murmured.“I’m…I’m still sick…you know.”She tried as much as she could to look pitiful.His mouth came down on hers,hard and hungry.The initial contact proved so potent that they both had to pause for a shuddering breath.He let go of her wrists and she didn’t fight him…Her body started to heat up….Even if she wholeheartedly didn’t want to do this with him,her body was responding in all the right ways…Her eyes were closed as she kissed him back…blending their tongues together.Recalling that she was still recovering,he disengaged from her.Fabiola blinked rapidly…How could she kiss him like that and still convince him that she didn’t want him?“Get some rest,Fabby.But you should have it in mind that next time,we won’t be stopping.”Still baffled and speechless from the kiss they had shared,she quietly turned over to her side and shut her eyes trying to fall asleep and forget how good kissing him felt.Lorenzo stared at her sleeping frame and the
