Kara left Nico outside the cafe perplexed.She was so mad. She wanted to wring his neck. So she left in a huff. Nico insulted her. His sharp tongue remains untamable. “I love her.” He said, referring to Rebecca Anderson, and “I want your body.” referring to her. His words kept repeating in her head. Kara closed her eyes, letting the hurtful words wash over her. Nico Bernardi only wanted her body. He did not love her. He loves someone else. Kara was all too aware of that. But hearing him say it hurts a lot. He was vocal about it even at the start but her s*upid heart hoped there was something more in their relationship, especially when he introduced her to everyone as his girl. He did things that made her feel special. He bought her for one hundred million dollars at the auction. It must have started as a whim, but he respected her. In the few months she knew him, Kara experienced his kindness. His concern. His words and actions told her he cared. He might have a
Nico eyed Rebecca suspiciously while she clutched his phone to her chest.“Is that my phone?” He asked, eyes narrowing in skepticism and doubt. He had been looking for it everywhere. He did not think Rebecca would have it, but he tried just in case.And look what he had found!Rebecca has his missing phone.Nico did not like the idea that quickly came to mind. Rebecca looked like she was snooping on his phone.Nico is a man who loves to maintain his privacy, and one of the things he hates is nosy people. He did not like it when a woman spied on his calls or checked his messages like he was hiding a secret from them.Rebecca looked suspiciously like it. But when caught, she acted like she did nothing wrong and gave his phone back to him.He eyed the phone.“Did someone call me?” He asked. He opened it to check for any new messages and calls.&
Date Night.“Do you think this dress is suitable?” Kara stood in front of the mirror wearing her ever-reliable black knee-length dress.“Nope.” Marmie shook her head.“You look too boring.”Kara blew, fanning her forehead and the soft tendrils that clung to it.Marmie insisted that she styled her hair to make it appear romantic. Kara had some doubts. She kept reminding Marmie that it was a friendly date, not a romantic one.She did not want Josh to have the wrong idea.
Megan was so shocked. She thought she had very carefully impersonated Rebecca.She thought she was so clever that she was able to make everyone believe the lie she concocted, but now it has caught up with her.Tears streamed down her face while Nico squeezed hard on her neck.“How did you know?” She breathed.Nico released her abruptly.Megan coughed and sputtered while she massaged her injured neck. It stings!“This!” He said.Nico pulled something from his breast pocket. It was a DNA test.Bruno took a sample of Rebecca’s nails and hair to have it examined in Sicily, and this is what they found out.The person right before him was not Rebecca Anderson but Megan Rand, who was supposed to be dead.Nico was even a suspect in her death. Thankfully, he was released for lack of evidence.The veins on the side of his neck t
Nico Bernardi’s body shook in anger.After he learned that Kara was on a date, he could not explain what he was feeling. He was exploding in anger, causing mayhem to his people.He did not like that she was dating another man.She told him she loved him. But what is she doing?Kara saw the familiar terrain around them and knew exactly where Nico intended to take her.“Stop the car!” She shouted.Nico turned his head sideways, but he did not stop the car like she asked him to. Instead of slowing down, the Rolls Royce accelerated, mak
“What did you do that for?” Evan tore his mouth away. He was glaring at Marmie, who looked like a satisfied cat, preening in the corner of the passenger seat. “Don't be such a hypocrite. You like it. You know you do.” She argued. “I don’t.” Evan denied. Marmie’s nostrils flared. She hated that he was making it appear that she was the only one who enjoyed the kiss. “Then, why didn’t you push me? Why did you respond? I felt your tongue glide into my lips and delved inside, exploring.” She pointed out. Anyone would have been scandalized by Marmie’s claims, but not Evan. He scoffed. “I am a gentleman.”Now, it was Marmie’s turn to scoff. “Gentleman my a*s. If you were a gentleman, you shouldn’t snob me every time we meet and make me feel s*it! You know I like you. But you treat me like crap.” “Because that is the best way to treat pesky women like you. You wouldn’t stop with a no.”Marmie nodded. She was breathing hard. But she was tired of arguing with him. She alrea
Kara groggily opened her eyes, disoriented at first. But when she saw the white ceilings and walls and her nostrils were filled with the familiar antiseptic smell of the hospital, she relaxed. A doctor came in. He was the same doctor who treated her at the emergency room earlier. He smiled at her. “Hello, Ms. Baxter. How are you feeling?” Kara flexed her hands and her legs, trying their weight. “Okay, I guess.” “Good.” the doctor smiled. “Do you remember what happened earlier/?” The doctor prodded. Kara tried to remember her last memory. She was at the emergency room with Nico Bernardi, and she had given specific instructions for the doctors not to allow Nico to come near her. “What happened to the man who accompanied me?” The doctor smiled. “We heard your plea. You do not want to be near him, and so we kept you hidden from him.”It was Kara’s turn to frown. She does not understand why she has a bad feeling about the man before her. Call it intuitive thinking. “Where
At the last minute, Kara suddenly changed her mind and canceled the call. She stared at the telephone before putting the handset back in its cradle. Nico is already happy. She should not confuse him any more. He loved Rebecca for years. She knew that she could not compete with Rebecca. What makes her think that Nico would choose her now? Even if her pregnancy would push through, it does not guarantee that he would change his mind about her. It would be pointless to bother Nico with something that won’t happen in the future. The baby will be gone.Kara sighed. The doctor came in and saw her looking out into space. “Are you alright?”Kara fixed the expression on her face, smiling wanly at the director, and said, “Can I go home now?” Aside from the hospital fees for this confinement, she had to think about her upcoming surgery. She needed to save money. “Do you have anyone to call to take care of your discharge papers?” Dr. James asked. He looked so kind and concerned, Ka
