“Vince.” Lysa looked surprised at seeing his fiance. Lorenzo’s eyes widened. Clearly, they didn’t expect he’d be there. She immediately left Lorenzo’s side and rushed to him, giving him a firm kiss on the lips. Vincentio’s mouth thinned.
“You told me you’d be busy.”
“I am busy.” His eyes flickered coldly to his brother. “But I see my brother is keeping you company. He’s always been a family man.”
I stared back and forth at the drama unfolding before me. The tension in the air was palpable. I knew I shouldn’t be there but I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. Lysa’s parents were oblivious to this as they smiled when Vincentio put a hand on Lysa’s waist. What they didn’t notice was the warning grip he had on it as his veins popped.
“Why don’t you join us, Vince? It’s your wedding too, you know. I’m sure your assistan

—and toppled to the bed with him. He pulled me to his chest. He definitely works out. I shook my head, trying to get out of his embrace and his intoxicating smell. “Vince-” “Shhh, just for tonight.” He rested his chin on my head as he got comfortable while my heart pounded against my ribcage. “We’re okay. We’re going to be okay,” he murmured. Oh my freaking God. I attempted to move his arm again but he let out a weak groan and tightened his hold around my waist even more. His rock-hard pecs weren’t doing anything to calm the images in my mind. It was a struggle shutting them out especially being this close to his face. When
“Man, this sure brought back some memories.” Fabian chuckled as he sauntered to the pitiful figure. “Vince.” He nudged him with his foot. “Dude, are you still alive?”I couldn’t stand to watch Vincentio’s body on the floor while Fabian just nudged him around so I moved towards them. I threw my bag on the couch and removed my blazer, rolling up my sleeves as I prepare to lift my boss.“Let’s get him into bed.”Fabian hauled him to his feet and almost toppled over from the effort. They were almost the same height but Vincentio clearly had a bigger build compared to his friend’s slim figure. I put his other arm around my shoulders and helped him move to his room. I was just glad his room wasn’t upstairs as his unconscious body was too heavy f
“Vincentio’s missing?” “Shh!” Fabian glanced around the lobby and pulled me along down the stairs leading to the parking lot. “What do you mean he’s missing?” “Gone. Lost. Presence unknown. Cannot be reached.” A chime echoed around the hollow lot as he pushed the button on his car key, unlocking it. He opened the passenger door of his sleek sports car before I could and I meekly got inside, still processing his words. Was he kidnapped? Fabian seemed awfully calm to consider the possibility. Maybe this has happened before? I have a hunch that this is related to Lysa and Lorenzo's affair. A small twinge of guilt suddenly went through me. When Fabian pulled out of the parking s
Vincentio had been avoiding me after our conversation in the cafe which was very inconvenient for me as my work revolved around him. I’ve been demoted to my desk all day, receiving people for him like a doormat. When I told him the news, I didn’t expect to get a silent treatment. I expected he’d get angry but that it wouldn't affect him that much as he seemed to detest Lysa during the charity gala. I had a feeling then that their engagement was just out of a business deal. It’s common in wealthy families, right? But he wouldn’t have reacted the way he did if that were the case. And yet, he was aware of it before I even told him. Is it also normal for marriages like that? To have their significant other cheat on them? Can it even be considered cheating when there’s no love in the first place? Vincentio didn’t seem like a man who would let himself get cheated o
It felt nice having someone to confide in other than my sister and Andrew. I clicked with Oz faster than I mostly do with people. He could be flirty at times but I chalked it up to be part of who he was. Plus, he's hot so it helped boost my self-esteem. I never knew having an attractive heterosexual male friend could be this beneficial. Days passed by fast and before I knew it, it's already Monday and I was at the office. I came bearing coffee and a bagel for Vincentio only to find out he wasn't there. I debated texting where the hell he was but I just ended up eating the bagel and washing it down with his no-sugar black coffee as I waited patiently for him. It tasted like sh*t. The door suddenly opened. "Is it true?" A furious voice bellowed and I quickly threw the cup of coffee in the bin. The man's brown eyes landed on me when he realized Vincentio wasn't in the room. I gulped. His angry expres
