As she opened the door, she stumbled backwards as she met Helen sitting on her bed. "What are you doing inside here?" "Waiting for you, what else would I be doing in your room?" Helen responded nonchalantly. She tapped on the bed next to her for Rebecca to come and sit down next to her. Rebecca stood by the door and crossed her arms below her breast. "What's going on?" Helen arched her brow at Rebecca's defiance and chuckled softly. She leaned back on her hands, looking leisurely around the room like she was purposely wasting Rebecca's time. Rebecca scoffed and gave a roll of her eyes but didn't say another. Helen finally spoke up. "The board of directors had a virtual meeting today about you and they are not satisfied with what's going on." "Well neither am I but I am working on ferventl
“How dare that manipulative bastard?!”–Rebecca rose to her feet before she even realized it. "What do you mean by all our suppliers have pulled out?" "Exactly what you heard!" Helen spat out angrily. "What did I tell you? Every single one of them doesn't have faith in us anymore because your father's name has failed us. "You had better marry Leon Visconti as fast as possible or else everything your father worked hard for will disappear like it was never there and you'll be nothing but a useless failure who's a single mother!" Before Rebecca could say another word, Helen hung up the call. A scoff left Rebecca's mouth as she rubbed her weary forehead. "Oh my goodness! What am I supposed to do now? All our suppliers have pulled out for no reason." "What's going on?" Diego questioned, his thick brows furrowed deeply as he rose to his feet. "Are you having a work crisis?" "Yes." She admitted with a sigh. "I reopened my father's business where he made cosmetic products. I'm also wor
“I know he did it for me, I understand, but I don't want it. Not now, not in a million years.”–Rebecca felt like her heart was going to explode from the rush of emotions inside her. She was feeling everything at once, anger, happiness, anxiety, fear, everything. She helped Timothee sit down next to her and she kept wondering if Vincenzo actually kept their little secret hidden. Especially because of how Diego kept staring at her son. Their son..."Diego..." She called his name softly. Diego's eyes fell close for a moment like he was trying to get a hold of his emotions. When he opened his eyes, he smiled. "Cattivella, it's been... A minute." Rebecca almost teared up hearing that name. The name only he called her. She choked on her saliva as she forced herself to breathe. "Uhm--" she cleared her throat dryly. "Yeah, it has been a minute and more. How-- how are you?" Diego smirked. "I'd give you a response if only I knew the answer. I'm also wondering how I'm doing." She bit do
“Who would have known that a heart as cold as stone was capable of getting warm again…”–Diego stared at the man seated opposite him, a smile playing on his face. He watched in silence as Vincenzo and the man kept bickering back and forth.“Listen, consigliere,” the man said as he relaxed into his seat. “When we met before, didn’t I tell you that I’d need at least a month to prepare your money? You went ahead and dragged your Don along today thinking it would scare me.“I’m not new to this business, you can’t keep being like this to people. Where am I supposed to get such an amount of money, huh? And I told you that I won’t be paying back the interest on top, it’s just too much.”Diego let out a soft laugh. Vincenzo made to speak but Diego raised a hand and stopped him.Sitting upright, Diego stared the man in the eyes, almost as if his colour-changing eyes dilated like a predator ready to pounce on its victim.“I remember the day you came crawling, holding on to my shoes and begging
“For my dad, I’ll do anything to keep his dream going. For my son, I’ll do anything to keep him smiling.”–Rebecca sat opposite Helen, her father’s sister, keeping a calm expression on her face. The woman had been nothing but a pain in her ass ever since she returned home.“What do we have to talk about? I’m exhausted,” Rebecca said.“Of course you are,” Helen responded. “I’ll make it quick. It’s high time you got married.”Rebecca sighed and rolled her eyes. This conversation had been going on for over a year now and she didn’t see the need to get married.“Must we really discuss this now? I just got back from work,” Rebecca said disapprovingly.“Of course we must! You won’t listen to me whatever time I choose to discuss it anyway, so why not now? I’ll wake you up in the middle of the night if I have to,” Helen stated firmly.There was a fire in the woman’s burning blue eyes that Rebecca was just not ready to deal with.Maybe the talks of marriage wouldn’t even piss her off as much
"Three minutes, three hours, three days, three weeks, three months, three years, I still miss you the same..."--Waking up in the comfort of her bed, Rebecca let out a soft sigh as she brought herself to a sitting position. The sky outside had darkened, hinting at night time, and she let out a sigh. Vincenzo had probably gone without her. She stared at the IV drip hooked to her hand and looked around, trying to find her phone. That was when the door to the room opened and a young man walked into the room. Right behind him were Bella and Vincenzo. "Oh good! You're awake." The man said with a relaxed smile. He introduced himself as the doctor of the estate. Rebecca greeted him with a warm smile. "What happened to me?" She asked. There was something about the way Vincenzo looked at her, something that flickered in the eyes of Bella, something that made her feel nervous. The doctor was the one to break the news. "So many things actually. You were malnourished and dehydrated which
The strongest Man with the greatest weakness. _Diego heard a soft knock on his door and he already knew who it was. Rebecca approached his desk and placed a cup of coffee in front of him.He looked up at her face and noticed something new. Her lips were a deeper shade of red than normal. His brow
“Say my name. Say it once, say it twice.” _Rebecca almost slapped herself right there. How could she think about sex? Sex with a man like… him??? She could feel her cheeks heating up from the irresponsible thoughts that swarmed her head. How come she let herself waver so much? “What are you thi
It shouldn't hurt but it still does_Diego woke up with a soft groan. Opening his eyes, he felt even more tired than he did when he went to bed. How did he get to his room anyway? The last thing he remembered was going to the balcony for a smoke. Rubbing his forehead slightly, he tried to rememb
Answers? More like dead end riddles._A lot of questions stormed through Rebecca's mind at once. She tried to pick the best three out of the millions that plagued her mind. Why was she being held captive? What kind of business did her dad do with them? Who were they hiding from? What happened to
