LOGIN"Too many thoughts at the same time." --Diego spent the rest of the daylight in his study going through some important things he had set aside. Or at least that was what he wanted to do. But his mind kept drifting back and forth between work and that little troublemaker. Why was she even on his mind at all? Unfortunately, he didn't have an answer to that. So he got up and went to do some exercise to get his mind off things for a while. He changed into some casual t-shirt and pants and went to his personal gym. Another matter was also bugging him. His brother. His most trusted ally. At least that was what he was supposed to be. Why would he lie to him? Was he perhaps afraid that Diego would perceive him as incompetent for losing a sick patient?But why did he stop treatment in the first place? Was he really trying to kill Marco? The man who was more than ready to lay down his life for the both of them any day? Even in his sleep! He was so confused. Running on the treadmill didn
"The Gonzalez secrets and politics can drive the most sane person insane."--Rebecca waited patiently for a response as she watched the emotions unfold on Chase's face. At first, he looked surprised, then it melted into a calmness she didn't really understand. Then his lips curved into a smile and he held onto her hand tighter. "What kind of person would I be if I was angry? I know how you feel. You must feel so suffocated, especially with Diego around always trying to tell you what to do. "I can't promise you your freedom, but I will try talking to him to let you go and maybe find another way to pay your father's debt. He doesn't actually need you for anything, you're just a souvenir to him. Once he doesn't need."Her eyes widened in shock. "Did you just say you're going to talk to him to let me go?!" She couldn't hide the surprise on her face as she asked. He nodded his head with a gentle smile on his face. "I will. Of course, nothing is promised, but I won't stop until I get y
"The lies from his lips hurt more than the wounds on my skin."--Diego focused on his plate like it was the only thing left in the world. He didn't even get the taste of what he was eating, he just kept on chewing and swallowing without thinking too much about it. Chase let out a soft sigh and picked up his glass of water. After a sip, he dropped it back down and rose to his feet. "Well," he said as he rose from his seat. "Someone has got to cheer her up and I don't think you're in the best place to do that. Let me handle it." "I care less about her when we have something so important coming up tonight." Diego responded nonchalantly. His forehead creased as he dropped his fork and interlocked his fingers. "Tonight is our only chance. It'll be our only chance for a long time as well. We can't mess up.""I don't even know the plan for tonight. How will I not mess it up on my side?" Chase's brow arched. He was obviously displeased that he was being left out and he didn't hide it in h
"I'll get out of here tonight and there's no going back."--Rebecca went back into her bedroom, wishing she would be stopped by Diego. But she didn't even notice him spare her a second glance as she went into her room. She felt tears well up in her eyes as she fell into her bed. What exactly is going on in her life? It had been so long since she last asked herself that question. It seemed she had gotten so comfortable in the enemy's embrace. How dare she even allow herself to have sex with the man that killed her father? Twice!'What exactly is wrong with you, Rebecca?!' She heard her subconsciousness yell at her. Unfortunately, she couldn't provide an answer to that question. She had asked herself that question so many times that she started avoiding it because she didn't have an answer to it. Tears flowed freely down her face for the first time in a long while. "Dad..." She muttered as she curled up into a ball on the bed. "Why did you get yourself into all this mess?" She ask
“Is this what it feels like to be guilty?”–Diego and Vincenzo walked as far away from the dining room as they could and only stopped when they were sure they were out of earshot.“What's the update?” Diego asked with an arched brow.“I've prepared everything you need for tonight and I also added some extra guns and knives. Just in case,” Vincenzo responded.Diego nodded his head. “And Marco?” His brow arched yet again as he asked.“Getting better, sir, which only makes it very suspicious that your brother said there was no hope for him. Why do you think he didn't bother treating him at all?” Vincenzo questioned.“No idea, but we'll find out eventually, won't we? He ought to notice Marco was no longer in the room. He kept him soon enough. He'll ask me, and then I'll bring it up. Until then, let's focus on what's on hand now.“The girl, is she cooperating with you? Are you having any issues putting her on the right path?” He inquired.A soft sigh escaped Vincenzo's lips at the mention
“A treatment befitting of an empress, a heart as heavy as a mountain.” –The moment Vincenzo stepped back from her, she felt like she could finally breathe again. How could the presence of a man be so suffocating? Making her want to shit her pants!She swallowed, trying to control herself. “So I'm just supposed to go there and plant a secret recorder while wearing a camera on me? Won't they catch on? From what you say, they are really smart people.” He nodded his head. “Indeed they are, but you have to be smarter. They don't pay attention to every face that walks into that room and also, they will all be putting on masks to conceal their identity. No one is supposed to know who is who at such a shady gathering. You should get the gist of the entire thing. “We're trusting you to do this for us and the Don is so confident that you won't let us down. I want to believe that, after all, I recommended you.” When she heard those words, her jaws dropped to the ground. “What? Why? You don'
“This desire will be the death of me!”_Rebecca wondered if that was how her life was meant to end. Being killed for something she didn't even dream about doing. His hold around her neck tightened and she could feel the air seizing from her lungs. She couldn't even speak now if she wanted to. Sh
A shared sexual experience for just one to remember._Rebecca wanted to hit his hand away, she wanted to give him the lecture of his life for touching her like that! But deep down, she wished he would go further down. He caressed her waist and her hips but stopped short of her ass, like he wanted
"I don't plan to survive, I plan to live..."_Rebecca felt so warm inside for the first time since she was brought to the Gonzalez penthouse. To know that there was someone within those walls that sincerely cared about her gave her courage. She rose to her feet and stared at the door for a silent
The man who murdered fathers, even his own. _Diego's eyes squinted confusedly, why was she suddenly acting so emotional? “Will you just hear me out?” He said, trying to explain himself. “Why does everything always have to revolve around you?!” She barked, taking him by surprise. “Can't you just
