*************Amor paced around her room as she brainstormed with scarlet."She's the stalker, Amor. She threw my parcel into the wastebasket and had this look on her face like she was a murderer"" You're so ridiculous, Enrique probably told her to get rid of all those gifts. You think he'll turn his office into a collection office. Get real scarlet". She got out dismissively." I am being real. Am sure Enrique didn't give her any order to throw any gift away"" You think so?. Maybe I'll just pop over and ask Enrique if he didn't give such an order then" she retorted her voice dripping in sarcasm."What's with the attitude, I am trying to help you here in case you forgot. I just want you to be safe and happy with the man you love ok" she yelled frustrated. She threw her hands up in the air " I'm so done with this" she flopped onto the couch. Amor sat beside her, looking apologetic."Am sorry, I'm just pissed for no reason. Fine, we'll investigate Jasmin Caleb."She murmured looking s
ENRIQUE POVI woke up all clammy with sweat, my heart jumping in my chest. My head hurts like a huge brick was laid on it. I ran my hands through my hair frustrated.I hadn't dreamt of Ivory for such a long while that I had started to relax.She was here to plague me again. I clearly remember her face when she took her last breath. The silent accusation never left her eyes even as she died in my arms.I stand up, pacing around, messing up my hair with the pressure I applied to it.I will not allow myself to hurt April, I tell myself but I can't be sure of that, because I've become so obsessed with her, that I don't think I'd ever be able to let her go I need to see Kane.I check on April and she's sound asleep. She must be exhausted. My heart tightens in my chest. What she made me feel was almost frightening. She made the possessive part of me that I've shut down for so long want to surface. It was getting harder to fight it off.I needed her too much. I wanted her for only my ey
APRIL POVI walk into Enriques's mansion. I miss my cozy house. I don't even know what am doing back here. Screw him and his stupid threat.I groan aloud in frustration. He had been gone all day and he wasn't back."So much for keeping me safe". I mutter sullenly.He did seem a bit off in the morning before he left. He looked like he was sad. Was I giving him a hard time or did I do something?"Ugh, why do I even care."My phone rings and it's so unexpected I jerked in surprise. Gosh, who was trying to give me a heart attack. It was Katherine. I shake my head, taking a deep breath before answering.Her voice shrills in my ear and I flinch pulling the phone back then placing it on my ear and catching her next few words.".... standing outside your house all day and all for what? Nothing!!!"She was pissed."Am sorry Katherine. I forgot to call you, but you should stop screaming into the phone "I see her rolling her eyes in my head."I screamed into the phone for a purpose ok and that
*******Jasmin stood in her room pacing around. She had been worrying all day and up till this moment, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Why would Enrique look so gloomy? She couldn't help fretting and wondering where that April was. There was a sick feeling in her chest that she was with Enrique. At his mansion. No. That can never happen. He should be here with me, not her. Why can't that bitch just die.Her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. It was Enrique. Why is he calling me, and did he have my personal phone number on his phone all this time,even if he did, this was out of character. He never called after closing hour. She took a deep breath, answering the call. "Jasmin" His voice jarred her to reality, her heart dropping into the pit of her stomach, making her almost nauseated."Sir Enrique, am surprised to receive your call" she muttered, out of breath."Am sorry for the trouble Jasmin. I won't be at work tomorrow so I want you to reschedule my activities for tomor
Amor muttered curses as she parked her stuff into her bag. She looked up, hearing the approaching footsteps of scarlet. She came in, looking at the disarray the room was in. "Where the hell are you going?"Amor rolled her eyes and gave an exhausted breath."I guess you're not busy with your whoring around anymore and finally have time for me" she muttered bitterly, which only earned her a chuckle from Scarlet.She flopped onto the bed, resting on her elbow. "Well you're in a terrible mode"Amor threw the dress she held in frustration. "You think?!. You were supposed to be helping me with the whole stalker issue, but no, you just had to go sleep with my brother, leaving me to explain everything to father..""....stop being dramatic Amor. You win some, you lose some. Move on"" I can't believe you" she muttered shaking her head.Scarlet pursed her lips."You didn't answer my question from earlier"."Dad's sending me on a damned vacation. Satisfied" she glared zipping up her bag.Scarle
She could hear the frantic run of Enrique.The lady was muttering in a scared voice, apologizing on repeat that she didn't know she was there, that it was an accident.Enrique pulled her towards the sink, shouting at the girl to get some wipes and call for the doctor. He washed her face with water, wiping the water off her reddening face. The doctor arrived in just some minutes, then it was a long twenty minutes of the doctor and Enrique fussing over her.It would have been amusing if it was not for the fact that her face felt like it was on fire.The girl was Jasmin, Enrique's assistant. She stood beside them looking like she'd committed murder. The worry on her face was pronounced, almost aging her a decade.The doctor finally left after taking care of her, assuring Enrique that she was out of harm's way and that there will be no permanent scarring. He gave Enrique a salve to apply on her face to help soothe her itch. Enrique turned his attention towards Jasmin, once the doctor took
APRIL'S POVHe gave me an ultimatum which I was going to take. I wanted him too much and it was getting hard to focus on anything else. What was the point of going to work if I couldn't even concentrate?It didn't help that he walked around shirtless with those dark gazes he kept pinned on me, making me aware of every little move he makes, every twinkle in his eyes, every ripple of those lean muscles. I wanted his hand on me. I wanted those hard warm muscles pressed up against me. I yearned for him and I would have him. I'm pretty sure it's going to be amazing.I don't recall when I started freaking out on having sex with Enrique, but I'm almost sure it was when kat called. She cheered me on initially, but then everything took a nosedive when she said I was inexperienced and Enrique has had lots of women, so I'd never be able to satisfy him.I don't understand why she would say that to me when I finally dared to sleep with him. Of all the days she was supposed to be a badass vixen, sh
____Flashback___"I said I was sorry. I thought this was going to help you. I forgot about your issues with drinks. I was just trying to make this night perfect for you". She yelled in her defense"Yeah of course it is!. You always think you know what's best for me. You can leave now Kat because the fact is that you don't" I mutter, my words a slur. she sighed huffing. "I was just trying to help you out. How about I stay, so you don't do anything..." I stopped her with a hard glare, pointing at the door. The alcohol was making me act rashly, but I couldn't stop myself. I'm aware of when she gives up trying to apologize. She took the box of cake and walked out of my room, resentment marring her pretty features. I feel like shit.After a while of me just sitting there, the lingerie caught my stare. I took it out, examining it in the light. The texture felt captivating as I glide my fingers over every curve of it. How would he react if he saw me in this? Would he go crazy, lose all cont
