ENRIQUE POV
I walked up to the rooftop and it was worth it. The view was breathtaking-you could practically see the whole city in an array of colors. There was a huge swimming pool at the edge of the rooftop. Everything about the hotel screamed luxury.I had to get a breath of fresh air and come back to my equilibrium. It was like the lady April was everywhere. She made her presence known with just a simple word, touch, or gesture, heck, Adam king seemed to be in her trance all night long and so was I. I was so hard in my pants, I felt uncomfortable. What was it about this woman anyway?.I hear footsteps climb up the stair that leads to the rooftop. I hide in the shadows because I needed this little time for myself to think. The contract wasn't going to be mine and there was only one person to blame for that.It was her again. She walks towards the edge of the roof smiling happily, looking breathtaking with all the lights reflecting around her. She did a little twirl and I didn't know if I should be mad or treasure the moment. She loosens her hair from the band holding it and it fell around her in waves, then she took off her high heels.I approached her without her being aware of me until I was very near her. She turns around sharply as she finally sense my presence and her smile faded. She looks stunned, anxious, and a little frightened."What are you doing here?"She asked looking around and noticing it was only us here."Such an odd question. What are you doing here" I probed moving closer to her. She quickly moved around me. She was fast."Nothing. I just wanted fresh air" she said in a defensive tone, with more courage.I wonder why she's scared of me. It was a new reaction from a woman. Very odd but I find it refreshing. I wonder if I should ease her fear, maybe not. I wanted to play with her."Well, I'm sure you'll need fresh air considering you've been couped up with Mr. Adams for hours. You're one of those women who use their bodies to get deals right? I must say I am not surprised" I say condescendingly just to spite her. I don't know why I didn't just hate her.The anger that hazed her eyes was priceless and I knew she was going to hit me again. She did exactly that but I caught her hand midair. She's surprised at my reflex but she shouldn't be, she was like an open book when she got angry."Let go of me right now you bastard," she yells struggling to remove her hand from mine. I quite like the contrast of our skin and the feeling that went up to my arms as I held her was fascinating. I still go on the offensive as I deny all the feelings she evokes in me." Why should I? So you can hit me because the truth hurts" I gritted out angrily and then let go of her." You think you have me all figured out. Well, you haven't. I don't have to sleep with anyone to get a deal, just a smile from me is enough Mr. Alvaro. Don't be such a sore loser. Mr. Adams is a friend of my father and I don't have to explain anything to you." She rushed out then took a deep breath, probably thinking of what to say to hurt me. She was composed now "it's not my fault you have no connection and goodwill at your company. I got what I deserve and you didn't earn it"" Really?. Mr. Adams hasn't officially partnered with you yet. What makes you think before this party end I won't get what I want". I smirk as I see her let my heavy words sink. She knew I could do what I said." I would love to see you try" she challenges looking all relaxed.I suddenly moved closer and she was caught off-guard she didn't move back fast enough. I had her cornered and I enjoy every minute of it. I could see her pulse leaping. She was attracted to me, she just had a way of concealing her true feeling.She licked her lips nervously and my eyes strayed there. I couldn't stop myself as I leaned towards her but then she shoved me back."Are you out of your mind?. I am not one of your call girls who you think you can do anything you want with. Stay away from me" she yells and walked back down the stairs like she couldn't wait to get away from me.I was stunned and hard. Fuck!. That woman was toying with me. I can't believe she has me acting like a bloody teenager that just got his first crush all over again. I couldn't get her out of my head and I was going to have her. She could fight all she wants but she will end up being mine. Even if she denies what she feels, I'll unravel her until there is nothing left to hide. If there was a voice in the back of my head that told me I was getting possessive over someone I just met and that it could lead to a tragedy like in the past, I ignored it adamantly.I walk back down the stairs taking fast strides and entered the elevator. I pressed for my floor, and patiently wait for it to descend. It felt like the longest hours of my life. It finally stops. I got out and saw her walking hurriedly down the hallway that led to the different suites, she stops at the suite opposite mine. She turns around and sees me as I walk towards her. She pressed in her code and entered her room soon as the door opened.I smiled. This was getting interesting. I entered my room and knew that I was going to have to take a very cold shower.APRIL POVI entered my room trying desperately to still my beating heart. My temperature was high right now and it was all that man's fault. How dare he try to kiss me after telling me to my face that I was a slut who slept around to get deals. He wasn't that specific but I knew what he was getting at. I was not stupid to read in-between the lines.The nerve of him. Was he trying to prove that I am a slut if I allowed him to kiss me? Who the hell did he think he was anyway.Yes, he was hundred percent good-looking but he had a maddening attitude. So fucking rude!.Although the reason why am so upset is that I was seriously considering giving in to my body demand when he had tried to kiss me. Damn, I have been dreaming of kissing him since the airport. It was so wrong. I shouldn't even be thinking of him at all. He was disrespectful, rude, and condescending. Argh."This is not you April. You're not one to let attraction cloud your better judgment. You will forget about this guy who is trying to steal your deal from you and move on" I pepped talk myself. This was so frustrating.If there was going to be any kiss, it would be instigated by me. Not him. Never him. I would not give him that benefit.If I want a kiss then I'll bloody do it myself and I'll walk away after the kiss like it means nothing. I would not give him the satisfaction of letting him know how he affects me. I felt like this attraction would pass soon and all these feelings would be forgotten. I just had to bury myself in work or perhaps find a substitute.My phone rang and I check to see it was Katherine. She just never stops calling. She would have a field day if she found out I was sexually attracted to a guy. I would never hear the end of it so I decide not to pick up the call. I walk to my bedroom and made a beeline to the bathroom. I need a warm shower and then I'll listen to motivational quotes, or watch a documentary. That would calm me down for sure. Let's get to work.BAR.Brian twirled his drink around, a lazy smirk on his face as he sat drinking with his friend Kyle."I saw her dude. She was smoking, all the curves in the right places". Kyle says grinning as he took up his drink."Yes, and she will be mine. I've got the good looks, lots of cash and my father is Adam kings, what else can a woman want? " He said cockily." You're right Brian. But then April Sanders is not your typical girl. She's a tough one and we've heard stories".he said tossing back his drink and grimacing."Well, those men she had been with are not Brian kings. I don't take no for an answer. I will work my charm on her and just see how she falls all over me" he replied feeling all smug. He waves at a girl that passed by the door of the bar and she blushes furiously before she walks away. He gives Kyle a knowing look and Kyle shook his head."So is it all sex or are you serious about her" he questioned since he knew Brian's sex life." I'm serious about her." He stated " I want to have her and when I don't feel like having her anymore, I want no one else to have her, that's how serious I am," he said darkly then downs his glass of vodka quickly." You're a crazy man" Kyle grinned, slapping at his shoulder." you'll get her for sure cause I don't want you murdering anyone over her" he jokes and Brian looked at him over the rim of his glass laughing." Well, I don't think I have the guts to kill anyone so that's out of the equation. I don't think it would go to that extent anyway. I mean I like her and all but I won't kill anyone."" I hear you" he sing-song and Brian just shook his head at him.He was sure no woman could say no to the son of Adam King, but then April Sanders was a woman in her class.The days that followed were a flurry of different activities. They gave a press conference and went to court as the case progressed. Jasmin looked like a deranged person and kept casting evil glances at her throughout the trial. She didn't look like she was sorry at all for the crime she had committed. Well, she was going to end up in jail or an asylum so April didn't bother much.Kyle looked terrible, physically. He was wearing casts on his hands and legs. April remembered how hard he had hit her and decided that he deserved every hit Enrique dealt him. She wanted to add a few of her own if a chance presented itself. Brian couldn't look at her in court and Mr. Adams apologized profusely on his behalf. She couldn't blame their father tho. Sometimes no matter how much parents tried to raise their children right, they most certainly always chose the wrong path.He would be getting a light sentence compared to Jasmin and Kyle tho.April loved the judge on the case and the prosecutor. Th
April stood in his garden taking deep breaths and clenching a file tightly in her hand. There was a tight feeling in her chest but no matter what, she was going to get what she wanted. He soon appeared managing to take her breath away the moment his eyes connected with hers. Her heart gave a wild thump in her chest and then fear crept in sending chills down her back. What If he left her? Would she be able to love anyone else again? There was a guarded look in his eyes but there was also that dark look of desire that made her blood tingle in her veins and desire to pool low and deadly. She wanted to do wicked things to him, with him."April..." He called and his voice was enough to make the ache and the pleasure grow deeper. Was this what they meant by saying love was both pain and pleasure. She wondered which came first.She stopped him holding up her hand."Before you speak another word I will speak first Enrique Alvaro," she said with finality and he nodded slowly watching her so i
April got discharged and as soon as she stepped out of the hospital it was to see the little crowd gathered for her but as Enrique came into her line of vision, she found it hard to look past him, or even acknowledge that questions were being thrown at her from some of the people that stood by.Enrique Alvaro....the man she knew could bring her to her knee from the first day they met. He did get women going crazy over him.April swore to make sure she was the only woman to make him crazy. The other woman she'd found out about would not be the love of his life for long.Enrique held her eyes and she could see the emotion swirling in them, instead of flowers, he was holding a box of her favorite chocolate. She smiled as she walked toward him. Uncertainty flicked in his stormy eyes as she stopped right in front of him.She went on her toes as her arms automatically wrapped around his neck and then connected her lips with his.His hands tightened on her waist immediately and he deepened t
Jasmin stared down at April, taking in her bruised face as she ran her hand through April's hair."You fought hard, but it's time to finally rest April" she murmured and saw April's eyelashes flutter like she was about to wake up. Jasmin immediately pulled the pillow from underneath her head. Jasmine stared at her victim, the pillow she held hovering over April's face. Jasmin's heart pounded as sweat dripped down her temple, could she push through with it, if she woke up, Enrique would be lost to her forever. With resolution, Jasmin covered April's face with the pillow using all her might. April's hands went up feebly as she struggled to breathe. The heart machine beeped irrationally and Jasmin held on until she noticed that April's nails were not digging into her anymore."What are you doing" Katherine's voice boomed behind her startling her to her bone marrow. Jasmin whirled around with the pillow clutched tightly in her hands, eyes frantic as she forced her mouth to work.Katherine
Kyle got out of the car as soon he reached his destination. He felt like he had slipped off somewhere and everything was going to go to ruin. He quickly walked toward where April was and yanked the door open. A swift kick connected with his groin and he doubled over in pain. Surprise and shock marring his face.April flung the blanket from around her, she forced herself out of the car and shoved at Kyle. Then she was running, screaming, and shouting for help at the top of her lungs. Her head throbbed and she felt like collapsing but she couldn't give up. Hands suddenly came over her mouth muffling her screaming. She elbowed him in the rib and heard him gasp and mutter curse words but he didn't let go. He just shoved her forcefully, and she hit the floor hard, grazing her knees, and her Palms. Her elbows took most of the bruising because she used them to stop her fatal fall. He gave her a hard kick to the ribs and she felt something crack within her as she curled up in pain. Then he wa
"April?" Enrique asked faintly, his heart flipping. Jayden looked as worried."No, it was not Miss April. They exhumed a dead body who had the same features as her". He explained.Enrique took a deep breath as he ran his hand through his hair muttering words to himself. His heart felt like It was chasing itself and sweat dripped down his face.Jayden placed his hand on his shoulder."Don't worry. April would be found. She's a tough woman who can handle herself".He chuckled, "she definitely can do that." But that didn't make the uneasiness in his chest go away. He could not bear to lose April, the woman he loved with all his soul.******Enrique mansionJasmin watched Katherine closely. She couldn't decide what to do to her. The paparazzi had been all over the case, asking questions and trying, almost too forcefully to get answers. Since the suspects included Brian King, the case got bigger.The door opened, and Jasmin turned to see the intruders. She stared blatantly as an elegant
