"Stop." She pleaded when Luca was about to take a step towards her.He halted on his step, his cold eyes bore to her. "Didn't I tell you to go home? What the fuck are you still doing here?""Are you for real?! Really, Luca?!"He sigh in resignation, "Let's go home."Patricia took a step backwards, wiping away her tears. She can't believe she fell for his trap. "No! Who are you, really?""D-didn't she knows what you do Luca?" Isabella tauntingly asked even though she's having a hard time."Shut up." Luca gritted his teeth. His comrades didn't do anything, they better knew not to let Luca's wife see such cruelty."He kills people, Patti. He's part of the mafia. He works on the shadow, trying to lure people into his world."Patricia stared at Luca in disbelief. She can't believe that the man she had shared her dreams about is one of the people she hates the most.Luca knew how she hated the guts of a mafia. Out of all the people Patricia trusted, Luca is the one who managed to enter and
"What are you doing here?""I see you are now back in your apartment. Did you already find out that your husband is a mafia don? How does it feel?" William asked tauntingly. He's very different from the soft spoken William she once had.Just when Patricia thought her day couldn't get any worst. William showed up in her apartment. How did he knew doesn't matter anymore. For sure her father sent him to take Patricia back. They're probably laughing because of her misfortune."You've been keeping tabs on me? Why can't all of you just mind your own business?""Your parents are worried of you."Patricia scoffed, only a fool would believe that her parents really cared for her. "Sure, they are.""Let's go home, Tricia. Stop living this kind of life.""Kind of life?""As Patricia Arquette. Stop it. You deserve the whole world, you should travel and wore expensive things. Go and do everything you want, you don't need to work your ass for money. You have that already.""You're ridiculous. What h
She left. His wife left him. Luca was devastated when he went home and couldn't find Patricia. He already had a hunch that his wife won't easily forgive him, but he didn't think it would resort to this situation. His wife knows how dangerous it is to leave without a bodyguard, but being the hardheaded woman she was, she still left the house without someone."Fuck it." He whispered under his breath. A part of him is relieved to know where she is, but it's still not enough. He wants to hold her. Luca can never calm down unless he is with his wife.She may not know it, but Luca put a tracker on her engagement ring. So he knows that she's on her way to the abandoned house they were supposed to visit."Your wife's hold on you is scary," Alejandro commented when he saw the devastated and horrified look of Luca.Luca threw a glare at his friend because he knows what Alejandro is thinking, "Shut up."Instead of shutting his mouth to save himself, Alejandro cracked a sly smile. Further teasing
When Patricia was young, she would cry for help to escape everything that pains her. She wanted to disappear and die so she could stop feeling helpless. She learned the hard way, and she doesn't want to repeat the same mistake of not doing anything about her problems. She's tired of running away just because she can't control the situation according to her will."Are you sure we'll be okay here?" Lily asked when they arrived at their townhouse.She called her best friend so Patricia could inform Lily about her plans. Patricia just wanted to tell Lily, but the girl was hardheaded and insisted on coming.Patricia stared at the manor, "Yes, this is the place. The answer to my questions.""I'm not sure. Alejandro-"The slip of Lily's tongue made Patricia suddenly feel the churn of burning sensation crawl on her skin. It's not a good one though. Her stomach churns at the sound of her husband's friend."What do you mean?"Her best friend's eyes start to wander around, not meeting hers. So s
"You're not on the list, Ma'am." The secretary annoyingly said when Patricia insisted to get inside.Luca Silvestri, is one of the most sought businessmen. The same man also has strict security when it comes to who can enter his office and talk to him privately. Well, given that he owns a tech company, that only explains why the security is tight although it seems not like it."Look, Miss Secretary. My job is at risk, they are going to fire me if I can't interview Mr. Silvestri. Just this one, please?" Patricia pleaded.Actually, the company wouldn't fire her but looking at the situation, it seems like she needs to do more pleading even if it means lying to the poor secretary.She's working at Pro-Live Magazine, which features successful people all around the world. Their highlight of the month is to interview a bachelor man whose name is popular in the business industry. They could market these bachelor businessmen to gain popularity for their company to be known."Even if I wanted t
"How was it?" Kelsey greeted her when she made her way outside."Your boss is crazy! I hate him so much!" Patricia vented while running her fingers through her hair.She's huffing because of irritation. Well, irritation is an understatement, she loathed him. Really really hated him."Here's his lunch... And yours too.""Mine?""Your nana said we should eat on time. And didn't you say you will bring him lunch?"Patricia laughed with no humor, then stridden towards Kelsey. She bit her lower lip when she saw the food."I'm getting my lunch, but to hell with that damn arrogant man. Don't feed him."Kelsey laughed then get the food before she went to the door, "You really need to be careful. Didn't you know that there's a CCTV with audio in here?"If Kelsey said that earlier, Patricia would have been feeling embarrassed. But she got to meet Silvestri and she hated him."I ducking hate you, Silvestri. Burn in hell." She stated loud enough for him to hear on his audio.Patricia planned on go
Patricia was silent the whole ride. She can't still get away from the fact that Luca has access to her. She knew that aside from her lies, Luca knew something more. Something that could destroy her. And she's not sure whether she could take another destruction or if it would lead her to death.When they arrived at Luca's house. He asked her a question."Didn't I tell you to convince me more?""I'm seducing you tonight." She nonchalantly said.Though she did not mean it. To hell with that man. Luca Silvestri is more dangerous than she thought. Did she make the wrong decision of accepting the job? Will she lose everything she worked hard for?All her life, she's been very cautious about making decisions. Why did it have to be this way now? Where did she go wrong?"I'm looking forward to it.""Oh just shut up!"Luca did shut up, but there was an annoying grin on his face and Patricia wants to wipe it off.Come on, Patricia. Think of something."Do you want to fuck me? That's why you are
"What happened to the dinner?" Clinton asked when Patricia arrived at the office."We talked about when we are going to do the interview and that's by the end of the month since his schedule was hectic.""I still can't believe that Mr. Silvestri would agree to an interview."Patricia heaves a long sigh on her seat."What's the problem? Aren't you happy about it?""No, it's just that it's weird working with your fiancee."Clinton's eyes widen, "What?! What fiancee are you talking about?""Uh. Luca?""Luca Silvestri is your fiancee? Are you... are you sure you're okay? Did you hit your head or something?"She laughs at his expression, "I'm serious. Just don't tell anyone yet, we are not going to announce it until the end of the month.""I'm really wondering why he agreed. So that explains why? When did you two get into a relationship? How did you meet?""The Barone's ball, it's been years. I've been there to interview someone and I bumped into the infamous Luca Silvestri." She stated fl
