"Let's go.", Tristan said to Matteo after staring at the screen for a while.He left with Matteo few minutes later in his new sport car. "You are manager, Matteo. In case you are asked who you are.* Tristan said as Tristan started the car."Okay boss. Noted." Matteo replied and pulled out of the parking lot.**"Ah! Finally. He's here." Samantha sighed when she saw Tristan's car driving in.The car rolled in, stopped in front of the gate and Tristan stepped out of the car.Samantha sighed, staring at him as he approached. "He's looking so hot.... isn't he?""Huh...yeah. so hot." Gianna quickly mumbled and looked away."You are all set. Sorry for keeping you waiting." Tristan said, taking Samantha's hand.Samantha smiled. "It's okay. We should start going. My manager is already waiting. This is Tyler. He will help me in the background.""Oh. Yeah. Tyler." Tristan mumbled, looking at Gianna who refused to meet his gaze. "Shall we?" Tristan asked, gesturing towards the car.They all wal
Tristan sat on his bed, a tall glance of wine in his hand. He swirled the substance in his cup around, almost spilling it as he stared at the ground. He was thinking deep about something. There was something he could do, to get right information on Harley Finley, to know about him. He wanted to know what that garden was for. There might be a clue there. He thought about a way to manipulate Samantha, to get informations from her.He smiled suddenly as an idea slipped into his mind. He stood up from bed, dropped his wine on the drawer.Theee was a knock, the door opened and Matteo walked in. "Boss."Tristan spared him a moment stare. "Leah is here."Tristan stared at him, longer. "Evan." He cursed under his breath. "Take her to the spare room." Tristan ordered.Matteo bowed and left.*Leah looked around the room, her searching searching. She was a pretty girl and blond. Slim with average height. She's been trained too and thus, it made her as hard and heartless as most of the Mafia
He escorted Samantha to her car, kissed her goodnight.**Samantha got home after dark. She couldn't stop touching and staring down at the golden neck chain. She was so touched, she felt loved and cherished.Just as soon as she stepped into her room, a call came from Ethan, her manager."It's late, Ethan. Can it wait till tomorrow?" She asked.Ethan scoffed from the other line. "i can't believe you are saying this to me. You didn't even bother to call me before leaving the studio. Why? Because of that guy?"Samantha dropped her bag on her bed, sat down. "Hold on a minute. What's your problem with Tristan? Do you guys know each other before now?'"I've never met him before, Samantha. That isn't what we are talking about. I'm talking about the fact that you forgot to be in touch with me all because of him.""Good night Mr Welch. I can't have this argument with you right now. I'm tired." Gianna cut the call before Ethan would say anything else.She sighed, her fingers still romancing th
"I'm nobody. I'm just trying to keep you company." Leah replied meekly."Get out. I don't need company and certainly not from you.""Okay cutie. I certain we are gonna meet again though." Leah giggled and left.Nelson scoffed. "It's a pity. You do not know who you are dealing with." He said under his breath.****Hours later**It was near evening. Everywhere was getting dark. Tristan sat in front of the large screen, staring blankly at it. Ever since he has seen Gianna and Layla talking, he was drawn to them somehow. He wanted to know why Gianna would turn herself to a man. He really wanted to know.About 8 pm, Leah came into the room."Did you have to start with so much arrogance?" Tristan asked, not turning to look at her. He heard everything Leah and Nelson had said because Leah had a listening device in her clothe."I wanted to get his attention. That was why I did that." Leah replied with a eye roll as she stood behind him."Did your old fashioned method work?""It's not old fa
"No. No. It's just a coincidence." Tristan said out loud but even as he said that, he still couldn't stop thinking of the possibilities."Boss? Is everything okay?" Matteo asked, looking up at the screen. "What happened to her?" He added when he saw Layla crying while Gianna comforted her.Tristan was silent. He shook his head and stop up. "Turn everything off." He ordered and left the room.Matteo shrugged and did as he was told. **"Tristan! I didn't hear from you yesterday!" Samantha said happily as she conversed with Tristan on the phone. It was morning and she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom."Was busy. How are you my lady?""I'm fine Tristan. Did you checked the NTA news? God.....we are trending." Samantha said with deep breaths."I see." Tristan mumbled."Since it's a Saturday. Can you come over? Let's spend time together. Please..... don't say no. I have something to tell you too."Tristan was silent for a while. "Sure." He finally answered.Samantha gasped. "Really?
Tristan stood, face to face with Nelson."What are you doing here?" Nelson asked again.Tristan figured out that he didn't see him planting the device. He stared cooly at him then nodded towards the picture on the wall. "That's a beautiful portrait. I think you should continue smiling." Nelson walked past him, looked around as if looking for something. "Why did you come into my room? What do you want?""Oh pardon. Your room? Well...I was stretching my leg... waiting for my lady to come out..." "What are you to my sister? Are you guys really partners? You don't seem that way to me. I'm warning you. Don't think of doing anything to my sister. I love her, she's like everything I have." "Hmm. Sounds sweet." Tristan replied, nodding his head.The door opened, revealing Samantha. "Tristan? What's going on?" She asked, coming into the room."Nothing serious, my lady. Your brother and I are just having a friendly chat." Tristan replied with a smile."Oh.", Samantha smiled and looked at Nel
Samantha got to the guest house and met her mom speaking to someone over the phone. She decided to wait outside the door."Yeah. She's still as stubborn as always. Yeah. Come on Quentin, you know I love my daughter so much. I wish she can just come with me so we can live as o e family. Drake and Debby are also excited about seeing her. I will try convincing her again. Yeah."Samantha stood outside the door, listening to her mom. She rolled her eyes and walked in. She stood in front, folded her arms and shook her head. "Huh.... Quentin....let me call you back." Agnes said and cut the line. She put the phone down beside her, glanced up at her daughter. "Sammy....""Who were you talking to about me?" "That was your step father. He wants me to come back with you because I was always worried about you."Samantha rolled her eyes again. "Mom....I can't leave dad behind and I can't leave my current contract behind too. They mean a whole lot to me. Why can't you just understand?" "And what
Tristan sat on the rocking chair on the veranda, a glass of wine in his hand.He couldn't keep the smile off his face as he remembered how he had threatened Gianna. He sipped his drink, smiled again.He remembered seeing the red garden and how the guards stood firmly outside. There was no doubt that something was off and he, Tristan Bruno would be finding out very soon.Leah came out into the veranda, stood by the railing in front of Tristan and leaned over it. "You are smiling. It must be something great.""Fascinating is the word." Tristan mumbled."Hmm. I see. I'm having another unusual date with our target. What will you do after I get his attention? What are you gonna do after I have him right here in my palms?" Leah asked, stretching forward her hand.Tristan looked at her and gave a cut nod. "Make an incredible progreey first, turn I'd tell you." Leah smiled. "I'm making progress already. Why aren't you believing me?" Mattie came out then and bowed. "Boss. There's a message f
