There were three other big buildings asides from the main mansion in "The Roberto's" villa. Some were used for private dealings of Mr. Roberto and some were just built for fancy. Marco and other bodyguards dragged the blindfolded Ricardo into one of the mansions in the villa.Reaching an empty room, they threw him on the floor and locked the door immediately.Shortly after, Mr. Roberto entered the room followed by Marco and other bodyguards.They untied the blindfold and Marco raised Ricardo's head by dragging his hair.Mr. Roberto walked slowly toward him and smack him hard with his walking stick. "How dare you disrespect my wife?" He yelled, still beating Ricardo with the red walking stick with a golden handle.Marco let go of the already weak Ricardo and he dropped to the floor."I didn't disrespect your wife." Ricardo managed to speak slowly."You still want to deny it when I have the evidence? show him the video." He ordered and a bodyguard took out a tablet, tapped the screen,
Lucia jerked up and cough out water and tried to breathe"Lucia""Lucia""Lucia" Everyone called out at once."How are you feeling?" Ricardo asked, but she didn't respond. Ricardo immediately carried her inside the mansion, straight to her room.Mr. Roberto gave Maria a Stern look and said."Come with me." Claudia stood in front of her daughter."What do you mean?" She asked."How did Lucia fall into the pool?" He asked and Maria faked crying."Dad, I don't know. I met her already drowning.""Why didn't you save her? Lucia would never jump into the pool because she's aquaphobic. you're a good swimmer, right? you took swimming classes in school and I paid for it." He yelled at her angrily."Mother, I didn't do it." Maria cried more and Claudia hugged her."Don't ever let this repeat itself, I won't tolerate any harm caused to my daughter." He finished and left them both still standing by the pool.Claudia looked at her daughter, she knew Maria did it, but she couldn't allow her to be
They both stared at each other, silently. Until a knock on the door distracted them."I'll go check who's on the door," Ricardo said and stood up. Heading towards the door."I don't want to see anybody," Lucia replied and turned, facing the other side of the bed, and covered her body properly."I understand," Ricardo said and opened the door to see the tall, handsome man with dark hair dressed in a black and white lab coat. He must probably be the doctor. "Good morning. I'm ..." He was about to introduce himself and was interrupted by Lucia's voice from the room."Who is it?" she said out loud."You must be the doctor, come inside," Ricardo said and the doctor proceeds into the room"A doctor? I don't need one." Lucia said immediately he entered the room. "Good morning Miss Roberto, I'm Mr. Renee. your doctor and I are here to examine your health." The handsome young doctor said politely. instead, he got a snub and distasteful look from Lucia."Miss, I'll let the doctor attend to yo
Lina's eyes were focused on the man who entered the restaurant with a seductively dressed beautiful woman. Her eyes widened. It was Lucas, What is he doing here with another woman?. She thought.Maria is going to make a big scene out of this. "Lina?" Elisa called, waving her hand across her face. "What are you staring at?" She asked and was about to turn when Lina said."Nothing, it's nothing." then she focused on the triangle piece of strawberry cake on the white plate. and she used the fork to cut a piece from it. She tried concentrating, but at the same time. felt bad she didn't tell Maria.All she wished is for Lucas to leave quickly with the girl.Angel noticed her staring and she said."If you have eyes for him you can go get him, ignoring his girlfriend. You know no man can resist your beauty." She said and they all smiled."And who does she have eyes for? Maria said and sipped a bit from her coffee."Over there, She's been staring at the couple since they came in," Angel said
"Marco, are you doing? get that video out of the internet." Claudia flared up angrily. "Contact the blogs, everyone who published it. if they don't bring it down in the next minutes, kill them all." She yelled. Almost looking like a mad woman. She had just seen the video. It had so many views and more were coming. The comments weren't friendly."Yes ma'am, I'm on it." He replied and left hurriedly.Maria cried out loudly, she looked pale, her makeup smeared all over her face. Her mascara gave her natural dark circles. Her hair was messed up."Maria, it's okay. I'll have that bastard dealt with." Claudia said sitting close to her on the couch."Mum, don't do anything to him. I still love him." she cried more loudly."Okay, I've heard you. stop crying and think of a way to get your man back."Lucia who hid outside the door smiled.Just as she thought, they'll try to bring down the video using their influence. But she certainly won't let that happenJust then she had called a friend in L
Lucia didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, it was midnight. She finds herself in a simply designed bedroom, it was average. compared to hers at the villa. She looked around the room and her eyes landed at the wardrobe which was half opened and she noticed the men's clothes neatly hung in it. "Whose house was she in?" She asked under her breath."Did the man bring her to his house after ****ping her? didn't he have enough of her? She thought. She touched her body, she seemed untouched, Does it mean he didn't do anything to her? she had fainted after hitting her head on the wall. what happened afterward, she didn't remember. She was still in her joggers, but her top was changed. She wore a big polo top which seems to be for men. She looked small in the shirt and it covered almost all of her body. She touched her breasts and body. It doesn't feel sour, She then realized the man wasn't successful in ****ping her. Did someone come to save her? who was it?. This time, she s
Lucia sits on a wooden chair in the kitchen watching Ricardo cook. "I noticed we were the only ones in the house, you live alone?" She asked."Isn't it obvious?" Ricardo retorted immediately."What about your parents and family?" She asked again and took a bite from the apple she took from the fridge earlier."My parents are dead, they died a long time ago," Ricardo said with a frown, clenching his fist tightly. It was obvious he didn't like talking about it. Maybe it was part of what made him cold-hearted. Lucia thought. he always had an unhappy face, she had never seen him smile. Just brief grins and smirks. He must have had a hard life in the past and she wished to know about it. It must be one of the reasons why he cooks so well. growing up by himself, He must be the one who had to cook all his dishes.Soon, Ricardo was done preparing the food and Lucia offered to assist him to clean up the kitchen."There's no need, I'll do that myself after eating, wait at the dining while I ser
"Are you not going to say anything, Roberto?" She said to me Roberto who only stared at her quietly.being pissed by his ignorance, Lucia flared up angrily and her loud voice could be heard all over the room as she stood up and spoke."Fine, since you don't want to give me a job in your company. I'll go ahead and get a job somewhere else. And don't you dare interfere with my affairs." "Lucia..I." She didn't wait for him to complete his sentence when she turned and left the study room. Bashing the door loudly.Mr. Roberto wasn't surprised, she inherited her stubbornness from her mother. May her precious soul rest in peace. The study room was quiet again as he sat alone, as usual, reading. Ricardo met with Lucia in the hallway coming from the study room. With the looks on her face, she must have had another quarrel with her father.It must be really serious because she didn't notice him and walked away.Immediately he entered the study room. He met Mr. Roberto smoking, with a newspape
