I heard someone calling me; I turned around to see Rory's worried face.
“What happened, what are you looking at?” Rory said,
“Nothing, you were saying?“ I replied.
“Yeah. So I was thinking of investing in that company. ``He was talking about his company. His father was sick, and he took over the company blaze textiles, it's leading in Los Angeles. His father has put people around Ro to help him with things with the company.
My mind was elsewhere, everything I could think of was him. I don’t know why, but he took all my interest.
****
After our dinner, we bid goodbyes, and he took off in his car and I started walking towards my car. I saw a sleek black Lamborghini waiting. I saw that same man getting in “rich people,” I mumbled and drove off from the restaurant.
While I’m riding, I felt like someone was following me. I checked out, but couldn’t find anyone. So, I parked my car and went inside my house.
Yeah, I live alone, my mom died due to cancer 3 years back and my father died in a car accident when I was eight. I hate my cousins and relatives. So, I only have my grandma left, she lives in Florida far from Los Angeles.
I’m still a student studying at Los Angeles high school. I was a High scoring candidate in my school, and because of this, I was receiving a very good scholarship from my school. I worked hard for it.
My mother and my father have put so much money in my name because of which I haven't had a problem till now, my grandmother also sends me money every month without delay.
I was setting up time in my alarm to wake up and get ready tomorrow morning for school.
I was about to lay down on my bed but heard someone furiously knocking on the door.
I stood up and slowly walked out of my room to open the main door.
I slowly opened it and saw a very handsome man wearing a black suit standing there with something in his hand.
He has something in his hands I can’t see because he’s hiding it behind.
“yes?” I asked, He looked at me and gave me a box to me, it was decorated.
“It’s for you ma’am,” he said and started walking towards his car.
“Hey mister, wait “.
He drove off. I took the box inside and unwrapped it.
Inside there’s a book, I lifted it in my hands. It’s a novel. I love novels. I read them a lot, but who gave me this there’s no name on the box.
I flipped the box, and I saw a piece of paper with a quote stick to it.
“And in her smile, I saw something more beautiful than the Stars“
L.F
It was written beautifully.
Who’s this l.f I tried to remember, but I don’t know anyone with that name. I opened the book.
“One day by David Nicholls’’
I thought I would read it, but if I start it now, I will not sleep tonight.
I’ll just read it tomorrow after school, it’s best or else I’ll never get up from my bed. I put that book on my study table and climbed up on my bed to sleep. I closed my eyes to sleep but I can’t, you know why? Yeah! That man ahh! god now that Greek god is disturbing my sleep schedule too.
With great difficulty, I slept.
*******
Tik*tik*tik*tik*tik
My alarm started Ringing, “Ah god fuck my life aghhh “
Groaning, I got up from my bed, went to the washroom, and did my morning duties. Then it’s time to dress up. I took off my off-shoulder yellow crop top, wore it with my ripped jeans, Did my hair, and put on some lip gloss. Yeah, that’s my makeup, only lip gloss. I don't know why I don’t like to make up. I just feel that makeup is a waste of time.
I went to the kitchen, did my breakfast, ate it, and rushed to my car.
I reached school and parked my car. I walked into my school.
“Hey v wait “turned around and saw Beth coming from the parking lot.
Beth John is my best friend from 6th class, she is an exquisite woman behind those big glasses. She is blonde, tall, and skinny. We both are complete opposites.
I’m short, maybe 5.3, with jet black shoulder-length hair, and big brown eyes. Our tastes are also different.
“Hey, slow down beth,” I said,
She took a deep breath, and we started walking towards my locker, talking to each other.
“Hey look who’s here vvvv Vanessa, The fat bitch“
Oh, fuck! That’s Casse Armond Queen bitch of our school, she is rich, her father and mother both are doctors, and she is the heiress to most leading hospitals in Los Angeles. she is a disgusting pig not in looks but behavior.
She’s like 5.8 tall, has long legs, a slim body, and lots of Noooo No tons of make-up on her face.
Right now, she is dating our football captain of the school.
Remond gray, he is super hot with a boyish smile, he has 3 more friends. They are like a gang always together, all of them are super hot and every girl in my school drools over them.
“ Did you have your breakfast, fatso? “ Casey asked, rubbing my flat stomach.
“ Ha! look at her Casee, what a chubby little girl, “ Alessa said touching my cheek.
That’s Alessa black,
She is a bitch number two, both are big fat bitchs of the school, and they bully everyone.
“ Aww what happened to my shorty, cat got your mouth? “ Casey said touching my cheek
I said nothing to them, I just ignored them and took my things from the locker, calming myself. Usually, I don’t fight much, but if someone starts a fight I’ll never back down a bit.
Beth And I started walking toward our class. She has a history class. I have math, so we went our separate ways.
I opened my schedule to see what my last class was.
Suddenly I bumped into something hard, I was about to fall but Two strong arms held me still.
Curiously I looked up, Huh it’s Remond gray, I quickly stood up.
“ Sorry “ I mumbled,
He looked at me muttering something under his breath.
“ Where are those fucking eyes? , can’t you see where your walking idiot is !! “
I was fuming right now, I was already pissed because of his girlfriend back then, glaring at him I said,
“ You should fucking see where you’re going too stupid “ With that, I turned and started walking towards my class, he grabbed my arm and shoved me to the wall,
“ What did you just say? “ he said, glaring at me
“ Are you deaf can’t you hear? “ I said in a shaking voice, glaring at him.
he was just an inch far from my face, if I moved a little our lips would touch. He was that close, gritting his teeth he said,
“ Don’t you dare talk to me like that “
I stumped on his feet and ran towards my class, his groaning catching his feet.
I took a deep breath and entered my class.
By God’s grace and mercy, I didn’t see him again. Thank God for this.
At lunch break me and Beth decided we would go to the cafeteria to eat something . we took the plate and sat down at a table
We are having our lunch. I can feel someone glaring at me and that’s Remond gray.
He was sitting with his friends in his usual place, his girlfriend was all over him, wanting his attention but he was busy glaring at me.
Later after lunch, I went back to class. Remond was also in the same class, we have 4 same classes.
Hah, what a lovely life I’m living.
He was sitting across from my table.
Miss Mekenza started the class, I was seriously listening to the class, then a paper was thrown at me.
I looked at it and opened it
“Meet me after school today at the back of the school and come alone,“ I looked up to see who threw it.
Remond was looking at me, indicating that it was him who threw it.
I was scared, what if he does something to me what will I do?
No, your brave v nothing will happen to you and see what he wants that’s it.
After school, I went to the back of the school. He was waiting for me already. When did he come, and how did he come so fast?
“You’re late,” he said, glaring at me.
I said nothing about it.
“What do you want? “
“Hm, direct to the point,“ smirking he said, I want to slap that off.
“Guys,“ he called
I turned back and Casee threw ice cream on my face and all over my dress. I was shocked to react, they were laughing at me, high-fiving each other.
“Oh, dear Vanessa, crying? look guys, she’s crying “ Remond said, laughing like a maniac.
He grabbed my jaw,
“Next time... if you talk to me like that.. I’ll rip your head off “
With that, he pushed me aside and went off with his friends.
“H..How do you know?” I asked him with tears flowing down my eyes,He walked towards me with a smile on his face while I was staring at him with tears freely flowing down my eyes.He sat on his one knee and took my hand in his, his eyes were sparkling with happy tears rolling in them, “Do you really think you could hide it from me?” he asked with a lite smirk on his lips. I chuckled at his question, “Yeah, Enzo will find everything,” I replied shyly, he chuckled at my remark.“Thank you so much for making me the happiest person on this planet,” He said while kissing my hands while smiling the whole time unable to express how happy I was.“I love you,” He whispered as he placed his head against my belly and placed a kiss, I was so happy and excited for our baby.“Okay, but how do you know that it's a princess? It could be a princess too,” I said, looking at him with a smirk on my lips.“NO! It's a princess, that’s it!” He said in a way that it’s a bad idea to have a boy like him, I jus
VANESSA'S POV.6 MONTHS LATER,“I don’t know, Beth!..I..I’m scared,” I said as I was looking around,“Don’t be afraid Ven, just tell him!” she said from the other side,“I’m nervous,” I replied as I rubbed my sweaty hands to my top.“Don’t be, Ven!” she said and hung up on me, I placed my hand over my chest and took a deep breath as I was very nervous to tell him this.I turned around and walked out of the room towards his study room, even though I tried to not be nervous but I was nervous to tell him this. Since it's been days that I hid this from him, Beth advised me to tell it before it's too late.I walked towards his study room and knocked on it, “Come in,” he said,I pushed the big wooden door and walked in, I saw him turn his back as he was speaking on the phone, “Do that!..yeah,...okay I'll call you back!” he replied and turned towards me while keeping his phone inside his pocket, he looked happy. He walked straight to me and claimed my lips, I kissed him back while placing my
We walked to the dining table and sat in our chairs, Judy placed a bowl for Dimitri and placed his breakfast. He growled, looking at Enzo. He didn't like him much because last time when Enzo went to Nikolai's place Dimitri saw him shouting at Nikolai and from then Dimitri hated Enzo.Even today, he growls at him, whenever he tries to come closer to Nikolai Dimitri jumps on him.Yes, this happened last time when Nik brought him here. As they were leaving, Enzo moved to Nik to hug him and Dimitri lunged at Enzo, he made Enzo run back to me. I had lifted Dimitri up in my arms and taken him out to the garden. It took an entire one hour for me to relax him.Judy served us breakfast and everyone was having their breakfast calmly, I glanced at the main door while having my breakfast. I sighed and looked at my plate with a sad expression on my face,"Don't worry, they'll be here before, your graduation ceremony," he whispered, noticing my sadness.I smiled at him, but I was still sad that the
TWO YEARS LATER, “Enzo,” I yelled as I walked from the walk-in closet, today was my graduation day and Enzo promised he would come with me to the ceremony but he was still sleeping like a baby boy. I walked towards the bed while wearing my earrings, I grabbed the pillow and hit him with it, “Enzo, get up!” I yelled and hit him again with the pillow, “Ah!!” I screamed as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto the bed, he pinned me down and climbed on top of me, “I need my morning snack,” he said as he raised my top and moved his head under it, he began placing kisses on my chest. “Oh! Enzo,” I tried to pull him out of my top, but he pinned my hands on the top of my head and began kissing the upper part of my breast and my cleavage, I moaned out loud as he placed his other hand on my stomach and began moving his finger around my belly button. “Enzo, we will be late....We’ll continue this after the ceremony!” I whispered, he kept on kissing my neck and stomach, “Enzo!
“Boss, to your right!” I heard John yelling from behind, I ran to my right side of the corridor and then I saw her. I stopped in my tracks as I saw her, she was laying on the floor at the end of the corridor while her hands were tied. My breathing stopped looking at the way she was laying on the floor. “Venessa!” I screamed as I began running towards her, tears were rolling down my eyes as I was running like my life depended on it. I was just a few meters away from her but I suddenly hit myself with some invisible mirror in the way, I fell back because of the sudden hit. Blood began flowing down from my nose, My head began spinning and I couldn't even stand up on my own. Every time I tried to stand up and I fell back again, I slammed my fist against the mirror but it wasn't breaking.“v..Ve...Ven..essa!” I whispered while I placed my head against the big mirror, Nothing was clear to me. Everything was blurry, “Venessa,” I whispered as I tried to get by pressing my hands against the m
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, You need to act like her now, Enzo. This is the only option you have now to know what she is up to. I thought to myself and opened my eyes and glanced at her with a smirk as one good idea stuck my mind, “I have a deal,” I said with a smirk playing on my lips, I watched her quietly as she strolled over the desk and sat on the edge of the desk resting her right leg over my left.“What made you think that I would listen to your deal,” she said with annoyance evident in her voice. “I know you would,” I said with a wider smirk on my face because I was making her irritated, She averted her gaze towards Seth, on the chair, “Tell me” she said in an uninteresting tone making me even happier that my idea was working. I began walking towards her, maintaining my charms to make her week and it was working, The look on her face was telling me that. As I was walking closer to Veness who was sitting on the desk, I felt something very strange. I don’t k
All of a sudden, all the lights of the room were switched on making us close our eyes. It took a few seconds for us to adjust to the bright lights. I glanced at Nikolai to see him at the other side of the room, and John was the opposite side, I looked at the front and when recognized the woman standing in front of me in a long black strapless dress with a deep back with her soft black hair which was neatly laid down and she was standing with her back to me, the world around me stopped.I felt like there was no air in the room, “Venessa?” I whispered.Hearing me she turned around and my breath hitched looking at her gorgeous face, I couldn’t believe that she was my Venessa. Her red lips with smoky eye shadow and those pink cheeks, she was a completely different person. Her dress was very revealing for my liking, I didn’t understand who she was?. Because my Venessa would never wear this kind of sluty dress and makeup, the situation we are in she wouldn’t dress up like this. I glanced a
I glanced at the building and sighed, “Fine!, what’s the plan,” I asked, I was very impatient to go inside and get my Venessa back. “Boss, you’ve already been hit, we will cover you and Nikolai’s men will wipe Boris’s men out…(he glazed at the laptop.) as per the tracker… Venessa is…. On the top floor,” he said, I glanced at Nikolai to see whether he was okay with the plan! Even though he seems okay to me, I asked, “What do you think?” he looked at me for a sec without saying anything and slowly began nodding his head, “It’s good, but our first priority is Venessa, we should first find her and get her out of this place and then our men will find where Boris is! We will come back and kill him… and I will also cover you, My men will wipe them out,” he said while opening the car door. I didn’t know how to react to his words but I knew he would die for me since he’s my brother. I opened the door and walked around the car, immediately my men and Nikolai surrounded me. It was an old count
Thinking about it I tripped and was about to fall down but in time Nikolai caught my shoulder and held me, “Enzo!” he yelled, helping me stand up. “What is wrong with you?” Nikolai shouted at me while helping me sit on the bed, he handed me a glass of water and helped me drink it. I drank it whole and placed it on the table, “This was the reason I’m asking to stay Enzo,” Nikolai said, “I can’t sit here, Knowing my wife got kidnapped by that son of a bitch,” I yelled at him before he could say anything the doctor walked in with an unimpressed expression on his face. We all glanced at him, he walked to us dragging a chair with him. He placed the chair in front of me and sat on it. He looked at all of the people present in the room, “Can I talk to these two please,” he said, looking at me and Nikolai, hearing him, My men and Nikolai’s men walked out of the room leaving Nikolai with the doctor and me.After they left us, the doctor looked at us and took a deep breath,” Mr. Francisco, wh
