LOGIN“I don’t want to be here.”I let out, weakly and tugged my face away from his hand. God! Where had all the oxygen gone to? I was finding it hard to breathe and he kept pressing his body against mine. “You look adorable when you lie.” He held my chin, forcing me to stare at him. “I am sure if I were to wrap your legs around my waist and fuck you against this door, you’d take my cock like a good girl.” He drawled, his cold eyes spearing into my soul. Heat pooled between my legs and I shook my head. **** Forced to marry Alora Ramos, Gael Torres vowed to remain in a loveless marriage with her. He gave her his rules. She wasn’t allowed to feel jealousy or any other possessive feelings towards him. They were in an open marriage where they could do whatever they wanted. But Gael never imagined Alora truly having extra marital affairs. And he definitely never imagined her getting involved with his cousin, the ruthless Don Lorenzo Armani. She had always been the docile little girl who followed him around. And then he realized that he might just end up breaking his own rules. Was it too late to get her back?
View More*LORENZO* Even with all the medications I was given at the hospital, it didn’t help. It didn’t improve my appetite neither did it improve my sleep. I had to keep forcing myself to eat and I requested for sleeping pills, I wanted to be knocked out so bad in my sleep so I wouldn’t have any nightmare.Though the sleeping pills had side effects such as migraines, and that led to me realizing that I might not have good quality of life left. It fucking felt like I wasn’t going to live long. At this point, it didn’t surprise me, I also felt really tired.I felt so…so tired. I thought about what my mother said about having an heir. Perhaps, if I had a child and he/she was raised far away from me, perhaps, the child could lead a happy life and maybe continue the Armani bloodline the healthy way. People might say it was unfair to deny a child of a father figure but I always wished I never had Gonzalo as my father. And knowing how fucked up I was, i
*LORENZO* *I want you to get married. And before you get hard-headed about this, think about it, you aren’t getting any younger. You need an heir to continue the Armani bloodline.* Alone in the hospital ward, these words ran through my head. Was there any need to? I kept asking myself that question. The ringing of my cellphone shatter through my thoughts.I reached for it, tremors shot through my whole body as I saw the name on my screen. Reina Alora was calling me? My heartbeat accelerated. I wanted to answer it. I desperately wanted to answer it. I wanted to hear her voice.It could speak life into me, it could make me feel alive again but I couldn’t bring myself to answer the phone.It rang off the first time and then she started calling again. I can’t answer it.I shouldn’t.I have to stop myself from getting drawn to her like before.By all means, I cannot cling to her again.When the second call rang off, I clicked on the block button. I felt
*LORENZO* I woke up to the sound of a loud voice, opening my eyes and taking in the fact that I was in a hospital, I sighed, heavily. “He’s awake.” I heard Diego say as he hurried over to me. “Get the doctor to come examine him!”And that loud annoying voice that woke me was my mother’s. Diego nodded and left the room.I glanced up at her. “Diego told me you’re malnourished? How can that be?! I then asked if that woman of yours hasn’t been taking care of you and he said you two are no longer together, what did I tell you? I told you she’s…” “Why are you here?” I asked. She scoffed. “Why am I here? My son fainted at the airport? Do you know the kind of scandal that caused? Some are even speculating that you might have a terminal illness. There are so many rumors of different false diagnosis that you might have. Not to talk of the dip the company’s stock had taken. It’s as if you sometimes forget you’re the head of Armani Group.”
“He passed out due a high level of stress and Malnutrition.” The doctor informed Diego. Diego sighed, deeply. He knew this was bound to happen. “I guess that Don Lorenzo might have been working a lot since he’s a very busy man. Though, it’s not advisable for anyone to work so much to the point of their body breaking down but I don’t understand why he wasn’t eating as well.” Diego had seen him go days without food for the past few weeks and when he finally tries to eat, he had noticed it seemed to be a huge chore for him. “I’ve gone through his medical records again. He doesn’t have an eating disorder prior to this.” “He doesn’t. He…em…he’s going through something.” Diego murmured. The doctor looked surprised as if it didn’t look possible for someone like Lorenzo to go through anything, to the point of not eating. It seemed to be a personal matter with the way Diego seemed reluctant to talk about it so he chose not to push it.
*ALORA* On getting to the hospital, I headed off to the front desk. When Lorenzo got shot and was hospitalized here, most of the nurses and doctors had already gotten to know me as his woman. So I thought it would be easy to see him this time. “I’m here to see Don Lorenzo.” I said to the nurse on the front desk. She obviously recognized me but then she replied. “Don Lorenzo isn’t accepting visitors at the moment.” “It’ll be fast I promise. I just want to make sure he’s okay.” “We can’t go against…” “Call Diego then. I’m sure you can reach him. Tell him Alora’s here. He’s going to let me see him for sure.” “Ma’am…” “Please, I’m begging you…” That seemed to have touched her for she reached for her telecom. “Hello, Sir Diego. Miss…” She stared at me and I quickly completed. “Ramos.” “Miss Ramos is here and she’s insisting on seeing Don Lorenzo…okay…got it…”She hung up and stared at me, s
*ALORA* It feels like the light had gone out of my life since Lorenzo and I stopped seeing each other. Setting aside the soup, I hugged my knees, tears burning my eyes.I didn’t know what to do now.Was it even right to still want him? Milena placed her hand on my arm. “Do you wanna go out? We could go to fun places to cheer you up.”I shook my head. “I don’t feel like going anywhere.”Deep down, the only thing I wanted was for Lorenzo to come to me like he always does. “Thank you for bringing me home last night. How do you even know I was there?” “You were at my favorite bar remember and it was Tomas’ shift last night. He called me to come get you.” Tomas was a bartender and also Milena’s friend. I had allowed myself to think that Lorenzo found out I was drunk and got Milena for me. I laughed at my own delusion. I always scolded him for following me around and here I was, hoping he could still follow me. “What’s funny?” I shook my head. “N
