Fuck!

Just fucking look at yourself

Donald said staring into a broken mirror. The shards were on the floor, and his crooked reflection stared back at him

You lack the power, and the authority to command respect. That asshole Palmer would never fucking talk to Luca like that!

He paced up and down

“Arman disrespected me, I could be the fucking CEO someday and he doesn't give me my share of respect!”

He slammed his fist on the already broken mirror, and pieces came crashing down

“Ughhh!”

He said, stepping over the glass and out of the toilet of his suite

“Do you need a towel babe”

Donald turned around, but there was no one there. He lived alone for goodness sake. He was hearing things in his head.

Somehow he felt that Claire's presence was hunting him for what he did to her

“Fuck you Claire, fuck that bitch Sharon. Fuck Arman and fuck that psycho who works for my grandfather.

You're all pawns, pawns!”

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and picked it up, it was Enya. He had scheduled a date a week before

“Hello Donald it's Enya, Mr Luca Pavilochenki's secretary in case you've forgotten”

“Of course I remember you” He said, faking a smile

“Well, I'm at the restaurant you told me about and you aren't there—”

“I was caught up with work, I'll be there in no time”

“No, if you can't make it, we'll just do it some other—”

“No! I said I'm on my way”

There was a brief silence

“O— Kay

I'll be waiting”

Donald drove to the restaurant in a frenzy. He had given her an impression of himself that he didn't want to dent

Enya was seated at a VIP table, wearing a cherry red dress. It wasn't difficult for Donald to spot her

“Sorry for keeping you waiting” he said as he took his seat

“No it's fine, I didn't wait long” she watched him closely

“Are you sure you're okay Donald? You seem a bit tense”

He ran his hand through his hair and smiled

“I'm just a little tired, that's all”

They talked and ate for hours, and for a moment, Donald could pretend he wasn't being plagued. He could pretend he had things under control

“You know Claire I really just want to say I like where this is going, and I wish—”

“Fuck Donald, our names don't even begin with the same letter

Who's Claire?”

Donald sighed silently

Enya I'm sorry, Claire was a friend of mine, from my past

There was silence

Enya adjusted her glasses

“I'll be honest with you Donald. I'm smart enough to know the kind of person you are. You're the type of guy that uses people to get what you want

I know this is just another one of your flings. Soon I'll also become someone from your past”

“What we have is different”

“I don't think I can manage all of this. To be honest I don't think me and you could work out”

“So why did you come here?”

“To say goodbye Donald”

She stood up with her purse in her hand

Maybe someday you'll be wise enough to see that women are people, with feelings.

And they all deserve to be respected—

*********************

Claire could not just lie there, hurt. She couldn't just luck her wounds in silence while the person responsible walked around like a free man

Donald took advantage of her, and she was going to hurt him in every way she could.

She found out the name of the woman he was “dating”. It wasn't difficult for her, he actually had the guts to post their pictures online.

Donald never really went public with their relationship, and Claire understood why. He didn't value her enough to prove that their relationship ever existed m

It was obvious Donald took the new girl serious. He never got her drunk, hadn't slept with her yet—

Was he truly in love?

Claire was in love too, with him. And he left her broken. She wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine

So she stalked the bitch!

Gave her a breakdown of what happened, with evidence.

Enya didn't seem surprised, like she had anticipated it.

She wanted Donald to feel how she felt, she wanted him to fall victim to his schemes

And it worked

Claire gave Enya pictures, screenshots and receipts. Took pictures of the part of her hair he had pulled out, made her understand he was a terrible person. More than enough evidence to show he was playing her before. And Enya decided she wasn't going to be his next victim.

She was just beginning her first phase of revenge

But somehow, none of that seemed to bring her joy, or satisfaction even.

Somehow she longed for something she couldn't describe

She had been scarred, bruised, used. And somehow she felt nothing was going to fill the void he created

She couldn't continue dancing at the club, she just couldn't find it in her anymore. The drive, the enthusiasm that once chatted her course of life had been swept away. So she decided to work as a waitress in a cheap restaurant.

And every time she felt like she needed to heal, Donald's words came crashing like daggers into her

She was going to heal someday, but it would take a long long time

    I felt his eyes move from my face,to my neck, to my cleavage. The robe did what it could—I could feel the heat rising inside of me. He wanted me, I could see it in his eyes. But I had to resist him, I mean we had barely even spent a day.If I was going to make it through in one piece, I needed to get him off my mind. That was the problem precisely. He was Luca Pavilochenki—“Ciao Bella signora!”I looked around for the owner of the squeaky voice, but I couldn't find himThen I looked down. He was standing between us, looking at me like I was the most fascinating thing in the world He was missing a few teeth, probably six or seven years old. And then I remembered the chorus that morning. Could he be one of them?“Well hello”I said, wondering if he had been there the whole time. If he had watched me and Luca grow awkward. But wait, he didn't understand English.I heaved a sigh of relief as I patted him on the headHe smiled at me, his missing teeth making him all the more cuteThen h

    Welcome to Italy!The air hostess’ words filtered through space Sharon's mind was far away. Her and Luca hadn't seen each other for hours. No texts, not calls, nothing.He seemed to respect her privacy a little too much She was scared, scared of opening up a wound that didn't properly heal in the first place. She was scared of letting him know about her tragic past, scared letting him see what she had been hiding Nobody knew, not even Claire So she pushed him away—And gosh, she didn't even mean to But like he said, they were strangers.They landed in a private jet terminal in Florence, and walked into the VIP Like strangers, who met by chance on the plane—Immediately they filed the necessary paperwork, they were both met by two tour guides. Their luggage was taken to their respective places of residence It was evening, they were both tired, and things weren't quite settled between them The night was cold, and even the warmth of Italy couldn't shield herSharon looked at h

    Sharon's fork fell to the floorHer eyes went blank, and her face was frozen in expression “Sharon I—”“Leave”“What?”“I'm not comfortable— around you”At that moment, Luca realised he had stepped on uncharted territory. Sharon never spoke to him about her nightmares, never gave him an explanation for her post traumatic responsesHe always suspected something, but he never gave in to his curiosity. Never asked, never pried, never raised questions And now, he just ruined a genuine moment, hopefully the first of many to come—By stating that she had a traumatic childhood Luca slowly stood up, with his head bowed “Sharon”“Don't fucking call me that. You're a stranger to me, remember?”Sharon had never spoken to him like that before. Infact she hardly defied him. He usually had his way, somehow. But he was beginning to realise that he hadn't touched the tip of the iceberg And winning her trust, her heart—Was still an abstract thought. One moment he felt like he was making progres

    “Hey”“Riann”“Huh?”“Do you usually fall asleep on strangers?”Sharon became aware of her surroundings, and yes, she was sleeping on him Still, she had no idea how she got into that position, since she had been sitting opposite him “I'm sorry”She said, standing up quickly. Like he was the plague“I don't mind, really”She went back to her initial sitting position “No thanks”“Are you hungry Bella?”“No”Sharon folded her arms around her waist, but she couldn't stifle the sound of her stomach growling Luca gave her a comical smile “Will you eat with me?”Sharon sighed. She knew where it was going. He would offer to feed her during the course of their meal, and hold her in a romantic position. And slowly, she would desire his touch, his affection And eventually, they would do it again, and again, and Sharon would slowly fall in love—“No, I don't dine with strangers”Luca pressed a small bell and two waiters walked in with trays of food“It's okay, I'll leave the room for you t

    “We will now take off, I urge you to sit tight and make yourselves comfortable”The cheesy voice of the air hostess echoed through Sharon smiled slightly She sat on a plush white cushion, a table was set in front of her with various appetizersLuca was in another room, keeping his word to make things appear like they met on the tripIt was delusional, but cuteTheir first encounter was terrible, their second, even worseAnd now they were just supposed to forget everything, the doubt, the uncertainty, all of itIt was like—A fresh start A sort of do over.They never got to discover anything about each other before they were married, never courted, never had genuine moments Their marriage was like a death sentence, a cross they had to carry, a burden they were straddled with Maybe if they had met under normal circumstances, maybe if they weren't forced into a union, things would've been different For Sharon, it was going to be a journey of self discovery. She was twenty three yea

    “You look beautiful”Sharon turned to see Luca standing behind her. He was wearing a plain black shirt, with black pants and loafers. His lips were curled slightly into a smile His eyelashes fanned his deep blue eyes, and his hair was messed up perfectly, adding to his sheer beauty His presence sent shivers through her, and when their eyes met, for a moment, just a moment, they shared something beautiful.It was a fragile feeling, still in it's foetal state. And Sharon wasn't willing to accept it for what it was Not yet—“Thank you”Her eyes slowly darted back to the mirror, and she continued to adjust the band on her hairHe walked closer, so that could hear his breathing behind her, and feel the vibrations in his chest as he spoke “Leave it”“What?”He looked at her from the mirror.“I like your hair free”His hands moved to her head, and slowly, he loosened the bun she was trying so hard to achieve. He used his fingers to straighten them out, and paused for a moment to admire
