.... (Narrator)
"What are you doing here?"A plan hatched by his mother, Raffaele had earlier received a call to meet a supposedly business partner it was "important" so they claimed until he arrived to see his mother smiling from ear to ear, of course, he was suspicious of her but she had assured him, she was there to do the same business he was here forShe suggested they go meet the man in a room because he cants afford to be seen, Raffaele found it ridiculous and unethical but decided to see where this was going, a very bad decision, walking himself into her plan, she had offered him a drink and although smelling something fishy, you wouldn't reject to take food or wine from your own mother, she had excused herself immediately they entered the room and that is when it started...Something was wrong, he has been drugged, and as he struggled to wave off the dizziness, somebody ran into the room and immediately shut the door behind, so this was his mother's plan to force Aliya down his throat, he hissed in anger ready to throw her out immediately before the drug take effect but was left speechless when she turned around shivering in fear, "Miss Auclair?" he questioned unsure of who he was seeing, has the drug taken effect alreadyIt was really her, she was sweating hastily, her deep black hair sticking to her face because of the sweat, her hands shaking in fear as she kept looking behind even though she had shut the door herself,"What are you doing here?" he asked her bringing her attention to him, she froze as if caught red-handed, her eyes almost popping,"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me now?" he asked confused and enraged at the same time"Save me" she suddenly said throwing him off, as she finally began to approach him "Please save me!" she cried, her body trembling"What is going on?" his voice calm as he struggled to keep standing on his feet with her holding onto him"Ahhh this is so funny" she suddenly said with a smile looking at him while he raised his brow in confusion"What's this, am seeing things again, what is Mr kill fun CEO doing here," she said pointing at him and smiling" you must be drunk," he said in frustration as he struggled to keep his thoughts focused as he tried to search for his phone"He moved!" she suddenly shouted making him pause on his track, she dragged herself to him, holding his chin with her two hands "Omg" she grasped with her hands covering her mouth pretending to be shocked "I just touched him" she added"Ahh, I'm losing my patients," he said looking at her in disbelief"Hmmm," she said inhaling deeply before she licked her lips,"Don't do that, don't " he said but she was far gone to listen"I feel hot," she said holding him and closing the distance between them while he swallowed hard, she unknowingly pressed her body to his, he hissed closing his eyes to suppress whatever was raising in him, even with his high tolerance, the drug seems to be super effective, he tried to push her away but she didn't budge, she didn't break eye contact either, staring into his soul"Something is wrong with my body," she said.As she held onto his arm, her body began to feel different. A strange warmth started to spread from her chest, down to her stomach, and between her legs. She couldn't quite explain it, but it felt like an intense desire building up inside her.She tried to shake off the feeling, but it only grew stronger. His scent, his confused stare, and even the sound of his breathing started to excite her in ways she had never felt before. She couldn't control her racing heartbeat or the way her body was reacting to him.Unbeknownst to her, the drug in the drink she had taken earlier was slowly taking effect. It had heightened her senses and unleashed her sexual desires, leaving her helpless to its effects. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her or why she was feeling this way.He swallowed hard again trying his possible best to turn off whatever was going on with him as well, he turned to face her, their eyes locked, and he leaned in closer almost giving up. Her body quivered with anticipation as their lips almost met. She couldn't resist the urge to wrap her arms around him, pulling him closer to her.An overwhelming urge to explore every inch of his body took over her, She wanted to feel his skin against hers, taste his lips, and lose herself in the moment. Her mind was clouded with desire, and she couldn't think of anything else.Despite her confusion, she couldn't deny the flames of lust her body was exuding. It was as if her body had a mind of its own, and all it wanted was to be consumed by this man. She held onto him tightly, reaching to kiss him, to him he was fighting demons, he never felt this way, he has always been proud of his ability to overcome situations like this, but now he is defenseless not even making a move,"This was your plan all along," he said as he finally reached for her waist pulling her close to him but then his nose caught a scent of something familiar, it was so familiar because that was the same scent in the drink he took, he let go of her waist immediately taking steps back, for the first time in a while his heart quickened,"You are drugged," he said she was too far gone as her eyes has completely been covered by lustful desire, she got a hold of him again wrapping her hands around him"You want me?" he asked her in a low voice while knowing that his desires might be greatly affected by her answer, he laid her on the bed where she giggled, thankfully his phone was right there, immediately he phoned his security to get him an antidote...(Rosa's Pov)I woke up feeling disoriented, groggy, and confused, everything around me feels hazy, and my head pounding. Trying to sit up a hassle, my body feels heavy as if I'm moving in slow and circular motion. Slowly I rub my eyes and try to focus on my surrounding.As my vision cleared, I notice that I'm in a strange room, and I don't recognize anything around me, The walls were painted grey, this definitely wasn't the room I was forcing myself to grow familiar with, this isn't Demetria's room.I try to stand up and move around but my legs buckle beneath me, and I end up collapsing back on the bed, I begin to panic as I realized that something is wrong, "Hello!" I tried to raise my voice but it came out as a weak croak.That's when the realization set in, Weak voice, dizziness, disorientation, and a particularly familiar scent, I was drugged.A sense of dread began to Envelope me, creeping into my body and soul, who did this to me? Why? My mind races as I try to remember the event leading to this moment but my memory is hazy and fragmented.As the effects begin to wear off, I start to regain some control over my body, I try to get up again, this time with more success, and stumble towards the door, I need to get out of here.But as I reach the doorknob I felt a sense of presence in the room with me, my heart took a race as I freeze on the spot holding my breath as well, could this have been the person who drugged me, oh I am doomed.Only now did I realize how vulnerable and powerless I am, the realization hit me like a ton of bricks, and I felt a sense of helplessness wash over me, I have no idea how I got here or what's going to happen to me but I need to get out of here fast."Good thing your first thought was flight," the voice said, the familiarity of the voice made me swing around to see him, Raffaele sitting down in an armchair fully dressed in a black tuxedo with a mug in his hand."Raffaele?" I called his name in disbelief,"Oh, you remembered my name," he said nodding his head"What the fuck!" I let go of my voice "What did you do to..." I paused remembering a piece of the previous day"What is going on here?" I rephrased my question,"Trust me I have the same question if not more," he said suddenly getting up from his chair and begin to approach me,"What?" I asked defensively moving backward from him"Who were you running away from yesterday?" he said leaning into my face, stunned I answered immediately"I don't know""You don't know?" he asked with a raised brow"Wait" the word left my mouth as my head begins to spin, a series of memory"Fuck!" I let out in frustration clutching my hair, Amber had me completely fooled, I thought I was being careful,"Do you remember now, is this who you were running from?" he asked again showing me a picture, I immediately grasped on seeing the picture, it was a picture from yesterday, the man was completely blurred while my face was on it with the headings as"Actress Demetria at it again, with another man" My heart dropped as I look to meet the emotionless CEO in front of me"You invaded my personal space last night, drugged" He paused while I listened with my heart beating fast, what happened after I invaded his space, did I?... Did we? My heart raced with uncertainty, a lot of missing puzzles in my head, but slowly the puzzles were beginning to fix themselves"You don't remember what you did last night?" he asked me, his expression vexed"The person in the picture is Carson, he was the person chasing me," I said since I couldn't think of anything I could have done"What?" he asked me his brows raised then his lips slowly curled into a smirk"What you do not believe me?" I asked getting agitated "Because I used to be obsessed with you, you can't believe me""Used to?" he asked with a vexed expression and a slightly raised voice while I took steps back from him."Do you have an idea what could have happened yesterday, do you..." he paused, his Addam's apple going up and down his throat, for some reason, he appeared even more attractive in his railed-up expression, what the actual f... Why am I checking him out right now, this isn't the time for that, I could feel my cheeks hitting up,I was fully dressed in the same outfit which was a good start,"I feel hot" the words resounded in my head as I grasped looking up to meet his face, I said that to him, I threw my whole body at him, I held my head as it feels like it would spill open from the many information pouring in at once"Oh my goodness!" I gasped again remembering how I almost kissed him while he stared at me with an irritated expression"Somebody is out to get you," he said showing me the articles on his phon,e and once again my jaw dropped......(Demetria)It's been Three weeks since I moved and changed my number. Slowly I have adjusted to a new routine. Emilia refused to leave even when I threatened not to pay her, she stuck around me. I have since resigned and went on an indefinite hiatus. I still think about him but it doesn't matter. Does it?I have refused to go online and no one is allowed to talk about what is happening online near me.Since Kiera suddenly went missing the investigation went on hold. It seems like my life is on hold. It's been peaceful and I know with time I will overcome the constant thought of him.The only persons with my new number are Steven who has since traveled out of the country, he really was serious about not going back to the industry and was only here because of me.Emilia who is with me and my mother whom I called out of frustration. Today I have decided I was going to go see them. By them, I mean my family.No matter how I thought about it, I can't continue to not meet them.I booke
"How many month's break are you taking?" he asked while I folded my hands and looked down."You don't know?" he asked while I remained quiet till my phone began to ring. It was Emilia."We are on our way, and I forgot to let you know the villa is an almost eight-hour journey," she said as I nodded.I just need to put the location and drive, I have made up my mind to leave this city behind now that I am still strong, I feel nothing but anger for some reason, and feeling it into getting things done is better."What did she say?" Steven asked."It's an eight-hour journey," I said while he nodded."I will drop you off and then go," I said while he smiled "I will drive you," he said going ahead to the driver's side while I just rolled my eyes. Men are their need to lead. "I don't think you have had anything today," he said while I just frowned."I know how this your appetite is, I hope you start eating well from now on," he said while I turned to look at him, for some reason he seemed to
The ride went quiet as I drove out of the hospital my blood boiling for some reason, rather than curling myself up I felt energized.Looked like I was preparing myself all this while for this. Or does this have anything to do with me suddenly seeing Rosa?The ride was eerily silent and I was thankful for it, different emotions going through my mind and beneath it all was an unexpected surge of anger.Felt like I was building a war against myself. I was suppressing a certain emotion within me and that was anger, I am angry at everything. So many things were upsetting me the more I thought about it but I was driving and was not alone so I repeatedly breathed in and calmed my nerves as I drove straight to my apartment.And surprisingly but very much expectedly they were media houses packed around. I wonder just how bored and jobless they have to be to be camping near my apartment complex."You can't continue driving towards them," Steven said "They don't recognize this car," I said driv
..."Is there proof of this engagement you speak of sir?" I finally mustered enough courage to ask."So you are saying that am lying," his father said with a smirk plastered on his face."I don't know what you think of me, sir, am not just the woman your son sleeps with," I said confidently looking at him not avoiding his gaze anymore. "It's a relationship, courtship in other words," I added, the look on his face signified he was taken aback while his mother on the other hand had the look of an angry bird."If there is proof of me being the other woman then I would quietly withdraw," I said while his mother scoffed."What is this? Acting all dignified," she said."What is your issue with me ma'am, "I tried to sound as respectful as possible."People like you paint bad names for women around the world, you continue to do stereotypically what Actresses are known for, two-timing and going after rich men just to claim the social laser," she blasted me."People like me, you say?" I repeat
Georgiana, ever the gracious host, insisted on helping me prepare for the meeting with Raffaele's father. I hadn't brought any clothes with me, so she guided me to her room, where I could borrow something appropriate.Her room was elegant and well-organized, reflecting her refined taste. She opened her closet and started selecting a few outfit options for me. "Let's see," she murmured thoughtfully. "Something professional, yet not too formal."I watched her with gratitude as she chose a tasteful blouse and a pair of tailored slacks. "These should work nicely," she said, handing them to me."Thank you so much, Georgiana," I replied, feeling a sense of relief that she was there to help me in this unexpected situation.She offered me a comforting smile. "It's no trouble at all, dear. We women have to look out for each other, especially in times like these."I quickly changed into the outfit she had picked out, and she even offered some accessories to complete the look. As I looked at mys
(Demetria's pov)In the midst of our heartfelt conversation, Raffaele's phone suddenly rang, jolting us both from our intense emotional exchange. He frowned, his brows furrowing as he reached for his phone, glancing at the caller ID."I'm sorry, Deme, I have to take this call," he said apologetically as he answered the phone and moved a few steps away to speak privately.I nodded, my heart heavy with the abrupt interruption. It was clear that whatever had prompted the call was important. As I watched him talk on the phone, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Our conversation about his family and the challenges we might face together had left me emotionally vulnerable, and this unexpected interruption only added to my uncertainty.Raffaele's voice remained composed as he spoke, but I could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his expression shifted from concern to seriousness. It was evident that something significant was unfolding on the other end of the call.Minutes pas
