RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love EIGHTY-FIVE
OLIVER "She is safe, but someone blew up the car outside the mall. Someone tried to kill us at the boutique." I felt like my body temperature dropped ten degrees. Someone blew up their car? My grip on the phone tightened and I felt my chest contrast. Jesus Christ, Ellen could have been in that car. What happened? Who did that? "She was not harmed, Oliver," Dante's voice brought me back. "Is she fine? Are you alright?" I asked huskily. Why was Dante calling me and not Ellen? Why was Ellen not speaking to me on the phone? "I am fine and Ellen is fine, except for a few bruises." "Can she talk to me?" I was already walking out of my office. Monica's voice was in the background, but I could not make out what she was saying. "She is still shocked from—" I hung up and half ran to the elevator. "Mr. Moreno, are you alright?" Monica asked me. I halted just before I got into the elevator. "I need to get to my wife right now, she was in an accident."

ELLEN "Where the hell are you?!" I heard Oliver's frantic voice over the phone. "Come to the back of the boutique," Dante said. Dante turned his back and typed into his phone, why Lily sat there with me, holding my hands tightly to calm me down. I was the one who was affected because I was closer to the car. Who on earth blew up that car? Who was doing this to me? My mind kept going to only one person. Tony. He must have recognized me. Of course, he knows I am the one. He must have seen Sophie. I was doomed. I shivered mostly because of him than because of the accident. I was done for. The door bursts open all of a sudden and Oliver came rushing in with Monica. For some reason, I did not like her, apart from the fact that I saw her kissing Oliver, I did not like the vibe she gave. But seeing Oliver made relief gush into me. He bent in front of me, placed his hands on my shoulders, and looked me in the eyes. "Where are you hurt?" he asked. His voice wa
RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love EIGHTY-SEVEN
OLIVER Alejandro and Jerry were already on it when we got home. Ellen had calmed down in the car before we arrived. It scared me because I expected her to be hysterical when we got home. Maybe I was making a mistake, maybe my father was right. She was my weak point and people are going to try to harm her now that they know how attached to her, I was. It was no other person than Antonio, and I will kill that bastard if he was the one. One thing had kept me from declaring war against Antonio. It was Ellen and Sophie. I did not want them involved in all of this. I wanted to separate them from this, I wanted to separate my personal life from this mafia. Once Ellen stepped into the mansion, she went straight to Sophie's room. Mrs. Jones was still there, seated beside Sophie. Sophie was not asleep yet. "Mommy! Daddy!" Sophie squealed when she saw us and jumped off the bed. Ellen spread her hands and Sophie ran inside. Ellen hugged her tightly and rubbed her back with
RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love EIGHTY-EIGHT
ELLEN Oliver came into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around me. I love his scent, and I inhaled deeply to absorb it into my system. He kissed my cheek and I giggled. Then he held me tighter to him. "Good morning, my love," he whispered in my ear. "Good morning, to you too." I turned to face him. I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast and packing Sophie's lunch box. I also wanted to pack a lunch box for Oliver. "You smell so nice," Oliver commented first. "No, you smell so nice." I just woke up from sleep and decided to make breakfast. I have not even had my bath or brushed my teeth, so why was he saying I smell nice? "I probably reek of onion and curry, you know, condiments," I said with a chuckle. "No, babe," Oliver buried his face between my breast and sniffed, wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed me to his body." "What are you doing?" I asked amidst chuckle. "I have smelled you thoroughly, and can't perceive any onion or s

ELLEN "Hi, Ellen. Long time no see," Tony said. I scooted back on the floor as Tony took a few steps toward me. My eyes darted behind him. How did he come in here? Where was Oliver and Sophie? They should still be in the compound. How come Oliver did not see him. "What are you doing here, Tony?" "I came to see you of course." "My husband was just outside...Mrs. Jones?" There was no answer from her. Tony scoffed and squinted his eyes at me. Then he reached into his pocket took out a pack of cigarette, took a stick, stuck it between his lips and lit it with the lighter. He sucked in and puffed out. "Your husband? The one that I forced you to get married to?" "Tony, what do you want from me?" "I gave you a simple task, yet you disappoint me." "Tony, you have to go now, please." I did not want this to get worse than it already was. "I could not do it. I could not kill the father of my child." "You should have thought about that b

TONY'S POV "Why is that bastard not dead yet?" I asked, drawing in smoke from my cigarette. Two scantily dressed women sat beside me, rubbing my chest and body. The men stood in front of me with their hands clutched behind them and their heads bowed. I knew it was Ellen with Oliver. I had seen Sophie in that house. That bitch looked innocent, but she worked underground and double-crossed me. How did she escape Moneros and travel out of this country? Now, she was back and is back together with Oliver. They are lovers now and I know she was his weakness. It is time to go for her. How dare she double-cross me and who was that woman that attacked me in the dressing room on that day I was supposed to stab Oliver at that dinner party? Ellen claimed innocence, but she have people working for her. She was playing Oliver and me. "He seems to have found out about our plans. But there is good news," one of men said. "What is that?" One of the whores palmed my manh
RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love NINETY-ONE
OLIVER I stepped out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped around my waist. My hair was wet and water cascaded down my chest. I ran my hand over my hair and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw Monica standing in my room. She wore a skimpy red night dress. I stopped by the door for a while. She was doing this on purpose. "What are you doing here?" I asked without smiling. "I told you never to come here without my permission, and why are you coming into my room dressed like this?" "You had called and I answered it." "Why would you answer my calls?" "I am your assistant and I was only doing my job." I was being so lenient with this woman and she was taking me for granted. I walked up to her and she stared at me as I walked up to her and grabbed her chin, pressing it so hard, so that it will hurt. "Now, listen. This will be the last time you will touch my stuff. I told you that I do not mix business with fucking pleasure. Do not try this again." "Oliver, I know you wan
RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love NINETY-TWO
ELLEN "Mommy!" Sophie squealed, coming to me in the kitchen." "Yes, my love." I smiled at her. She was so happy and bubbling with life that I wished I could be this happy too. "I want another teddy." I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Sophie must have heard or seen a schoolmate with a new teddy. Just as I opened my mouth to reply to her, the ping of my phone took my attention from me. I thought Oliver sent me an apology text or something. I will believe him, and he must promise to fire Monica after the trip. But what I saw on my screen almost paralyzed me, and I would have broken down if Sophie was not there looking cheerfully at me. I gripped the counter to steady myself. My eyes were still fixed on my screen, and tears blurred my vision. "Mommy, are you alright?" Sophie asked. I blinked, and the tears fell uncontrollably down my eyes before I nodded and managed a smile. I wiped my eyes, bent to Sophie, and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I am fine, baby. I just, I just.
