Hanan opened her eyes and realized that she wasn't in her hotel room. Her eyes went to the handsome figure lying close to her and suddenly widened her eyes when memories of last night's event came rushing back.
She quickly checked underneath her and cursed under her breath when she saw she was naked. She bite her lips slowly and sighed. Getting up from the bed she quickly put on her clothes on the floor, took her bag and her shoes in her hands and tiptoed close to the door.
She tried to open it and saw that it was locked
"And where do you think you are going to” David said, opening his eyes to look at her.
Hanan was shocked and stood rooted on the ground when she heard his voice. She didn't know he was not sleeping and cursed under her breath. " Well I.......I want to.......go back to the the hotel room….. so can you please open the door"
He yunned, got up from the bed and walked slowly close to her. Hanan couldn't help but to look at his hot body from head to toe, he was wearing just underwear with his upper body exposed, tall with blond hair, dark eyes, and seductive pink lips. He was like a Greek god and she couldn't help but drool.
"Like what you see?" He said smirking as he stood tall in front of her.
She immediately regained her senses and looked away from him. "No…. I don't like what I see, so can you please open the door so I can get out of here"
He moved closer to her, closing the gap between them. He was taller than her and had to bend a little to look her in the eyes. "But you were all over this body last night, screaming for me not to stop".
Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment and she averted her eyes before looking at him again and said"Well….hmmm...I was just drunk, I wasn't in my right senses, but looking at you now, nothing about you fascinates me".
"He furrowed his brow and before she could open her mouth to say anything else. He carried her up and walked towards the bed.
"Put me down! put me down!"
He threw her on the bed with a bang and jumped on top of her, preventing her body from moving.
Her heart beat fast against her chest, as she looked at the man on top of her.
"Repeat that a second time and I will make sure I ride you as hard as last night till you become sour down there all over again" He said with anger.
Hanan's mouth stayed wide open from what he said and she immediately hit his chest, which was as hard as a rock. "Get away from me you pervert!" She screamed as she hit his chest over and over again, which he wasn't even feelings.
"Only if you agree to be a good and obedient girl"
Uh", She said and scoffed. " I have a flight to catch up with, so get off so I can go to my hotel room and pack up my stuff!" She said trying to get off him, but she was pushed back on the bed.
David looked at her in anger and said "Do you really think that I will allow you to run away the way you did 10 years ago, huh?" He said, raising his voice a bit.
Hanan shivered in fear and wasn't able to look at him. She became distressed and lost in her thoughts.
David looked at her distressed face and immediately his anger disappeared and was replaced with something unreadable.
He raised her chin so she could look at him. "Hanan, look at me. I want to know what happened 10 years ago, first your attitude changed towards me and the next thing you disappeared with your family with no trace, and even went as far as changing your names. So I want to know what went wrong with you Hanan?". He said looking straight in her eyes, he noticed her body tensed and there was this kind of fear in her eyes. He couldn't understand it.
Hanan swallowed hard before mustering the courage to speak. " Well my dad wanted us to move to the US and started up a new life".
David raised his brow "Hanan do you think I'm some kind of fool, huh? Who the hell relocates to a different country and changes their names!!
Hanan flinched a little and couldn't say anything. She knew he wouldn't believe her lies, but she wasn't going to tell him the truth, there is no way she was going to tell him what happened ten years ago. "Well, why don't we just forget about that. Since I will be going back to the states anyway, you should move on from it.
"You are never going back to the States, Hanan!! Never!!"
"So you are going to lock me up here against my wish?
"If that is what it takes to make sure you never leave again, then so be it".
Hanan widened her eyes in shock " You are not serious right? Do you realize I have my own life to live, I'm a fashion designer, my life is in the US, my family is there…….I'm no longer Hanan Gomez, I'm Stephanie Quick!! The fashion designer!! Everybody knows me by that name David!!
David wanted to say something but groaned in frustration and roughed his hair. A knock came at the door and he stared at Hanan with a stern look, before getting off her and went to open the door.
Outside the door his assistant Carlos, stood nervous and shifted away from the door when he had it opening from inside. His boss David opened the door and stared at him angrily. He brought his head down so as not to meet eyes with his boss.
"Good morning boss, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you have 3 important meetings today, and the first one starts in an hour's time," Carlos said, starmering.
"Go down stairs and wait for me, I will be down in 20 mins"
"Okay boss" He wanted to say something else, but his boss shut the door on his face before he could say it. He sighed and went downstairs to wait. Carlos has been walking for David as his assistant since he took over the company from his father 5 years ago and working for him is the hardest and most difficult thing he has done in his life.
David was a cold hearted boss and very ruthless, he hated mistakes, always punishing anyone that makes a mistake but rewards his workers when they do a good job. The Salvatore group of companies grew much bigger since he took over 5 years ago.
Back in the room Hanan sat down in the bed lost in her thoughts, she was already out of her shoes and was holding her bag. She sighed and got up, only to see David standing 2 feets away looking at her calmly.
"I'm going to overlook the fact that you left your family without a trace 10 years ago. But now that I found you, I won't let you leave again.
" You can't keep me here if I don't want to stay David"
" You have two options. First you can agree to stay here in Italy, which includes bringing your business here and rent a place to leave on your own. Secondly, if you refuse to freely do that on your own I will have no other choice but to take you to my house and keep you there, so choose wisely"
At this point, Hanan felt like crying, she didn't have to step her foot again in Italy. For her and her family's safety, she can not be in Italy. Now what should she do?
“I have to prepare for work, while I am gone you have to think carefully of the choice you want to make” David said to her and then left the hotel room.Hanan ran both her hands in her hair in frustration, what was she going to do now.David has been looking for her all these years so that explains how he was able to know she came to Italy. She thought maybe he was going to move on from her after she left with her family 10 years ago but it seems that isn’t the case because he never forgot her.He will never stop asking her the reason why she had left with her family and she will never be able to tell him the reason.She picked up her bag and looked for her phone inside but couldn’t find it. She turned the bag upside down offloading everything inside the bag, checked every single thing inside but couldn’t find her phone.Why can’t I find my phone” she murmured to herself. She tried to think back to last night if she had misplaced it but developed an headache.She placed her hand on he
Tension filled the room, nobody could breathe properly until this meeting ends.Even the executive speaking could feel his own voice shaken and hands trembling. And that’s the same for every other company executive sitting down at the meeting.As he spoke he occasionally glanced towards the CEO who bared a deep frown on his face. He is afraid that whatever he is saying, that the CEO wasn’t pleased with it.David has a terrible mood, that although he was paying attention to what was being said, his mind was still on Hanan. He is angry for two reasons. First, he is angry as to why she ran away with her family. Secondly, he is angry as to why she is so determined to leave, there is something she is not telling him and he is going to find out what that is."Mr Salvatore" The executive who was given a presentation called him “Do you want us to implement this?”David stared coldly at him and the executive shivered.Other executives looked towards David as they waited for his response.“Mak
She thought she could successfully escape from the building and head to the airport to meet her crew, but unfortunately for her, the moment she stepped out of the secret elevator, David was already standing outside of it waiting for her with a devil like look on his face like he was going to bring an end to her at that moment.Now she was sitting across him on a single couch with her hands crossed in her chest as she fixed her gaze on the ceiling.Although she isn’t looking at David, but she could feel his sharp gaze on her.When she recalled how devilish his eyes looked earlier, she is sure that right now he is staring at her with same murdurous look on his face.There was complete silence in the living room as none of them has spoken a word.Before they came up to the penthouse he had made her call her crew members to tell them she was going to return to the United States on a later date and that they could leave on their own. David had sent his body guard to go collect her things f
WELCOME TO TODAYS LIVE INTERVIEW WITH YOUR LOS ANGELES FASHION HOST, MORGAN MONROE!!.The host said and the audience cheered.“Y’all won’t believe who we are going to be having on stage today, even I can’t still believe that we are going to be interviewing none other than thee….” Mergan paused as she tried to pique the interest of the audience including those who might be watching out home.Those in the audience held their breath as they waited to see which fashion icon would be coming on stage today.Booze is Los Angeles’ number one fashion media house, so they know that anyone coming here today is a fashion icon, designer, etc.After looking at the crowd the host spoke “Y’all know that every Tuesdays, Booze fashion media houses host some of the most popular fashion icons,designers, fashion models, etc. But today, we are not just going to be interviewing a fashion icon, nor are we just going to be interviewing a fashion designer, today we are going to be doing an unveiling!!”“Believ
After doing the interview, she has been getting lots of calls from people who might be fans and admirers. When the car drove in the direction of her penthouse, she was shocked to see the kind of crowd that was there. The crowd included reporters who wanted to get their own exclusive interview and fans who wanted to see her face up close. Hanan turned to her assistant who was sitting close to her in the car. “How did they know my address?” “I don’t know Miss Quick, I’m even as surprised as you are. “Get into the underground carriage” she said to the bodyguard driving. The car immediately drove into the underground carriage and they could see the reporters trying to get inside the carriage but the security men stopped them from getting in. The security men closed the carriage so know fan or reporter would get in. The bodyguards opened the door for her and she stepped out from it, even if there was know report or fans on site the bodyguards still shielded her. As they headed to t
The following morning, Hanan dressed up and left the penthouse to her fashion house.She had a meeting with all her workers and in the meeting she will be informing them of her plans to move to Italy and starting up a branch there.As usual, when she got close to her fashion house, there were reporters and fans waiting for her there.She has been receiving non-stop messages and calls from media houses requesting to have an exclusive interview with her. Even her assistant has also been receiving calls.She has been ignoring all calls and have told her assistant to do same.Her car drove into the underground carriage of her fashion house, preventing the reporters from seeing her.With the bodyguards following her closely, she took the elevator to the 11th floor were the meeting room was located.She already informed them of the emergency meeting, so everyone must be waiting for her to arrive.The moment she stepped into the meeting room everyone got up to show respect.Some of her desig
The last time she visited her parents was six months ago. She has been so busy with work that she hasn't had time to come see them.She didn’t plan to visit them by this time but she had to do so, since they needed to be informed about her plans of relocating.But how is she going to explain to them that she was not just going to Italy but that David had found her.It was a mistake on her part, she shouldn’t have gone to Italy with her crew but the situation there needed her presence so she did.She sat on one of the couches in the living room, facing both of her parents who had a scared and horrible look on their faces after she told them she was relocating to Italy. Hanan came from a middle class family, she grew up having most things not everything. Hee parents house was a duplex with 5 bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room with a swimming pool and was situated in a good and secured location.The purpose of CCTV was for safety reasons.She didn’t expect to meet her both of the
After she was done speaking with her parents, she went to her room to freshen up when she received a text from Arya telling her that she would not be able to make it to St Augustine, that she has an urgent interview to go to and is also booked for the weekend.Arya: “But keep in mind that we are going to be having that conversation soon, when am free”Hanan: “Fine then, take care”Arya didn’t send a reply so she dropped her phone and went about her business.She spent the weekend with her parentsDuring the time she spent with them, she always saw the worried look on their faces.There was a time at night she came down stairs to go take water from the kitchen and saw her dad’s study room light on.She could see the shadow of two persons inside and knew that would be her dad and her mom. They were having a conversation.When she checked the time and saw that it was 12 at midnight, she was surprised. Why would both of them be having a conversation at this time of the knight? What were t
