Chapter 26OctaviaThe day was going by quickly and I had to leave."Miss Octavia. Are you leaving?" Jace asked, walking up to me.I stood at the foot of the stairs."Yes, I am. I have to leave for a suit at Riverside and DL and then home." I replied..He nodded, glancing up the stairs and quickly walking away out of the house.I looked up the stairs to see Charlotte standing there with a smile on her face."He's avoiding me.""What did you do?" I asked. Jace was a nice guy and avoiding her meant she did something and with the smile on her face...I could tell she did something very dangerous."I did nothing Octavia. That guy needs cleansing." She replied, walking down."You're leaving.""I am." "Yeah, you have to....you know get back to taking pictures and smiling beautifully." I rolled my eyes."Those cameras? Do they affect you?""They once affected but now.. I've gotten use to it." I said."Well, goodbye sweetie and break a leg." She winked and ran away giggling.Jace would have
Chapter 27I heaved a deep breath as I walked into the Mansion and clicked the door locked."Hello! It's anyone home? It's your favorite girl!" I yelled, kicking my slippers out of my leg and walking to the living room.My eyes widened seeing the people at the living room.What were these people all doing here?"Hello?" I waved to get their attention and they turned to me and waved."Ma'am. Miss Mondragon." My assistant ran to my side."Hmm Clara? You didn't just ran up to me to say nothing, right?" I asked, as she kept silent even when I was staring at her."I'm so sorry Miss Mondragon. But there was something out about you on the tabloids with Mr Yuan and since Miss Sofia could not come to the office, she called us here to come and have the meeting here." She mumbled and I nodded.Not everyone in my company knew me or have seen my face before. There was a big gap about me being a CEO and a model.Only trusted workers who had been with us for many years knew me as the CEO and model.
Chapter 28I sighed as I pushed myself into the plush couch and sighed.The day was moving and I needed to cool off."That jerk came to the office this morning." Sofia said, and I turned to her.She was coming down the stairs, all dressed up and ready to leave."Where are you going?" I asked, and she rolled her eyes."Duh. I don't need to tell you and you don't need to know." She said, and i nodded shrugging."Who came today?" I asked."I thought you didn't go to the company." I said and she sighed."I did go to the company but then I came back and made food since you said you were coming back. I know there's no place like home and no food would taste better than home's food." Sofia said and I blew her a kiss.But little did she know that I ate the most delicious food yesterday.Bennett was such a good cook!"Williams came to the company and made a food out of himself. That man needs a reconstruction and I will make sure he gets it." Sofia said, already fuming."Williams came? And ask
Chapter 29I managed to force Williams to bring me home.The car stopped in front of the Mansion and I got out."I don't think we'll be seeing each other anytime soon Miss Stiles." He smirked, saving the file in front of me.Yeah! You fucker!"Even though you can cuss me all day, there's one thing that's clear and it's that I have this now with me." He said, waving it again."Will you come in? We'll be having a party today. There's a lot to eat and drink." I said and he stared at me before sighing and getting off the car.We both walked into the house and damn! We were right on time."Hey." I smiled at Sofia who was arranging the chickens on the plate."And what is the celebration for?" He asked."For coming back alive." I said, and he frowned."What actually happened to you?" He asked again.Well! You're hours late!"Nothing." I answered, not ready to talk about it all, seeing that more talking about it would bring more bad stain to Bennett's name.' Why are you trying so hard to cov
Chapter 30A week had passed and it was time for my shoot in Venice,Italy.I sighed, as I turned around to see Ryan rushing towards me with my bags."Hey.""Are you excited? You're going to be staying there for a while." He said and I chuckled."It's just a month.""And that's four weeks and fifty two days." He said and I chuckled."But I'll be back before the four weeks and fifty two days finishes." I said and he grinned.When we got to the point I was about to go to the plane, he kisses me good-bye as his phone chimed.I could have sworn to anyone that I did see Allison as the caller.A smile formed on his face and i coughed."What are you smiling about?""Go take your shoot." He glared at me and walked away, leaving me to stare at his back."Ma'am, it's time." The plane assistant said and I nodded, walking into the other section.I sighed.Few minutes later and the plane has already departed the soil of New York.I watched the cloud as my eyelid began to feel heavy and before i cou
Chapter 31I took another road, seeing the silhouette move faster as if not expecting me to follow him.I swear I could tell how Bennett looked like from the back and it was definitely him.I ran again, catching up to him but failed as he took another alley way where thousands of people were walking around.Why was he doing this to me? He knew it was me! He saw me!'What If it wasn't him?' My subconsciousness mumbled and I almost wanted to agree with her but stopped.There was no way that wasn't Bennett.It was definitely him! And Bennett was an Italian.Maybe he decided to come home and stay with family.I kept running forward, following him when I felt someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into a corner in the alley.I nearly freaked out, my eyes widening when I looked up and it dilated even more.Who was this person?"Why are you following me? Give me a good reason princepesa. Or I'll snap your neck into two. " He said, and I frowned. ( princess)Octavia tensed. This man!He looked.
Chapter 32We arrived at the place and trust me when I said this was more gigantic than Bennett's penthouse. It was more beautiful than any house I'd ever seen.Leave it to God, to make everything around Bennett so beautiful."Stay close to me and never leave my side...please." He added and I smiled.He was more polite than that jerk."Octavia?" I blinked at Charlotte who had that dolly face away.. making her look like a goddess.Whoever gave her the idea of putting that thing on.. would surely die screaming."Hey." I winked at her.She grabbed my arm and pulled me along with her as Benjamin walked faster as he went through the hallway."You're not suppose to be here." She whispered."Why?" I whispered back, before we rounding a huge pillar and walked to the living room.The living room was packed with men. Many men, at least twenty of them and there was a table in between them with lots of guns on top of it.What the heck?Why were they so many ammunitions?And when my eyes travelled
Chapter 33OctaviaI stilled as I heard the sounds of gunshots."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Bennett raked his hand through his hair and glared at me."What? I didn't bring them with me." I glared back at him and he let out a growl.A man walked to us and gave Bennett a bow."It's the Cornneli, I think they are here for the boy." He said, and Bennett nodded, muttering something in Italian before he turned to me and grabbed my arm."What?""Come with me. It's dangerous here. I think someone is moling on me." He said, and I rolled my eyes."It's not moling on you Bennett. The best sentence is 'i think there's a mole here.' I said, and he scoffed, grabbing me roughly again and I winced."Where are you taking me then?""For someone who might get likely shot to the head. You're not afraid I see." He said, and i shrugged."Why should I? When you're right here." I said, and he said nothing.He scoffed few minutes later as we pulled over to a very long hallway."Don't think for one second, I would hes
