Therein, Jeannette put on a mischievous grin playing on her lips as she walked towards Lorenzo's table. Her slow footsteps reverberated through the office room, making her way straight to his table, her intentions clear and vivid. Lorenzo was still staring darkly at her, his expression morphing into one of wrath upon seeing Jeannette's presence which looks irritating. Angrily he clenched his jaw tightly, yet pursued to maintain his control over his emotions."What are you doing here?" he snarled at her, his voice trickling with restrained outrage.Jeannette, undeterred by Lorenzo's animosity, leaned against his desk, her eyes locked onto him. She blink her eyelashes playfully, an indication of seduction in her voice as she replied, "Oh, Lorenzo, don't be so cold to me. I'm here to make you feel good, okay, and to please you if give me a chance."“What?” Lorenzo's raised his brows at her, his nostrils flared with ire, but Jeanette smiled. Lorenzo sighed as he controlled himself, sp
“What do you mean Lorenzo?” Tinsely asked him through teary eyes, and when he tried to touch her, she moved backward. Right now, their relationship hanging in the balance and the tension between them was discernible, and Lorenzo knew he had to say something. Taking a deep breath, he said to her with a heavy heart. “I... I didn't mean it that way... "Lorenzo," Tinsely's voice cracked, it was already trembling as she asked him. "What do you mean by taking a break? Are you... rejecting me? Are you breaking up things with me? Lorenzo's eyes dimmed with concern as he saw the tears welling up in Tinsely's eyes, and he felt bad for hurting her feelings. He urgently replied to her, "No, Tinsley, that's not what I meant at all, okay? I didn't express myself properly, and I'm sorry if I hurt you."“Then what do you mean?!” Tinsely shouted at her him as her heart ached, she was struggling to understand his words. She felt a mix of emotions right now; confusion, sadness, and a deep fear of
It was morning, and Lucinda gradually opened her eyes, and immediately the morning sunlight streaming through the curtains and casting a warm glow on the room hit her face. Blinking her eyes as the remnants of sleep slipped away from her, her gaze shifted to the figure lying next to her. Xavier. “What!” A mutter slipped out of her lips, and her heart skipped a tornado of beats as her mind strumbled to process the scene before her. Xavier lay there, next to her, his bare skin glistening in the soft glow of the sun, a placid expression on his face. “No, no, no, no,” she tensed up, a jolt of panic run through her body as she realized what had happened between the previous night.She has made him bed with her, she was the one who made the first move... Gasping aloud, Lucinda's memories flooded back, and her cheeks redden with embarrassment.

*STAR-BUCKS CAFE* The quaint café buzzed with the gentle hum of chats of the people, clattering cutlery, chaperoned by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee looming through the air. The pale ray of the morning sun jetted through the windows, radiating amiable rays onto the patrons dispersed across the comfortable space.In a confidential niche closer to the window, Lorenzo was sitting with his barren eyes looking at the passing pedestrians outside. Seated opposite him him was Lucinda who reluctantly joined him, her expression was mirroring a mixture of discomfort and resentment. She despised Lorenzo so much, and the fact that he, her rapist, was now mated to her own sister only stepped up her contempt for him.Lorenzo turned his head to Lucinda, intently breaking the uneasy silence. "Lucinda, I wanted to talk to you about what happened all those years ago," he said, his voice filled with a mix of tension and genuine curiosity.Lucinda's eyes narrowed, and she let out a bitter chuckle
*THE CITY–HOSPITAL* As soon as Tems called Lorenzo, and told him about Tinsely’s condition, he had to rush to the hospital and Lucinda said she’d follow him. Lorenzo did the driving, and when they arrived, they both hurriedly got down and burst through the hospital doors, their hearts racing with worry. Immediately they scampered into the brightly lit halls of the hospital, the curious gazes of nurses, doctors, and patients pursued their every move. The air was heavy with tension as if the very walls of the hospital were holding their breath, Lorenzo and Lucinda's instantaneous footsteps resounded throughout the corridor, a symphony of urgency and concern. Lorenzo's mind was filled with a flurry of thoughts, each more hysterical than the last. What could have happened? Why was Tinsley in the hospital? Immediately they neared the entrance to the ward, Lorenzo could see his brother, Tems, pacing the corridors."Tems!" Lorenzo called out, his voice sufficed with intensity and conce
Honey and Tems lay entangled in the soft embrace of the bed, their breaths mingling in the air. The room was dimly lit, radiating flickering shadows across their entangled bodies. After their passionate make-out session, Tems's voice cracked the silence, his voice filled with curiosity."Why are you here, Honey?" he asked, his voice deep and tinged with a hint of uncertainty. He was peering into her eyes, digging through for answers.Honey hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on a distant point at the wall. Hence, she took a deep breath, steeling herself for the truth she was about to share with him. "Well, I came here for revenge," she eventually revealed, her voice barely above a murmur.Tems's eyebrows furrowed, his surprise was very apparent. "Revenge? But if I may ask... on whom?" Tems raised a question, his voice laced with a mix of perplexity.Honey's eyes met his, blinking with a fire fueled by a painful memory. "Alpha David," she spoke, her voice quivering with a mix of
Just as Lucinda veered around and walked to the door and she opened it, her heart skipped tornados of beats when she came face to face with Xavier. “Xavier?” She gasped shockingly, her eyes widened in surprise and a tide of embarrassment flooded her. Lucinda instinctively struggled to compose herself as she was fighting to suppress the madness that threatened to consume her.“What... What are you doing here?" She was trying to steady her voice, and thinking back to how they had one night together, her cheeks flushed. On the other hand, Xavier's eyes enlarged in concern as he took in Lucinda's messy and disheveled appearance even the wild look in her eyes. He moved away from the door, trying to reach out to hold her, his voice mixed with worry. "Lucinda, are... are you alright? Y-you don't seem like yourself."Lucinda's body quivered uncontrollably, and a ripple of desperation overwhelmed her. "I... I need a cigarette, Xavier," she begged, her voice cracking with desperation. "Ple
*THE-CITY* Tinsley was sitting in the backseat of the taxi, and her eyes were fixed on the passing cars and the bustling city beyond. The familiar streets buzzed by in a blur as the taxi drove ahead. However, her mind was far from the sights and sounds around her. She couldn't shake the feeling of immense longing for Lorenzo. Yes, the decision she took had been difficult, but deep down, she knew it was the right thing to do.Just as the taxi pulled up the apartment building, Tinsely immediately snapped out of her trance. In a slow manner, she passed the driver some cash, then thanked him softly before stepping out of his taxi. Gathering her luggage, she bucked up her head at the familiar facade of the apartment. The sky cast a soft golden glimmer, but there was an unusual silence in the air.Tinsley was hesitating for a moment before stepping through the open door, she wondered how Lucinda and Rosalie would react when they sees her... However, the silence she met inside the hous
