Victoria was staring at the clutches beside her. She had called Valerie several times and had even taken the risk to go to her apartment but she wasn't around. Valerie was never there when she needed her the most, she was either working or going around partying and chasing after Lucio. Tears brimmed down Victoria's cheeks, there was nothing else she could do except turn to the last person she would want to see. The doorbell rings and she gets up striding towards the door and yanks it wide open exposing her mother Patricia.Before Victoria could say another word, Patricia Carnegie landed a hard slap on her cheek. "I told your father not to let you move out of the house, I know this would happen""I fell""Well you certainly fell wrongly and at the wrong time. How stupid can you Victoria? I thought you were better and smarter than your sister" Patricia was now inside the house, she slammed the door."It wouldn't happen again, forgive me mother""Forgive you? You're stupid and clumsy! Do
"Get this files for me and I need another cup of coffee"Lisa at the coffee she just brought for him a moment. "What's wrong with this one?""It's already cold. You know I hate cold coffee"Lisa scoffed. She was clearly angry but she had to hold it in. That was what he said a while ago when she served another coffee to him, now he is saying it again. That was annoying. He was punishing for what she did but this has got to stop. This was also his fault, if he didn't decide to sign a deal with Ms. Wang then she wouldn't have gone on that date with Mike. She went on that date to hurt him back for what he did to her. Lisa couldn't fathom why she had this sudden urge for revenge."That was what you said a while ago"Lucio lifts up his eyes from the documents he was going through. "Are you questioning my authority?""No Mr. Delevonte, I am asking why you let the coffee get cold and then send me to get another one. Are you doing this to piss me off or is this your revenge?""Stop complainin
Valerie barged into the private room where Victoria was staying. After getting off from Delevonte corporation, she had gotten a call from Alex that her sister was in his hospital. She came rushing down to the hospital, Valerie hated herself for missing her sisters calls and not returning any back."Victoria" Her eyes widened seeing Victoria lying on the bed, her ankle still swollen. Thankfully, her mother had tried to keep the media out of this so no reporter was crowding outside the hospital. She strides towards her and engulfed her but Victoria pushed her away. This was all her sister's fault. She called her that night and went to her apartment so she could hide from her mother Patricia but Valerie had gone looking for David and didn't pick her calls. She left her a lot of voicemails but she hasn't even listened to anyone. David had preoccupied her that night and she had lost herself while in his arms. Valerie's eyes widened, her sister was rejecting her again like she did when s
Tears brimmed Victoria's cheek but she quickly wiped her cheeks. Patricia was going to kill her for what she had done."Okay, that's enough!" Alex was livid. His cousin was heartless. Clearly it was obvious that Patricia was going to hurt her."The both of you should leave or I will call security""I am not leaving here without my daughter""I don't want to go with you mother, I'm in pain" Victoria was weeping bitterly.She was terrified of what her mother would do to her now she found out she was still chasing after Angelo after she had sworn she wouldn't go close to the Delevonte brothers."What are you saying? I am your brother, I will never hurt you my dear" Patricia was putting on an act in front of everyone and she hoped Angelo wasn't falling for her mother's schemes."I think you should leave now or I swear I will call security and have you thrown out""You have no right to do that, she is my daughter""She is my patient and I will protect her" Alex was hell bent on protecting
Anger simmered through Valerie and he landed a slap against his face. David chuckled, running his hand through his hair. "You are a bastard""What are you doing here then? You should leave. Maybe I should listen to her and forget about you so you can be with your Lucio or whatever man you want to be with, besides, that's what Lucio wanted all along"Valerie pushed him, she landed another slap on his face. "Get out!""You are out of your mind, this is my house. You should leave if you don't want to stay"David steps aside waiting for her to leave but she doesn't make a move. He tried to walk away when she quickly held his arms. Valerie kissed him and he pushed her back, staring into her eyes. He couldn't resist this woman no matter how many times he has tried to forget about her.He gently wraps his hand around her neck and captures her lips once again. Valerie tries to fling her arms around his neck but he holds her arms, pinning it against the wall. "What do you want?" He was tryin
Lisa was on a call when Ms. Wang walked towards her desk. She wasn't pleased to see Lisa. She had thought Lucio fired her as she had requested. Closing up on her, she cleared her throat."Lisa, is it?"Lisa didn't need to lift her face to know to put a name to that familiar voice. The tiny voice only belonged to one annoying woman and that's Ms. Elliott Wang."Alright sir, I will inform Mr. Delevonte" she hangs upMs. Wang scoffed. She couldn't believe Lisa would still be talking on the phone and not hang up at first glance."Didn't Lucio Inform you that we had a meeting?"Lisa glanced at the clock, the meeting was over an hour ago."That's an hour ago. Mr. Delevonte is not on seat""Oh really?" She glanced at her wrist watch. "Didn't you inform him we had a meeting""I'm sure Mr. Delevonte waited for you but you never showed up""I had to go to the salon"Lisa looked at the woman, she was better at spending and living an extravagant life than taking care of her father's company. She
"You have to fire that woman!" Ms Wang was fuming in Lucio's office. She wanted revenge against Valerie and she could only take it out on Lisa. She was on lower status and someone she could trample upon."You are still not making sense, what exactly did you say Lisa did?" Lucio has been watching the slim woman pacing around his office like a crazy fellow."What exactly is it you don't understand?""Everything. You've only been rambling""What? Rambling!""You better tell me what you came for or you leave, I have a lot of work to do""Lisa threw water at me. Look at me, I'm drenched and stinking"Lucio arched up his brow at her. He was aware Lisa resented Ms. Wang for what she did to her but she would not dare throw water at her. Lisa wouldn't jeopardize the image of the company. He studies the line on her face every crease that she was lying and there it was. The pretentious snake was lying."So you claim Lisa threw water at you right?""Yes""Who saw you?""A lot of people""Can you
"We need to talk""We don't have anything to talk about, you already made that obvious this morning"David takes slow steps towards Valerie, her eyes not parting away from him."I'm serious Val""So is Val and not Valerie. You are hilarious, David""I'm sorry, I over reacted""You overreacted, I told you that she was lying but you didn't believe me. She wants you and you know it!" Valerie was furious.Now she was aware that Lisa isn't her problem, it's Ms. Wang. She wants what was hers and that is never going to happen. Valerie was not going to give David up to any woman. He was hers alone and no one was going to take him away."She doesn't want me""So now I'm Lying""That's not what I'm saying"She averts his gaze and picks up her mobile phone. "I have a meeting right now, maybe you should leave. I'm sure your little Mistress is dying to be in your arms right now"David runs his hand through his hair, taking slow steps closer to him. "Tell you what, why don't we have lunch""I'm no
