"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
"A lot of things Valerie. I know he wants the best for me but you are not going to hurt me are you" David was scared. He hasn't met Jason Brown but he felt so inferior towards him. He hated that he was the ordinary one who had nothing to his name but he had no idea, Jason had nothing to his name as well. The man was just an ordinary boy when Valerie was in a relationship with him."I would never hurt you. I love you David, have never said those words to anyone not even Lucio" Valerie may have chased Lucio Delevonte around but never did she say those magic words to him. It was David and no one else. "Sometimes I feel Lucio loves Jason more than he loves me. He wants him to be with you and not me""That's not going to happen, Jason's gone and if he is to come back, I will never return to you""He loves you," David admits. That was What Lucio told him. Whenever Lucio talked about his friend Jason, he described him with strong words and made the love sound so dreamingly. The kind of lov
Angelo entered his office as they broke away from each other. Lisa was ashamed to be caught by Angelo Delevonte. She wanted nothing but the ground to open and swallow her up. That would make things a lot easier for her. "I see you are busy" Angelo smirked."I was just leaving" Lisa scurries out of the office shutting the door before Lucio could say something else."You and Lisa" Angelo was surprised. His brother has always been the one who condemns office romance now he was doing the same thing he swore never to do."She is different from your Clarissa""She is not my Clarissa but Clarissa""So you and Clarissa""I need her, Lucio," Angelo said. Clarissa was good at her job but it wasn't just her job, she was equally good at other things. "I know you need her but does she need you?""That woman is in love with me" Even though Clarissa has not said a word about her feelings to Angelo. He saw right through her. She was in love with him but he just wasn't in love with her. He only ne
David entered into the office. He smiled seeing the two Delevonte brothers, is been awhile he saw them together especially Angelo. Lucio, he can see at any time but Angelo, he was like an American visa."What is that you want?" He asked again and Angelo smiled back at him."David" They two shook hands together while engaging in some brotherly embrace. "How long has it been?""A month or so, last I saw you was during the games and–""Saturday night game. We should do that again""Why don't Lucio host it" David said. "I hosted the last one""My house is full, Lisa is staying with me. You know that""What about you Angelo?" Lucio asked"Is not possible, you know Henry's over dia. I don't want him getting the wrong Idea""You can send him over to mom""Not happening, my son would rather go there willingly than be pressured to go anywhere"Henry hated going over to Margaret's place when he didn't want to go. He loved staying in his father's house and watching play them ping pong with Lucio
Lisa was cooking in the kitchen when Lucio returned. He had stayed up late in the office even after Angelo left. His conversation with David and Angelo got him thinking about Jason. There are times his friend was weird but that was Jason, he had a lot of things going through his mind.His friend has to think about his problem, his family and the children in his small town so he couldn't think of him as the bad guy. It was Valerie, this was all her. She was the only one to blame for their failed relationship and his friend's disappearance. That was what he told himself to get himself out of bed and move towards his door so he could leave and come home to Lisa but that didn't stop him from thinking about Lucio from wondering what happened to their relationship. He never saw Valerie with scars but she had no need for money. Her father gave her an allowance that was enough and she could shop with his card. But why was she asking for money?"You are home late""I had things to do" He tosse
Patricia was on a call when Angelo entered her office with a warm smile on his face. Alex was playing a dirty game but he was going to beat him to it."Mr. Delevonte, to what do I owe this visit?""Call me Angelo, Patricia. You always called me that when I was a boy""I loved you then, you were nothing like your brother, now you are just worse than he is"Angelo grinned as he walked closer to her. "You never liked my brother""Lucio is so full of himself" Patricia hated Lucio for rejecting his daughter and matching her daughter up with Jason. A man who wasn't of her clime and caliber. "I didn't come for my brother""What did you come for? I have appointments" Patricia glances at her wrist watch, she could spare Angelo some few minutes. "Is about your daughter""Victoria?"Angelo nods his head."She's still at the hospital with that cousin of yours. Remind me again why I don't like your family""Alex is nothing like my brother and I""Is that what you came to talk about?""I want yo
"Little slut? Where did that come from?"Lucio wanted to strangle the annoying woman. He couldn't believe she would dare show her face to him again after he warned her not to ever appear in front of him. "I came back to see you""You must be out of your mind""Lucio" She tried to touch him when he pushed her back and she stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground. The driver's eyes widened, he had never seen Lucio like this before. With Lisa, he was always soft and gentle. He wouldn't even want a scratch on her body. He was always protective of her and wanted the best for her."I'm sorry""Go to hell you bitch""I came back for you, isn't that what you wanted?""I don't want you Sophia Williams. You are dead to me""You still remember my name" Sophia grinned. She was hard to forget, Lucio couldn't just forget so easily. He used to be madly in love with her. He couldn't have just forgotten her. She still remembered how Lucio used to ring up her phone every now and then. He used
Lisa was at her desk when David approached her. He had a warm smile glued on his face. "The same tells me something good just happened" David couldn't fathom why he was very happy this morning. He made Valerie stop taking her pills and she agreed to moving in with him. He wanted to drive her to her apartment to pick up her stuff later in the day but Valerie insisted that she do it alone while David waited for her at home. "Valerie agreed to move in with me"Lisa's eyes widened. Their relationship was too good to be good. It was a whirlwind romance, everything was happening so fast that even Lisa herself started to wonder. She was happy for David and wanted the best for him but she still couldn't help but feel worried that he was going to get hurt. Not that Valerie was going to break up with him or anything. She was happy to be with him. Lisa saw it in her eyes when she left this morning after her meeting with Lucio ended but still. She just couldn't shake off this feeling. There wa
