She walked past Lucian who was heading towards her room. "Natalie," he beamed when he saw her but then noticed her countenance. She walked past him and towards Leila's room. It was open when she reached. Thank God. She barged in and met her with her friends in the middle of a girls night. She recognized some of them. They were classmates from highschool. Leila's sidekicks. They had worked with Leila to bully her and make her life miserable in school. They all stood up with a start when she walked in. "What the–" One of the them Camille, said. She ignored them went straight towards Leila, dragged her out of the room and backed her up against the wall. She landed a series of slaps to her face before asking her questions."What did you do to Anita? " She asked. Her friends came close. One look from Natalie stopped them from coming closer. "leave me alone you bitch! What do i care about a stupid maid? "Leila screamed struggling to free herself."Isn't that Natalie?" Camille said. "
Natalie waited patiently outside the company doors for Lorenzo to come out, he had been at work ever since. He didn't flirt with her like he usually did. Neither did he catch her eyes and do the stuff he usually did. She was thinking hard. Had something happened that she wasn't aware of? He came out few minutes later. He stopped when he saw her, then continued and walked past her. The words she wanted to say stuck in her throat. She followed him nonetheless. "I've been waiting for you. You took long" She said smiling and walking up beside him. He didn't stop but kept on walking. "Why were you waiting? You didn't go for your training? " his voice came out very harsh. She blinked. Did she do anything wrong? "I haven't gone in a while. You said I could skip it for sometime, that we would ride home together" She raised a defense. A muscle ticked in his jaw. He turned to his bodyguards. "Take her to her training." he ordered steely then turned to her "You can skip the rides. It's no
Natalie was eating breakfast with the rest of the De Luca family. It was the first time in a long while. Lorenzo said his father had insisted on it. He wanted to know the who the latest addition to the family was. Like they hadn't met the first time she came here? She was dressed for work already, Lorenzo was seated beside her. Leila was seated across from her beside Lucian, their parents were at the head of the table. They ate in silence for the first part of the meal, then his father cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "Firstly, I'd like to apologize for Esmeralda's conduct towards you." he began. Natalie nodded unsure of how to reply. "Then, I hear you're working for Lorenzo now. How's that going?" "It's been good so far, I have no problems working with him. Our relationship does not affect my work in anyway. If that's what you're worried about" she said. Leila scoffed. Natalie gave her a look. Lorenzo's father chuckled heartily. "I've never doubted that, Lorenzo has alwa
She watched the wiry man. He smiled obviously delighted by her shock. "You mean Lorenzo crashed your wedding and married your wife? " He nodded. Esmeralda felt the lungs go out of her chest. Why would he do that? Why would he go such lengths for an ordinary girl? Except?? Natalie wasn't as ordinary as she'd thought. "what makes you so sure that I'll believe you? I know Lorenzo he dosen't just do things recklessly " she wouldn't be sidelined by this man. He laughed. "I wasn't expecting your belief. I'm here for one thing only" "which is? " she was beginning to get irritated now. "I want my wife back! " His voice shook with force. Esmeralda rolled her eyes. "The last time I checked, I don't look like Natalie and neither is this her household? " She turned to go. "I suggest you listen to what I have to say" She turned. "what makes you think that whatever you have to say will benefit me? " That crooked smile again. It was beginning to get on her nerves. "W
Lorenzo swallowed hard. He made to hide his bulge. Natalie cocked a brow. "Cara.... " his voice was dangerously low. Natalie was enjoying herself. She couldn't hide her happiness and pleasure. Seeing Lorenzo get hard for. it gave her joy. it meant... That he wanted her, badly. She was amazed. Never had she felt this wanted. This desired. Lorenzo on the other hand wished he was anywhere but here. He shifted back, turning away from her. "Don't be shy husband, " he turned. she was getting up already, coming towards him. He stood still, determined not to show any expressions. Natalie was walking towards him, seductively. She pulled her nightie cover.. Left only in her undies. Lorenzo swallowed. This.... He watched her. she walked towards him, eyes glinting. "How about, we make a deal. " She reached him and trailed her hands on his waist line. Her hands hovering dangerously on his trousers. Lorenzo stared at her. Where did she get such boldness from? He didn't answ
She gently came off him, eyes searching. Lorenzo swore. "who have you been listening to?" he asked. she smiled. "no one,i was doing my own investigations. I wanted to claim back my inheritance.""you could have asked for my help." he grumbled."I wanted to, but then your name popped up quite interestingly."He looked at her. "why did you marry me Lorenzo,? and don't give me that shit about Esmeralda. I know it's not that. it might have been part but it's not it.""Natalie, you should learn to keep quiet. it'll save your head"she chuckled dryly. "we're are not talking about my head here, we are talking about my sanity!"He smiled at her. "I wanted a quiet wife""well you should have thought twice before picking me! "Lorenzo got out of the bed and poured himself a drink. "your uncle is a very funny human being, a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I admit I only started looking into you when we got married not before." she raised a brow."Your inheritance was something that I was gett
