Chapter Twenty Eight
"Are you going to tell me what's on your mind now?" Fabrico's arms run down my bare back slowly sending goosebumps down my body and allover.
"It's nothing"
"I know you more than that, Selene." He shuffles in the bed until he clasped my face in his big palms. "Let's just say I've known you since the day you hailed into my office but having to spend time with you in Florida, was the best moments of my life" He planted a kiss on my nose. "I also got to know you more"
I'm silent and shocked at his confession. Slightly pleased and slightly, don't know what to do. I hold on to his shoulders tight, bringing myself so close to him. It's true that I've just known Fabrico for three months but he knows me more than anyone else could. Even Corby. He reads me like some crazy Sci-fi.

The Pact Chapter Twenty Nine
When I step out of the bathroom, Fabrico is seating on my bed, staring into my closet. He had his chin on his jaw and he looks adorable. I smile walking past him and holding my hand to my chest."Aren't you leaving today?" I ask him and he snaps his eyes from my closet to me. He then looks at me with a smile when I strip my towel of, finding my robe."Do you want me to?"Don't know if he's a civil person but you never reply a question with a question. Normally, I would've sparked but he looks super adorable this morning. I just can't get mad at him."No." I shove my used cloth into the dirt bag, getting it ready for washing. "I just assumed you have a company...well, companies to run""I think they can still function without me. You on the other hand, should take a break"I shake my head with a smile. "No way. I can't. Corby and I aren't on perfect grounds right now and Kay is unto me" I giggle. "She thinks I'm hooking up with some dude""You are though...only I'm not some dude" Fabric
The Pact Chapter Thirty
"Hello Grace" I smile the moment the woman opens the door. She doesn't have a friendly smile on her face, just an uncomfortable glare in which I choose to ignore. I need to see Corby. I need to know how he's carrying the news and everything."My husband isn't home" Grace grumbled from behind me."Where'd he go and when is he coming back?"She snorts. "I thought you of all people would know"I watch her parade back to whatever den she crawled out from, with a twist to her steps. I get our my phone to call Corby when I hear someone coming down the stairs, surely, it's Corby.Looking in the direction Grace went, I roll my eyes. Witch!"What a surprise" Corby chimed. He has wrinkles in his face and a huge amount of eyebags under his eyes . He's not his usual self, even the way he walks is different."Corby, are you alright? You look sick!"He sways his hands about ridding off what I said. "I'm fine. Let's talk about you" Corby took my hand leading me to his study room. The silence is appre
The Pact Chapter Thirty One
"At least that's what you get for sleeping with Fabrico Zunino" Michelle smirked.My goods turns ice cold as I try to manage her stare. She's unwavering and I'm sifting by the seconds."I don't know what you're talking about"She cackled. "Pftt! Don't act so innocent now, shall we?" She seemed to be enjoying herself. I don't blame her. She's just so bitter, always has been toward me."Excuse me" I say and start walking away but the sound of her annoying heels are head behind me and I try to walk faster."You're trying to run from this, Selene!" She called out and not heard in the block had turned out way. This is not happening. I'm not ready for another episode of Michelle and Selene go at each other. Except this time, Michelle might actually win.I stop, turning to her. "Making a scene this early, really?""Afraid of the truth?"
The Pact Chapter Thirty Two
"What are you doing here?" Was the first thing I asked."I was in town so I came to say hi" Liano grinned. Something about him is off. Even the first time I met him, it was the same thing. He has a cold stare, unlike Fabrico.I'm confused as to why he would want to drop by because we weren't on good terms the first time we met. Fabrico even hit him in the jaw. What if he came here to have a revenge on his brother?"I don't think that's necessary""Why?" He scoffs. "Scared if what my brother would do if he found out I was here?" His voice is rough and uncaring."This has nothing to do with Fabrico" I snap in annoyance."Why not? You're fucking him aren't you?"I move to shut the door in his face quickly but he grips the side of the door, pushing the door opened. It hit me in my arm leaving a little bruise but that was the least if my worries. I need to get
The Pact Chapter Thirty Three
Dylan noticed how I shivered when we got down from the Limo he hired, so he took his coat off and place it on my shoulder.“Thank you”“You're welcome”We walk up to the hall where the event was taking place. I don't know why it had to be in the night but maybe it's for the best. I cling to Dylan's arm when we enter the hall. It's not so filled but with a decent amount of people.“Do you want to grab a bottle of wine?” Dylan asks me when he sees how off I am about tonight.I nod “Sure”He grabs two flutes off a moving tray and give me one. I instantly down my own and then drop the glass d
The Pact Chapter Thirty Four
I'm not surprised to see he has a villa here in Italy. After all, it's his home. The house is sited in a closed off area. Very secluded and surrounded by lots of trees. I know the inside would be as gorgeous as the outside because Fabrico has got good taste.“Do you come here often?” I ask Fabrico when we get down from the car.“Only when I need a clean getaway.” He smiles. “ It's paparazzi free”Nice.He takes my hand as we walk up to the door. There are no workers in the house and I wonder how he manages I keep the place so neat and new. The house is empty and I could hear my heels clicking on the floor when we step into the house.I cling to his arm
The Pact Chapter Thirty Five
I button two of the buttons on Fabricos dress shirt. It reached to my thighs and comfortable. I've not done this in a while and I feel oddly comfortable doing it. When I and Fabrico set a pact, we didn't include me wearing his clothes. That's too intimate. But here I am. A law breaker! I should be in jail.The smell of roasted bead lead me all the way to the big kitchen. I'm only seeing the house in daylight now and it's so damn pretty. It has a little bit of old style in it. Vintage. The kitchen is even stoned wall. It's like I'm standing in a magazine for kitchens."Hungry?" Fabrico asked when he sees me."Farmished!" I sigh and he grins."Come seat" he pulls a stool out for me and I sit down. He plants a kiss on top of my head before walking to the toaster. He arranges four slices of toasted bread on a flat plate, scrambled eggs on another.Fabrico seats next to me. "I love that you're
The Pact Chapter Thirty Six
I know Fabrico just asked me to be his girlfriend like an hour ago but me meeting his mom, is to soon. I shrug just staring at him. He's waiting for my response."What if she doesn't want to see me?""Nonsense. My mom would like you right away"I sigh rubbing my elbows with my hands. "Isn't it too soon to be meeting your mother?" I ask and he smiles."I just want to show you the place where I grew up and the woman who raised me. I'm not proposing"Oh! That shouldn't have stung but it did. What he just said is like a little reminder that we're still just together because we enjoy each other's company. No love attached. It's like an upgraded pact, to be called his girlfriend."I'll love that" I mutter with a smile and cup his cheek placing a kiss on his lips. "But Emiliano might be there" I say remembering his visit to my house the other night."Don
