Chapter Twenty Three
I shrug off Fabricos coat, dropping it on the white comforter, by the fire. Stripping my shoes off and relaxed on the chair. Don't know how long it's going to take for Fabrico to get in here but I really want to have a moment to myself right now and think.
I snuggle on the couch with my bare feet and my expensive gown on. The light in the fireplace distracted me for some few seconds until my phone buzzed and I saw Kay's name flash on the screen. She does know the right...wrong time to call.
"Hey, what's up!"
"Someone would murder you, grind you and send your remains to us and we still wouldn't even know, that's because you don't call us" Kay nagged on the phone. I assumed her with her hands on her hips or, she's pacing around with a cup in her hand.
"I was just too busy"
"Busy huh?...you went to relax and you tell me you're busy? You should be free all the godamn time"

The Pact Chapter Twenty Five
Fabrico has a deep frown on his face, his fist balling by his side as he reads the message I just showed him. He has fury in his eyes as he glares at me. I almost take a step back but I know he's not mad at me. It's on whoever sent that text.I'm watching you, Selene _ Unknown."What the fuck!" He exclaims, dropping his hand that held the phone to his side. "You got this kind of message and you didn't tell me?""I thought it was Blake...still don't know if that's him but...""That's Emiliano's number, Selene" He pinches the bridge of his nose. "why didn't you tell me?!" The question is asked in a deep, hushed voice and I had to stare at his lips to really know what he said."I didn't think it was important" I mutter."What?! You have a psychotic ex boyfriend and then you get a text like th
The Pact Chapter Twenty Six
I grab the magazine from her hand, staring closely at it. Oh my God! This might not be a good thing. And still ready to mingle? Not the kind of headline I'd like to hear every goddamn time. Also not the kind of thing Corby wants to hear. And if Michelle sees this, she might just hold it above me."It was just a friendly lunch" I say to Kay and she nodded with a grin on her face."Friendly huh?" She huffs. "He's got his arms right around your waist and ...look at how he's staring at you" Kay sighs. "He's openly undressing you""It's nothing. He found out I was in Miami, and he invited me to a party. That was all""How'd he know you where in Miami?" Kay questions. That is it! Her one hundred and one questions. It never ends, they'd just keep coming. "Oh my fucking god! Are you screwing Fabrico Zunino?"My eyes widen. "What? No!""Don't lie to me, Selene. I see right
The Pact Chapter Twenty Seven
"Of course you are Selene" She clucked, swinging her head from side to side. Uncomfortable, she is but I'm not leaving here. Not today. Corby always wondered why I never come around or even visit? It's because of his wife. She doesn't like me and when I come around. The last time, she indirectly used her words to drag me out."Well thanks. I'd like potatoes" I hummed rubbing my tummy. Corby has been looking at me ever since I walked."Get her some potatoes" He ordered one of the workers and they exited quickly."It's nice to see you again Corby" I snickered."Exactly. Since you never call me or even visit but then I find you in the cover of a famous gossip magazine" He griped, I watched him intently."I was hoping we'd talk about that"I hadn't potatoes seating in front of me in no time so I filled my mouth with a spoon. This! I've missed real food."Not here" Corby whispered, getting up and walking away. I peer at Grace and she had her face glued to her phone. I wonder what she's star
The Pact 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?"
