Narrator’s POVDuello opened the door for him and he carried her into the suit with a deep frown on his face. He had achieved completely nothing tonight and it was pissing him off, but somehow having her in his arms helped drive his rage away. He took her to his own room and laid her on the bed while watching her sleep. She was complaining way too much, and suddenly she fell into a faint-like sleep. He knew she must have been scared, and suddenly he felt sorry for leaving the way he did. He watched her calmly with a little smile on his face at how beautiful and cute she looked while sleeping like a baby. He hated himself for how he was slowly feeling for her, but he knew he couldn’t control the feeling because he was already in too deep. Taking a deep breath, he pecked her forehead, and then left the room to meet Duello at the living room where he stood waiting for him.Sir the manager had provided another suit for her. He said immediately as soon as his boss came into view, but Vi
Elena’s POVThe meeting with the Mandel executives had ended well. They signed in with our company, which seemed to be a huge success because even though Vincent refused to show it, he was very glad.I watched him with a little smile as he shook hands with the executives, promising them that they would not regret signing in with the company. His mood seemed to lighten throughout the way as we made our way back to where our car was packed. I was deeply tempted to taunt him about the smile on his face that he kept trying to hide, but I decided against it.He seemed to be in a good mood, and it probably was the best time to question him about how I ended up in his room last night. I wanted to know if it was a dream that he had slept beside me, or was it a reality. The thought itself somehow excited me, but believing me there is no way I am accepting that conclusion. Your mom’s surgery is going to happen today. He said out of the blues, and my eyes widened.I thought it was supposed to
She took a quick peek at the sleeping Nehita and smiled. Trying not to wake the sleeping girl, she tiptoed out of the room, and once she was safety outside, she sighed deeply and then turned to look at the sleeping girl again with a little sad smile on her face. She was doing this for her and her dying mom who needs a huge amount of money before surgery can be carried out on her. Right now, being just a day time sales representative in a little coffee shop down the street wasn’t in anyway meeting up with the demands. Twelve years old Nehita had to drop out of school due to the intensity of the whole bills on her. She can barely feed the family without difficulties, but she was willing to find a way to settle her mother’s hospital bills, and still get Nehita back to school. Elena closed the door softly behind the sleeping girl, and then walked into the passage where her neighbor Old Celina stood with a smile on her face, a pity filled smile. Don’t worry about her my dear; I will t
The scene before him wasn’t one he was expecting, and coupled with the anger already dominant in his heart. He had just returned from his company only to be visited with the news of one of his most trusted men betraying him. So with all the anger, he did that which shocked everybody. Surprisingly, the wounded lady didn't lift her face for once; even after the glass tore her shoulder skin causing blood to gush out of the wound. Her heart kept beating very fast, as she kept clenching her fists trying to control her rage. The guests already frightened took their heels, while Amelia rushed to Elena to help her out, and that was when she looked up. Her dripping wet face was frowning, and her eyes bore a frightening glint that made her look more scary than normal. Her eyes met with his and held. Each held the same intensity in their glance which kept promising scary and wicked things they could do to each other through their glance. She watched him severally as he gnashed his teeth fro
She had a lot of things in her list to do this morning Elena thought, as she dropped Nehita off at her new school. She couldn’t help the smile that broke off on her lips as soon as she saw the gladness in Nehita’s eye. Is it really alright by you Lena, can I really resume school now? She had asked with a worried look on her face as she stared at her sister. She knew her sister was struggling to help them survive, and wasn’t ready to be a burden to her sister. Bending to her sister’s level, Elena moved away the strand of hair on her sister’s cute face, with a fond smile playing on her lips. She was always satisfied and proud of her sister’s smartness, and that always gave her a reason to try harder to make sure her brilliant sister got the best education she could give her. Yes baby, I will certainly come pick you up after school. Elena told her still with her smile, and Nehita hugged her tightly. Thank you very much Lena, will you go see mom? She asked after breaking the hug, and
Her heart beat was practically racing, and soon it brought about a deep pain which she couldn't quite explain if it was from the fear of her monster of a dad having her little sister, or that he found them after all her efforts to hide away from his prying eyes. Building up courage, she asked the question which was already eating her up deeply even though she could really guess the answer at heart. How did you find us? He grinned mirthfully from the other side of the line as though he'd just heard the funniest joke on earth, and some how it gave her chills by just imagining his evil looking face as he grinned. Now, don't be ridiculous child. How do you think its possible for I not to know the whereabouts of my precious daughters, and of course their mother? He asked and grinned dangerously again. A sweat unconsciously dripped from her forehead, and only then did she realize that she was sweating porously. As fierce and strong she was, there was just one man who she fears down to
She dressed her best, that she was sure of because Amelia had put so much effort in making her look her best.Her eyes swept through the crowded clubbing hall from the entrance where she stood, she kept wondering whether she should really go in or not. The club was dim lit, and so she was completely unaware of the attentions and stares coming her way.Amelia had arrived at her house few minutes after she ended her call. Rushing to her, she'd pulled her into a bone crushing hug as though she knew just how much Elena needed the hug. Few seconds later, she'd released her, and then replaced it with a hard smack on her arm. Ouch! That hurts. Elena yelled while rubbing her pained arm with a frown on her face. You scared the shit out of me girl. Amelia snapped back, and she bit her lower lip trying to keep her emotions in check, with narrowed eyes. I'm sorry. She mumbled, and Amelia sighed, and eyed her weakly. Silence fell comfortably among them, and then Amelia broke it. What were you
You.... want me to do what? Elena asked in disbelief as her eyes went back to the picture. Marco simply shrugged.It is one of the subjects of the contract, others will be communicated to you later, and you have to find a way to do it, so that no one will suspect anything. You want me, to make him fall in love, with me? She asked in a surprised tone, as she stared at him as though he just blabbed. Well that is just impossible. She declared, and he sighed deeply. Turning to her, he took her hand in his, and then gave her a reassuring smile. Lena. You and I know that you don't have Much choice. He said calmly, and her eyes began to wail up with unsheaded tears.Did you get to see Nehita? How is is? Please, she cannot be harmed I beg you. Elena cried out, and he pulled her into a hug. I'm sorry Lena, but you really have to obey your father this time, else I won't guarantee your sister's safety. He whispered into her ear, and a single tear successfully rolled down her cheek. He is
