“You know I am way better than Brianna.. Just leave her so we can make it official..” It made my steps abruptly halted as my lips parted in surprise. I was caught off guard as I've never thought that it could be Lorenzo, but then, I remembered that all those times that I caught him was also unexpected. “Don't you want to check who's over there? You're not the only one who's name is Brianna, but.. who knows, right?” someone from behind me suddenly spoke. My head quickly whipped behind me and I saw the nurse I left in my father's room. Instantly, my brows furrowed upon seeing her arrogantly smirking at me as she hugged her stuff against her chest. “Are you scared?” she queried. Her voice full of mocking and she didn't try to hide it. I straightened my body as I tilted my head at her. “Excuse me? But do we know each other?” I had to ask because I seriously didn't know her at all and it's my first time to see her, but she seemed to have grudges with me. My question seemingly like in
I was fuming mad when I left the hospital. I'm pretty sure that the marriage news was already circulating around, for I knew damn well that my father had called everyone to announce what he thought was good news without my consent. I know he loved me, but I also know how he badly wanted that guy to be his legal son. As I've said, everybody wanted him, thinking he was perfect. But they didn't know he's just a human too, with flaws, who makes mistakes, bad decisions and has dirt in his hands like those bitches he slept with. “Where do you wish to go, Brianna?” Hans, my chauffeur slash trusted assistant, inquired as I settled on the backseat. I released a long breath, “Just drive,” I curtly answered. I looked outside the window and took advantage of the silence inside the car. Hans knew I don't like music when I'm in a foul mood and appreciate it. That's how good it is to be with people who know me too well, that I don't need to open my mouth often to say what I want. Hans was a big
I smirked, despite the erratic beating of my heart. “You love me?” I scoffed and shook my head in disbelief before I laughed without humor. “I'm not as stupid as before, Lorenzo. Those words won't change the situation we are in right now.”“I will change that,” he retorted with conviction.I raised my eyebrows as I eyed him sharply. Gone was the pain that I suddenly resurfaced and quickly replaced by anger.I didn't know what he was thinking but never did I imagine those simple words of his could easily unleashed the emotion I was holding on for quite too long. “You're still so full of yourself!” I glowered. “You really think you can bring back what we had before?” I seethed as my breathing became heavy. Lorenzo didn't respond. He remained mum and just watched me intently instead. I, on the other hand, leered at him, completely throwing the mask off that I had been wearing on for the whole d*mn two years straight. My heart was already filled with anger that all I wanted to do was to
Lorenzo's kisses were so intoxicating that I couldn't help but respond. He held the back of my head as he deepened the kiss which made me moan in his throat. I felt the heat in my body surging as our kisses deepened and I couldn't help but pull him closer to me until there was no space in between our bodies. “I miss you so much..” he breathed in between our kisses. I ignored it and swallowed his words instead and let out a moan when his lips traveled down my neck and found the soft spot behind my ears. I bit the bottom of my lips as I shut my eyes tightly whilst grabbing a fistful of his hair. Eventually, he stopped and pulled away. I was about to throw him daggers when suddenly, he pulled me up and carried me inside his bedroom with my legs wrapped around his body, before he claimed my lips once again until we both stumbled on his bed. I was out of my mind. With just one kiss, all of a sudden, the angst in my system instantly vanished and quickly replaced by pure lust. There was
I emptied my rock glass and slammed it on the table, "And you know what he said?" I asked Daniel angrily. "What?" "He said he never really stopped loving me! B*llsh*t, right?!" I exclaimed and leered at him as if he was the one who was making me furious. "After taking me for granted and cheating on me? He would say that? After hurting me so much to the point I've lost myself?! How will I believe that?" I shook my head profusely. I grabbed the bottle of brandy and chugged it down my throat. However, Daniel was quick enough to snatch it away from my grip when he realized I aimed to finish the whole content alone. "That's enough, Brianna.." he said calmly. I didn't protest though. I let him steal the bottle away from my hands as I slouched my body on the sofa I was sitting on. My heart was swelling from all the mixed emotions I was feeling all at the same time. For two years, I actually believed I was numbed already. I thought I had no more feelings aside from anger and nothing c
“Brianna..” I heard Daniel called but I ignored him as I felt like my heart was being crushed. I have never felt so humiliated in my entire darn life and all I wanted to do right now was to just vanish and to never come back and appear again ever. “I didn't mean to--” “I know,” I quickly cut him off and smiled bitterly. Shaking my head, I then let out a sharp and exasperated sigh.Suddenly, my senses went back and my drunkness diminished in an instant. I slowly stood up and staggered a bit. But I quickly held my hand up to stop him from coming to me for help. This might be petty, but I was hurt so I didn't want him to touch me. I know we shouldn't do it, and I understand that he was respecting me. Daniel was only doing the right thing for us, and I also know I will certainly going to regret it if there's something happens to us. Because ever since the beginning of this crazy arrangement, we had already agreed that we will never cross the line. However, I momentarily forgot ab
I pursed my lips and clenched my fist as I watched Hans leaving. “Fiancee?” I asked incredulously. “As far as I remembered, I said no” “Let's talk in your suite” I didn't protest when he started to guide me. As much as I wanted to get away with him, I also didn't want people who knew us to gossip about what's happening between us. It's one of the reasons why we stayed together. To avoid drama. “Are you drunk?” Lorenzo asked as soon as we stepped inside my room. I didn't answer him and just went straight to the bathroom. I cringed the moment I saw my reflection in the mirror. “Where have you been?” he asked critically. I raised my eyebrows when I saw him through the mirror. “Why do you care?” I rolled my eyes. “You left me, Brianna!” “So? Didn't we always do that after having s*x?” Lorenzo's face became murderous after that. But I didn't feel scared at all. I even smirked that I made him look like that because I know I hit the button, spot on. “I already told you everything
I could've left earlier without anyone knowing about it. However, I knew pretty well that it would just be a futile attempt, because Lorenzo and my father had all the resources they needed. They only need to lf a finger to know where I will be. Thus, I went to the hospital to speak with my father first about my plan, than going straight to the office instead. “Good morning, Dad,” I casually greeted. He was alone, sitting on his bed and reading a book with his glasses on. Immediately, he removed his glasses upon seeing me enter the room, then squinted his eyes on me as he watched me slowly walking towards his direction.“You're not mad?” he asked instead of greeting me back. I pursed my lips and didn't answer that. I know it was a rhetorical question and he already knew my answer. He was just asking probably because he was surprised that I visited him. I sighed. After kissing him on the cheek, I straightened my body and directly stared at his eyes. “I'm filling a leave. I need v
