"Shit," he said under his breath. He motioned me over to him, so I got up quickly and stood in front of him."Vincenzo?" the female voice called. "Are you okay?""Just a second!" he replied. He turned to me, lowering his voice. "Leilani, you have to hide. I'll explain later but for right now, you can't let her see you.""Who is she?" I demanded, being sure to keep my voice low. I felt the tears prickle in my eyes, but I blinked them back, determined not to cry."I'll explain later, just get in the closet," he pleaded. Without another word, I turned away from him and opened the hallway closet, stepped inside the dark, tiny space, then closed the door behind me. I lowered myself onto the ground, sat on the carpet slowly, and pulled my knees to my chest, listening carefully."It'll be okay," he whispered into the cracks in the door. I rested my chin on my arms and waited. Light flooded into the cracks on the closet door when he opened the front door. The sound of heels on tile echoed thr

During The Party.Leilani’s chauffeur escorted her into the ball room. She was welcomed by the scent of expensive wine, not to mention perfumes and colognes. The butler took off her fluffy jacket as it was hot in there.She walked in there to look for Claire but people were looking at her. Who wouldn't?The dress covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a simple halter neckline. It is a snug fit which puts the focus on her breasts, but in a graceful manner.Her arms are only covered at her shoulders. Which not only helps accentuate her gorgeous skin, it also keeps the focus on other parts of the dress.The dress' waist is a loose fit. A large belt helps accentuate her waist in a stylish manner. The dress reaches to well above her knees.She walked there as the centre of attention but still made her way to Claire.“Girl, you look stunning and 2 hours late. I've been waiting for you.” Yes, the party started over two hours ago and Leilani by that time she was fighting to kee

That Night.Leilani was in tears.“Please… stay.” She asked, emotionally.“Don't ask me to stay Leilani. I'm trying to be brave.” He explained. He grabbed his bag and when he begun to walk Leilani gasped.“Leilani… don't.” He said as he stopped. “What will happen to me?” she asked as tears flew from her face.“Please don't. You know that I can't face your broken heart. I have to do this.”“This is cruel!! You can't just leave me. Where as you know you… given me something that I can't live without.” She said and he turned. “I'm being cruel to be kind. This is what you wanted. So I'm giving it to you. Quit stressing too much, it's not good for the baby.” Vincenzo said as he walked to her and gave her a forehead kiss.“You give me mixed signals…” Leilani said crying.“Leilani—” Claire came outside and saw Vincenzo heading to the car.“Claire… Please take care of her.” Vincenzo added and Claire nodded as he walked into the car.“Leila… let's go inside, it's getting cold.” Claire said an

...I drove to the mansion as fast as I could. I ran around the house looking for her. I asked the gardener but he told me she went inside and she was crying, that made me worry more. But I had hope, there's no way she could hang herself… I mean… the ceiling is way too high. But she can stab herself… why am I being negative?“Aaaa!!” I heard a scream. It came from the pool side. I ran there to see the maid, Wilhelmina with her hands around her mouth looking at the roof.“What's wrong Mina?” Mina is what I used to call her when I was a kid and still call her that.“…Le— Leilani…” she pointed the roof and I saw her. Leilani. At the roof.I didn't waste time. I ran to the roof.“Leilani?!” I said… she looked at me with tears on her face. Her face was feverish.“NO! Don't come any closer!” She yelled at me. I didn't even listen. I walked towards her slowly.{Leilani’s POV}I've spent an hour thinking maybe I should jump here. Or maybe I should take poison and die in my sleep. I never kn

That Night.Leilani stepped into Vincenzo's room. She looked at him to see he was already fast asleep.She just watched him.“Your breathing is too loud.” Vincenzo said and made Leilani jump. “Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.” He said as he opened his eyes.“Why are you awake?” I asked Vincenzo. Trust me it was stupid thing to ask.“I should be asking you that.” He said and I walked towards him. I put my hand on his shoulder.He shook his head as if to clear it. Touched my hands that were on his shoulders. He pulled them off and I can admit it hurt. He mumbled in pain. Oh guess I hurt him… I thought he was shrugging me off but instead he pulled me to him. I found myself in bed with him. His head buried to my neck, noses touching my neck, he hugged me to him. My arms moved to hug him back, hold him even he's holding me. Why do we find ourselves in this position? Am I not hurting him?“You didn't answer my question.” I said.“I'm just thinking.” He said."Want to talk about it?” I whi
