*THE PRIVATE BEACH HOUSE* Lorenzo was driving Tinsley to his beach house with a sense of urgency. His drive was rough and wild. While driving, his mind was burning with emotions that he could no longer contain. He was going extremely crazy, and this was —her doing. Tinsley, on the other hand, was quiet and distant. She sat silently at the back of the passenger, watching him and she knew he was losing it. Sometimes, she prayed he wouldn't run into a tree or something. A few minutes later, Lorenzo arrived at the spot and it turns out to be a beach. Lorenzo immediately got out of the car, and he promptly opened the door quickly for Tinsley. Tinsely hesitated for a moment, looking blankly at him. “Come on, I don't want to be harsh,” Lorenzo muttered, and she unconsciously stepped out. Lorenzo held her hand tightly, possessively. Walking towards the only large building on the shore, the cool breeze from the beach welcomed them. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore w

*LORENZO’s—MANSION* Tems woke up with a throbbing headache from the hangover he had last night. “Gosh! My head,” he groaned achingly, holding his head with his hands. After he had rough sex with Jeannette in the office, and when he left the company, he went to a bar later on and got dead drunk. Not being able to steal that file from Lorenzo’s office was making him go insane, and he doesn't know what to do about it. Sighing deeply, Tems sailed out of bed. The sun ray from the window was blinding, so he went to shuffle the curtains before dragging himself to the bathroom to freshen up. A few minutes later, he got spruced up in black sweatpants and a white shirt to match before stepping out of the room. Tems walked down the stairs and he saw the maids cleaning the living room. His elder brother was not in sight. “Good morning master!” The maids stopped, bowed, and greeted him. "Has Lorenzo come home yet?" Tems asked coldly. "No sir, senior master hasn't come home yet," one o

“Sis-sister?” Lucinda shuttered, trying to get closer to the but Tinsely moved back slightly. “Why do you want to make him lay for everything, huh? Listen to me, Lucinda, Lorenzo is not as bad as you think, okay? He already apologized to me!” Tinsley shouted. “Oh!” Lucinda understood what Tinsely heard, and she glance knowingly at Lorenzo. Lorenzo breathed out in relief. Tinsley didn't hear their dialogue, she only mistook Lucinda’s last few utterances —she thought Lucinda was reprimanding him for breaking Tinsely’s heart. “It's fine sister, I was just...” Lucinda was lost for words at the moment, and not knowing what to say. “Baby, Lucinda is not talking badly to me, okay? She was only trying to make sure I treat you better,” Lorenzo came to Lucinda’s aid. Lucinda glared at him for saying that, he was lying but she was glad he covered up. She doesn't want her elder sister to find out yet, or she will be deeply heartbroken and ruined. “Oh, sorry, I guess I misunderstood the

*DEVOTED DESIGNS—COMPANY* Tinsely walked out of her office, and it was late already. It's 6:30 pm, and most of the workers have left. “Bye, baby!” Mary waves at Tinsley. “Bye, love!” Tinsely waves at her before entering Lorenzo's office. She was clutching a folder in her hand which contains her latest design. She was exhilarated to share it with him, and she also knew he had a keen eye for design and his feedback will help her know if she outdid herself. "Hey sweetheart, do you care to give me a minute of your time? I want you to take a look at something,” she said, while approaching his desk.Lorenzo looked up from his computer and smiled as he saw her. Of course, mage. I always have every goddamn time for your impressive designs," he said, giving her a sign with his hand for her to come closer.Tinsely eagerly handed over the folder, and she watch as he flipped carefully through the pages. She could feel her heart pounding with anticipation and tension, while waiting for hi

Tinsley had a restless night after the incident with Tems last night in the kitchen... She tossed and turned around on her bed, images of his face dominating her brain, flashing through her mind. She had never felt so vulnerable in her life! Eventually, she managed to fall asleep, but even her dreams were haunted by the memory of his tinge on her skin.The next morning, Tinsely woke up early, as the sun flowed into her room. She sighed as she sailed out of the bed, and she was determined to put the incident behind her. Going to the bathroom, she took a long shower, and she let the hot steamy water wash away her fears and apprehensions. Whence, she steps out and goes to the closet to get dressed in her favorite dress and put on some makeup, hoping to feel a little better about herself. Finally, she picked up her purse and left her room. She won't be going to work today, so she thought of stopping by her sister’s place. As she sauntered out of her room, immediately she saw Tem
