RICARDO Once it was 7:30, I headed to the underground parking lot to wait for Luca in the car. I could have stayed longer at the office but I really was somewhat anxious and bothered by what we had to discuss tonight. “ This sucked,” I pulled out a cigarette and lit it. How long has it been since I stopped smoking? Kayla hated the smell of cigarettes so I stopped smoking it. I had initially planned to just not smoke in front of her but I found myself changing for her. I don't know why she has a sort of effect on me. “ Why does time seem slower today?” I complained as I waited impatiently in the car. I heard a knock on the glass of the passenger seat - it was Luca. “ It's about time you showed up,” I smirked, relieved that my wait was finally over. I opened the door for him to get in. “ I'm actually quite on time - earlier than planned if I may add,” he said, looking at his watch. Was he always this annoyingly precise? Maybe that's the reason he and Enzo

RICARDO “ W-what?” The attendant widened his eyes in shock. “ Ahem, I must have misheard you, sir,” he cleared his throat as he regained his composure. “ No, you didn't. I said what I said,” I answered nonchalantly. “ They were indeed accurately picked and I appreciate the thought but I don't need them for tonight,” I repeated myself. “ B-but sir… if they're really to your taste, why wouldn't you want them? If there's anything you want me to do, then I'll do it,” he was being pesky. “ Did any of the girls suddenly make you lose interest or did any do something you weren't comfortable with?” He questioned. Was he trying to get these innocent girls to pay the price of being rejected by me? Not that I was righteous enough to care but then again, it wasn't in my nature to accuse someone falsely… the memory of me accusing Kayla falsely came to mind. Of all times for me to remember this. Maybe I could atone for what I did to Kayla by helping these girls. I wasn'

KAYLA I sat down blankly in the leisure area of the house as I stared at the jigsaw puzzle I had been playing with Lisa. My mind went back to this morning, how Ricardo had asked me to let him in and promised to change for me. I initially had no plans of entertaining his false claims and lies but the more he spoke, the more my heart raced and like my body was independent of my will, I hoped and fell for his words. What was wrong with me? This wasn't the plan, Kayla! How many rules have I broken? Not only is my resolve about this mission wavering, I ended up falling for my very own target. How crazy I must be… “ Kayla… Kayla?” Lisa's voice brought me out of my thoughts. “ Y-yes?” I snapped out of it. “ What's wrong with you? You've been holding on to that piece since forever,” she stood in front of me with a tilted head. She looked at me suspiciously. “ Have I?” I laughed awkwardly as I scratched my head. “ Sorry, I must have gotten los

Chapter 67KAYLA “ Are you sure you want to wait up here for him?” Lisa asked concerned. “ Yes, I'm sure,” I smiled as we walked into his room. It brought back memories… memories I'd rather forget. It had been weeks since I last entered here and never thought I would until now.Lisa followed me to the balcony of his room as she wouldn't stop worrying. “ It's alright now, Lisa. You can leave,” I dismissed her once I was seated on a chair on his balcony. “ As much as it's only right to trust your words, I'm worried. You've been acting strange ever since you received the gifts from Boss,” she was observant, noticing the slightest shift in my emotions. “ That's true but what exactly are you worried about? Are you afraid that I'd jump down from here seeing how much you were against me waiting here on his balcony?” I questioned, staring into the skies as the evening breeze caressed my face softly. The air up here was nice and fresh - I could sleep ou

KAYLA “ W-what?” I stuttered, taken aback by her question. Lisa watched me with a knowing smile as my face turned a soft pink. “ So… I take it that you don't hate him as much as you say you do,” she teased. “ I never said I hated him to begin with. Where did you get that from?” I responded in a muffled voice. “ True, but you didn't say you liked him either. So I'm asking you if you still think you don't have feelings for him,” she repeated herself as if to make herself clear. “ Of course not… He's a manipulative and arrogant jerk,” I defended my stance. “ Oh, really? Because you seemed pretty smitten last night by that manipulative and arrogant jerk,” she smirked as she gladly rubbed it in my face. “ And when did I ever say I was smitten?” I squinted my eyes. “ Then why else would you be waiting by your room door like a puppy? Last time I checked, you were the one disappointed to see me here since you had expected it to be
