Lorenzo:I watched her fall to the bed she scrambled to her feet and glared at me angrily. Her mixture of fear and courage was an amusing cocktail. I couldn't help but chuckle at how clumsy she looked.Her cheeks went red and she finally was able to regain her composure.She set her bag down on the bed and stared at me furiously.“I want to know what the text and money were for?"I scoffed and turned away from her. I wasn't ready for this bullshit.“Lorenzo, I demand an answer…”"Wasn't it obvious or was your skull too thick to let the message sink in properly? I don't like you! Last night was just a fling. I had sex with you and that was it. Nothing more or less.”Her eyes began to tear up and she glared at me with them.“No. I refuse to believe it! I saw the way you were around me. You touched me like you owned my body. No one has ever touched me that way. You were my first, Lorenzo, and now you are just going to tell me that last night meant nothing to you! You just want to act all

Clarissa:I woke up exhausted. I looked out of the window and light barely came from it. It was evening. I couldn't believe how the day had gone by so fast.I turned around and rubbed the space on the bed. Lorenzo had disappeared the same way he did back in my room at Erica's house.I sighed sadly and grabbed the pillow that he lay on. It still smelled like him. I pulled it closer and relished the scent of his expensive perfume on the bed sheets.I had a wonderful afternoon with him and I was a fool to think that if I slept off, I would wake up with him by my side. He had made it very clear that he had no interest in me and that he wanted me to be his slut, his side piece. It was a fact that he would never put me above Erica. He fucked me but Erica had a place in his life and didn't even understand why.I had watched them for years and they never acted like two people there were about to get married. There was love in their life but it wasn't as expressive as I thought it would be.In

Erica:I glared at him and he looked at me with equal intensity. My heart was beating rapidly. I was this close to being exposed. If Lorenzo had been on that call he would have known that I was with Dante.I raised my hand to slap him across his cheek was he caught my hand in mid-air and pulled me close to him.“Erica, I do not know why you continue to resist me and frolic with him!”I tried to retaliate with my left hand but he caught that as well and all I could do was stand still, while he held me, and glared furiously at him.“That ‘him’ you are referring to is my fiance and I will marry him. Face it, Dante, you lost me and you will never get me back. I will never be your Luna; I will never be your woman. I will never belong to someone as selfish and cruel as you. You had me in your life and now you lost me. It's someone else's turn. He was there for me when you were not, for 6 years. And you can't even lie that you missed me because you never attempted to look for me all those ye

Clarissa:I was at the mall in sunglasses.Even though it was evening, I couldn't risk anyone recognizing me. Only the Goddess knew how many people knew Erica and my affiliation to her.I already had a lot of shopping in my arms. I bought as many stylish clothes and bags as I could.I had the feeling that I had visited every designer and bought at least one of the outfits: Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, Gucci, you name it.I even surprised myself by buying things that I never thought I would ever be able to wear. I had lingerie, high-heeled shoes, and sexy bathing suits in my shopping.I stopped at another store and a dress caught my attention. I adored it on the mannequin and wondered if Lorenzo would think it was pretty on me.I looked at my phone and saw that I had barely scratched my budget and I could fit in a few extra things.I walked into the store and was greeted warmly by the shop attendant.“Good evening, Miss. Welcome to Lady Fashion. What would you like to buy

Erica:“Erica? Erica ?”I was pulled out of my thoughts by Javier staring at me, as well as the kids. I gave a nervous laugh and tried my best to collect my thoughts.I didn't want Javier coming with us, but at the same time, I didn't want to seem rude. He seemed like a nice guy and I was certain that there was not going to be an incident where I would end up fucking him.If anything, he was way better company than Dante. Maybe that was what I needed: some good company.“Hey, Erica,” he started softly. “You seem a little hesitant about me coming along with you and the children. I don't want to force your decision. I can go if you like. I have…”“No, no, no,” I said, holding his arm tenderly.I looked up at him and was once again captivated by his warm golden eyes and his handsome face.“I would be delighted for you to come along with the kids and me. I've been stuck in some bad meetings this week and some good company would do me a lot of good.”I watched his lips curl into a smile a
