The penthouse was breathtakingly beautiful. It was the most beautiful part of the hotel and it was not hard to see why. I looked out of the window to the city outside. It was such a beautiful view. I imagined myself with my robe and a cup of wine, just looking at the city."Good evening, Ms. Russo.’’ I turned around, startled by the voice of the stranger. A woman in uniform was standing at the entrance. ‘’I was informed you would be our guest for a while. My name is Patricia and i am the hostess in charge of the penthouse.’’I nodded, examining her carefully.‘’Allow me to show you around, please." She smiled, her smile warm and professional. I guess she was used to treating the biggest clients of the hotel, so she had to be very warm and professional.I smiled back, a little excited and a lot curious. I'd never indulged in the pleasure of staying at a penthouse. I mean, it was too big for only me to occupy. I wondered what Zion was up to for him to occupy such a large pla

She didn’t resist. I guess she wanted me as much as I wanted her. Her lips relaxed and took mine too. My hands wrapped around her back, pulling her closer. I felt hot flashes in my body. Her arms stretched over my shoulder, pulling my head in. I slid my hands down to her ass, raising her up. I couldn’t get enough of her.We staggered to the wall, lips still locked, hands all over our bodies. Outside, thunder rumbled and lightning crashed. She was pinned against the wall, breathing heavily when I pulled away from the kiss. ‘’I want you, Octavia,’’ I said, searching her eyes. I could see the raw desires in them. She wanted me just as much.She tugged at my shirt, ripping the first button loose. Her eyes were fierce and inviting at the same time. I knew I was supposed to be avoiding her, but whatever drew her to me was too powerful than the both of us. ‘’Have me then, Mr Giovanni,’’ she whispered, her words sending shocks down my spine.I reached for her again, pulling her and

‘’You’re kidding, right?’’ she said.I wished I was. ‘’I will publish the whole story, Octavia. And you will see it. I want you as a witness.’’‘’Publish? A witness? Are you out of your mind, Rose?’’ she asked, sitting up and facing me. ‘’I can’t.’’‘’I’m not the only victim,’’ I said, closing my eyes. ‘’I have at least five women who are willing to testify. You are the only one who can testify with an evidence.’’She turned away. ‘’Please, stop the car. I’m dropping off here.’’ She reached for her purse and pulled out some notes and handed it to the driver. ‘’I won’t let you mess my life, Rose.’’I pulled out a cigarette from my purse and inhaled the fumes as I rested my head on the back seat.—It was almost 7pm when I returned home and the sound of Angel crying grated my nerves. Lydia was rocking her but the crying continued, relentlessly.‘’She’s been like this all day, ma’am,’’ she said, still rocking her. ‘’I don’t know what is wrong. I’ve tried everything i can.’’‘’I

‘’You met Rose?’’ I could see he was finding it hard to follow the conversation.‘’Yes,’’ I said. ‘’I bumped into her as I was rushing out of the Ladies. She has a photo of Luca grabbing me in the bathroom. And she wants me to testify.’’He rubbed his fingers into his hair and stood up. He paced for a while before he returned to the seat. ‘’Are you saying Lucas has been harassing women sexually?’’I nodded.‘’And he tried to do that to you?’’‘’’Yes,’’ I said.‘’Damn it! Fuck!’’ He stood up. ‘’This is my fault. I should have told him who you were to me. I’m so sorry, Octavia.’’I said nothing.‘’You said you saw Rose?’’ he asked.‘’Yes. I left the hall with her,’’ I said.‘’Are you sure it was Rose you saw?’’I looked at him. ‘’I would know Rose, wouldn't I?’’‘’I’m sorry,’’ he said, rubbing his forehead. ‘’You mentioned that Rose wanted you to testify.. That she had a photo. What is it about?’’I let out a deep sigh. ‘’I’m not sure, but I think Lucas probably had his way

‘’I’m sorry, Rose,’’ I said looking at the crying infant on my lap.She picked up the child and handed her to a girl who I identified in one of the photos. ‘’I don’t want you to be sorry, Octavia.’’ She looked at Zion too. ‘’I don’t want either of you to feel sorry for me. I don’t need you helping me too. But don’t try to stop me.’’I exhaled. ‘’I’m ready to help you get justice, Rose. I have the right connection. The people. Now is just not the time. You can’t win this.’’She returned to her seat and sat on it. I looked at Zion, waiting for him to say something. He couldn’t. I could see his face overpowered with guilt. He had misled Rose to think she meant something to him, and when she needed him, he had vanished. ‘’Rose..’’ I thought of the damage such a news article would do to my reputation. It would be a slap on everything I had worked to achieve. ‘’Say something, Zion.’’He leaned forward and rubbed his palms together. ‘’Firstly, Rose. I’m so sorry for what transpi
