Mike was sitting across the table staring at Lisa as she savored her food. He couldn't still believe he was sitting here with Lisa In a fancy restaurant. He had tried for six years but failed. Lisa wasn't even aware he existed back in college."What have you been up to lately?""Up to?" Lisa wasn't sure what exactly he was asking. The question was very confusing like the professor's questions when she was still in college. "I don't quite understand""Alright, where are you working?""I work for the Delevonte""That's a big company" Mike's jaw dropped but he was quick to close his mouth. Even though he has never met any of the Delevonte, he has heard a lot about them."Do you know that they are one of the leading company in the state right now"Lisa wasn't aware but she suspected. Her boss must be someone of importance to have so many people gunning for his life. He equally pushed Dominic off her back but that wasn't necessary. "Don't tell me you didn't know""I'm really not intereste
"I went on a date talking about my ex!" She finally says. It was hard talking about Khan. He was that delicate part of her life that she wanted to forget. Mike had to just bring him up. She didn't blame him for bringing it up, he was only trying to help since it was a message from Khan directly. So he had to deliver it to her."Your ex?""Yes we went on a date talking about a professor I dated""You dated a professor?""Yes I dated a professor and I know what you are thinking. I was 23 and he was 39 so it wasn't that bad''"Well it was bad""It was he broke up with me and all"Lisa could still remember it all, that night she had gone to his apartment to surprise him but he didn't let her in. He kept her by the doorstep. Lisa suspected that a woman was with him in his bedroom but there was no woman. It was just him and a bottle of alcohol. The look in his eyes that night was enough to tell her to turn around and leave but she didn't. She stood there with a wrapped up box of pizza and
Margaret doesn't need to turn around to put a name to that familiar voice. It was no other than her rebellious son Angelo Delevonte."What do you want her to call you mother?"Margaret turned around locking eyes with Angelo. His gaze was cold and wicked as he drew nearer to him."Angelo, son!"Lisa rolled her eyes. Margaret was a pretentious woman. She knows how to put up a good act but good thing Angelo heard it all. Lisa hasn't met Angelo but she has heard Lucio talk about his brother all the time. She could tell he loved him. "Why are you causing a scene mother?""I wasn't causing a son. I was only asking to speak with your brother""He's in a meeting I'm sure Lisa must have told you that""Oh! That's her name" Margaret couldn't hide her contempt.That didn't bother, she was the mother of the man she was working for. The one who saved her from the hands of those trying to end her life by taking her to that laboratory."Yes and you should have known that if you weren't rude""I was
Valerie stomped her feet on the ground striding towards the door as the doorbell rang. She scoffed as her eyes fell on the wall clock, it was late in the night. Valerie hated late night visitors. She lived alone ever since her roommate got married and moved across the country. Now she was living alone in her condo. Reaching the door, she yanked the door wide open exposing a delivery man. She arched up her brow at the unfamiliar man. He wasn't the same delivery man that came around yesterday or has been coming around rather frequently but she hadn't paid any attention to them. Valerie wasn't like Lisa. She talked a bit too much and wasn't a calculative or smart woman. The only thing she was good at was fashion, business and men. Well she was good at making men fall for her, all men except Lucio Delevonte.Oh Lucio! He would never fall for her since she dated his friend and he loved her but as his sister. There was nothing that was going to ever happen between them. "I didn't order a
David couldn't fathom why he was still madly in love with Valerie. She treated him like trash and didn't fail to humiliate at any chance she got. His heart squeezed and bled as it beat. She was back with Damien. He wasn't a good man, David had seen him with a lot of women in the past and was certain he hadn't changed but Valerie still chose him.First it was Jason, then Lucio and now Damien. When is it ever going to be his time? He blamed himself, maybe he should have been into as a socialite or be like Jason then maybe Valerie would look at him. Right there, he hated himself and didn't want to go home. The only thing he wanted to do was forget about what happened at her house. He couldn't go back home and be alone in his apartment; neither could he call Lucio.He would tell him to forget about Valerie and even option to set him up on a date with other women. Lucio doesn't want to hear him talking about Valerie, in his eyes, she was still Jason's girlfriend. A man he knows nothing abo
Without having to turn around, David could put a name to that familiar voice tight behind him, her heels clicking on the ground as she walked closer to them."What girl did you meet yesterday?"David was furious. Valerie was asking her some silly question as if he owed her an explanation, lest she forgot. She threw him out of her apartment and humiliated him in front of beloved Damien."I wasn't talking to you Valerie"Lisa looked at the lovebirds, they seem to be having some couple issues. Not like they were a couple or anything.David glanced back at Lisa who was eager to see them spar. "I will see you around""Aren't you going to wait for Lucio?" Lisa purposely asked. She wanted him to stay. She enjoyed watching both of them spar more than she enjoyed streaming Netflix."No I'm not" David was quick to say. He could see right through her cunning mind. Lisa was a Cunning but very smart woman, she was observant and didn't waste time studying humans. Back in highschool, some people tho
Angelo Delevonte was on a call with an investor when Victoria Carnegie barged into his office with Carissa right behind her, trying to stop her from entering Angelo's office but she was already inside and glaring at the cold man. "My secretary will send you the documents, go through it and let me know if there's anything you would like for me to change" Angelo lowers the telephone down to the table, he locks eyes with Victoria. "That's all right Carissa you may leave us alone"Carissa glared at Victoria, turning her heels and she left his office shutting the door. She was his secretary of over three years who was secretly in love with Angelo. Ever since his wife Hannah died, she had been his bedmate and was hoping that he would be her life partner. Angelo cared more about the sex than he cared about her, he was never going to marry another woman and replace Hannah. That was not going to happen, not when he was still hung up on her and still had his wedding ring on his finger."What a
Lucio was in the living room working on a project when Lisa strides out from her bedroom, dressed up and sauntering towards the door. He looked up at her, wondering where she was going. It was one of the cold nights in the bustling city of New York. "Where are you going?" Lisa ignored him. She wasn't going to give him an explanation of where she would or wouldn't be going to. She was still mad at him for choosing Elliott Wang over her. Not that she was anything to him but she thought she was special or at least important in his life. "Lisa" Lucio could sense that she was still mad at him. She had avoided him at the office as if he was a plague and he was tired of it. They would have to talk at some point so they better talk about everything before tomorrow when Ms. Wang comes over to his office to sign the rest of the contract. Without saying a word to him, she walks closer to the door. This causes Lucio to lower the document down, his adrenaline rushes up. "Lisa! Am I not talking
