Every man, at the bottom of his heart, wants to do right. But only he can do right who knows right; only he knows right who thinks right; only he thinks right who believes right. ~TiorioAnthonyI glanced at my watch again and back in the hallway to see if Charlotte was coming but there was no sign of her. It's been ages since she left. I tried calling her phone but sighed in defeat when I head the device ring in the clutch sitting on the table.Getting up from my seat, I went to the direction she had disappeared to remembering she might have mentioned something about the ladies washroom. I found the ladies room without difficulty."Sir this is the women's room, the gent's is that way." a short woman corrected."I didn't ask you." I rolled my eyes pushing past her and entered "Charlotte Quan!" I yelled. "Charlotte are you in here?""Elio." I heard her voice call followed by someone sobbing lightly from a stall."Charlotte get the fuck out of there!" I groaned "this isn't the time to

I pulled her to my chest as she stumbled out of the stall."Let's go home please." she pleaded her voice cracking again."Can you walk?" She nodded but I gave her a quickly scan and she didn't look like she could reach the restrooms door without fainting."The bag." she pointed at the bag inside the stall.With a ton of toilet paper, I cleaned the blood off the floor. Satisfied with the job, I picked up the bag before lifting her bridal style. She leaned her petite frame against my broad chest and closed her eyes.Using the back door to sneak out of the hotel undetected, I walked over to my car. Getting there, I carefully sat her in the passenger’s seat and buckled her seatbelt before moving to my side, throwing the bag

Imagination was given to us to compensate for what we are not; a sense of humor was given to us to console us for what we are.~Mack McGinnisAnthony 'Bang! Bang! Bang!'A loud banging on my door pulled me out of my sleepy state.The loud banging on my door carried on."Damn it." I groaned trying to move and see who it was but couldn't because something was hindering my movement, I looked down and found Charlotte lying head on my chest with her arms around me and our legs tangled together, smiling I carefully unwrapped myself from her and got off the bed.'Bang! Bang! Bang!'The banging was heard again making me angrier than I already was for being forced to move out of the comfortable position I was in. I took long strides to the door and almost pulled it off its hinges when opening it."What!" I growled at a shocked Trevor. "Who gave you the fucking right to bang on my fucking door you imbicile!""I-I-I" he stuttered moving back."Use you fucking words idiot." I left the room and c

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard ThurmanCharlotte"Princess." I heard a faint voice groan."Princess are you awake?" it came again but I hid my face in something that smelt so good, I knew this scent, it was all too familiar but I just couldn't place who it was for some reason.I felt my mouth move and let out a sentence that probably never made sense."Are you complimenting me in your sleep." The voice laughed.I felt my mouth move again obviously replying but I couldn't understand myself."Is that so?" the voice let out a sexy chuckle."Kiss me." the words slipped out of my mouth and my eyes shot open with shock, I blinked furious comprehending what the hell I just said now that I was fully awake.Say something, save yourself"Princess." the voice called and my face flashed red when realization hit me hard, the voice belonged to no other than

I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." ~Muhammad AliCharlotteRiley and I spent hours talking and laughing about different things, who knew we had so much in common."You are complaining about 1 brother when I've got 2 don't even get me started on my dad, uncle, grandfather, godfather, the list keeps going on and on." I laughed when she complained about her overprotective younger brother."So y'all are triplets?""Yep, and lucky for me, my mother decided to stop having kids making me, I'm the only female." I sighed dramatically."I can’t imagine how you feel.""It's got its advantages and disadvantages" I told her. "How do you say jackass in Spanish?"Riley was from Portugal but moved to London when she was 5. Just like me, she learnt Spanish so she could make her father happy.

The older boy retrieved my wallet from his pocket handing it to me."My wallet." I smiled "thank you so much."I smiled at the small black Prada wallet, I had completely forgotten about.” "You dropped your wallet." Adriano growled at me but I just ignored him."You are welcome, we would have brought it sooner but this place was quite hard to locate.” Their mother told me “Just be more careful.""I will." I smiled "Come on in." I offered having an urge to get to know more about her."Thank you but no." She shook her head."Come on, it's only for a few minutes." I told her."We really ha

Whatever else may be shaken, there are some facts established beyond warring: virtue is better than vice, truth is better than falsehood, kindness than brutality. ~Quintin HoggCharlotte"Anthony!" I called after him but he didn't bother looking back at me or stopping.I stared at his retreating figure till he disappeared down the hall and I sighed.'Now you've pissed him off' my subconscious reprimanded."But then again, it’s not like I was wrong-" I scoffed only to realize I was talking to myself.Huffing, I went back to the pool area to get my laptop but I didn't find it. I asked all the guards and staff if they had seen it and all of them gave me same answer, 'NO'I kept searching and searching till my mind drifted to that one human being who was most likely having it.'Anthony Santoro’Annoyed as to why he would walk out on me earlier and still have the guts to take my things, I marched to his room but it was empty so I went to the next possible place he could be, his office.Wh

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.~Earl Nightingale Charlotte"I didn't know perverted females existed." Anthony spoke with his already deep husky voice become deeper and huskier making my insides clench."Huh?" I whispered to myself.Chuckling, he started coming closer and closer to me but with every step forward he took, I took one backwards, well at least until my back hit the kitchen island. In a flash, Anthony was in front of me and he placed his hands on either sides of the island trapping me."Look at me." He commanded and I couldn't help but do as told, my eyes averted and met his piercing blue orbs, I swear I felt like he was looking into my soul and him towering over my tiny figure wasn't helping at all, I felt so small and insignificant compared to him.He lowered his head until his breath was fanning my face. He pushed some strands of hair behind my ear and while at it, his cold hand grazed my skin. Immediately my eyes flutter
