I clutched my chest as I felt something pull my heartstrings. It surpassed my heated desire and instantly made my eyes teary. “Can we talk about it next time? I'm busy,” said Lorenzo then turned to me. Our eyes met but I quickly averted my gaze and ran to my suite. “Brianna! Don't run!” I heard him scream. I just ignored him and fastened my pace even more. However, he was obviously faster as he immediately caught me and snaked his arm around my waist. “Are you crying?” he whispered to my ears. My eyes stung and I squinted it to cease the tears from flowing down. My blood boiled as I felt so betrayed. “You want to fvck her instead of me?!” I spat furiously.“What?” I glared at him. “The way you look at her seems like you want to devour her whole! Who's that girl? Does she taste better than me?!” I bursted out. “What are you–” I squirmed and tried to pull his hands off me. “Let go! I'll just look for Damien and ask him to have sex–” “Brianna!” his voice thundered. Lorenzo's
I lifted the champagne flute to my lips and took a sip on it as I held my gazes to the grinning eligible man approaching my way. His hair neatly combed backward and nicely waxed. His suit was immaculately clean and straight while his shoes were blinding everyone who would look down on it. Lorenzo Gomez.The topnotch business magnate who runs the Gomez Empire. Named as the most elusive bachelor in town. The person who makes and breaks anyone at the same time. The man of the hour. Everyone believed he had everything. And that included me. “Gorgeous as always,” he complimented as he leaned in for a peck on my lips. His grin didn't falter as he pulled away and sweetly greeted all the people hoarding around me. “What did I miss here?” he asked politely as his hand slowly snaked its way around my waist. I stayed still. Partly, because I was not in the mood to do a roleplay. While everyone around us seemed to be in a daze watching us, as if we were the stars from a blockbuster sappy movi
There are only three people who know this penthouse is mine. Me, Daniel and my chauffeur. That's why I was surprised when I saw Lorenzo's flashy red sports car parked and waiting for me at the entrance of my condominium building. After the call, I did not hesitate to tell my man that I needed to leave. I told him what happened and he even encouraged me to call Hans to pick me up right away. Even though I knew he wanted to accompany me to the hospital, he didn't push it, for he knew he shouldn't be seen with me. That's one of the cons in ‘our’ situation.I sighed upon settling on the passenger's seat. While Lorenzo quickly buckled my seatbelt before starting the engine. "What exactly happened?" I queried without glancing at him. There was a long pause before he answered. And I guess it was bad because I heard him heave a sigh."Justin talked to Uncle"That statement made my head quickly turn to him. His eyes remained forward tho, as he continued, "He told him that you cheated on me
It was one hot long kiss before we got interrupted by a knock on the door. We both grunted in protest as we parted and none of us hid the desire that quickly lit up inside our bodies."We're not done with this," Lorenzo whispered to my ear before he stood up and opened the door. The doctor greeted us with a serious expression, obviously not pleased that we kept him waiting. Though, it's only a few seconds delayed, but he's known to be strict about just about everything that's why his brows were in a straight line. Lorenzo though, shrugged and just casually ignored him. He then went back to my side with a naughty grin. Me, however, just watched the doctor check my father on his bed. Silence ensued then, until the doctor was done and faced us. His face remained impassive as he fixed his glasses and directed his gaze on me. "When will he wake up?" I had to ask. "When the effect of sedatives is gone. Probably tomorrow," he answered nonchalantly then shifted to Lorenzo, "The nurses wi
I wanted to laugh at Marco's reaction, if only Lorenzo wasn't scaring him away. Lazily looking at my ‘boyfriend’, I finally said, “That's enough, Lorenzo. We don't have an affair” A loud gasp from Marco was heard that brought my attention back to him, “W-what? A-a-affair?!” he screamed in horror.I gave Lorenzo a pointed look as I mentally sent him a message like ‘see?’. Then, I gave the little boy an assuring smile as I gently tapped his cheek. Poor him for experiencing this. Lorenzo must know his limits for meddling with my life. I'm not poking my nose about his affairs, so, he better keep himself away from men i'm interacting with. “If you won't stop looking at him, you better leave, Lorenzo. I don't like you scaring my visitor,” I stated while my eyes fixed on Marco. Marco scowled at me. Probably confused how I just had treated Lorenzo Gomez. Well, I don't blame him. Everyone seemed to have this thought that I am just a ‘yes woman’. Or maybe, I thought, I'm the sweet and caring
Hours had passed in silence. After Carolyn left, I decided to take a nap and shut down my mind from thinking anything. I wanted peace of mind, even just for now. Good thing, Lorenzo was such a good companion and gave me that. He did not bother to talk. However, it didn't mean that he didn't distract me with the tenacious look he was giving me the whole time.Having enough of him, my left brow twitched. He grinned seductively in return. And in a flash, he scooped me up and carried me to the bathroom and locked it while our lips locked together, hungry for each other. No words have exchanged between the two of us as he settled me on the sink and stood in between my legs. Only the sound of the lapping of our mouths could be heard and a little moan that was coming from my throat. My eyes then half opened when his lips traveled down my jaw to my neck. In an instant, Carolyn's words popped in my head as if saying my peace of mind was already over. I heaved a sigh and curled my fingers thro
“You know I am way better than Brianna.. Just leave her so we can make it official..” It made my steps abruptly halted as my lips parted in surprise. I was caught off guard as I've never thought that it could be Lorenzo, but then, I remembered that all those times that I caught him was also unexpected. “Don't you want to check who's over there? You're not the only one who's name is Brianna, but.. who knows, right?” someone from behind me suddenly spoke. My head quickly whipped behind me and I saw the nurse I left in my father's room. Instantly, my brows furrowed upon seeing her arrogantly smirking at me as she hugged her stuff against her chest. “Are you scared?” she queried. Her voice full of mocking and she didn't try to hide it. I straightened my body as I tilted my head at her. “Excuse me? But do we know each other?” I had to ask because I seriously didn't know her at all and it's my first time to see her, but she seemed to have grudges with me. My question seemingly like in
I was fuming mad when I left the hospital. I'm pretty sure that the marriage news was already circulating around, for I knew damn well that my father had called everyone to announce what he thought was good news without my consent. I know he loved me, but I also know how he badly wanted that guy to be his legal son. As I've said, everybody wanted him, thinking he was perfect. But they didn't know he's just a human too, with flaws, who makes mistakes, bad decisions and has dirt in his hands like those bitches he slept with. “Where do you wish to go, Brianna?” Hans, my chauffeur slash trusted assistant, inquired as I settled on the backseat. I released a long breath, “Just drive,” I curtly answered. I looked outside the window and took advantage of the silence inside the car. Hans knew I don't like music when I'm in a foul mood and appreciate it. That's how good it is to be with people who know me too well, that I don't need to open my mouth often to say what I want. Hans was a big
