Fabiola and Lorenzo walked into the dining hall and greeted everyone.Then they sat down…Fabiola observed the two advanced looking man and woman…They must be Maliyah’s parents…Then she saw Maliyah and Esme walking out of the kitchen,talking and laughing…They seemed so close.Esme glanced at Fabiola and rolled her eyes…for a long time,she had thought the only person she had to compete with for Lorenzo was Maliyah…she hasn’t been too bothered by Maliyah though because Lorenzo had never been moved by the young heiress at all.Esme wondered how Fabiola would keep up with Maliyah…she knew it wouldn’t be easy because Maliyah never fails to always openly expresses how she feels about Lorenzo every damn time.“You know Grandpa,I had missed you more than anyone else when I was away.”Maliyah said.Diego smiled.”I had missed you to,my dear”Fabiola sat there,quietly…she wondered why everyone was seated already when dinner was yet to be served.Everyone was chatting cheerfully and having nothin
Diego and Maliyah’s father,Edward were at the other side of the living room in an important conversation…They had not paid attention to the drama happening…Maliyah stared at Lorenzo,confused.Why was he acting as if he was being controlled by his wife?She had always thought Lorenzo was unable to love any woman…It was still so shocking seeing him so crazy about Fabiola.What was so special about her?“What do you see in her,Lorenzo?”She asked,bitterly.Fabiola looked up at Lorenzo.“Honey,what do you see in me?”Lorenzo felt so weak…a sweet kind of weakness…If she kept calling him these pet names…he might be just end up completely at her mercy.“Things I didn’t know existed…the feelings are foreign but they make me happy…do you even notice how long and hard I stare at you?How stuck I get when I catch a whiff of your scent?”Fabiola stared at him stunned…She had only wanted people to think they were in love as usual…Why the hell was he looking so serious and intense?“And you don
Fabiola sat beside the old man.“I know you like to read book before going to bed.Otherwise,I would have stayed here with you.”Diego laughed.”It’s one of the hobbies no one can stop me from doing.By the way,have you even been reading the books I gave you?”Fabiola swallowed.”I have.”“I can tell you’re lying…did they make you sleep off?”Fabiola chuckled.“I like to read too,Grandpa.”They both turned to see Maliyah.“I thought you had left with your parents.”Diego wondered.“Oh,I forgot my cellphone.”“Okay,have you found it?”Diego asked.“I’m still looking for it.”Diego paid no mind to her and continued his conversation with Fabiola….Maliyah stared at Diego and Fabiola…Back in the days,even Diego thought she was perfect for Lorenzo…Maliyah wondered what that woman had done to both Lorenzo and his Grandfather.She got her cellphone and stormed off…Fabiola saw Lorenzo walking down the stairs looking gloomy.What’s up with his mood?So she moved closer to Diego.Esme smiled watch
As she got into the car as Lorenzo had ordered,she still felt scared…If Miguel and Lorenzo were used to doing stuff that were dangerous…she wasn’t…What if they get into an accident?She wanted to cry but no tears came out.“Cover my eyes with this.”He instructed handing her a black piece of cloth.“Enzo,Please let’s just go home.”She pleaded.He eyed her,angrily.“Look,everyone knows Miguel is naughty and doesn’t really seem to think straight…I don’t think you should do this simply because he challenged you to…you shouldn’t stoop that low.”“Are you trying to say I’m petty?”“No…I.”Fabiola swallowed…her words weren’t even getting through to him…Lorenzo grabbed the black cloth from her and blindfolded himself.Seeing his eyes now covered…Fabiola felt like punching him.Where had the prim and proper Lorenzo go off to?He was acting so childish…Despite the kind of situation they were in right now…Fabiola suddenly leaned closer marveling how he could still look so gorgeous with blin
Fabiola tensed.”But…but I don’t want to.”“Oh you want to,Fab.I’ve confirmed that a lot of times.And the reason why we haven’t done that is because I was simply giving you time to come to terms with being married to me.Do not think you have any control or whatsoever.”He snapped and stood up then walked away…Fabiola instantly lost her appetite…She knew she wanted to do that with him…but sex had always been something special each time she thought about it…She had even wanted her first time to be special if not for the fact that she had thought she was dying…But thinking back now…it was kind of special…it was an amazing experience…An amazing experience she had with a man who was out of her league…Could she have sex with him again and not fall in love with him?If she wasn’t falling already…But he seemed pretty serious few minutes ago and she knew the possibility of escaping his bed now was so low.**************All morning,she couldn’t stop thinking about what he had said.She ke
Fabiola had gone home without his consent.He had texted her to ask about her whereabouts and replied to let him know that she had gotten home.Lucia had took the night off because she had suddenly fallen ill so Fabiola kept herself busy in the kitchen not wanting to think about what had happened that day…As she took out her frustration on the kitchen implements,she didn’t notice Lorenzo standing at the door with his shoulder propped against the frame…watching her.She opened the fridge and took out a jar of basil pesto…She was muttering to herself about how all the cabinets and refrigerators was stocked up with food items when she heard a deep drawling voice…“How sweet…you’re making us dinner like a good little wife.”Fabiola whirled around,her heart in her mouth and promptly dropped the pesto on the immaculate slate floor.In an instant,Lorenzo was there,bending down to pick up the biggest glass pieces but the speckled green sauce was splattered everywhere…Her heart was still ha
He hadn’t fallen asleep when he laid there…He had just been reeling on how much trouble he was in right now…He had just realized bedding her couldn’t solve this…If anything…it had just increased this attachment he felt for her…it had increased his urge not to let her out of his life…When he heard her footsteps fading out of the bedroom,he opened his eyes and sighed,heavily…How on earth should he deal with this?He stood up from the bed and reached for his trousers…his eyes came across the pink book on the table…The book was opened and he faintly saw the word ‘man’ at the top so he moved closer to it…He realized it was her diary…And on that page was what she had written about her dream guy…He blinked as he read through…Realizing he was the total opposite of what was written here made his chest tighten…She had just wanted an ordinary man…someone she could build her life with…someone who could help her actualize her dreams…He recalled the only thing he wanted her to do was be
After a moment of silence,she finally let out…“Why the hell would I get someone to investigate you?I’m nothing like you.”He leaned against his chair.”Anyway,If you’re curious about anything.You can ask me directly.”He suggested.She shot up to her feet.”Then why can’t you ask me the things you wanna know about me directly instead of secretly investigating me?”He shrugged.”I felt that would be more efficient.”He always thought there were experiences in people’s life that they couldn’t bear to talk about.Just as he couldn’t bring himself to talk about some parts of his life.“Well,if you want to talk…then start talking…I want to know everything about you.”He drawled.Fabiola suddenly felt like she had dug a hole for herself.She reluctantly told him a bit about her grandmother…her school experiences..the junior high school she attended…why she dropped out of high school which he already knew by now…But then she felt she had given enough information for now…He had to tell her what
