Elegantly Wasted Chapter 59
Raffaele Something seems to be disturbing my Tesoro and knowing her I know that she is too stubborn to tell me unless she is ready to talk about it. I cannot help but shake off the feeling that she is hiding something from me and does not want me to find out probably the reason why she has been acting all strange ever since we landed in Italy. One thing about me is that I have been trained to read emotions and feelings and I can tell when someone is lying to me about something she has been doing to me for the past few weeks but I have done my best not to seem bothered while deep inside I feel quite livid. I love Edwina but lying is where I draw the line when it comes to having a relationship with someone and as much as I want to act oblivious to her actions I can't help that feeling in my gut that is telling me that she is indeed hiding something from me. I close the door to our room and make my way down to my office to go through some work calling Gio to join me for a little chat.

Elegantly Wasted Prologue
~Unknown~ I'm just about to take another sip of my bourbon when a woman walks in escorted by a man dressed in a sophisticated black Armani suit. The man wears a cold hard expression leaving no room for emotion as he accompanies the woman. The woman is dressed in a dark grey mini dress with a wrapped upfront accentuating her hourglass figure. She has a curvilinear waste and saffron tint to her complexion as the dress creates room for a glimpse of her glossy skin. Her obsidian-black hair flows in waves over her shoulders her eyes having a light like sapphires, bright and hard. I recognize her as the youngest member of the Gemstone family; a family quite known for its wealth and prestige. Armando Gemstone and Henrietta Gemstone, the co-founders of one of the biggest corporate businesses in the state, happen to be the parents of the woman who powerfully strides across the floor, Edwina Gemstone. It was not an everyday affair for a member from such a prestigious family to walk into

~Edwina~ The door to my black Rolls-Royce opens as Elliot takes his stand dressed in his usual black suit. He offers me his hand and I take it my feet leaving the comfort of the Rolls-Royce and coming in contact with the pavement. Elliot closes the car door behind me wishing me a good day as he gets back into the car driving away. I can't help but smile at how much I have grown fond of him considering he has been a part of my life for the longest time. Elliot's not much of a people's person and never has been but over the years I have managed to live with that fact. He's been my driver for a while now and is one person who has earned my trust without even trying. I walk towards the prestigious building I call my own, dressed in a fitting black short skirt suit matched with Black Suede Stilleto high heels. My long hair is straightened crashing on my shoulders and I walk through the automatic sliding glass doors. My heels echoed across the glassy but not slippery marble floor as

~Edwina~ I stare at the phone once the line is dead handing it over to Alessandro who takes it. "Who is the man?"I ask still puzzled. "You'll know eventually,' he says dryly and I roll my eyes at him on hearing him call me princess. "Doesn't he ever do business face to face?"I ask trying to picture the man behind the voice I just spoke with. "Why? You already falling head over heels for him?" asks Alessandro amused as a little smirk appears on his face. "So what happens now?"I ask ignoring his snarky comment. "You wait for him to call the shots," says Alessandro like it's an obvious thing. I sigh frustrated that he wouldn't tell me anything more as I stand up leaving the club and getting into the same car that brought me here in the first place. All through the ride, my mind seems to replay the conversation I had with the man over the phone and I have to admit that it was quite a turn-considering how raspy and deep it was. I finally arrive back at my office in time to catch up wi

~Edwina~ I groan as my eyes open adjusting to the bright light that fills the room. My head is pounding and I feel like shit as my eyes finally adjust to the unfamiliar large beautiful room. I force myself to sit up feeling the soft cushioned mattress below me and I notice the king-sized bed that I must have slept on.I don't remember anything from last night since it was all a blur. Fear grips me on realizing that I'm not in the same clothes I had on last night rather, I'm dressed in a man's dress shirt that smelled of outrageously expensive and sexy earthy sandalwood. "Don't worry Tesoro, nothing happened last night," comes a deep voice from across the room startling me and making me jump. "What the hell?"I whisper yell my eyes finally finding the man and I clutch the virgin white sheets closer to my body. He's sitting on the verandah whose glass doors are wide open letting the cool breeze fill the room. He's dressed in a black dress shirt with a shiny expensive black Rolex wa

~Edwina~ "See you around Princessa," says Alessandro as the car pulls up outside the company building the doors automatically open and I step out Alessandro drives away. "I swear I will one day strangle you," yells my best friend Krystal as she storms up to me my eyes widening in shock. "What the hell?"I ask wondering what time she reached here as she stands in front of me asking in a high pitched tone, "Where the hell were you last night Ed?? And you better not feed me any form of bullshit!" I sigh knowing how dramatic Krys can be as I say, "How about we talk about this in my office Krys where we will not cause a scene?" "Sure," she mutters frustratedly as we walk into the building. "I call you many times last night and you never picked up. Where were you?"Krys asks angrily once we've settled in my office. I pull my phone out of my bag to see that indeed I had forty missed calls from her. "I'm sorry okay, last night Alexxis and I went out for drinks and shit happened, 'I sigh
Elegantly Wasted Chapter 5
~Edwina~ "Oh my God, I'm sorry," comes a lady's voice and I hear Raffaele ask, "Jas?". My eyes look up to see the lady and I'm stunned at her undefined beauty. She has the body of a model and the black dress she wears, clings to her body bringing out her natural curves. Her brunette hair with honey-coloured streaks crashes against her shoulders in perfect waves and for a moment I'm jealous of her beauty. I finally pull my eyes away looking at the mess she has made and I hear Raffaele ask, "Tesoro are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine don't worry about it, "I say with a tight-lipped smile as I stand up avoiding the broken pieces of glass on the floor. "Raffaele, is it you?" comes the lady's voice. Raffaele stands up slowly dragging his chair back and hugs the lady saying, "Yes it is." I frown my forehead at their warm exchange wondering what the hell is going on. "Jasmine, I'd like you to meet Edwina," says Raffaele smiling at her like he's very proud to introduce me. "Hello Edwina,"
