"What is Lucia up to this time?" Mr. Roberto asked Ricardo who just entered the study room."I. I don't know." He confessed."I employed you to watch and report her every move to me. How did Lucia do something without you noticing? isn't there anything you can get from her phone?" He asked."No, she seems to be deleting the messages immediately it's been sent, I think she's suspecting something," Ricardo replied."She's being suspicious? how did that happen? I paid you to do a good job, not to make her suspect you. Now go back there and do your job. I want reports about Lucia's every move. get me something." He yelled and chased Ricardo out."What's that noise?" He suddenly asked rhetorically and walked towards the window. There was a minivan entering the villa and Lucia stood a few meters from it."What is she up to?" He thought to himself.He watched two men get out of the van and they brought out some mannequins.They seemed to be moving it into the mansion. Her actions were a bit
The birthday party was automatically over after the fight and everyone left one after the other. Marco drove Maria to the villa. Immediately after she arrived, she went straight to Lucia's room. She assumed Lucia purposely sold the dress to her because she knew it was a fake. Lucia was good with fashion, why didn't she tell her the dress was fake? She looked like a mad woman as she approached Lucia's room angrily. She pushed the door open, only to find Lucia wasn't in the room. She saw the mannequins and went to them. Maria pushed them to the floor one after the other. She picked up a hammer, the one Lucia used while renovating her room. She used it the break the mannequins and destroy the room's walls. Soon, Lucia's room was a mess and when she was done breaking the mannequins, she moved to the wardrobe and tore Lucia's clothes."Fucking bitch. how dare you play such a trick on me." She yelled out as she was doing her deed.Lucia arrived to meet Maria making a mess of her room. "Mari
Ricardo pretended like he didn't notice her staring at his back. She must have seen his tattoo and fallen in love with it. He grinned briefly before covering himself with a robe. "Your tattoo." Lucia blurted out."What about it?" He asked."Well, I think it looks beautiful. but why did you get a scorpion? you could have got something more charming, like a butterfly or a bird." Ricardo smirked. It sounded like Lucia was mocking him. It was hilarious for her to suggest he had butter or bird tattooed on his back."Are you kidding? a butterfly?" "Uhmmm, yes." Ricardo ignored her, she had just woken up from a relapse, so she didn't know what she was saying. Ricardo found out about her addiction when he had a doctor examine her last night. He didn't tell her he knew about it, he hoped she would tell him herself. and he's sworn to be available whenever she needs him so he wouldn't have to use drugs anymore."Well, can I touch it?" She asked, interrupting his thoughts and he turned to her
Drowned in her desperation to get Lucia out, Claudia took several measures. She didn't want Lucia taking the place of her daughter or son. Seeing how Roberto secretly shows affection for his daughter, her children were definitely on the losing side. She would do anything for them to win his heart."Where's my phone?" Maria asked. And just as she did, they heard it ring. "Give it to me quickly." She ushered and Claudia did hurriedly.She swiped the screen quickly and picked up the call after confirming who the caller was."Hello, Lisa." She said."Maria, where have you been since yesterday? did you check your Twitter yet?" She spoke quickly, Maria almost didn't hear what she said."Twitter? what happened?""Just check it." The call ended abruptly after Lisa asked her to check her Twitter."What?" Maria almost yelled when she saw the tweets she was tagged to. They were all criticizing her for ruining their birthday party of Adela. So many bad comments about her. The issue of Lucas was
"I don't need you or anyone to fight by my side, this is my destiny. Let me live it. Thank you for everything." She didn't expect it, Ricardo carried her up and puts her gently into the car."Where are we going?" He asks, arranging his seatbelt."Anywhere, take me away." "Should we go to my place?" "Of course not, Take me to a hotel. I don't want to live off you. I owe you a lot already."Ricardo ignored her rejection and took her to his place. Soon, Lucia was settled in his apartment.Lucia knew she had a lot of adjusting to do. She was in a different place now and needed to live responsibly. Lucia admired the room Ricardo gave her, it was spacious and clean just like the Master's bedroom. She was a little bored after staying indoors for a while, arranging her things. She then decided to go speak with him about the new changes. He was no longer her Bodyguard now. More like her benefactor.She knows gently on his room door and his bold voice answered."Come in." Lucia didn't hesi
In the morning, Lucia woke up to a throbbing headache. She fell asleep after so much thinking. She stood up sluggishly and heads to the wardrobe where she changed into a robe and her pink bunny slippers. Lucia seemed to have forgotten to bring a toothbrush with her, she searched her bag thoroughly but couldn't find a toothbrush in it. "I have to start my day without brushing? what's worst than this?" She said in frustration, moving towards the bathroom. Surprisingly, in the bathroom, she saw a set of new toothbrushes in different colors. Lucia stood dumbfounded. Did Ricardo always have guests here or there's always a new set of toothbrushes in the guest room bathroom? She thought but then went ahead to use one.When she was done with everything she got dressed and applied a little makeup. Lucia took out her purse and credit card. She was going to get some things for herself. Since she isn't leaving anytime soon. She didn't plan to depend on Ricardo for everything.Immediately after sh
Lucia finished picking toiletries for herself and headed toward the counter to make payments.She noticed a familiar figure also standing at the counter. But she ignored and approached the young woman."here are the few things I picked out." She extended the basket to her and she quickly received it.The man who noticed the woman beside him was stunned. She looked very beautiful and sexy. Matteo couldn't remove his eyes from Lucia. She was the same lady he rejected from his company almost a month ago. He wondered how Lucia's beauty keep adding up. He was standing behind her, his eyes traced from her back up to her neckline. "Miss Roberto?" He called out and Lucia turned. She had been waiting for it to happen. Even when she didn't look at him, she knew his eyes were all over her body. The fact that he tried sleeping with her that day at his office already made her suspect the kind of person he is.Lucia pretended not to recognize him at first, then she made a surprised face. She was g
They almost forgot where they were until a woman's voice spoke from outside the car, the woman seems to be passing by when she saw them kissing."Oh wow, si Stanno bastinado."The woman said in Italian language. (Oh wow! they are kissing). The other women beside her giggled."Lo facevo Durante il Mio tempo." The other woman replied. (I used to do that during my time." Ricardo broke off the kiss and they both stared at each other for some seconds, Lucia could feel the tension between the both of them, the looks in Ricardo's eyes seemed familiar, scary, and at the same time confusing. She couldn't read any emotions from his plain expression.Ricardo moved backward a bit and Lucia turned her face away. She didn't feel angry at him for kissing her, instead, she was calmer and more relaxed. She found herself wanting more and wishing he could continue. Lucia felt her heart skip throughout the kiss and couldn't breathe. She felt a bit suffocated until he finally spoke."Lucia, I.." "This n
