The ride to her apartment was silent, although Adrian drove fast, he still didn't arrive in time and Cia had fallen asleep. While he sped through the lanes of the highway, Adrian closed the windows so that Cia wouldn't catch a cold from the cold evening breeze. Adrian stopped the car for a while, he pulled over and parked by the roadside.He removed his suit and used it to cover her body, he wondered why women loved wearing sleeveless dresses despite the fact that it had more disadvantages than an advantage. After he made sure that she was comfortable, Adrian continued on the road. After a few minutes, he'd look at her. Adrian noticed her move and the jacket shifted, making her shoulders exposed.He swallowed on his dried throat, Cia had a beautiful body and smooth skin. He almost got distracted, Adrian turned his focus back on the road. Half an hour later, he reached the apartment complex where she lived. When he looked, he noticed that Cia was already awake. She rubbed her eyes s
"How are you feeling now?" Manuel asked Vanessa curiously as they ate breakfast together the next morning. He couldn't stop looking at the bandage on her neck, and it triggered his anger the more he looked at it. He wanted to make Marina pay for it, he swore to give her similar scars once he laid his hands on her.Manuel couldn't imagine how much pain Vanessa must be feeling at the moment.Including her face which had a slight cut on it, he couldn't forgive Marina for it."I feel much better now." Vanessa answered him briefly then she resumed munching on her food. She is still trying to get rid of the thoughts of Mara dying yesterday because of Marina and her.Vanessa felt like she needed to take a break from everything, including acting for a while but she couldn't.It was hard for her to do so.She continued to eat while Manuel excused himself to do something. Soon, Vanessa's mobile phone rang and she picked up the call from her best friend, Cia."Hello Cia" she greeted her.Vane
Cia moved in with Vanessa without any hesitation, while they worked together on a new script that Vanessa had just received from the industry.Even though it wasn't a lead role again, Vanessa was excited that she acquired the role because of her hard work and the movie was bound to be a popular movie series because of its plot.She wished that when it goes viral, she would be recognized through her act in the film, and from them, she might acquire the fame She had always aimed for. While she read and practiced the script for the umpteenth time that day, Cia was already getting bored of it.Vanessa didn't believe that she acted it properly so she kept trying again. As she moved forward, trying to act based on the description of the character she was assigned for, Vanessa missed a foot and she fell on to the floor, she twisted her knee on that act."Nessa!" Cia exclaimed in fear as she rushed towards her friend and tried to help her. Vanessa assured her that she could stand up on her o
The door of his master bedroom was kicked open by Manuel and he took Vanessa straight to his bed and he placed her gently on it.Afterwards, Manuel went to his drawer, pulled out a small first aid kit and came back to attend to her wounds. Vanessa was hesitant to allow him touch her leg but after a few minutes of thoughts, and his persistence, she finally allowed him to touch her.Manuel took her leg out gently, and after opening the balm he applied it slowly on her. He rubbed his hand on it in a circular motion, he didn't want to hurt her with the application.Manuel was soon done, Vanessa wished that he didn't stop. She loved how his hands felt on her skin, it was driving her crazy. She couldn't believe that his small touch on her brought greater effects on her body. She continued to watch him move around the room after he went to put the box back to its place. "You have to rest after this," he suggested. When Vanessa tried to stand up, he insisted that she rested inside his room u
It was evening time and Vanessa was standing outside on the balcony of the bedroom, glaring at the sight of the environment within the huge villa. She was restless inside of her and she couldn't stop thinking about her recent moment with Manuel. Her heart already accepted him, but her mind still dwells in the past.Vanessa was ready to be with Manuel and start over a new beginning with him. Why did her past memory keep coming to disrupt her decision? Her head was in a mess, filled with unending thoughts.She didn't focus on her surroundings, she also didn't realize that Manuel was standing behind her, admiring her beauty. Manuel stood at the entrance of the balcony where he realized that Vanessa was in. He couldn't help himself but look at her, she was so beautiful, he couldn't get his eyes off her.Vanessa was putting on his shirt and it was huge enough to cover her body down to her thighs. It didn't go below her knees so Manuel could see her long beautiful legs Exposed. She had s
Manuel had just returned from the office and he realized that Vanessa was nowhere to be found. He asked Adrian to check her location but it was unavailable because there was no signal in the area that she was.Manuel was angry, but he tended to calm himself down. It was almost nine p.m. and Vanessa wasn't back from the studio."We should go to the studio to see if she's still there" He stated, grabbing his coat from the couch and heading out with Adrian who seemed to be busy with his phone.As they went into the car, Adrian coincidentally surfed through the internet and when he came across the pictures of Cia, he decided to look more."What is it? Start the car!" Manuel demanded, he couldn't help but think that Vanessa was in some kind of danger.Even though she had to do a night scene, she was supposed to tell him about it.They were officially a couple now and they're together. Manuel still tried her number and it didn't connect."Boss, I don't think that Mrs Howells is at the studi
The next morning Vanessa woke up with a bad throbbing headache which sent her regretting why she ever went to the club the previous night.After she had managed to wake up, she noticed the man with a cold, yet handsome face glaring at her. Vanessa sat upright on the bed..She had a little memory of what happened the previous night, it made her ashamed of herself. She knew that Manuel was angry at her. His whole face showed it."Here" he extended a mug of coffee to her. Knowing that she woke up with a hangover, coffee was the best remedy for it so he had the coffee prepared in advance.Vanessa wanted to say something to him, she had to apologize for going to a club without telling him and making him worry about it. And she also got into trouble. He had yet again rescued her and Cia."Manuel.. I." "There's absolutely nothing you have to say to me Vanessa. What the hell were you thinking?" He scolded her. She folded herself meekly on the bed as she watched him vent out his anger on her.
Cia soon realized that she shouldn't be touching Adrian, so she withdrew her hands from his bare chest. "I.. I'm sorry " she immediately apologized and wanted to turn away. Adrian grabbed her wrist quickly."Wait" he said briefly, and then a long silence followed. He didn't know the reason why he held her back, maybe he should have just let her go.Adrian was dumbfounded. He then finally knew what to say and he asked. "Are you done with the treatment?" That was the only thing that he could say. He then lowered his face shyly."I'm almost done." Cia stated. She continued with it and after she was done she left the room without saying even a word to him.Adrian felt a bit guilty and he blamed himself for making Ciara uncomfortable around him. He just couldn't control how he felt about her. He wrapped a jacket around himself and he stood up to put on some clothes so that he could resume working. Upon walking towards the wardrobe, he felt his mobile phone vibrate inside his pockets. Ad
