He knew he shouldn't have gotten angry over what just happened but he just lost it. Maybe it was due to the earlier emotions she was having seeing her sad over her ex-fiancee. Vincenzo had just finished calming himself down. He didn’t want to believe that she could aggravate him that easily. He raked his hair and went back outside to check up on her, he wasn’t going to apologize.Heck! he didn’t plan to. All he wanted to do was check up on her arrogant self."Ariana? What did-""Help… me… " Voice cut off by gulps managed to say as Ariana managed to keep herself afloat for but a second or so. His heart skipped a thousand times before his brain accessed what was going on before him. Without waiting another second, he rushed toward the pool in a flash. As soon as he got close to the pool, he jumped inside without a thought to how soaked his clothes would be.His attention was on the drowning Ariana. He grabbed her waist and lifted her out of the water. It was obvious she had gulped a
"I could have you for breakfast…"The words left his mouth before he could stop it. How on earth does a full-grown woman putting on a thigh-length t-shirt which had two buttons loosened, thereby exposing a perfect pale skin of cleavage and perfectly luscious lips… could ever be someone's breakfast? Or could she? He wasn't a pervert, that's what he kept telling himself as his eyes scanned the temptation before him. She was a fucking ticking bomb as his eyes never left her body. He saw her.He saw how the water dripped from her hair to her shoulders. She had the towel on her head, she looked away and kept on rubbing it to make it dry while her lips were being caressed by her tongue.Vincenzo had his eyes on her. He had no idea that his shirt could look so sexy and hot. He never imagined that’s how she would look when she had it on. He couldn’t help but notice how pretty she looked, the water enhanced her look and made her more beautiful than she naturally was. He saw how pretty and
Ariana was dumbstruck at his behavior. She believed they were not that close for him to be so benevolent toward her. Besides, she doesn't want any strings attached to their contract.Her gaze swept through the packages around the room. Why would her boss buy her clothes just because hers was wet?She had made up her mind not to be emotionally or financially linked to Vincenzo more than she was already indebted. All she needed from him was his connection to deal with Rex. Ariana still had the seven million dollar debt she had to pay him and now he was buying her expensive clothes to put on. No, she wasn't going to accept it and she was going to do what she came to do here.The contract signing, so her revenge could begin.But then she thought that refusing him could make him angry. Not that she cared for him, she just doesn't want anything ruining the contract. So, Ariana went toward one of the bags.She was going to chose just one to put on. The rest could be sent back to the shop. S
Staring at the man almost choking on his wine, Ariana knew her words were a little too straightforward. She was desperate, that was the exact feeling eating her up. Rex was molding her into what she never believed she could be."Will you marry me tomorrow, Vincenzo Alberto?" Ariana repeated, clenching her teeth. She was being shameless but it was the key to her revenge.She wasn't marrying him because of love. She was going to marry him because of her eagerness to make things rough! She was also surprised at herself for suggesting they get married the next day but she didn't regret it. Ariana wanted the revenge done as soon as possible. Those people were like leeches to her, sucking every inch of her blood leaving her piping with indescribable anger."Why the sudden change?" Vincenzo brought her back to reality.If there was one certain thing about this lady before him, that would be the fact that she was in a traumatic state according to Martins. If she was, could her eagerness to g
Walking right back to where she was, Vincenzo decided to ignore Ariana's stubbornness and start making arrangements for the emergency wedding. As much as it was a contract, he wouldn't want to let her regret anything.He was willing to make today her dream wedding even if he wasn't the dream man she wanted. He knew she won't easily forget the man she hated but he could be the man for her just for today.He brought out his phone to place another call. He talked for a while before placing another call to Martin. "I hope all the arrangements have been taken care of?"" Vince, I am a doctor not your personal assistant! How do you expect me to come running to you from my precious laboratory just to cater to your personal issues that was supposed to be handled by your personal assistant?" Martin ranted over the phone." Then you wouldn't mind sponsoring your precious lab by yourself, do you?" Vincenzo asked, calmly." I have already made all the arrangements to give you and your emergency
"Let go of me, you are hurting me!" Arianna screamed, her fingers wrapped against his cold grip as she tried to free her hands off. Vincenzo didn't give her time to think straight as he continued pulling her forcefully, then pulled her to the wall. His right held her two hands up as his left hand trailed along her jawline."What are you doing? Let go of me right now." She said firecely and he smirked evily."How many times will you repeat that words, Ariana?" He asked, his cold and void of any emotion.A deep frown crossed her petite face and she leaned forward, her face just an inch away from him."As much as I can and not until you tell me a good reason why you dragged me out from the kitchen like that? It's not like I bothered you or anything," She said, stubbornly.He smiled and then curled her hair with his jaw clenched tightly. He wished he could drag her to the bed right now and punish her so much that her mouth would no longer run stubbornly.It would only scream his name all
A buzzing sound reverberated around the pink looking room. There was a groan and series of grunts coming from the person on the bed. Like a disturbance, Shirley hit her hand repeatedly on the bed. "Hum?... Who's calling by this time of the hour? Don't you sleep?" She groaned, eyes still closed as her left hand stretched out from the blanket searching for the buzzing phone.She wanted to rest as it was her day off. Besides, she truly needed her beauty sleep after all the ruckus with Ariana. "Where's it?" Shirley groaned, as her hand tapped around and then she held the phone and dragged it towards her. Without checking the ID number, she picked the call.Still a little angry at being disturbed or rather deprived of her beauty sleep at 12pm!"Hello?" She asked, yawning. She turned to her left and turned on the bedroom lamp. Her eyes glanced at the clock and she saw that it was past 12pm already.What the fuck! Did she actually sleep all through the morning?"Miss Shirley, I am sendin
"Oh my god! What the hell!" She said, holding her beating heart. A bright headway light had took a turn from the opposite direction, heading towards her. She had watched as it made way towards her but was too flustered about Ariana to think it could be the car that came to pick her up. She simply brushed it off as she was still deep in thoughts.And just when she was about to make her way back home, the fucking car honk so loudly that her heart almost left her chest. Funny how it was the exact time Vincenzo said. Did he have a tracker in the car? Shirley turned to the sound still mumbling. At that moment, her phone buzzed. She picked it, and placed it slowly on her ear as she stared at the car nervously."Your ride is there. Do not waste time," He said coldly then hung up the call.Rude! That's what she wanted to say but then she rolled her eyes and somehow she began to pity her friend. How could Ariana live with such a iceberg? Although Vincenzo was very nice, it was still pitiful
