Matteo doesn't want to lie to Hera. He never wanted to. But he doesn't want to lose her either. One thing is clear here. The truth cannot be hidden forever. Especially not to the people we love. Hera is trusting him so much that he doesn't want to keep her in the dark anymore. He knows she loves him and he has shown how much he loves her as well. He wished for some more time, but this is unavoidable. "I love you with every fiber of my being, baby girl. Remember this when you take any actions after this" he cautioned her. Deep down, Hera knows that this day is going to be marked as the day that their lives are going to change forever. She just wish that these changes are for the good and not for the bad. "I am a mafia man, a Boss to be precise" he confessed. No amount of pep talk prepared Hera for this. She felt like the ground under her feet shook violently and she stumbled a little. When he tried to hold her, she moved out of his reach. Her childhood with Fredrick began to flash
In a private hospital in Chicago, Matteo woke up after one week in a hospital. He blinked his eyes repeatedly to clear his blurry eyes. "Ahh..." he groaned as he registered pain. Hera who refused to leave his side for the past one week sighed with relief when Matteo gained his conscience. "Matt, how are you feeling? Here, sip some water" she offered him water. But he refused to accept the water given by her. "Who are you? Where am I?" he sat up and pupped the needles and wires from his arms. Hera is shocked by his words. She gave him a shaky smile. "Matt, you are jocking, right?" She asked with anxiety. Matt gave her a once over. He couldn't recall who she is. A section of his mind feel blank. But he didn't mind it as long as his work is not disturbed. All he remembers is removing Fredrick as the boss for working behind his back. But he didn't remember all the full details of his conversation with Fredrick. There are gaps that he is unable to recall. "Listen, you look young
In the restaurant when Hera is working, there is a dress code to be followed by the waitresses. It's a tight white shirt and a short skirt that only reaches till upper thighs. A white apron is tied around the waist.Her immediate boss, who is the floor manager of the restaurant is a womanizer. He keeps touching the female staff inappropriately whenever he gets a chance. Hera always evades his touch and try not to be alone in the changing rooms."Hera, today our manager assigned you to take care of the private cabin number 2" the head waitress instructed Hera.Hera nodded mutely and left in the direction of the cabin to take their order. On the other hand, Matteo is sitting in a private cabin in a restaurant. He is talking bussiness with a few people."Mr Gonsalves, your girlfriend is really beautiful" one of them commented. His gaze is fixed on Sussane's clevage.Sussane smiled coyly.But Matteo is irritated. He doesn't like the perfume she wears, or her dressing style. He never felt
"Do we know eachother" he asked, while his gaze still lingering on the birthmark. Hera froze. Hope blossomed in her heart. She wanted to say 'Yes' but stopped herself from doing that.'Dont try to remind him anything ' she remembered the doctor's words. She bit her tongue and swollowed her words. Matteo touched the mole, which made her gasp. Her eyes watered again. She missed his touch so much. She leaned closer, unintentionally. Matteo picked up the napkins and began to clean her gently. After he is done, he removed his jacket and wrapped around her. He leaned closer, and took a deep breath. Her scent which is so familiar, at the same time foreign. It hit his senses hard. "I know you" he whispered.Hera began to get tensed.'He is trying to remember me. It's not good for him' she began to get worried."I saw you in the hospital that day. It was you isn't it?" he asked her.She sighed with relief and gave him a jerky nod."I have to go" she wanted to stay with him, but that will o
That night, Matteo felt happy that she agreed to come. Even if she didn't, he is sure he would have kidnapped her here by force. He knows that it is wrong. But for some reason he is obsessed over her strongly. He doesn't even know her name untill a few hours ago. But the urge to possess her and make her his is so strong that he is unable to control it. He never faced this uncomfortable urge before. He always used to pride himself for his self-restraint. But Hera is like a Trump card that made him realise that he can force a woman as well. He walked inside his bed room, as anticipation bubbled inside him. He paused when he saw her standing in the middle of his room with a blank face. She is looking at the floor. But when she heard the door being opened she raised her head and looked at me. Her gaze met his, and his heart began to pound in his chest. Her eyes are looking at him with an unknown emotion. He wanted to reach out and hug her. But that would only complecate things further.
The next morning, Hera woke up in the familiar room wrapped up in the arms of the man whom she loves more than herself. He is still sleeping, but she got used to waking up early. She began working in a cafe as a barista. She has to report at Five thirty in the morning and open the cafe by six after cleaning. Her shift ends at nine, just in time to attend her first class. She is half lying on top of him and he has a death hold around her. But after two months, this is the first time she slept peacefully. She looked at the time. She woke just in time to shower and leave for work. She tried to untangle herself from him, but his eyes snapped open."Where are you going?" he demanded.He doesn't want her to go anywhere. Holding her like this and sharing a bed with her feel natural. The ache in his chest is no more, and he feel content.Hera gave him a tight smile. She doesn't know how to behave with him."I have to report to work by 5.30" she explained.Matteo looked at the time. It's alr
In Matteo's office, he can't seems to keep his mind off Hera. Her parted lips and the sounds she made when she came are making him hard for her. He is beginning to feel like that she has done some kind of witchcraft over him and he became her slave. He is trying hard not to let his mind wander towards her. But he is failing miserably. His gaze kept going to his watch, looking at the time. She will be home by five, and he want her again. This time he wanted to possess her completely.His assistants knock on the door gave him a moment of reprive from her thoughts."What is it Nova?" he asked.Nova noticed that his boss is in a better mood today.Nova is not very happy to announce the arrival of Sussane. But he cannot tell his boss that she is a viper either. He remembered how she walked inside the Gonsalves Villa on the day their boss was discharged from the hospital. She was so cunning that she arrived just a few minutes before their boss's car was estimated to arrive. She blackmailed
Hera is in the university library. She has to complete an assignment which she forgot about. With everything that is going on in her life, she couldn't seems to concentrate on any thing.An open book is sitting in front of her, but her mind is not on the work she is supposed to submit the next day. Her mind kept wandering to Matteo. Her emotions are all over the place. He confessed that he is feeling good when she is with him. But the worry about his health kept eating at her. She is not willing to risk his life, but at the same time she cannot refuse to stay with him either. Both the options will trouble him. 'Please dear God, keep my Matt safe' she begged the almighty to protect the man she loves more than herself.It's six in the evening and only a handful of students are sitting here and there in the vast library. It's quiet as everyone are doing their thing. Olivia had some work, so she left early. Carlos and Kyle have their football practice. So she is sitting alone. As she co
