It has been over a month since Lucia began working at the fashion company as the managing director. Occupied by work, Lucia could hardly see Ricardo and also, her dad made him do more jobs. So she had to get used to Rex being her bodyguard even if she didn't like him a bit.After the meeting that day when Lucia exited the meeting room, she came across a familiar man waiting in her office. While she was at the meeting, her secretary informed her about Mr. Matteo's visit which she had already expected to come earlier. They had discussed business on phone so they decided to meet and talk more on it."Miss. Roberto." Matt greeted politely and extended his hands for a handshake.Lucia snubbed his gesture."What do you want?.""A talk with you, business talk." He quickly cuts in."As you can see I was just leaving. We'll reschedule for another day. Here's my card." Lucia handed him a pink card and left hurriedly. In the car, Lucia brought out her phone to make a phone call and the first num

Lucia stood up and ran away quickly, Ricardo did chase after her, he only picked up the pills and went back to the car. Even if Lucia ran, she wouldn't be able to run past a Mercedes. Ricardo drove around and searched for her. Lucia hid beside an apartment, she covered her face with the hood and hid there, hoping that he would pass and not find her, Ricardo was smart enough to look for details. He saw her sitting there, more like hiding.Ricardo got out of the car and went towards her, as Lucia saw him coming, she ran off quickly. Ricardo caught up to her. She was too weak from the dose of pills to run fast. He grabbed her arms and pulled her close."What are you doing? Let go of me!." Lucia demanded harshly."Then I'll report to Mr. Roberto about your addiction." He threatened."Tell him, I don't care." She retorted and pushed him away.Ricardo grabbed her again and this time, he carried her on his shoulders and headed towards the car. Lucia kicked and fought but Ricardo succeeded in

Lucia arrived with Renee in his home, Rex decided that he would wait in the car till she was done with Renee. Lucia helped Renee arrange the stuff they got in the kitchen and he volunteered to cook for them. Lucia sucked at cooking and he knew. While he cooked, Lucia sat and watched him in the kitchen. Renee didn't allow her to do anything even when she volunteered to help him."I wouldn't want you to cut your fingers or ruin your acrylics." He said,"Oh that doesn't matter, I'll just get another done." Lucia explained."No, I won't let you stress yourself. Just sit here and watch me perform magic. Trust me, I'll do just fine." Renee led her to the chair and made her sit.He adjusted the apron on his waist and continued chopping his vegetables and at the same time stirring the soup. "So, what are we having tonight?.""I don't know, I saw the recipe online but it's trusted and I'm sure that you'll love it. It's definitely not an Italian dish." He revealed."Oh, it's not? Then I guess

"Miss Roberto?" "Lucia" She heard Ricardo call out and she suddenly regained herself.Lucia was caught up in her own imagination. From where she stood, Ricardo was far away from her. He didn't even attempt to come near her. Everything was just her imagination."What happened to you?" Ricardo asked curiously and he tried to approach her."No, don't come near me. Stay where you are" she instantly rebuked him."Are you alright?""I'll come meet you downstairs, please leave" Lucia said to him.Ricardo stared at her for a moment before he walked out of the room.Lucia instantly went to lock the door."Lucia, what is wrong with you? Why do I keep on having these silly imaginations?" She scolded herself as she rushed to put her clothes on.She realized that Ricardo had dry-cleaned them which meant that he was the one who changed her clothes. Lucia was caught up in her wild fantasies that she didn't realize that it was Ricardo's shirt she wore when she woke up. Everything seemed so strange

Lucia was in her room crying, feeling guilty over her father's health condition. She never thought that things would turn out this way. If she did, she wouldn't have done it. Even though Don Roberto hurt her, she never wished for him to fall sick.Lucia badly wanted someone to talk to, she had expected Ricardo to come in after everything but he didn't even come to check up on her. She was somehow angry at him and at the same time she didn't blame him. Everyone was disappointed at her and she was tagged as a bad daughter. Soon, she changed from the dress and left her room. Lucia wanted to go find Ricardo and talk to him. She expected everyone to judge her except for him.As she stepped out of her room, she noticed Marco sneaking around the corridor leading to her father's study and she followed him stealthily.Meanwhile, Ricardo was still inside the study and he was yet to find anything. This time, he opened the automatic metal detector compass and faced it towards different angles of
