"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

"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

Arianna sniffled back the tears that threatened to fall off her eyes as those painful and unforgettable memories replayed in her head like a broken disc."I still remember that time. When Rex and I…"She clasped her hands to cover lips as her body trembled violently.Maybe if she didn't go to the hotel that day, Rex wouldn't have proposed to her. She wondered when things began to change between them. Could it be he had always been using her all these yearsShe can clearly remember the time when they both planned to wed.She still remembered his happy face when she said yes. Then the atmosphere was so beautiful and pleasant that she swore not to forget it.It was so pure, lovely, and innocent that she didn't even know a day like this would come when it would be just a 'past'.'All the savings of 5 years gone. I thought that maybe if I saved up along with him, we are going to have the most lavish wedding ever. All our families and friends will come to celebrate with us… our reunion. But w

Martin dropped his phone on the car's seat as he heaved a heavy sigh. "I don't even understand what's going on again. Why did he leave?" Martin questioned himself as he slowly entered the quiet street that leads to his mansion.It was almost 6:56am now, so the day was bright already. He noticed a few people walking out from their estates, probably going to work."Maybe I should call him and ask him where he is?" He thought about this but then his thought drifted towards Ariana's friend, Shirley.Should I ask about them?Nah, I'll call Vincenzo first. I wondered why he left the girl just like that? Doesn't he have a heart?What could be the reason why he left, though?"What is it?" Vincenzo's impatient voice answered immediately the call connected.Martin sighed helplessly then said,"Where are you?"There was silence at the other side of the call. Martin stared at the screen of his phone and noticed that the call was still ongoing."Hello?" He called out."What? Are you my keeper now?

Few hours ago… Vincenzo was reluctant even after the talk between him and Hailey. He wasn't in the mood to answer her, yet. Besides, there was absolutely nothing for them to talk about.So he decided to just ignore her ranting he termed it. Not long after, his phone chimed a message ringtone. He opened it only to see a shocking message. "Lily is hurt, Vincenzo. I need your help real quick!"Vincenzo's heart skipped two beats at what he just saw. He stared at the message sent by Hailey. Why would she send such a message after her disappearance some years back? What the hell does she mean by his sister was hurt? What were they doing together? He remembered warning every one of them to stop associating with Hailey and even if they wish to continue, he shouldn't get involved. Even if it was about his sister, it was still unacceptable because she rightly rejected him and anything that has to do with him. He took a deep breath to control his emotions while at same time, making his way o
