Chapter 127Wyatt had his driver ready a car for Maria.“You looked resplendent by the way.”, Wyatt said as he put an arm around her waist. “Who took you out? That old man?”“I was at a lunch date before your men gunned me down here”“Forgive me, Maria. Didn't I already apologize?”He ran the back of his fingers across her cheek and leaned in. Just then, one of his men came in and whispered to the other at the door. “Mr. Oril?”“Yes?”“The car is ready”“It's time for me to leave, Wyatt”, she said, attempting to withdraw their proximity.“Not even a goodbye kiss?”, he asked, maintaining his hold at her waist. He leaned in and kissed her passionately - their tongues intertwining and superimposing each other. The kiss deepened and Maria's hormones were on rampage, every inch of her body wanted to take him to bed. It had been so long since she did this. Moreover, she didn't have time on her hands for that today.And Eventually, she was going to have to kill the guy. He was a stumbling b
Chapter 128 The investigator walked into the building in casual clothes. He didn't want to attract too much attention wearing his police uniform. He walked up to the receptionist. “Welcome to Skyrock Incorp sir. How may I help you?”, Kally, who was busy punching in some things in her computer said, looking up immediately from the computer screen.“Hey, I'm the investigator and I have an appointment with Mr. Emilio Rodriguez”.“Oh, an appointment..”, she said slowly. She turned to her computer screen, clicking on the soft copy of the schedule.“Uhm, I'm sorry sir. But I don't see your appointment here. I can squeeze you in. What time was the appointment supposed to be scheduled for?”“Right about now”, the investigator said, glancing at his watch.“Okayy..”, Kally said, leaning into her desktop.“Oh okay. Appointment with the investigator by 2.00”, Kally said, reading out the schedule. She gave him a quick glance and returned her eyes to the image on her screen. “Okay. I've verifie
Chapter 129“Come on, Maria. Take a chill pill. Stop trying to be so tough. You know you still got that soft spot for me”, Wyatt said in a groggy, deep voice. Maria said nothing, not wanting to admit to the fact that new feelings had been welling up in her since he reappeared in her life.“So how do you plan on killing the old man and succeeding?”“Leave that to me. I'll have it done and then we can go on with the rest of the plan”“Okay. At least you got the contract through so I think I can believe you when you say, you'll get it done”“I've always been a woman of my words”“Of course. Especially when you attempt to kill them so you don't have to go back on your words”“Exactly. I'll do anything to keep my word”“Well, good luck on that, Maria”“Goodbye”She hung up, consciously taking in air before turning away from the window. Surprisingly, she turned to meet Andrea in the room.“Andrea. Mio figlio. I didn't hear when you entered”, she said, trying not to stutter and reveal her s
Chapter 130“Why should I listen to you now? Huh? Tell me Mother. Why should I trust you now? I know you Mother and I don't think I can believe a word you say”“Please Andrea, I would never lie to you”“But you did! You didn't tell me the truth”“I would have. Eventually. I just wanted to wait for the perfect time. Please Andrea, listen to your mother.”“No! You are supposed to be my mother! You're supposed to inspire me ”“I am your mother! How selfish of you! I've always been your mother. I have gone through hell in this life. Fell in love with an abuser and then I got married to one who's clearly not gotten over his late wife! The moment his son rises from the dead, he throws you into the sidewalk. Is that fair?! Here I am, trying to ensure you get what's rightfully yours and now you are acting all up? I did this for us Andrea! For both of us! Not your father or Vincenzo but me! You think he loves you? He only wants you for the inheritance that Vincenzo doesn't even picture you in
Chapter 131Sofia woke up suddenly, her heart pounding loudly and beads of sweat all over her forehead. Despite the fact that her room was fully air-conditioned, she felt hot and suffocated. She got out of bed and opened the glass door window in her pajamas, going out into her verandah.She tried to calm herself down, stressing desperately to get the thoughts out of her head. She'd had one of those nightmares again. The images of herself pleading for mercy, trying to get away from her molesters and trying to fight back played over and over in her head like a slideshow. An overwhelming shudder came on her and she shook vehemently for a short time. She really needed to see her therapist.She stayed in the verandah for sometime before going back into her room. She slid her fingers over the keypad of her MacBook.3.38 a.mShe still had at least an hour to go before she could even think of preparing for the office. To wile away her time, she decided to run another review of the data analys
Chapter 132Maria held her blue maxi dress up a little so she could walk properly in the unrugged room on the ground floor. She was on the phone, talking in very low whispers. “Yes. I need a box of them.”“Today”“When will I receive the package?”“Oh ok.”“Done”She got off the phone and almost immediately, Andrea walked in. “Mio figlio”, she called to him as he walked towards her. They hugged and she caressed his cheeks as usual.“How are you? Hai dormito bene?( Did you sleep well?)”“Yes mother, I did. How about you?”, Andrea said. His eyes looked a little sore and Maria knew he must have slept very late.“I slept okay mio figlio”, she said, with a short-lived smile.“Quickly, you should go downstairs for breakfast.”“Breakfast?”, He said , glancing at his watch. “Why so early?”“Well you… have a flight.”“A flight? How? I don't remember booking any flight”“Well, I had a flight booked for you. A private one though”“Off to where and why?”“To America.”, Maria said casually, like
Chapter 133*Something as what? Look Wyatt..”“Come on Maria. I know you've missed me. You just keep denying it”He ran two fingers down her long sleeve which had a slit in it, exposing her skin. “Don’t you?”“Wyatt.. I'm… I'm married?”““ Fuck your marriage girl. You know I want you. And you want me too”“Wyatt…”He leaned in and their noses crossed, leading into a passionate kiss. His hands fell down to her waist and his hungry tongue intertwined with hers, the kiss deepening by the second. His hands went to her generous behind and he grabbed one of it, making her jerk a little. Before Maria could call herself to order, she had unbuttoned his shirt and her hands were already on his zipper. He pulled her dress up halfway and carried her to the bedroom, her legs wrapped around his waist and tongues still quite digging into each other's.Wyatt undid the rest of her dress and they ended up on the bed. Maria moaned softly, every part of her body was electrified. She'd missed this part o
Chapter 134In the end, Jerry ended up in Finn's house.Finn woke up to the sound of someone banging the door.“What the.. “It was getting louder and for a moment, it seemed to be coming from his house. It in fact was.“Who the hell is banging at my door that way? In the middle of the freaking night”, Finn said in a groggy voice, still very much sleepy. He dragged himself to get out of bed and walked sluggishly to his front door.“Who the hell is there?!”, He asked, standing just in front.“Bro open up”“Who’s bro?”“It's Jerry man. Open the door man.”“Jerry?” Finn asked in a confused tone. He looked through the manhole and then opened the door. Jerry fell into the house and onto the floor immediately.“Arghh”, Jerry groaned. His head and now his stomach were in pain.“Bro what happened to you? Why do you look like you got beat up on your way?”Finn helped him up and onto the couch. “Uhhh shit”, Jerry groaned, holding his head. “Get me a bandage or something please”“Man… what the
