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
Chapter 135Wyatt's Cadillac Celestiq pulled up in front of the building while the SUV containing three of his bodyguards pulled over behind him. The doorman of SkyRock Incorp got the door for Wyatt and he came out, his sharp Ray Ban sunglasses shielding his eyes from the hot sun. Wyatt adjusted his collar, staring at the immensely large and tall building. He pushed his hands into his pocket and waited for his bodyguards to arrange themselves. Tagging behind him, they walked up the stairs leading into the entrance of the building. Wyatt stopped for a second to look around, nodding his head at the impressive architecture of the place.“Not bad”, he said to himself. Taking his eyes off the ceiling, he put his glass back on. “Let's get to business, shall we?”His bodyguards nodded and they went over to the receptionist who'd been staring in awe at them. Meanwhile, Wyatt took his seat on one of the empty single armchairs.“Good day sirs. What can I…”“My boss has an appointment with you
Chapter 136“Rodriguez? That explains”Asher smiled. “Well, I guess”“Let me guess. You are Mr. Vincenzo's nephew?”“Oh no. I'm his son.”“Son?”, Wyatt asked just to be clear he heard well. His surprise got the best of him and it showed all over his face.“Yes Mr. Wyatt. You sound surprised”“I wasn't… I wasn't informed that Mr. Vincenzo had another son”“Well, there's a bit of a story to it.”, Asher said, pausing momentarily before remembering that he was on his way somewhere.“Anyways, I have another meeting now Mr. Wyatt. It was nice meeting you. Have a nice day”Wyatt nodded, a rather confused expression still on his face. As the elevators slid open into the reception, Wyatt still wondered in his head about Emilio. If he thought he hadn't heard right or had been hallucinating a bit, the card confirmed his doubts.“Emilio Rodriguez.. CEO Skyrock Incorp, America”Maybe Emilio was just adopted or perhaps he was even a bastard son.. But then Maria would have told him. So why had she k
