The next morning/the old mansion
Trey finished his breakfast and left for work. On the way to the office, his cell phone started ringing, he checked the caller ID to see Valerieās name, and a tender smile braced his lips.āValerie, what's wrong?ā He asked.āIāve missed you, I want to see you,ā Valerie said in her sweet gentle voice. Trey smiled and told her heād come and pick her up in half an hour. He asked his driver to change route to Valerieās apartment.After ending the call, he called his private secretary and canceled all his appointments till the afternoon, and asked her to book a suite at the LEISUREQ hotel and send him the details.ā©In 30 minutes, his car was parked inside the parking lot of Valerieās apartment. In a few minutes, she came walking out of the elevator. Treyās bodyguard opened the car for her.āThank you,ā Valerie said entering the car. Trey scowled angrily.āWhat happened?ā Valerie asked, noticing Treyās expression.ā©āNothingā he answered dismissively, making a mental note to teach that bodyguard a lesson for smiling and admiring his girlfriend.ā©The car stops at the LEISUREQ hotel underground parking lot within 30 minutes later.LEISUREQ Hotel is one of the many hotels owned by Trey. But he decided on a regular suite today to avoid news spreading of him taking a mistress to his penthouse.Yeah, as much as it angered him, he couldnāt deny the fact that his grandfather, parents, and everyone in Pearl City knew of his marriage.ā©Trey helps Valerie out and they walk into the hotel through the private door into the lobby. As they were halfway to the elevator Valerie tripped. Trey quickly caught her, and helped her into the elevator, as they both smiled at each other.When the elevator door closed, he immediately carried Valerie in a bride style.ā©On reaching their suite, he headed straight to the bedroom and sat her on the bed. It had been a week since they last saw each other, he was dying to taste her lips. But he has to attend to her leg first.He stood up to get an ointment and apply her feet after massaging it, but Valerie held onto his hand stopping him.āI want you Trey, I want you to make love to me, pleaseā¦, weāve been dating for 4 years now why wonāt you make love to me?ā Valerie asked with despair visible in her eyes.He watched as she kept biting her lower lips, he had to stop himself from reaching out to pull her lip out of her teeth.ā©āI love you very much, Valerie.ā He lowered his head to her, then took her lips in his as they shared a passionate kiss. He pushed her gently onto the bed.āI need you, Valerie.ā He murmured into her mouth, as his hand cupped her breast, kneading it, while his other hand caressed her hips moving down towards her thigh, but halted abruptly when he heard the voice of Lisaās frail voice.He quickly sat up. What the fuck was she doing here? He didnāt want her to know about his relationship with Valerie yet.He wanted to divorce her before coming to light about their relationship. Everything unfolds so quickly, that Lisa slaps him, which he finds amusing.But then, she laid her hand on Valerie, he couldnāt watch someone hurt his love, he didnāt mind when she slapped him, but Valerie, he couldnāt just let it slide before he knew it, he slapped her out of reflex. But this foolish and breathtaking woman just wouldnāt stop, and slapped his woman once again. He had to teach her not to mess with him, so he ended up hitting her again, his heart felt hurt both times he laid his hand on her, but feigned nonchalance. When he could no longer stand her tears, he walked away with Valerie.ā©Trey took Valerie back to her apartment and apologized to her about what happened with Lisa.āDonāt worry about what happened, Iāve already given her the divorce papers to sign. Soon I will be waking up to your beautiful face every morning.ā He kissed her passionately.āI love you,ā Valerie said sweetly.āI love youā¦ā Trey said, she smiled and got out of the car walking towards the elevator. She turned and waved at Trey sweetly. Trey smiled back at her, then turned ahead, straightened up in the seat, fitting his suit.ā©āTo the office,ā Trey said, his tone back to its usual coldness.āYes sir.ā-/GOLDEN HEIGHTS CORPORATION/-The next afternoon.ā©Trey stared at his laptop as his secretary, Lucy explained the presentation for a project to him. His phone rings.āBreak for lunch.ā He said dismissing her.āThank you, sir,ā Lucy said walking out of the office.āNathan? What do you want?ā He said the moment he connected the call.āI donāt only call you when I need help dude.ā Nathan chuckledāOkay, so why did you call?ā Trey questioned.āLet's have lunch, I already invited Kelvin,ā Nathan said.ā©āOkay. Let's meet at Trixmax in 15 minutes then.ā Trey said, hanging up the call. Trixmax is his favorite restaurant, their menu has the best foods. He used to take Lisa but stopped when he and Valerie made up.ā©He arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later asking his bodyguards to stand back.Trey is a fierce man who can take down 20 men at a time, he doesnāt need his bodyguards following him wherever he goes, but his grandfather declined to his decision.āYou donāt know when an enemy will attack.ā Heāll say.He joined his friends at their table. They ordered and the food and wine were delivered. They ate and talked about business strategies, stock prices, investments, and projects they should invest in.ā©āLisa..?ā His friend Nathan called. He paused and listened, in case his earring was wrong.āNathan..ā he heard her speak, sheās indeed here, he smiled. Stunned by his own emotions. But his mood changed when he heard her say that.āIf I knew it was you guys, I would not have approached.ā That phrase.ā©How dare she say that he thought angrily. Lisa belongs to him, so long as heās still her husband. He stared at her angrily. He retained his anger and focused on their conversation. But when Lisa said,āThere are situations sheād rather avoidā and was glad to meet Kelvin and Nathan but not him!? he knew her words were meant for him, and it did hurt him. So he retorted back to make her know just how her words hurt him. Even though she was looking awesomely tempting now.āYou have 5 days left to sign the papers and...āā© She didnāt let him finish his statement when she said.āIāve already signed it, and I marked out the alimony, I donāt need your money, Treyā¦, I married you not because of your money,ā she sighed āI married you because I love you.āā©āI donāt love you, Lisa,ā He said to spite her.ā© āSame here, I used to love you, but I donāt anymore, all I feel for you is pure hatred, nothing else.ā But the way she was quick to retort back, made him angrier, how could she not love him?When she said that, it took every fiber in him to not stand up and carry her home and fuck her till she cannot walk the next morning.āWhat the heck is wrong with him? Is he regretting letting her go? He hates Lisa. Itās Valerie he loves. He should be happy, he's finally rid himself of Lisa.ā He thought.ā©āTreyā¦ does that mean you guys are divorced? She already signed it?ā Kelvin asked.āAnd you were a witness,ā Trey answered sarcastically. His heart was on the verge of Bursting out of his chest.āDude, Why didnāt you talk to us about it? you sure you want to let her go, Lisa is one in a million, if you lose her it would be hard to find her.ā Nathan advice.āYeah, you better think twice before letting go of such a woman, like Lisa,ā Kelvin added.Already, Trey was contemplating whether to run after Lisa or let her go.āFuck!ā He cursed hoarsely, as realization dawned on him. As much as he hated Lisa, his body always had a strong reaction to her, he could make love with her, and even though he always denied it, he always enjoyed every moment, a strange nostalgia, he found weird, that letting her go would mean him going back to his old ways, one he quit when he had intimacy with Lisa.But listening to his confidantes now, he was sure he wants Lisa in his life, fuck all revenge.ā© He quickly stood up and ran out of the restaurant. His bodyguards standing at the door upon noticing their boss, became alert.ā©āBoss..?ā they said in unison, staring at their boss in confusion.āWhere is she?ā He growled, looking around the parking lot.āWhereās Lisa!!?āāSir madam left a few minutes ago. She also left home early at dawn with her bags to her old apartment.ā Brad explained.āWhy didnāt you fucking stop her!!?ā He barked.āSir...? You.. asked her to leave,ā Brad said, dumbfounded by his bossās attitude. Trey passes his hand roughly through his hair. ā©āGo bring her back home, and do it right this instant!ā Trey roared in a domineering tone, making Brad and his colleagues shiver.Trey strode to his car, entered the driverās seat, and sped off ignoring the calls of his friends, driver, and bodyguards.ā© -/Country B/-ā©ā©Three weeks later.ā©After standing on her feet for the last 6 hours operating on a patient with a brain tumor, Lisa walked out of the operating door, feeling exhausted and famished. She disposed of her blood-stained gloves and mask into the red infectious bin, then turned to leave.ā©āYou were extraordinary in there Dr Lynn, the surgery was successful.ā Susan, her assistant nurse, said coming out of the operating room.ā©āThanks, you were a good help. But I donāt consider a surgery successful till my patient wakes up.ā Lisa said with a smile.ā©āThank you, Dr Lynn,ā Susan said.ā©āYouāre welcome, call me Lisa, Dr. Lynn makes me feel old, Iām only 21,ā Lisa said.ā©āI will, Lisa..?ā They both laugh. ā©āOur shift ended 2 hours ago so, I will leave first, see you tomorrow,ā Susan said with a wave as she walked away. Lisa waved back with a āSureāā©Lisa walked to her private office and showered. When coming out of the bathroom, she suddenly felt dizzy.She supported herself on
Lisa decided to leave work early, to go home and check on her patient who still hasnāt regained consciousness. She said goodbye to nurse Susan and went down to the lobby to sign out. After signing out, she went to the parking lot for her car and left the hospital. When she arrived at her apartmentās underground parking lot, she noticed 4 black alligator SUVs. She felt there was something suspicious and strange about it, nonetheless, she put it at the back of her mind and walked towards the lobby. ā©āGood afternoon,ā Lisa greeted the elevator attendant the moment she entered the elevator. āGood afternoon Miss Lynn,ā He responded as he pressed the floor number, the elevator closed and started to ascend.As the elevator ascended, Lisa noticed the elevator attendant kept stealing glances at her as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant about it, however, since he was not able to tell her whatever it was, she wouldnāt inquire about it. When the elevator arrived on the fifth flo
-/Country A/-ā© Golden heights corporation ā©Meanwhile, in an office on the hundredth floor of Golden Heights Corporation, Trey Collins stares blankly at the vast ocean view through the glass wall of his enormous office. With a fierce look on his face, if thereās one thing that riled him, itās when things donāt go his way.He turns around to face his three highly skilled efficient bodyguards, who were able to retrieve a needle when dropped into the vast sea, but were standing in front of him, repeating the same bullshit!ā©Baam!! ā©The three men gazed up nervously, then hastily retracted their gaze down, feeling weak in the leg at the sound of a hand slammed on the desk in front of them.ā©āIt been 3 weeks, 3 f*cking weeks and youāre fucking telling me you havenāt found her? Why the hell do I pay you when you can't even find a single, frail womanās whereabouts!? Huh!!ā Trey asked sternly, his expression darkened into a venomous glare. āYou have a week to find out wherever sheās hiding,
āI want to show you something.ā Don Antonio said as he took steady steps towards Lisa, deliberately not to frighten her more than she already was. Considering Lisaās silence and calmed demeanor as an indication to proceed, he started to unbutton his shirt, as he undid the buttons, his eyes remained fixed on Lisaās face, ready to stop if there was a slight form of uneasiness from her. Since there wasnāt any, he opened it to show her his bandage chest.āDid you do this?ā He asked in a gentle tone.āOh my God!.. ā Lisa uttered, her eyes widened as her hand flew to her mouth as realization dawned on her, and then she frowned. āIt was you, no wonder I thought you looked familiar, you bastard!!ā Lisa yelled angrily. Matteo and Timothy who were standing outside the door heard Lisa calling the boss a bastard, they started to feel pity for her, for offending the boss, now there was no way she could escape the bossās wrath.āYou pointed a gun at a person who saved your life!? I knew I should
āIs she alright?ā Don Antonio asked Susan who just walked out of Lisaās room.āYeah.., she has fallen asleep,ā Susan muttered. She approached the sofa to sit but became hesitant, she heard that Don has a disorder, he doesnāt like women around him, not to mention touch him, and it got her wondering how he was able to carry Lisa earlier. She remained standing in front of the sofa, as she fidgeted with her fingers. Antonio who was replying to a message on his phone, realized the space beside him was empty, then looked up at the woman who was standing still, with an expression he couldnāt decipher. āWhy is she standing,ā he thought Susan was approaching to sit, but it had been a few minutes now, but he didnāt feel the sofa dip, and since he was busy with his phone, he just remembered she wasnāt seated beside him. He looked up at Susan.āAre you going to stand there?ā He questioned.āIā¦ um, umm youāre sick.ā She replied, staring down at her feet, still playing with her fingers. āIām sic

Please skip it if it makes you uncomfortable, it does not contain any major plot.***The moment Don Antonio sat in the back of his car at Lisaās apartment underground parking lot, all traces of the man from earlier disappeared, being replaced with a stern, fierce-looking man.āGo to the base.ā The intensity of his voice causes the temperature inside the car to drop abruptly. Matteo who was seated at the passengerās seat shivered. As his bossās personal bodyguard, he has noticed the change in his bossās aura.āYes, boss.ā Marco, his driver, replied.About an hour later, the line of cars stopped in front of a high-end Club Casino Hotel in the central part of country B. Matteo got down and immediately opened the door for his boss. Don Antonio walked with long strides into the building followed by a few of his men, whilst the others remained guard at the entrance with the many bodyguards who were already stationed. H
Back in Lisaās apartment, Susan after checking up on Lisa in her bedroom, decided to prepare some food and tidy up the kitchen and living room to beat time, since she had nothing to do but to sit idly around feeling bored.After about an hour and a half time, Susan was done with cleaning, she proceed to the kitchen to begin cooking, she started by chopping the vegetables, then blended some onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes, then placed the saucepan on the stove, and poured some oil, just when she was about to add the blended onions, garlic, and ginger, the doorbell began to ring, she turned the knob on the stove off, but since she was in a hurry, she turned the knob downwards instead. She went to the door to check who it was.āHello, how may I help you?ā Susan asked the delivery man standing outside the door holding a bouquet of white lilies.āIs this Miss Lynnās apartment?ā The delivery guy asked and Susan nodded.āOkay, I was asked to deliver this bouquet here, please sign here.ā
When Don Antonio stepped out of the elevator on the fourth floor, he saw his consigliere already seated inside his office, he smirked.āWelcome back,ā his consigliere said, spreading out his arms wide to welcome Antonio with a hug. They embraced each other as Lucas said, āI thought weād lost you, man.ā He patted Antonio on the back as they broke the hug, Antonio walked to the other side of the desk taking a seat on his black high-back swivel chair.āI have to meet this woman who saved your life. We're in debt to her. I really canāt explain how delighted I was when you called me to send some men over and a change of clothes. I wanted to come personally, but we had a situation in the cells,ā Lucas said. Don Antonio leaned back against his seat, looking as if he was deep in thought. āWere they Faustoās men?ā Antonio asked. āTheyāve refused to speak,ā Lucas said, taking a deep breath, Antonio nodded.āWhat about the information I asked you to get,ā Lucas nodded, taking a seat on the cha
