Chapter 106

"What do you mean, your dad?" Dolores stuttered.

"He has been calling me for a while now, but I never told you about it," Mimi said.

Dolores let out a breath. "Why....why didn't you tell me?"

"I am telling you now,"

Dolores furrowed her brows.

"But if you don't accept my relationship with Lucas or you go ahead and tell Mario about us, I will go back to my dad, and you will never see me again." Mimi threatened with all seriousness.

"You can't be serious,"

"I mean it."

"Mimi, you can't....."

"Goodnight, mum," Mimi retorted, walking out of the room.

Dolores let out a breathless scoff as she walked towards her bed and sat on it.

"She can't be serious, right? She can't be."

IN PALOMA'S ROOM....

Paloma furrowed her brows as she stared at Liliana as she got up from the couch, moved towards the door, opened it slightly and peeped out.

Paloma scoffed. "What the...."

Liliana closed the door and let out a sigh.

"Okay, what is wrong?" Paloma asked, making Liliana look at her.

"What?"

"Why are you peeping out the door like that? Who are you looking for?" Paloma asked.

Liliana shrugged. "Nothing,"

Paloma gave her a look. "Really?"

"Yeah,"

"Alright, since you say nothing, come to bed," Paloma said.

"Okay, I am going, geez" Liliana said, walking towards the bed and getting on it.

Paloma stared at her.

"I need to go to the bathroom," Liliana said, moving to get out of bed but....

"Liliana," Paloma called, making her freeze.

"What in God's name is going on with you?" Paloma asked.

Liliana heaved a sigh.

"Out with it." Paloma urged.

"Fine. Remember when the lady's sister talked about the boss sleepwalking whenever he drinks?" Liliana asked.

Paloma furrowed her brows. "You mean the owner of the house?"

"No. His son."

"Oh. Yeah I think I did. What has that got to do with your restlessness?" Paloma asked.

"He drank tonight, and I think he is going to sleep, walk out of the room again and probably walk towards the stairs and fall. We don't want that, do we?" Liliana asked.

Paloma raised her brows.

"And Camilla, who is with him, doesn't care at all about that. All she cares about is his dick," Liliana added, rolling her eyes.

Paloma scoffed, looking away. "This is serious."

Liliana stared at her fingers as Paloma looked at her.

"Okay, let me understand this. You are peeping out the door to check if you will find him sleepwalking so you can do what?" Paloma asked, making Liliana look at her.

Paloma raised her brows.

"Help him?" Liliana said, sounding like a question.

Paloma scoffed in disbelief.

"I mean, I have helped him before. It is not a big deal," Liliana said, shrugging.

"Really?" Paloma asked.

"Yeah."

Paloma stared at her weirdly.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Liliana asked.

"Do you have feelings for him?" Paloma asked.

Liliana furrowed her brows. "For who?"

"The boss, Mario."

Liliana scoffed, letting out a chuckle. "Don't be ridiculous, Paloma. What are you thinking? I am just concerned. He is our boss. It is our duty as maids to watch over our boss."

Paloma nodded. "Yeah right. It is our duty to take care of the house, not look after the bosses. Whatever they do to themselves is none of our business," Paloma said, lying properly on the bed.

Liliana stared at her fingers, processing what Paloma had said earlier.

"Can you please turn off the lights or do you still want to go babysit?" Paloma asked.

Liliana gave her a look.

"Go on," Paloma urged.

Liliana heaved a sigh, shaking her head slightly as she reached for the nightstand and switched off the lights.

"Thank you. Now go to sleep and stop worrying about a man who is literally digging into that obsessed witch's pussy as we speak," Paloma said, lying on her side.

"Trust me when I say he will not sleepwalk tonight. She got him busy. We ladies need to learn self-respect. I did." Paloma added, closing her eyes.

Liliana laid properly, staring at the dark. She recalled the first time she took Mario into his room.

The way her heart raced when she stared at him and also the way she felt when she saw him in nothing but the towel wrapped around his waist.

Could it be.....

She shook her head, trying to discard the thought.

She doesn't have feelings for him. She has just being the caring and devoted worker that she is.

Yes.

That is it.

NEXT DAY.....

ADRIAN'S ROOM.....

"How long will you be away?" Candela asked Adrian, who had just walked out of the bathroom, dripping wet and having a white towel wrapped around his waist.

She is currently seated on the edge of the bed, her legs crossed, and she is dressed in her black robe that has her cleavage out to any eyes.

"A few days," Adrian said, walking towards the walk-in closet.

Candela felt the tingle in between her legs as she stared at him.

She got on her feet and walked towards the walk-in closet.

Adrian was going through his clothes for something to wear.

"What is the trip about?" Candela asked, standing at the entrance door and folding her hands.

"Business," he said without looking at her.

"Can I come with you?" She asked.

"If you wish," he said, still without looking at her.

"Is it just business?" she asked.

He didn't respond as he took out his shoes.

"Are we going to have some time together?" she asked.

"I suggest you just stay here. You and I know you hate business," he said, staring at one of his shirts.

She scoffed, looking away. She looked back at him, staring at his body.

She unfolded her hands and took slow steps towards him. She got closer to him and wrapped her hands around him from behind.

Adrian froze momentarily but took out his shirt.

Candela inhaled his scent, closing her eyes as she held him tighter.

"Why don't we have some fun before you leave? I heard pleasure helps prepare you for business," she said, smirking happily.

He turned to her, making her release him as she stared at him.

She reached for her robe and took it off, exposing her full breasts to his eyes.

He stared at her blankly.

She bit her lips seductively.

"I'll pass," he said, making her face twitch.

"I am running late," he said, walking past her and towards the room.

Candela let out a scoff, clenching her jaw as she put on her robe.

ALONG THE HALLWAY......

Mimi walked along the hallway dressed in a red crop top and jeans. She got to Lucas' room and reached to knock on the door, but it opened, Manuel.

Her smile fell.

"Mimi, hey," Manuel said, smiling at her.

"Manuel," she said.

"You look gorgeous this morning," he said, admiring her attire.

She chuckled uncomfortably.

"Thanks. Is Lucas in?" She asked, making his smile fall.

"Lucas?"

"Yeah. Isn't this his room?" Mimi asked.

"Yeah. It is, but he is not here right now," he said.

"Oh. Where is he?" she asked.

"Does it matter?"

She furrowed her brows. "Excuse me?"

"I think he is outside washing the car or something," he said.

She made a step to walk away, but he held her hand, making her look at him.

"Mimi,"

She furrowed her brows at him.

"A very beautiful and precious thing like you shouldn't be with someone like Lucas. You should be with...."

"Let go of my hand," Mimi retorted.

He stared at her.

She scowled at him.

He released her.

She gave him a stern look before walking away.

Manuel stared at her as she walked.

He scoffed. "Patience is the only thing I can work it, my precious Mimi. Soon, you will scream underneath me." he said, smirking devilishly.

"Very soon."

AN HOUR LATER......

ADRIAN'S ROOM.....

Still in her robe, Candela stood close to the windows, her hands folded as she stared at Adrian walking towards his car dressed in a black shirt, black trousers and dark shades.

One of the guards opened the backseat door for him, and he got into the car. Candela watched as the car drove out of the compound.

She clenched her jaw angrily, letting out a breath.

She unfolded her hands and walked out of the room. She took careless steps along the hallway and headed towards Dante's room without looking back.

She didn't know but opened the door and walked in.

Dante turned around from the window where he stood and rested his eyes on Candela. He has a glass of whiskey in one hand and a big brown cigar in the other that has smoke oozing out of it.

"Candela," he called.

She stared at him as she locked the door.

"What a lovely surprise. You know I love it when you walk into my room unannounced and unexpectedly. It is a turn on," he said, smirking.

She took steps towards him without taking her eyes away from him.

"Is there something you want, lady Morelli?" he asked, making her smirk a bit.

"I want all the sex you can offer," she said.

He smirked, putting the cigar in his mouth.

She maintained eye contact as she took off her robe, attracting his eyes to her body as her robe fell on the floor.

He took out the cigar as he stared at her.

"Fuck," he muttered.

"Let's get on with it," she said.

"As her majesty commands," he said, smirking as he placed the things in his hands on the desk and grabbed her closer.

He crashed his lips on hers as she wrapped her hands around his neck, kissing him back.

He moved towards the bed and pushed her on it, making her let out a whimper as she stared at him.

He smirked at her as he got on the bed.

ALONG THE ROAD.....

IN A CAR.....

Adrian stared at the road through his shades as the guard drove.

His phone rang, making him take it out of his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and took the call.

"Talk to me,"

"Boss, the business got canceled." A male spoke from the phone.

Adrian furrowed his brows.

"What the fuck?"

"They told me to inform you right away before you start the trip," the voice said.

"I am already halfway way through, fucker." Adrian said.

"I apologize, sir. But they moved the business to next month. I was...."

Adrian hung up, letting out a sigh.

"Marco," he called.

"Yes, boss?"

"The trip got canceled."

"Should I turn around?" Marco asked.

"No. Take me out of town."

"Yes, boss," Marco said, turning the wheel.

"It is Friday, isn't it?" Adrian asked.

"Yes boss," Marco answered.

Adrian typed on his phone and dialed a number.

"Good day, boss," another male voice spoke up through his phone.

"I need you to do something for me," Adrian said.

"Yes, sir."

HIGH SCHOOL......

"Can I get my kiss before I leave?" Mimi asked happily. She and Lucas are seated in the car, and they are parked in the busy school compound.

"Mimi, we can keep doing this out here," Lucas said, looking around.

Mimi scoffed. "Since when did you start caring about kissing me out here?" She asked.

"It is just...."

"Because my mum walked in on us last night?" She retorted, making him heave a sigh.

"I have already told you not to worry. She will not tell on us," she said.

"You don't get it, do you?" he asked.

She furrowed her brows.

"This thing between us will surely come out, and I don't want to imagine what Mario would do to me once he finds out about us," he said.

Mimi scoffed. "He is not going to find out. And you call what we have a thing?"

"Mimi...."

"How could you say that to me?" She retorted.

He heaved a sigh, looking away.

"I thought you loved me, Lucas," she said.

He looked at her. "I do love you, Mimi. But my friendship with your cousin is....."

"More important?" she retorted.

"Mimi,"

She let out a scoff of disbelief.

"I didn't mean it that way," he said.

She nodded, feeling tears approaching.

"It's okay," she said, opening the door.

"Mimi,"

"See you after school hours," she said, getting out of the car and heading towards the school building.

Lucas rested on the seat and rubbed his temples a bit, letting out a sigh.

HOURS LATER.....

COLLEGE ROAD......

Evelyn let out a sigh as she walked along the slightly lonely road, dressed in a pink top and jean trousers.

She rubbed her neck tiredly as she walked. Right now, she needs her bed and then some.....

A black van stopped next to her, making her freeze as three masked men in black came out of the van and approached her quickly.

Evelyn's heart dropped as she took steps back as she thought of the worst.

De'vora.

"No...."

They covered her mouth, grabbed her in the van, closed the door and drove away.

She was lying in the van and the masked men surrounded her. She shuddered in terror as she stared at them.

"Don't hurt me.... please," she begged.

Her heart pounded very fast as one of the men moved a smoke towards her nose.

She furrowed her brows, lowering her gaze on the smoke, but it took over her consciousness slowly.

Not long later, darkness dominated her.
