"Where is she?" I asked my guards as I walked into my mansion angrily. " Sir, she was still in the house, up until now we can't explain how the heiress managed to escape tight security" One of the guards explained as I rubbed my forehead.
" I told you guys to keep an eye, on her! Seinna was betrayed by people she trusts, if anything she's out for revenge and would go to any extent to get what she wants. I can't believe you underestimated her capabilities!" I raised my voice angrily.
The last time Seinna and I talked before I went back to the De Luca estate, she made it pretty obvious that she would either marry me, or marry me, either way a marriage must happen. If I wasn't interested in marrying her, Seinna made it pretty obvious that she would marry someone else around my status.
" We need to find her, I'll get back to you" I said as I texted my uncle's wife. I can't let everyone in on What's going on, Aunt Andrea knows how to keep things covered up, my uncle might just freak out on me for security reasons.
My phone rang as I made my way out of my mansion. " Wesley" I said to my friend on the phone and he seemed to be shuffling papers at the other end.
We've known each other since we were kids and have been involved for years. He's one of the most supportive people I know aside from my family.
Wesley is a gym instructor and he's quiet successful in his business. " We were supposed to meet up for dinner at 5? What have you been up to lately? Workaholic?" he asked his tone calm as usual.
"Can we talk about this later? I'll get back to you" I said and ended the call. We would always meet up on weekends to spend time and create memories. He's quiet a good cook too, crazy!
My phone pinged with a text before it rang again. " Aunt" I said immediately I picked up the phone call.
"What do you mean by that? Aldo, Why do you need information on a dead heiress? it doesn't make any sense to me" Aunt said and I took a deep breath in and out.
" Aunt, I know I should explain further, but I need this to be between us at least for the mean time. Seinna is currently out of her mind and might do something crazy. I just need to know her whereabouts" I said and she gave a nod.
"I'll find out everything I need to know, and send you the places she might likely be" Aunt said and ended the call.
Right before I met Seinna, I was living my best life. Work, Link up with a few people, Saturday nights were between me and one the call girls from our family business. I've stopped seeing her for a while cause the family wouldn't accept a call girl. It wasn't easy to move on, but I did. She's currently married to her ex husband and now there's Seinna who wants to use me for her perfect revenge plan.
I frowned when aunt sent me the address of a Cemetery. I dailed her number Immediately.
"You sent me the address of a Cemetery?" I asked in confusion.
"That's where her mom was laid to rest. I'm certain she's got a connection to that place, Considering the fact that her family buried an empty casket there" She explained.
"An empty casket?" I asked my aunt curiously.
" Aldo, you had custody of the girl. So the videos of her funeral in the internet was just a scam. They buried an empty casket" she said as I stepped on the gas.
" Sure, I'll talk to you later aunt" I said and focused on driving towards the cemetery. When I got there, it was already dark, and it wasn't public.
The name Marino, hanging over the black huge gates was enough prove that the cemetery belonged to the Marino's. It's were they have been laying all their ancestors to rest.
Wearing my shades properly, I got down from my car and walked inside. "Seinna" I called and cursed under my breath when I saw signs of red liquid trailing towards the biggest grave in the cemetery.
There she was standing with her back facing me. Her hand still gripping the broken glass she used in doing what caused the bleeding.
"Seinna I've been looking for you everywhere! What is wrong with you? Are you hell bent of frustrating me?" I snapped angrily as I stared into her hazel eyes.
"Seinna I'm talking to you!" I raised my voice an higher Octave.
"I was getting suffocated with that confined space, I needed the rush. I needed to feel alive .." She trailed off as she stared at my lips then my eyes.
"So you stole my car? And decided to come to your family cemetery?" I asked and she chuckled bitterly.
" I came to my office? besides, it's one of the places were I get to feel close to my ma" she said as her voice broke at the edge, helping me feel every bit of the Vunerabilty that she felt.
"Seinna you are broken, way too broken to do what's running through your head..." I trailed off.
"I thought you're good at fixing things? I advise you don't try to fix me, What I want from you isn't even healthy to begin with" she trailed off as tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Let's go back to my place" I said and signaled her to give me the glass. " I can't give you the glass, It helps me stay sane.." she said and I cursed under my breath.
" That's pure madness, what you need right now, is a therapist. I would look into getting you one .." I trailed off.
"Ain't you a De luca? You have the power to stand by me..." she bursted.
" Do you think it's easy to marry a De Luca? we don't walk down the aisle for jokes. You're not going to be the first woman to complicate my life!" I burst out angrily and she walked close to me.
"I Complicate your life? You saved me that night Aldo. If it weren't for you, I'd be dead. I want to be selfish with you." she declared with a finality that left me speechless.
"We should go back to my mansion, it's not safe out here Seinna, I know you're hurt and you're thinking of ways to get yourself out of these mess, but marriage isn't the way! hurting yourself won't solve Sh!t" I said and noticed she was calm and collected.
We walked out of the cemetery together and as we approached my car, I noticed it was about to rain, cause the wind outside was getting out of hand.
"Does it still hurts?" I asked as my eyes scanned her hand. She did not say anything as the rain started drizzling.
I opened the car door and gestured towards Seinna to get into the car, but she smirked in my direction.
"I'm really exhausted Seinna, I want to take a warm shower and get some rest.." I said and walked over to her.
"Don't move" her soft voice met my ears as I found myself staring into her eyes.
" You're bleeding Seinna" I said and her bloodstained hands moved over to my face as the drops of rain poured on us, she slammed her lips on mine.
waves of pleasure ran through my veins as our lips fought for dominance. She attracted me like fire on petrol. Like a mother to a flame and I knew it wasn't healthy.
We were wet from the encounter under the rain. The craziest part was that we were outside the cemetery.
" Get in the car..." I said as I turned my back immediately. She wasn't my first, but somehow I was scared of what would happen if I let Seinna in.
She wants us to have something temporary and I don't do temporary. " Get in the car Seinna" I said again and this time she did not argue.
Our ride back to my house was a quiet one, I ignored looking directly into her eyes. My phone rang with a call from Mason which I ignored.
"You know you have to take the call at some point right?" her voice took over the silence in the car, but I ignored her.
" So now you won't talk to me because I kissed you?" she asked in amusement.
" Is that how you go around kissing men and forcing them to marry you?" I asked and her eyes flashed with shock.
"So now I'm the one forcing men to kiss me? Interesting" she muttured under her breath without arguing further.
Somehow I felt terrible for my choice of words and made to apologize, but changed my line of words immediately.
"I hope you listen to me this time around, and stop trying to get yourself killed. I would really appreciate it" I said and she didn't bother to reply.

♠️ SEINNA ♠️
He was everything better than what I thought he would taste like, I could still remember the feel of his rough hands against my butts as we kissed under the rain.
Aldo was experienced and somehow I knew he was too much of a gentleman to let himself touch me, if I didn't make the move. Which made everything all the more interesting.
I went to my office at the family cemetery, that's where I get most of my works done. After mom died, I went crazy and nearly ended my life with the number of times I went street racing, it took dad months to help me regain my sanity. I don't know how to bare pain.
I'm very vengeful, I'll go out of my way to return the favor on those who cross my parts.
It's not like I wanted anything serious from Aldo. Let's get married, with his influence I'll get the protection I need while playing my game, we go our separate ways after the whole thing and that's it.
But this man is way too principled to suddenly give in to what I want. When we got to his room, he picked some clothes from his closet and I watched him walk off.
" So he's going to avoid me now?" I asked myself with a smirk on my face. I went into the bathroom to freshen up first, I need a laptop to begin with. What better way to get it if not from Mr De Luca? I buttoned the shirt and strolled towards his other room.
This one looked more like his office and my thoughts were confirmed when my eyes met the files on the table.
The door of the bathroom opened and there he was standing at the door with a shocked expression on his face. His wet curly hair fell freely on his face. My eyes trailed his shirtless body which looked almost unreal with how S*xy he looked. Down to the towel that laid dangerously below his waist. I fought the urge to imagine what was beneath that...
" What are you doing in my room Seinna " his cold words stopped my trail of thoughts.
" I was missing you my potential husband" I said smiling and he did not return the smile.
" We ain't getting married even if I'm under a spell Seinna! " his harsh words hit me and I smirked.
" You want me, You can deny all you want, but let's see how long you put on this facade'
" You belong to me Aldo! I don't chase, I attract" my words burned into his as we glared daggers at each other.
