Chloe stared at her Mirror as she waited for Ritego.
He was 10 Minutes late but she wasn't bothered, maybe he Is busy.
She had sent him the location earlier that morning.
She smiled and touched her hair.
"Ma'am Should I bring your order?" the Waiter said standing before her.
"No, not yet, my partner is not here, just bring me a bottle of red wine" Chloe said and he nodded walking away.
Chloe sighed slowly getting worried, what was keeping him? He promised to make it by 7, she sighed slowly and stared at the door expecting him to materialize soon.
>>>>>GAMER'S ENTERPRISE
Ritego stood From his Chair The moment Sandro ended the call.
He wore his Jacket and took his phone and car keys before walking out of the office.
He met Franca packing up from her desk and he walked to her.
"I am leaving now, handle what so ever needs to be handled before you leave" he said and Franca nodded without smiling.
"Yes sir, good night" She replied and he nodded breathing out, she watched him leave and wondered why he was in such haste.
Ritego went to the parking lot through the elevator and pressed his fob button, his car made sound and he went to it.
He got in and opened his car safe and dropped his phone in it.
He set his seatbelt and started the car.
Sandro sounded anxious during the call, did he find out anything?.
>>>>BROWN'S RESTAURANTS
Lily rushed into the Restaurant first and jade stared at Camila.
"I'm sorry if I got you angry" Jade said calmly and she nodded.
"you should leave now, and I think you should focus on your therapy patients, you coming here early to pick me up and dropping me is stressful to you" Camila said and he smiled touching her hair.
"It doesn't matter Camila, I'm not complaining" He said and she smiled and nodded.
"Good night" she said and made her way into the restaurants.
She met Kaila talking to Lily.
"Did your Boss really get this for Lily? He is so generous" Kaila gushed raising the phone.
"Yes Grandma, he is a good man" Lily said and Camila sighed, good man? She'll see about that.
"Mom I'm tired, I'll go rest at the inner room" Camila said.
"OK, I'll look after Lily" Kaila said with a smile and Camila nodded and went to the inner room.
She dropped her bag and sat on the cushion tiredly, she stared at her hand, touched the place Sandro had held.
She hissed and closed her eyes, what was wrong with her, why was she thinking about him as a man and not as her Boss.
She sighed and rubbed her face, she needed to apologize to him about how she had reacted towards him.
She bit her lower lips and threw her head backwards.
Ugh, things are not going the way she thought it would.
>>>>> APEX RESTAURANTS
Chloe stared at her watch again and her eyes dilated slowly, she suddenly chuckled.
"He stood me up" she whispered painfully , she had been calling him but he wasn't answering her calls, she hissed and stared at the waiters who were all staring at her pitifully.
"Hey come here" she called at the one who had served her wine and he rushed to her.
"Do you have Vodka?" She asked and he nodded.
"Give me a bottle" she bellowed
"Yes Ma'am" he replied hastily and Chloe sniffed, Is it okay to keep loving him this way? Is it?.
She sniffed as she stared at the empty wine bottle on the table, willing it to be Ritego's neck so she could wring it.
>>>>WEST SIDE APARTMENT
Cassiano sat on his cushion thinking about Chloe, he had seen her leave earlier.
"She must be having a good time" he muttered just as his phone beeped, he took the phone from the table hoping it was her and opened the message.
It was a message from an unknown number, he opened it and it was a picture message, the picture was that of Lily and he smiled.
"I got a phone uncle" he smiled staring at her selfie and he immediately Video called her.
She picked and he stared at her beautiful face
"Uncle Cassiano, I got a phone as a gift today" Lily said excitedly making him chuckle.
"Hey Pumpkin, who gifted you a phone?" He asked slicking his hair backwards.
"Mommy's Boss, Uncle Sandro* she replied and he furrowed his brows, Sandro Alejandro? Chloe's brother?.
Suddenly his door bell rang repeatedly and he frowned standing.
"pumpkin, hold on, I'll call you back" Cassiano said and ended the call.
He opened the door immediately and the person he saw made him frown.
"Professor?"
"Cassiano!" Chloe slurred and staggered backwards, she suddenly looked up and ran her fingers into her hair, she was drunk, dead drunk.
Her face was red, but she looked like she wasn't that drunk.
"You are drunk" Cassiano mused and she staggered towards him pushing him in, he held her to himself so she wouldn't fall, he sighed and shut the door.
Did her date end badly?
"I am not drunk you fool!" She yelled and started laughing, her bag fell and he sighed dropping her on the cushion, He took off her heels so she wouldn't hurt herself.
"I'll go get you water" He said wanting to stand but she grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her with so much strength and his eyes widened.
"How could you break me this way? Uhh you bastard! should I . . . should I stop loving you Ritego? Should I?!" She cried and he sighed.
"Chloe..."
"Can't you look at me for once in 10 years? Can't you!" She cried shaking him and he rolled his eyes.
"I am not the damn Ritego or whatever you call him" Cassiano snapped and she suddenly held his jaw smiling sheepishly.
"I hardly do this with any guy because I want to do it alone with you, should we do it now?" Chloe asked bringing her lips closer to Cassiano's and his eyes widened.
"What . . . what are you doing?" He swallowed , trying to move away but she pushed him to the floor and left the couch climbing his body.
"Will you push me away again because you only see me as your best friend's little sister?" She questioned, her lips on Cassiano's lips.
He could stop her if he wanted but he found himself wanting her to act her out drunk nature on him.
Chloe pressed her lips on his immediately and he closed his eyes slowly.
He held her waist pressing her body down to his, he knew this may be his only chance to taste the woman he had fallen in love with.
Chloe deepened the kiss and Cassiano opened his mouth running his tongue along her teeth.
She smelled of alcohol , but her lips were so soft, her skin felt so good that he could have gone further, but he can't take advantage of a drunk woman.
He broke the kiss and she kept trying to continue,
"Chloe . . ." He called in a hoarse voice holding her hands tightly and she stared at him drunkenly.
"Why did you stop?" She whispered
"You are drunk and if you knew what you did tonight by the time you woke up, I might meet myself at the hospital" Cassiano joked and stood with her wrapping her legs around his waist, she was so smallish compared to him, that her age didn't matter even an inch to him.
Soon he heard her faint breath as he took her to his room, he dropped her on his comfortable bed and watched her sleeping face with a smile.
"How the hell did I fall for you?" Cassiano whispered.
>>>>>>>XANDRO'S VILLA
"You are here" Sandro said to Ritego as he sat with him at the bar.
He poured the two of them drinks and he held his own glass.
"I think you might need something stronger than this by the time I tell you something shocking" Ritego said and Sandro chuckled and raised his brows.
"What is that important?" He questioned heavily, as his mind was still clouded by what happened at the office.
"the girl you forced yourself on 8 years ago, didn't you at least get a glimpse of her?" Ritego asked and Sandro frowned.
"Glimpse? Have you forgotten the pattern? the room has to be dark so she can't see me and I can't too" Sandro said and sipped from his wine and Ritego sighed.
"Sandro, I think we are both doomed" Ritego said And Sandro stared at him.
"What are you talking about?"
"I can't believe I was so stupid not to recognize her when I saw her, well she was on makeup that night So it was hard confirming it was her and she also couldn't recognize me,"
"go straight to the point already" Sandro snapped and Ritego touched Sandro's leg,
"Don't loose it when i tell you who she is" Ritego said and he nodded.
"Your PA Camila Brown is the girl you raped 8 years ago, and that child she has is your biological daughter" Ritego said and Sandro eyes widened immediately like Ritego was crazy.
"what the f**k are you saying?"
"Sandro I'm not kidding, I confirmed it, my secretary is her best friend, and that Child looks too much like you not to be your daughter" Ritego said and Sandro's throat churned.
His breathings increased as he was finding it hard to breath, the glass he was holding fell from his grip shattering on the floor.
"What?"
