Tina wanted to be an independent woman who would be able to fend for herself and her family. She was going fine with that until she met diego. Diego santiago was the ceo of the santiago's enterprises, he was an arrogant and ruthless man who would never listen but wants to be listened to. He loves giving out the orders while his employees follow suite. He was doing great in his own world until he met the unfaltering tina who would not do his biddings. What would finally happen when tina somehow finds herself to be his assistant, who she obey him and do as she is told or would she face his wrath
"wake up wake up", Niel called shaking Tina", "hmmn", she answered turning away, "father wants you to call the Post office", "where is mom", she asked opening her eyes, "mom is still asleep, get up first". Tina
Sitting up asked "can't you go do it", "what me, no ways, father asked you to call them and not me", "please", "no, don't shift it to me", "what about I walk you to the bus station on your way to your new
College, he looked at her and nodded "okay that would do, go freshen up, let me get the telephone", "
Thanks and I love you", "yes after shifting your work", he said smiling, she smiled back heading to the bathroom while he left.
Later that day:
"Dad Mr Patel came over and he said his car broke down", "oh, where did he leave it", "
At the garage", "thanks dear, where is your mom and brother", "they are both at the farmyard", "where are you headed to", "the market, we are almost out of
Foodstuff", "what's up for dinner", he asked and she smiled, "mom is taking care of it", he became sad
"your mom had always cooked for me all this years, I have told you that I like your food better", she also became sad "yes, you say that now but when I get married and Niel marries a lady, you would get tired of my food also and like the new lady's food better", he touched her cheeks and said "that would never happen, I would make sure that I come visiting almost every time as an excuse to taste your food again", she laughed "that's convincing enough dad", she said as he chuckled, she pecked her and left the house for the market. This is Tina Martinez, she just finished her college and is determined to find a job and help her family out, being the first child, it was expected from her anyways.
At the Santiago's;
Anna was in the kitchen preparing lunch, her mom was in the room, Derek was in his room chatting away as always while Diego was in his study working. She rang the lunch bell and
Served the food, "why did you cook", Derk asked as she smiled giving her mother a plate and scooped some meat, "yes Anna, why and why did you cook, I have told you severally that that kitchen is dangerous to your skin", "yes, mother I know, we have maids and all but am a lady like them and I would one day
get married", her mother sighed not wanting to start an argument with her while Derek gave her that disgusted look that she was used to, "I would go call big brother", "and when he ask for who cooked", "I would simply tell him the truth, he wouldn't do anything anyways", "if course and if I remember correctly, the last time you said that you slept in
the store room", "that was last week Derek, this is a new week", "yes, a new week
indeed, am telling you that everyone else can change but Diego can't", "he would change",
keep trying", he said minding his food as she rolled her eyes at him then went to look for Diego.
She met him at his laptop and she said a quick prayer before going in, "lunch is ready big brother", he first of all acted like she wasn't there and he continued his work until she repeated it again, "you weren't taught to knock on a door before entering", "am sorry", "so who made lunch", "the mail...", "If you dare lie to me Anna", he said calmly but his aura had definitely changed and the room was getting stuffy for Anna, "I did", she said looking down at her foot, "what did I tell you the last time you did that", "you said I shouldn't cook anymore", "so what happened now", he asked looking at her for the first time since she entered the study, "i.. I am sorry", "what to do with you,oh, it is raining, do you care to have a quick shower before telling me the rest of your story", "am sorry big brother,
I won't do it again", "yes, I heard this the last time", "this time it is different, I won't enter the
kitchen again", "don't worry, I would walk you out myself",he said and elegantly held her hand and walked her out of the house, making her stand at an are where the downpour was more evident, he said "maybe when you get a pneumonia, I would be convinced that you won't do it again", he then went inside closing the door behind him. "What have you done with my daughter", his mom asked once he passed by the dining area, "she is just taking a few shower out there", "what the hell Diego, don't tell me you left your sister out
there", his mom said and Derek only shakes his head and headed towards the door, "don't you dare do what is in your head now", Diego's voice came behind him, "I can handle anything but my little sister being left in the
cold so do your worst", he then continued his journey to the door, he brought Tina inside all drenched up and in tears. Diego watched as his mom said, "I didn't bring you up to become heartless Diego, when did you even get this worse huh, just look at what you did to your poor sister, what has she ever done to you", "answer that question yourself, rose, who exactly is she to me", he asked with that dangerous look lurking behind his gaze and he went out o his room, "what did he mean by that mom", Anna asked as her mom said "don't listen to him, he talks a lot of rubbish when angry", "and by the way didn't I tell you to not go call him, just looks at what a new week did to you", Derek added taking her to her room and helping her get into a clean and dry clothe before he said "don't leave this room until am sure that you are doing well, don't turn on the AC, ring for the maids if you need assistance, I don't want any excuses as to why you disobeyed me", she nodded laying on the bed, he sighed trying to look calm, "I told you to stop trying to make him come out of his world, he is okay with it and we are fine with it then why do you want o change him", she didn't say anything, " quit trying to make him come out of his world, it's for your own good because if this kind of thing happens again and am not around then?, Would I hear of you being dead, of course not", she nodded as he left the room.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

Due to the plight of her family, Phoebe had no choice but to embark on the path of selling herself. In an accident, she had a tangled night with Alexander. Everything began to derail, and even if she fled to the ends of the earth, she would still be found by him and entangled... *** Phoebe screamed in frustration, "What do you want from me?" What was this supposed to be? He raised an eyebrow wickedly. "What do I want? You'll find out soon enough." With that, he hoisted her up and carried her back into the office. The door slammed shut with a kick, and he cleared the desk with a sweep of his arm before laying her down on it, his body pinning hers in place, completely trapping her in his grasp. Every cell in his body was telling him he wanted her. He wanted to claim her again. This time, there would be no escape for her-he wouldn't let her slip away. Never again. If he had suffered for five years, then this woman wouldn't get off easily either!
