Gwen's POV
In a beautiful decorated office, the sun beamed brightly through the transparent curtains. I was busy working on a design outlet on the dress that I have to submit before the end of the week. The company I work for dresses actresses and actors. Though I'm a subordinate in my department, I was always pressured to do more work becaus most of the designs I make are fascinating. I was also told not to make any mistakes in the work that I am doing.
Just then Maya, my senior in my department, walked in and said " Gwen, how is the work going?"
" It's going smoothly and thanks for asking, " I said.
" We'll be needing your designs this week, so that we can submit it to our superior to analyze whether it would be good for the upcoming film, " she said.
" I know and I'm almost done with it. By tomorrow you will see the designs" I said.
" Ok" while walking out of the office and she turned and said " please don't stay up too late in the office, ok?"
" Yes ma'am, I won't stay too long " I said while she walked out in a majestical way.
Once I was done with my work, I stared at the dress. It's perfect, I said in my mind. I neatly wore the dress on the mannequin and placed it inside the small chamber in my office, I put my things in my bag. I went downstairs and walked straight to the park, hooped into my car and drove off to my house.
AT HOME
I was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for me and my roommate, her name is Jessica Gray. She is lively, beautiful and also a motivational speaker. When I suddenly had a call and the ID displayed 'My other me' who is Jessica. I picked up the call,
" Hey Gwen, where are you now?" She asked
I replied " I'm at home preparing dinner for us"
Then she told me the most startling thing I would have not imagine in my life time
"Gwen, Fred is on a date with someone "
"You are lying to me right" I asked her
" Gwen when have I lied to you about anything she said confidently, and she continued " if you don't believe me I'll take a picture of them now and send it to you"
Some seconds later, she sent me a picture of my boyfriend and the girl he was with, in the picture I saw them kissing passionately. I was so shocked that my tummy ached.
" Jess, where are you now" I asked.
" I don't think it'll be good for you to come, just stay at home, ok" she said
" Jessica, tell me the freaking place you saw them before I face my anger towards you" I said while I off the stove and took my car keys.
" They're at KTU restaurant and please don't do.. " before she could finish her sentence, I hung up.
" I'm gonna kill you, Fred," I said in my mind.
NIGHT
KTU RESTAURANT
" Darling, thanks for bringing me to this place. It seems good here" the girl said.
" Anything for you babe " a handsome guy said while looking at his beloved intensely. Then he ordered food for them to eat.
While eating she stood up taking her leave
" Babe, I'm going to the washroom," She said.
" Ok love but be quick the food isn't getting hot each seconds" I said.
" Alright, love" she said.
*********************
Meanwhile, I drove as fast as I could and while driving I was also cursing Fred too. I reached the restaurant that Jess told me about, I walked into the restaurant with anger. Looking around, I spotted my boyfriend on the right wing of the restaurant. Walking towards them, the girl I saw in the picture stood up and excused herself to the restroom. Fred was sitting down and smiling at his phone when I got close to him. I stood behind him and said " wow, what do we have here"
He turned around looking at me, like he had seen a ghost. Then he said " babe, what are you doing here"
" I'm here to have dinner with my boyfriend," I said as I sat down. " Gwen, you can't just come here and take the seat, I'm having dinner with someone"
" Is that true or you are on a date with someone else" I took a good look at him as I studied his facial expressions. He's a big scumbag, I said in my mind.
I just sat down looking at him and I showed him the picture of him and his date.
" Who is she" I asked
He looked paralyzed and said " I'm sorry Gwen I don't love you anymore, my heart belongs to someone else."
" You're sorry that's all you have to say" I was trying to control my feelings but all I could feel right now is a maximum level of disgust, with this strange feeling all I wish I could do right now was to slap him on the face. I raised my hands to give him a tight slap on the face but instead of giving him a dirty and deserving slap across his motherf***ing face, I got slapped. Turning around to see who it was, it was the girl that he kissed, the bitch he cheated on while he was with me.
I could sense tension between her eyes and just looked at her with a grin, and she said " never in your life would you ever raise your filthy hands on my.." before she could finish I slapped her back twice as hard as she'd to me. She looked at me with horror and I said " that's what you deserve bitch and as for you Fred go rot in hell, FYI we're done." He looked transfigured. I turned around and people in the restaurant stared at me with amusement, just then the girl shouted " you'll pay for what you have done and I'll make sure you reject your actions, do you hear me bitch?" I casually walked out, as if nothing happened but my heart was still in pain.
I tried to buckle up the negative feeling inside me, so I decided to go to the beach to clear out my mind. I still couldn't believe the one person I loved with all my heart could actually do this to me, surely that's why someone said that the world is filled with lots of surprises. I entered my car and drove to the beach
"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.

With no means to cancel the wedding and lacking the courage to confront him, I made a desperate choice to leave. I painfully gave his first love my treasured engagement ring thinking it was for the best and the only way to free myself. But when he saw that ring on her finger, the fragile world I had tried to escape began to shatter. His obsession to find me and bring me back ignited a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

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!
