Elias checked the time on his watch as he waited for his girlfriend to walk out of her cl@$$ .
When he’d met her ,she was a major in business …which she just for-ced herself to be a part of,buh after they began dating ..he’d encouraged her to do a change of course and now she was a major in photography instead .
” Oh Eli …” She said as she walked over to him and they exchanged ki-sses .
” Hey love ,I’ve been waiting for quiet sometime now , how was the cl@$$ ? He asked and she smiled .
” It went well plus it’s fun ” she said joining her hands with his as they walked together .
” You know it makes me so happy to see you this carefree ,not acting cold or distant ? He asked .
” You think I used to act cold ? She asked amusingly .
” Not act cold , you where fold Lenora …buh de-ep down I could see the.part of you that craved love … especially that night at the street racing ” he said and she chuckled out tears .
” That was my way of getting rid of the pain , I hated seeing my parents fight ….hated seeing mom crave for love … Everytime I saw my family break before my eyes …. I’d want an escape ….to get it outta my che-st …that’s how I got into the Streets…….
It all hurt a lot … especially when Marco left …then Vince …then mom got into drinking and dad lived his life with his mistresses …Manuel ..focused on his music career ….I …was just left alone ….I tried to make Friends …got introduced to a wild life , I had se-x became an addict trying to ease the pain and when it didn’t work , I got into street racing ….untill I met you Eli ….” She said as tears rolled outta her eyes.
” You became my saving grace …you became the reason I didn’t nee-d to street race ” she said and Eli held her hands .
” I’m here for you Lenora …I just want you …to promise me one thing ” he said with tears in his eyes .
” That you’d never risk your life in that dirty race ever AGAIN…that you’d stay alife for me ” he said and she gave a nod whilst crying.
” I promise you …Eli …” She said and he pulled her in for a ki-ss .
……
” Oh …..my … vincenzo ” Nicole cried out as she came from her high.
He peked on her forehead and she blus-hed red .
” Are you okay love ? He asked and she gave a nod .
” Ya I’m fine …’
” Are you sure ? Let me check if I hurt you ….” He trailed.
” Enzo I’m fine ,trust me ” she said and he gave a nod .
” C’mon let’s go take a shower ” he said and took her with him to the bathroom .
After sometime they came back together and got ready for the day .
” You’re not putting on formal clothes ? Nicole asked confused .
” Oh c’mon my love …you just made me the happiest man last night ,I can’t possibly concentrate at work even if I go , so i called up my @$$istant and took the day off ,so I’m all yours for the day my queen ” he said and she burst out laughing .
” Oh really ? You workaholic ” she said and he chuckled .
They went out for breakfast and after eating his phone rang .
Why was his @$$istant Calling again ?
” See ,I told you there’s no day off for you ” Nicole teased.
” I’m not taking it ” he said and she laughed .
” C’mon it must be important ” he said and he picked it up .
” Yes … WAIT WHAT ? He asked in shock as he stood up .
” I’m on my way ” he said and cut the call .
” Love us everything okay ? Nicole asked worriedly .
” It’s Aria …she was murdered by her Antonia gurero my dad’s mistress” vincenzo said .
” Wait Antonia ? My stepsister ? Nicole asked .
” Ya …c’mon we nee-d to go to the prison ” vincenzo said as he held his girlfriend’s hands and picked up his car keys .
” Vincenzo …don’t pannick ” Nicole said as she placed her hands on his shoulders as he drove off .
They got to the police station and as they walked out of their car they felt flash lights on them .
“Shit ” Vincenzo cursed un-der his breath .

His guards stopped the press from getting close to them as they got in .
Immediately they got in ,his eyes met marco with the elites .
What where they even doing here in prison !
What was going on .
” Marco …” He called immediately he got close .
” Vincenzo ” Marco said and he ru-bbed his face .
” What’s going on ? How did this happen ? How are they even related …I don’t un-derstand a thing ” vincenzo said .
” Aria …and Antonia are bestfriends … someone set them up … killed Aria and made sure it’s put on Antonia and she wraths in jail for a crime she never committed ” marco said and Nicole stared at her so called sister talking with three other men , she wondered how someone that beautiful lived such a dirty life of ruining someone’s marriage .
” This is so complicated …does she have an idea of who set her up ? Vincenzo asked .
” It’s better you don’t know … because the less you know the safer you are ” Marco said .
” I’m not a kid Marco … I deserve the truth .” Vincenzo said and Nicole placed her hand on his che-st .
” What the hell are you doing here ? Monica gurero asked angrily as she walked into the prison with her guards .
Vincenzo turned and pinched the bridge of his nose .
” I’m talking to you morreti’s ,you have no right to show your face here after you set my daughter up and threw her in here , you morreti’s have been trouble from day one ” Monica spat hatefully and Marco Frowned wondering who the hell the lady was .
Vincenzo looked away avoiding her .
Nicole stared at the woman who just called Antonia her daughter , that means this woman was her mother .
The woman that abandoned her .
” You dare show up like you care about Tonia after you must be so happy you finally get rid of your father’s mistress …you hypocrites , especially you vincenzo …you evil ….” Monica was screaming .
” Ma’am …what ru-bbish are you saying ? Wait aren’t you ashamed of yourself ? Your daughter hurt mom countless times ..buh here we are trying to clear her name and you talk ru-bbish ? Marco snapped and vincenzo held his hands knowing just how bad his temper can get .
” Oh so this is it ? You stand here to insult me after you’ve Br@inwashed my daughter Nicole to ….” Monica trailed pointing at vincenzo .
” DON’T YOU fu-cking dare talk to my boyfriend like that Monica ” Nicole snapped angrily and Monica stared at her hurt .
” Nicole you talk to me like this because of this manipulative man ?
” He has a name Monica ”
” And I’m your mother …I gave birth to you …you should be with me and your sister ” Monica snapped and Nicole laughed bitterly .
” Sister ? You ? Did you just call yourself my mother ? You’re so shameless Monica …you are the most shameless woman in the universe …..you and zeta used to be bestfriends like soul sisters …you knew how much she loved Carlos buh no you shoot your shot at him and you guys eventually got together ..
Zeta although hurt decided to move on and you married him and after a few years you had me …
That same year you met Gilbert morreti their father ” Nicole said pointing at vincenzo .
” Your love for flashy things …power and wealth made you abandoned your daughter who was ba-rely a year old and a husband who loved you to death … and elope with a married man … Thinking her divorce his wife leave his family to spend his life with you …only to find out he was using you ….he dumped you and you still didn’t come back to your family Monica. ..you married another rich man and birth Antonia the very next year ” Nicole said as she clapped for Monica .
” You didn’t for once ,stop to think about what your daughter was p@$$ing throu-gh…if she’d eating slept or how she was faring whilst you live a life of luxury ….
The nights I spent in the cold and mosquitoes outside …the physical and emotional abuse …

Got chased by rapist …..the nights I slept with a stomach rumbling for food….
This morreti you’re insulting and pointing fingers at …loved me regardless …” Nicole said tears rolling outta her eyes and vincenzo bit his lower li-p as his eyes warmed with tears .
” You lost the rights to call me your daughter , and even if I’d have forgiven you , this disrespect and you trying to separate vincenzo and I …just spoilt your luck ” Nicole said .
” Nicole …Nikki please ” Monica said crying and Nicole Walked out on them .
” Babe wait …!!!” Vincenzo said and went after her .
Marco looked at the elites and they left her there with no one to console .
They got out and saw vincenzo’s car had left without him .
” She’s gone ? Marco asked and Vince gave a nod .
” She has a bad temper …” Vincenzo said and Marco gave a nod .
” Be careful vincenzo ” he patted his back and turned to join his friends .
” Marco ” he called and he turned .
” No matter what happens ,no matter how mad you are at me … please stay alife for us ….” Vincenzo said and Marco gave a nod with tears in his eyes as he turn and walked away .
Vincenzo ru-bbed his face as tears rolled outta his eyes .
Things where getting more messed up by the day .

” You refused to eat Daniella ? He asked angrily .
” I want my phone back ” Daniella said and he gave her a dirty slap.

” Are you trying to prove stubborn ? You think I can’t cut off your throat ? You’re regecting the food I gave you to you ? Trying to starve to death .. waiting for that lover boy of yours huh ‘ he spat as he grabbed her hair painfully .
Daniella glared at him with pure hatred .
“I’d rather die than gave anything to do with you and your food ….cooked from blood money …you dirty devil ” Daniella spat stubbornly and he slapped her again .
