Stolen moments

Chapter 35(B)

Leah's dress for the wedding.

She opens the door to her car abruptly, stepping out then slamming the door in anger. She glared at the beautiful mansion housing the monster she happened to fraternize with years ago.

She clutched the parcel in her hands before storming towards the mansion, ignoring the looks she got from the bodyguards lurking around.

She promised to change yet she is doing it again, she kept on telling herself she had no choice, she was hooked, in between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The guards let her into the house, probably because they have been informed of her coming.

She bit her lip as she tap her shoe cover foot on the floor rapidly.

She know she shouldn't be doing this but the bastard as shown her something crazy.

"Well well well... Who do we have here?" Huffing she turns around to meet the face of the evil man.

"Where is the video?" She asked with a menacing glare on her face but he looks unaffected.

"Is that how to welcome your long time friend?" He asked coming down the stairs, stalking towards her.

She took him in, he has grown more mature since the last time she saw him. His face still has the beauty but under all the beauty is a monster.

"Am not your friend" he chuckled at her words, his voice has gotten deeper as well. He ran a finger on his slightly stubbled chin, his brown eyes which were filled with amusement and mischief zeroed on her.

"Why will you say the ragazza? I mean if I could remember few years back, you were _"

"Stop! " she snapped "just stop Antonio! What are you doing here?" She said looking angry and frustrated "what are you doing in New York?! "

"That my dear.. Is for me to know and you to find out" his face turned serious "where is what I sent you?"

"What do you want to use it for?" She asked curiously.

"Don't play games with me girl... " he warned as his face turned dark.

She sighs, giving him the parcel, he quickly tears into it bringing out the wedding invitation cards. An evil smile appears on his face which sends a chill down her spine.

"My dear Claire.. You are such a good girl." He praised.

"She trusted me, yet you made me break her trust"

"Trust are meant to be broken, if you help me, you have a lot to gain considering you have lose a lot" he cajoled but she was not falling for it.

"Where is the video Antonio?" She asked as he only smirked.

She needs to get that video, if the content of that video gets out, it could ruin her already damaged life.

"Who said am going to give you the video? Am not done with you Claire"

I stood by closely watching the newly wedded couple as they dance to the rhythm of the lovely yet romantic song being played. The wedding was successful.

It was a moment shared with friends and family, nothing big but quite lovely. There were moments when there was laughter, tears, happiness...

Am just so happy for them, they look so happy, lost in their own world, conversing softly between themselves as they dance.

"Hey" I look up to see Hunter handing me a glass of wine.

"Hi... Oh, thanks" I took it from him, i smile at the fruity taste. He knows just what I need.
