I think I'm falling for him
Days later, around 2 pm, in country R-Puerto Rico, in the office
Assistant: sir, it's negative...
Mateo: fine, pass that, give me all personal record information about the meadows' ( he then placed a file Infront of him on the desk)
Mateo:( flips some pages) what about his territories?...where are those records...
Assistant: I'm sorry sir, they have a tight security pass on those ones, and we can access it because we're not in a friendly cooperation with them...
Mateo: argh!( throws the file away together with some other stuffs on the table as he yelled) Out!...
Assistant: sir...
Mateo: I said out!!!
The other side, at the meadows' mansion
( He was seated at his desk in his office busily typing when someone entered with the suite's dead-serious aura changing into something elite-warm and soft)
Damian: ( looks up to her) what do you want?...
Female voice: mm cold as always, ( she then modelled her way towards him and threw her bag in the nearby sofa as she turned him around to face her)...
Her: I've missed you, you know we didn't get to finish what we were doing last two nights..( walks behind him as she started slipping her hand into his shirt from behind, caressing his chest) we were discussing about something really important...( She then kicked his earlobe,as he suddenly pulled her hand from his shirt and dragged her Infront of him as she landed on his laps, with him staring at her intensively with a cold expression)
Her: uh!( Smirks ) I love that, ( stares at him lustfully)
Damian: I don't have time for your petty playful acts...
Her: oah please, spare me that...(rolls her eyes) we both know you want this more than I do...(She then touched his lower abdomen as she went lower) you're just trying to act all Mr goody shoes for that poor little girl you have locked up in your room and besides you know I can give you what you want in full package...
Damian: ( grips her arms tightly as he leaned in) don't speak of her like that...you're nothing compared to her ..( just then)
( Bianca and Connor came in as they were welcomed with the scene that left them not so surprised but maybe a little surprise as they weren't expecting that at the moment. )
Her: ( glances at bianca) ohhh Damian what if you leave me sore for the next two weeks...(The moment Bianca heard it her eyes widened in surprise as it was mixed with a tint of jealousy. Connor just gulped in)
Damian: fuck you...( He said undertone as he pushed her away ('uh!' she winced)and got up as he cleared his throat and stared at bianca. The moment their eyes met he saw and understood the feeling she was experiencing at the moment, he tried communicating but she just looked away and whispered softly to Connor)
Bianca: you go ahead...I-i'll tell him later( she muttered as she left)
Damian: 'Bianca'( he uttered barely above a whisper as he wanted to stop her from leaving to know why she came there but hesitated when Connor finally spoke)
Connor: sir,Don meadows wishes to see you...
Damian: mm, make preparations for take off( he said and started walking for the exit as he wondered why she came there)
Her: Damian...
Damian: not now Zara....( He said and stepped out leaving the two as they stared at each other dumbfoundedly)
Zara: what are you looking at?..(she said to him in a pissed tone as she folded her arms and sat there, with Connor just finding her behavior somewhat irritating as it really was)
Back in country J-italy, the Moretti's mansion, his office suite...
Mateo: why can't you just ask him?
Vicenzo: Mateo...(he said as he adjusted himself in the sofa properly)
Mateo: I just need a pass...
Vicenzo: let him handle that,you can just leave that for him, besides they're his own territories, I'm sure he knows the insides and outs better than you and I could possibly know...
Mateo: impossibilé!( impossible)...why isn't he willing to let me have a one day tour there then?...if he ain't hiding something..he probably knows something we don't ...or maybe you know...that's why you're backing him up...
Vicenzo: no I don't..I just trust him and I know he wouldn't hide such a thing about my sister from me...
Mateo: trust?...how can you talk about trust in this situation?... Bianca's missing and you're relying on a guy you lost contact with for almost 5 years?... other than me?...the guy you've known all your life?( Sighs disappointedly) Oh enzo..
Vicenzo: Mateo let's just...
Mateo: let's just what?...are you even aware Bianca isn't in Russia?...
Vicenzo: I'm aware...
Mateo: what?...see? you already know that and you didn't even bother to tell me, now how do you expect me to believe you when you say you don't know something I don't...
Vicenzo: I honestly know nothing apart from that...( He said as he sat there with his leg on top of the other as he sat still like his sister's safety wasn't at stake and like nothing was wrong, whiles Mateo sat there, suppressing his anger as he really felt like yelling and breaking something)
The other side,in the garden
( They walked around in the estate's garden in circles as they were having an engaging elite conversation)
Bianca: thanks for last time..
Ian: was it worth it?...
Bianca: yeah it was.. thanks...(blushes slightly)
Ian: ( sighs with content) that was cute, it flatters. ..
Bianca: what?..( asks with a cheeky smile)
Ian: what? what?...I said nothing ( he said as he looked away pretending he hadn't said anything)....( She then smiled at his somewhat silly behavior...)
Ian: so ummm, you wanted to talk about Damian?...
Bianca: yeah.. I don't even know how to start,but Ian I feel like;I like him already..( the moment those words escaped her lips, he felt his heart shatter into pieces as he stopped walking and slowly turned to her)
Ian:(in a disappointed shocked tone) you what...? h-how...
Bianca: Ian, I uh...I don't know, I just don't even know what to feel and what not to anymore...
Ian: but how can you? why would you fall for him...
Bianca: that's what I've been trying to deny, but fate doesn't permit to..I-....( He then held her hands with knitted desperate eyebrows as he spoke sadly)
Ian: what if I say leave him, what if I say block your feelings for him..I like you bianca, I don't know but I just fell for you the day we first met and I happened to like everything about you even though I didn't know anything about you and still don't, ( pauses and exhales slightly)what if I say I love you, what if I say leave him for me, would you?....( He said as he stared into her shaky eyes with his heart pounding fast as he was looking for some glimpse of hope as he hoped for sincerity and acceptance..)
Bianca: I uh...( sulks in) you ...( 'what?!' mutters)...Ian, I can't....I'm sorry, I just can't seem to even if I wanted to ....he has so much effect on me that I can't resist although I know it feels wrong...
Ian: ( nods slightly as his grip on her hand loosened)... right...(To himself: 'what was I thinking?... Damian had already lured his way into her heart, even though he knows it won't last') ( chuckles slightly as he..) that's fine, if only it makes you happy...go for it...
Bianca: Ian...( She saw the hurt in his eyes, but what could she do?..she couldn't just give him false hope)
Ian: I understand...( Smiles sadly as he hugged her)
