Book 1: The Secret Mafia Boss (R-18)

Chapter 1

It's been 6 long years...

But the past is still fresh from her memory.

Those long nights that always haunted her dreams.

The past that she tried to forget is now coming back.

He still looks gorgeous and dangerously handsome.

She is at a meeting for the merger of their company. Never did she thought that he is the CEO.

The meeting has ended, but she didn't understand a single word while listening to the discussion.

She stands up last and let all the people went out first.

She was taken by surprise when someone suddenly talked behind her back.

"Where have you been all these years?"He asked.

Upon hearing his voice for a long time, brought a mix feelings that she herself cannot even explain.

She didn't mind him and continue walking.

"Playing blind and deaf, my love..." Upon hearing what he said, memories came back, flashing in.

Those memories that she kept deep inside and buried.

He blocked her way. And she has no choice but to talked to him.

"Excuse me, Mr.Vergara. You are blocking my way."But he just laugh. Those laughter that she longs to hear.

"You left without saying goodbye, and that's all you can say?" He asked full of resentment. And the voice got a little louder.

He looked at the door, maybe someone had just entered.

Lance slammed the door and locked it.

Destiny is playing her life again. Of all the people he could encounter, Why Lance?

"Mr. Vergara, I don't have time for this. What are you talking about? "But Lance's handsome face got even angrier.

"You, what are you talking about. Nathalie! Just imagine that, after 6 years, I finally know your name." He shouted angrily.

Her heart moved upon hearing this. But that was all in the past. And you can't go back because it's hard to go back.

They both have their own life now.

"I really need to go! So please, if you'll excuse me. "When he opened the door. Lance suddenly pinned her on the door.

She tried to let go, but he is so strong. He can smell the fresh mint on Lance breath.

"I miss you..." He said gently.

Did she miss him?

Lance kiss her and she lost her control and kissed him back with longing in her heart.

Nathalie, this is not right!

Her conscience will not stop reminding her to do what is right.

He pushed Lance and slap his face.

"I can sue you, Mr. Vergara. So, please don't do this again." She forcefully let go of her body from Lance's embrace.

Lance was surprised and angry of what she did.

Next time, he will surely hold her tight and never let her go.

She finally went out of the meeting room. Walking as if nothing happened. When she entered the elevator. Her knees finally gave up.

Earlier her knees were shaking for no apparent reason.

Is she afraid?

Or excited?

Will she last in here? Or she will go back in France?

But her Daddy is sick, and she is the only heiress of their company. She cannot leave him.

She's done many mistakes and sinned so much when she was young.

She just needs to avoid Lance.

Yeah right, as much as possible.

************************

The next day, she stayed at home. She only sent her secretary to monitor the company to give her some possible news if ever there's a problem that may arise when she is on leave.

And she wanted to avoid Lance too.

But that man is a pain in her head. He even went to their house pretending to visit her sick Dad.

He will never give her a peace of mind.

She locked herself in the room until she heard someone is knocking.

"Miss Nathalie are you there?" He is here! And she was nervous to hear his voice again.

She did not answer, but he will never surrender!

Knocking her door again and again. Too painful to hear.

She decided to open the door and there he is, smiling so sweetly.

"Finally, you open the door." He greets her with a wink. And her heart flutter a bit.

"Don't worry, I'm just here for your signature only." He said showing her some paperwork.

That's all the reason why he went in here?

Why Nathalie, is there more?

Are you expecting something?

Erase that scene on your dirty mind!

"Are you okay? You seem out of your mind. Maybe you're thinking of me? " He's trying hard to be cute.

"Excuse me! I'm thinking about business. " She denied.

Lance suddenly went inside her room and closed the door.

He is a walking temptation!

"What are you doing? Get out! The maids might see you here. "Lance just smirked at her and sat down on her bed.

Enticing her to lie down next to him.

But that was a mistake 6 years ago. She was ashamed of what happened in the past, but she did not regret what happened between the two of them.

"Please sign these papers, Ms. Nathalie. " He was still smiling while giving the documents to her.

He is tempting her again...

Would she give in?

No, Nathalie. This is wrong!

She takes the papers and was surprised when Lance pulled her into his embrace.

And they are both lying in bed.

Her, being at the top of him.

She can finally see, the face that haunted her dreams over those years...

Now, she remembered. She regretted for leaving him...

But, it's all useless. He is engaged and she is already married.

They will only both playing a fire.

Until she can control herself, she will, and will not give Lance the satisfaction of doing an act that they might both regret later.

She released from his grip and tried to stand up.

But Lance would not let go of his embrace.

"I miss you so much. All those years, I've been looking for you. I felt like I'm going crazy to wake up without you by my side. You left without even saying goodbye." He said while staring at her.

She did not answer. She is trying to control herself not to give in. And avoid his eyes.

Lance touches her face gently. She didn't know what to do and just closed her eyes.

"I miss this face, this body, I miss the whole you..." Lance voice is very gentle.

She opened her eyes, looking at his handsome face.

She can feel his warmness again...

And can finally touch him after all these years, but it's too late.

"Lance, we are not meant with each other. It's all in the past, so let's forget all of it. "Lance face turns sour.

"I don't care! You can really forget all about it? " Its a hurtful question coming from Lance.

No, But I need to...

"Yes, it's just a one night mistake. There's no special about it, a one-night stand and that's how it is." But her heart is saying, " It was never a mistake."

"Fine, forget it. But I will not. I will forever be your shadow wherever you go. " He answered with determination.

She wanted to say, that no need for him to do it.

Because he's been her shadow, during those lonely years. But she can't give him false hope.

"Let's go back to business. Let me sign that papers, and you can go."

Lance get up, but he didn't let go of her.

And the situation becomes more awkward.

Her, sitting on Lance lap.

"Here's the paper, sign it, Ms. Nathalie. " Then he handed the papers and the ballpen.

"Can you please let me go?" She thought that he already understood her explanation earlier but he is stubborn.

"Nope, And this is what I am telling you. I will be your shadow Love..." He said smiling and stole a kiss from her.

It's just a smack on her lips but she looks like she's going crazy.

If he will become her shadow, she will be living in the agony of hell.

Because Lance will continue tempting her and test her patience. That would be the death of her.

She sign the papers in a very awkward position.

And Lance just smiled as he watched her.

He is enjoying, while he is killing her.

"It's done, next time, Mr. Vergara. Let your secretary come to my house. "She said frowning.

"No, unless you will go back to work. I will stop coming in here. " This man won't really stop annoying her.

"Lance, I'm already married." He said softly.

His face darkens and his smile fades away, replacing a very dangerous smirk.

"I don't care."That's all he say.

He then took the papers with his signature and without looking behind, He left her room.

She cannot guess what he truly feels. If he's really sincere or just playing her feelings.

Did she hurt Lance?

Is he angry?

She is hoping that after she dropped the news on him. He will not bother her anymore so that they can work peacefully.

I'm sorry, Lance...

Chapter 2

He grabbed her dress wildly. And tear it!Then her body was exposed. Making him crazy for her...

He lifted her and dropped on his bed.

And kissed her hungrily as if there's no tomorrow.

She wake up panting and catching her breath. Those dreams again! It always haunted her for all these years. She stand up and get some water at her mini-fridge. She will be crazy staying at their home.

And she decided to work instead.

****************************

She finally felt at ease when she didn't see Lance at the office.

He has a meeting outside and it's tentative if his meeting will finish late or just in time.

She's praying that the meeting will tomorrow.

So that she can work peacefully and smoothly.

She is busy typing when suddenly someone cover her eyes.

Did she forgot to close the door?

Why he is here? Who allowed him to come inside?

And where is her secretary?

"Miss me..." He whisper huskily.

This is what they called in a song.

Temptation stay away from me...

"How did you come in here?" She asked annoyed.

Lance uncover her eyes and turn around her swivel chair to face him.

"There's no need to ask for that. I can go wherever I want to go. I bought dinner, let's eat." Then shows her the foods that he bought.

"No thanks, I will eat my dinner at home. Sally!" I called my secretary.

"I told all of them to go home. So, it's only the two us doing overtime." He happily answered.

He is crazy.

"No, I'm not crazy my love. We need to overtime." Showing her the contract of Chen Construction Company.

And now he can read minds?

Or you are crazy Nathalie?

They only shared for a night and yet Lance still remember all her favorite foods.

He peeled prawns and crabs for her.

In fairness he is good in it.

While she is always struggling in peeling prawns.

They are happily eating when her phone suddenly ring.

It's Andrew!

She is not sure if she will answer the phone or not.

"Your hubby is calling, answer it." Lance looks angry and jealous while pouting his lips..

But her hands won't move a single inch. She felt awkward if she will answer the phone.

But it's too late, Lance already accepted the video call button.

He wants to see the man who stole the love of his life.

"What did you do?" Nathalie ask irritated.

He is meddling in her personal business.

But there's no choice at all. She need to speak and say hello.

"Answer it." She can see that Lance was not in the mood anymore.

Why press the button if he will only get angry?

She has no choice but to show herself on the camera. Lance is very silent while listening on their conversation.

"Hello, my dear wifey." Andrew greeted while smiling sweetly at her.

Nathalie force a smile. Hopefully Andrew won't notice that she is only faking it.

"Hello hubby. How's the kids?" She ask happily.

Then suddenly it becomes noisy at the other line. Two cute little twins showed up at the camera.

"Mommy!"They called Nathalie in chorus.

And she is very happy seeing her little ones.

She missed her kids, so much! but her father needs her right now.

Andrew's business are there as well as his family also live in France.

After their wedding they decided to settle and live in there. And Nathalie agreed with it as she is avoiding someone too.

Or let us say, She wanted to hide from someone.

Lance is just silently looking at her conversation with her husband and kids.

She didn't know what was he is thinking as of the moment.

Ans she doesn't want to look at too.

"Hello babies, did you miss mommy?" I asked them lovingly.

"Kevin, miss mommy so much." Her babies are not a baby anymore.

They already grow up into a fine and handsome kids.

But 6 years old is still a baby for Nathalie.

Kenneth is just silent at the corner. He always have a tantrums.

Maybe it's because of the genes of their blood.

"Where's my baby Kenneth? Why so silent." Nathalie aks sweetly pretending brat she didn't see Kenneth.

Baby Kenneth just give her his signature smirk.

"Mommy don't love us, you left us in here." He said sadly.

"Oh, I love you baby, after you finish your school you can have your vacation in here, Okay?" I told them hoping they will be happy when they heard the news.

Baby Kevin is happily jumping and very excited to fly in the Philippines.

Baby Kenneth is happy too but he doesn't like to show it.

"Yeheyy! We a going to Mommy."Kevin shouted again.

"That's good. I don't like Tita Sam, she is always here in our house." Baby Kenneth said that makes Andrew looks pale and perspiration on his forehead are falling.

But Nathalie didn't notice it.

Lance eyes flickered seeing the face of Andrew. He looks familiar but he can't remember where he saw him.

"Samantha, Is that your cousin?" Nathalie asked hesitating as she and Samantha are not in good terms.

Samantha's blood will always boils when she sees her and Nathalie respected her and treated her as a big sister because she is Andrew's cousin.

She did not told Andrew because she wants a peaceful life.

"Yeah, she's been here for our business." He answered shortly.

"Say goodbye to mommy kids!" Andrew called and Kevin is just running and jumping around the room while the serious type Kenneth is playing silently with his tablet.

"Bye mom, Kevin loves you." Oh, her sweet little Kevin.

She really miss them.

Kenneth will always be Kenneth. He just say goodbye.

"Goodbye Mom." That's all he said. Kenneth is the man of few words. But she loves both of the twins. They are we life.

"Are you still at the office?" Andrew asks worriedly.

"Yeah, may tinatapos na urgent papers." Nathalie answered with a smile.

"Take care, I love you." Andrew said.

But Nathalie could not answer Andrew if he will said those words. Since before until now she felt sorry for Andrew.

I'm sorry Andrew...

Andrew just waved his hand and then ended the video call.

After the video call, there's a defeaning silence all over the office.

No one wants to talk.

What should I say? I don't have any topic to discuss with. Nathalie is talking with herself.

She felt awkward because Lance is just looking at her with furrowed eyebrows.

And she's wondering what kind of drama, he is portraying right now.

"Is your husband have an affair?" Lance asks seriously.

And Nathalie is shock upon hearing a hilarious question from Lance.

"What are you saying?" She annoyingly ask.

"Do you love him?" He asks seriously.

"Of course." I answered hesitating afraid to look at him.

"You don't love him, why stay with him?"

"Can we please proceed to business. It's getting late and please stop asking nonsense questions." But Lance only stare at her.

What's happening into him?

"Do you love me?" He suddenly asks.

She was caught off guard. She can't answer the question.

"I've been waiting for you all these years... Just to know that you are already married with a twins. But I decided to fight for you." Lance said with determination.

He is insane!

"Lance, there's nothing to fight. There will never be us. You are already engaged and I'am happily married. Can't we work peacefully?" He is making our situation more complicated.

"Are you really happy? I will cancel my engagement, there's no problem with that. We are just engage for business purposes only."He explained and so sure about his feelings towards me.

Somewhat it touches my heart.

But how could he can't understand the fact between us?

"Don't you understand? I am legally married!" I shouted. I'am getting angry.

"Then file a divorce or I will be your Mistress." He said seductively.

He is really out of his mind!

"Let's proceed to business, I really want to go home and rest." I said tiredly.

Nathalie knows that the past will remain in there. Those sweet memories between the two of them will never go back.

A sweet mistake that changed her life...

But Lance grab her instead that make her fall from his lap. And hotness spread all over her body.

Her knees felt weak. She needs to fight this feeling of her. Or else her beautiful family will be ruined.

But how?

She is at the claw of temptation right now. Inviting her to embrace the called of pleasure and desire.

Can she reject this handsome hunk in front of her?

Chapter 3

Nathalie

Me sitting on his lap is a total disaster! I can feel the hardness of his manhood.

And I admit it. I miss him, all of him!

But this is not right. I am a married woman already. Although I regretted it a little. Andrew is too good to me for giving me his family name as well as his love that until now I didn't even return the favor.

And now, what am I doing?

Iam going to commit a sin!

This must be stopped. Lance will always tempt me but I will try my best not to give in.

I stand up but he pulled me.

"Let me go! You know that this is not right." But he just smirked at me.

"What is right and what is wrong, Care to elaborate?" He asked and I know that he is teasing me.

"Stop it, Lance! Let's proceed to business so that we can go home." I told him seriously.

But for goodness sake, he only smiles at me!

And he looks dangerously handsome with that signature smile of him.

Oh, temptation won't you go away?

I guess it will not as long as Lance is there.

"Aren't we making a business right now?" He's insane!

"Give me the papers and let's proceed to something serious Mr. Vergara," I said being irritated because I am losing my patience right now.

"Sure, here it is..." But he hugged me instead. Kissing and giving me small bites on my neck.

Just what the! I felt all the hair from my back stand up.

I felt tingle!

Lance kissing my neck gives me mixed emotions.

A feeling that I can't forget from 6 years ago...

Those kisses that I missed...

Now I can hold Lance and he is real!

He is here, but will there be a chance?

There's no chance at all Nathalie, so wake up!

I refuse his kisses. But he is very persistent.

He keeps on kissing me.

Stubborn man!

He will always do what he thinks is right. Even if it's wrong, he will fight for it.

But is this right for him to fight for me? Am I worth it?

Of course, I am! But this is wrong.

We started it wrong at the wrong time too so we end up being separated from each other.

But you are the one who left Nathalie...

What can I do? It's all in the past. If I'm given a chance I will never leave him. But I already left. And there is no chance for us. Even if the world will turn upside down.

Then turn the world upside down!

Are you insane?

Yes, I'am crazy for talking on my mind.

"I miss you..." There's a longing in his eyes while saying this.

He truly loves me.

I'm sorry Lance if until now I'm still a coward.

I push him, but he only pulled me back in his arms.

Did I miss him?

There are no words that can explain how much I tried to forget every time I will miss him.

If I did not leave, what will happen?

I don't know! I felt dirty and angry at myself during that time.

For giving my virginity with him easily.

I thought that Lance is only playing with me.

And when he gets what he wanted he will leave and throw me away.

I am very afraid. And became a coward to face the consequences that I make.

I leave him and walked away.

Leaving him without saying goodbye after our hot intense lovemaking.

And now he is right here, in front of me. In a flesh! And he will never surrender.

I don't know!

"Nathalie... I can finally say your name my love." Lance said while hugging me tightly.

Yes the same with me. I only found out his name after 6 long years...

"Lance, let's proceed to business. I felt tired." I said whilw tiufhj my forehead..

"Are you okay? Let me..." Then he gently massages my head that makes me fall asleep.

I wake up feeling relief.

When I look at the clock. It's already midnight?

I slept that long!

Where is Lance?

My eyes are looking for him then he is just right beside.

He is peacefully sleeping like a baby. He has an innocent face.

That thick eyebrows and eyelashes that I admired from the beginning 'till now.

Those kissable lips that I tasted 6 years ago.

Now it's in front of me but I cannot touch.

"Lance..." I called him in a very soft and tiny voice. I don't want to wake him up.

My hand touches his face. And I am tempted to kiss him.

I lower my head and smack him on his lips. That would be enough.

It is getting late. I stand up and decided to finish our work tomorrow.

And suddenly he grabbed and pulled me down and now I am on top of him.

"Leaving me? That would never happen again!" Then he kiss me.

And the heat overflowed all over my body.

What should I gonna do?

This man is stubborn as always.

My patience will about to give in for temptation.

Control Nathalie! Just get out of there.

How? I am now enjoying the kiss!

He kisses like there's no tomorrow. My cold body becomes very hot.

I don't know what to do anymore.

I kiss him back. And we share those passionate kisses again from 6 years ago.

I wanted to let go but my body is holding him.

How I miss him so much but this is not right.

I push him but he wouldn't move. He deepens the kiss while caressing my left breast.

I let out a moan and for goodness sake, we are at the office.

Hopefully, no one will come back and witness what we insanely did.

After our kiss, I immediately stand up and walk out the door. It's better to be safe.

I will not touch Lance again or else I don't know where this romance will go.

"Afraid? But I told you my love that I will fight for you no matter what." There's a finality and determination in his voice.

But how can he fight? From what I heard his fiancee is a spoiled brat girl and is obsessed with him.

And she is coming home from her Europe vacation.

"You're insane, lets go home and continue the work tomorrow." He is unbelievable.

Well, that's who he is...

"Oh, You mean Katrina? I will break up with her when she returns." He casually answers as if he doesn't care.

Men...

They are a pain in the ass.

"Whatever, I will go home now. See you tomorrow." I open the door but Lance holds my hand.

"Wait, I will take you home." Then we went outside. I want to take back my hand from holding him but he entangled it.

"Relax, it's midnight, and all the employees are sleeping at this moment. But who cares?" He said smiling.

He's a stubborn childish.

But deep inside I'm dying of happiness.

Holding hands while walking. We didn't do it before.

Until we reach the parking lot, we are still holding our hands.

"I'm okay in here, see you tomorrow." I told him.

"Who told you? You will ride with me, my love..." He is really determined to win me back.

And I just let him

I know that this is the beginning of my roller coaster life with him.

And this time, I will face it and will never leave again.

I don't know what destiny has planned to me but I prayed that it will be good.

But only time can ever tell...

If in life success or fail.
