Book two: Chapter twelve

Warning ⚠️ : chapter not edited

Luigi's POV

I turned to the most beautiful woman beside me and lifted her hands to my lips, I kissed her knuckles before entwining them with mine.

My heart swelled with immense pride, contentment and giddiness just by gazing at her, she was a package, I mean a full package that any man wouldn't think twice taking home.

I would have been a very big fool if I hadn't taken the bold step of going to her house and making things right between us. I tried so hard not to chicken out, I was ashamed for how I treated her.

My behaviour was uncalled for, I should have know better, Zuri never lies. It's a fact we humans do lie from time to time but she doesn't to me.

I realized there was truth in her allegations yesterday after I went home and thought about what transpired after I had cooled down but by then it was too late.

I had pushed her away farther than I intended to, I was ashamed and chickened out in calling her. I wanted to stay put and not do anything else to hurt her more.

The realization dawned on me maybe there was someone out there who wanted to see us apart, through creating a confusion between us. There was someone who successfully got into her head making her do all that yesterday but why?

I had no answer to it but I hope to get it soon and oh boy, I'm going to make them pay for every tear she shed and every ounce of pain we both went through.

It wasn't easy staying away from her and knowing I had hurt her so much and I'm glad it's all over, we've made up and I'm going to make sure we never get into any misunderstanding seeing we both suffered especially my baby.

Her room was a mess but not more than her appearance when I went over to her house. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot, her cheeks were stained with cheeks as she laid on her bed, my heart ached at the sight of her.

That also made me realize I had messed up big time, I had let my anger cloud my sense of reasoning and hurt a woman too good for me.

On the bright side, it's all good. Everything has been settled so its best if we pushed it to be in the past where it belongs and focus on the present and future which are looking promising.

Fortunately for us, Mr Tyndale the organizer wasn't offended by her actions and also said they didn't affect our chances of receiving an award in anyway.

It was the best news I had heard not in a long time. We're currently on our way to the venue, we're actually there. I've just driven into the car park and ready to kill the engine and get out of the car.

I'm extremely happy, the awards is something my family and I don't joke with so I'm really looking forward to with all eagerness.

Zuri's POV

It was 7:45pm when we got to the venue, I looked at the time to make sure we weren't late.

The much awaited Friday is here, the day for the Golden excellence Awards. I can't say I'm happy okay? I'm extremely happy! I'm so gay the events of Tuesday didn't ruin today and I promised Lui I was going to apologise to the man should I see him tonight.

I'm not fully convinced he is innocent, I still have my doubts. Doubts that I haven't made vocal and won't either. Lui wouldn't believe and because I don't want things to turn sour, I'm not going to say it and keep it to myself.

I will make sure to unravel the mystery surrounding him. I'm going to put him under surveillance the minute I set my eyes on him tonight while I enjoy the show which by the way we have to get to.
