PROLOGUE
2013 Spring
Besides the occasional influenza bug, Laureen rarely caught anything. But on this night, she caught the fragrant bouquet of flowers from her friend and former workmate, Kathy White! She also caught the attention of Mr. White's sexy-as-hell playboy and billionaire cousin, Matthew "Matt" Lamonte.
"Beautiful!" Matt grinned as he gave Laureen a salacious glance.
Laureen was playing with the flower petals of the arrangement when he approached her at one of the tables on the lawn.
Of couse, he was dangling the lace garter that his cousin stripped from his new bride's thigh using only his teeth. That was quite an X-rated sight to behold!
Did sexiness run in the family? It certainly looked like it. Matt had a few glasses of wine and seemed quite mellow on this eve.
The music was blazing from the speakers in the dimly lit garden reception. The night was fresh and crisp. And Matt was, well… fresh!
"Thanks, Matthew!" Laureen flushed. Matt was not her type. She was officially married. He was a player. Period. She saw the way he flirted with every other girl at the Diamond Ball a couple of weeks ago. Why, surely, he didn't think she was some fly-by-night girl, did he?
Matthew? Matthew caught the garter? Good grief! Marriage material, he was not!
"Would you like to dance?" he extended his hand. And his voice, it was oh so deep. It commanded respect and oozed sexiness at the same time. It was as if to challenge her to say no. it was more statement than question.
Oh, God, there was the flirtatious thing going on again. Hell no! My absent husband is missing, players are just not my type and I'm still married!
She had heard too much about Matthew's reputation with the women. The countless women. He was smooth as warm caramel and could be just as sweet with his mouth. Laureen felt terrible having thought that.
"I'm married"
"So? Is your husband around?"
What harm could one dance possibly do? It wasn't as if he had asked her to board his private yacht or anything like that. Heck, it was her good friend's wedding. People dance at weddings. Nothing wrong with that.
"It's just a dance"
She shrugged with a sigh, "Okay…" Laureen finally agreed. Her mind was telling her one thing but her heart was speaking a whole different language.
"It's just one dance", she told herself. 'Nothing more has to come of it."
So why did she get the feeling this would not be the last time she would see Matthew Lamonte?
(**)
Mr. Lamonte wrote in his letter of resignation: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Lamonte's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."
(**)
"Is there any real chance he could be yours?"
He let out a long sigh and nodded, "I had completely forgotten that detail..."
"That's so weird. She used to be so obsessed with you. Maybe you're seeing too much..."
(**)
"I don't know who you are or used to be anymore. I wonder if you really ever loved me!'... "So you're taking revenge on me!"... "You're punishing me?""
Hello guys, here I am again. I thank everyone who clicked the story :D
Te Amo means I Love You
And for my old readers, we have finally come to the start of the end of this "fairytale". I hope you will enjoy the journey.
All good things come to an end and I must say I'm quite sad with that. Never said goodbye to a saga before.
At least I know I will have you, so everything you feel, I will feel too. We will be together and supporting one another. We will suffer together xD
Stay Tuned!
