Author's POV
He could already tell what she was thinking" Your clothes were really wet when you came in and you had a really high fever, moreover you know how light materials can be when there are wet, it could have being very distracting for the doctor so I had to take it off and make you wear something dry" the strange man said and Katy looked at him with so much killing intent "but of course I didn't do that myself I had the maids do that for you" he quickly added with a mischievous smile on his face before Katy could say anything , it was almost like he could read her thoughts.
After hearing what he had to say, Katy was so embarrassed that her ears turned really red which did not escaped his sight, "This man does have his way with words, what was a thinking? someone like him would never find someone like me attractive. The outfit is truly comfortable and even if it was just a two piece sweat suit it looks expensive, what's more? it's in my favorite color purple!! " so many random thoughts went through her mind as she sat down to eat.
"I did not know you had a doctor come to check on me, could never repay your kindness" Katy said during the meal and he smiled "I wouldn't expect you to know that since you were unconscious" he said and she gave an embarrassed smile.
While they ate he explained to her how she ended up in his place and since she was unconscious he couldn't ask her where she lived, as he explained she slowly remembered what happened last night, the image of Ezekiel with that girl in bed was still fresh in her memory.
He noticed her mood had slightly changed, so he decided to change the subject "Your friend had referred to you as Katy yesterday, am I right to I assume that your name is Katharina" he asked and took up his glass containing water. No one had ever pronounced her name so beautifully she thought and smiled at her shameful thought " You are correct, ,I am Katharina Miller , most people call me Katy, and you are?" she asked.
"I am Adriano , you can just call me Adrian , Did you grow up in Italy? I noticed you speak a bit of Italian "he said and she smiled "Truth is I have never being to Italy, my mom is Italian so she taught me a bit" Katy told him, "hmmm" was his reply and they continued the meal in silence but the silence was surprisingly not awkward but comforting for Katy.
"Thank you so much Adrian for the wonderful meal and for everything, I really do appreciate it and I am sorry for the troubles and inconveniences I must have cost you during my stay here , I will be taking for leave now" Katy said and she stood up from the dinning table.
Adrian stood up, walked towards Katy and placed his palm on her forehead, Katy immediately flinched "You still have a bit of a fever so I will drop you off" He said and walked toward his vanity table to pick up his car keys and a white bag," ohh no you don't have to" Katy protested.
"I promised your friend that I would ensure you get home safely, come on let's go, I care a lot about my d*ck. After you please.." Adrian said and he held the door open for her and gestured to her to use the door. "What does taking me home have to do with his d*ick?, maybe he is pervert" Katy thought as she walked out of the room.
"You have a beautiful home" Katy said to him as they descended the stairs, "mmm thank you" he replied ,it was a really beautiful mini villa and the air there was so fresh that one would think it was at the outskirts of the city," the air of the rich is indeed different" she thought.
The ride home was really quiet , in about 45 minutes a Rolls Royce phantom pulled up in a front of a shabby neighborhood, "this car looked so out of place here" Katy thought and felt a bit embarrassed. "Thank you so much for all your help" she said as she undid her seatbelt . "mmm, make sure you eat properly, have enough rest and take the drugs in here and... just a moment.." Adrian said handing the white bag he took from the house earlier over to her before reaching to the backseat for Katy's bag, it was the bag she was holding the day he found her " your clothes and cell phone are in it. Katy was so touched "Many thanks to you again Mr. Adrian I could never repay your kindness, if we run into each other again I promise to treat you to a meal, okay? "Katy asked and he smiled "it's a deal Miss Miller" Katy returned the smile, alighted from the car and waved at him before heading to her apartment.
"O my God Katy! thank goodness you are finally home , I was so worried about you. what happened last night and why did you need saving from a stranger? That man, did he really save you?" Jane fired so much questions at Katy immediately she saw her as she gave her a hug and examined her body to make sure she was alright.
"You need to calm down Jane I am okay now , just let me sit I will answer all your questions" Katy said , "So sorry sweetie, I got carried away , come and sit " she said as she pulled Katy towards the couch . "Tell me what happened , you said you were going to Ezekiel's place how did you end up lost in the streets?" Jane asked again.
Katy remembered the scene she had witnessed at Ezekiel's place last night and her eyes began to water, she couldn't face her best friend because she had warned her about Ezekiel several times but she was blinded and her love for him and never saw his many fault. "Ezekiel he.... I am so sorry I never listened to you about him" that was all Katy could say before bursting out in uncontrollable tears.
Apart from the one time when Katy's mom was so ill back then in college, Jane had never since her cry this much so she understood that her best friend must be really hurt so she gave her a really long hug and comforted her until she was calm , Katy then explained everything that had happened that night to Jane .
"That stupid son of a b*tch, how dare he do that to you, I always knew he was a dog, I am going teach him a lesson and make sure he regrets making you cry, how dare he" Jane said and stood up, "where are you off to?" Katy asked, she knew her best friend really well she was not one to let her loved ones get the shorter end of the stick lying down. "What do you mean? I am obviously going to make that jerk pay, I will make sure to chop off the tail between his legs ,dice it bit by bit ,put it in his favorite pasta and serve it to his dog.
As funny as it might sound Katy knew that Jane was not one to make empty threats, when they were both in third grade, she broke a boy's arm because he tried to bully Katy by breaking all her pencils " Girl, he is not worth your time ,can you please spare him? you are too young to go to Jail" Katy begged , "alright I won't hurt his precious d*ick" Jane said , to be a safe side Katy made Jane promise not to go after Ezekiel but knowing Jane she would try to hurt him in some other way so she made a mental note to keep a close eye on her.
"Moving on to more important matters, who was that Man who saved you? When I spoke to him on the phone he sounded so sexy, if I wasn't so worried about you I would have definitely flirted with him, I wonder if he is as sexy as his voice" Jane said and Katy laughed.
"Honestly, there is no redemption for you, his name is Adrian, he seems to be really wealthy and yeah.... he is really sexy" Katy admitted ,"did I hear you say rich? he must also be nice for him to rescue you and nurse you back to health. Tell me is he married ?" Jane asked and Katy laughed "I doubt he is married, he looked like he was single" she replied. " Great! that is the sort of man I need to set you up with, please tell me you collected him number" Jane said looking at Katy hopefully "you are never serious, that sort of man would never pay attention to me, plus I am not ready for any sort of relationship right now" Katy stated and left for the room and Jane followed.
"What do you mean by that? you a 100% hot and every single man would want you" Jane said , "whatever you say" she replied and headed for the bathroom. Jane understood that her bestfriend was going through a heartbreak so she didn't want to pressure her into anything but she wanted her to understood that she was really beautiful.
It's past midnight and a young man can be seen at the highest floor of Russo Investment 's central branch located at the heart of the city, he tried concentrating as he had so much on his table but his mind keeps drifting to one particular face, "those pitiful eyes and beautiful smile" he thought.
He remembered vividly the look on his butler, Mr. Gabriel's face when he walked into the house with her in my arms last night , it was almost impossible to catch a look of surprise on that man's face, it was like he was always prepared for anything, even that day 15 years ago when he had first seen him with a bloody knife in his hands and blood soaked clothes, there was no hint of surprise on his face but last night for the first time in his 26years of living Mr. Gabriel encountered something he didn't look prepared for.
He wouldn't blame the old man, even he himself was shocked at what he had done ,apart from his mother and sister, he had never brought any woman into his house. He had, dated multiple women but he never brought that home, whatever had with women which wasn't business ended at hotel rooms , he wouldn't call it dating but transactions, He gives them money and in return they give him sexual pleasure , he never keeps one girl around for more than a month so they don't start wanting more.
"She is indeed an interesting girl not to know who I am since my face has being on the front cover of almost all the magazines and newspapers these days, her facial expression changes so fast but I could easily tell what she was thinking. She is indeed really beautiful, those lips were too inviting, he wasn't lying when he said her wet clothes were distracting, it nearly gave him a hard on. Thinking about her has made me horny, I really need to f*ck someone soon" he thought with a smile on his face, he was so occupied with his thoughts that he didn't sense the presence of someone else.
"It seems to me that for the first time Mr. Russo Adriano is slacking on working" a voice that finally pulled him out from his thoughts stated.
