The Grand Mistress

"He's not my boyfriend…" Gabriella denied the whole thing while she was murdering the food she was cooking. Her expression was smoking, just like how the recipe she was cooking was smoking hot too.

"You and Gabbie….." Simione's expression was dreadful. She put her two hands on her head and squeezed it as it felt like the whole thing was making her go crazy beyond repair.

"Dulzura..come now…let's go home and talk," Primo intentionally raised his voice so Gabriella could hear it. The kitchen was just nearby so he knew she could hear him.

"I'm already home and I don't f*cking talk to jerks! Go away!" Gabriella cussed and it only made Simione want to shrink. Does she know what kind of person she was cursing? How could she treat the El Tigre this way!

"Gabbie…I think you guys should—"

"Stop Simione, I told you to close the door!" Gabriella cut her completely. "That man is a cheater just so you know. I caught him this morning!"

Hearing the accusation immediately got Simione's eyes grew big and she dragged it into Primo's face who instantly grimaced at guilt. Sensing that what Gabriella said was true, Simione glared at Primo hard and immediately closed the door at his face.

Slammed!

Faced with a closed door, Primo's eyes went hard. He knocked once again hard but the two marias inside didn't open the door for him again. Frustratedly angered, he was about to summon  his men to crash the door down but a voice dragged his attention away.

"Displaying your evil temper won't work on her," Lucy arrived carrying a red bag with her that perfectly matched her red stilettos. "You dared show up in here,"

"I'm going to get my woman no matter what it takes,"

"Okay fine," Lucy smiled deviously at it. "But don't blame me if she will hate you more. Can't you see she's an angel, she's not used to violence,"

Primo's face only became more angry. In regular days, no one was able to stop him from whatever he wanted to do, not even a woman but how was it that his woman—Gabriella, teamed up with this singer—Lucy, can make him shamelessly stop in his tracks. Damned! 

"I respected Gabriella's decision when she chose to stay with," Lucy reminded him. "As a man of honor, you should do the same,"

"I didn't agree to any terms or honor,"

"It was an implied rule created by Gabriella herself," Lucy pointed. "Respect her decisions and your life will be a lot easier. She's not a doll you can tossed and just play with,"

Lucy's warning bore so many meanings but all of them hit Primo's pride. Lucilla knew where to hit him and indeed his guilt blurred his mind and he knew right then he can't indeed force himself on Gabriella. His fist balled shakily at that.

"You know Primo's just an advice," Lucy walked past him and pulled her keys to open the door. "Gabriella is an angel and a devil like you shouldn't dream of having her. If you cross the line, be ready to burn with the divine light,"

That was all and Lucy carefully opened the door, slid herself in and closed it once again, leaving Primo pondering in his thoughts.

"A devil like me…." He repeated Lucy's words and became more pissed than he ever was  "Do you really wish to see how devil am I, Lucilla Dimitri?

Primo stayed turned to the closed door with all his anger. His evil self was looming in, ready to call back, smashed the door and dragged his woman back to his mansion. However, just as he pulled his phone to instruct his evil plan, a message popped up right away.

It was from Lucilla and when he dared open it, she was welcomed by the video of Gabriella crying on the floor miserably. 

"Fuck it!" Primo cussed as his anger melted away. Swallowing his hurt, he sighed and closed his eyes before he decided to just peacefully leave the penthouse.

"Gabbie don't cry anymore," Simione felt so guilty when she saw the girl. She went on earlier and confronted her about Primo but Gabriella ignored and continued cooking obsservively. However, just after a while, when she pestered her even more, surprisingly, Gabriella just broke down and cried.

"That man…he dared show up here…sniff….sniff…He just broke my heart and..sniff…sniff..he's acting like nothing had happened…sniff….sniff…"

"But at least he came…Erwan never came to appease you when he cheated on you," Simione noted but her words only made Gabriella cry even more. "Oh, I'm so sorry Gabbie,"

Lucy only shakes her head with the two and holds a deep sigh. "Simione, you are so bad and comforting our friend.."

"Eh? Lucy, why don't you just help me?"

"Why would I?" Lucy glared at the both of them. "I already did my part warning you two about men. I told you their kind are nothing but filthy animals but you dare both fall in love with the worst kind of them…the wild ones ...."

"Why do you keep saying that when you yourself are so fond of them," Simione retorted back sulking because obviously, Lucy was making the truth obvious.

"I'm not fond of them, I'm playing with them, there's a difference," Lucy pointed.

"So you're allowed to play with them and we can't?" 

"You don't know what you are talking about Simione," Lucy's expression hardened. "Just in case you don't know, before I played with men, I lost in their games first a million times. I don't want you two to experience that,"

Lucy said so and left the two in the kitchen. She gracefully climbed the stairs as if there was nothing to what she said but the truth was, her heart, which had long been dumbed, ached suddenly for a moment. Secretly, she held into her heart and whispered in a way that only she could hear.

"Lucilla you had been through with this already….it's been so many years already.."
