Bewitched His Soul

After few steps Hazel turned back to look at him while Enzo waved his hand and mouthed ,"Now go."

He was staring at her until she disappeared from his sight and then started the car with a heavy heart.

There was one week left for exams , and this time Hazel was little more serious than the previous times. All thanks to Enzo who helped her with preparing notes , patiently explained the topics and at last gave her confidence that she can crack her exams.

After Enzo departed they were only able to talk twice . First time the conversation went up to half an hour and second time when she called they just talked for few seconds then she heard Enzo's assistant telling that there is some emergency . So Enzo told he will call later but he never called her back. She tried to call him but his phone was switched off. Later she was not able to contact Enzo and her mood was off.

Enzo has been so busy lately that he had no time to even have proper rest or meals .There was a project which was supposed to start this week but at the end moment they got a notice from the court stating they broke  few protocols.

Enzo has personally checked all the documents before approving this project but then suddenly this notice put everything on hold .When Enzo enquired he got to know that this rivals have bribed the government officials to charge false cases against him.

So Enzo did what was necessary and punished his rivals' severely and the government officials who took bribes lost their jobs. After a long tiring day he came back to the house and was surprised to find a beautiful woman waiting for him in the living room.

The woman was flipping a magazine but as soon as she became aware of his presence she stood up and introduced herself.

"Hi , I am Marley ,"the woman stated.

"Hmmm… I don't remember having an appointment with you ,"Enzo said.

He thought she may have come to talk about business .She was wearing a blazer , hair tied up in  a bun and those black shoes made her look professional .On top on that she had  an aloof expression and her body language gave off cold vibes.

"No , you are mistaken. I am not here for work purpose .I am your father's business associate's daughter ,"Marley smiled and forwarded her hand.

Enzo did not bother to shake hands with her and he noticed her smile looked so calculating .Marley  became embarrassed seeing Enzo did not reciprocate her gesture and took back her hand.

"So what brought you here ,"Enzo asked directly .

He just want  to hit the bed and had no time to deal with any kind of drama.

Marley pretended as if she did not understand his impatience behavior and said ,"I have yet to have my dinner ,  it will be nice if you join me."

"I had my dinner and I don't  believe you came here all the way to have dinner with me ,"Enzo replied. He did not lie this time as he had dinner with  some of his clients just now.

"No problem , you can just accompany me. We can…,"Marley was interrupted by Enzo.

"Let's not waste anyone's time . Just say the reason for your visit ,"Enzo stated rudely.

"Looks like you are tired .You can freshen up and come down . I will be waiting for you ,"Marley acted as if she did not hear him.

"I have nothing more to say. The door is towards the left ,"Enzo pointed his fingers and climbed the stairs without waiting for her reply.

As soon as Enzo was out of her sight , Marley's face became dark and she crushed the handbag in her hand. No one dared to insult her to this level and she was only tolerating all this because he was Lorenzo Santoris .She just needed to have little more patience and put on an act in front of Enzo until she got what she wanted.

She looked in the direction where Enzo went and for a second thought of going and  knocking his door. Then pushed the idea aside as she know Enzo was not like other men who operated on emotions , he was a rare specimen who saw his loss and gain in every situation .

So she needed to  calmly explain how her deal was beneficial to both of them. She decided to try again tomorrow morning and went away.

Enzo did not bother much about her because he went to deep sleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Next morning when Enzo was having breakfast the door bell rang .The housekeeper went to open the door and Marley entered the house.

"Hi,"Marley gave a seductive smile and this time her attire was completely changed .She was wearing a purple knee length dress, hair curled up , full face makeup and her perfume hit his nostril even though he was sitting far from her.

She slowly put a strand of hair behind her ear giving a delicate and feminine vibe .Enzo frowned as one look at her told him she did not have good intentions .So many woman have tried to seduce him that now he can guess just by having one glance at them.

But one thing which was different in Marley was that she not looking at him with adoration or worshipping gaze. For a split second she even looked like it was a punishment for her to even talk with him.

"Oh , scrambled eggs that's my favorite ,"Marley said in fake enthusiasm . Enzo did not say anything and continued eating .While Marley shamelessly sat in the chair opposite to him and told the housekeeper she will also have the same as him.

"Congratulations on your new project .All news channels were talking highly  about you , it's such a risky project and everyone were having second thoughts to take it but  only Santoris were brave enough to come forward …,"Harley kept on praising him.

Few minutes later Enzo had finished the breakfast and after wiping his mouth with a tissue he stood up and walked passed her .

Marley panicked  and kept the fork in her hand down as  she got up to chase him.

"Mr.Lorenzo , wait ,"Marley ran behind him but it looked like Enzo had no intention of stopping.

Finally she catches up with him and touched his arm.

"Don't ...,"Enzo snapped as he turned back.
