PAST // LILIANA
"I have missed your sexy bum, come on in Lil's."
Lila's best-friend Stella opened the door, her face full of excitement as she pulled her into a warm hug. She had met Stella a few months after herself and Neymar had moved to Paris, she was one of the make-up artists she was working with on a shoot, they quickly bonded.
"Adriana said she would join us as well and guess what? She's bringing her new boyfriend!"
She laughed at the enthusiasm from the blonde; if anybody loved gossip, it was Stella. This was one of the main reasons why they had bonded, that and she was one of the only women she had met that didn't fancy her boyfriend.
Lila took a seat at one of the chairs next to the dining table, Stella handed her a very large glass of white wine. They both took a big gulp before they were interrupted by a knock on the door. She watched in shock as Stella opened the door to unveil Adriana and Hugo, hand in hand, laughing and joking with each other.
"Oh Adi, it's so nice to see you but why th—"
Before Stella could finish her sentence, Lila walked over and interrupted her. Adriana was none the wiser about the way Hugo acted with Lila, she didn't want everybody knowing about it. She knew he had a powerful family behind him, they could easily tarnish her career.
"You two are quite the pair. Anyway, this is my boyfriend, Hugo. Can we go eat? I'm starving!"

Dinner was awkward; Lila could feel Hugo's intense stare on her, he had spent more time looking at her then Adriana. Lila offered to clear the plates away; Adriana and Stella were too deep in their conversation to notice Hugo slip away, he slowly made his way to the kitchen. He stood in the doorway observing the Spaniard; he liked the way her hair softly fell down her back, he observed her tightly fit jeans which only enhanced her ass, he bit his lip as he undressed every inch of her body with his eyes.
He quietly walked over to her, tenderly placing his hands on her waist and spinning her around to face him. Lila took a deep breath; she tried to remove his hands from hers, but to no avail. She went to speak but he placed a finger over her mouth, he gently traced a finger over her lips.
"What do you want Hugo?"
"You."
Lila rolled her eyes at his response; she slapped his hand away, his smirk only grew wider. She found herself stuck in the same situation with him, it was becoming tiring. Everything he did to her caused an argument with Neymar; every message, every kiss, every time he touched her, but it wasn't her fault. But Lila couldn't help but blame herself, she wondered if she had done something to make him behave this way.
"What part of no don't you understand? P-please leave me alone."
Hugo smiled at her slight stutter, he gazed into her now glossy eyes. He didn't know how or why, he only knew that he was uncontrollably in love with this woman. He wasn't going to stop trying with her until he made her his, he hoped once she accepted it she would be happy with him.
"I will never stop chasing you. Je t'aime Lila."
Lila inhaled a shaky breath before stepping away from Hugo's grasp; she ran a quivering hand through her hair, mentally bracing herself. She needed to be strong, she needed to try and put an end to what was happening. She eyed the Frenchman who was looking at her with lust and hunger, he wanted to run over and claim her. He hated thinking she was going back to her boyfriend, the boyfriend that didn't deserve her.
"Please listen. You and I will never be together; I will never love you, I'm in love with my boyfriend and only him. I need you to listen to me because I mean every word I'm saying. You need to stop this; this idea you have of us together is never going to happen, I won't be working with you again and I won't be seeing you either. Goodbye, Hugo."

PRESENT // LILIANA + MIRANDA
I stared at the wall behind Miranda's head; I couldn't concentrate today, I felt like I had gone in reverse, all my thoughts were suddenly about Hugo again. I thought talking to somebody about my problems was helping me, until I started remembering all the emotions from the past.
"After your conversation with Hugo, how long was it until he contacted you again?"
I blushed; I thought back to the time I started receiving gifts at work, every shoot I attended there would be some sort of present waiting for me. It slowly became the main reason I enjoyed working so much, the gifts would leave a smile across my face.
"A month later. I didn't realise it was him at first; I kept the gifts a secret, only telling Stella, I thought they were from Neymar. After a shoot, I went home and thanked him for the present I had received that day; it was the most amazing bracelet I had ever laid eyes on, but he had no idea what I was going on about."
"Where they from Hugo?"
I sighed, running my hands through my brown locks. I peaked at Miranda through my fingers; she always looked calm, very rarely showing emotion, I admire that about her. Unlike myself, who's face showed every emotion I was feeling.
"Yes. I was surprised he left me alone for a month. After I realised all the gifts were from him; he turned up at my house, he wanted to speak to me but I wouldn't allow it. He kept sending letters, which I ignored. I saw him a couple of times after he got arrested; Neymar hired me a bodyguard, it worked up until that fatal night."
