Flames Of Devotion [ON HOLD]

Burning Tension.

• Desiree sits at the table , making herself comfortable, the meeting door starts to open and suddenly everything was in slow-motion.. •

[DESIREE'S POV]
As soon as this man entered the room, all eyes were instantly set on him. I couldn't stop staring at him, he was definitely easy on the eyes. I could stare at him for ages. His tattoo's, and rings made him look extra sexy, this man was out-of-this-word attractive.

[LORENZO'S POV]
I entered the room, all eyes were on me, but thats just the effect that i have on people. But my eyes went directly to the women with the beautiful grayish-hazel eyes, and beautiful, wavy black hair. She's stunning. I could tell she has a fierce and careless mentality, it's the look in her eyes, i'm going to have fun with this one. 

  ALEX: Mr. Taspíero! Please meet Miss Sanchèz!

• Desiree stands up, and walks over to Lorenzo to shake his hand, he gently kisses her hand, staring into her eyes •

LORENZO: Its a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sanchèz.

DESIREE: Likewise, Taspíero.

[DESIREE'S POV]
I can't lie, the tension between me and Lorenzo was deep.. It was burning, but i know better than to get romantically involved with someone like him. I can see right through him, he's a ruthless person, i would be an idiot to get involved with him. This will be strictly business.

[LORENZO'S POV]
This is the first time a women hasn't put "Mister" Before saying my surname. The look in her eyes made chills run down my spine. I could tell women needed to know who I am, and what I am capable of.

LORENZO: So, i've heard we have a common enemy.

DESIREE:  I don't have enemies. I have opponents, and i always tend to win.

LORENZO:  That's cute, but this isn't a game. I don't tread lightly when it comes down to my money. Anyway, Cyrus, what did you have in mind?

CYRUS: You guys will have to come together to overpower Vance. Not only does he have over 300 business running throughout the world, he's very much capable of stealing your business from under you.

LORENZO: Get to the fu*king point cyrus.

CYRUS: We'll need Miss Sanchèz to befriend him, she's alluring, she'll be able to attract him in no time. During that, she'll lure him in. And we could end him, once in for all.

ALEX:  Why can't we just end him on the spot?

LORENZO: Because he deserves to feel betrayed, He needs to suffer a slow, and painful death. We will go through with this plan.

DESIREE:  Hold on now, i didn't agree to this. I'm not just some cold blooded murderer • her mind goes blank, and she begins to feel dizzy •

LORENZO:  Luckily you won't be the one doing the cold blooded killing then, eh?

DESIREE: I won't go through with this.

LORENZO:  You don't have a choice, Sanchèz.

DESIREE: Excuse m-

LORENZO:  Do you want to save your little art business, or not?

DESIREE:  Did you just try to downplay my company, you as*hole?

ALEX:  Woah, can everyone relax? Look Desiree, this is just how we do business here. You won't be doing anything but saving your business, and gaining extra money. Is that so awful?!

DESIREE:  Listen Alex, i'll think this over, and i'll call you. My business won't be disrespected. • she gets up, heading to the door • Nice meeting you, Cyrus. • she leaves •

ALEX:  She'll come around, Boss.

LORENZO:  I know she will.

• As Desiree is heading towards the exit of the building, she sees the man from the party last night •

RANDOM GUY: Hey! Stop that b*tch!

DESIREE : {I look at him in confusion & walks over to him} Who the hell are you calling a b*tch? You didn't learn your lesson last night?

LORENZO:  Hitting women? Who raised you? • as his gun is pointed to the guy's head •
