If Loving You is Wrong

15: Detox

Antonio drove them to a flat in North London that was so big it looked a lot like her father's penthouse in upstate New York.

He didn't say a word to her on the drive over to the house and nothing when they entered and he marched up the grand staircase that greeted them.

Silently she followed him, not sure of what else to do but when they finally entered what was so obviously his bedroom; Antonio threw his jacket and briefcase onto the floor before turning to her with a face like thunder;

"HOW DARE YOU COME TO MY PLACE OF BUSINESS! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!"

Liana physically stepped back from him, shocked at his tone and language even though she knew she deserved his anger.

Now that she was less angry – mianly because she was now in his presence - she could see that she had behaved badly and said as much,

"I'm sorryantonio, I was just so mad at you..."

"So that gave you the right to come to my office and expose yourself to God knows who!" he was still yelling as he began to peel away his suit. Liana just stood there staring at him,

"Expose myself, what are you talking about?" he turned his angry eyes onto her,

"Anyone could have seen you, anyone could have known who you were and wondered what on earth you were doing asking to see me!" Liana felt bad,

"I'm sorry. Really I am but I wasn't about to let you get away with disrespecting me again!"

Antonio pulled his now unbuttoned shirt out of his trousers and practically ripped it off his massive arms making Liana swallow; her heart suddenly beginning to beat rapidly.

"Disrespecting you?"

"Yes, what do you mean by you can no longer see me?" His gaze turned to iron as he glared at her with no emotion,

"I think that was pretty self explanatory Liana."

His dismissive attitude made her see red,

"Don't talk to me like that," she snapped at him, stepping closer as she pointed her finger at his chest.

"Don't you dare talk to me like I'm stupid. I thought we'd settled everything!"

"We had, until your father came to see me today!"

Liana's eyes widened as she swallowed what felt like a rock in her throat,

"Daddy was there?"

Antonio groaned as he turned away and continued unbuckling his belt. He turned to her again, this time angrier than he had been before if that was possible.

"Yes! Your father was there, in my office and you turned up half an hour later! How would you have explained that if he saw you, how Liana?"

Liana didn't have anything to say because she had no idea how,

"I'm so sorry,"

"So am I. This, whatever this is...its over Liana."

Liana flew into a rage,

"Why do you keep jumping to ending it with me! What have I done to you!"

"Stop being childish, you've done nothing! Can't you see this is insane! I'm thirty-five, you're twenty-two; your father is my client. This is wrong in every way!"

"It wasn't wrong when you were balls deep inside me though was it." Liana said spitefully,

"Don't you dare,"
