Lost In His Emerald (COMPLETE)

Chapter 14

Both of them tossed and turned on their beds. Anxious was no way to describe how they felt then. Bella stood in front of her mirror staring at her reflection.

"Hello Mr. Hernandez ...no no.. That would sound too fake...should i refer to him as Mr Hernandez?... Or should I compliment him, or flirt with him... Atleast that way he won't be able to suspect it's me.. Right?... Oh i donno " No matter how she tried. Her speech wasn't good enough. She thought of ways to converse with him without selling herself off.

"Ms, Diana?Pleasure to meet you... Ah no noo nooo... That's too common... How am I supposed to catch her interest now.. This has never been complicated... So then why is it now... " Tory on the other side was on his millionth rehearsal.

They had to have enough sleep, and they knew it. The Annual Ball was all about leaders of different mafias getting together, putting their differences aside and getting business deals and connections. They were all murderers. Very dangerous people. They wouldn't think twice before blowing your brains off your body.

But that wasn't an issue for Tory and Bella. They were superior. They were powerful and feared. Their mafias were most powerful of all. Now they had a partnership with each other and were to discuss the terms of their deal. But Erico Hernandez had something else in mind. And his son had to get it whether he liked it or not.

Bella lay in bed, hoping she wouldn't tremble at the sight of him. She was scared of him, she disliked him...but now she had to get over her negative feelings towards him.

Tory had no idea who Diana Styles was...He lay back in bed as he waited the hell of a night that awaited him.

She swayed past the paparazzi, not a minute to spare for their unending questions. In this place she was a totally different person. A multi billionaire. A heiress of a mafia. A powerful woman that would make a mere citizen tremble from just her presence.

Her hair was dyed black, tightly and almost painfully tied back into a ponytail with a long extension hanging down the small of her back, not a single strand sticking out. Her makeup was perfect, divine and intimidating. Her silver silk dress hugged her curves perfectly, not exaggerating a single feature in her body. The slit went all the way till mid thigh, exposing the rose tattoo on her right thigh.

She smiled tightly, displaying her powerful presence as people stopped to acknowledge her. And he did too. He turned around, to meet the person that had him stay up all night. She looked around, instantly mystified as they locked eyes.

He was absolutely luscious, she could see it. She had to act cool as much as she was petrified. His steps were slow and seductive, not breaking their gaze for a second.

"You look hypnotic my lady " He complimented with a smile as Diana's shoulders tensed, a blush making its way to her cheeks. She quickly covered it up, but he noticed. And it was the most entrancing thing he had ever seen. She was exhilarated by herself.

"Are you by any chance flirting with me, Mr, Hernandez " She nagged.

"If I was, you wouldn't be questioning it.." He stated in a honeyed voice and winked.

Act cool...act cool. Diana mentally reminded herself.

"Very well then, let's get some privacy and review the terms of the deal..shall we? " She mentioned with a smile and he smiled back with a nod.

But then he tensed when it finally hit him. That voice. Her voice. The lady beside her was the complete opposite of Bella... But her voice.. Her aura..
