The Grand Mistress

Gabriella didn't know what to do, she glanced from Lucy to Primo, helpless. By the way it looked, it seemed that Lucy got over her obsession with Primo in just one night because of her. Should she just go home to Allegria Penthouses now and execute her first plan which was to chain herself to bed and never go out?

Just three steps away from Lucy dragging Gabriella, Primo's men lined up to block the two of them, disabling them to advance.

"Oh so you are resorting to violence now? How pathetic can that be?" Lucy turned to Primo, unintimidated by him. It was a rather a rare sight to see Primo being insulted by a woman and what was more shocking was that it was his number one fan who did it. 

Truth was, Primo disliked Lucy, among all others. She was the most blatant and shameless among all his fanatics. He thought she was overexaggerating her adoration on him and was only faking it to gain attention. She was afterall a celebrity.

"Gabriella is not leaving," Primo announced.

"So what? So can you make her your woman? Then after you are done with her, you'll just throw her out like all the women you had relationships with?"

"You have nothing to do with this Lucilla," Primo told her, emphasizing the fact that she was a stranger to his relationship with Gabriella. If there was anyone who should decide on leaving or not, it should be his dulzura herself and not Lucy.

"I am everything to this El Tigre," Lucy turned to her fully, her deep blue eyes met him head on. "Gabriella is my dearest best friend….wait..not bestfriend at all...we are more like sisters….and I had been looking up to her ever since she left the Monteria household,"

"I know for a fact that my Gabbie is naive and she must at all cost be protected from men like you—men who take advantage of women. How dare you make a move on her? She is pure! She is innocent! She's not like all those desperate women who climb on your bed! How dare you take her and ruin her!" Lucy's voice was filled with anger and thorough resentment. She knew the likes of men like EL Tigre—because they have many women at their use and disposal, they thought all others too, they can own.. "You'll pay for it! I'll make you pay!"

Lucy was so hurt, tears rounded up her eyes. She cannot imagine what El Tigre did to Gabriella and she knew the man had taken her innocence already. Eversine she learned about the news of Primo taking an interest in the Monteria heiress last night, she had her suspicions. She prank Gabriella just for fun last night but did not expect El Tigre would come to pick her. Good thing she was able to pull up the street's CCTV, if not, she could have turned the Monteria Villa down and made every Monteria confess why they kidnapped her.

"I don't think we have to explain ourselves to your friend Dulzura," Primo gave up talking to Lucy because he was very aware of her anger. She wasn't faking it. It seemed that she and his woman had really deep ties for her to go berserk and brave enough to show up in his territory. He was really surprised at this thought, but glad that Gabriella had a friend like her. It seemed that there was more to this attention seeker celebrity rather than her fame. "Tell her to leave and that you'll stay,"

"Gabbie, we are leaving," Lucy glared at Gabbriella this time, trying to not make her feel intimidated by Primo's words. "Don't worry I got you. You don't have to be afraid of him,"

"Excuse me, she is not afraid of me!" Primo certainly did not like how Lucy perceived things. Does she think she was threatening his woman? 

"Oh really? She doesn't look like she isn't," Lucy took note of the way Gabriella hid at her back and was shaking. Only did Primo notice that indeed, if you looked closely, she looked very terrified.

"Dulzura?" His woman's appearance sponsored a guilt in Primo's heart. Had she been afraid all night of him? However, she seemed very okay with how things went but why was she shaking in fear now? Already worried, Primo walked toward the two hurriedly to attend to Gabrriela but he was halted by a few big men that suddenly came from nowhere and blocked his way.

"I see you brought your men..." Primo noted as he tried to count how many there were with Lucy. Because he was all focused on Gabriella, he did not notice that there were indeed few cars parked at the front gate of his mansion. So Lucilla brought a battalion to fetch his woman? Whew!

"Your reputation made me do so," Lucy noted again, hitting something in Primo's pride. The celebrity was basically emphasizing to her how different his lifestyle was with Gabriella. He was like the king of hell while she was a princess of heaven. Primo didn't like such truth, it made him feel very unworthy of Gabriella yet he wasn't willing to lose her. Now that Lucy was trying to make boundaries, he didn't like it, especially not because it was about his woman. He cannot make this pass.

"Gabriella is not leaving me!" Primo's voice then was on the tone his subordinates found alarming. Primo was never a patient man and so him trying to hold of his anger was already a big leap on his part but he wasn't use to such so his men were afraid he might break lose any moment then.

"You wish!" Lucy cussed. "How dare an old man like you pick on Gabriella. How old are you? Thirty five? Thirty four? God!  You are seven years older than her! You old fool!"

Primo's eyes went bloodshot, he squeezed his way through Lucy's men ready to grab Gabriella. However Lucy's men weren't easy one either, so at the first contact, there was jabbing and kicking that happened in front of Gabriella and Lucy's eyes!

Immediately, Lucy's men drew their guns and Primo's men followed the same instinct! In just one second, gun's were raised as eyes went sharp, ready for backup, while Primo was having a fight with one of Lucy's men.  In just once three swift moves, Lucy's men fell on the ground hard, but the fight wasn't over. The man, slumpy, stood however, there was blood on his mouth and Gabriella panicked at it! 

"Stop! Stop!" Gabriella shouted in the midst of them. How could the situation turn this worst? Can Primo and Lucy just talk in a peaceful manner? What's wrong with these two?

"Come here and I'll stop," Primo demanded her to do so. Gabriella looked at him helplessly but Lucy was holding her other arm tight. She didn't want any blood and was worrying about Primo getting hurt but she did not dare disobey Lucy too. Apart from all the people here, it was only Lucy she knew loves her the most. As per Primo, despite his confession, she had not yet checked whether his words were true or not.

"Gabriella if you won't come here now, I promise you'll see in blood," Prim threatened. The sight of his woman not fully trusting him was making him wild and insane. He had never felt this desperate before, more so with women whom he never really had problems with, not until he laid his eyes on Gabriella. She was like a drug to him and her, not being around, would render him crazy. 

Seeing that the woman did not move and only just looked at him, Primo was furious. He took a minute to take off his watch, put it on the front of his car and made a stance. Then right away, he started grappling Lucy's men. There were ten of them versus him and Primo cued his men not to get involved so they just waited at the sidlesliness and let their boss spend his frustration on their nemesis.

Gabriella's expression was terrified all the more. Although Primo doesn't look like he was being beaten, she was still afraid he would get hurt. 

"Primo!" Gabriella tried to plead with him by calling his name. Why can't he just let them go? She was only with Lucy anyway? Why does he have to push violence just because he cannot have his way on her? This man is really crazy! El Tigre is crazy!

The worst, El Tigre had gone berserk. He was mad and furious that he was already exerting too much violence in Lucy's men without mercy. His hands were bloodied so were Lucy's men yet he seemed not satisfied. With bloodshot eyes, he picked on one of Lucy's men who was trying to get on his feet and jabbed on him, again and again. Seeing one of their comrades being beaten, the rest aimed at him together.

Wanting to end all the violence and to protect Primo, Gabriella looked at Lucy, her eyes begging. That way, Lucy was a bit stunned at Gabriella's reaction and she immediately let loose her hold on her. Now that she was free, the Monteria heiress ran toward the El Tigre. Lucy's men were alert enough to notice the change of positions and so they made way for her. 

"Have you gone mad?" Gabriella reached him and immediately cupped his face so he could look at her. His tiger eyes were on a hunting mode but when it landed on her, it quelled.
