Daphne's POV My heart slammed so fast while I stared at those lines that crested alongside his forehead, like he was going to yank the hall down if I didn't say a name. My stomach flipped, I wasn't sure if these feelings I was having, I was supposed to have them. They didn't feel right to me, but I found myself leaning toward them. Craving and wanting them. “ I don't owe you an explanation for whatever purpose you think you are bluffing out trash. Let me be” I tried to shove him aside, walking past him when his hands wrapped themselves around my wrist. “ We are enemies, rivals in fact but still, I don't care. I will find whoever had hurt you and make sure the person pay just fine.” He swore.My anger flared up, toppling over the roof while I blazed my rage at him.“ I am fucking able to defend myself. What exactly do you think you are doing? I have been able to make sure of that all these days, and it isn't going to change. I can take care of myself just fine and that is something
Lorenzo’s POVThe door creaked as I shoved it open, the scent wetting my nostrils immediately I stepped in intoxicated all of my senses.I never knew that I had missed coming here this much but now, this was bringing back memories of the time that I had hurt those men because of Daphne and here, I was because of her yet again. The red tower. My heart swelled when I recalled that I had been here with Jack and now, I didn't know where exactly, he was. If he was dead or had ended up elsewhere, but I missed him. I missed him with everything in me, it was at times like this that I knew that I was all alone with not one person who knew me well by my side. Shaking those thoughts to the side, my eyes went to the Blondie strapped to the chair that kept fidgeting and swirling around, trying to figure where he was. I flicked on the light, turning them off again when I saw his eyes were fixed on the door. Then I did it again, watching as he screamed while I moved swiftly toward him. “ Arghhh
Lorenzo's POV With my hands placed on my face, I tried to think of something to do aside from Daphne's constant thoughts that punctured my mind, I had to think of a way to get back the contract that we had lost, I couldn't let it go. I would have, but not when I had seen the note that had shown up at my table a minute ago, calling me lazy and how I was a good for nothing, as a last resort, I had to do what I wouldn't think of doing, get her to come here. My hands slipped on my phone as I pushed it on the desk, clicking on it. When I was certain that she would be at her office, I sent her a message, one that had the picture of me drawing her. I knew that I would have her here soon, the way I wanted her to. She might have thought she had won, but there was no denying that she hadn't, and I would still get what I wanted. Her body was a part of it, what I wanted to do was consume her soul, wholly. I counted down to the minute while I waited for her call when the sound resonated, and
Lorenzo's POV “ Where have you been?” I was bombarded with questions immediately I stepped in, my brows puckered before my heart slammed so hard when I saw it, were those tears? “ What are you talking about? Since when do I get to explain where exactly I was and who I was with?” I retorted back at Helena, my heart squeezing when a tear dropped. Her finger poked my chest. “You…you…” she let out a puff before weaving her hands through her hair, my heart spiked at what might be wrong, but everything seemed fine. “I called you.” My steps halted when I tried walking up the stairs.“ Countless times, just to…just to let you know that…” she dragged in a breath. “ That Alexis slumped not too long ago, and you need to drag your ass here, but you couldn't even fucking pick up your phone” I flipped my head around instantly, my strides making their way back to her. “ What did you just say?” I asked with eyes squinted, she hadn't been playing with her words. She stood, barely meeting my g
Daphne's POV He sauntered off, his steps silent as he did so. His eyes demanding as they pierced through to me before he shook his head, stepping away with his fist clenched. He didn't utter a word, nor did he stare at me. I watched the car as its engine revved to life before it zoomed off, leaving a trail of dust behind. My hands patted my chest repeatedly, while I tried so hard to get rid of the pain that I felt, but it stuck then more. Gulping in, I forced down the spittle in my throat as I forced myself to spin around, my step falling into place as they moved back up the steps. “ Father” I let out an exhalation looking behind me when words rattled out. “I heard Lorenzo was here” I pulled my mouth open, wanting to give an answer, but I just couldn't. They refused to come out.“ And it is for his child, are you thinking of going there?” His eyes were searching, and I couldn't help but ponder what exactly he was thinking. The numerous thoughts that must be running through his mi
Lorenzo's POV “ What are you talking about?” I questioned, trying to ascertain that what I had heard wasn't false and indeed someone had shown up for Alexis. “ She said I shouldn't give up her identity, and that is precisely what I am doing, all you have to know is that the operation would be carried out soon, and Alexis will be safe”Chad gave me a squeeze on the shoulders, I couldn't help, but think it would be Talia, it had to be her. I edged closer, eyes fixated on him. “ Are you sure you aren't going to tell me who it is? By chance, does she have tattoos, purple orbs and…” He flickered his eyes infuriated. “ Are you trying to get me to speak against my wish?” I nudged his arms. “ It isn't like you haven't before, you have always been doing so, so what difference is it going to make?” Chad dragged in a breath, before glancing away. “ No!” He affirmed, storming off leaving me stunned. He was definitely not one who abided by the rules, so what exactly was going on now? When
Lorenzo's POV Drago? I knew that I should be expecting that at any time soon, he was certainly going to come in here, but I didn't expect that to be soon. My brows puckered as I sauntered in, with a flick of the knob, I stepped in, my eyes stormy as I took in his sight. He stood to his full height, from the couch, aside from the little white hair that had stumbled on his cheek, Drago looked the same to me. His eyes held a sudden smile when he saw me, before he placed a hand out, was he really expecting me to hug him? To hold him to myself? Really? “ What exactly are you doing here?” I found myself asking, pissed off as hell because I couldn't think about what would be the possible reason he would be here. I could recall that I had cut ties with him, was that not enough? “ Lorenzo…” he averted his head to the ground before staring back up at me. “ You are back” “ I am not back for you, why are you here?” I asked again, my voice rushing in octaves. I waited for him to give an a
Daphne's POV I had told myself countless times that this was wrong, it was so wrong that I wasn't supposed to even be here in the first place, but I couldn't help myself at all. I had paced up and down countless times, reminding myself repeatedly that what Lorenzo had said was wrong, that I wasn't the mother to his kids, that I wasn't the one he loved almost blindly, that he loved with his life. I had done so much research about her, and had found out that he loved her even more than himself. He had killed, and made whoever hurt her pay, and anyone would want to be loved that much, but I didn't want to believe that I was her. If I turned out to be her, whatever father had told me all of these times would turn out to be fake, and it wasn't going to be nice. Father wouldn't lie to me, he wouldn't hurt me. He loved me, but I found out that when I hadn't taken the pills, I had conflicted feelings, like everything was wrong with me, and I knew something was wrong. I found myself her
