Lorenzo's POV

I tried getting off the numerous thoughts swapping my head, but they stuck stubbornly, annoying me more than they already were.

With my back reclined against the chair, I kept stealing glances at my phone while my shareholders remained stunned.

“ Is something wrong?’’ a voice rippled through the air at me to which I barely stared back.

Was this what happens when you are in love with someone? I didn't quite love the feeling. It didn't dawn on me that well.

“ This meeting is canceled, we are to meet at a later date which will be disclosed to you all. ” my feet moved on a larger stride as I sauntered out, not minding the gobsmacked faces I was left with. I had never done this before, but could they really blame me?

“ There is something you should see” Jack donned his expressionless face, a storm brewing in his eyes.

I took the outstretched phone out, my eyes ran a quick glance through as my heart plummeted.

“ Daphne” her name danced out in a whisper as I tried to asce

    Daphne's POV Falling asleep wasn't part of it, but I guess crying myself to exhaustion until I couldn't feel relieved anymore was it. My hands strayed to the far end of the bed, devoid of warmth. Sitting upright, my wavy hair dropped over my face as I kept contemplating on what I was going to do to bring Lorenzo back to me. I should have told him the truth from the onset, but I guess fear had gotten the better of me and now, I had regrets. Forcing myself up, a grunt escaped my lips when I pulled the drapes aside to see the hazy light which told me it wasn't dark yet, I had just been hallucinating. Everything had happened in the morning and it was still the same day. The shrill of the phone piercing through my thoughts brought my dazed self back, my hands stretched out as I held it against my ears. “ Yes…” I spoke out to which a shuffling sound ensued, followed by whistles. “ Are you fine? You sound out of place”My eyes stung with tears, but I forced them back. “Didn't you see

    Lorenzo's POV My hands rimmed the edges of the glass as I chugged down the scotch, I couldn't help but notice how the girl standing in front of me paled when compared to Daphne. Daphne was like a diamond, one that shone bright even in the dark, but this thing in front of me was a successful clone, that had me wondering why someone like her had been brought. An interior motive perhaps?My eyes gleamed with fury when she sashayed closer. “ Get out” I snarled. She stood, defiant as though she was at a daze of what I meant, like she didn't understand an iota of what I had just said. “Are you deaf?” I demanded to know. “I was assigned here” she threw a glance around. Licking her lips seductively. “To serve you” her waist swayed as she leaned close. With narrowed eyes, I crushed her wrist, satisfied with her cries for help. “Let me go! Somebody, please help.”The door flew open, with Jack racing in , he searched around before he pulled her from my grip. “You are hurting her” I lo

    Lorenzo's POV With Daphne leaning against the car seat after I had made sure she was seated properly, I stepped on the accelerator of the truck down to the penthouse where the doctor should be waiting, and heaven help her if I got in there and noticed she wasn't. No matter how hard I tried to get her to say a word, she kept mumbling out words which were incoherent to my ears while sweat streamed down her face. I scooped her in my arms, handing the car key to the valet. I will be back for it later. “Get in now” I barked orders at the doctor who I could tell had been waiting for a while. Fidgeting which certainly wasn't a great thing at this time. Daphne kept writhing, squeezing her legs together, with pale features. The doctor stared at me, hard at first before nodding at the door. Was she being real right now? “I am staying. Do your job and make sure she is fine.” My finger still burnt from how hot her skin had felt when I held her, and yet, I couldn't fathom what was wrong wit

    Warning: 18+ brutal gruesome scene, mature content, skip if you aren't okay with bloodshed. Lorenzo's POV.Dread filled the air as I stepped into the red room, which had different restraints, sex toys, bondage gears hung about it. I caressed the wipe making sure it was strong, the way I wanted it to be before I flung it to the side. Taking in the monochrome room. The red room was just a name, it wasn't particularly painted in the color, although I would have, but it wouldn't give me the pleasure I wanted if blood splashed across it, I wouldn't see it dripping down, and it didn't sit just right with me. With my back against the door, I took a proper glance at the monochrome room, satisfied with how it looked when a scream came through. “ Let me go! Who exactly do you think you are? My family will get you and hunt you and…”That must be Trisha, ranting endlessly when she should have kept silent. What exactly could her family do? When I am in charge?Her ranting self drew closer, th

    Daphne's POV My eyes fluttered open in succession when I felt something warm collide against me, a hand draped around my waist. Tilting my head to the side, I stiffened when I noticed it was Lorenzo, who had just a brief on, looking devastatingly handsome as always with a face that I could stare at all day long. Propping myself properly on an arm, I ran a finger alongside the dainty lines on his face curled up into a scowl as though he were deep in thoughts instead of sleeping. “ You can't have enough of me, can you?” I jolted up when he spoke, a smile tugged at the edge of his lips, as he stretched, before he flashed his pearls at me. Beaming awkwardly, I tried to pull away by standing upright, when he yanked me back, and I found myself crushing hard against sturdy chest and chiseled abs. I gulped in, parched when he broke into a chuckle, snuggling me in his arms. “Good morning butterfly, where exactly were you going? Flapping those wings already?” My stomach tingled, dainty w

    Lorenzo's POV “ You can leave” I rolled my eyes lazily at the charade they were putting on. I had succeeded in deflating Trisha's massive ego and that was everything that I needed. Her father gritted his teeth as he uttered. “When will you get the name off the blacklist? We have done everything you wanted us to”.My hands clasped together, firmly at my back. “At my leisure time. Let me go back in and have a rethink if indeed what you have done is enough to appease my rage, have a wonderful day” I dismissed them when I noticed Daphne was quiet. I suppose I was supposed to be glad, but if there was something that I have learned, it was never okay if she was quiet. “Is something bothering you?” My hands wrapped themselves around her waist as I placed my lips against her neck. “She is limping,” she replied. “Trisha is limping, did you do anything to her?” “Me?” A feigned look crept on my face. “Why would I ever hurt her? Let's just say she just got a good punishment for hurting my

    Daphne's POV A whirlwind of blue and dreamy white rushed past, startling me as I tried to comprehend what exactly might be wrong. I swirled fast enough to meet with its pace while moving swiftly toward it when the kids walked in, pouting their lips. “Mother” they both clung to me, which was unlikely of them. Their lips contorted as they squeezed onto me. My hands smoothened their hair. I was glad that I had taken a bath and I looked fresh because how exactly was I supposed to explain to them why exactly I was in a jacket when it was late in the afternoon? They were surely bound to ask. “Are you fine?” I pulled them off, staring at their features while my heart slammed hard against my rib cage at what might be possibly wrong. Lorenzo hasn't acted that way before. He didn't even acknowledge my presence. He had looked like a man chased by demons. “ Sure?” I wanted to know when they bobbed their heads, just enough to assure me, but that tingling sensation in my heart remained. “ H

    Lorenzo's POV My hand pulled the fridge inside the study open as I drifted a bottle of fresh juice at her. “Father doesn't know that I am here.” That had to be it because if he did, he wouldn't have wanted her out of his sight. Three days wasn't far away, and he wouldn't want to lose any time that he had. “Did you find him? Jack?” Her hands closed around the bottle as our eyes met, breath sizzling through the air. My throat felt stuffed as I tried to breathe. “No, I have my men on it, but there is no news yet, we have to get you out of here. The helicopter should be here any minute soon, and you will leave with it, once you are settled in. I will come visit you soon”. She bit on her lips, nodding numbly before she threw her hands around me. “Thank you” a tear soaked my shoulders and I held her close. My hand wrangled her closer. “I am glad that I have you as a sibling, although you can be annoying most times” I couldn't force the smile on my lips down, it stayed persistent as

Daphne would hate it if she knows that I am here with you, but it doesn't seem like I have a choice here” He shook his head to the side, snapping them gently before he uncorked the wine, the pop going off as I glanced at it, he poured a bit into a glass which he handed to me, and another which he kept for himself. “ She actually told me to settle things with you, smooth things out, she had said,” he gave the only reason which I could say made sense. That she had an idea about what exactly was happening, because if she hadn't found me in bed with her, I knew she would have blown up my phone with calls right about now, and I was loving it. It showed that I was loved just as much as I loved her, with how she didn't hide at all to show that. I bobbed my head, gulping down the drink in a go when it hit the back of my throat, I swallowed, letti

    Lorenzo's POVWhen she had asked, wanting to make sure that I was fine, I didn't know what else to say aside from the fact that I was fine.I didn't want her to worry, I didn't want the crest on her face to deepen, I hated to see her worry, so I just couldn't bring myself to give her an answer that would break her again. When we had walked into the decorator greenhouse, the makeshift one that I had ordered to be made before all the ruckus happened, I found myself saying the word that I hadn't even practiced for. I had thought about this moment for years, kept it in mind for hours, thought about her expression when she saw it, but none of them had prepared me for when I was there, kneeling before her. I found myself stuttering, the words I didn't plan came out of my mouth instead, was I perhaps tense? I probably was, but it helped me get away of the thoughts that my father was dead. The doctor had given a heart attack as the answer, and we hadn't pushed on, neither had the workers

My hand held his hands, squeezing it gently, as I tried to get him back to me when he gave a small smile at me, his eyes deepened as he stared at me. “ I am fine” he assured me, that I wondered if he knew if he had any idea that his face was a sharp contrast to what he had just said. “ It is fine to let the tears down if you want to” His lips curved into a small smile, which did little to help, before he glanced outside. “ Chad will be waiting for us, we have to be sure that everything is fine, and whatever is it wouldn't harm him, you know with everything that has been happening” I nodded, bobbed my head in understanding at what he had just said. It was going to be fine. “ Wouldn't you go back? To take him to the morgue?” He bobbed. “ I will have to do that tomorrow, I would prefer that we bury him tomorrow, but first

    Daphne's POV I racked my brain, trying to ascertain that it wasn't who I was thinking, he wouldn't have been so stupid, he wouldn't do something like that. “ Daphne…. Daphne..” Irene's voice pulled me out. I threw her a glance, when footsteps glided in, and my father rushed in, rage stomped over his face. “ You said something about Alexis missing, have you seen him? Where exactly would he be? Do you think it would be from my side or Lorenzo's?” He tried to make certain that we would curtail this problem. I knew there was just a person, one person in Brooklyn but this wasn't how I wanted it to end, I didn't want to give him an easy death, he didn't deserve that. I needed Drago to be in pain, I needed him to pray for death, but he wouldn't see, I wanted him to watch my face as he died, I wanted to see his car slide down the bridge as mine had done. What exactly had been my offense? His son loved me.“ Drago” I uttered, loud enough to his hearing. “ He is the one who has him” Hi

    Lorenzo's POV I traipsed into the lift a happier man that I thought I was going to be, I watched gently as she sat on the chair, holding the kids firmly, before dropping the bags on the table. I couldn't have been happier, she was back in my life and back to me. I didn't know if I was thinking too fast, but I found myself inching to give her the ring I had gone to customize before the accident happened. I hadn't forgotten, nor forgiven Drago but I didn't want to think about him, not with this new joy that I felt. “ Do you think that I should apply it in, now?” “ Mother, I will help you with it,” Avery offered. “ I will do so also” Alexis offered also, and I was relegated to the background. It had barely grazed her arms, so Chad had said, but we had to be careful. It was so close to her arm socket, that if the bullet had gone in even further, it might have caused her an arm. I didn't know what to say, but I kept taking in air, and found myself saying prayers also. Of course,

    Daphne's POV I tried to force my eyes open but it stuck adamantly, I let out a hiss before trying again before whistling out in pain. I hated how I felt, it seemed as though I had been rammed over by a lorry and thrown over here, I tried to push myself up but I just couldn't. Sighing in resignation, I tried once more, gentle at first and the sharp ray of lighting that flashed through caused me to clasp it shot again. I gnashed, took in air before I flickered them open once more,this time swerving a glance around. I was stunned when warmths sipped into me. Flipping my head to the side, my eyes watered when I noticed Avery by one side, and Alexis by another, and Lorenzo holding my hands. I bit hard into my cheek, taking in the pain while I tried to force myself not to shed a tear. This was everything that I wanted, everything that I had imagined, my family back with me. I laid back, letting the warmth cascade down to my side, let it drap itself around me when I ran my hands thro

Hands held me, voices echoed around me, pleading for me to let go, but I just couldn't, I held her, squeezed my hands around her, pleading for her to come back to me. “ Lorenzo” Jack's voice thundered above me, as he shook my shoulders. I flipped my head around, barely considering his face before I stared at my hands. Coated with blood, my beloved blood, and I forced myself up. “ Where are you taking her?” Dawson's voice drilled into me, he forced himself forward, as he stretched his hands at me. “ You will get out of my front, or else, I will shoot you the fuck now” I warned, my eyes glazed with rage. “ Drop her down, she is mine and…” “ Father” a hand held his shoulder. “ Let him go with her. She will be safe with him” I didn't so much as spare him a glance as I sauntered through, my eyes darkened with rage before settling her on the seat.

    Lorenzo's POV I knew that something was up, I knew there was something Daphne wasn't telling me, and although I had tried countless times not to think about it, I was so sure that it made sense now. I had felt her salty tears, the one that ran down my back countless times, and even when I thought that it was from the fact that she was enjoying it, my two senses told me that she wasn't okay somehow, but she wouldn't just say. I couldn't push her either, I was never going to do that, not when she was hiding the fact that she was Daphne so good that I didn't know what to say nor do. I had tried numerous ways that I knew about just to have her to talk, but we were tight lipped,still insisting that she was Talia and not Daphne. Now, with the card in my hands, I didn't know what to say. My heart was in shreds as I glanced at it, the names fading the more I glanced at it. I swallowed, in a world of my own, when I noticed a hand shook my shoulders. “ Get back here man, I have been call

    Daphne's POV His lips slid into my mouth, making me miss all the times that we hadn't had time together. His teeth bit into my tongue, possessively, fiercely, while I fought for him to let go. My cunt pooled before he could slip a finger in, while I ached my back properly, giving him a proper view of my face. I held myself, my hands by my side as I forced myself not to run my hands on his face. I inched to do so, wanted to do so, found myself inching and aiming to do so, but I just couldn't. He pulled away gauging my expression. “ What?” I asked, his eyes softened as I stared into them. His hands drew pretty lines over my face, his love filled eyes pierced through me as he exhaled. “ You look so beautiful, so beautiful that I wouldn't mind gazing at you for the rest of my life, and I also wouldn't mind giving you my heart. I want you to own it all” My heart slammed at his words, as I drowned in them. They sounded perfect to me. I sniffed in, keeping my emotions at bay, befor
