Megan POVI blink my eyes open and adjust to the sudden assault of light. I look around and see that I am in a familiar room,my bedroom. I try to recall how I ended up here and the memories of what happened yesterday floods my mind. I was on my way to see my father when the car broke down and then a man approached me offering to help me only to kidnap me. Then I met Sofia and Harriet. I also remember the sound of bullets flying in the air and Lorenzo's voice as picked me up. I can't remember what happened after that but I guess Lorenzo brought me home. I lift my tired body and step out of bed making my way to the bathroom. I clean myself and brush my teeth before heading downstairs. I am walking down the staircase when a sweet aroma assaults my nose. My stomach chooses that moment to protest and a grumble echoes in the room. I make my way straight to the kitchen. It was around midday when I was kidnapped yesterday and since I am waking up now, that means that I haven't had any me
“Why are you always so stubborn,Megan?” Katalina asks and I can feel the frustration in a voice. “This is not about you anymore, this is about your safety and your father's. You just said it yourself,Harriet and Sophia are two crazy bitches. Do you think you can stop them if they want to hurt you? Take for example, you were kidnapped yesterday. Did you see it coming?” Katalina snaps. It's not like I don't understand what she is trying to tell me, it's just that I don't like it when people clean after my mess. “And don't try to give me that bullshit that you don't want Lorenzo to be responsible for you.He is your husband, he is your man. It doesn't matter how long you two will be married.as long as you are under him it is his fucking responsibility to protect you.” Katalina adds before moving to me and taking my hands in hers. “Listen to me Megan,just this once,alright?” She pleads with me. Yesterday it was Harriet and Sophia but who knows who will be kidnapping you the next time?”
Lorenzo POVI watch as Hunter Gambino walks to the table where I am seated with Megan. The asshole has a woman glued to him yet I can feel his lecherous gaze at my woman. Then that comment he makes rubs me the wrong way. what does he mean by the romantic type?and the fucker even knows Megan's full name? Has he been investigating me secretly? Well, what did I expect from a sick bastard like him?“What a surprise to see you here.” I say, my voice controlled,but I don't hide my displeasure. “ Oh, my girl wanted to try the foods of Chicago so I accompanied her.” he replies and I scoff inwardly. What kind of bullshit Is he feeding me? Does he think I am stupid or something? The man is known to be a cruel dominant and he keeps a harem of submissives. looking at the woman in his arms,she doesn't look anything like a play thing. He was here for some shady business and I am going to find that out. Not many people know that I own this Italian restaurant. It is one of my legal businesses
Lorenzo POVI park my car outside Harriet's house and jump out before making a beeline to her house.Along the way,I contemplated a thousand ways to teach this woman a lesson, but I know that grandfather will never allow me to lay my hands on her. That doesn't mean that I will let her continue playing threatening games with Megan. I'm not going to allow anybody to mess around what's mine. The guards outside her house try to stop me. One look at me and they know that I won't hesitate to snap their neck if they try to get in my way. The relaxed look on Harriet's face tells me that she has been waiting for me.She must have known that I captured that bitch and her thug. “To what pleasure do I owe this visit,Lorenzo?she asks,a smirk on her conniving face. She has that relaxed look on her face, like no shit can faze her. “ I am not here to exchange pleasantries with you Harriet. I'm here to give you one last warning to stop pissing on me.”She smiles at my words before shrugging noncha
Have you ever watched life make a fool out of you? Or should I say the people closest to you treat you like one? Have you ever watched your life crumble and fall apart? Because that's what is happening to me. The man I called my father all my life happens to be my brother and the grandfather I have respected turns out to be my father. I don't know why they thought that they could keep this secret from me all my life. I don't care about the reasons they had. The truth is,they have fucked up with my life. I am not who I have always thought I am. It's been three days since Harriet whispered the secret to me. If she meant to break me, then congratulations to her,she has successfully done it. I feel like shit and I have been acting the part. It's my third day without leaving my office, not doing anything constructive other than drinking a bottle of vodka, one after another. Hugo has become like a shadow, always hovering around me and trying to figure out if I am okay or not. I haven't
Megan povI sit at the back porch sipping my afternoon tea. My mind wanders off to the last night I spent with Lorenzo. The dinner was a mess to say the least. After getting a phone call,he didn't even have the decency to send me home. He shoved me inside a taxi. The drive back to the house was haunting. I could not stop wondering if I did something to piss him off. Then he came back in the middle of the night, looking like a lost child and asked me to make him forget. One look at him and I could tell that something was terribly wrong, so when he made that request,I obliged. The fact that he came to me and not to his strip club or went drinking made me think that I was somehow valued. How wrong he proved me afterwards. The following day,I decided to check up on him,but all my calls and messages went unanswered. I even went an extra mile to visit him at the office but Hugo stopped me. He didn't even allow me to see him. I have never felt so useless as I did that day. Yes, I drove ba
LorenzoThe old man was right about one thing ;bastard or not,I am still a massimo. The Massimo blood pumps through my veins. Whining like a child is not something I am expected to do. That doesn't mean I am forgiving him for making me look like an idiot. Maybe my life is messed up, maybe it has been one fat lie but there's something I am never going to allow and that is letting Javier take over the family business. I’d be doomed to do that. Besides,that fucktard can't manage his life. How can he manage an Empire like the masimo family business? It's not only about the shipping company but the hundreds of businesses under the family. If grandfather makes the mistake of making him the head of the family,that will be signing a contract to downfall. While I can still manage myself with my side businesses under my name, what will happen to the men I have been working with over the years?They don't deserve any of that and that's why I am here, ready to start a new day at my office. Th
LorenzoAfter getting that disturbing package the only thing I could think about was Megan.I left the office in a hurry. Hugo tried stopping me, reminding me that I might just be paranoid, and, even if this so-called secret the sender was talking about was Megan, I was only going to make things worse by visiting her. I didn't care. I only wanted to see my baby doll and make sure that she is safe. So, here I am standing at the front porch of their house and ringing the bell. This is something I never thought I'd do yet here I am. Maybe Hugo is right. I fucking care too much about Megan that it is showing to my enemies. The door opens a minute later and my baby doll's eyes widen when she sees me. I offer her a smile but her face remains rigid, shocked perhaps. “What are you doing here Lorenzo?" she asks, her eyes darting around and looking behind her. Something tugs inside me after hearing her question but I school my emotions and smile even wider. “I came to see you of course.”
MeganI cast one last glance at my choice of outfit today and smile in satisfaction. Clutching my purse, I collect my brown envelope and start walking downstairs. My father is settled in the sitting room reading his daily dose of newspapers. My footsteps alert him and he looks up,acknowledging me with a smile. “Are you sure about this?” He asks and I nod, walking to peck him on the cheeks. “Definitely I'm going to prove to you that I can get a job and be an independent woman.” I reply and he gives me a smile. “I know my daughter is capable. That goes without saying.” He says pride evident on his face. I'll see you in the evening.” I announce and start making my exit. “Good luck Megan,” my father shouts from behind me and I smile. It's been two days since Lorenzo left our house. That asshole had the guts to come here and behave like he didn't ignore me like a plague when I went looking for him. His reactions made me sure of one thing; Lorenzo feels nothing for me. The little bu
