Knots & Tie I Couldn’t Continue Living Like This
Honey. I looked down at the stripper who was still trying to breath properly and laying weak on the floor. I swallowed hard and took in a deep breath. My hands fidgeted with the hem of the blue pajama I was wearing. I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn’t. How will I confess to Lorenzo that I was the one who stole those details. Lorenzo was a monster, he would kill me if he found out that it was me. But still, I couldn’t stand here and watch him kill an innocent person. I needed to do something. I needed to think of what to say that would save us both. Standing before Lorenzo’s cold glare, my mouth seemed to be tied in knots. “It is because… I um… it is because…” I stuttered. The frown on Lorenzo’s face deepened and he was starting to look irritated by my presence. “If you don’t have anything to say, just shut your mouth!” He snapped. He looked away from me and focused his attention back on the stripper. The stripper was now sitting on the ground, her body trembling

Lorenzo. It had been two days since we left Las Vegas. I had been trying to cover up any trace of the details that Avery had given the DEA. Lot of money had been lost due to this and to say I was beyond pissed was an understatement. Killing Avery was to send a warning to others who were thinking or planning to betray me in the future. I needed them to know that I wouldn’t show any mercy on them when they turned their back on me. I had been too busy to check on Honey and see how she was handling the death of Avery. It wasn’t like I cared about her or something, but I knew how soft Honey could be despite how hard she tried to appear. Avery had been cunning enough to get Honey to care about her. I just hoped Honey wouldn’t do anything stupid at the loss of Avery. I was in the shooting range, checking the effectiveness of the new arms that just got delivered to me when Madam Q walked into the room. She stood close to my left. “Mr Russo, there is something I need to say to you.” I dr

“You hate me that much?” I asked, my voice silently breaking. “You talk like there is much to like about you.” Hearing her words, Something broke inside me, leaving a swallow feeling. I wasn’t used to feeling this way. It was messing me up. “Since you hate me so much then I don’t care if you starve yourself to death,” I said coldly, turning my back on her. I didn’t want Honey to see how much her words were hurting me. She must not see the crack she had created in me. I walked towards the door and paused as I reached for the door handle. I looked at Honey from over my shoulder. “In fact, I’m going to save you the trouble. There will be no food delivered to your room from now on and you are forbidden to step outside. You can rot inside here for all I care.” With that, I opened the door and left. Two days later, I was dressing up when a knock came on my door. “Come inside.” The door opened and Madam Q walked inside. “Good morning Mr Russo,” she greeted. “You called for m

Lorenzo. “What happened to her?”The maid shook her head, tears pooling in her eyes. Tears weren't a good sign. I didn’t feel good seeing this. The short silence that followed my question made me uneasy and irritated. I needed this maid to say something before she stepped on my last thread of patience!“Speak up and answer my question! What the hell happened to honey?”“I don’t know. When I went to give her her meal, l met her unconscious.”I rushed down to her room. The maid and Madam Q followed me from behind. “I think she is dead.” The maid sobbed as I reached for the handle of Honey’s room door. My hand froze on the handle and my whole body ran cold. What does the maid mean by Honey is dead? Hobey should be anything, but dead!I pushed the door open and halted on my steps when I saw Honey lying lifeless on the cold floor by her bed.Was she… really dead?I couldn’t move from where I stood. I was too scared to find out the truth. It was funny. I had killed countless people, but

Honey.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was that I was resting on something warm and strangely welcoming. I turned on the bed, dragging my hand along the surface of whatever I was sleeping on. It stirred underneath my touch, causing me to look in its direction. I pulled back when I saw Lorenzo sleeping soundly with me on the bed. I couldn’t remember everything that had happened over the past few days except that I had challenged myself to die. To give up on everything. I had thought Lorenzo was truly going to let me starve to death, but to my surprise the food had kept coming and every time I had refused it. What will be the point of living for one more day just to end up dead with a bullet buried in your head. Lorenzo might not have found out that I was the one who stole those details, but he would. Nothing ever escapes his attention. And thinking about all that, you could imagine my shock at seeing him sleeping beside me on the bed.Have I skipped a century or what?

Honey.“Then be my girlfriend.”He said it with all seriousness, I wasn’t sure if he was joking or not. But I knew Lorenzo wasn’t one to joke around with such things. What he had said was so out of concept. So sudden that it left me feeling confused and lost. When he noticed I didn’t say anything. He looked down at me with impatience. “Say something, Honey.”“What will change if I become your girlfriend?”I asked the most important question. “Will I still be locked up here and restricted like a slave?”His eyes looked distant as he thought of what I had just said. I’m sure he hadn’t meant to ask me to be his girlfriend. He just wanted a reason to make me stay here with him and he found one. “You won’t be restricted and if you need a break from here, you can go whatever you want.”“I want to go back home.”His chin clenched. “Except from there.”“Then what is the point of asking me to be your girlfriend if I don’t have my own freedom?”“Honey, you can’t go home now. You can go anywher

Honey.From a distance, I could see the bright golden light shining around the gazebo and there was pleasant music drifting in the air creating a peaceful and relaxed ambiance. There were petals of roses lined up the pavement leading to the gazebo. I took in everything in confusion as I walked towards the gazebo where Lorenzo stood with his back facing me. He wore a classic tuxedo. The kind that made him look more like a gentleman with a heart of gold. The kind that completely hid the monster he truly was. The kind that would make one feel safe around him. I walked up to him and he turned to me, his magnificent smile taking my breath away. I stood before him, not knowing what to do. I looked around my surroundings, taking in the bright and decorative lights around the gazebo, the lovely flowers which were sagged around the pillar of the gazebo giving the place an inviting fragrance. Lorenzo was standing at the end of a long table filled with a variety of food. At the center of the

Honey.I was still walking away from the gazebo when I felt a hand hold on to me. “Honey, wait!”I turned and shot him a glare. “What?!”“I understand that you are angry and you wish I didn’t kill Avery, but no matter what I do now, it won’t bring Avery back so can’t we just try to move past that?”“Even if it doesn’t, that doesn’t stop you from killing others.” Lorenzo furrowed his brows, his gaze darkening. “Everyone I had killed deserves it one way or the other. You might not see things the way I do, but showing mercy is something one shouldn’t have when you run a business like mine. It always comes back to haunt you. I know this because I watched my father go down because of it. He had mercy on the wrong people and they came back and killed my whole family and took him to jail. At the end, he was murdered there,” he sighed, his gaze looking distant, like he was thinking about something dark about his past. “Honey, all my life I've been betrayed and alway feel like I should be one

Honey. Lorenzo’s brow furrowed, confusion masking his face. “Your son?” He questioned. “You have a son?”My face hardened. “Don’t act like you didn’t find out about it. I know you kidnapped him, where is he?”Instead of answering me, he nodded his head, looking like he was finally understanding what was happening. “So that's why you left. You went with that bastard and had a child for him. And now what? Your son got missing and now you think I kidnapped him?”I moved close to him, my hands clenched. “Isn’t that what you did?” “I have no business with your bastard child,” he said, his voice tightening with emotions. “If you are that desperate to find him then go meet his father.”“That’s why I came to you. So where is he?”He smirked wickedly. “Do you think I’m just going to tell you that easily? That bastard you call your child should have never existed,” he grabbed me by my arm and pulled me close to him before grunting. “You are mine, Honey. Always meant to be mine. And if you thi
Knots & Tie Where Is He?
Honey.The next day, I arrived in LA in the evening. I lodged at a hotel and stayed low. I hired an investigator to give me an update about Lorenzo before making my move. Luckily, I knew the ins and outs of the mansion Lorenzo was currently occupying. I was going to sneak in and get any information I needed on finding my son. Wearing the same leather jacket and black pants, I blended well smong the men who were standing guard at the mansion so it was easier to move around the house without raising suspicion. I climbed the stairs and went to his room at the far side of the hallway, my heart pounding as I opened the door leading to his bedroom. I hurriedly went through his documents and belongings. Nothing. Not a single thing gave me a link to my son’s disappearance. I was still browsing through his system when I heard the door click.I froze, my hand passing above his laptop. Lorenzo wasn’t meant to be back so soon. The investigator I had hired told me he had traveled to Sicily for a
Knots & Tie Leo Is Missing.
Honey. I got into my car and drove to my workplace. In the afternoon, I went to pick Leo from school and met his teacher sitting by a desk, checking some notes. “I’m sorry I’m late,” I said, looking around the almost empty classroom. “Where is Leo?” The teacher dropped her book, looking confused. “His father came to pick him not quite long.” His father? The whole room closed up on me and my heart sprinted. I dragged air into my lungs, trying to calm myself down. I must have misheard what the teacher had said. “I need to see my son. Where is he?” I asked again, my voice sharp. The teacher stood up, her face almost mirroring mine. Confused and bothered. “I don’t understand…” she pointed at the exit of the classroom. “A man came earlier and told me he was Leo’s father. He said–“ My face hardened. “How can you let a stranger take him without seeking my consent?” The teacher froze, her face pale. “I… I thought he was his father.” “No, he is not!” She touched her chest, looking
Knots & Tie Part Three: Shackles & Chain
Honey.Five Years Later.“Mommy, where is Dad?” My four year old son, Leo, asked, looking at me with his bright gray eyes. He had Lorenzo’s eyes. Even looked like him. Just that he was darker in complexion and had very full curly black hair unlike Lorenzo who had fair skin and straight raven hair. “I don’t know,” I said honestly. I still haven't forgiven myself for leaving Lorenzo without saying goodbye. Especially since he saved me. And his son.“But you are meant to know,” Leo sat on his ornate bed, hugging his brown teddy bear close to his chest. Just like his father, he doesn’t take no for an answer. “All my friends at school know where their father is. I want to know where mine is too.”I rubbed my head, feeling a headache coming up. We had been staying in Australia for the last five years and I had successfully opened a record label. I had an upcoming event which was stressing me out. Leo was adding to the stress by insisting on knowing where Lorenzo was. Yes, I know. Every
Knots & Tie Leaving Everything Behind
Honey. Lorenzo’s men approached us and raised him from me. They hauled him into a black sedan, tires screeching as they sped off. Others chased after Carlo. Lorenzo was immediately taken to the hospital and attended to upon arrival. His men waited with me outside the OR. I paced around the narrow hallway, both shocked and worried that Lorenzo had saved me. Just a night before, he had threatened to kill me so why did he save me? Why? The question spun in my head until the world tilted. My knees buckled, and the cold tiles rushed up to meet me. I collapsed by the OR doors, darkness swallowing me whole.The moment I woke, I found myself in a ward, wearing a blue hospital gown and lying in a bed. I sat up, looking around in confusion. How long had I passed out and why? I must have fainted because of all the anxiety and pressure I was under. I brushed aside the bedsheet and got down from the bed. Something stung my wrist, tugging tightly. I looked down at it, surprised to see an IV fluid
Knots & Tie You Betrayed Us
Honey.“No, it can’t be true,” I shook my head, denying the truth. “Michael brought me to you, he told me he found out that you were kidnapped.”Desola sighed. “How did you think he was able to find me?” Desola was right. How had I not thought about it?I was about to say something when I heard gunshots. Shit! They had been caught! I grabbed Desola’s hand, running.“What’s going on?” Desola asked, watching in confusion as people ran out of the hall in panic when they heard the gunshots. “There is no time to explain, we need to leave now,” I ran into a corner which looked like a private pool area. Dead end.I cursed under my breath. If only I had paid attention when Daniyi gave me the tour—where was the damn exit?We pivoted back, running along with the crowd and managed to get out of the building. Outside, chaos reigned. Michael's men were everywhere, trying to escape as they shot at the security guards. Stray bullets sprayed around, some hitting the party guests. I gripped Desola’
Knots & Tie He Kidnapped Me
Honey.Soon, it was time to go to Daniyi’s mansion for his weekend party. I wore a red sparkling gown that accentuated my curves. Michael followed me to the party as my plus one. This actually worked in his flavour as it gave him an easy access Dainiyi’s mansion before he carried out the heist.When we got to Daniyi’s mansion, we were led to the grand living room, away from where the party was going on. It turned out Amir Daniyi wanted to see me before taking me to the party. The living room was quiet and one of the mansion staff had directed us to have our seats while waiting for him. Although I had been to a lot of mansions, his house topped it off. One could get lost in the mansion without ever finding their way back. Yeah, that was how broad it was.“Finally, the star for tonight has arrived!” Daniyi said with a broad smile as he walked out of an opened lift at the left side of the grand living room. He wore a designated black Thobe and his hair was covered with a black and white
Knots & Tie Now Shoot.
20: Now Shoot.Honey.Seeing how scared I was, Michael stepped forward, narrowing his eyes down at Lorenzo. “I think you should leave now,” he said with a serious tone. Lorenzo smirked. He stood up and looked at me. “Don’t think he can save you.”A chill ran down my spine at his words. When Lorenzo walked out of the event hall, Michael looked at me. “What was that about?” I didn’t know if it was good to add Michael to what was happening so I decided not to fill him in on the details. “It is nothing,” I lied. Michael didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t force me to say the truth. Soon, the event hall got filled. People sat at different tables, enjoying the activities of the event. When it came for the announcement of the winner of the All Star Award,my breath was in my throat as I knew they were going to call my name. I watched as the Host slowly opened the card he was holding which contained the name of the winner for the event. “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner for the award Sta
Knots & Tie How Did You Find Out?
Honey.Tonight was the night of the All Star Award ceremony. Given how famous I became in a few months, an entertainment company came to film my preparation for the night event. I tried my best to look relaxed and excited for the show while being filmed, but the truth was that I wasn’t in any way relaxed. Tonight was the night everything will set in place. Michael had done all this so I would be able to get him easy access to the painting in Daniyi’s private museum, but what if I got caught?I didn’t even want to think about it. Michael walked into the dressing room after I had gotten dressed and was fully prepared for the show. He had designed the dressing room for me when he heard I was going to be filmed while preparing for the Award ceremony. While still checking myself out in the window, he came close and leaned close to me. “Do you remember everything I told you?”I became tense. I knew what he was asking about. He had told me to act like I wasn't certain I was going to win
