Nadia's POV
I woke the next day tired and hungry, I felt like I worked throughout the night when in reality I did nothing.
If anything, I slept through the night like a baby.
It is not uncommon with me these days to just walk up and be feeling tired and just wanting to just lazy around.
I even tried doing my push-ups, I had to struggle to be able to count to twenty.
I guess the whole incident of my uncle's betrayal is having more impact on me than I anticipated.
I was about to enter the bathroom when the doorbell rang and that sort of startled me. I waited to see if it will ring again, and after some seconds it rang again.
I went to pick up my gun from where I had hidden it.
"who the fuck is that?" I asked pointing both hands at the door with my handgun fisted within my fingers.
I was not expecting anyone so nothing is stopping me from killing any intruders, I told myself while taking in quick breaths to calm
Lorenzo POVWhat happened? That was the only question on my mind as I walked aimlessly around the private ward that Nadia was admitted in.I ran my hand over my head countless times, out of frustration, anger, and misery.I was holding myself from asking all the questions in my mind, he too needs time to figure it all out.But, every second felt like a million years, I was getting impatient with the doctor who seem to be taking all the time in the world.My presence in the room as having a not-so-good effect on the young doctor, I could see his fingers fidget as he wrote on his pad and constantly avoiding my gaze.He came highly recommended, let's just hope for his sake, he knows he is doing.I was mad, I felt like punching or breaking something, I was so anxious to know what happened to her.Just then, I f
Nadia's POV After scarlet had left, I was left all alone, bothering about what could have happened between Lorenzo and me back at the hotel and why I was yet to see him. Is he alright? I don't know why and how I got here, I only wish this moment that someone could tell me what the fuck was going on. I deliberately avoided discussing Lorenzo with scarlet so as not to get her into any trouble, and was hoping that he would have shown up by now. Just then, I saw the door opened and a doctor walked in wearing a friendly smile. “How are you, ma'am?” he asked as he walked over to my bedside looking at the tab he was holding. “I'm fine, at least I feel fine, I said to the doctor who was busy checking my eyes heartbeat, and another checkup routine, when he was done, he started tapping away on the tab he was holding. “can you please tell me why I was brought here and why I have all these things fixed on me?" I q
Lorenzo POVI was going to take her back to the camp but changed my mind at the last minute to take her for a ride. We both needed the open space to clear our thoughts, the ride was very quiet, and the times I stole glances at Nadia, she looked so lost in thought.After driving for about forty-five minutes I pulled into my property, it is two thousand acres of farmland the major crop grown on the farm is grapes and apples, which when harvested, can be used for juice and wine.We have a wine brand that uses most of the produce, only a small portion is sold to outsiders.Only a handful of people can link this property to me as I don't have direct dealings with anyone, only my lawyer is responsible for all that goes on in here.I stopped the car and came down after which I brought out a pack of cigarettes from my jacket and lighted a stick.I rested my back on the car as I took long sips from the stick in my hand.
Nadia's POV“So I guess you had a good intuition since this was the first place you were so curious to know about," Lorenzo said as he opened the door that had the number thirteen boldly written on it.This was the same room, I was curious about when I first came here, but at that time, it was just a plain white room.He switched on the light and the room appeared to be the same, that was until he pushed another button on the wall.The wall split open and was surprised to see that there was an office space beyond the wall.“This is my office, my real office I mean,” he said as he walked through the split walls.Immediately we entered the office the wall closed back enclosing us in the office.The office was looking every shade of class and sophistication. The wall was painted black and had most of its furniture and artworks were in a simi
Lorenzo's POV "Is that what you want my Amore?" I questioned, as I took steady strands to where she was standing. I could feel the hate, anger, and frustration from the tone of her voice and it may sound crazy but it freaky turned me on. It may be the fact that I have fucking been celibate for the past two weeks and it fucking sucks, I just couldn't bring myself to fuck any other girl since she left. As I drew closer to her, I could tell she was in no mood for what I had in mind, but a guy got to try his luck. “You need to relax, you are looking stressed,” I said as I close the gap between us and stood so close so as our heads were touching each other. She let out a sigh of relief as I threw my hands across her tiny waist. “I missed you a lot,” I said, whispering the words into her ears as my lips places feathering kisses along her neckline. Her soft sweet moans encouraged me to further torture her and claim her even mo
Lorenzo's POVIt's been three days since I received that call from Vicenzo about our shipment interception, we got to know that the Russian were the ones behind the attack.They killed some of our men, carted away with some of our girls after which they killed others, and took our hard drugs with them.This was a deliberate move and not a mere coincidence. Dimitri knows that Nadia is with me and he is going all out to get her back.I felt I should tell Nadia that she was the reason we were been targeted and attacked by the Russians.If for nothing, so that she can be more careful.Her uncle is so desperate that he is sparing nothing in making sure that he gets what he wants.And like the stupid coward that he is, he has once again gone into hiding while leaving his men and spies to do his dirty work.I turned to look at Nadia who seems so engross and lost in thoughts, as she wipes off the blo
Nadia's POVThe whole room went quiet for some seconds as Lorenzo shifted his gaze to me, which only lasted a moment before returning it to Vicenzo who had an absurd look on his face.The dude has never for once tried to conceal his hatred for me, and I'm so glad I hate him right back.“Are you sure about this?" Lorenzo asked him, his voice cold and intense.“She said it to me, I was right there when she called her name, I warned you right from the beginning that this bitch was not to be trusted, but you wouldn't listen to me. Go on, you can ask her,” Vicenzo kept raging towards me.“it's alright, you can leave now, I will take care of her and I will join you shortly after,” Lorenzo said to Vicenzo who looked at me one last time with so much hate before walking out of the door, and as soon as the door closes Lorenzo turned to look at me.“Care to explain what that was all about, do you know that bitch?" ev
Nadia's POV“Nadia stop” I heard Lorenzo call after me,I felt fear, panic, anger, anxiety, and frustration flow throw me like water, it was drowning me and I was gladly letting it.I kept crashing into people and things as my legs found themselves unwilling in a race.I didn't know what I was looking for or what I was running from. I ran until I couldn't feel anything anymore, I just wanted everything to stop, as I soon came to a halt.There were over ten men pointing guns at me from different directions.“Nadia, drop the gun down,” Lorenzo said.I looked at my hand to see that I was still holding on to the gun Lorenzo gave me earlier.I gazed at it unconsciously and I could feel the men around me tense up as they held on tightly to their guns.The truth is, I wanted to use the gun, not on anyone but myself, I thought of ending it all right there. But the fact I was carryi
Lorenzo's POV “Can you hear me, if you can, I want you to squeeze my hand a little" I heard a friendly male voice say to me? I was feeling a bit weak like I had just woken up from deep sleep, I didn't know where I was or who I was with, many questions flooded through my mind as I squeeze on the hand that was placed on mine. “Good, very good, now I want to follow the ray of light that I will flash while your eyes are still closed,” he said as I felt a sharp light moving across my eyes, I unconsciously tighten my eyelids. “Relax, just relax, now I want you to open your eyes slowly, I have turned off the torchlight, but the room is fully Illuminated, I want you to do it slowly” I tried opening my eyes, at first it felt like they were glued together as my eyelids seem heavy, but when I finally had them opened, my eyes fell on the elderly-looking doctor who smiled at me as soon as he saw m
six months laterNadia's POVIt's been six months Lorenzo, each day without you feels like a century. how long do you intend to punish me more? I miss you so much, I miss your smile, your laughter, and the way you love me.Do you still love me, Lorenzo?Our kids are growing up super fast, they are crawling and making attempts to stand on their two feet. I wish you were here to see how adorable they are, and they look every inch like you.Your mum has been very supportive, she comes in regularly to check how we are doing. your mum is a strong woman, if I ever become half the woman that she is then I will be truly blessed.I don't know what more to do or say to make you understand how deeply I mirror to see you, you have to fight Lorenzo, if not for me but your kids and mother.I long to see you play with children, I w
Seven days laterNadia's POV"Are you sure you are ready to face him?" Scarlett asked with genuine concern in her tune.She was seated on the chair watching me as I put final touches on my very light makeup. I didn't want to appear before my evil uncle looking weary or in distress, I want to him to see that I am still happy before he dies.I want him to know that even though he stole everyone and everything from me, that I am still going to be happy, I want my smiling face to be the last thing he sees before I sniff the life out of him.I stood at the mirror to look at myself in the black leather pants and black crop top I had on, my Tommy had snapped back a few days after my delivery. I parked my hair into a ponytail, leaving a few strands of hair to dance freely in my face, and lastly, I wore my pair of b
Nadia POV I woke up to a whole new wave of pain, my hand instinctively went to my lower abdomen to feel the bandage that was carefully placed on my Tommy, it fucking hurt. I looked up to see that Scarlett was sitting by my side, her expression was a mixture of happiness and gloominess. Now that was not what I was expecting to see, especially since we all have been excitedly waiting to see the babies. I too wasn't exactly happy and the reason is not far-fetched, I expected Lorenzo to be here when I wake up since I didn't see him all through last night. My mind went back to how I walked in on Vicenzo in the waiting area what was he doing there and why was he covered Scarlett was not exactly looking at me, she didn't know I was awake, I tried sitting up and noticed my Tommy was hurting badly, that was when she shifted her gaze back to me. “Hey you,” she said wearing a genuine smile. “Hey,” I replied “Congratulations," sh
Vicenzo's POVI quickly took off my jacket and pressed it on Lorenzo's head, using both hands as hard as I could to stop the bleeding as there was so much blood pumping out of his head."Let's take him up," I said to the men with me who were looking rather confused about what to do. I soon figured out their confusion as I angrily took my rifle from where I dropped it on the floor to smash unsuspecting Dmitri's head.His body collapsed to the floor. That instant I didn't care about Lorenzo's orders which were to keep the bastard alive, as my only concern at that moment was how to keep Lorenzo alive.We quickly carried Lorenzo out of there and we soon as we got into the main house, there was an ambulance waiting outside the house. Two male nurses ran towards us carrying the stretcher with them and immediately they got to where we were, they lifted him into the stretcher while an oxygen mask was quickly placed over his nostrils. Seconds later, they car
Lorenzo POVHave you ever been hit by a baseball bat on your chest or in your Tommy?It is not exactly something fun to look forward to, and the fact that I was wearing a bulletproof vest did not in any way hinder the effect of the gunshot that I just received.“So you are wearing a bulletproof?” he asked after not seeing any sign of blood on my shirt.“So you are a coward, huh?” I said to the motherfucker who seem to be enjoying my pains.I thought of ways of having this dude take the fucking gun off my face, as I know that any wrong move from me can cost me my life, and I don't fucking want to die. Those swift turns and moves you see lead actors do In the movies are film tricks, you can't go pissing off a guy with a gun to your head“No, I just don't like cliché. I mean, what's the use of having this conversation when I can just put a bullet through your brains and save myself the stress of
Nadia's POVI'm asking you to marry meI'm asking you to marry meI'm asking you to marry meLorenzo's voice kept echoing on my head over and over again.Have you ever felt as you have just been hit by a thunderbolt?Please don't get me wrong, I am sure that I love Lorenzo a lot but, is it enough for me to want to spend a lifetime with him?what If he is just treating me nicely because he feels pity for me, what if he changes after we get married? Do I want to get married? Will I be a good wife?“Please say something” Lorenzo who has been starting at me from across the table said.“I..*clears throat*I...don't think I am ready to get married” I heard myself say.What the Fuck!I can't believe I just said that, I mean, I do like him a lot an
Nadia’s POV“You still haven't told me where you are taking me to,” I tiredly said to Lorenzo who was busy picking the perfect dress for me from the wardrobe. He came to the room this evening and suddenly realized that we have never really had an actual date, and that he has been planning for us to have one, he said was tonight. This is coming three days after we were told that we were expecting twins.He was so busy looking through my pile of clothes as most of the clothes he has earlier picked did not fit due to my huge bump.“so what do you think of this?” he asked lifting a free-size chiffon gown with a smoky plinth at the waistline. I got the dress from Spain and never really got to wear it.“Well, it depends on where we are going” I said hoping for heaven's sake that he just say it instead of making me guess.I hate been kept in suspense.“You will see” he said, with that he helped
Nadia POVjust when you think you can't possibly hear anything more devastating about my ex-uncle, he surprises you with another one.Like the fuck!“He was sleeping with his daughter, he wasn't contented with his wife and all the whores out there, he chose to do the nasty with his blood, I have been underestimating his level of callousness,” I said angrily at Lorenzo after he practically pulled me back into our room the“You need to calm down, you have been stressing yourself a whole lot lately, and I am beginning to think that maybe you need to go stay with my mum," Lorenzo who has been standing and just staring at me said.“I'm going not going anywhere, I am staying right here to have this baby and when I do, I will be the one to put a bullet through that motherfucker brain," I said unable to control how angry I was fuck was that moment“No, what you need to do is go somewhere safe and
