The Heartless Lover Chapter 17
It was a stormy night. The high speed of winds made the nature of torrential rain violent. I was running on the lonely street seeking shelter, I was far away from Scarface's warehouse and my uncle's mansion.I stood in front of a three-story building which appeared to be abandoned, shivering, the biting wind was becoming unbearable for me. I walked to the side of the building hoping to find some sort of shelter but there was none, I kept walking about the surrounding, I was tired of running. I needed to hide somewhere."Freeze!"I heard a masculine voice from behind, I quickly put my hands up in surrender."Good, now slowly turn around"I did as instructed only to see a red-haired man pointing a gun at me. "Please don't shoot, I'm unarmed" I begged."Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man questioned."I'm... I'm Jacqueline, I mean no harm... I just need a place to spend the night" "Wait a minute" The man looked at me from head to toe... "I know you, you're Jacqueline Catta

I had been in this disgusting room for hours but it seemed like years. I sat hopelessly on the bed without any thoughts."Hi, I brought clean clothes for you" A girl with hazel eyes and dyed purple hair walked in."Thanks" I stood up from the bed and took the clothes from her... "If only I could change without cameras watching me" I threw the clothes on the bed."You could turn away from the camera and put on the clothes. They can see, but they can't touch" she laughed sarcastically."The heck" I didn't know when I burst into laughter."Wow, so you do laugh" she chuckled."What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow."I was expecting the person who battered Raymond to be an emotionless monster" she laughed.I was so mad at Raymond for mentioning my parents, I couldn't care less if people were watching me through the camera. I beat him up black and blue, he was lucky I couldn't put a bullet through his head."Oh, how's that idiot doing now?" I asked with an evil smile on my face. "Receivin

"I thought you'd be dead by now" I looked up towards the door and saw Alexa coming in, behind her was Raymond whose face was covered in bandages except for his eyes and lips."You want me dead?" I chuckled a little bit."Absolutely not" she squealed as she hugged me. She heard the news about me being spared and joining the gang."I wish they killed you" Raymond rolled his eyes.I shot him a death stare without uttering a word. I could literally hear him swallow something, he quickly walked out of the room in fear."You're officially my favourite person" Alexa laughed as she squeezed me in a tight hug again. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone from the Hernandez family to be sweet. I hate hugs but I guess I have to learn to deal with Alexa's constant hugging."A few hours from now, you'll officially become a Matrix" Alexa spoke with excitement."I can't wait" I forced out a smile."Let's get you a new outfit for your initiation" Alexa dragged me by my hand out of the room."Wait!"

A week ago;Flashback..."What do you think you're doing you little demon?" A chubby lady shouted at ten-year-old me.My body was covered in flour. We were in the kitchen and this adopted mother of mine was baking a congratulations cake for her husband. I wanted to help her out in the kitchen but she refused. I decided to help her out anyways. I stretched my hand to the counter which was taller than me to pick up the bowl of flour but it slipped from my hand and fell on my body."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" I apologised with my head bent downwards"Shut up" She screeched in my ears... "Do you know how much I spent on all these ingredients?" She grabbed my arms tightly."I... I just wanted to help" I spoke softly. This woman was my first adopted parent. I wasn't excited about the idea of getting new parents as nobody could ever take my parents' place in my heart still I wanted to make a good impression but everything I did was disgusting in her eyes, this woman hated me."You wanted t

It was past midnight. I was sitting in a semi-circle booth seating, alone, in a lavished nightclub. This nightclub had a modern and luxurious design that was sure to put someone in awe. The seating area is plush and comfortable, with velvety couches and ottomans. The walls were painted in a rich black, with colourful accent lighting that changes to the beat of the music to give it an extra bit of vibrancy. The dance floor is a glossy black, with a star-studded ceiling that has flashing lights to give it a sparkly feel while illuminating the room. I watched the dancefloor while tracing the rim of the half-empty wine glass which was on the table with my fingers. The dancefloor was full of people, some dancing and others swaying to the music. Near the dance floor, a small stage had been set up with a DJ spinning the latest tunes. The crowd was captivated by the music and the energy in the room was palpable. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was having a great time. I looked to my r

A few days have passed. Today was Alonso's wedding. He had finally gotten Lizzy, Odette's mother to say yes. Alonso didn't want to waste any time in getting official with Lizzy, he planned a small wedding. it was just going to be some members of the mafia and a few relatives of Lizzy. I sat among the congregation in the wedding venue, my uncle was waiting by the altar alongside his groomsmen with a priest standing on it. As soon as Lizzy's presence was acknowledged we all stood up. The flower girls first walked in, Odette was among them, and then the bridesmaid walked in, I was asked to be one of them but I hated that shit but Bianca gladly accepted it, heck she was the chief bridesmaid. Then, Lizzy walked down the aisle slowly. she was putting on a simple wedding gown, holding a small bouquet with her other arm wrapped around her father's arm"You know, I've always dreamt of watching my daughter walk down the aisle but you took that dream from me" I heard someone speak in a shaky vo

Present times:"Wake up sleepyhead!!"I heard a high-pitched voice piercing through my ears, I opened my eyes immediately but squinted them as someone opened the curtains, letting the early morning sun shine on my face."What the heck?" I grudgingly sat on the bed rubbing my eyes, I yawned and eventually looked up at the person who decided to ruin my sleep"I can't believe you're in bed at this time... Geez, it's past eight a.m" Alexa tucked in a strand of her purple hair behind her ears then placed her hands on her waist."It's still too early" I got up from the bed... "I like waking up somewhere around ten or maybe eleven but definitely not eight-ish" I complained as I neatly arranged the blanket on the bed."Well, you're in our house and we have rules… everyone is up and breakfast is ready" Alexa rolled her eyes "I don't follow rules and I can eat my breakfast whenever I wake up" I threw myself back on the bed"You just arranged that" Alexa chuckled as she facepalmed"Ugh!"

Lorenzo's povI watched Jacqueline as she fought Ali with everything she had in her. I had never seen someone as fierce, strong and courageous as her… she wasn't scared of the fact that Ali was bigger than she was and the doubtfulness of the crowd didn't make her lose hope in fighting against Ali.. This girl never ceased to amaze me. When Ali had given her that blow to her midsection, it took alot of self control to stop myself from breaking into that cage to give him the beating of his life. I wanted to rush in there and carry her out of that bloody fight, I don't know why but the thought of Jacqueline getting hurt pissed me off.. I felt relieved when she had her comeback, it felt like a heavy weight on your chest had been lifted up. The genuine smile that beamed on her face as she was announced the winner was contagious. God, this has got to be the most beautiful woman I've laid my eyes on. Jacqueline was very attractive, it's hard to keep your eyes off her.. my eyes were glued

I felt rays of the morning sun hitting my face on the bed, I could hear Lorenzo speaking to his phone, his voice barely audible I opened my eyes slowly as I sat on the bed, I stared at the wall clock in our room which reads 7:05am. I lazily got up from the bed and walked towards Lorenzo, he seemed prepared, he was wearing casual shorts and an unbuttoned light linen shirt, exposing his six packs “Who was that?” I asked curiously, pointing at his phone as he hung up the call.“It's Athony..” he answered in a low tone, “he wants me to come back to the US.” He sat on the couch… “tonight” he added.“Tonight?” My face became gloomy, “it was supposed to be a five day vacation right? It isn't up to five days” I spoke in a sad tone, I wasn't ready to leave France just yet. “I didn't even get to see the eiffel tower” I muttered to myself“I'm needed back home Jacqueline, I have responsibilities at the Matrix” he got up from the couch and walked up to me, he placed his hands on my shoulders “I

It was the following day, my curiosity was piqued as Lorenzo drove to a secluded field just outside the town“What are we doing today?” I asked him as I stared out the window, watching the trees pass by.“Just wait and see doll, I've planned something special for you today” As we arrived, I saw a colourful hot air balloon being prepared for flight. My face instantly lit up with joy “I've always wanted to be on a hot air balloon since I was a child.. Thank you Enzo” I hugged him tightly “I thought you might like it, and I'm glad you did” he replied, hugging me back “Are you ready for an adventure?” He asked, stretching his hand out.“Heck yes!!” I squealed as I took his time. We climbed into the basket, and the pilot gave us a warm welcome in English.As the balloon lifted off the ground , I felt a rush of exhilaration, we soared higher and higher, the landscape unfolding beneath us in a breathtaking panorama of rolling hills, quaint villages and vineyards.“This is so amazing, I do

As we walked back to the car, the night air was cool and refreshing, the stars twinkled above us and the suddenly quiet town was magical under the soft glow of the streetlight.When we got to the car, Lorenzo opened the door for me “after you my lady” he said with a playful smile “Thank you, kind sir” I giggled as I got into the car.Lorenzo drove us to an Inn, it was a stone building covered in ivy, there were warm lights glowing from the windows. “This place is beautiful. I could stay here forever Enzo” I spoke as we pulled up.We checked in and were shown our room. It had a large, comfortable bed with soft, white linens, a fireplace and a balcony that overlooks the garden.“You really thought this through Enzo” I said, taking in the room.I felt Lorenzo's large arms wrapped around me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder “like I said before doll, I simply want you to be happy” I turned in his arms and kissed him softly on his lips “I'm more than happy Enzo”After a very r

Lorenzo led me through the small airport, everything was written in French, I got very confused but I followed Lorenzo with no questions asked. When we got outside, an audi e-tron gt awaited us. The car journey was peaceful with rolling hills and charming villages passing by. Soon after, Lorenzo stopped the car at a lookout point that offered an amazing view of a quaint village below.“Welcome to your mother's hometown, Jacqueline” Lorenzo spoke softly, staring at me “No way! Are… are you serious Enzo? We're… we're in France?” I stuttered because of the overwhelming excitement I felt..“Yes,” Lorenzo nodded, smiling warmly at me. “I wanted to make you happy and I figured out this would be the perfect place to bring that happiness”“Oh my God” Tears of joy filled my eyes. “I really can't believe I'm in my mother's hometown… I've been dying to come here but it wasn't possible” I tried to control my tears by cleaning them but it wasn't working. I threw my arms around Lorenzo, hugging h

“Where are you going? Jacqueline for goodness sake slow the fuck down!” “Jacqueline!!” “Goddamnit Jacqueline!!”Lorenzo yelled out, walking as fast as he could, pursuing me from the rooftop. I refused to listen to him and neither did I slow my pace. What the hell was I thinking, allowing myself to fall for a man who's about to be engaged and married? I admit I made a mistake in trying to use my charm on Lorenzo and it has to end, whatever it was that's going on between the both of us has to end.I got to my room, quickly opened the door and slammed the door shut in Lorenzo's face, locking it from the inside. “Please Jacqueline” Lorenzo pleaded from outside the door “Just go away…” I yelled from inside the room. “I'm not leaving Jacqueline” Lorenzo angrily kicks the door wide open, breaking the lock. “Now you've ruined it” I rolled my eyes “that's not the problem here” he growled at me “What the fuck is wrong with you Lorenzo? Why are you still doing this? You're su

"How's everything going at the warehouse?" Lorenzo asked Alex who was sitting on a chair besides him "Bro, you just got out of coma and you're thinking about the crime family?" Alex shook his head. "that's lame, you need to rest and take a break from the matrix" "Dons don't do break" Lorenzo simply answered. "I can see you're so eager to take over from Dad" Alex Chuckled "Raphael and I are taking care of things over there, you just need to relax and focus on getting better" "speaking of getting better, you should eat something Enzo" I spoke as I wheeled the over bed table to Lorenzo after setting his meal on it "Thanks" he sat uprightly getting ready to eat "Do you know Jacqueline never left your side the whole time you were in Coma?" Alex askedLorenzo in surprise stared at me for a moment before turning his gaze back to Alex "No" he answered, shaking his head slightly I quickly walked out of the room before I hear more of Alex silly talks. I spent days in the hospital

Beep!Beep!Beep! The room will filled with the sound of monitors. We had taken Lorenzo to a private hospital. He was placed in a medically induced coma to stabilize his condition, allowing him to heal. Avery had shot him on the chest dangerously close to his heart, shattering a rib. The trauma to his chest caused severe internal bleeding and shock.I couldn't believe Lorenzo risked his life to save mine. I held his hand tightly, praying that he would wake up soon. I stared at him as memories about him came flooding through my head. I remembered the first day we met, how he saved me from the cops and treated me, all Lorenzo ever did was nothing but saving me; saving me from bad guys, saving me from the demons in my head. “Please wake up Enzo” I sniffed. My eyes were red and swollen from crying. “Jacqueline, you need to rest now” Alex entered the room his face filled with sympathy. “No, I have to be here till he wakes up… it's my fault he's in this condition” I replied still sta

“Let me out of here you scumbag!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice, banging the metallic door “Open this fucking door you asshole”“Let me out of here”“You fucking piece of shit”“Son of a bitch”“Fuck you!!!!”I rained curses at him as I kept on banging on the door.. I sat on the floor, crying when it dawned on me that I'm never get out of here“No, this can't be happening” I cried profusely. “I just wanted to clear my name and make Lorenzo believe me again” “You're hurting my ears, Jacqueline” I heard a weak male voice coming from the same room I was kept in “Who… who are you?” I quickly got up from the floor, wiping my tears. I didn't get the chance to scan the room I was kept in, I was so desperate for my freedom, continuously banging on the door as soon as Pablo and his men left. As I moved closer, I saw a male figure sitting on a chair, I couldn't see him clearly because of how dimly lit the room was.“It's me, Alex” he informed in a weak voice “Alex Hernandez?” I asked

“Excuse me, can you please lend me your phone, I need to make an important call” I asked a young man who was sitting next to me at a bar. I left my phone I used in contacting Alonso at the Hernandez mansion, going back there would be suicide. “Sure” the young man politely smiled at me, handing over his phone to me.I quickly dialed Alonso's number, I had memorized his number in case I ever find myself in a critical situation.“Speak” Alonso ordered from over the phone, it took a while before he picked up the call.“Uncle, this is Jacqueline” I informed immediately, my voice low as possible, I didn't want anyone to hear my conversation.“Jacqueline, I've tried reaching you several times. I have some informations and the whereabouts of the snake tattooed guy” he spoke amiably “Thank God!” I let out a heavy sigh. “I have a situation, uncle… I just escaped from Lorenzo and they're searching for me, I don't know how long till they track me down. I need immediate help to get out of here”
