The Heartless Lover Chapter 34
I stepped into the vast ballroom with all the confidence I had in me. The atmosphere was rich with an air of both celebration and caution. I stood at the corner of the room, quietly accessing and savouring every bit of the scene. Crystal chandeliers hung from above, their light casting a golden glow over the room, creating a play of shadows that added to the enigmatic ambiance.Heavy, burgundy velvet drapes framed the tall windows, offering glimpses of the night outside, with the moonlight barely piercing through. In the center of the room, a long, elegant table is laden with an array of gourmet dishes, silver platters filled with delicacies, and crystal glasses brimming with the finest wines and spirits. The scent of rich food mingled with the faint hint of expensive cigars and perfume, creating a heady mix that speaks of luxury and indulgence. Guests, dressed in their finest attire, mingled and converse in hushed tones. The men were in sharp, tailored suits, and the women in

"Pull the damn trigger little girl" "No... I won't" "Listen, baby, it's fine... I will always love you, even In my grave.. shoot me, save yourself" "I can't do it dad" I knew this was my past haunting me in my dream, reliving that same day in my head. I wanted to open my eyes so badly but I couldn't, i tried to my move my body, but I felt paralyzed "You killed your father Jacqueline. What kind of daughter does that?" "No, no... I didn't, it wasn't intentional" "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR DEATH!!!" "YOU ARE HEARTLESS!!!" "STOP!!" I managed to let out a scream as I sat upright on the bed, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably like a tap that's broken. "I swear I'm not heartless mom" I sobbed as I spoke to myself "Jacqueline" Lorenzo who was sleeping beside me whispered softly as he gently touched my shoulder. "What's wrong Jacqueline?" He asked with concern but I was unable to speak. I found myself soaking into the embrace of Lorenzo, his large arms wrapped

I knocked on the door to Lorenzo's office adjusting my tightly fitted blouse.."It's open" his deep voice boomed from inside the office.I gently opened the door and timidly walked inside. Avery was already in his office, she was arranging some documents on his table while Lorenzo's head was buried in some paperworks."Is there anything else you want me to do for you?" Avery spoke in a sultry manner as she placed her hand on his shoulder He shook his head."Alright, call me whenever you need me" she smiled at him before turning to leave. She gave me a dirty look as she walked past me, leaving the office."You sent for me?" I asked because it seemed like he had completely forgotten about my presence."Yes I did" he spoke in a monotone, raising his head up to meet my gaze. "I just want to inform you about an important shipment coming up on the 5th of September" he rested his back on his executive chair before he continued. " That's three weeks from now, I need you and Avery at the load

The next day,It was six in the morning, I had barely gotten any sleep the previous night. I spent the night trying to think of possible ways to clear my name, most especially before Anthony returns from Italy. I highly doubt he would be as understanding as Lorenzo.I placed my laptop on my thigh as I spoke to Sophie in a video call, she knew all about my plan to take down the Hernandez, even when I got here, I never stopped talking to her, we had our usual discussion, excluding the part of me trying to destroy them“It's been days I heard from you Jacquie, what's going on in your life?” Sophie's voice came out of the laptop with curiosity“Let's talk about you Sophie, how are you and the kids?” I avoided the question, I wasn't really ready to talk about the fact that my plan was already getting ruined before it began. “The kids and I are doing great!” She answered gleefully. “Who knew taking care of kids would be this exhausting! Even with the Nanny, I still can't keep up” She groan

“I don't know how this is going to help you prove your innocence but take it” Lorenzo handed over a disc which contained the surveillance footage of me handing over document to the sketchy guy. It's been three days since the accusations, I didn't know where to start from to prove my innocence, I was hoping I could dig something out from this footage “Thanks” I collected it from him“I hope for your sake this is all a set up as you claim it is” Lorenzo's voice tinged with skepticism “I'll be headed to the mansion” I simply told him before I left his office.I watched the video over and over again but I couldn't get anything. I angrily got up and kicked the chair I was sitting on. I groaned in frustration.“There has to be something…. Jacqueline Cattaneo, you've got to calm down, take a deep breath and look at the fucking footage one last time” I spoke to myself while picking up the chair I had kicked earlier, setting it next to the table. I sat down, rummaged my fingers through my ha

“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”

“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

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

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.
