The Heartless Lover Chapter 41
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

"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

“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

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

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

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

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
The Heartless Lover Chapter 1
I stood by the seashore with my hoodie on, my face barely showing, waiting for our boat to come in. Beside me was Warren or as we would like to call him War because he was hot-headed, there was Kayden, we had been friends since childhood, as for Melinda, we're just acquaintances, I don't seem to flow easily with her and then, there was Bianca, my best friend since childhood, we got separated at some point but that's another story for later. There was also a huge truck behind us with Federico who appeared to be in his early fifties waiting in the driver's seat."This is taking much longer than it should" Warren groaned. "Dude, relax, they'll be here soon" Kayden put the cigarette in his mouth and blew a puff of smoke into the cold air."Bullshit" Warren isn't one to be patient, he always wanted things to be done quickly which sometimes puts our plan in jeopardy. I always go by the saying; slow and steady wins the race but this was frustrating me, we'd been here for more than 30 minute
