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
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
"Are you okay?" I nodded my head to his question. This man I barely knew saved me from those gangsters and unknowingly to him, from the police. When we lost track of those gangsters, he took me to a small cabin in the woods. I sat on the chair while he went to bring out a first aid kit."You own this place?" I asked in a low tone"Yes." he answered while checking the content in the first aid kit."Why did you take me here? We're in the middle of nowhere" I stared at him hoping to get a logical answer"You're safe, aren't you? By the way, what did you do to those men that made them want to kill you?" He asked curiously"Probably to keep their secret, I saw them kill a man" I shrugged my shoulders He nodded his head then continued with his question "I'm assuming they're the ones who shot you?" The man raised an eyebrow."Yes." I lied. I couldn't tell him it was the police otherwise he would ask more questions and probably turn me in."At this time, you should be indoors, they're so man
"You shouldn't have done that to him" I furrowed my brows at Tyron, we were in the warehouse walking through the hallway, Alonso had summoned for me."Aren't you gonna say something?" I stopped walking and faced him, I was mad at him. When Tyron barged in on Lorenzo and me, he didn't give us a chance to explain, instead, he charged immediately at Lorenzo, I could see the rage in Lorenzo's eyes when Tyron landed a punch right across his face but at the same time, he was trying to control himself. I yelled at Tyron to stop but he didn't listen. He kept on fighting, poor Lorenzo was defending himself while Tyron was mostly attacking."What did you think I would expect when you were in nothing but your underwear and a t-shirt? I thought he did something" Tyron folded his arms"Yes, he did something. He treated my fucking wound" I hissed at him"I had no idea" "Don't you know who I am? I'm more than capable of taking care of myself" I walked away from him. Tyron was one of my uncle's mo
"Who do you think is the snitch?" Bianca asked as she took a sip from the glass of tequila. We were at the bar in the warehouse."I don't know, it's been days and I still can't figure out anything" I tucked in a strand of my hair behind my ear"Whoever the person is, he or she must be putting on an A-game because they're good at acting" Bianca added"I know right?" I chuckled. "But not for long" An evil smile danced on my face."Hey look, Haze just walked in" Bianca nudged my elbow"I'm leaving" I stood up to leave but Haze spotted me and walked up to me. Haze was 2 years older than me, he was good-looking and quite charming, some of the girls here either wanted him or Warren or Kayden. Haze's signature look was his hairstyle, the base of it was black while the upper part was dyed Electric blue, he also had a slit on his left eyebrows."Damn gurl... Did you just fart? because you blew me away" He smirked at me thinking he had said something charming"Seriously? That's terrible!" I cri
"How's your thigh?" Lorenzo asked."It's fine, thanks to you. You should be a doctor" I joked, laughing a little bit"I wish I was" he chuckled Lorenzo and I spent the night together, we chatted for a while, had a few drinks, and danced until we became bored hence we decided to leave. I left a text for Bianca informing her I wouldn't end the night with them."Tell me about yourself" Lorenzo broke the silence between us. We were walking down the street, the street was lonely and the air was cold, luckily I had worn a jacket but it wasn't of much help "I'm just an ordinary girl" I answered simply, shoving my hands into the pockets of my trousers. "Tell me about yourself" I threw the statement back to him"I'm just an ordinary boy" he copied my answer. None of us said anything, we kept walking in silence."Lorenzo Hernandez" A male figure appeared in front of us from nowhere, I couldn't see his face clearly until he walked closer to us."Alessandro De Luca" I spoke under my breath, sho
Lorenzo took me to a mansion, several men were walking about in the compound with guns in their hands. After a series of biometric scans, we got into the grand, majestic living room, this mansion was huge, it was quite comparable to the one I live in with my uncle. "Where are we?" I looked around the living room. There was a movie with no volume playing on the unbelievably super large flat screen tv on the wall."This is where I live" He answered. A man dressed in all black walked into the living room, he had dark brown hair with a red tint. He whispered something into Lorenzo's ear and then left."Who else do you live with?" I asked curiously."My father, mother and siblings" He answered.I wanted to ask another question, but another man walked in with a stoned face. He had the same facial features as Lorenzo; Light brown hair but hazel eyes. There was a slight resemblance between them although he seemed very familiar to me, I must've seen him somewhere. "What the fuck is she doing
Raphael dropped me off as Lorenzo instructed. I stood outside the gate of my uncle's mansion, it was a few minutes after 4 am. I really hoped he was asleep because he'd be infuriated I went to the club and would be more furious that I was with Lorenzo. I walked into the building as quietly as I could, some men were up doing their security duties but I managed to sneak in without being caught. I slowly opened my room door, making sure it doesn't give a creaking sound. I startled when I saw Peter and Odette in my room."Shit! you guys nearly gave me a heart attack" I placed my hand on my chest as I closed the door."Didn't mean to" Odette scratched the back of her neck."We totally meant to" Peter folded his arms."What are you guys doing here anyway?" I took off my jacket and hung it on the rack next to the door."Father has been looking everywhere for you" Odette informed.I facepalmed, I was going to be in big trouble. Odette was a 14-year-old blonde-haired girl while Peter was 21.
