The Heartless Lover Chapter 5
"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.

Alonso and I have been arguing for what seemed like hours. We were out talking to each other. Basically shouting, I couldn't even hear what he saw, I was just defending myself and I'm very sure he couldn't hear what I was saying too. "JACQUELINE!" Alonso yelled making me instantly keep quiet. When he saw that I was now quiet and ready to listen to him, he spoke in a calmer tone, yet angry. "I saw Raphael drop you off and now you're trying to say shit? Do you know who the fuck Anthony is?""He's the leader of The Matrix, I know that" I answered him "Yes and he's also a bloody murderer" "So are you, Alonso, so am I... it's the life we live, either kill or get killed. I know we're enemies but Lorenzo has saved my life twice" I tried to reason with Alonso. I know he's furious about the fact I got close to them."That's not what I mean Jacqueline. Anthony Hernandez killed your father, my only brother... he killed your mother and her unborn child" When Alonso said these words, my body f

Keith was pissing me off. He refused to tell us who the traitor was. I made sure I had battered him and vented out all my frustration and anger on him violently before he was locked up.I was walking out of the room where I had tortured him angrily when Melinda came running up to me."Hey... I heard the guys caught an accomplice" Melinda spoke while panting."You heard right" I adjusted my jacket."Has he said anything yet?" She started walking with me when she realized I wasn't gonna stop for any form of conversation."You think he'd spill the beans so easily?" I scoffed."Then we have to strike him where it hurts the most so he could speak up" She suggested."Yeah, no shit, sherlock holmes" I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I was just trying to help..." she paused and then looked up at me but I had nothing to say to her so she proceeded. "I know you see me as the coward in the group but I want to change that, I want to prove you wrong and do something beneficial"I stopped walking, then tu

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Bianca asked worriedly.we were in a car parked outside the grande gate of a huge mansion."Yes, I got this" I took in a deep breathThis wasn't just a random mansion, this was the mansion I grew up in with my late parents. I got the keys to the mansion from Alonso, I was ready for some closure."Just know I'm a phone call away" Bianca assured me before I got off the car. I simply nodded before she sped off. I opened the gate and walked into the compound... I was expecting to see overgrown grasses but everywhere was clean. Alonso wasn't lying when he said he hired someone to take care of the compound. Everything was just nostalgic, I remember playing by the lawn with my parents. I looked around the compound holding the urge to cry.I walked to the majestic door of the building, inserted the key and it opened up... I walked through the passage to the living room. My parent's pictures were still hung on the wall."Mum, Dad" I sniffled
The Heartless Lover Chapter 11
A few days later; present time.Have you ever felt that strong feeling of vengeance? When you desperately want those who hurt you to pay severely for what they've done, if not with their lives? That's exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning and for the past eight years of my life. All I could feel inside me was pure rage.Most nights when I fall asleep, I relive the death of my parents and whenever that happens, it's either I wake up with boiling blood or teary eyes but today, it's the former. If only I could do something to save them that day, I'm still not able to forgive myself for letting that man make me pull the trigger on my dad but I won't let it slide. I crave vengeance. I'm one who forgives easily but when you cross the limit I become impatient waiting for karma to take over. I turn into a vindictive person.Bianca barged into the room, cutting me short from my thoughts "Don't tell me you're still sleeping" she folded her arms "Can't you see I'm up already?" I grudgi

Lorenzo's POVI was at the gym in the warehouse, taking out my frustration on the punching bag which hung from the ceiling."You need to calm down" Raphael who was shirtless, sweating heavily with a towel hung across his neck walked up to me."This is my way of calling down" I threw a few punches at the punching bag, then continue to speak "otherwise, you won't be standing in front of me alive""Anthony's calling you" Alex walked in, informing me. We call our father by his name, simply because we never had any bond with him, I don't know about my siblings but I sure do hate Anthony."The old man's calling me" I smirked breathing heavily. I knew exactly why he was calling me. He returned from Italy with my mum and sister last night, he must've probably found out the niece of Alonso was here."Anthony didn't seem to be happy when he was yelling your name all over the warehouse" Alex spoke"Is there ever a time he's happy?, I'll answer him when I'm done" I continued punching the bag "Ju

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
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

“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”
