Lorenzo's P.O.V“Good morning boss. These are the papers that show the amount and types of iron they would like to purchase. Stainless steel seems to be the most demanded for but we are short on it.” I hear one of my staff say but I didn't want to listen.I knew this was business and also knew not to mix any other thing with business but I was angry.I heard my name being called, once twice and then I heard nothing.I was in a conference room but far away at the same time, lost in my thoughts.I had been angry since I woke up and I didn't know how to manage it. The thought frustrated me so much.It was like a thorn I could not get rid ofEARLIER THAT DAY: “I've had enough of your muteness. It's so obvious that you talk to everyone but me and I don't know why.” I said to her immediately she woke up. She slept by my side yesterday and I felt good seeing her wake up beside me, and even better when I saw that she took care of me the whole night.“I have nothing to say to you besides the
Pacing in my room. I pondered on the possible reason why the mafia man wanted me to talk to him so much.Was his who bruised seeing that he was the only one I wasn't talking to?I didn't understand him and I didn't want to if I was being honest.He was in and off and weird, and nice and wicked, and considerate and inconsiderate, all at the same time.It was tiring.I have thought and thought about what his plan for me was. I hated living on the edge and having so many thoughts with no conclusion. As soon as I had this though, I heard the sound of the mafia man's car and for some seconds, I felt cold with fears.Ever since I left my father's house, I had reacted the same way everytime I heard the sound of a car whether it was similar to my father's or not, I felt terror when I hear the sounds of a car's engine.“What have you done to me little traitor?” The mafia man asks as soon as he walked through the main door, knowing that I could hear him from my room.The question caught me of
My heartbeat quickened as I jumped up from sleep, awoken by a violent knock on the door. I wondered what exactly was happening and had somehow come up with the worst possibilities possible. The violent knock came again and this time, I ran to the door to see who it was and why the knock was so aggressive. Opening the door, I saw Janet standing on the other side with a crazed look, and oh boy, was I scared. Very scared because this woman was always composed, and calm. “Did master come here yesterday?” She asks with a fire in her eyes that could burn this room to ashes. I wonder what the problem was this time Scared and confused but curious, I nodded a yes to her question. The anger somehow looked like it doubled when I nodded and it made me remember that she hated no words. “Y-Yes, he did.” I responded, my voice shaking uncontrollably as I took a step back with every step she took towards me. Was she going to hit me? Did the mafia man send her here to finish the job? Nah,
For the last two days, the mafia man has been weird but unlike this weird and hoped that this weird would last forever because he was taking great care of me and didn't leave me even when he was going to work. It was like he had to have his eyes in me the whole time.Since the incident with Janet, I had woken up everyday to him sitting by the bedside with his head on the bed beside me.He would wake up early and go back to his room, thinking I didn't know but I knew very well.What was he up to?The switch up was too fast that I could not help but think it was another tactic to fulfilling his promise.“Morning Miss Sarah.” The man who had introduced himself to me as Daniel, comes in with a meal that I had rejected earlier.‘How did they known I didn't eat?’ I ask myself and then realize who it was, and so I saying my eyes at them who were already looking at me, causing them to turn their faces forward and very fast.I couldn't help but smile.“Thank you Sir but I'm not hungry.” I sta
Lorenzo's P.O.VIt was the day of the event, and I could not pretend that I was happy about it. Most of these business men had relations with the mafia, and if I pick one, I may be gaining an enemy which was why I never associated with any of them.I needed a plus one and Sarah would be coming with me.Somehow, that made it a little better because despite the fact that I didn't want to make another enemy, I hated crowds and events.Too many people somehow made me overstimulated. I preferred peace and quiet.Walking down to my room, I see the jewelry box that contained, an earring, necklace and a rin, that I got for Sarah.It should go perfectly well with her purple dress, and her skin tone. At least, that's what the lady at the store told me after describing her looks and dress to her.Using the door that I created to connect our rooms together, I walk in and my mouth almostwster at the sight in front of me.I hated the way I was so easily moved when it came to her but it appeared lik
The part was one that felt scary. I had never been to a party but I could tek that this was not an ideal party.The women were pretending and the men also all had fake laughter's. It irked me.As soon as we stepped in, the noise went silent and everyone began to whisper. Talk about hating to be the center of attraction.“Don't leave this spot.” The mafia man offered as he helped me sit down in a chair at the bar, due to my huge dress.I nodded in response and turned away immediately.I was angry at him.Who kisses someone abruptly and then walks away without saying a word, only to come back and drop something like nothing happened and the kiss was just a figment of your imagination.Everytime inremember that kisss, my lips tingle because that was exactly hownmy heart tungked with that kiss. He may be annoying and sometimes, wicked but his kiss out a fire in me that I didn't want.Now, everytime I look at him, my eyes are magnetically drawn to his lips and it scared me that I actually
Lorenzo's P.O.VI was filled with rage and the moment I saw Daniel, I landed a punch on his jaw in anger. I specifically told him to watch Sarah's every move and everyone around Sarah, but he neglected his duty.I was about to throw another punch when i saw the person I wanted to hurt the most, right now.Juliet.As soon as my tongue came in contact with Sarah's blood I knew immediately who he was that poisoned her.It was the poison that I had taught her how to use, and in the exact same dosage that I had structured how to use when I wanted to poison someone little by little.The thoughts that I was the one that taught us something that almost killed the one person that I care about pained me very deeply.I brought Janet in when she was about 11 years old. The both of us were on the streets, both of us lost our parents, both of us were miserable at the time, and so when I got help from my auntie I had no choice but to help her to because we were of the same kind at the time, and si
“Why hasn't she taken her drugs yet?” The mafia man asked from outside, and from his voice, I could tell that he was pissed, but a little smile appeared on my lips as the thought crossed my mind.He had been different.Theseoasr few days were one that had shocked me with every single second that passed. This notorious man had changed so much that I couldn't keep thinking it was a trick.Does he actually care for me? Or does he pity me? These had been the two questions that have plagued my mind but then, I also knew that I was not ready for the answers because I didn't know whether or not, I actually wanted him.Yes, I want the kiss again if I'm being honest but I think it's just out of curiosity, and the thrill of a handsome dangerous man kissing me.The thought had me imagining it.One of his ha ds in my waist and the other cupping my jaw, and his lips on mine. Tasking, feeling and exploring every single part of my mouth.Just thinking about it, had goosebumps appearing in my skin.
“What is it?” Daniel asks in a haste, seeing my expression, and walked back in as he just stepped out. I could not even utter a word and so I turned the screen to him. “Oh God.” He whispered out in shock as I aggressively blink back the tears in my eyes. It was a video call and I would be damned if they see me react this way. Keeping my face still, the fucker brings the phone closer to her as the person who had his hands on her neck as soon as I picked up, slapped her, hard. I clenched my jaw at the action, stilling every vein in my body to keep myself from reacting, and they didn't stop at one. He continued slapping her and I counted. One Two Three, untill it was about 14 slaps. My whole body vibrated in anger and helplessnes, but I stood still and knew that I had to do something to get them to stop, even it means she'll hate me after this. As I watched, I shared the screen and video to my team. The brains of my work and company. I knew it would be almost impossible for
An unsettling feeling pooled at the pit of my stomach as I open my eyes, just to see nothing. It was pitch black and it took me a while of uncomfortable moving around to realize that I was blindfolded and gagged.My heart thundered in my chest as I anticipated what was going to happen next. Well, there was no need anticipating as I knew it was definitely torture awaiting me as soon as they knew I was awake.Slowly, I try to get back into the position I was laying in when the door cracked open and I immediately pretend like I was not awake.Unfortunately the pretense was not useful as immediately the person entered, I was drowned in cold heaps of water.My whole body stilled as if frozen due to the fact that my body didn't know how to react to the overwhelming sensation I felt in this moment.It felt like I was thrown into a sea with my hands, mouth and legs bound, and for a second I felt death.This was not the first time I had gone through being kidnapped or locked up but this time
Lorenzo's P.O.VMy hands immediately felt heavy when I got the call that I dreaded the most.I knew from the second I started to like her that there was a possibility that could be in danger, just for my affection.I knew that there were so many people that wanted to harm me but could not get to me and would definitely try through her.I knew it, and that's one of the reasons I tried to stay away but it still happened.I could not remember the last time I felt fear such as this. It was overwhelming and for a minute I wanted to crash out but if I do, what would my baby do?Immediately composing myself, I pick up the phone that had its glass now shattered from the force with which it dropped.“Find them. Use whatever means you can.” I spoke into the phone seeing that the call was still on. My voice was low and defeated, somehow having no strength to even disclose his exactly I felt.Seeing all the emotions I was expressing, Daniel stood up abruptly walking up to me with an expression th
The mall was a fun place. With every step was a new store that had things the shop before it didn't have and it fascinated me.It was definitely not too new to me because I had read a lot and pictured it in my head so many times. However, it could not be compared to actually being here in person.“Ugh, I'm so full,” I grumble as Warren passes me yet another ice cream.We had guns from store to store, mostly tasting and trying every food we came across and I wasn't complaining.It just that right now, I could not breathe.We shopped, we ate and I marvelled at the fact that people actually live like this. The mall was packed with people and mostly kids with their parents.Every single one I passed made me question just why my own childhood had to be so different and full of suffering.I didn't even have enough time to wallow in my self pity when I noticed two men by our right staring at us.It was only for a point second, but u could swear they looked at us like they targeted us.Immedi
My lips buzzed and my heart tingled from the dream I just had.The mafia man kissed me. So gently, like I was glass that could break any second pressure was applied.The short kisses and his groans were sounds that I wanted to keep imprinted in my mind forever.Turning and stretching with a smile on my face and my eyes closed, I squeal as I stretched in content, just to open my eyes and see the mafia man staring at me in my bed.“Ahh!” I scream as I jump up. My tingles and content long forgotten and now replaced with shock and a little bit of confusion because deep down, I knew why he was here.It wasn't a dream!“You don't remember last night? I thought I was the one who was drunk.” He says with mischief written all over his face and a sly smirk, immediately after which the memories came folding back in.How I convinced myself that it was a dream was the most shocking thing because now that I recall, it was real.Too real.It scared meFlashback“Now tell me, do you want to keep tes
Lorenzo's P.O.VThe cells were filled with it's usual stench, only now overshadowed by the smell of blood.That fucker Francis doesn't know what exactly he has gotten himself into.Passing the polythene bag in my hand to Daniel, I instruct that he disposes of its content which includes the fingers of Francis and his men.If there was one thing I was known for, it was my torturing methods.Methods that could break even the strongest and most vicious men.I started from pain that would normally seem insignificant but was actually unbearable to the average person.I always started from plucking out their fingernails, and then move to the fingers, after which I leave them to heal a bit.Let the pain die down and just when they think they are healing in about two days, I come back and continue my torture, making sure to inflict permanent injuries in places that would not kill them so easily.This was the reason why I admired the ones who killed themselves before I got a hold of them.It wa
“Sarah!” A loud voice called from the other side if the door and I didn't need a fortune teller to know that it was the mafia man, just that somehow, his voice was different.The night had been perfect so far. Since I had been allowed to leave the room, I religiously went on night walks, especially to the garden.It was so beautiful.Not just beautiful, but smelt like heavenThis house was slowly beginning to be a prison I did not want to escape and the owner of the house was not making it any easier.Speaking of the devil, I scrambled around to pick some clothes I had scattered all over the bed which included some undies and I knew very well that I would die of embarrassment if he saw them.Taking a quick look at the room to ensure that it was decent enough, I opened up with a nervous smile only to see a very drunk Lorenzo in front of me.“Hi Sarah.” He mumbled almost inaudibly as he reached for me with his arms extended out like he wanted a hug.Frowning in confusion, I stretch a h
My whole body buzzed with excitement and curiosity since yesterday.How someone could say that and then act like he said nothing the next day, baffled me so much.“Are you ready?” He barges in as he asks. The sudden harsh sound of the door colliding with the wall had me gasping.“Oh, I'm sorry.” He said again and I still had to blink twice tu register that he had said sorry. It was not a word I would easily get used to him saying.“Um, almost?” I respond like I was asking him another question ti which he just awkwardly nodded and took a step back towards the door but attentively staring at the ground.“O-Okay. I'll wait for you outside.” He states as he takes slow steps away from my room, but I didn't miss the sharp looke he took towards me as exited.Why did he look like he wanted something else? I thought to myself and quite honestly, just git confused the more I thought about him.Nowadays, he had been stumbling on his words, acting weird and giving me so much care and respect that
It was just noon and he had made a million little trips to my room. It was confusing but amusing because for some reason, he was not the mafia man.More like a clumsy mess.The first time, he came with fruits. The green berries that I had become obsessed with since the first day the maid brought them alongside my meals.With every trip he made to my room, he brought something with him, and although I loved everything he brought, I was getting more confused with each visit.“Hey, I-” He started as he opened the door but stopped mid-sentence, making me turn lazily to look at him.Before he came in, I was laying in my stomach, and facing the wall which was opposite the door, and now I was facing him and he looked stuck in place.“Uhh.” I voiced out, not knowing what to say as he looked so stiff standing exactly where the door was, not moving an inch and for a second, I wondered if he actually walked in here on his own. Curios and amused at the same time, I move to stand up and he took i
