LORENZO POV
“Can you tell me why you are here?” Leigh-Ari intoned from the seat opposite mine. The dinner table was the only barrier between us and the light from the candles danced, causing ghost shadows to flicker on her face. Her eyes would flutter close when she blinked, she would occasionally wet her lips by swiping her moist tongue on her bottom lip then bite on it when she was lost deep in thought.
I took my wine glass and took a small sip, savoring the taste of highly fermented grapes which took years and years to reach the savory taste. I placed it gently on the table and looked back at her:
“I told you, I am the sponsor of the workshop. And in the business world, sponsors are present during the workshops. We just want to see that we gave out money for a good course, to something that would bring us profit. Because as harsh as it may sound, business people care about nothing, except profit!” I explained briefly bringing my arms to the table, then pla

LEIGH-ARIConsciousness slowly dawned on me and I became vaguely aware of my surrounding. My eyes were pinched closed and I seemed to be lying on my back with my head snuggled cozily on a plush pillow. However, it didn’t feel like I was waking up from a long sleep; it felt like a sedative was wearing off in my bloodstream and I was back to the land of the living.I groaned out aloud as I turned to my side and searched the side table for my phone. My hand came into contact with a hard dang ass frigid post and I let out a curse. What in the actual hell? I got up to a sitting position with my eyes still closed. Somehow they fell so heavy that I couldn’t even open them. After some brief negotiation with them, they slowly peeled open and I took in my surrounding.I was sitting on a huge four-poster king-sized bed covered in white sheets and a deep grey blanket was draped over my body. The white curtains of the bed were neatly cuffed up the metal posts, revealing the cream-painte

LORENZO POVAfter our little conversation, things got a little heated when reality settled in that there was no turning back! Leigh-Ari had asked for her phone, Vernero flat out told her no; she looked at me thinking I'd put in a good word for her but I just shrugged and continued drinking my wine.She had then fled out of the lounge running back to the room she was sleeping; temporarily.Vernero and I planned to take her to our bedrooms soon. Things were really looking up and I was loving every minute of it. Vernero turned with a phone in his hand, punched some digits, and then placed it on his ear:"Valerie, prepare Madam's room." He informed shortly and then hung up the call, walked towards me, and perched himself beside me."She is pissed." He called out, deep furrows forming on his forehead."She should be. Let's give her some time." I interjected giving him a manly slap on his back.I checked the watch on my hand and realized I was running insanely lat

LEIGH-ARIAfter my little conversation with the hooligan, he insisted I take a bath, and seeing as how he was on the edge of losing it; I had no choice but to comply with him.Something about him was vaguely off, and no matter how much I knew to calm people down, there was no calming him down. He was insane in his own way and I didn't want to tick him off, not while I was still clueless as to why they captured me. He seemed to be a very well poised psychopath who would skin you alive while he had a poker face.So nope! I wasn't playing anywhere near him.After eating, he took me down the staircases and beyond the lounge. I was really in awe of the interior and everything about this place. The room which I woke up in, seemed to be in a tower. and I had chuckled to myself when I realized they had locked me in a tower, like some kind of a princess in tales. After walking non-stop, rounding corners, and climbing up and down the stairs, we came to a very big and opulent h

VERNERO POVSitting in my big leather seat in my office, my eyes were glued to the desktop screen in front of me. The red dot moved from the spot where Dark Woods layed until it reached right within the city.I reclined into my seat and watched steadfastly as it went round and round in circles, assumingly from this shop to the next! Just when I thought things were going to be less... fascinating, the spot took off hurriedly and ran in a different direction.A smirk pulled up on my face and I leaned my arms on the table and watched it, things were about to get interesting!A sudden vibration of my phone pulled my eyes off the screen; it was Ciello. I clicked on the receive button and placed the phone on my ear:"Boss, I am so sorry. I lost her." Ciello rattled in the speaker causing me to deepen my smirk;"I know!" I replied shortly, my eyes moving back to the screen, the dot moved in the direction of the police station and I couldn't help but swell up with pride. M

LORENZO POV"The Marketing Director has already reviewed this plan President. And we would like to know what you think of it." One of the employees called out from the end of the boardroom desk. I was sitting at the head of it with my big giant seat nodding my head while my mind was evidently out of this place."Hmmm." I hummed softly and they passed the folder to Valerie who quickly opened it and presented it before my eyes. I went through the first page and turned to the second. Suddenly, my phone vibrated inside my pocket and I quickly fished it out! The text was from Vernero and it read: Your little Tesoro is on the run. "Redo the plan and submit it tomorrow," I informed closing the folder, and quickly got out of my seat and left the boardroom with people scratching their heads.Valerie was quick behind me and soon, the driver was swerving through the roads back to Dark Woods. Upon our arrival, I found Vernero already dressed in this two

LORENZO POVThe drive back to Dark Woods was haste, very rushed and Verzi stepped on it like he was chasing the wind. The silence was heavy in the car, the tension so thick you can cut it with the steak knife. Only the hard, savage pounding of my heart could be heard.Leigh-Ari hated me. And I got myself to blame for that. She was right about everything she spouted and yes I deceived her and disguised myself as someone else. Someone kind, loving, decent and cool. I took advantage of her memory loss and played her because I was just as shrewd as it gets. I was selfish, inconsiderate, and very possessive of my own shit!And I did what I did because I had to. Is that too much to understand? I did it because I had no choice. She belongs in Dark Woods with us. Not in some small crappy and tiny apartment in Cyprus.She belonged here, with her two men. Why couldn't she understand that? Why run away from us as soon as she arrived here?I turned to look at her to find her
Twin Tormentors Chapter 30
LEIGH-ARIConfusion, frustration, pain, and rage were the only things I felt. I had so many questions that needed answers. I had to know why, out of bazillion people in the world; why did they choose me? An ordinary woman from Cyprus who has never offended anyone since the beginning of ever! Why did they have to lock me up in this furnace? And why did they feel entitled to punish me?What sin did I commit?The steam in the sauna was unbearable. When Vernero brought me here, it was okay. I felt like I could sit in here for a long minute. It was hot, yes, but the heat wasn’t bad. However, a few minutes after he took off, the temperature rose by a hundred. I began sweating buckets until I shredded the little clothing I had on. I breathed it in with my organs, allowing it to fill my lungs like a gallon of fresh air. I was no stranger to the benefits of steam to the body and often recommended sauna visits to some of my patients. It soothed the burn on my cheek and lulled the pai
