All Chapters of The Heartless Lover : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"I never knew you were once engaged" I tried to start a conversation as I was in Lorenzo's office, prepping for my mission. "Now you know" Lorenzo responded while putting bullets in his handgun "So, what happened? why was it called off" I asked as I adjusted my black hand glove, it's was pretty tight but I didn't mind "I don't do marriages or the idea of forever" Lorenzo answers coldly "Then why proposing to her in the first place if you're just gonna call off of the engagement? or was this some sort of your evil plan?" I chuckled "you know the world we grow up in. I, didn't propose to Cheyenne, it was going to be an arranged marriage but I'm not like my mum who agrees to shit" he tossed his gun at me which I caught effortlessly "Cheyenne seems nice" I spoke sarcastically with a smile on my face "You do know she's the daughter of the man you murdered... right?" I wasn't shocked when he said that, it seems like the matrix knows literally everything about me... well, ex

I stepped into the vast ballroom with all the confidence I had in me. The atmosphere was rich with an air of both celebration and caution. I stood at the corner of the room, quietly accessing and savouring every bit of the scene. Crystal chandeliers hung from above, their light casting a golden glow over the room, creating a play of shadows that added to the enigmatic ambiance.Heavy, burgundy velvet drapes framed the tall windows, offering glimpses of the night outside, with the moonlight barely piercing through. In the center of the room, a long, elegant table is laden with an array of gourmet dishes, silver platters filled with delicacies, and crystal glasses brimming with the finest wines and spirits. The scent of rich food mingled with the faint hint of expensive cigars and perfume, creating a heady mix that speaks of luxury and indulgence. Guests, dressed in their finest attire, mingled and converse in hushed tones. The men were in sharp, tailored suits, and the women in

I knocked on the door to Lorenzo's office adjusting my tightly fitted blouse.."It's open" his deep voice boomed from inside the office.I gently opened the door and timidly walked inside. Avery was already in his office, she was arranging some documents on his table while Lorenzo's head was buried in some paperworks."Is there anything else you want me to do for you?" Avery spoke in a sultry manner as she placed her hand on his shoulder He shook his head."Alright, call me whenever you need me" she smiled at him before turning to leave. She gave me a dirty look as she walked past me, leaving the office."You sent for me?" I asked because it seemed like he had completely forgotten about my presence."Yes I did" he spoke in a monotone, raising his head up to meet my gaze. "I just want to inform you about an important shipment coming up on the 5th of September" he rested his back on his executive chair before he continued. " That's three weeks from now, I need you and Avery at the load

“I don't know how this is going to help you prove your innocence but take it” Lorenzo handed over a disc which contained the surveillance footage of me handing over document to the sketchy guy. It's been three days since the accusations, I didn't know where to start from to prove my innocence, I was hoping I could dig something out from this footage “Thanks” I collected it from him“I hope for your sake this is all a set up as you claim it is” Lorenzo's voice tinged with skepticism “I'll be headed to the mansion” I simply told him before I left his office.I watched the video over and over again but I couldn't get anything. I angrily got up and kicked the chair I was sitting on. I groaned in frustration.“There has to be something…. Jacqueline Cattaneo, you've got to calm down, take a deep breath and look at the fucking footage one last time” I spoke to myself while picking up the chair I had kicked earlier, setting it next to the table. I sat down, rummaged my fingers through my ha

“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
