All Chapters of The Heartless Lover : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Two weeks have passed since the night I tried to talk to Lorenzo at the warehouse. Lorenzo had been cold and distant towards me, he did whatever he could to avoid my presence or avoid having a conversation with me. I became more active in the family's operations, hoping to distract myself because the sudden change of Lorenzo's attitude towards me was killing me. It was evening time, I was sorting through some documents in Lorenzo's office.. What if Lorenzo doesn't have feelings for me? Why would he let Alex's word get deep into him? What if all the times we spent together meant nothing to him? I was drowning in the what ifs while sorting the documentsSuddenly the door swung open and Lorenzo walked in, distracting me from my thoughts. He didn't even bother to acknowledge my presence, he barely glanced at me before heading to his desk “I'm sick and tired of this Enzo!” I voiced out as I turned to him, breaking the silence between us. Lorenzo was already busy going through some docume

I remained in the kitchen, thinking of ways I could still get Lorenzo, before my Uncle's ultimatum, when I heard a creaking sound coming out from the living room, I quietly walked towards the living with a clenched fist ready to pounce on whatever danger that was waiting for me.“Who's there?” The shadowy figure stopped moving the moment it heard my voice, I quickly located the switch and turned on the light. “Geez purple head!” I rolled my eyes “why are you sneaking back into your father's house?” “Because that psycho will kill me if he finds out I was out late again” she walked past me “I'm heading to bed, I'm tired”“Hold it right there little sneak” I folded my arms as I moved towards her “What is it?” She stopped her tracks and turned to me“Where have you been? You don't usually stay out till 3am” I squinted my eyes at her“Oh stop it Jacqueline” she shrugged “I was busy, I had some errands at the warehouse”“Errands? Anthony would be completely fine if you had errands, that

“Ma chérie” I heard my mother's voice, soft and delicate, calling out to me.“mom? Is that you?” I spoke in a low voice, I couldn't see anything, everything was pitch black, I didn't know if I was still asleep or awake. I wasn't sure if this was a dream or another one of my hallucinations.“Mon petit cœur, mon bijou, ma belle, ma princesse, mon trésor” I felt her soft yet trembling hands cupping my face.“Mom” I sniffed, I missed her so much. She often called me with these terms of endearment when I was kid. Mon petit cœur meaning my little heart, Mon bijou meaning my jewel, Ma belle meaning my beautiful one, Ma princesse meaning my princess and Mon trésor meaning my treasure. My mum knew how to make me feel special.“I miss you so much mon amour” her voice was shaky as she spoke, “your father misses you too and so does your sibling, why did you have to let us die Jacqueline? Why did you pull the trigger?” She asked in a calm voice filled with so much pain“It was a mistake mum” I fe

My eyes fluttered open, the surrounding was a blur of indistinct shapes and colours. My head throbbed with a dull, persistent pain, as if a heavy weight was pressing down on my skull.“Oh thank goodness, she's awake” I heard a faint voice echoing.I blinked several times, trying to make sense of my surroundings. I was lying on a soft plush couch, my body aching as if I'd been thrown down mercilessly.“Jacqueline… Jacqueline!!!!” The voice called out several times, trying to make me conscious. “Go get some aspirin and a glass of water for her.. Hurry!!” The voice became clearer to me now, it was Alexa's.I reached up to touch the back of my head as I struggled to sit upright on the couch. I hissed through clenched teeth as the pain on my head flared, sharp and immediate.“Easy there” Haze rushed to sit beside me, giving me support“What the hell happened?” I groaned in pain “I'm sorry for hitting your head” Alexa apologized in a soft voice “but you can't blame me… I knew someone was f

I walked into a segment of the warehouse where drugs were being sealed and ready for distribution. It was bustling with activities, as some packaged and sealed the drugs, others moved the crates and boxes for distribution. Every day was a busy day at the warehouse, but today was more stressful. Anthony is still infuriated at the huge amount of money he lost and wants to recover it as soon as possible so he's making them sell more drugs than usual. As I walked through the rows of crates, I spotted the small, isolated corner of the warehouse where the highest quality products were stored. The drugs were carefully packaged and sealed, set aside for Matrix's most lucrative clients who demanded nothing but the best.“What are you doing here?” Alexa spoke from behind me as I approached the crate “Inspection” I answered before turning to her direction. “and investigation” I said in a low tone “Because Warren is my boyfriend, and our goods were hijacked while I was incharge of the shipmen
