I am not brave anymore, darling. I am all broken. They have broke me. -Ernest Hemingway.|L O R E N Z O|"Do not force me to take this matter to Aleeza." Lucas threatened me. He has been doing this a lot lately. Threatening me, I mean. My phone ringed once in Aleeza's room but I could not pick it up.My hands reached to touch it but stopped even before my fingertips could graze the mobile phone. "Are you even listening to me?" Lucas demanded my attention. "Yes." I lie. I am not. My mind is occupied with another things like is Rocco done with his job or he just called for I do not know what. If his job is done, does that mean he killed her? Does that mean her heart stopped beating?Then, how come mine is working just fine. My anxiety grow as I battle between if to pick the call or let it rin and wait for his arrival instead. "Lorenzo!" Lucas shouted and I snapped my head to give him my undivided attention. But is it possible? When the only thing

Chapter 121

No one wants a half remembered tragedy. You must know the width of the knife and how it ruined you, name the organs it kissed. -Olivia Gatwood. |L O R E N Z O|"Why would you bring her here?" I glare at Rocco, who still stands like a dumb fucker."So, it was you who sent him?" Tori, her best friend, pinned me with an accusing index finger. "Oh my god! You sent him to kill her. Isn't it?" The expression of pure horror dawned on her face, as if she were realising it just now."How can one be so fucking inhuman?" She snapped at me as if she had every fucking right to. But I kept myself from snapping her neck. "You fucking asshole, you ruined her life." She cursed, and I clenched my fists on either side of me to control myself."I wonder what she even saw in you. If it had not been about that woman, you might have killed her before. I cannot believe she fell in love with a fucking asshole like you. She cried rivers for you when we took her and you!"

Chapter 122

I can not exactly describe how I feel but it is not quite right. And, it leaves me cold. -F. Scott Fitzgerald. |L O R E N Z O|Mason arrived soon later. He shares an unknowing look with Tori and decided to ignore her as he faced Lucas and asked him, "What is it?" His tone is patient and calm. "We have a problem." Lucas answers him, gesturing towards Tori with his eyes, who stands behind Mason with arms crossed against her chest. Mason turned and ran his eyes all the way from bottom to top on her body as if scanning for any familiar results in his mind but looked back at Lucas for introduction when found none. "She is Tori. Iris' friend." His head snapped back towards me and then he noticed Rocco sitting on the couch busy in his phone and away from this shit. He was quick to connect the dots as he sighed and asked, "What happened?" "Did you heard the call Mark informed you about? Where the name of Iris is called in back?" Rowan is the one who inqu

Chapter 123

I knew from the moment I met you. I would spend a lifetime missing you. -Lee Martens. |L O R E N Z O|"Sarah, we need your help." Rowan said, coming straight to the point. "Yes?" She asked with a little hesitance in her voice yet she was ready to help and that's what matters. "Do you remember him?" I questioned pointing at Mason who stands on the right side of Rowan. Her eyebrows pinched together as she scanned him from bottom to top, in order to find any resemblance or familiarity. "Oh yeah, I do." She answered with a recognised smile. "When I came to meet you I asked you the name of the girl who called the police from here. You said it was Iris." Mason explained to her. "Yup, because that's what she said." She shrugged, simply. Rowan pulled his phone out of his pocket and scrolled through his gallery to find a picture of her, Iris, before she turned the screen towards Sarah and asked her, "Was that her?" Sarah looked at the picture

Chapter 124

I often see how you sob over what you destroy, how you want to stop and just worship; and you do stop, and then a moment later you are at it again with a knife, like a surgeon. -Anaïs Nin.|L O R E N Z O|I remember, I keep remembering and there is nothing more tragic than this. To remember. When you know there is nothing left other than the memories, you remember. The one your mind forces you to live again and again. The memories which takes joy in killing you again and again by forcing you to live them and then bringing you back to life just to be killed again. This is a different kind of death. The one which more and more hurtful after each time. People say if you deal with pain on daily basis you eventually get immune to it. But they are wrong. People are wrong. This pain seems to be never ending. My heart feels shallow and light as if someone crawled their hands inside my heart and pulled out something important and necessary. I

Chapter 125

The most fucked up thing the universe can do to a person is send them the love of their life at the same time. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|A soft knock appeared on the door and I lifted my head to see Rowan standing at the threshold of the door. To say I am shocked would be an understatement. He have not even spared me a proper glance in the last month and he is here? For what? When I do not say anything, he walked towards me with steady but slow steps. He sat down beside me on the corner of the bed. The room which used to smell of strawberries now smells of grief, sorrow, regrets and alcohol. He planted his hands on the either side of him, on the bed. We sat like that for a few minutes as complete silence engulfed us. "How does it feel?" He was the first one to break the silence with his question that I least expected. I look at him, shocked and confused. He tilted his head to meet my eyes, "Tell me," he insisted. I do not know what

Chapter 126

I feel outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but awful helpless numbness. -Sylvia Plath. |L O R E N Z O|One and half month later.."It's okay, Lorenzo. You can move on now." Her soft whispered called in the room full of darkness and I felt a hand caressing my head, tenderly. "No!" I snapped at the soft voice that can not belong to anyone else except her. "I am sorry." I found myself apologizing to the darkness that tries to swallow me. My eyes ache with the weight of unshed tears that wants to free themselves now. But no tears come out. I do not mourn her. Because mourning her would mean, accepting the reality. The reality where she does not exist. The reality where she is not breathing and it is all my fault. Call me stupid or psycho or anything but I am not ready to let go off the scraps that I get from her in my nightmares. I do not dare to let tears fall down, I do not blink afraid that it might break the dam and I would

Chapter 127

There are far too many silent sufferers. Not because they do not yearn to reach out, but because they have tried and found no one who cares. -Richelle E. Goodrich. |L O R E N Z O|"The shipments were recieved yesterday night." Lucas informed me as I checked the payment papers of it. I nod at him before lifting my head as I asked him, "Is he here yet?" Lucas pressed his lips in a thin line as he shook his head.I signed and went back to the piles of papers. It is easier to exhausted myself with these papers than sitting with a free mind which is actually never free. Lucas walked out of the room without any other word. The phone on my table rang and I checked the called id. Nicolas. I heaved a sigh before picking his call. "Hello, Enzo?" Was how he greeted me with a sadness in his voice. "Yea," I responded to let him know about my presence on the other side of the phone. "How are you doing?" He questioned and it just hurts to think about the amount

Chapter 128

All my grief says the same thing : this is not how it is supposed to be. this is not how it is supposed to be, and the world laughs, holds my hope by the throat and says :But this is how it is. -Fortesa Latifi. |L O R E N Z O|I am driving, on my way to Nicolas' house for the dinner he took my promise for, without me promising him. The man is too fucking stubborn to take no for an answer. I tell myself that I am only going because I want to see Elena and not because every fucking nerve in my head is ready to burst and I need my family around me. I need my brother with me. I had die before admitting that. The sky above me is gray with a very few stars twinkling, indicating the evening. The cold breeze hit my face like a fresh but fast wave and I tried not to shut my eyes to prevent any sort of accident. The drive the way from my mansion to his penthouse was calm, no music, no person to share thoughts with. Just my mind trying to escape it'

Chapter 129

You were unsure which pain is worse - the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will. -Simon Van Booy. |L O R E N Z O|"Oh, my baby." My mom rubbed my back soothingly as I wrapped my arms around her fragile figure and buried my face in her shoulder. I tried not to break out there and then. I felt my father patting my shoulder. But I kept my mother close and hugged her for as long I could. She held me in her arms until I, myself, let go of her. "What are you doing here?" I asked with narrowed eyes and excitement in my voice. "We heard our one product was not working well." My father said, jokingly. And yes the old man calls his children, products. My mother hit him lightly on his shoulder causing a smile at my lips. "Okay guys time for some food." Zyra announced with Elena in her arms. Everyone quickly scurried towards the dinning table leaving me and mom behind. Mom brushed a few locks of hairs away from my head and looked at me,
