Toxic Love Chapter 18
I was panting after I closed the door behind me. My heart was constricting as I felt guilty for what I did. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. I locked the door and walked to my bed and slumped my body there. Staring at the ceiling, I sighed again. I didn't know what he was thinking and why he suddenly pretended like a staff member to serve me. Did hw think he could move me with that? I scoffed. If he believed that he could, he didn't really know me then. Because he should know I'm never a sucker of romance. Sitting up, I looked at the door and stared at it. Half expecting that he would follow and knock. However, a minute had passed and the silence of the room remained. I clicked my tongue and stood up. I then looked out the window to see if he was leaving. And I thought I was right. Outside, in front of my lawn, Lorenzo was talking with Silvia before I saw him pushing the trolley towards her. The latter nodded before she left with the trolley while Lorenzo went back insid
Toxic Love Chapter 19
Lorenzo suddenly pulled away, leaving my lips parted as it was already craving for more. “Eat now,” he said in a hoarse voice as he carefully removed his hands off my body. Then I felt him step back before he gently pushed me to the dining table where the food he cooked was placed. I didn't move. I just blankly stared at him in shock and disbelief. Followed by disappointment. Then, my eyes narrowed as I realized what he had just done. He was playing with me! I can't believe I fell for it! When will I ever learn?!Quickly, I averted my gaze and glared at nothing in particular. ‘Jerk!’ I hissed inwardly. I rolled my eyes as I stomped my feet marching towards the dining table and unceremoniously slumped my body on the chair he pulled for me. I then harshly grabbed the fork that was sitting on the table and angrily stabbed the steak then took a big bite. I didn't care if Lorenzo was watching. I was not in the mood and I wanted to take my anger out on it. “Chew it well,” he reminded
Toxic Love Chapter 20
I stayed in my room all day and didn't step out of it for lunch and dinner. Fortunately, Lorenzo didn't follow me and probably left after I ran away. Pursing my lips, I stared at the ceiling. I couldn't figure that man up. I don't understand why he didn't want to break up with me when all he did was banging every woman he met in all the places he went. Did he actually want me to suffer? I heaved an exasperated sigh. I shouldn't have left the country if I knew I won't be able to actually enjoy my vacation. It seemed like staying here was actually more stressful than when I was in California, working and socializing. My thoughts halted when suddenly I heard a knock from the door. My head immediately shifted to it as my heart pounded loudly thinking it was Lorenzo. I wanted to scream at the thought but stopped myself when I heard a woman's voice. “Ma'am, I brought you your dinner. Please come out and eat,” said the woman in a very soft tone. It was Silvia.Sighing, I finally stoo

Lorenzo winked at me. I rolled my eyes and quickly averted my gaze. I felt him sitting beside me and fixed the blanket loosely hanging on my shoulder. “Why didn't you wear a jacket? You're going to catch a cold..” he said, wrapping it around my body. I let out a sigh as I immediately felt the warmth. But I did respond to him and just looked straight ahead as if it was more interesting than him. “Silvia said you only ate a few..” My lips instantly pursed. “I had to do something earlier,” he added. I shook my head in disappointment as I knew he already got the trust of all the people here. It was just one of his amazing skills that my father admired. Lorenzo can melt everyone's heart even the most grumpy and hateful person on earth. And there's no doubt all the staffs here are already close to him like their best friends for years. “You should've just stayed wherever you went,” I finally said. Lorenzo chuckled, “I can't. You'll be lonely here” I looked at him, deadpan, “You kn
Toxic Love Chapter 22
I let out a sigh of relief when Lorenzo silently left my room. Although I immediately felt guilty, I'm more relieved that he was no longer near me because I might suddenly burst out and say something I will regret after. I sat up on my bed and quickly grabbed my phone. Dialing, Hans, I finally decided to just leave this place right now before I lose my sh*t together. “Hello?”“Book me a flight to Dubai,” I said straight away. There was a long pause from the other line and I'm pretty sure he was waiting for me to explain why I suddenly wanted to go to another place when I had intended to stay here as long as I can. However, I didn't want to explain anything to him, so he let out a sigh. “Okay. Anything else?” I looked at the door and pursed my lips. I know it would be futile but I still wanted to keep Lorenzo away from me as much as I could. “I don't want anyone else to know where I am going..” “Lorenzo is there?” I nodded although I knew he couldn't see me. “As always,” I said
Toxic Love Chapter 23
“Why did you leave?” Lorenzo asked in a very low voice. His gaze was intense as his blue eyes turned deep like an ocean that was piercing through me. I already expected it, but still, I couldn't help but be surprised. And in this case, I know there's no place I can hide from him anymore. I pursed my lips as I tried to avert my gaze, “Isn't it obvious that I don't want you around?” I retaliated. “Why are you here?” “To get you,” he replied in a heartbeat. My lips parted but I quickly closed it tightly. My heart immediately reacted but I tried to dismiss it right away. I had no time to feel anything other than anger towards him. Shaking my head, I responded, “Can you please stop lying?” I snarled as I narrowed my eyes on him. Lorenzo caught my gaze. His blue eyes turned darker and his jaw clenched as he stared back at me. “I'm not lying, babe. I'm really here to get you..” he said in his deep and firm voice. I clutched the handles of the paper bags tightly as I looked away. I

I tried to open it again, but the chauffeur was too fast, he's already settled in the driver's seat and quickly locked the car. And in just a second, we're already hitting the mainroad. I could only watch Lorenzo's image getting smaller outside the window. I let out an exasperated sigh, but then I realized it was actually better than having him join me here going back to my hotel. I'm not sure if he knew my hotel room. Because if he did, that only means his connections were really something. I quickly straightened on my seat when the car stopped and saw that we're already in front of the hotel. I didn't wait for the chauffeur to open the door for me, so I hastily stepped out of the car right away. I heard a loud sigh of protest from the chauffeur, but I just completely ignored him. I crossed my arms as I waited for him to take all my stuff from the compartment without saying a word. He silently took the paper bags out and was about to go inside the hotel when I immediately stop
Toxic Love Chapter 25
“Good evening, Miss Brianna,” he greeted with a toothy smile. “I just forgot to give you this,” he said, then lifted up the red wine on his right hand. My brows furrowed as I stared at it. It's my favorite wine, but I certainly am not gonna drink that. “Why are you giving me that?” I queried. His eyes widened a little, but he quickly recovered and lifted the corner of his mouth, “Ah, no. I mean Mr. Rodriguez forgot to give you this,” he corrected then chuckled. I stared at him cautiously. I had a feeling that he was lying. However, I didn't voice out my skepticism only because I didn't want to make this conversation long. Nodding my head, I said straightforwardly, “Please tell Mr. Rodriguez that he didn't have to give me all these. I'm only accepting it now out of politeness, but I won't appreciate it next time” Damien looked taken aback at what I had said. He probably didn't expect me to say it, but I'm not someone who pretends that I like those things for I know it won't end.
