Lorenzo's POV “Just keep me updated, also make sure Trisha doesn't hurt a strand out of her hair. Do everything within your power to make sure of that" I dished out instructions at Tessa, before slipping the phone back into my pocket. That was her duties, and I wasn't supposed to be reminding her of it, but this was Daphne. I wasn't certain what length Trisha could go, but I wouldn't allow any single one of them. “Father…are we close?” Avery's voice filled my thoughts as I eased my way to my father's estate. The gray mansion in view, its elongated points and Jalousie windows reminded me of how much I detested coming here. My hands patted her hair as I answered. “We should be getting off soon” Drago had threatened hell and brimstone at Daphne. He had promised to fish her out and hurt her if I didn't show up just to give an explanation of my attitude last night. He had always wanted grandkids and seeing mine will surely give Daphne a soft spot in his rugged heart, that was what I
Daphne's POV I knew pacing up and down wasn't going to help, but I just couldn't help it. Lorenzo wasn't picking up, a palm leaned against my forehead as I wondered where exactly I was going to start off from, when the door clicked, my head swirled around, a breath of air leaving my nostrils when they came into view. Lorenzo and my kids. My eyes ran to the kids who looked perfectly fine to me, but kept looking up to Lorenzo at intervals. With hands on my waist, I inquired. “Where have you guys been?” My eyes moved from Lorenzo to Avery and Alexis who were looking everywhere except for me. “ I am waiting” I squinted further when I didn't get any response from either of them. “Come with me” I let him tug me away while mentioning to the housekeeper to look after the kids while we were away.“ Now, are you going to tell me where exactly you were with my kids? I came home early, to spend the evening with you, you promised me a dinner date, remember? So where exactly were you?” I cou
Daphne's POV I couldn't count the number of times my stomach churned, nor Irene's words to me as she promised to place a call through to Lorenzo and that I was going to be fine. My head swam with muddled thoughts, and with clambered steps, I walked down the endless steep of stairs to a black Cadillac which I didn't know what my fate would be. The stern-faced man holding the door shut it closed after making sure that I was fine inside before driving off.My palm got sweaty, and my throat parched as I thought of how I had missed the chance to inform Lorenzo. “ But you hadn't,” a tiny voice whispered to me. “ And now, you will be turned into chunks” I swallowed, gulping down the dread that filled my head when the car drove into the familiar building, its high windows came into view and I fisted my palm. It was now and never.“ Get down” the tone wasn't one that told me I had a choice. I had to do what they told me without disputing his words. I sauntered behind the stern-faced man,
Lorenzo's POV All of her explanations weren't convincing, and I still couldn't fathom how her reasons made sense. “You took the cheque? Why? Why would you do that? Are you planning to run away with the kids? When no one is watching? I asked in doubt. Everything was spiraling out and it didn't make sense. She wanted to leave me.“ I will cancel the engagement with Trisha. I would do all of that for you, so why…why would you do so?” To love someone this way was maddening, but I didn't care because it was Daphne. She was worth it all…worth all the trouble I was going to go through.“ Lorenzo…” her hands patted the side of my face. My head a racking mess, as different thoughts swam through it. “ I am not going to leave you. Why will I care for something this fickle when I have the whole cash with me? I mean, having you is enough, and you should know that”I didn't mind the fact that she was going to stay with me just for money, she might not love me, but she will surely come to love
Lorenzo's POV My eyes settled on Daphne who reclined against the couch, her eyes sparkled in a way that I couldn't just help but to let out a smile. “ Thank you” she let out when the thud of the door rocked the room, announcing Trisha's departure. I bobbed, before staring elsewhere, that should keep her off for a bit, but that doesn't mean Trisha would just let go like that. I knew her so well, just like I knew the back of my palm and I could tell that she was going to retaliate. Someway or the other. That growing ache in my chest consumed me, spilling away as I tried to think of something, anything that could help the situation I found myself in. “ Are you okay?” Daphne’s voice rocked through my thoughts, flipping me out of it. “ I am …” I let out a gasp. “ I am fine. I have you here by my side” my hands smoothed her curves, trailing on it with a smile igniting my face. The company stock plummeted by each second that passed. I was so damn sure the public would have carried th
Daphne's POV My finger stroke the frames leaning against the wall, the chandelier lit above my head. Twirling around, I spun around, staring at the mirror in front of me with a gentle tug in my heart when my phone dinged. My eyes swept to it as I recalled not keeping Irene abreast with the situation. She must be worried sick right about now. My fingers ran across my cellphone as I placed a call to her. She picked up on the first ring, letting out a rasp breath out as she muttered. “ Daphne, are you okay? What happened? I was able to place a call to Lorenzo, but it bounced back to his office. Did Drago hurt you?” She rambled out. Letting out a chuckle, I explained gently to her, filling her in on every little detail. She let out a low grunt before adding.“ He is so sweet, he loves you” I couldn't help but let out a smile when she complimented Lorenzo. I could say I had banged this one, but it wasn't going to be easy. “He has called off the engagement with Trisha” the paper rattl
Daphne's POV I let him place a hand around my arm as he led me to the couch in the room, leaning me against it. My heart skipped, my boobs were all out and when his finger stroked it, a moan grunted out of my lips. “ Just like this?” I questioned, while staring. He had his sleeves rolled to his elbow, flaunting his veiny arm at me. His lips dipped into dimples at his side as he took large strides toward me, placing me even better against the couch. “This is perfect, butterfly” Lorenzo addressed me as he stepped backward. His finger gripped the brush firmly, the canvas hung on top of an easel as he stroked the brush on it. My juices splurged out of my cunt and when my legs rubbed each other, I let out a hiss. Lorenzo looked focused, and my mind ran back to how most people wanted to have a glance of their partners while at work. He had his lips pursed as his fingers held the brush, running it swiftly. “ Just a moment more and I will be done soon” he halted all of a s
Lorenzo's POV “ We have a date” my hands smoothened out her hair as I whispered to her ear, a smile lighting at the far end of my lips when she threw her gaze at me. She was stark naked, her milky skin glittered against the chandelier that hung above our hairs. We were sprawled on the bed with her legs dropping over my body as my finger ran along her curves, caressing the stretch marks which was so sexy to me. “ Your therapist, we are supposed to meet with her today” she twitched before trying to sit upright, but I held her down. I didn't want her body warmth fleeing when I had barely gotten enough to keep me warm. “ You scheduled an appointment? For me?” She looked startled, her mouth curved into an oh, as she tried to comprehend it. “We actually,” I explained. “ We are going there, you shouldn't be the only one getting therapy, I should be by your side, listening and making sure that you are fine” She sniffed in, before swallowing the word that attempted to come out, her hand
