Mafia Men II: Lorenzo's Gilded Cage Chapter Seventy
♕—Delilah Lorenzo looked up at the sky, "I don't think I can be your friend, Delilah..." "Why?" He shook his head, "Because I can't..."I frowned, "Why not?" He sighed, "Because what I feel for you is stronger than friendship..." I observed him, his shoulders drooping and his gaze imploringly seeking me out, I was shocked to think that Lorenzo could be as confined as me. Could it be that he was unable to find an escape route? Could it be that, while I desperately tried to free myself, he was struggling to hold on to me because he was desperate for my presence? Suddenly, it dawned on me that maybe the one who was really captive was the one who was in the chains all along.My mind was completely taken aback. For the first time, I was able to truly comprehend the magnitude of his flaws, something I had previously swept aside. It was as if I had been struck with a sudden epiphany, and I gazed in awe at him.Lorenzo couldn't be serious - did he really just accept that he had deeper fe

♕—Delilah I shut my eyes tight, trying to stifle the tenth wave of tears that had taken over me today. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Lorenzo had confessed his feeling for me last night. What was he trying to do? How did it get so messed up? I have been in a state of internal conflict over the range of emotions I have experienced in the past week. Lorenzo Vitelli told me he loved me, he really did say that. Was he even capable of love? Did he even know what it meant? Did he even understand the true meaning of these seemingly simple three words?A day before he was telling his boss to get me out of his house—as if he couldn't bear to stay in the same space as me—and the very next day, he said that he loved me.I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. My hand dropped back to my sides and I gripped the edge of the bed, clutching it as if my life depends on it. Lorenzo didn't come to bed last night, he must have slept in his study like he does whenever he is upse

♕—Delilah In the evening, Lorenzo left leaving me alone in the house. Reyna and Giulia left after doing all their chores.I walked around the house, I was afraid to go outside. The men that were patrolling the mansion weren't very nice. I could see it in their lecherous gaze, the darkness exuding off their bodies. They were the Made men of the Cosa Nostra, I had gotten lucky that I had Lorenzo, I know how bad it could be for me if some other men had gotten me. My mind fixated on Jack and an overwhelming sense of guilt washed over me. I wondered how he was faring these past few months. I had made a vow to never be with another man but him, and yet that was exactly what I did. The first time with Alexander, it wasn't my choice, but the second time, there was no one else to blame but myself, what I did with Lorenzo was on me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the thought of what I had done – pushing Jack out of my mind and my heart to make space for Lorenzo. Images of Jack,

♕—Delilah I wiped my tears and stepped back, my arms dropped off from the mantel, and my chin trembled as I gazed at the beautiful portrait once more, "What am I even feeling anymore? I have no idea..."I gave the woman in the portrait one last soft smile and then turned. I made sure to put everything exactly where it was. I made my way out of his study and closed the door on my way out.I don't know why I felt a little lighter although I was just talking to a portrait. Maybe, saying what I was feeling out loud helped. I exhaled loudly and turned on the TV, putting on music, I softly danced around the place. I know full well what the future holds for me - Alexander's torment and my untimely demise. I could have stayed here in Lorenzo's warm embrace, and he would no doubt do anything to protect me, but I refuse to bring him the same hardships I already have.He is trying everything to get back to his family. He wanted them back and if I chose to stay here, it would mean they'd never

♕—Delilah Lorenzo came out of the kitchen and went back into the bedroom, my eyes followed where he went and then he reemerged with his laptop and sat down on his armchair. I could clearly see his frustration.I stared at him, I could easily make out his annoyance. He groaned with a heavy sigh. He flung the folder onto the coffee table as well and put his legs up on it. With another exasperated sigh, he extended his tall frame, seemingly as if he was in pain. My heart filled with a deep worry as I hastily stood up and quickly rushed to his side. "Are you okay?" I asked, looking down at him with a frown. He looked up at me momentarily before snapping his attention back to his laptop. He shifted in his place, I could see how he was trying hard to suppress the pain he was in but I had no idea of the source of it. I was anxious and curious about what he was intending; should I stay or go? However, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. Lorenzo seemed to be more open than usual. If I stay

♞—Lorenzo She ran... She ran as soon as I told her that I love her. I laughed to myself, what the fuck was I thinking? Did I really fucking think that someone like me could be with someone like her? Did I fucking think that I could have someone in my life that'd be mine? Just fucking mine? She'd never love someone like me when she was already in love with someone—that stable boy of hers. It's good that she rejected me, she rejected my love, my care, and my need to be with her. It's good, it's better this way. Because if she had accepted my love, that would be another fucking story.

♞—Lorenzo Niko stood in the doorway, his eyes narrowed menacingly at the scene before him before they settled on me. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "I need to talk to you," I declared. Niko's eyes flicked between the bloodied finger of his other soldier and then on me before a twisted smirk formed over his face. "Go to Dr. Raymond, he will attach your finger back," he ordered the soldier keeping his enraged eyes on me before he turned and walked back to his desk, leaving the door open. I stepped into the room, quickly tucking my bloodstained knife away in my pocket. I slammed the door shut firmly, and squared up to him as he slowly sank into his chair behind the desk. "What do you want?" "I'm your enforcer, Niko," I stated. "Are you? Are you sure it's where your loyalties lie?" "My loyalty has always been with you." He acted so entertained, yet I was aware of the fury that was brewing just beneath the surface of his phony mirth. "Where was your loyalty when you fucked

♞—Lorenzo Reyna's presence had vexed her, I could read it all over her face, I could read it in her body language but I didn't care because she won't be here for long. Reyna and Giulia were there to clean the house, cook, and do what they did when Delilah wasn't here. She was never here... She kept staring at me, I could feel her eyes on me where I went. I don't know what more she could want or need from me. I did everything I can to save her from Alexander's hands—that's all she wanted, right? She will go back to her lover. She will be fine and happy. I will go back to being who I was before I met her. Lorenzo Vitelli—the Enforcer of the Cosa Nostra, the monster, a fucking killing machine, and nothing else. She's not here. Delilah is not here. She was never here. I made my way out of the house and got into my car. Niko had called me this morning, telling me to be at the club. I drove swiftly to it, got out of my car, and rushed inside.They were in the meeting room, Scott, M
