Lorenzo's POV
Fuck!
I wish there was another way of letting her know that I am the one she has been looking for without having to hurt her.
Watching her in a confused state while heading to the lady's room broke my heart and I would have followed her instantly if not that I have been informed that Dmitri was alone by himself at the other side of the hall.
I hurried through the crowd after telling some of my guards to keep an eye on the lookout for Nadia.
Hopefully, I can get Dmitri to confuse his crime to prove to Nadia that I am not the enemy she has been looking for.
That in fact, is the one she calls family that has brought her so much pain and is willing to do more.
“Excuse me,” I said after intentionally bumping into him in the hallway.
That was just a way of placing a mini microchip on him, it's very small that it can be very difficult to without.
But strong enough to send voice signals and
Nadia's POV "What should we do to get rid of her?" I heard my uncle say. I couldn't place the voice of the other people he was discussing with within his office, and my curiosity got the better part of me. Like who is the she that they are planning to get rid of? I woke up this morning feeling sad, restless and depressed, it has been over two weeks since I got back from New York with my uncle. I have been keeping to myself since, I have been too embarrassed to face my uncle or any of the other guys, I cant' believe I was sleeping with the monster who ordered the killing of my entire family, I will never forgive myself until I kill him. I have sort of noticed that the way things are run here has changed since I came back. most of the guys have been avoiding me like plaque and a few that are willing to chat with me seem to get uncomfortable as soon as they see my uncle step in. Trying to forget the feelings I had for Lore
Nadia's POV After my uncle had left my room, I sat down on my bed feeling so lonely and scared, yes I was scared. How can the only family member I have left in this world want me dead? I have always found strength in the fact that though my parents were no more, I still had an uncle who cared for me but never did I for once imagine that my greatest source of strength was also the reason I became weak. My tummy grumbling in hunger, but I was too scared to step out from the four corners of my room. what if they decide to poison my food. I will rather stay hungry than eat anything from this place I use to call home. I was angry and if not that I know he's heavily protected by his men, nothing at this moment is stopping me from going over to where he is and shoot his motherfucking brains out. I cracked my knuckles and went over to where I usually keep my weapons, picking my favorite jackknife, I fantasied about how gre
Nadia's POVI arrived late to the hotel, where the art auction is taking place, my evil scheming uncle had rented a cab to drop me off, the reason being that he does not want Lorenzo to become suspicious of the fact that he sent me there.The hotel is five-star and located close to the beach, as soon as I arrived I was told that the event has been rescheduled to hold on a different date that would be conveyed to me soon.Something about the whole arrangement has never felt right to me, and more disappointing is the fact that this new occurrence might mean that I will not be able to see Lorenzo anytime soon, but a part of me was glad that I am not anywhere close to my uncle house.I will rather live in a desert than share the same roof
Nadia's POVI woke the next day tired and hungry, I felt like I worked throughout the night when in reality I did nothing.If anything, I slept through the night like a baby.It is not uncommon with me these days to just walk up and be feeling tired and just wanting to just lazy around.I even tried doing my push-ups, I had to struggle to be able to count to twenty.I guess the whole incident of my uncle's betrayal is having more impact on me than I anticipated.I was about to enter the bathroom when the doorbell rang and that sort of startled me. I waited to see if it will ring again, and after some seconds it rang again.I went to pick up my gun from where I had hidden it."who the fuck is that?" I asked pointing both hands at the door with my handgun fisted within my fingers.I was not expecting anyone so nothing is stopping me from killing any intruders, I told myself while taking in quick breaths to calm
Lorenzo POVWhat happened? That was the only question on my mind as I walked aimlessly around the private ward that Nadia was admitted in.I ran my hand over my head countless times, out of frustration, anger, and misery.I was holding myself from asking all the questions in my mind, he too needs time to figure it all out.But, every second felt like a million years, I was getting impatient with the doctor who seem to be taking all the time in the world.My presence in the room as having a not-so-good effect on the young doctor, I could see his fingers fidget as he wrote on his pad and constantly avoiding my gaze.He came highly recommended, let's just hope for his sake, he knows he is doing.I was mad, I felt like punching or breaking something, I was so anxious to know what happened to her.Just then, I f
Nadia's POV After scarlet had left, I was left all alone, bothering about what could have happened between Lorenzo and me back at the hotel and why I was yet to see him. Is he alright? I don't know why and how I got here, I only wish this moment that someone could tell me what the fuck was going on. I deliberately avoided discussing Lorenzo with scarlet so as not to get her into any trouble, and was hoping that he would have shown up by now. Just then, I saw the door opened and a doctor walked in wearing a friendly smile. “How are you, ma'am?” he asked as he walked over to my bedside looking at the tab he was holding. “I'm fine, at least I feel fine, I said to the doctor who was busy checking my eyes heartbeat, and another checkup routine, when he was done, he started tapping away on the tab he was holding. “can you please tell me why I was brought here and why I have all these things fixed on me?" I q
Lorenzo POVI was going to take her back to the camp but changed my mind at the last minute to take her for a ride. We both needed the open space to clear our thoughts, the ride was very quiet, and the times I stole glances at Nadia, she looked so lost in thought.After driving for about forty-five minutes I pulled into my property, it is two thousand acres of farmland the major crop grown on the farm is grapes and apples, which when harvested, can be used for juice and wine.We have a wine brand that uses most of the produce, only a small portion is sold to outsiders.Only a handful of people can link this property to me as I don't have direct dealings with anyone, only my lawyer is responsible for all that goes on in here.I stopped the car and came down after which I brought out a pack of cigarettes from my jacket and lighted a stick.I rested my back on the car as I took long sips from the stick in my hand.
Nadia's POV“So I guess you had a good intuition since this was the first place you were so curious to know about," Lorenzo said as he opened the door that had the number thirteen boldly written on it.This was the same room, I was curious about when I first came here, but at that time, it was just a plain white room.He switched on the light and the room appeared to be the same, that was until he pushed another button on the wall.The wall split open and was surprised to see that there was an office space beyond the wall.“This is my office, my real office I mean,” he said as he walked through the split walls.Immediately we entered the office the wall closed back enclosing us in the office.The office was looking every shade of class and sophistication. The wall was painted black and had most of its furniture and artworks were in a simi
