Mia’s pov After the heads up Lorenzo had been considerate enough to give me, the little bravado that I had managed to muster, completely crumbled at once. I bit on my bottom lip while glancing around. Lorenzo was still situated beside him, a glass of untouched drink in his hand while his second one was still firmly pressing into the curve of my hips like a searing iron. I puffed out a small breath and tried to get my bearings together. A few stutters kept going on around me, which is indication enough that our pictures are being taken at different intervals by the press, and I’m sure Lorenzo wouldn’t be pleased one bit should I appear anything but confident and in my element, in the pictures.As I worried my lips once again, I wondered which unfortunate person– or people is going to be Lorenzo’s prey tonight. Someone walked up to Lorenzo and whispered something into his ear, in which he gruffed at before giving a tense nod of his head right before the person disappeared into
Mia’s pov Lorenzo tugged the dude who had been trembling in his seat in front of us and asked that he say his last words, right before he shot him at the side of his throat. At this point, everything had scattered completely and blood was splattered on the front of Lorenzo’s white undershirt. At that point, he had already killed over five people, and I could barely suck in a deep breath without trembling in fear while still curled in my seat and taking everything in all at once with wide eyes.I had almost gotten shot at once by a dude who began to shoot back at me, but Lorenzo hurled me out of the chair and pinned me against his side as he emptied his gun in the person’s chest, grip tight around me. “Get my other gun out from underneath my shirt, the left part.” He ordered urgently as he moved us sideways and shot at a dude that was about to reach for his gun which had fallen from his hand after Lorenzo had shot it. My entire body was trembling in fright and my head felt woozy fro
Lorenzo’s pov “Now, get out.”I wasn’t surprised when she jolted, having been clearly lost in her thoughts a few moments ago. She turned around in her seat and blinked a couple of times.“What?” She whispered and for the life of me, I couldn’t help but think about leaning towards her and slotting my lips with hers.“We’ve arrived, so off you go. I have somewhere important to be at.” Her eyes darted everywhere for a moment as realization dawned on her, and then she mumbled an inaudible ‘oh’ as she proceeded to unbuckle her seat belt. “Uh, thanks for the phone, I guess?” She said next, voice unsure and when I kept staring at her without saying a thing, she gave a few nods of her head while audibly berating herself over slipping once again and thanking me when I had informed her about not liking it over breakfast, yesterday’s morning.She pushed the door open and closed it a fleeting moment, and then she began to walk towards the house without a backward glance. Of course, my eyes da
Lorenzo‘s pov At first, I hadn’t realized it was in that direction that I was driving in, until I was almost there, was when it dawned on me that I had began to drive towards there without even realizing it.As I exited the meeting office, a lot of thoughts filled up my head at once, and even though I hated to admit it, I had actually taken what Drake had said to heart a little. When he had said people might see me as weak for not killing her yet.I knew it was fruitless for ne to attempt considering killing her niw, cause deep down, I knew I won’t end up doing it. Thinking about her large green eyes blinking up at me right now was enough to remind me that there was no way in hell I’d be able to actually kill her.So many thoughts ran through my mind as I left the building in my car, and as soon as I began to drive, I hadn’t realized where I was heading to, until a few minutes ago.I was driving towards my childhood home.The house where I had grew up in. The home where I had
Lorenzo’s pov “Bella?” I called out in nothing but surprise as I watched the brunette whom I haven’t set my eyes on in months, saunter her way towards me to plop into the spot in front of me.“Enzo! You look surprised to see me.” She said with a giggle and I almost let out a grimace at how the sound grated on my nerves. I had been in so much thought before she arrived, and that said thought was about none other than Mia.After I exited Alex‘s place, I got a few things done and even attended a quick meeting. I had just rounded the meeting up about a few minutes ago before Bella has reappeared unannounced.“Of course, I am. You suddenly disappeared.”She giggled once again, hand moving up to twirl a strand of her hair as she blinked her eyes at me a couple of times before speaking. “So you did miss me enough to notice my absence.”I almost snorted at her absurdity because frankly, I hadn’t thought about her for once since the moment she suddenly disappeared, but I decided to keep
Lorenzo’s pov The scene I walked into on getting home, was so unexpected, it made me come to a standstill at once. It was a scene of Mia, kneeling on one of the couches beside the window. She was looking out of it and singing a song while filled up the entire room. It was a familiar song that forced out some of the memories which I had shut down so many years ago. Her voice sounded like that of a siren, beautiful, melodic and oh so soothing.She didn’t know she wasn’t alone, because she kept on swaying from side to side as each verse rolled off her tongue. I leaned my head against the doorframe and let out a low curse. The fact that I had hoped to have fucked her out of my system a few hours ago, only for me to arrive here to an image like this which has only made me to once again be thinking of her over and over again.She was singing a familiar song which my mother used to sing to me when I had been young. The song was in Italian, a language which I had no idea she was flue
Lorenzo’s pov The shock which had filled up Mia’s eyes moments after I had leaned over her on the couch, was quick to morph into fear right after I had dared her to repeat what she had previously said. Although, that only lasted for about a minute, because right after that, defiance slowly filled her eyes which was still locked with mine.“What’s wrong? Cat’s got your tongue? All I asked was for you to repeat what you previously said.” I drawled out while watching as she averted her gaze to gulp emptily, and when she locked eyes with mine once again, the deviance was back in it.And she was still yet to get a word out, which was starting to irritate me.“You’re yet to repeat what you previously said. Or, are you ready to sing like I asked you to?” I continued. She stared into my eyes as she responded in a low but defiance filled voice. “No, I refuse to.”That prompted a chuckle out of me, because she was being really amusing right now. “Are you joking right now? Because thi
Mia’s pov A startled gasp tore past my lips as I blinked at the throw pillows on the couch in shock while my brain reeled from what had just happened right now.Lorenzo had… spanked me.He actually spanked me. At once, I began to struggle but Lorenzo’s grip was firm, forcing me to hiss out a breath in annoyance and disbelief.Why is he doing this? Since when did this become normal? Lorenzo only snickered as I tugged my arms backwards and before I could get more than a startled sound, a warm material was being wrapped around my wrist, and a glance at it showed that it was Lorenzo’s tie which had been hanging loosely around his neck moments ago.“Just what are you doing?” I demanded while trying to get out of his hold, but his grip didn’t loosen for a second, causing me to huff out an irritated sound.“What does it seem like I’m doing?” Came his response, low and mocking as the sound of him clicking his tongue against his teeth fill up the room. “You can’t be serious right now, speak
