Toxic Love Chapter 24
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.
Toxic Love Chapter 26
I clasped my hands over my chest as I stared at the closed door. The way Lorenzo said it felt like a curse that gave me chills down my spine. Shaking my head, I headed to the kitchen and drank a glass of water to calm my nerves.Why am I nervous? Lorenzo was not a man of his words and he probably only said it to threaten me. After taking a long bath, I decided to get my breakfast outside. However, as I just stepped out of my suite, I saw Damien walking to my direction with a big and bright smile.“Good morning, Miss Brianna,” he greeted enthusiastically as he hastened his pace. “I was just about to ask for your breakfast” Instantly, my brows knitted together, “May I know why?” “Mr. Rodriguez wants to treat you to a breakfast of your choice..” he answered while grinning boyishly. I folded my arms across my chest and stared at him lazily, “Did you tell him what I said last night?” I queried. The grin plastered on Damien’s face faltered, but he quickly changed his expression as he
Toxic Love Chapter 27
I rushed towards the elevator and wasn't surprised to see that Lorenzo followed suit. His aura was domineering as he stood beside me. Unconsciously, I stepped on the side and kept a good distance, but he had seen it through and immediately followed me like a magnet. “Lorenzo,” I warned without looking at him. “Yes, babe?” My forehead creased as I held my bag tightly, “Give me some space” It was not a request but an order. Gladly, he understood and unexpectedly took a step aside without any objections. However, the distance he left between us was just a tiny space that only a finger could fit in. I shook my head. Well, it's better. At least our skins weren't touching. My eyes remained straight and not even once I glanced on my side. Although I could feel Lorenzo's intense gaze darted at me, I deliberately ignored him and pretended he wasn't existing at all. I don't want to be bothered by him. In fact, if I could only teleport, I would just do that so I won't endure staying w
Toxic Love Chapter 28
Lorenzo was stuck with me after we ate breakfast. He insisted on taking me around which I couldn't decline since I didn't want to go back to the hotel and be pestered by Damien. I clicked my tongue. I don't know why I am so unlucky. Even if I was able to avoid Lorenzo and he didn't find me here, I still have no escape being pestered by his kind. I shook my head. “We’ll go shopping for your clothes first,” Lorenzo instructed as he tried to plan for our itinerary. “I’m done shopping,” I replied rather quickly.“It’s on me”I rolled my eyes, “So? If I want something, I will buy it with my own money” I heard the chauffeur clear his throat but either of us paid him attention.“What do you want to do then?” Lorenzo asked dotingly. I raised an eyebrow as the corner of my lips lifted, “I want to be alone” He didn't reply and just stared at me darkly. I didn't back down and stared back at him. Although my heart was thumping loudly as I looked straight into his eyes, I was determined t

“You’re rude,” I commented the moment the elevator closed. Lorenzo's brows arched as he stared darkly at me, “So? That guy is taking advantage of you. We should check out immediately and find a good hotel tomorrow” Pursing my lips, I threw a glare at him, “If you want to change hotels, go ahead. No one is stopping you. But you can't order me around. I like it here” “What’s good in here? Aside from having a pretentious CEO, the services are average,” he said full of disdain. I didn't respond because I know if I tell him that I like it here only because he can't join me in one presidential suite, he will do everything to drag me out of this hotel. He clicked his tongue when I turned silent. Eventually, he let out a sigh, “We’ll stay here, if that's what you want. I would never leave your side. However, if Rodriguez tries to touch you once again, I won't think twice to forcefully drag you out of her,” he stated firmly. I snorted but didn't say anything anymore. Meanwhile, I felt
Toxic Love Chapter 30
I looked at my reflection in the mirror and was never shocked to see my puffy eyes. I cried the whole night. Regretting my hasty action, I cried for the loss of the last memorabilia of our love that's left on me. Never did I imagine I would grieve for some small thing that is usually just as insignificant for other people. But that's not the case for me. The folder that contains our pictures, however, was important to me. It was more like a treasure that I had been keeping for eight years and has a very sentimental value for me. It was the memory of my youth, of my happy days. Moreso, it was the only thing that reminded me that once upon a time, Lorenzo was in love with me.I sighed. It's a waste of time and energy to cry over the things that's already lost. Maybe it happened so that I can move on completely. I took a quick shower and went out to get some coffee and unwind. I put on light makeup and wore huge sunglasses to cover my puffy eyes. And just as I was about to open the
Toxic Love Chapter 31
“I-im s-sorry!” said the woman.My brows furrowed upon seeing her. I remembered she was the same woman in the elevator last night. Folding my hands, I watched as Lorenzo helped her stand up because she ‘accidentally’ fell on the ground. “Sorry..” Lorenzo muttered. I grinned bitterly as I watched the woman blushed in an instant. She kept on apologizing and said that she will order us another coffee since it spilled on the ground. “No, it's fine. I'll just buy again” “Please..”As they fought over buying coffee, my eyes landed on her hands holding tightly on Lorenzo's forearms. My eyebrows twitched as my gaze went back at her face and saw her looking up at him with pleading eyes. How pitiful. “Miss Grace!” The female staff ran to the woman with a big smile, “You're early today. Fortunately, Sir Lorenzo is still here!” she chortled. The woman lowered her head as her face turned crimson red. I rolled my eyes as I realized they were just wasting my time. I was about to leave but my
