Chapter 25 ( finale )

Lana's pov

I knew the minute Lorenzo walked out of the door, he'd kill my father.

The killer of as many people as I would have imagined.

My own mother,my grandma, Lorenzo's father, and his men..families have been abandoned because of him..sold both of his own daughters to Mafia bosses, all for his own sake, all for his own filthy bank account.

He deserved every inch of it. My anger towards him will forever be within me, even after Lorenzo shot him.

I can't, in a million years, forgive him.

My hatred for him penetrated every vein.

Every heartbeat I take I loathe the minutes I have spent with him, completely blind to his own disgusting truth.

Freya has been very gentle with me the whole time we have been hearing bullets going back and forth in the distressful phase I have been in.

All I could ever think about was Lorenzo.

I won't forgive myself if anything happened to him,

I never wanted to admit it, even to myself.

But now, I love him, too.

I didn't say it back, I don't plan on it.

I am trying as much as possible not give anyone my full trust. I can't tolerate another disappointment.

Yet, here I am.

Loving how my heart flutters when he looks at me, when he kisses me, when he speaks to me.

How I can feel his gaze on me whenever I look away.

How he holds me, defends me, protects me.

How he does whatever it takes to please me.

How I don't feel lonely anymore.

Either him talking to me, or keeps distance for silence, his presence is enough to contain me.

I love him.

After nearly an hour of holding my breathe in worries, the peeping sound of the door caught both of me and Freya's attention in a sudden, I ran towards him once I saw his face, I jumped to his shoulder with my arms wrapped tightly around his neck, He hugged me back with only an arm, then and only then I sensed a warm fluid on my arm, I panicked..I screamed, I couldn't believe his multiple reassuring phrases that he's fine.

My nerves kept me on my toes for as long as the doctor removed the bullet and stitched his wound, gave him a sleeping pill to help him sleep.

I spent the whole night wide awake next to him, until I heard a soft knock on my door at 3 am, I got up, put my night robe on, opened the door.

It was Freya.

- What's wrong ?

-Nothing ma'am, your sister is on the phone.

My face lightened as I hurried to Lorenzo's office,

Sighed in relief once I heard Aria's voice,

-Hey, baby. I missed you so much, are you okay ? Are you eating well ? Is Mattia treating you fine ?

Oh my god it's so good to hear your voice.

I heard her chuckle lightly as she said in a low tone,

- hey hey, relax. I am okay, everything is fine. Greece is beautiful, how come we didn't go there before ?

You're totally missing out. I just called to check up on you, I heard Mattia talking on the phone in his office to your doctor, he was upset and worried about Lorenzo but I couldn't figure why. So, I had to call you..what happened ?

- Lorenzo got shot, today..umm..

- what ?? Is he okay now ?

- Yeah yeah, he's fine thank god.

-Are you okay ?

-Totally.

-oh,shit.

-what ?

-you said " totally", when you say totally,you're definitely lying.

- that's not true.

-it is, what is it ?

-umm, aria..Papa is dead.

-...

-Aria ? You there ?

I heard a crack in her voice as she tried to sharpen it,

- yeah yeah, I am here.

-did you hear me ?

-yes.

-...

- he deserved it.

-he did, he definitely did. You should know, that he has to take responsibility for all the lives he took.

-I know, Lana, I am not a six year old to lecture me.

-I..I didn't mean to-

-nevermind, I-uh, I have to go.

- o-okay, call me whenever you can, Ari.

- I will, take good care of yourself for me, you're my only family now.

- I love you

-I-I do, too

She hung up and I am sure she cried the hell out of her eyes, she loved him, as much as her heart will tolerate his absence. The father figure he acted upon, was far from what he was in.

But when you figure out your whole life was a lie, a complete lie. You hate yourself for loving what was the reason for it. No matter how close, how dear it is to you.

She doesn't remember our mother as much as I do, she was just 10 when mum died, so she put dad in both places, just to feel complete.

I laid down the bed once again, but I couldn't sleep till the next morning, but lorenzo was sleeping like a baby, he tossed and turned like a giant bear, it was so cute.

By morning, I decided to go for a run, I put on a purple tracksuit on, jogged in the open garden for as long as my lungs was about to burst.

The only way I can clear my head.

Protecting myself from my own memories.

I showered, wore one of Lorenzo's white shirts with nothing but a red pantie underneath, let my hair down, heard Freya waiting by the door as I was l about to check up on Lorenzo who was still sleeping,

- yes, Freya ?

- Master wanted me to show you something m

-He's sleeping

-That wasn't requiring him to be present.

-I don't understand

-Master told me to show you a surprise he was planning for a while now, he said once the team finishes it, you should see it immediately, even if he wasn't there.

-Umm..okay

I followed her down the stairs, back into the garden, but took a small turn by the swan lake, a little road surrounded by trees on both sides which I never saw before. She kept looking at me with excitement in her eyes, she turned after we reached a small door covered in beautiful green and white vines,

- You might wanna be barefoot for this,ma'am.

I gave her a small questionable smile as I obliged,

she opened the door slowly as my vision widened to the sight I have never imagined it was in our back yard.

"Oh my goodness" I gasped.

The most breathtaking view of the sea I have ever witnessed.

Waveless, calm, and mesmerizing.

In the center of the small private beach,

An enormous white swing that turns into a bed put on right in front of the water swaying by the wind.

On my left a small deck on the grass, with white tulips surrounding it all around, a big canvas-stand on it, with a large desk beside it full of paint brushes and all shades of oil colors I could ever think of,along with all sizes of canvases placed by the white garments and a petit sink next to a cute small fridge.

I couldn't believe how beautiful the setting was, no one has ever did something like this for me, it felt like a little world.

I could live her forever. I am absolutely in love.

I didn't notice Freya leaving, I couldn't resist going to the small table in the corner with a vintage gramophone that seemed to be working as I randomly picked an Etta James disk and the record started playing with its soft hums.

I sat on the swing and my feet enjoying the soft sand, I let the wind do the slow swinging as I teared into what now I thank god for, Lorenzo is my greatest plot-switching blessing I could have never imagine it to be. I can't thank him enough for everything.

I laid my head back at the fluffy pillow behind me, enjoyed the salty breeze as the sparkling rays of suns formed a glitter sheet on the sea's surface.

This is peace.

I lost track of time up until I felt his warm hand wrapping around my neck and his lips reaching just next to my own lip and a soft kiss following another down to my jawline till my ear whispered with his hot breathe burning my senses,

-Isn't that my shirt ?

I finally opened my eyes to his face millimeters away from mine, our breathes mixed up into a spicy honey-like smell I couldn't resist until I brushed my lips softly against his putty bottom one, I whispered back as my eyes roamed down his face to him being shirtless with just his pants on.

- Yup, that's mine now.

I felt him smile against my mouth,

- Everything is yours, everything that you'll ever wish for, everything I own.

He caught my my hand and placed it right on his heart, I looked in his eyes, honesty was all over his gaze, I can sense his heartbeat racing through my hand, I smiled back tenderly,

-You are enough.

His pupils dilated in contentment as I continued,

- I love you, Enzo.

As rarely as always, his enchanting smile captured my heart from falling in love all over again.

My eyes teared as I cupped both of his cheeks as I said with weakness of my breaking voice,

- I love it here...Thank you

-Anything to keep you happy baby.

- I wanna be here forever.

- You know I won't lock you here anymore, danger is now gone, you can go wherever you want, only if I know it's safe for you.

I couldn't form words, he's perfect.

I smashed my lips to his and straddled him on the swing-bed as the sunset floated down the sea spreading its beautiful warm colors in the clouds,

He pulled me even closer as I started unbuttoning his shirt off my body slowly, as both of his rough hands caressed my thighs with his fingers digging my flesh.

I threw the shirt away as he adoringly looked at me,

- This is heaven.

I leaned in to kiss him as our tongues fought for dominancy and he won, like always.

He wrapped one arm around my waist as the other nipped the fabric of my pantie on my clit which was madly throbbing and twitching to his touch.

I felt his dick beneath me harden and I took advantage and rocked my hips extremely slow, he groaned to every sway, to every moan that slip out of my mouth, to every kiss we shared.

Within seconds, he was deeply inside of me, I felt my walls tighten around him and every nerve intense for an upcoming orgasm, the chill in the air appealed my goosebumps, I can sense out juices blend in as he flipped us and got on top of me, hovering me in a supreme power, he quickened his pace, He wrung two orgasms the fuck out of me,

He tipped his head back in pleasure as he devoured me, like a fucking sex monster.

His eyes, again, rove over me. Leaned even forward adjusting his weight even more to build another orgasm. My arousal felt too good to be true, I started seeing black dots in my vision, as his dick kept thrusting into me while he put both my legs together on one shoulder, pleasure intertwined down my spin as I felt his orgasm bursting inside of me.

" fuck " he whimpered, " you feel so fucking good"

His breathe was heavy even as his last slow thrusts emptying every drop of his cum inside of my pussy, as I moaned loudly his name.

" My name has never been that sexy before"

He smirked as he gave me a kiss on my right cheek, and rested his head on my neck.

" Ready for another round ? "

I desirably nodded as he flipped me on my hands and knees and spanked me, hard.

I whined in both pain and pleasure. "Ready"

We joined back in love, in ecstasy, in desire.

We couldn't stop having each other.

Just like we always do, like we always will.

Forever.

I can't believe that this is finally done, happily served its purpose. I loved every part of it. I couldn't be any prouder of myself of finishing my first ever novel. Maybe its short, but I am definitely writing another one very very soon..it will be on Mattia and Aria ! :)

I loved both of their characters and I am more than willing to write about them an even bigger novel than this one.

Anyway, I wanted to thank my best friend who kept on encouraging me and who is this book dedicated for, actually every book is gonna be dedicated to her. She deserves all the love she wishes for, all the dreams she wishes for, and all the praise.

I love you 🤍

Till the next one 🤍
