Meanwhile
Lorenzo entered inside a room his hands fix on his pocket while Vincent waited outside he went in his steps could be heard on the neat floor his body frame straighten and his eyes settling on the familiar sight of his father private quarter, the appearance of its decent and painted brown walls greeted him the windows shedding off the sunset reflection with curtains, shelves of books and table containing documents and files were by the left and so on counts the glorious sight of the old formidable Mafia Don private spot
His eyes finally meet with the old man seated at his favorite brown colored chair facing the same coloured table on his hands was a glass of whiskey and a bottle on the table,his brown eyes rested on Lorenzo who tuk a seat on the couch by the other side
Zach Ferrari the Mafia Don sipped a drink from his glass"you 're 5 minutes late"he stared pouring himself another glass
Lorenzo expression remains the same his eyes cold and dark..... without any signs of emotion not even his father can tell his thoughts from his looks,he remove his masks placing it on the table Infront of them "cut to the chase"he replied coldly with no difference from his normal way of speaking. Damn not friendly at all...
Zach breathed a sigh and said "her husband Ryan Oliver couldn't pay up for his debt he's Italian but mingled with the Russians for power. Point's he did all he could to get in,he was that tasty for power,he did work on weapon recruitment industry and stole some for the Russians, caught him afterwards, his fortune weren't enough to pay for his debt and the damage he caused I didn't kill him then I wanted him alive inorder to find the fuckin Russians gangs ,in all of this he haven't seen them he was more of a fool to work with them as their messenger,I gave him a month to pay up but he didn't have enough he agreed on paying a price, some one he already gave out to them he entered their gang with a price and that was her as well. It has something to do with her ...I found out about her , the woman you saved. The day before his payment, the Russians found out themselves seems they went aware of him selling her out , his boss was smart knowing she was my lead key into finding them, and they couldn't risk the consequences.. now you know her resemblance still carries trouble as hell. She got into the mess herself.. guess curiousity kills the cat .. they ordered her death,while I seat back and watch? Wasn't possible. She was my price and theirs,it's either kill or loose. Ryan wanted this hidden from my sight.. and he did a bad Job with that decision. I'd doubt his motive of killing his own wife and I sent you for a clean kill ... but turns out he was capable of shedding blood. Simply because she looks like her means a risk..... She could've die if you haven't saved her. Then when she was alive her mere presence was trouble,a sin I'm not allowing to repeats itself! You did the opposite of my expectations!!!!!
Lorenzo eyed him dangerously "you take her for a game to kill. That's the fuckin reason? Fuck you!! She's not your property a thing you can kill, she 's mine"his cold voice rang he pursed his lips on a thin line his words cold-bloodedly and possessive, his aura was everywhere making the room a little bit stuffy
"She's my price " Zach countered a sense of seriousness on his face
Lorenzo stood up coldly his dark gaze fix on the burning eyes of his father,he grabbed his phone from his pocket swiftly and called Vincent who picked up "I want the old man latest weapon project burn down"he ordered flatly , blunt and remorselessly
"You 're a sicko son " Zach interjected standing up "you 're playing a hard game..my project worth a million"he ranted
Lorenzo shrugged carelessly "guess it's bad , having a son capable of every of your will..I never joke, you know that..
Zach lips curled into a smirk and replied"you 're lucky you 're my son.."
Lorenzo looked at him fixedly his cold eyes didn't change or rather having no effect to his father words "it's like a curse being your blood"he averted his gaze leaving towards the exit
Zach eyes flickered with familiarity to his son statement"that's what you said when she was alive..."
Lorenzo stopped on his tracks and asked stonily "how much did he owe you"
"As much as a million" Zach muttered aware of his son decision "unbelievable"he added in disbelief "you 're not....
But before he could say anything else a beeped on his phone interrupted him revealing the transaction of 12million into his account boldly stated firmly, its digit appeared clearly and not mistaken
"Lay one finger on her.. you 'll regret every bit of your existence "Lorenzo bluntly warned serious and his intensions unreadable"she 's mine now..
Zach lifted his gaze from the screen of his phone he gave no answer but watched stiffly "other than that, there's the issue of you getting married..I'm getting older by the day meanwhile you 're still young just 25, I can't bear to die seeing you single, there's even rumor now of you being a gay .. don't ask who brought that up..
Lorenzo flattened his brow"fuck you"he uttered sarcastically
"Valentino has a daughter,he already agree on lending her out for marriage and after her soon to be groom you could guess the effect, she accepted, she 's the type I want as my daughter in law, I've already prepared everything needed for the wedding, you should at least meet her in person "he continued with a smile taking another glass of whiskey down his throat
Lorenzo turn backwards his gaze covered in darkness at the mention of his father stupid arrangements,he stated"that's bullshit,I 'm not a part of your fuckin arrangements, she's not worth to be my bride..." A frown on the cold expression on his face
His words made Zach frown deeply. This 's always the same way it ends whenever he'd try to get Lorenzo married his stubborn, cold-hearted son won't even budge for any , one time he sent a seductress to his mansion and the next news he heard was her death, like the cold blodded sea Lorenzo was he'd never accept any woman into his life for a long time, except her "the trouble". Zach 'd tried to pair his mission mostly with Mafias daughter or a date at least. But till now, his plan was a block end,no route to success,he was tired of this sicko son of his...."find a bride in the next 24 hours or else you 've no other choice than Aurelia"
Lorenzo stared at him his icy self with no indifference 'even her name sound so annoying ' Aurelia 's non other than the proud peacock daughter of Mafia Valentino his father closest friend one of the best known Mafia "24 hours"he gently rubbed his jaw his eyes narrowed slightly as if in deep thoughts "watch me"he said chilly leaving towards the door
While Zach watch unsure if he made the right decision making him find a bride for 24 hours,he wouldn't risk breaking the rule for a second time "he thought but again he wasn't assure
His phone ringing brought him back from his thoughts,he pick the call
"Boss,am sorry to inform you that your weapon recruitment industry was burn down, they was a bomb planted without the security notice, the land 's left with nothing left than ash and smoke....
Damn, Zach hands balled into a fiest, the rage inside of him tuk over and the sound of glass shattering into the wall was heard, his hands ran through his hair as anger built up in his chest
Lorenzo didn't fail to leave without a warning for the sake of that woman
Zach turn to the closed door"this 's a hard game you started son,a bird can't fly without it's wings... what happens when he loses them with no chance of growing back, Mafia world 's a bloody paradise you can't win without killing "
-----------------------------------
May stared at the breathtaking sight in front of her the mansion was enormous complete with a swimming pool and beautifully manicured garden a large fountain was seen at the middle, the glorious view beholding her left her speechless, the black mix with golden automatic gate closed itself as the car finally come into a stop
Wordlessly in surprise May barely even notice when the driver open the car door "miss,we're here"
His voice finally made her recovered back to her senses "this 's his home?"
She was compelled to ask utterly in disbelief, lately after her last treatment Russlan 'd insisted she stayed a bit longer Incase of any side effects and also spend some quality time of relaxation which she barely survive after ten minutes,he finally take some notes on her final recovery development and she was discharged
The hospital gown still clungs to her body and the note Russlan also gave her for healthy diet and safety precautions was on her lap, here she was right at her destination. A place she considered way larger than even her father or Ryan mansion, the two wouldn't equal the magnificent mansion Infront of her
"Yes miss"the driver said with a nod
After a moment of shock she asked meaningfully "are you sure we're not in the wrong place"
Could they really take her to the wrong place?
The driver nodded again and answered "yes..miss....."
May'd to blink twice for a moment. Her saviour 's really that rich, his home 's like a paradise...
Why would he want her at his home? This question failed to leave her mind since the very minute his men,four fierce looking men led her out of the hospital into the car without any figure seeing her until she entered inside the Bugatti Divo waiting for her she felt astonished at first now his home was more surprising. Yet the same question flickered her mind but somehow she couldn't tell why she felt safe, the same way she 'd felt with his touch, the continuous presence of him and a sense of familiarity she felt
Could they really have met each other before?
If they haven't
Then
How could he be generous to someone he doesn't know yet?
May came out of the car accompanied by four of his men,three from the car which followed her and one from the car that brought her here
Her feet with slippers on the ground and her once paled face brighten like the ray of sunshine during summer her gaze darted around every inch of the sprawling mansion. The last paled face she 'd was watching her funeral on tv while she was still alive... how would Andre cope if he actually believe this, he's still a kid of five, who knows what he's passing through in the hands of Ryan
That backstabbing mother fucker!!!
The only thing that comes first before making that idiot pay was finding Andre
That infact was another reason she've to meet Dr.Enzo
The famous doctor and her saviour.
"Follow me miss"one of his men approached her
May nodded thoughtfully and followed
A gasp escape her lips amazed arriving at the first floor she came across the large sitting room the view of the black expensive couches and golden frames match the painted walls,at the middle was the golden glass table without designs yet admirable, down to the tv and so on continues the details of the wonderful interior
Several maids were bustling around cleaning and dusting what already appeared spotless the whole place was equally impressive,the floor gleamed so bright that she could see her reflection in it...
When she was led through the twirling stairs and finally found herself in a massive room painted black with gold intricates , the two single chairs placed beside the gold curtains were also gold, and a floor to ceiling window separated the balcony from the room with a white long curtain, she lowered her gaze to the bed, the large king-size bed with a gold headboard and black mix with gold frames was the most prettiest she had ever seen and the beautiful chandelier that was above her head made her throat dry
And the fluffy black foot rug placed under the bed that spread to cover a small space around the bed made May forget to close her mouth
May closed her parted lips after a while before asking "is this his room too?"
The first of the four men whom led her all the way there answered "we were told to lead you here"his words brief and indirect "have a good stay, the maid 'll soon arrive"he said smoothly before leaving
"Is your boss around"May stopped him at the doorway
The man turn back and simply replied "no he'll be here soon, enjoy your stay"
He finally left
May seem rooted to the spot she was standing on, she was in massive disbelief her eyes trailing on every item inside the room all very expressive and the sight of the walk-in closet wowed her even more that she couldn't help but admire them all, everything a lady could ever want was inside, from clothes to shoes, bags to hats , cosmetics, wigs, sunglasses, and even watches,rings which includes nose rings, earrings, finger rings and so on
Is this really a guest room
She was just a guest after all and here she was, mind blown.
Her gaze darted to the wardrobe a few centimeters away, black in color and the golden frames attached gave it a glorious impression
Was someone living here already?
She decided to check
"Am sorry miss but no one 's allowed to touch that, you can touch everything else other than that"
A voice at the door halted her steps so she stopped averting her gaze towards a maid;a woman on maid costume beaming a smile
"I'm Inara , the maid Incharge of your stay ,if you need anything I'm here for you. May I ask what's your name...?"the woman asked further
May observed her, she didn't need a microscope to tell the force smile Inara 'd on her face she already have a feeling the maid preffered being somewhere else than this, she herself was use to that smile in Emilia presence the same smile Emilia 'd put Infront of guests which says the opposite. She replied"sure, May, well I need a shower that's all..
Inara nodded slightly and said "The Boss ordered your food prepared ,all 're served downstairs, after showering, please come eat , there's the automatic alarm for my call on the desk next to the bed"
"Am not really that..."May wanted to decline but the growling of her stomach betrays her voice so fast than expected "I'll come,thank you"
Saying that Inara soon left
May entered the bathroom which left her awestruck it appeared expensive but simple, clean, very neat, and there's even a hot tub
After taking a shower she changed into a blue simple joggers,white shirt and slippers everything fits her so perfectly including undies and bra,her hair was left unpacked leaving the room she walked downstairs and finally saw herself at the sitting room she located the dinning hall not far from the kitchen
May tuk a seat at the large and long table occupied with strays of food facing her and the cutleries next she was left stunned at first how could she eat all of this?
"Am sorry,I can't possibly ear all of this, its too much"she murmured that the maid around heard her many of them irritated on her complains who was she in this house? She was just a guest and even have the guts to complain on the food, she should be glad eating a meal here hardly you see a guest around here,a woman was a more different case,who could she be to the Boss?
"You should be thankful to eat here,many other 're wishing just to be in your shoes, so be glad for that, how rude and pathetic"one of the maids remarked sarcastically stepping forward she looks like the head of the maid around since her outfit was quite different and unique
May watched as the maid each exchange glances not interfering but in agreement,then to the woman standing in front of her with her arms crossed. She avoided her gaze and responded "I'm glad, infact thankful.. just If can't eat all of this then the rest 'll be wasted I would hate that, since you mentioned alot are wishing to be in my condition,then the rest should be for them..."
Some of the maids changed their irritated look while others remain the same
The woman scoffed with a roll of her eyes before leaving
May ignored her and started eating,done and satisfied she packed her dishes toward the kitchen but unexpectedly maids rush from each angle collecting everything on her hands both remains
"This's our job ,we could get fired if the boss sees you like this miss.....
"Honestly am just a guest "May interjected, truly she was
"A really important one "another muttered"please miss we don't want to get fired.. just let us do the dishes "she added exaggerating in her words
...
May return to the room she came from, it was no use arguing with the maids since they keep insisting on getting fired if she was seen by their Boss on such mere task
She laid on the soft mattress and fell into a deep slumber
.....
May eyes flustered open as she stir a bit she didn't how much she slept but the soft glow of the sundown made her realize it was already evening, with a languid stretch she peeled herself from the warmth of the bed, feeling the soft sheet clung to her skin
Could Dr.Enzo be back by now?
It was no sooner she heard the sound of water pouring from the bathroom
Did she accidentally left the shower open?
But she didn't remember doing that?
Just to be sure she was left with no other choice than to check
Immediately she opened the door... and..voila
Her eyes dropped to the figure inside on nothing but towel and the...
May didn't bother to take another look she instantly close the door in shock screaming her lungs out
