A bucket of water was splashed over Lorenzo's face waking him from his deep slumber while he caught his breath. He searched his surroundings, he was locked, his tendons severed, strapped to a chair in a dark dungeon as a familiar face stood before him, his ex, Katerina Romanov. "Wakey wakey sleepy head," She mocked dropping a piece of clothing on the table, she opened it revealing the objects of torture, a knife, hammer, nails, pliers and a few others, "My orders were not to capture you, my benefactor thought it would be impossible, but you've finally run out of luck Lorenzo, you aren't invisible anymore now that you have a mate," "Is this how you intend to torture me?," Lorenzo smiled, his shirt and watch had been stripped from him and only his pants remained, "You must still love me if you think those toys would scare me," "I want to take my time with you," She smiled deviously, "Get to know you outside and within. I don't know how your bullet wounds were able to heal this qui
After Lorenzo left, she started looking for clothes. All the outfits were so beautiful, it was hard to choose! Finally, her eyes landed on a stunning black dress covered in jewels. It looked like something from a fantasy book. "It's so pretty," she thought, her eyes sparkling. Even though she was Lorenzo's hostage and wouldn't be wearing it anytime soon, she muttered, "Ugh, who knows, maybe it'll be useful later." She carefully put the dress into a bag Lorenzo had given her and kept looking for more clothes. Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps. "Lorenzo?" she called out, trying to see who was there, but no one answered. Hmm how strange, she thought, I could have sworn I heard something. Maybe it was just her imagination?, She went back to searching for clothes when two muscular men stepped into the light. They were wearing black coats and walked towards her "Are you Cassie Michaelson?" one of them asked, his voice deep and commanding. "Y-yes who are you?," She stuttered con
The big glass doors of "Flamboyance Elegance" opened quietly, showing a very fancy and quiet shop. Everyone inside, from the well-dressed sales staff neatly folding scarves to the careful shoppers looking at old watches, immediately looked at the man who walked in. He stole the breath out of the ladies, His dark blue sleeve clothing fit him perfectly, showing off a strong body that seemed shaped by a life of being in charge, not just from working out. A shiny silver watch caught the light on his wrist. His dark, perfectly styled hair framed a face that was sharp and expressive. Cassie couldn't entire she was surprised, there wasn't a soul on the world that wouldn't look twice at Lorenzo. She held her hat firmly and found the room quite dark to wear shades but she didn't take it out, remembering Lorenzo had demanded she wore it as a disguise. He didn't want people to realise she was the missing girl on the news. It wasn't exactly the shades or hat that made her itchy and unco
The next morning Breakfast had been eerily quiet, both Lorenzo and Gianna had been absent from the dinner table, it had just been Leonardo, still after last night's incident she wasn't sure how to talk to him and vice versa. she was glad it was just him, she doubted right now she had the patience to stand Lorenzo. After breakfast she got to her feet, when finally Leonardo broke the silence, "Did you enjoy your breakfast?," "Yes it was delicious thank you," She answered truthfully watching as Leo elegantly took a sip of his brewed coffee. "Cassie about yesterday....I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you like that," He dropped his coffee and got to his feet approaching Cassie, "I was trying to keep your head still attached to your body, who knows how Lorenzo would react if I hadn't interfered," "I know," She bit her lips, she knew he did it to protect her, it was so unlike her to loose her temper so easily, but with everything that had happened, Liam's death, her father's dis
Fifteen minutes later Cassie still found it impossible to sleep with Lorenzo sitting across the bed. what if he began to touch her in her sleep?, knowing how evil Lorenzo was, she wouldn't put it past him to do such. Her eyes were closed while she tried to still herself to pretend she was asleep. It had been eerily quiet, "Is he asleep?," She pondered squinting a bit to check on Lorenzo, surprisingly the chair was empty, did he leave?, no it was ridiculous, she would have heard a sound if he did. She stylishly turned to her side facing the window and found Lorenzo standing idly and gazing at the full moon. She was unable to tear her gaze from his mouth drooling physique that put every man she had seen on Playboy magazines to shame. "Like what you see little Cas?," He broke the silence and she gulped nervously, "I know you're still awake," "Well I can't possibly sleep with you around, I don't trust you," Cassie replied opening her eyes "If I wanted you dead, trust me, you'l
"I think you should tell her the truth, of what she is to you, and what you really are," "No, I forbid you or anyone from telling her, I don't know if I'm going to keep her after I kill her father, it would be stupid to expose ourselves," Cassie fluttered her eyelids open and caught the blur silhouette of an elderly woman talking with a man, slowly it became clearer that it was Lorenzo. Her head throbbed like she had been in the head by a baseball bat, and she felt an itch in her neck. "Luckily I attended to her on time, so there isn't any major complications, with enough rest I'm sure she'll be fine," She heard the woman say to Lorenzo, "But it was incredibly reckless, i mean what the hell were you thinking marking her like that, have you forgotten it's poisonous to humans?" Poisonous to humans?, what was she talking about?, she pretended to still be asleep eavesdropping on their hushed conversations. "It wasn't me it was my....." Lorenzo sniffed the air repeatedly and chuckl
