My eyes watered as they opened to see Lorenzo standing at the door.

Was I hallucinating? This better not be the effect of being shot, or I will burn this building to the ground with myself in it.

He was by my side in a flash and wrapped his arms around me, giving me a warm, tight hug.

I took in a deep breath, soaking in the smell of his cologne and the heat of his body, and a single tear slid down my face.

This was real. Lorenzo was here.

"I'm glad you're here. I missed you so f*cking much." I whispered as I hugged him tighter, like he would slip out of my arms and disappear if I didn't.

He let go of me, and before I could complain, he kissed me. It was hot and passionate yet somehow tentative and desperate, like he was telling me how much he was hurt by my absence, and I couldn't help but melt into it.

"I missed you too," he replied, and he tried to kiss me again, but I jerked my head backward.

"Sh*t! Where's that bastard Michael? I heard a bang and thought he shot me, but ap

    "I think this is the right time for me to bounce." Logan smiled sheepishly as he stared at the imaginary watch on his wrist."Coward." Gabi snorted."Yet you love me like that." He kissed her cheek, and she smiled."You're lucky I do.""I am. Later." He left, and I turned to Pablo."Explanation?""At least continue eating your food. You've only taken a single bite. Is it not to your liking? I can ask the chef to prepare another." He said as he pushed my food closer to me. "Only if you tell me what happened while I eat." I grumbled."Fine, please just eat." He sighed. I picked up my spoon, shoved a small amount of food in my mouth and gave him a 'start talking' look."Where do I begin?" He mumbled as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Beatrice and Michael were subtle but not subtle enough, nor did they have the influence they thought they had in Vipers. What gave them a little bit of power was Alexander's network of criminals. Their secrets weren't as secret as they thou

    Gabi let go of me as I stared at Pablo like he had risen from the dead because, to me, he had actually done so.So many emotions flooded through me that I couldn't keep track. I wanted to scream and yell at him for playing such a cruel prank on me, while I also wanted to cry from happiness that he was alive."Will you give your old man a hug?" Pablo smiled as he stretched out his hands.My legs moved on their own accord, and I threw my arms around him.I didn't pass through him. He wasn’t a ghost. He was real. Flesh and blood real."You're... you're alive. Michael was so sure that he had killed you and I... I..." I cried as I hugged him tighter."I'm not. I'm alive, Gwen. I'm sorry for giving you such a scare." He said softly as he rested his jaw on my head.I stayed in his arms for a while, crying my eyes out until I calmed down."I can't believe you lied to me." I scowled, glaring at him as he let go of me. "I hate you and Lorenzo so much right now. I feel like beating your

    "Apart from that." I blurted."There's nothing else I want, Gwen. I want you to come with me and never run away again. You're not going to try to contact that bastard, Lorenzo. You're going to forget he f*cking exists. You're going to delete him from your soul, and you're going to swear your undying loyalty to me." Michael said as he wrapped his arm around my waist, and I managed not to shiver with disgust."For f*ck's sake, why don't you f*cking turn me into a f*cking robot that you can reprogram to your taste because that's what you're demanding?" I scowled."Where is the fun in that?" He laughed and placed his forehead against mine. "I know you hate my guts, and you'd kill me if you got the chance, but I'm sure they will change the longer you're trapped with me. Stockholm syndrome is a thing, isn't it? But that can't kick in if you keep trying to run away from me. That's why I'm striking this deal with you. If you want me to leave these two alone, then you have to promise to nev

    “Michael." I let out a shaky breath as I took a step back.No. This couldn't be real. I was dreaming. I had lain down on Felix's bed, and I was having a really, really realistic dream.Wake up, Gwen.I pinched my arm, and the pain seemed to hurt even more because it came with fear.Oh shit!Oh fucking shit!This wasn't a fucking nightmare!Michael was here. In this house. Standing in front of me with a crying young lady—who I assumed was Jade—in one arm and a fucking gun in the other pointed at Felix, who was crumpled on the ground as he held his bleeding arm.Fuck! Felix!"Don't you dare unless you want this poor, innocent lady to get hurt." Michael said before I could reach out to him, and he turned the gun to Jade, who flinched and cried harder."H... How... How...""How am I here when you drugged me? Easy. I switched the drink." He replied.When the fuck did he do— Fuck!So that was why he did all those theatrics when I handed him the drink. He was just fucking with m

    "Fuck! Gwendolyn! Is that really you?" Lorenzo gasped, and my eyes watered.When was the last time I had heard that voice? Weeks ago! Fucking weeks ago, and they hadn't told me good things, but fuck me, my eyes were still full of tears because I fucking missed him! I fucking missed him so damn much that it hurts!I wanted to hug him and tell him everything was fucking ok and I was safe from that bastard Michael, but he was in who knows where."It's me, Lorenzo." I whispered as tears streamed down my face."How are you? Are you crying? Are you hurt? Did that fucking bastard hurt you?" He growled."I'm fine. I'm only crying because I'm so fucking happy to be talking to you. I've fucking missed you so damn much.""I've missed you too, my dear. I've fucking missed you. I've been looking fucking everywhere for you." He said it softly, and I melted.Lorenzo missed me! He fucking missed me! And had been looking for me! For me!"Where are you now? How are you able to contact me?""I ran away
