Lorenzo’s POVMr knight signaled to the waiter to serve us lunch. The waiter placed the food on the table, aroma of the food filled the restaurant. Red wine was poured into the glass cup on the table. The waiter bowed and excused himself.Mr Knight slid the papers across the table. The word “contract” was bold, firm, daring me to end this with a signature and a handshake.It should have taken ten minutes. Ten minutes and we could have been gone. But of course, Knight could not keep his eyes to himself.Every bite of food, every small motion Blue Eyes made, he was watching. The way she shifted her fork, the way she reached for her glass, his stare was there. The way she drank from the wine abd placed the cup back on the table,his eyes never left her. The way she adjusted her gown nervously, his gaze still didn’t leave her body. He wasn’t even ashamed he was openly checking her out.I tightened my grip on my fork until the metal nearly bent between my fingers.She did not notice. Of cour
Lorenzo’s POVThe way she asked it,those wide blue eyes blinking up at me, innocent lips parting on a word she didn’t even understand,lit something dangerous inside me. What is pussy?Christ. She had no idea. She is damn too innocent and pure.My hand tightened around her wrist as I dragged her away from Jojo's disgusting grin before I broke every tooth in his rotten mouth.My legs moved so fast,my feet tapping quickly against the marble floor of the corridor leading to my office. Selena try to keep up with my pace but I didn’t slow down. I noticed my grip on her wrist was too tight,I softened just enough to keep her from hurting “Where are we going?” she asked, breathless.“Anywhere but here,” I muttered. Anywhere no man can look at you. Anywhere no man can hear you say things that belong only to me.In no time we arrived at the office . I opened the door,pulled her inside, and shut the door close. The silence of my office welcomed me.i sat on the desk while she stood before me, her
Selena’s POVI blinked against the stubborn light of the dawn that refused to let me sleep longer.I opened my eyes slowly and winced due to the sudden brightness. It took a while for me to adjust to the brightness of the morning, and when I opened my eyes again, I was shocked at the figure before me. Not believing my eyes, I closed them back and opened it again, but all was reality, I wasn’t dreaming.I was laying on my bed and there stood Lorenzo, standing tall and leaning on the wall, his leg crossed, one hand in his pocket and the other leaning on his jaw. I sat up quickly, shifted backward, wondering how he got here. I was still in my night dress, it’s a see-through gown. I grabbed the bed cover and wrapped it around myself.“How did you get in here?” I asked, my voice shaky.Silence.He didn’t answer, he just stood there grazing at me, watching every move.“I am calling the cops on you if you don’t give me an answer now,” I said.Clap. Clap.His hands beat on each other like a s
Selena’s pov“We don’t need anyone at this moment, you can check again next month,” the receptionist said immediately I told her about my job hunt.I sighed. This is the fifth company that will say this today. Some of them even looked at me with hatred, saying I am poor and I don’t fit to work here.I had left each place hoping for a better day but it only got worse.I walked towards the bench by the road and sat down. I drank from the bottle of water I had brought at a mall earlier. I felt relieved.I can’t give up, I need to get a new job this month, the month just started.I think that’s enough for today, I will continue my search the next day.I walked out of the estate heading to the gate to get a ride when I suddenly heard commotion at a big hall.I stood looking at what was going on. I realized it was one of the ceremonies of those big men. I was about leaving when I heard an old woman lamenting to her staff.“Bunch of unserious staff, she knows how important today is? She even
Lorenzo’s POVThe suspect was said to arrive by 5:30 a.m. I had only thirty minutes before six to finish up everything. Every second mattered.I sat on my motorcycle, the cold morning air brushing against my mask. The faint hum of engines in the distance was the only sound breaking through the silence of dawn. I scanned the area for any threats, my eyes trained on every shadow that moved. My men knew their tasks, and if they had done them right, Father’s men would be delayed. The plan was simple: they will destroy the road, make it look like an accident, block off the path. Give me enough time to execute.The first sign of movement caught my eye. A sleek private plane rolled to a stop on the tarmac. The door open, and out stepped the long waited target.Mr. Knight. His arrogance walked ahead of him before his feet even touched the ground. He pulled out his phone immediately, already barking orders into it.That’s when Mateo made his move. Calm. Confident. Controlled. He walked toward t
Lorenzo’s POVThe initiation was done, but the night had just begun. The after-party of the ceremony had begun. This is the time everyone had anticipated. The hall roared to life as music shook the wall, bottles clinked, and the smoke of cigarettes curled through the air.The new recruits were pushed towards the center, where old members surrounded them. Their faces curled up in pain at the sting of their fresh tattoos.“Boss,” Mateo whispered beside me, “the games await your orders.”I threw away the little cigarette in my hand, brought another one out and lit it before puffing out the smoke, leaning back on my chair. I scanned the eager faces of the recruits and the old members.“Let’s see if the new blood is worthy enough to be among the family. Start the circle,” I announced.Everyone’s faces lit up with happiness at my command. The crowd parted way for a circle. Two of the recruits were shoved into the circle. Mateo gave them a knife each.“First blood wins,” he announced.Each o
