Mag-log inSelena’s POVA year later, I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my replica image. I looked so different that I almost didn’t recognize myself.Well, you might be wondering what is happening. It’s my wedding. Lorenzo decided to wed me again after all the chaos that has happened.Years ago, I didn’t get to say “I do” before I got kidnapped, but I will be saying that in a few minutes.Tears threatened to fall from my eyes, but I lifted my face up, fanning my eyes as I tried to hold it all back. I can’t risk spoiling my makeup.“Oh Selena, you make a beautiful bride,” she complimented, her hands holding me by the shoulders while we both stared at the mirror.“Thank you Linda for agreeing to be my chief bridesmaid.”“It’s an honor, darling,” she replied.“Mummy,” Anaya walked into the room with chocolate stains all over her mouth. She has grown so in love with eating chocolate that I fear her teeth might hurt.I have it curbed for her, but Lorenzo won’t. He makes sure to do all her w
Lorenzo’s POVWith the little strength I had left in me, I looked up in that direction, my eyes squinting as I tried to recognize who it was.A muscular figure stepped forward with our baby in his hands. At first, it was dark, but when he drew closer, I recognized him immediately.Leonard had saved my family once again.Confusion spread through the room like wildfire. Amy wasn’t expecting the turn of events, and that moment was when Leonard used it to his advantage.His men rushed in, taking down the rest of Amy’s men.“Leonard, are you supporting this bastard that killed father?” Amy cried out as she struggled with the men holding her.“Shut the fuck up, Amy,” Leonard fired back. “You are gradually becoming a monster like father. Look at what your sweet self has turned into over revenge.”“You are just a bastard, a coward for not fighting back for father!” Amy yelled.Paaa.Leonard slapped her hard across the face, the sound echoing through the room. Amy's face turned sideways at the
Lorenzo’s POV“There must be a way to unlock the door,” Selena said, her hands trying to press on the key buttons, but I told her to hold on.Slowly, I examined the door lock. It was nothing like I had seen before. It had buttons on it, yet it was very hard to know which to press as there were no markings or instructions on each button.I pressed the black button. The door made a loud sound, then a scanner light flashed on us. A yellow light, but immediately it recognized us as intruders, and the light changed to red.A loud siren echoed in the room. The lights started flickering. Red lights flooded the room.“Security breach detected,” the automated voice announced loudly.“Shit,” I cursed.Selena was no different. She cursed under her breath, gripping her gun tighter as she pointed to the door.“This is a trap,” I announced.“Do you think we will leave here alive?” a girl among the victims asked.“Just follow my instructions,” I instructed.“You should have left us there. Now she is
Lorenzo’s POV Relief washed through my mind, but it didn’t even last a minute.I heard footsteps throbbing towards us, but before I could process everything, we were already surrounded.Amy had deceived us all. I should have known she wasn’t that naive baby sister I knew. She is now a mafia, and mafia aren’t to be trusted.I swept the room to know how many men we were up against, but I won’t lie, we were outnumbered. We were just three, and they were hundreds of them.I shouldn’t have underestimated Amy. I shouldn’t have believed her forgiveness so easily. Well, maybe I was moved by past emotions to think it through.She stepped forward, her gun pointed at us, not only hers but hundreds of them. One wrong move and we were dead.“Amy…” I called.“Shut the fuck up,” she shouted. “Move to the center, hands up,” she instructed.I did just as I was told. She looked too dangerous right now to be disobeyed.“Did you think your stupid story would fix what you did?” she shouted.“And you,” sh
Lorenzo’s POVWe waited till the cloud was down and the view was dark before moving to the building, finally leaving our hideout in the bush after several hours.Earlier, the guys had driven out with the boxes, leaving just a few men behind.We would have attacked, but we couldn’t risk raising an alarm. What if my daughter is not there? These guys are the only link to getting to her.“Go left, you right,” I signaled to the men I came with while Lorenzo and I moved to the front, afraid and ready to bring down any of the men.Surprisingly, there were no men there, unlike in the earlier hours of the day when men were stationed at every angle. We met only the building. Without any hindrance, we tried opening the door, but it was very much locked.Thankfully, there were no CCTV cameras. She might have thought no one would ever discover it.I moved to the back, trying to see if there was another entrance in. Luckily, I found a window open, the only way into the building.I jumped into the b
Lorenzo’s POVI rushed in with Selena in my arms, her blood trailing on the floor as I bolted inside.“Where is the doctor?” I screamed as I stormed into the hospital.“He will be here soon,” the nurse informed me.I couldn’t take that. I couldn’t let the doctor delay for even a moment. We had come from far away. That village had no hospital. I had to row a canoe just to get to the city as fast as I could, even at the cost of leaving Anaya behind.“Get the fucking doctor if you don’t want me blowing off your head!” I shouted at the nurse.She rushed out and returned almost immediately with the doctor. We were already assigned a ward. I stepped back, not far, but enough to give him space to attend to Selena.He checked her vitals, his hands moving over her body, examining her eyes and connecting drips and wires.“Is she okay?” I asked, but he didn’t respond. He kept doing things I didn’t understand.“I need answers!” I shouted, grabbing his shirt.The doctor didn’t even flinch. He simp
Selena’s POVIt’s been weeks of training with Lorenzo, weeks of sweat, pain, and consistency. So far, I had not only improved, learned, and unlearned, but I was also able to build my behavior in the sense that my emotions became unreadable. In times of hardship, I have learned that anger destroys t
Selena’s POV I stared at the room again to see if I could see any training tools but I didn’t see any,my eyes wasnt deceiving me.Where I will be training? I repeated his words before I could stop myself.Yes,we will start from the basics,he repeated ,his face not smiling. He look just like the sa
Selena’s POVI knew his father won’t approve of me and I prepared for this moment, the moment where I will challenge his father. I had tried not to be afraid, for mafias consider fear as being weak and not up to the task.Juliana had made me read and learn more about this world I now find myself in
Selena’s POVCan I live with the same man that killed my parents, pretending nothing has happened? I questioned myself. My eyes grew darker, hands wrapping tightly around my stomach. I still have to find out what happened the night my parents died and also avenge their death.For now, I had to pret
