☁︎Lorenzo☁︎Peanut butter? I thought when the flavor hit my taste buds. This should be interesting.I chewed the cookie regardless.~*~The EpiPen had worked, of course, it would. I wasn't dead yet.I was just lethargic because I had wasted too much time without medication. My body was aching, and my face felt swollen, but still, I managed to open my eyes and look at the crying woman in front of me.She kept blaming herself for my 'death' as she sobbed into her knees. Her body was trembling even though she kept tightening her hold around herself, it was easy to tell that she was scared. Willow.I knew her name, I've always known it. For some reason, I just like seeing the confused expression she wears whenever I refer to her as 'Nanny'. I'm not surprised that she didn't know where my room was, she is always so quiet and meek when she's around me. Even when she's walking past my office, I usually pause just to hear her take one step every ten seconds just so she wouldn't make any nois

☁︎Lorenzo☁︎“What divorce?” I scoffed grabbing the cold metal and pushing it back into the tissue box.I discarded the used tissues and was about to put aside the stained work and start on another one when my door opened quietly. I paused momentarily and turned to look at the door, waiting for who it was to come in.“Is it open?” I heard Isabella’s small voice whisper harshly making me smile.“Yes?” Lucas answered sounding confused. “Why are we whispering?” he asked, his voice low.“I don’t know,” Isabella answered before peeping her head in.Her eyes first set on my bed and when she didn’t see me lying in it, her eyes immediately drifted towards the study desk, where I was.I tilted my head as I looked at her and she smiled widely before coming in.“Hi, Daddy!” she beamed as she skipped toward me.Lucas closed the door quietly behind him and followed his sister, shaking his head when she started laughing uncontrollably.“Hi, Dad.” He said when he saw that I was looking at him.When I

☁︎Lorenzo☁︎ "It seems that she passed out from exhaustion, her blood pressure is a little bit high," Sebastian said. "Her pulse is weak, and she is down with a very high fever. I suggest that she gets enough rest and eats something that can hold down her stomach when she wakes up." He added before stepping away from her unconscious body and putting away his stethoscope and blood pressure monitor into his suitcase. Sebastian José is the doctor who treats my family. He's also my trusted friend. I tapped my foot on the floor as I watched the unconscious body laid on my bed. It has been about half an hour since she passed out and it was quite handy that Sebastian lived less than 10 minutes away. My back leaned into the chair I was seated on and watched as Sebastian wrote something on a piece of paper before handing it to me. "These are the prescriptions," he said when I had collected the paper. "Visit the lab if she doesn't get better in two days." "Is that all?" I asked and he humme

☼Willow☼"-low, Willow, wake up my dear." A voice said as they patted my shoulder to wake me up.My body ached as I moved to my side, my head feeling light and aching tremendously when I opened my eyes. It was because of the light pouring from my windows.When I got back to my room, I winded up the curtains, took a bath, and wanted to start getting ready for work but my body felt sore, so I decided to rest for a minute, but I doubt it's been only a minute seeing as Julia is already here and the sky was bright."Oh my, you're burning up," Julia exclaimed, her hand placed above my forehead. "Get up now, you need to eat and take these medicines.I stifled a painful groan when she helped me sit up, the first thing that hit my nose was the scent of porridge. As much as I would love to put something in my stomach, my body wasn't reacting well to the scent of food at the moment. I almost gagged, my hand flying up to my mouth as I tried to tell Julia to take the food away, but she only smiled

☼Willow☼“I’m full Daddy.” Isabella chirped as she pushed her plate forward.As usual, Lucas was the first to finish with dinner and was waiting for his sister. Lorenzo wiped Isabella’s face with a napkin and helped her down from her seat.They both wished their father goodnight and headed upstairs to wait for me.It was 7 pm and I was still cooking my curry. It has been roughly two hours and twenty minutes since I left it to cook and I’m pretty sure the meat is all tenderized by now. I’m waiting to turn off the stove and I’d come to eat it after I get the kids ready for bed.Across the table, I watched Lorenzo pick up his spoon again for the hundredth time and cut into his barely touched plate of food.I wonder if it’s still warm.He scooped a small bite of potatoes and tried to remove any excess gravy before taking a bite.A smile spread on my face at his blank face. I wanted to laugh, he didn’t even seem to chew it, his jaw wasn’t moving, and I knew from his expression that he didn

☁︎Lorenzo☁︎“Was that last piece of information really helpful? You seem to be in a very good mood.” Theodore says as he walks me out of the torture room.I sighed as I unbuttoned my suit, slightly annoyed by the number of stairs I had to climb on my way out.“Or I might be in a good mood because I can finally rest after 21 hours of flying, Theodore,” I told him, and his face dropped at the sound of his name but that cleared away as he spoke again.“The search team still haven’t found anything in Emilio’s house and he’s still not talking to Bianca. I didn’t expect him to hold out for this long,” Theo said reaching out to open the door when we reached the top. “If what that guy said is true then the person using Emilio as a front must be a very dangerous person.” He guessed.I hummed to his thoughts as I walked out before him.I took off my watch and suit as we walked through the corridors, the faint scent of cleaning agents wafting in the air, probably from the number of times that ro

☼Willow☼Isabella let out another loud yawn as I pulled her covers to her chin, she nuzzled her face into my hand making it hard for me to retract it. I chuckle at the cute gesture, her small face looking so beautiful under the yolky bedside lamp.“Why won’t you just sleep with me Wooly?” She says, her sleepy voice barely taking out the words.Lucas shifts in his bed before he scoffs.“Because she has a bed that is much bigger and comfortable than yours.” He retorts making his sister frown. “Will has been working all day, she needs a big bed and a quiet room to sleep.”“Leave us alone Luke, we’re not talking to you.” She tells him.Lucas grumbles something under his breath before he keeps quiet. I laugh lightly at this and shake my head, they bicker over the smallest things.“You know I can’t do that Bella,” I tell her as I carefully slip my hand from under her cheeks.“Then can I sleep with you?” She asks making me pause for a moment.“How about we plan a sleepover sometime? Luke can

☼Willow☼“Shit, shit, shit!” I blurted out repeatedly as my now cold fingers rushed to pick up my phone. A loud gasp left my lips when I saw the blaring letters that spelled Mr. Moretti on my screen.“Holy fuck.” I cursed, my heart dropping to the pit of my stomach. My body became almost lifeless as I started to lose touch with my limbs and slowly drove into panic.What the fuck did you do Willow? What have I done? What if he’s busy? Hell, what if he’s actually sleeping and I’m here blaring his phone?I can’t bring myself to disable the call because it would be even worse if I ended the call just for him to call me back again! The humiliation! I shouldn’t freak out, I should be calm and professionally apologize to him and tell him that-You accidentally dialed his number with your forehead because you were already thinking of him and thinking about calling him, but the idea didn’t work so you decided to give up, but the world has other plans.My stomach churned at the ruthless voice i
