Chapter 7 Did I do something wrong

Sarah

After what happened the last time, I've been mentally down, I could not even stare at myself in the mirror cause it feels like myself respect was tainted with, I put it on myself for not holding back myself, and I understand why he thinks of me like that, from now on I've known better and would be cautious from now on, 

I woke up early today but when I remembered Lorenzo might have woken up I decided to lay back on the bed and sleep, on a second thought I couldn't just lay back knowing that he's in the kitchen, I feel like that makes me kind of irresponsible cause I'm in his house, he's providing for my son and I, the least I could do is to help out around the house, and be a good wife, even though it's fake, cause someone of his caliber made it clear to me that I'm not his type.

Honestly I don't want to be his type too, cause the last thing I want right now is to venture into a relationship when my mental health is still in chaos, I just thought a fling would take the pain away for a moment but I ended up being judged badly for it. 

I went downstairs even though I know I might bump into Lorenzo, but I can't start hiding away from him because of what happened, no matter what I have to face it, and that's exactly what I'm doing, I was rather surprised this time around cause he was not in the kitchen instead I was hearing a sound, it's more like a punching sound. 

I know I should mind my business but my curiosity would not let me, so I followed the sound, and the more I walk the closer the sound becomes, I was now close to a particular room, it was the last room on the hallway, I gently stepped closer and I saw Lorenzo boxing, he was so focused with headphone connected in his ear, and right now his muscles and everything were in display, his abs, everything was so fucking good, it's almost like this man is too good and even when you try to stay away from them they keep on appearing more appealing and sexier. 

I watched as beads of sweat trickled down to every part of his body, I was lost staring at him, completely forgetting that I scolded myself never to lust after him again and always control myself. He was about to turn when I hid by the walls immediately, I was about sneaking back to the kitchen and the next minute he was standing before me, 

I was so shocked that I couldn't utter a word and was just staring at him like a thief caught in the act, he stared at me from head to toe and his gaze returned back to my face, 

“Uhm, ahh, good morning” I greeted and scratched the back of my neck nervously 

“Hmmm” He nodded without uttering a word with his gaze still on me, 

“Uhm, I…..I came down to make breakfast and saw, I mean and heard sounds and decided to check it out” 

“I thought I made it clear for you to stay in your lane, and not cross boundaries in this house” 

“I'm sorry” 

“What do you want?” 

I don't understand why everyone since what happened between us he has been looking at me with that gaze that makes me feel like he hates seeing me around, am I that bad that he now hates the sight of me, or did I do something else that I don't know about, 

“Uhm, what would you like to have for breakfast?” 

“Make anything, I'm not selective” 

“Oh, okay” I gently smash my lips together, feeling so nervous, cause right now his gaze are boring holes on my body, 

“Anything else?” 

“Uhm, no, see you later” I said to him and quickly left, as soon as I got into the kitchen I breathed out in relief, my heart was beating so fast, damn he always makes me nervous, the first day he saw me he wasn't looking at me like that, could it be that his narrative of me changed ever since he learnt I was Williams ex wife, wait….now that I think about it I think it's making sense to me, could it be that he hates me because of that? 

I ended up spending half of the morning thinking about something I do not even have an answer to and by the time I realized it was already morning, I quickly looked around the kitchen thinking of what to make and when I couldn't think of something light I ended up making pancakes and coffee. 

I was done cooking so I served breakfast and went upstairs to check on my baby since Lorenzo has not come downstairs yet. I went upstairs and my pretty boy has woken up, 

“Sweetheart…..” I called and as he heard my voice his eyes shine, and his tiny teeth came out in display, he speak his baby language as I happily carried him in my arms, as I was coming downstairs I saw Lorenzo almost leaving, 

“Hey” I called rushing outside, and that's when I saw two other guys they were putting on Italian tuxedo like Lorenzo

“I'm almost late, what's that?” Lorenzo asked looking at his Patek wristwatch 

“I made breakfast, I….”

“I'm not hungry” He didn't even allow me to finish, he got into the car and they drove off, I stood there staring into space, and I couldn't stop wondering what I did wrong, I asked him earlier and he said he's fine with anything, why did he change so sudden, he should have told me he does not want breakfast, how the hell am I supposed to finish all that. 

I went back inside and spent the rest of the day, doing nothing just me and my baby, at this point I'm even afraid to cook because no matter what I cook he may or may not eat it and the food will end up going to waste, 

It was almost evening and I was tired of staying inside the house so I decided to come spend time outside the mansion, the weather was windy and nice, so I sat on the long bench but it's more like a swing, I made sure my baby is well covered as the both of us enjoyed the beautiful weather, 

It was getting darker and darker, with every passing minute I wondered if Lorenzo is back cause this part of the mansion is at the back, now that I look at it the Apollio's mansion is huge almost one of a kind, one might actually get lost exploring this place, the compound area is crazily massive, 

“You're here” I heard a familiar voice behind me and gently stood up with my baby in my arms, I turned around, Lorenzo was standing behind me

“You're back” 

“Why are you here?” 

“Uhh, I got tired of staying inside the house and decided to come outside” I replied cautiously, he didn't say a word to me for some seconds and I was wondering if I did something wrong again, 

“It's cold outside, let's go in” 

“Hmmm” I smiled as the both of us walked into the house, 

We got inside the house and I was surprised to see so many foods set on the table, 

“I'm going for an important meeting tomorrow at the government house, and you'll be coming with me, so get ready”

“Tomorrow?”

“Hmmm, it's tomorrow”
