The Heartless Lover Chapter 21
It was past midnight. I was sitting in a semi-circle booth seating, alone, in a lavished nightclub. This nightclub had a modern and luxurious design that was sure to put someone in awe. The seating area is plush and comfortable, with velvety couches and ottomans. The walls were painted in a rich black, with colourful accent lighting that changes to the beat of the music to give it an extra bit of vibrancy. The dance floor is a glossy black, with a star-studded ceiling that has flashing lights to give it a sparkly feel while illuminating the room. I watched the dancefloor while tracing the rim of the half-empty wine glass which was on the table with my fingers. The dancefloor was full of people, some dancing and others swaying to the music. Near the dance floor, a small stage had been set up with a DJ spinning the latest tunes. The crowd was captivated by the music and the energy in the room was palpable. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was having a great time. I looked to my r

A few days have passed. Today was Alonso's wedding. He had finally gotten Lizzy, Odette's mother to say yes. Alonso didn't want to waste any time in getting official with Lizzy, he planned a small wedding. it was just going to be some members of the mafia and a few relatives of Lizzy. I sat among the congregation in the wedding venue, my uncle was waiting by the altar alongside his groomsmen with a priest standing on it. As soon as Lizzy's presence was acknowledged we all stood up. The flower girls first walked in, Odette was among them, and then the bridesmaid walked in, I was asked to be one of them but I hated that shit but Bianca gladly accepted it, heck she was the chief bridesmaid. Then, Lizzy walked down the aisle slowly. she was putting on a simple wedding gown, holding a small bouquet with her other arm wrapped around her father's arm"You know, I've always dreamt of watching my daughter walk down the aisle but you took that dream from me" I heard someone speak in a shaky vo

Present times:"Wake up sleepyhead!!"I heard a high-pitched voice piercing through my ears, I opened my eyes immediately but squinted them as someone opened the curtains, letting the early morning sun shine on my face."What the heck?" I grudgingly sat on the bed rubbing my eyes, I yawned and eventually looked up at the person who decided to ruin my sleep"I can't believe you're in bed at this time... Geez, it's past eight a.m" Alexa tucked in a strand of her purple hair behind her ears then placed her hands on her waist."It's still too early" I got up from the bed... "I like waking up somewhere around ten or maybe eleven but definitely not eight-ish" I complained as I neatly arranged the blanket on the bed."Well, you're in our house and we have rules… everyone is up and breakfast is ready" Alexa rolled her eyes "I don't follow rules and I can eat my breakfast whenever I wake up" I threw myself back on the bed"You just arranged that" Alexa chuckled as she facepalmed"Ugh!"

Lorenzo's povI watched Jacqueline as she fought Ali with everything she had in her. I had never seen someone as fierce, strong and courageous as her… she wasn't scared of the fact that Ali was bigger than she was and the doubtfulness of the crowd didn't make her lose hope in fighting against Ali.. This girl never ceased to amaze me. When Ali had given her that blow to her midsection, it took alot of self control to stop myself from breaking into that cage to give him the beating of his life. I wanted to rush in there and carry her out of that bloody fight, I don't know why but the thought of Jacqueline getting hurt pissed me off.. I felt relieved when she had her comeback, it felt like a heavy weight on your chest had been lifted up. The genuine smile that beamed on her face as she was announced the winner was contagious. God, this has got to be the most beautiful woman I've laid my eyes on. Jacqueline was very attractive, it's hard to keep your eyes off her.. my eyes were glued

Alexa spoke with excitement"Mhmm" I simply replied, not paying much attention to what she was sayingwe had just taken our shower, we were in the locker room changing our clothes. today has been one heck of a hectic and painful day, from fighting to pain simulation tests to shooting range. I wanted to get over all this tests and get into real action in the underworld"Ali must've been so embarrassed, he hasn't shown his face ever since the fight. poor dude" Alexa chuckled but this time, I didn't answer her "Earth to Jacqueline!!! Are you even listening to me?" she snapped her fingers at my face causing me to startle "Of course I'm listening to you" I sheepishly scratched the back of my neck. "I'm all done here, let's go" I turned to leave "Okay, then what did I say earlier?" Alexa folded her arms "What?" I gave her an are-you-serious? Look, she understood it

""I didn't need your help Enzo, I would've dealt with her just fine" I broke the awkward silence between us as we walked down the hall"I know, that's why I dragged you away from her" he answered "So?""We still need Avery alive" he simply answered. I don't know why but that almost made me to burst into laughterWe took a lift to the top floor of the warehouse. Lorenzo placed his thumb on the biometric scanner which was at the corner of a black majestic door."Welcome, Lorenzo Hernandez" the robotic voice spoke as the door automatically opened up."where are we?" I asked curiously as we stepped into the room."This is my office" he spoke proudly as the door shut itself.The office was adorned with dark wood paneling, intricately patterned rugs, plush leather chairs and tall windows sealed in heavy, luxurious curtains, well-stocked bar which reflected his taste for the finer things in life . classical framed paintings and sculptures lines the wall exuding wealth and refinement.

The ride to the hospital was a quiet one, at first, I thought Lorenzo wouldn't let me go with him but surprisingly he agreed without hesitation. As soon as he parked his Porsche in the parking lot, Lorenzo quickly got down from his car, slamming the door. He walked as fast as he could through the hall angrily, not minding the nurses and doctors he bumped, I tried my best to keep up with him but it was almost impossible, I had to run after him. We eventually got to room 87 which Lorenzo barged into.Mrs Alma Hernandez, was unconscious on the hospital bed, she was intubated with a tube inserted into her trachea. She also had IV cannula fixed to her hand and a heart monitor which was beside her bed monitoring her heart beat. Alexa was sitting on the chair besides the bed, holding her mother's hand as tears fell out from her eyes."What happened to her?" Lorenzo asked in an angry tone but Alexa remained quiet, trying to stop herself from crying"God damnit.. answer me for fuck's sake Alex

I asked with teary eyes, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my mum was standing right in front of me, she wasn't looking hurt in any form, she looked very much healthy and most of all, she was alive "Yes it's me baby" She held both my hands as tear drops effortlessly escaped from her eyes "I've missed you mum... all my life, I prayed to God to bring you and dad back to me" I spoke in a shaky voice, I enjoyed the warmth of her hand on mine "we wouldn't have died in the first place if it wasn't for you" the tone of her voice became harsh"what... what do you mean?" I became confused"You killed your father Jacqueline. What kind of daughter does that? If you hadn't pull that trigger, your father would've come up with something and rescued all three of us" My mother's voice became fierce and loud, I didn't know who this person was anymoreI instantly removed my hands from hers.
