Semua Bab Mafia Men II: Lorenzo's Gilded Cage: Bab 101 - Bab 110

♕—Delilah After dinner, we headed to the central park at a late hour. We took a slow walk, not uttering a word. The darkness was just like it had been on the night we first ventured out, and it had rained. Recollections of that evening came back, it had been something else then, it wasn't anything good, he was just my captor back then I was just his captive, however, this night was completely different.Two days, Delilah, two..."Tonight was..." I trailed off, lost for words, my cheeks ablaze, "It was nice..." "It was, wasn't it?" I nodded, "Thank you for remembering," I said and I knew that he understood what am I talking about. He remembered such tiny detail about me, I didn't even remember telling him that I wanted to go to an amusement park, it was a childish dream. I had seen Disneyland on TV back home but since I was Princess Delilah Regina Gutenberg, amusement parks were beneath me. Lorenzo spotted a quiet, shadowy bench in the corner and drew me toward it, my breaths coming

♞—Lorenzo My head snapped to the side, a faint burn lingered on my cheek, I looked back at her as tears dropped down her chin. Why was she crying? Isn't he what she wanted? Why is she reacting like that? The last two days with her had been different, I wanted to give her the choice of choosing for herself. Because if she wanted to stay with me, I would have done everything in my power to keep her. My gaze flicked back to the blonde asshole who stood protectively behind her, his brows furrowed with concern. I didn't mean for him to see us like that but something inside of me wanted her, an inner urge emerged, wanting to say goodbye to her for what seemed like the last time.Because I know, I just fucking know that she will choose him. That bastard looked like a ken fucking doll compared to me. No matter how much I loathed it, she was meant to be with someone who had no dark secrets, no dark past. Someone like Jack, her filthy stable boy. My chest tightened with apprehension, refus

♕—Delilah "Everything..." I whispered, "He had taken everything from me, Jack, everything..." my eyes burned with the force of the tears that threatened to break free. I gave up! I gave up, Lorenzo, you win! I felt my heart break as I began to cry, uncontrollably sobbing into Jack's shirt. My breath was short with each deep intake of air, and my cries echoed in the confined space. I clung to him like a limp rag doll, my heart beating against his chest."He took away all my hopes and dreams, Jack, every last one of them. Now, I'm left with nothing, no possessions, only a hollow void inside my heart. He stripped away my freedom, invading my physical and mental spaces. He took it all, and it's too much for me to bear. I'm broken... He took everything..." I miss him so deeply it hurts. I cry for the love I held for him, and the way it was taken away from me!He took my heart... He took my heart... He took my heart... These words kept resonating in my head but never left my lips.

♕—Delilah I hung the dress in the bathroom as I turned on the shower. I discarded my undergarment but hastily washed my body. I know where he lives. I know what I want. Everything is as clear as day, I can't move on. I just can't. My hand trembled with excitement as I showered, scrubbing soap over my body and then using the cheap shampoo. I dried myself off with a towel, put on the dress, and stepped outside and into the room. I gave Jack a bright smile before shoving my dirty clothes into another bag. I jumped up and instinctively felt Jack's presence behind me. I felt a sudden chill as he grasped my waist and spun me around, pulling me near him."I apologize for my words, my princess, I have been dealing with immense stress from your father, King Alexander, and Nikolai Costello and his thugs. I understand if my words caused any hurt, and for that, I am truly sorry."I gave it a shot, I genuinely put in the effort to feel something. Whether it was those fluttery emotions or the spa

♞—Lorenzo I sighed regretfully as I entered Niko's mansion, my gun still clutched tightly in my hands. The sight that greeted me was one I loved to see, Niko cradling Massimo with Evangeline seated beside them. Niko's eyes fell on me and the smile vanished as it got replaced by a frowned look. "Lorenzo?" Evangeline's eyes beamed at me with so much warmth, and I adored her deeply. Seeing her made me believe in the impossible because she looked just like Aurora with that ethereal aura of hers. She radiated the same innocence as Aurora had, stealing my breath away. Everything about her reminded me of Aurora, that's why she was so special to me. She was never repulsed by my scars or the killing. After Aurora, she was the only one who really understood me and still held me so dearly. Niko handed Massimo over to Evangeline and stood up, approaching me. He looked deeply into my eyes as if he was deciphering their contents. He was the only one that had ever been able to truly understand
