♞—Lorenzo I slammed Niko's door and strode inside, I threw the files onto his desk and faced the window, raking a frustrated hand through my hair. I just saw the woman I love getting eye-raped by every single pervert in the nightclub downstairs and it fucked me up. It fucked with my sanity, it fucked with my emotions, it fucked with my brain. I have no idea what she was trying to prove, coming here all dressed up like a fucking barbie and then getting felt up by random men. No... Not my problem...Delilah Regina is not my fucking problem anymore! Delilah Regina means nothing to me... Delilah Regina can... can fuck off! Or else she is only going to hurt herself! "What did I do?" Niko asked, eyeing the crumpled-up file. "Nothing!" I snapped, pacing back and forth in his office, I'm not going back out there, I'm not, or else I'll lose my shit. Niko laughed, he fucking laughed. I glanced at him, my eyebrows furrowed and my frown deepened, "What's so funny?" Niko waved his hand

♕—Delilah My head felt so heavy as I slowly opened my eyes. My brain throbbed against my skull, peeling one eyelid open at a time, an unfamiliar bed and bedroom came into my view, and I frowned before my eyes went to another person present in the room. Lorenzo..."I slept comfortably the whole night if that's what you meant," he said to someone on the phone and I shot up from the bed. He was here, Lorenzo was here. Oh my god, oh my god, Aurora. I looked down at my clothes and noticed only a white shirt on me. I spent the night here, I remember Giuseppe being an ass to me and then I puked on Lorenzo. And then nothing... Oh my god, Aurora! Joseph was with her, he must have taken care of her. He probably fed her formula the whole night, I wasn't so alarmed for her safety because Joseph and Virginia loved my daughter like their own. I felt Lorenzo walking towards me and I stilled freezing in my spot, he stopped just beside the edge of the bed, way too close, close enough for me to g

♕—Delilah He stomped out of the house an hour ago without a word of explanation. Not even a glance in my direction or a fight. All he did was kiss Aurora's head before leaving, and just tell me that he would be back later to see his daughter again. I was so mad! So mad at him! So damn mad! Idiot! He is an idiot! What is he thinking?! If that's what he expects... he expects us to become exemplary parents to Aurora and nothing more than that then I will be just that. I won't let him ever come close to me, he can enter here, spend time with our daughter, and get the hell out. That's all I am going to permit him.Putting Aurora back to sleep, I walked out of the room and was met with Joseph and Virginia's surprised faces. I ignored them and moved to the kitchen to cook something for dinner. They both followed me inside as I took out the ingredients to make dinner, before they could ask me anything about Lorenzo, I turned to them, "What?" They both glanced at one another before fac

♞—Lorenzo I decided to go back to my apartment to get another shower. I don't know how I will adjust to this, being near Aurora after I had spent the day in tunnels or the warehouse. The people I tortured, killed, or bled in my life, I have never batted an eye for them but now I was a father. I can't go near Aurora with their germs all over me. It was my second shower in a single day, yet I was as eager to make myself presentable for my little princess as if it were my first. She had me wrapped around her tiny little finger without even realizing her power over me. I can honestly say that I had never put so much effort into my own appearance for anyone ever before.I freshened up and wore nice clothes because I wanted to take Aurora and Delilah out of the house for the day, where all three of us will be alone so I could talk to her. Maybe, apologize for being harsh but I seriously wanted to forget about all that shit. I think I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life, leaving all

♕—Delilah "Oh my god, I'm so sorry—" the words got stuck in my throat as I looked at the man's face. The beautiful scarred face... Oh my god... Did he set this all up? I blinked, not saying another word as I looked up at him and he looked down at me. My gaze dropped to the unfortunate stain on his immaculate white shirt. "You ruined my shirt!" he snapped, and my eyes snapped back to his face. An involuntary smile crept up my lips no matter how hard I tried to suppress it. Oh my god, what do I do next? Lorenzo was fully into his character, it was so funny because I never thought I'd see him acting. He raised an eyebrow as if asking me to say something, so I did... shaking my head. "It was an accident!" I said to him, "And you just wasted my coffee. I have had such a bad night, my head hurts, I'm late to work and now I don't even have coffee!" "You burned my chest?" he snapped. My gaze darted between his chest and eyes, did I really burn his chest? The coffee was really hot, I
