51. In control

LORENZO~•~I’d almost forgotten the reason I kept Isla around, but she reminded me this morning.I thought after what transpired the previous night, she was going to avoid me again. She always did whenever there was any form of intimacy between us, but somehow this happened to be the push she needed. She’d realized she was useful to me and even if she didn’t know how, she wanted to make sure I treated her as such instead of a pawn.It kind of made me respect her.She most likely thought she was finally in control. She probably thought she was making these decisions because that was what she wanted. If only she knew this was my initial plan for her. Along the way, I’d gotten distracted with… her. I stepped into my office. The place was still in the same condition as it was last night. Papers were thrown around and the desk was a vivid reminder of what had happened.I let out a sigh as I started picking up the papers on the ground. So caught up with Isla, I’d forgotten to inform my h

52. Schoolwork

ISLA~•~It had been more than a week since my birthday party ended and today was my first day back at college. I’d been putting it off, convincing myself I could ignore the outside world but classes didn’t stop and deadlines wouldn’t wait for me. I couldn’t exactly disappear forever since it was my last year in school and I had less than two months left. Exams were coming up, and while sometimes, I just wanted to forget about school, one thing my parents wanted from me was a degree. I walked into the lecture hall, backpack on one shoulder. I hadn’t seen Sophia in the parking lot nor had I seen her in the hallways. I didn’t even know if I wanted to see her or not. She’d asked me for space. Was a week enough?As though my thoughts conjured her up, she appeared at the door. Her eyes scanned the classroom, settling on me. But she barely kept her gaze on me for more than a second. As though she didn’t see me sitting at the front of the hall, she walked past my seat. I watched as she wen

53. Training

ISLA~•~By the time I got home, the sun was starting to set. During the entire ride back home, I kept replaying the way Sophia walked away from me like I didn’t exist. I told myself that I didn’t care. I told myself it was for the best but deep down, I was mad. Mad at her for not talking to me about what she saw. Mad at myself for letting her into Lorenzo’s home. Especially mad at Lorenzo for… well, everything.When I stepped into the training room, he was already there. He was in a black t-shirt, paired with black joggers. He was testing his aim with a throwing knife, hitting the target at the other end of the room with lazy precision.He didn’t look up when I entered. Instead, he threw another knife just as nonchalantly as the last. It hit the middle of the target. “You’re late.”“I had classes.”“Classes that ended at least, three hours ago.”I bit the inside of my cheek. Well, he had given me my freedom, hadn’t he? “Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?”“When I’m waiting f

54. Unpredictable

LORENZO~•~I watched her leave, my eyes unashamedly stuck on her ass. The tights she’d worn for the day’s training did nothing to help either.Ricardo was right. I was fucked.I had assured Ricardo it was a one-time thing. I had told Isla that now that sex was out of the way, we could focus on what really mattered so why the hell was I getting a boner for her?I had gotten too used to teasing her that I had forgotten the effect she had on me. I was too busy trying to get a reaction out of her to remember what being close to her did to me.While training, it took a whole lot in me not to push her against the nearest wall and kiss her senseless. I’d agreed to train her, hoping to exist in the same space as her for a few hours every day since she liked avoiding me, but it was only the first day and it was starting to backfire already.She already looked good. She looked even better in her gym wear. Being around her made me feel like a high school virgin.I was spending too much time at

55. Club

LORENZO~•~The club was packed tonight, louder and hotter than usual. I could barely hear myself think over the bass. The red and white lights flashed across the room as Ricardo slid another drink in my direction.Ricardo was already in his element, his arm draped around a brunette who looked like she hadn’t blinked since she spotted him. He leaned in to whisper something in her ear and she laughed. It sounded high-pitched and fake, but he didn’t seem to mind. He wasn’t hanging around her for conversations anyway.He spared me a glance. “You look like you’re at a funeral.”“I’m watching,” I muttered, sipping from the glass in front of me.“Watching what?” Ricardo scoffed. “You should be forgetting.” He emphasized. “You invited me here.”“And it seems like you’re having a good time.” I gestured to the lady beside him.“I am.” He grinned. “But I can’t have a good time while you’re here brooding.” He beckoned for a waitress. “Two more glasses. And get Nadia here.”A few minutes later, N

56. On purpose

ISLA~•~I’d left for school around seven in the morning, but since my second lecture got canceled, I was back home as early as eleven in the morning.The house was unusually quiet when I got home. It was even quieter than it was in the morning. The air was tense as though everyone was holding their breath.The guards stationed around looked stiff, eyes fixed straight ahead. It made me wonder if something bad had happened in the three hours I’d been gone.I got my answer a few seconds later.The door was closed but Lorenzo’s voice echoed from inside. “Who the hell authorized that drop?”I opened the door to the house, pausing when I caught sight of him in the living room, facing a few of his men.“I-I thought you said–“ the guilty one looked like he wanted to disappear into thin air.“You thought wrong.” Lorenzo snapped, cutting him off. He took a step closer to the man who had spoken and the man shifted back. “I said wait for my call. That shipment wasn’t supposed to leave the dock u

57. Avoidance

ISLA ~•~ Lorenzo has been avoiding me. At least, that was how it felt. After my first session with Lucia, I hardly saw him around the house. Normally, I’d catch glimpses of him in the hallway or the kitchen, but for the past few days, it was like he had disappeared completely. I was usually the one avoiding him and whenever I didn’t go out of my way to make sure we didn’t cross paths, we always did. Greg said he was busy but that wasn’t exactly new information. Lorenzo was always busy but there was a difference between being busy and being gone. By Thursday, I was done pretending his absence didn’t bother me. Apparently, he’d been snappy with everyone lately, but I would prefer it if he snapped at me rather than completely ignoring me. It wasn’t like I missed him or anything. I just… didn’t like not knowing why he was radio silent. A small insecure part of me thought it was because he had gotten what he wanted. It was very small but it existed anyway. He’d been teasin

58. Silence

LORENZO ~•~ The first few days blurred. Work filled up the spaces she used to occupy. There were endless reports, endless calls, and endless files spread across my desk. I went through them one after the other, only stopping to eat or sleep. It worked for a while. Until it didn’t. The house was quiet. Too quiet in my opinion. I’d only brought two men along with me since I never planned to stay this long. I used to like quiet places until I came across Isla who didn’t fail to talk back whenever she could. “Boss,” Romano's voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up at him. “The container had been cleared. They’re waiting for your approval to send it out.” I nodded, giving him the go-ahead. Romano was able to handle most businesses by himself but he always liked to report to me first. “Double the surveillance when it lands. Nikolai has his eye on my goods.” I’d crossed paths with Nikolai once after Isla’s birthday. He seemed to think I owed him for humiliating his brother. I coul

59. Truth

ISLA~•~In the month Lorenzo was away, I’d made a lot of progress on training. I could throw knives now. My throws weren’t precise but it still stuck to the target. My punch could hurt even if it could easily be blocked and I was just starting to learn how to use guns. Aside from training, I’d been very busy with school. Exams had been tough but without Lorenzo around to distract me, I was almost sure I’d been acing them.It was my final paper and I was feeling pretty good about it. I was tired of school. At first, I looked forward to it because it was the last piece of normalcy I had left but after Lorenzo’s life also bled onto that, I hated the place. I didn’t have any friends. Sophia had completely abandoned me. Ryan said hi to me now and then, but without Sophia there to continue the conversation with him, our talks were very short. He still flirted with me whenever he couldn’t but he couldn’t keep talking to an unresponsive person.I couldn’t even blame him.I had just stepped

60. Impressive

LORENZO~•~I had no intention of avoiding Isla when I came back, but it just happened.She was angry. That much I could tell. I could see it in the way she looked at me whenever we passed each other in the hallways. In the way she ate quickly whenever I was around. I couldn’t even blame her.I’d left without telling her and when she confronted me about it, my words had been harsh. It was only right for her to be mad at me.Besides, her anger was doing her good. In the month I was away, her stamina and core strength had improved. Her stance was great and she had learnt a few reliable strikes. She wasn’t perfect but with the way she was spending all of her time training, it wouldn’t be long before she would be.Even when Lucia wasn’t teaching her, she was practicing on her own. I wanted to interfere, but I wasn’t certain she would even listen to me.Regardless, I found my feet leading me to the training grounds. She wasn’t in her room nor was she in the study. I’d also checked the gym
