Semua Bab Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle : Bab 11 - Bab 20

~VIVIENNEMy head was reeling. I couldn't believe all that had just happened and was still happening. I had made elaborate plans just to attend this engagement throw it into chaos. And it had played out well until... until...!Until he showed up!This devil of a man, Lorenzo... He was a Blackwell just like my ex-husband Marco. He had appeared like a man out of a fantasy story and made me slip out of my mind. His appearance alone was so shocking that I was destabilised. I unknowingly became like a sheep around him. His presence had brought an unusual atmosphere to the entire hall and the way he handled Marco's mother was jaw dropping. I knew Clara very well to know that not even her husband could handle or dismiss her in the way that Lorenzo did. Even Marco was reduced to appear like a foolish teenager in front of him.His words and actions made me grow quiet and want to submit to him subconsciously. His eyes peered into my soul and evoked all sorts of desires in my mind and my bod

~LORENZO She was stunning even when she was mad. It was cute. Her mild-fruity perfume that was as seductive as she was attractive drifted into my nostrils, making me super aware of her presence and easing the remnant annoyance in my chest that had been caused by my stupid nephew. Thinking back about the moment he came to the table I sat at with Vivienne, he was clearly trying to provoke me. If he hadn't been my nephew, Eric would have made sure he was dealt with for disrespecting me. After all, he was always there watching and waiting for my instructions. He was the executor who carried out my orders. In the underworld, no one dared to disrespect me, especially not to my face. They would live in fear of me for the rest of their lives. I had wondered what gave my nephew the balls to challenge me. It was a few moments later I understood; he didn't know the extent of what I could do. Since I had come to threaten them at the ancestral mansion five years ago, I had done nothing and go

~Vivienne's POV I couldn't remember giving him my address. But somehow, he knew where I was staying and drove me there. I was dumbstruck. How did he find out? Since when had he known?He looked into my eyes squarely and opened his mouth, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as he spoke. "You're confused because I brought you to your house?""......"I wanted to open my mouth to ask him 'how.' But my head was spinning in disbelief. It was like I could feel something slipping through my fingers. Something I had been trying so hard to get a hold of the whole time:My control of the whole situation. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. It almost felt like all my plans had been ruined. Like I was an animal who had become prey to a hunter. "You badly wanted to get out of my car. Now it's like you don't want to leave?" My mind came to an abrupt halt. I hardened my expression and glared at Lorenzo. I couldn't let him do as he pleased and mess with me anyhow. "I don't want to see y

~ Lorenzo's POV 'Why am I going to her house right now?'This was one of the many thoughts swarming in my head as I made my way to the floor of the hotel that Vivienne's Penthouse was located. The last time I saw her was the previous day. But I had been constantly checking my watch all through, wanting to fulfil my promise to see her again. The time rolled out so slowly that it seemed like I had been waiting a whole week. It was already evening now and I knew she was at home. I managed to squeeze the information out of Eric before I headed out. I remembered a conversation I had with him just the evening of the previous day..."Hey, Eric. I want to go see her right now."He tilted his head and his eyes flickered with interest. "Her? You mean Vivienne? Why? Are you getting obsessed with that girl?"I snorted. "Hhat! Obsessed? Me? I'm not like a young man who can't control himself after having a crush." I sounded very confident. But the deadpan expression on his face let me know he

~Vivienne's POVI leaned against the door after closing it, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. The rose was still clutched in my hand, its petals soft against my trembling fingers.What had I just done?I had just turned down a dinner invitation from the most dangerously attractive man I'd ever met. The same man who had occupied my thoughts for five years. The same man who made my body respond to him like he had some kind of magnetic pull over me."Stupid, stupid, stupid..." I muttered to myself, sliding down to sit on the floor with my back against the door.I brought the rose to my nose again, inhaling its sweet scent. It was beautiful. Everything about Lorenzo was beautiful... his face, his voice, his presence. The way he'd also stumbled over his words when asking me out made my heart soften.But he was dangerous. A Mafia. A man I should stay far away from.I stood up and walked up to my coffee table, gently placing the rose on it. I looked at it, recalling the disappointed look
