“Then where do you want to go with me?” Lorenzo asked, as he leaned in on the counter and placed the books in her hands.
Zoey looked at those two books which were written by her and lifted her head to meet his eyes,” I don’t want to go anywhere with you.” She said as she started to scan those books.
“Can you at least tell me what you want?” Lorenzo leaned in as he whispered to her.
“Your total is 63.32 sir. Cash or card?” she said as she smiled at him. Not a real smile. Business smile.
Lorenzo got his card from his jacket and gave it to her. She swipes his card and packs those books in a bag and places them on the counter. She holds the bill with his card to give to him. He held her hand with his card and pulled her toward him, “I will keep coming for you. I will do anything for you to make you mine.” he whispered in her ears.
Zoey flinched as she pulled her hand away from his grip.
Then he got his books and turned to walk away. Before reaching the door, he turned to see her,” Thank you for saving me last time. Tesoro mio.” he shouted as he went outside.
Zoey held her hand in the same way he held her as looking at his back.
She never feels like this to any man in touch. His touch was soft like he held a flower in his hand.
“What are you looking at?” Mia asked her from behind. Zoey is shocked as she turns to see her and says ‘nothing’. Then she starts to work on the entries.
Zoey locks her shop at 7pm and lets Mia home. She gets her laptop from her staff locker room and takes it with her to her home. She places her laptop on the couch and goes to make dinner with Lily. Lily talks about her classmates with her mother. Then they eat their lunch and wash dishes together. Lily says she has morning class, so she is going to sleep and gives her mother a hug.
After Lily leaves, Zoey cleans up the house and takes her laptop with her to her room. She placed her laptop on her bed and went to take a bath and change into nightwear as she sat on her bed and opened her laptop and typed Lorenzo morelli on Google and clicked on search.
“So, she says no to you”, Alonzo asked as he laughed at Lorenzo who had been holding a glass of whiskey in his hand.
“You know I can kill you. Stop laughing.”, Lorenzo glared at his friend as he drank in one shot.
Alonzo raised his hand above the defense and again laughed at Lorenzo. He had been laughing at him since Lorenzo told him about the meeting with Zoey. If he had not been his friend, he would have killed him.
“So, what are you going to do now? I think you should leave her. There were plenty of fish in your ocean. I don’t know why your obsessed with her,” Alonzo says, and drank his drink.
“Even I say you won’t understand. So, let's get home.” He said as he got up and dragged his friend by his shoulder. As they get out of their private bar, their cars are waiting for them. Lorenzo pulled Alonzo toward his driver and went to get into his car. On the way to his mansion he was thinking about zoey only. He pulls out his phone from his pocket and looks at the photos of Zoey.
He looks at the document on his seat next to him which contains Zoey's background information. He had been trying to search for information about her around the whole world, and still he couldn’t find anything before ten years.
It’s like information about her is magically lost. She has been lost or looked different from ten years ago. He even sent her photos and information about her to his friend who’s in Australia to get something, but it’s like she has never been in that place. He can't find a single trace of her.
As he reached his mansion, he went into his room and took a bath and slept in his bed and thought about Zoey.
