LORENZO'S POV
I saw the cars drive into the compound. My aunty was here. I had to go down to meet her.
Grabbing a shirt , I left the room and started going towards the stairs. I got to the rails and I saw her.
The most beautiful girl I had ever set my eyes on. Looking at her somehow enraged me..I slowly walked to the stairs unnoticed. I wanted to have a better view. She was so innocently hot!
She had a stunning……. round face, and her curly red hair complemented her beauty. I had a thing for red haireds and her body was so effortlessly hot. Sonia was just as pretty.
That was when I stopped.
“Lorenzo's aid”
My aid?. My aunty always had this way of making me nuts. I didn't ask for any aid. Especially now that Sonia died. I didn't want anybody close to me at all.
“I don't want her” I blurted out. Everyone turned and I started coming downstairs.
She turned and I got captivated.
She had this gorgeous big hazel eyes that shone really brightly and her lips. Plump and really pink. Seeing her made my body react in a type of way.
I definitely knew I didn't want her here or I would do something I didn't want to do.
“Lorenzo, my dear” my aunty said. Her tricks won't work this time.
“Aunty, I don't want her here”
“Why?”
“ Take her away, you know I don't like repeating myself”
“She's here to help with Leo”
“Leo is doing just fine” I was so pissed.
“Doing fine I see”
I could hear the sarcasm in her voice.
“He hasn't spoken a word since his mother died”
True. Leo needed help. We've taken him to different doctors in the world but nobody seemed to know why.
But why her?
“Why her?.. can she make Leo talk?”
“She can help Leo”
I stared at my aunty. She had so much confidence in this girl. Was she some type of magician?
I looked at the girl again. She had this terrified look and on her face , I couldn't help but admit that she was cute.
“Why her?”
“She's staying”
“This is my house!”
“Stop behaving like a prisoner in it”
“She's red haired”
I noticed everyone looking at her. Sonia was red haired too. Was this one of the reasons why my aunty wanted her to stay.?
“Well, that is not a problem “
My aunty was getting on my nerves.
“Get out of my sight” I told the girl. She was scared now. I wanted to put so much fear in her so that she won't even agree to stay but then she relaxed. She didn't move.
“Take her to her room ,Theresa”
She was taken away and I felt calm for a bit.
I allowed her stay. If my aunty wouldn't take her, I'll frustrate her to go .
I slowly went to the winebar and took a bottle of vodka. I opened a pack of cigarette there and lit it up, still holding the bottle.
“You need to ask me for permission before doing things like this”
“I know you wouldn't agree. I'll remove her if she doesn't prove useful”
“Who is she?”
“One of the girls from our south base”.
Wait, she even brought a stranger.
“What if she's a spy”
“She's not, she's from the English and one of Eyes’s men specifically brought her. Her aunt sold her..I decided to bring her here and she has the same birthday with you, same day, same month “
“Who?”
“Elena”
“I don't trust her”
“I never said you should and by the way, you don't trust anyone”
True. I don't even trust myself alone, so I can't trust anybody. There was an exception. My aunt.
She was the mother I never got to have. I had a mother. Once. She died. From an operation, my father tried to save her and was shot as well.
“I don't ever want to see her near me”
“You won't” she smiled and took the vodka from me. She drank a large amount at a gulp.
“You said there was a problem at the south base”
“Yes, it was Capo Willy”
I smirked. I knew it was him.
“He led the confiscation and told Baratheon to take the fall”
“I told you to be careful of those you call your right hand men”
“You're right” she took a another drink from the bottle.
“People at the north base complained to me about the weapons too”
“We need to flush some people out.”
“Take Capo Gion with you, make sure Eyes is present”
“I should go to the north wing”.
“Yes, go there and pretend to make peace with Lord Diogo and know his men. Then go to our north base and check our men.”
“Why shouldn't I check our men first?”
“Diogo would definitely get news that you're around and when you come to him after visiting our base, he'll be suspicious and might not grant you access. Coming to him first would make him think you came to the north wing just for him, he won't really bother about your whereabouts after his tents.”
I could see the smile on my aunt's face.
“You're thinking like your father”
I heaved a sigh.
“Emotional talks come later. I will resume office tomorrow “
“No”
“I need to travel to France, he's there”
“Who?”
“The person I've been searching for” I poured myself a drink in a cup.
“You're keeping me in serious suspense”
“Sonia's killer”
“You've been chasing him for six months”
“I would get successful this time. I've held him hostage”
She smiled and patted my back. “Bring him back so that we could cut his balls out”
I was bent on finding out who had killed my wife. The only person I definitely loved with my whole heart . Her killer doesn't know what's coming for him. He was about to have a taste of death in a different way. I would make sure I chop every bit of his body before he dies.
“Make sure you have some rest” my aunty hugged him and started walking towards the door. Then she turned. “And she stays, don't send her away.” With this, she left.
Was she reading my mind?
I dragged myself to Leo's room. He was awake. Just drawing on a sketch pad.
“Leo”
He heard me but didn't look up. “Leo” I called again.
He looked at me this time and continued drawing.
I squatted and touched his hair.
He missed his mother. That, I was sure of.
“Daddy misses you ,you know”
He looked at me smiled a bit . Then he came to me. I carried him and we went to the bed.
I lay beside him as I covered the blanket on him.
We both missed her.
But that girl, I just couldn't bring myself to allow her come near me. Asides from the way she made me feel. I just disliked her.
