Chapter 13

LORENZO

Once I was behind the safety of closed doors of my apartment; I let loose. I clutched my stomach tightly and laughed! I laughed so hard that I had to crawl to the couch and plant myself face first; then continue laughing! Never, in my wildest dream had I imagined that my very first encounter, after a decade, with Leigh would be that way!

Man she was feisty! Holy pregnant cow.

If I survived those minute without revealing who I was, then I deserved an Oscar. The sudden ding-dongo n the door had me pausing the call with Verzi. I walked to the door, yanked it open to find three police officer.

The said man left a note which was rather disturbing. We had informed her to quickly call us if anything unusual happens. But we didn’t know that the said man was you.

And just because it’s ME not some lowly commoner, you won’t take actions against me.
