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!

But one thing I realized was how beautiful she was. My little Ati had grown into a full woman! She had curves that would make earth stop in its orbit; she had a smile that could light up the whole world! A lot has changed in the past decade, but she was still her. My beautiful angel in human flesh.

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.
