Chapter 25

LORENZO POV

After our little conversation, things got a little heated when reality settled in that there was no turning back! Leigh-Ari had asked for her phone, Vernero flat out told her no; she looked at me thinking I’d put in a good word for her but I just shrugged and continued drinking my wine.

She had then fled out of the lounge running back to the room she was sleeping; temporarily.

Vemero and I planned to take her to our bedrooms soon. Things were really looking up and I was loving every minute of it.

Vemero turned with a phone in his hand, punched some digits, and then placed it on his ear:

“Valerie, prepare Madam’s room.” He informed shortly and then hung up the call, walked towards me, and perched himself beside me.

“She is pissed.” He called out, deep furrows forming on his forehead.

“She should be. Let’s give her some time.” I interjected giving him a manly slap on his back.

I checked the watch on my hand and realized I was running insanely late.

“I have to go. I am late.” I got up and looked back at him, he had his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but his own voice failed him.

“What?” I chuckled turning fully to face.

“You are leaving her with me?” He asked bewildered.

“Of course. I have to work.” I raised my hands on my sides gesturing to nothing in particular.

“Yeah, I know that. But she hates me.” he pointed to the direction where Leigh Ari took off to.

“No, she doesn’t.” Was he ridiculous?

“She calls me a hooligan for crying out loud. She hates me.” I thinned my eyes and took a step back to the couch, stood in front of him, and just stared down at him, he was being hard on himself and I had to step i n to soothe him, or else someone was going to die.

you are afraid but you got this okay? She is Leigh-Ari. Our girl, Your girl okay? You know what she likes and what she hates, you have known her all your life and you may think that we’ve missed out on 10 years of her life; but now is the chance to make up
