Chapter 28

LORENZO POV

“The Marketing Director has already reviewed this plan President. And we would like to know what you think of it.” One of the employees called out from the end of the boardroom desk. I was sitting at the head of it with my big giant seat nodding my head while my mind was evidently out of this place.

“Hmmm.” I hummed softly and they passed the folder to Valerie who quickly opened it and presented it before my eyes. I went through the first page and turned to the second. Suddenly, my phone vibrated inside my pocket and I quickly fished it out! The text was from Vernero and it read:

Especially because she managed to escape under Ciello’s watchful eye. Now mind you, Ciello was our best man, and Vernero’s right hand! But our little kitten managed to run off right under his nose.

Seriously?” My voice was above a yell as I screamed my lungs out in the police station. I have actually managed to catch everyone’s attention and hoped that they could be of some help. But ever since I spoke out that I was Leigh-Ari and was kidnapped by Lorenzo and Vernero, things seemed to take a turn for the worst. I

I just want to get out of this place before they figure out where I am. They are going to kill me. Please!” My voice was right on the verge of breaking. No matter how strong I was, this was just way too draining. I was fighting against forces I underestimated and honestly, I was losing.
