Chapter 46

LORENZO POV

Arriving at the castle, it took me a heartbeat to climb the stairs to the west wing. I was a heaving mess with my eyes wide open, and my nose flaring as I tried to breathe all the air I could possibly master.

The thought of what might have happened when the mines went off ripped all the air out of m y lungs. No amount of oxygen could make up for the burn inside of me,

I was fuming. But to top it all, I was weak in the knees. The fear was heady on my mind and

senses.

Upon arriving in the west wing, I kicked Ari’s bedroom door open to find it empty.

“They are in the medicine room, boss,” Raquel informed as she emerged from the closet holding pieces of Ari’s clothes.

I gave her a simple nod and took off again. It didn’t take me an age to arrive in the medicine room which was on the other side of the castle, 3 floors down.

I had had all the energy when I was coming, but standing in front of the closed door of the medicine room, I felt powerless. Feeble. I felt inanimate. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door that slowly creaked open to reveal the inside of the room. When I got a clear view of the inside, I found her sitting with her back against the giant pillow, her right hand in Verzi’s. They both looked up and Ari gave me a small smile.

“Look who’s here.” She wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

At that moment, the relief I have never felt before, the pain that had engulfed my senses when I thought that she had died, the promises of the future, the helplessness when I thought she was gone, they all consumed me whole. Creating one giant ball of rage. Pure rage.

Without further thought, I stormed inside and yanked Vernero from his chair, then landed a strong punch right where his cheek connected with a bone. The blow took him off guard and sent him flying across the room where he landed on his ass. I charged to him again, followed by Ari’s scream

“Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!” Ari screamed from her bed. I gave her one stink eye and refocused my attention on Vernero who was getting up from the floor.

WE

Once he was at his full height, he flexed his muscles and grinned, revealing his bloodied teeth. Motherfucker still had time to grin!

“She could have died.” I thundered aiming for another blow somewhere in his guts. But he was quick to dodge it and whisked his arm around my torso, then planted his knee in mine instead, eliciting a loud groan that rumbled around the entire room.

“GUYS STOP IT.” Ari’s panicked scream sounded from somewhere across the room. Verzi’s kick had rendered me senseless for split second.

I pulled off from his grasp, my elbow making contact with his groin causing him to stagger backward. But quickly found his footing and lunged for my head, then smashed it against his knee for how many times? I don’t know.

“VERNERO STOP IT.” extra pair of hands wrapped around his that were tightly pulling on the strands of my hair. The kicking stopped, and so did his hold in my hair. And then he pulled m e up straight and pushed me back, causing me to fall back on my ass.

ass

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Ari yelled at him, or me. I don’t know.

“He started it.” Vernero pointed at me accusingly and Ari turned to look at me. His nerve!

I decided to play oblivious to his accusation and relaxed on the floor while wiping the blood off my face.

“Why the hell did you hit him?” She questioned ME with a very pitched voice.

“His stupid system could have killed you,” I replied flatly and got up to a standing position, then groaned when a sharp pain shot in my abdomen where he landed his kick. Yahp! He kicked the shit out of me.

“It was for her safety you asshole,” Vernero countered in a neutral tone.

“Just shut up. Both of you. Shut the hell up okay?” She was so furious and so beautiful at the same time.

She was still alive. She was still here. With us.

“Sit down.” She instructed folding her arms across her chest. No one seemed to make a move and the look on her face turned from angry, to insanely furious.

“Lorenzo?”

“Yes, Tesoro.”

“SIT DOWN!” She commanded through clenched teeth and I couldn’t help but obey. I walkedt o the bed and slouched myself on it.

Then she turned to Vernero who silently walked to the chair on the far end of the room and perched himself. Unlike me, he let his mouth bleed without bothering to wipe the disgusting redness off his face.

“Lorenzo, why did you hit Vernero?” She questioned once again and I just stared at her, without replying.

“I am going to say this now, and I won’t ever say it again. If you guys ever pull such a stunt again, this…” She pointed to her chest. “you will never have it. You claim to love and want to protect me. You told me I should teach you how to love me, how the fuck am I supposed to do

that when the two of you are knocking each other’s teeth out? I care for you. Both of you.” What? She cares for us? That music to my ears. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I love the both of you. But can you once, just behave like normal people? Because you guys are fucking abnormal. You are crazy. You are retarded. And I mean the two of you.” She turned to look at me.

“Lorenzo, you were wrong to hit Vernero, and you Vernero shouldn’t have fought back.”

“So I should have let him hit the crap out of me without fighting back?” Vernero argued causing me to roll my eyes.

“Look what you did. Look at his face. Look at YOUR face. What am I even supposed to do with you when you are like this?” Leigh-Ari continued fuming between us. In some crazy way, her angry voice somehow lulled the pain in my abdomen.

“Listen, both of you. It is my fault for going into Dark Woods. Raquel told me I shouldn’t go in there but I did. Out of curiosity. In case you didn’t know, it was Vernero who found me after the bombs went off. I understand both of you were scared. And I am sorry. But this, this fight won’t do us any good. So please, just stop okay?” she said in a much softer voice. She looked s o beautiful as she took the mistress duty to the next level.

“Okay, Tesoro,” I replied with a small smile.

“Good Now, apologize to each other.”

“WHAT?” Vernero and I barked simultaneously, shock and disbelief pure in our voices and faces. This wasn’t happening. In all my life, I have never apologized to Vernero. Not the day I accidentally broke his new guitar in Poland. And he never said sorry to me. Since the beginning of forever!

“You should both acknowledge your mistakes, and apologize.” She repeated herself very clearly. I had thought that maybe I misheard what she said.

“Oh hell no.” Vernero retorted ripping from his seat and charging towards the door.

“Vernero Cattanio get back to your seat.” Ari’s loud angry voice stopped him dead in the tracks. He turned and glanced at him.

“Sit!” She pointed to the chair while she angrily glared at her. I could literally see the smoke coming out of her ears.

“I am not apologizing to this dicktud.” Vernero spat,

“I said, SIT! DOWN!” She drew closer to him, her feet taking their precious time to touch the ground

“He should apologize first,” Vernero said instead, causing me to scoff.

“In your dreams,” I said through my teeth and continued my work of cleaning the blood off m y face. When did he get so good with fistfights? I mean he was the gun guy.

“What was that?” Ari’s sharp voice came my way and I looked up to find her looking at me.

“I said in his dreams. If he didn’t install that stupid system, this wouldn’t be happening.” Ari just stayed quiet, looking at me with disbelief.

“See that? Why the hell should I be the one to apologize when he doesn’t want to?” And with that, he turned and yanked the door open.

“Fuck you.” I called out behind him.

“Fuck you too.” And then he was gone, leaving Leigh-Ari very helpless in the middle of the medicine room.

I really wished her luck in getting us to make up! She needed it.
