~Lorenzo~

My mind is racing. Last night she told me she loved me and then I broke her heart like an idiot. I followed her after she ran upstairs and watched as she slammed her bedroom door closed locking it. Only then did I move to stand in front of her door. I stood there for hours listening to her sobs on the other side. Don't cry over me princess I'm not worth your pretty tears. With every sob my heart broke further.

I stood there in a frozen trance until the sobs quieted and her room went completely silent. Only then did I open her room door and see that she had fallen asleep on the floor still sitting up. Her cheeks were flushed and stained with tears and I moved my hand to wipe them away but stopped ,moving my hand back to my side, when I remembered that I was the reason for her tears.

I had picked her up and moved her to her bed tucking her in. I wanted to stay with her but decided against it. My mind was a mess and my chest ached when I remembered the sound of her crying. I went back to my room that didn't feel like mine anymore. Now it just felt lonely. I didn't sleep at all last night.

So now here I was. Sleep deprived , moody and my mind was made up. I wanted nothing more than to tell her I loved her but last night when I looked in her eyes I realised that could never happen. I saw it when I looked at her. She had hope. Hope for the perfect man who would keep her happy , and I can't be that man for her.

I walk down into the kitchen and am greeted by Kai's smiling face. Idiot why is he so happy?

"Heyy" he says as I brush past him moving over to the coffee.

"What do you want" I snap turning around to look at him.

"Wow you look like shit." He says and I don't have to look in a mirror to know he's probably right.

"Thanks" I groan and then freeze as I see Madelyn walking up behind Kai.

"Hey sweetheart" Kai says to her and I glared at him. Her hair is washed and she has light makeup on but I can still see the red rims under her eyes.

"I need to talk to you" she says brushing Kai off.

"Of course" I say but my eyes don't leave her face. She clears her throat and I quickly dart my eyes at the wall. I make my way to my office signalling for her to follow behind me.

She enters my office closing the door behind her and I move towards her cupping her face but to my surprise she jerks out of my touch. She backs up ,until her back is pressed against the door , putting some space between us.

"I want to leave." She says with her voice deathly steady. Immediately the exhaustion I was feeling is replaced by anger. Leave?

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings last night but you're not leaving." I say sternly.

"I'm sorry if my tone made it seem like a request Mr Armini but it's not. I'm not asking for your permission." She says and my anger only increases.

I move closer slamming my palms on the door behind her trapping her between my arms. I lean in until our faces are almost touching and her breathing picks up.

"I don't care what you want. You're not leaving." I say and anger sparks in her eyes.

"Fuck you" she says and I let out a cold laugh.

"Oh you did. Many many times and you enjoyed every minute of it." I say coldly and she opens her mouth to say something but I cut her off.

"What you're throwing a tantrum because I didn't say I love you?" I say cruelly the words feeling like poison on my tongue. "Grow the fuck up this isn't a fairytale and I'm not your prince charming. I'll admit you were a good fuck but that's it."

It doesn't even feel like I'm talking. I hold my breath when I see her eyes well up with tears. I'm about to move away but then she does something unexpected. She smacks me across the face catching me off guard as a silent tear falls down her face. Pride sparks in my chest. That's right darling hate me. Don't waste your love on me. Hate me. Fight me.

I move away from her and she turns around opening my office door.

"Go to hell Lorenzo." She says before slamming my door shut behind her. I remain silent hearing her run up the stairs before her room door slams shut.

I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I pace around my office imagining how she must feel right now and hating myself.

"Shit shit shit" I mutter under my breath grabbing the lamp next to me and flinging it at the wall. It shattered and I look at it wishing it was my head slamming against the wall instead.

I take a few more breaths trying to calm down. I walk towards my door opening it and scanning the area. I see Kai and call him over. He shuts my door behind him and I continue my pacing.

"Wow you and her do the exact same thing when you're nervous." He says following me as I pace around the room.

"So you told her huh?" He asked and I stop pacing

"No if I told her I'm pretty sure that lamp would have been shattered on my head and not the wall." I say pointing to the broken lamp on the floor.

"Good point" he says and I would smile if I wasn't in such a pissy mood right now.

"Any updates on her father?" I ask him trying to take my mind off what just happened.

"We spotted him in the city. He's been hiding this whole time but he randomly popped up his head two days ago. He's planning something." He says. I already knew he was planning something.

"He can't enter the property without one of our guards catching him. As long as she's here she'll be safe." I say reassuring myself more than him.

"Whatever's going on between you two it'll be ok." He says trying to be comforting.

"Get out" I say and he sighs before leaving. When I hear the door close behind him I immediately dive into my work.

If I can't get my mind off of her by talking about other things then I'll just bury myself in work.

I rub my eyes and they sting from how tired I am. I look at my watch and see that I've been working for 3 hours. The sun set a little while ago and the house is weirdly silent. I get up from my chair stretching my legs until I hear Kai shouting for me upstairs. What the fuck? He shouts my name again and my heart drops. Madelyn.

I run upstairs towards her room door and see Kai walking out of her room looking frantic. I grab his shoulders causing him to stop walking.

"What the fuck is going on?" I ask and he looks at me with panic in his eyes.

"She's not here." He says and my worst fear is confirmed.

"That can't be right. There's no way she could get out of here. Someone would have seen her." I say my voice growing louder.

"That's not all. Alia's gone too. One of the guards saw them leave together." Kai says and I am just about ready to explode.

Those brats. I would never hit a woman but I swear to god when I find these two they're dead. Fine darling you want to play it that way? Let me show you just how much of a monster I can be. ________________________________________________________
