Lorenzo

It is raining a lot. The roads are crowdy and I am stuck in traffic as I drive to the warehouse. I don't remember Seville ever raining this much. It is as if a storm is coming and I hope it doesn't come until the day after Valeria's birthday, which is tomorrow.

The traffic light finally turns green and the cars start to move. I get a message from Sam telling me that they have found Kilian's brother's location. So, we are going tonight to get him.

I finally arrive at the warehouse and park my car. I reach the door fully drenched in water.

Making my way to the basement where everyone is, I greet the members along the way. I feel they don't do anything here, just stand in the hallway and talk. I doubt they even leave the warehouse if it is not for family reasons.

"Good, you are here," Sam says. "Roberto is currently at the Fallen Casino. What do you want us to do?"

"Send one or two of our spies to seduce him, then get him here."

"Okay, boss."

Johnny and Sam, along with a couple of other men, leave the room. I wanted to go with them, but I'd rather think of Valeria and speak to her. Besides, I don't want to go to a casino because Valeria will have my head.

That reminds me, I want to propose to her soon. I know it is too soon for that, but I know what I want and I hope she does too. I love her and I can't imagine my life without her.

After a few hours, I receive a call from Johnny telling me that they got Roberto, and are coming back to the warehouse. I honestly didn't expect them to be that fast, but I guess Roberto is just that easy.

I wait in the basement till they arrive, walking around in circles like a crazy man. I do that when I am bored.

Finally, after a few minutes, Johnny and Sam show up carrying an unconscious Roberto. They place him on the chair and tie him up.

"You finished fast," I point out, looking at Roberto.

"Yeah...he was too easy, man. Even I could have seduced him," Johnny replies, shaking his head.

Sam and I laugh at what he said.

I take out my phone and capture a picture of Roberto. I then send it to Sam. He is the best hacker here.

"I sent it to you, Sam. Do your thing and make sure the photo reaches Kilian."

"Okay, Enzo."

I cringe. "Don't call me that."

"What is wrong with Enzo? I always call you that."

"Well, not anymore. Valeria calls me that now. It is weird when you do."

He rolls his eyes at me and I glare at him.

Sam leaves while Johnny stays behind to help me rough Roberto up a little.

I take out the scissors from the table and stand in front of Roberto.

"Wake him up," I tell Johnny, who nods excitedly.

He gets a bucket of water and drops it on Roberto, waking him up instantly. He looks around with alarmed eyes until his eyes are set on me. I smirk as his eyes widen in fear.

"Good morning, sunshine."

"Who are you and why am I here?" His deep voice echoes through the empty room.

"I see you got straight to the point. Well, I have a bone to pick with your brother...well, I want to kill your brother is the right thing to say I guess."

"You are crazy to think that my brother cares about me," he chuckles, making me look at him in amusement.

"We shall see." I smile, pulling his hair.

"What are you doing!" he screams as he sees the scissors in my hand.

"I don't like your hair, Roberto," I say as I start cutting his hair.

"Leave it, you moron!" he yells, trying to move away from my hand.

"You know you are tied to this chair, right?"

"You are crazy!"

"I know, you have said that already."

After a few minutes of playing a hairdresser, I finally put the scissors down. Johnny is enjoying the show as a huge grin stretched on his mouth.

Sam walks back into the room and tells me that he had sent the picture to Roberto's brother and that he is waiting for him to reply. If Roberto is right regarding his brother not caring about him, then I have to find another way to get back at him. I might even do both, torture his brother, and steal something he has, which will make him come to Spain and face me. That way, I can kill him.

Sam's phone dings and I get a little excited thinking that it is Kilian who replied, but when a smile stretches on his lips, I am convinced that it is my sister who messaged him.

I huff in annoyance at this terrible situation I am in. I still feel weird that my best friend is dating my sister, but I can't do anything about it, mainly because my father had agreed, and because I respect their wishes to date. Who am I to stop in front of love?

At the mention of love, my mind drifts to Valeria and a smile makes its way to my face. I find myself daydreaming about her and I cannot wait to go back home and be with her. I know for a fact that I am whipped and forever will be.

"Lorenzo!" Johnny yells.

"What?"

"I have been calling you for a minute. Where have you gone, dude?"

"Valeria."

"Of course," he chuckles.

"How are things with you and Cassie?" I ask.

"Not bad, better than before," he replies with a shrug.

"I am still here!" Roberto yells.

We ignore him and continue with our conversation.

"Well, I am glad. Trust me, I feel everything will change when the baby comes."

"Yeah, I hope so."

"When is she due?"

"In four months."

"Oh, a long time. Why did I think she is due any time soon?"

"Trust me, I feel the same way too. Besides, I cannot wait to meet the little one."

"Do you know the gender?" Sam asks.

"No. Cassie doesn't want to know until she gives birth. She wants it to be a surprise."

"So, what do you call the baby? It?" I ask.

Johnny glares playfully and says, "Well, we talk to-"

"That was a rhetorical question, Johnny."

He stops what he was saying and mutters "asshole."

"He replied!" Sam shrieks.

"What did he say?" I whisper.

"Hurt him and I will kill you," Sam whispers back, making sure Roberto doesn't hear anything.

"Well, I guess we need to hurt him, don't we?" I smirk.

Fast forward to thirty minutes, Roberto's face is blue and purple. I feel a little bit bad because he is kind of innocent, minus the time he tried to steal one of our shipments.

I could say that this is payback, just to make myself feel better.

Trust me, I don't hurt innocent people, but Roberto is not innocent by any means. He is the devil in disguise.

I remember one-time reading in the newspaper about Roberto robbing the central bank of Seville. He was too unfortunate to get caught but with his family's influence, he got out without spending one night in jail.

So, he is not innocent.

"Send him a picture now," I tell Sam. "And if he wants him back, make sure to arrange that and tell me. He still doesn't know his brother is with us."

"Okay."

I leave the warehouse and drive home. I hate being away from Valeria for a long time, so I texted her and told her that I am coming soon.

Luckily, the roads aren't as crowdy as before, so I reached home fast. As I park my car, I look at the front door and Valeria is standing there with her hands on her hips. A scowl covered her beautiful face, making my heart beat fast at what is about to occur.

I step out of the car and immediately get tackled with a hug. I laugh out loud when I fall to the ground with Valeria on top of me. But what made us both cackle is when Max jumped on us both and started barking.

"I wasn't the only one who missed you," Valeria says with a smile.

Both of us are out of breath while Max just looks at us, waiting to be petted.

I pet his head and he growls in delight. I stand up and help Valeria. We two walk inside while Max runs.

"Are my parents here?" I ask Val.

"Nope. They went to visit your grandparent's graves."

"Oh..."

"Anyways, we have the house to ourselves," I say with a smirk, making her blush red.

She grabs my hand and strolls upstairs, eager to reach her bedroom. Tomorrows is my bedroom's turn.
