Chapter 142: Chapter 142 First meeting MONALISA
“Oh come on, Mona, I was just messing with you.” Lorenzo laughed.
I ignored him.
“You don’t have to be so serious every time.” He said, catching up with me.
“And what’s wrong with being serious?”
He shrugged. “You just have to loosen up sometimes.”
“And then what? Become weak to men?”
He frowned. “Where did that come from?”
“This should be the last time you make me go out with you. The only time I see the need in putting up with you is when we’re having sex. Aside that, we should be more like housemates so know your place and you better get ready to be a husband to me in bed!” I warned and stormed off.
We didn’t say anything more to each other again.
And when I laid down to sleep, I kept thinking about how much fun I had with him today.
I thought he was a reserved and stoic man. He did seem like that when we first met.
I thought back to earlier today on how he was always smiling at everything and at me.
I quickly shook my head.
Damn it!
This was his fucking strategy, to make me think about his stupid smile.
I hugged my pillow to myself.
RAPHAEL We were on the plane heading back to Mexico. I wondered if they had been any good news about Lorenzo. I knew there wasn’t, if there were any, Dante would have informed me already. Still, I was trying to be hopeful. I wanted him to get back his life so I can go live mine. Feeling bored, I slid into my book and off my E-library. I might be a high school dropout but I knew how to read and I loved to read. Especially romance books. I clicked on a book and started reading. “Oh giving it to the manwhore, I’ve read it, Melissa died.” Mona suddenly said, peering into my phone. I glanced at her, surprised that she seemed to like reading romance books too. I thought an Iron Lady like her might only like reading horror, action or crime based books “Pea won’t let that happen.” “Did you skip to read the end?” She asked me. “No, I can’t spoil it for myself. I know he loves her too much to let anything happen to her.”

“Wow. If it were real life, he wouldn’t give two shit about her wellbeing.”She let out, sarcastically.
“Have you really lost all hopes in love?”
“People who claim to love you are the ones who hurt you the most.”
“That isn’t love then. If someone can hurt you so much, then they never loved you.” I told her, sincerely.
“Oh please.”
“Mona, love is putting someone else’s needs before yours, when you love someone, you just can’t bear to hurt them and even if you do unintentionally, you can tell by their actions how the person would try to make it up to you but if it continues, like, if someone keeps hurting you, repeatedly, then, that isn’t love. When I was in a relationship back then...her pain was like my pain so I couldn’t bear to hurt her”
She grimaced. “So what happened to that relationship?”
I sighed. “It didn’t work out. She broke up with me.”
“I never thought you’d be so much of a lover boy, Enzo.” She teased.
Lorenzo probably wasn’t.
But I was.
“And you still believe in love?” Mona asked me.
“Of course, I’m not going to let one person make me feel miserable for the rest of my life. Yes! It had hurt a lot. It was as if I would die from the heartbreak but I had to pull through. There are so many reasons to be happy in life. One is the fact that you can breathe, that’s the most important factor and even if things might not be going the way you want it to, or even if someone had a painful past, it’s not cool to let it affect your future, so I am always going to try and be happy.”
Even if my life was messed up right now. I was still going to do all I can to get it back on track after Lorenzo comes back.
I am going to try and be happy again.
Mona seemed deep in thoughts.
To lighten the mood, I said. “I bet I’ve read more books than you.”
She scoffed. “You haven’t.”
“Fine, have you read Verity?”
“One of my favorite, yes”
“Claiming what’s his.”
“Of course.”
“The Duke’s Gamble.”
“I read that a long time ago.”
“The talking pillow.”
She laughed. “That isn’t a book.”
I snickered. “You haven’t read it doesn’t mean that it isn’t a book, it was about this certain pillow that was owned by Fiona Woods, whenever she wants to lay her head on it....”
“Your way of fabricating this story is stupid.” She commented and we laughed.
I stared at her, it was at the tip of my tongue to tell her how beautiful she looked right now but then she doesn’t like hearing that so I kept my thoughts to myself.
My phone beeped, I saw that it was a text from Dante.
Dante: You have a meeting tomorrow. It’ll be your first meeting at Moretti Group.
I swallowed recalling the fact that I was a CEO now.
