Our Mission

Chapter 22

- Isabella's POV -

The words that spilled out his mouth weren't what I was expecting. Why wouldn't I believe Lorenzo didn't love me when all the times we've been together he showed and he proved to me that he did not just with words but with his actions. It was a bit suspicious of him to say the words out loud but that didn't stop me from believing he loved me the way I loved him.

The reason I tried to keep my distance from him is because I needed to set myself apart even if I didn't want to. A lot of people think that I can easily just quit my job and run off with him but that's sadly isn't how things work. I'm an undercover agent, a fucking spy who knows so much information that the people I work for could easily kill me before I can let anything out to their enemies or even a friend. I wish I can say I'm smarter than that but look at me, I fell for a person I needed to turn in.

"Of course I believe it's true" I responded as I crossed my arms. This man rarely spoke to me and if he did he was incredibly rude so the way he was being nosy just annoyed every nerve in my body. I couldn't show the fact that I was because that will only give him satisfaction.

I held the gaze only to see his stern expression break, his very stuble smile lines showed as he let out a deep chuckle that filled the empty hall which only sent an uncomfortable chill down my spine.

"I don't get what he sees in you" Sergio finally spoke once he collected himself as his deep-colored eyes flickered with judgment.

I watched his shoulders push back and his head slightly rise, holding his head high. The small step he took towards me held such power that it was almost intimidating. I felt the warmth of his body radiate onto mine and his heavy spice cologne fill my nose once he closed the space between us.

If someone was to catch us so close it would've been incredibly suspicious since everyone knows how much we couldn't stand each other. It was an uncomfortable position he was putting me in but I have always been in an uncomfortable situation where I'll have to act like it didn't affect me in other missions.

Before I could take a step back to leave room between us again Sergio raised his hand to my face and lightly caressed my cheek with his icy fingers until trailing them to my chin. My breathing hitched at his movement mainly surprised at how gentle he was being considered he didn't look like the type but it made sense because if he tried to be rough with me Lorenzo would simply beat his ass once again.

"I don't get it, you're a very smart girl yet so clueless it's quite sad, truly," He says with a slight smirk on his face following by letting go of his grip on my chin before I could slap his hand off of me. This man really just insulted me then complimented me then insulted me again.

"To be frank with you, Camilla was twice the woman you'll ever be" He mutters under his breath as he spun on his feet ready to walk down the large hall acting as if nothing happened.

Camilla? I recognized that name being mentioned around the mansion by Lorenzo's top two men, Sergio and Mauricio, but they have always been cut off at 'Cam' or 'Camil' before being able to continue on finishing which was always weird. I mean whoever this girl was I cried realizing that she had more of a chance with Lorenzo than myself.

A wave of curiosity and jealousy washed over me from his last sentence. I was intrigued to know more about this girl and why he always tried to compare me to her so I sped walk over to Sergio who was already a few feet away from me. Hesitantly I tugged onto the expensive fabric of his suit trying to stop him in his track which he thankfully did. I needed to know what was so important about this girl for her to be mentioned around me so much, what was she to Lorenzo and why was she never spoken about?
