You'll Always Be In My Heart

Chapter 31: Changed

Morning-

'Okay..but there should be more 2 boxes. Check properly Henry' says Arlyn on the call
'I did Mam, but still the count is same!' says Henry
'Is it? Wait I will come and check by myself. There must be some fault I think' says Arlyn and cuts the call. She puts her phone down on the table, sees herself in the mirror and was ready to go, when Lorenzo woke up,
'What time is it?' asks Lorenzo
'8am' says Arlyn
'Where are going so early in the morning?' asks Lorenzo
'To the warehouse, I need to check the loadings!' says Arlyn and continues 'also, I have some other work. I will be back by evening' says Arlyn
'Okay!' says Lorenzo

Lorenzo's POV-

'I woke up half an hour later after she left. After taking a shower. Giving dread to realise what I used to label as mine was about to slip away from my hands because of my choices. All of it will go with her, my emotions, our memories and especially my love for her, everything will fade away from me in a few months. Diverting my mind with these thoughts, thinking of the awaiting future of ours, I kept my posture unaffected as I look in the mirror, thinking who I was and what I became l. I entered this dark world with the intention of being the king, ruling all of it, being number one, not to fall in love or settle down with someone. I think it's time for me to be the king again and show the world who I was and who I can be!!'
————————End of Lorenzo's POV———————

Evening-
'Arlyn' he called while having dinner

'Yes' I said not looking at him but having a bite of my food

'Do you still intend to have a relationship with your father? Make things right with him?' he asked sternly

'Yes, why not Lorenzo. He's my dad, of course I would want to make things out with him  and clear everything'

'I see. Whatever the outcome may be, but promise me you will always protect yourself' he said coldly

'Protect myself from whom..? Are you implying on my dad?' I asked curiously

'Who else' says Lorenzo

'Lorenzo, he is my father, and you have to understand a father will never hurt her daughter' I said calmly explaining him

'Not in everyone's case' he said

'Your grandfather right?' I asked

'Yes, Roman Pierce; my namesake grandfather. You know he is still alive, I couldn't kill him yet' says Lorenzo

'Why not? I mean you always wanted to avenge your father's death, so you could have done it years ago, when you entered in this world? So why didn't you?' I asked him

'You think it would be that easy to kill someone, in fact someone powerful like him, the one whose legacy I am continuing, it can never be easy for me to kill him, it takes time and a lot of planning to kill him, and my mom on the other hand; if I would have killed her father, she would have never forgiven me for it, all my whole life, but I shall kill him one day. I shall kill all the people who hurt me' says Lorenzo 'and you' Lorenzo whispers slowly so she could not hear it

'Then what is the difference left between you and your grandfather Lorenzo, you both are the same, he thought that Lex wasn't the right man for your mother, though he tried to prove it all those years but failed and in the other hand, you..you want to avenge your father death..but did you ever think that it would be fair to your father knowing that you want to kill your grandfather, would he be happy to see Juliana hurt, in pain. You know the impact, if you kill him, your mom would be the one to be most affected by it' I explained him my point of view

'No, you are wrong' His voice came demanding, not in the mood for argument yet my voice dared to speak up against him

'Why not?' I shrugged and the threatening stare he sent in my direction for daring to this was highly unwanted

'You can never compare me with him. I am not that bad at least' he said, leaning back

'Lorenzo, I am simply saying you where you are wrong. So stop arguing further and for once listen to what I say' I breathed out, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, to which he also stayed quiet. He ate his dinner and went to the room. When I was sure he left, I cursed my breath, slamming my hand on the table.
'Damn, he never listens to me' I whispered, pulling my head in frustration, losing my senses in the fiery fire of rage.
'Damn it' cursing, I got up from the table, leaving my food unfinished and went to the garden 'Why ? Why doesn't he listens to what I say ever? And here I thought he changed after that night but actually he didn't. Why do I make myself understand so badly, that you will change really, hoping that you will one day be the old you but in reality you won't..? Right Lorenzo?'
I thought and sat down on the stair. I slammed my hand on ground, closing my eyes thinking not more about it but left with no choice but to accept the reality. I complete my drink and warned the servant who caught me drinking, not to tell Lorenzo about it. Yes he hates drinking, also he hates the people who drinks, I never saw him drinking ever, till now. I think his mood will be more ruined if he finds out I haven't stopped yet after giving him immense promises, also with the fact that I didn't handle alcohol last time. But what could I do, some habits, just don't change. Later I went to the room, finding him already asleep, laying his one hand on my hand, taking deep breaths. I went and lay on my side, I kept his hand on my waist, 'can't you be calm like this always. I like you more like this'
'Really?' he asked suddenly
'I mean..actually yes you look good like this' I said
'Then I will be like this only if you want..just don't be afraid of me Arlyn' he said pulling me closer
'Hmm..I won't' I said assuring him. 'I was never the one who changed, it was always you Lorenzo' I thought and slept!

So here it is,
Arlyn thinks Lorenzo is changed! Is he?
