Mixed Feelings (book 1) - Chapter 38：Shattered

I looked around and there were computers around, placed on tables, and a big monitor on the wall. They’re off other than I found nothing that could help me.

I hurried to him. I untied him; I pulled him up and raised his hand and I moved under his arms, I wrapped one of my hands around his waist and the other was holding his arm. With so much difficulty, I walked him towards the stairs, I climbed them, I was sobbing and struggling to climb the stairs with him. I somehow climbed the stairs and reached the gate. I moved us out and strolled through the room and stepped outside that. I walked us to my room, and I moved him to my bed; I took my phone in my hands and called the doctor. I was pacing back and forth, waiting for the doctor. He arrived. His name was Charles, one of Enzo’s friends.

He cleaned the blood and dressed the bruises on his body, he gave him some doses of medicine. He walked to me with a worried expression.

“Do you know him?”

“Yes, how is he, Charles? is he okay?” I asked,

“He is fine now. He will open his eyes in just a few minutes”

“Thank god,” I said, releasing the breath that I was holding.

“He was beaten badly. He has injuries all over his body. Who did this to him?” He asked with concern,

“I don’t know Charles, I…found him like this,” I said. I was stopping myself not to cry in front of him.

“Hmm…I need to leave now, call me if there is any emergency okay” he said touching my head.

I walked inside to him, sat on the ground near him and rested my head on the bed and waited for him to open his eyes. Who did this to him? Is it Enzo? No…No Enzo will never do this my friends. He promised me, Who did this? Why did they tie him up and why did they beat him up like this?Did Aron do something?

Why is he in my house unless someone in here did this to him, who could it be? With all these thoughts running in my head, I closed my eyes and drifted away.

****

I hear someone calling me in a weak voice. I quickly opened my eyes.

“V…ven..venssa.sa” he said in a very weak voice, he tried to get up.

“Aron…Aron…wait,” I said, taking a pillow and putting it behind him, he leaned back and smiled at me weakly. Tears were rolling down my cheeks looking at him, “Don’t c..cry” He said,

“Wh..who did th..this to you?”

He sighed but didn’t answer my question

My heart beating rapidly against my ribcage,

“Did…did he…do this…To you…?” I asked scared to know his answer,

Before he could answer my question Enzo strolled inside and stopped, looking at me, His eyes moved to mine, and to him, No one made a noise. I turned to Aron, he looked at me and nodded. It shocked me, only one question was running in my head. Why?

I looked at Enzo and stood up, tears were continuously streaming down my eyes, “why?” I asked Enzo,

He said nothing, he just stood there like a statue.

“Please te..tell me you didn’t do this,” I said,

“He will not tell you,” someone said from behind, Enzo turned and a furious Remond stood there.

“R..Remond,” I said, shocked to see him here, I thought he was in London.

He turned to me, “I’m sorry Nessa but the truth behind this might hurt you, do you still want to know?” I was confused, I looked back at Enzo.

“I want to know please tell me,” I said,

“Enzo… did this to Aron…”

“Wh…why…would Enzo do this to Aron?” I said shocked and confused.

“Because he didn’t want Aron to tell you the truth about him,” Zach said,

I turned to Zach, “what truth?” I asked him,

“Do you remember the day when you first saw him,” asked Remond,

I nodded,

“You didn’t see him first Nessa he saw you first, he saw you when he entered into the restaurant and asked Seth Collins his best friend to have people around you, they inform Enzo every single thing you do. That day, That lady who called you on the stage. Do you know why she called you?[I shook my head] she called because he asked her to when he heard your voice while you’re talking to your friend and instantly understood that you’re a singer. He wanted you to notice him, He sent his bodyguard to threaten her. She got scared and called you to the stage. That day he sent his bodyguards behind you. That bodyguards followed you to your house that night [I remember that feeling I got that day like Someone is following me] and gave you the gift which was sent by him. That night Seth gave him all the details about you, where you study, where you live, your past with Brian, and everything.[I turned to look at Enzo with teary eyes] He called us and Threatened us to do as he says, He was the one who told me to bully you so that he could save you and become a hero in your eyes, Think about it, I never bullied you before why would all of sudden for no certain reason will I bully you, you know I never did that. He said to me to threaten that restaurant boss to fire you so that he can make you work under him, He never had a P.A of your age. Nobody accepts a P.A of your age how come you didn’t know that…[He paused and looked at Enzo] Do you know how did brian contacted you and found where you live, [I looked at Enzo with tears in my eyes,] He brought him out of the jail and gave your number said him to scare you, But Brian took advantage of it and tried to **** you. Do you know where he is now?[I shook my head] He killed him, Enzo cut both his hands and his manhood and buried him under one of his properties[I gasped and stepped backward] Let me show you the video,[ He moved to me] “No…No I don’t want to see It” I screamed, shaking my head and sobbing, he nodded and continued.

Every single thing that happened in your life was perfectly planned by him. I tried to tell you this on that day when I told you to meet me, but I noticed his bodyguards around our school in normal clothes. That’s the reason why I gave tasks So that one of us can tell you this without Enzo’s Knowledge, I wanted you to be far from him by doing that task. But eventually, you would go back to him, every single plan failed, I even came to your home to tell you but I saw John there and left your house without telling you anything. He fooled you, Ness. Yes, He loved you, He loves you so much that he ripped that guy Anderson’s heart out for touching you, but he planned things which made you go closer to him, He used us all in the process” Remond said, pointing at Enzo.

I collapsed on the ground, Enzo was the first to reach me. He touched my shoulder, I shoved his hand away. I looked at him, There was hurt in his eyes. I slapped him on his right cheek, “Don’t you dare fucking touch me” I said with venom, I stood up, He moved back and touched his cheek where I just slapped him.

“Vennesa please listen to me, I…” He tried to say but I cut him off,

“No .. Please…No” I sobbed,

I couldn’t say anything, my body was numb. My hands were shaking and I felt like I would collapse anytime, tearing were streaming down my face. My breathing was unstable, Only one thing was running in my mind.

He fooled me.

He fooled me.

“Venessa”

He fooled me.

“Venessa”

He fooled me.

“Venessa”

I looked at that face, the one which I loved. I moved away from him, “Do not touch me” I said,

“You…you…played me..” I sobbed, pointing my finger at him.

“You’re such a liar” I said, sobbing and getting up from the ground.

I looked at everyone around me, “Everyone…of you… Played me…” I cried out loud pointing at them, I couldn’t stand there, I couldn’t look at their faces, I lowered my head and covered my mouth with my hand to prevent the sobs. I ran out of the room, I stepped down the stairs and ran outside the mansion. I ran and ran and ran, I don’t know where I’m going, I just didn’t care. Everything flashed in front of my eyes, every single moment we shared.

“I love you Vennesa”

“You’re mine”

“I can’t leave without you”

Everything he said to me echoed in my head, Everything was a lie. Tears streaming down my face, I stopped at a place and noticed its a park. I wiped my tears and walked inside and sat down at the corner tree, I crawled up like a piece of paper as I sat with my knees held against my chest, I kept my head down on my knees Caps and let the tears down my eyes, I was crying my eyes out. Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder, I looked up to see a familiar face. Before I could say anything he pulled something and injected me, My eyes started to feel heavy and drifted off.

Lorenzo’s POV.

I was working on my new project in my office and suddenly my phone’s alarm began to ring. I took my phone and opened it. Someone entered the secret room. I can see it’s My baby, I quickly stood up from my chair and took my coat, I walked outside the building and Drove to the mansion. I was stuck in traffic and by the time I reached her, she was with him and he was about to tell her that I did this to him. I looked at her tears strained face and I realized what I have done. She stood up and asked me, I couldn’t answer her. I couldn’t see her hurt again. Then that idiot came with his goddamn friends, he said everything to her and I’ve seen collapsing in front of me, guilt stabbed me. This is all my mistake, I never felt this kind of a pain in my entire life. I couldn’t see her like this. She pushed me away, my anger rose. This is happening because of my mistakes, I shouldn’t have done this. I looked at them and my anger rose. They need to pay for what they’ve done. “John!!!” I screamed,

John with 3 of my other bodyguards walked inside the room,

“yes, sir”

“Tie them up in the basement,” I said, putting my hands in my pockets,

“Doing this only makes Vennesa even angrier Enzo?” Remond said, I strode to him and grabbed his jaw.

“Don’t you dare take her name from your mouth?” I said gripping his jaw, I pushed him back.

“Take them and let him be,” I said, my bodyguards, took them out, I looked at Aron. His bruised face, The look on her face when they said I did this, flashed in front of me, guilt was eating me inside. “I…I. I’m sorry” I said to him, He smiled at me. What the…he smiled?

I was confused, I did this to him and he smiled at me. I was staring at him, my phone vibrated inside my pocket.

I pulled my phone out. There was a notification from an unknown number. I opened it.

She is mine now…Good luck with your life, Lore.
