FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Lorenzo Alejandro; You Are A Coward

The tension in the air morphed into one of surprise as, a young man in his mid-thirties, with brown eyes and a well-built athletic body, strolled into the room, smirking at the two frightened kittens. He made his way slowly to the bed, towering above his prey, his darkened and unreadable gaze scrutinizing Amelia from head to her bare toes.

“You!”

Amelia slowly let go of Sarah, her jaw dropping upon recognizing the man before her.

“Hello, Amelia.” Lorenzo’s side lips curled up in a smirk.

“I know you.”

“You know him,” Sarah whispered, in a trembling voice.

Amelia nodded pushing Sarah to stay behind her.

“Hmmm… Interesting. Do tell.” The young man said leisurely, a creepy smile spreading across his lips.

“You worked as a bartender at Diamond Star.” Amelia paused, ransacking her brain for the name Kayla had mentioned to her when they were fooling around. “Manuel.”

Lorenzo’s smirk deepened. “I’m truly flattered that you still remember me. I never knew I made such an impression on you.”

“What happened? You were really nice and friendly.”

“You happened, Amelia.” Lorenzo’s gaze turned predatory as he glowered at Amelia with an unquenchable thirst in his eyes. “I only took that bar tending job for a day just to study you and your friends. For weeks, I have watched you from afar, taking advantage of those who hate you and waiting for the right moment to strike. You took something precious from me and I want that it back. A life for life.”

“So you are the brother to a rapist, a kidnapper and an assassin. So pathetic.” Amelia part in his direction. “I can see the poisonous blood runs deep in the family.” She matched Lorenzo’s ominous glare with a scowl.

“Tough! I like that. Allow me to formally introduce myself to you. I’m Lorenzo Alejandro, the elder brother to Gabriel Alejandro – the man you murdered in cold blood. Now tell me, what do you think I should do to the woman who took the only family member I have left?”

Amelia could feel Sarah’s grip tightening around her waist as Lorenzo leaned forward his right arm stretching towards Amelia.

“Your brother got what was coming to him the moment he kidnapped me, hit me hard and tried to rape me. Were you expecting me to sit still and let him have his way without a fight?” Amelia’s body shook as tears clouded her vision. “Even a dying dog will fight for a chance to live.”

Lorenzo paused, holding Amelia’s crumbling composure for a few seconds before deciding not to touch her yet. He stood up straight, his cold gaze never leaving her.

“You right…”

Amelia waited for him to complete his statement and when he didn’t she asked.

“Right about what?”

“Even a dying dog deserves a chance to fight for their freedom. Your fate had already been sealed the day you stabbed my brother to death. I’m going to give you that chance to fight for your life before I end you. Come with me.” Lorenzo stretched his hands towards her.

“No…” Sarah cried out holding Amelia even tighter almost choking her.

Amelia loosened Sarah’s grip a little, stroking the back of her hand and reassuring her that everything was going to be fine.

“What about my cousin? You promised you would set her free once you have me?”

“Yes!”

“So what are you waiting for? Set a free.”

Lorenzo chuckled, the humour not reaching his eyes.

“Not yet silly. I said your cousin will be set free after I’ve had you…” He drawled, his glistening brown eyes drinking in her feminine beauty which was perfectly captured by the one-piece leather suit. “…to my heart desire. If you fail to please me in bed as much as I want, I will kill your cousin and I’ll still kill you. Either way, my brother will be avenged. Now come to me.”

“No…Please… don’t hurt my aunt.”

“Lorenzo Alejandro, you are a coward,” Amelia said between clenched teeth, batting her lashes to push back the tears that were threatening to fall.

“Aunt Amelia, please don’t provoke him any further,” Sarah begged, but her pleas fell on deaf ear.

“A coward who sends a woman to do his dirty job. A coward who hides under a shitty mask threatening people simply because he has no balls to face them. A coward who isn’t man enough to keep his promise. You only show your strength in front of an unarmed in helpless woman. If you have any dignity left in you, give me a weapon and see if I wouldn’t send you six feet below like I did your rapist of a brother.”

A pin dropped from a mile away could be heard as a deadening silence rained for the next few seconds. Lorenzo held Amelia’s unyielding glare, his hunger to break her and make her eat her words, fueling his rage.

The only thing Amelia could hear was her heart drumming in her ears as she waited for Lorenzo to take her up on her daring offer or attack her.

“Bold, fearless and tenacious, all the qualities, I admire in my dream woman. Now I see why Ivy was forced to hit you in the head while contemplating killing you. You really know how to get on someone’s nerves. But since you are eager to taste blood, I will give you the opportunity to face your nemesis in a fist fight.”

Lorenzo pointed to the opened door, as Ivy who had been standing by the door and listening to all their conversation strolled in, smiling grimly.

Amelia was disappointed to see the beautiful face of the dark-skinned lady who had been working for an animal. She was a young pretty girl probably in her early twenties, with cute bangs. She was casually dressed in a tank top paired with sweatpants and white sneakers.

“Let me formally introduce you to Ivy, known to Sarah as Toshiba and you…” Lorenzo pointed to Amelia. “…as the photographer. She is my late brother’s fiancee. They were going to get married in the next three months but you took that away from her. Can you imagine what she wants to do to you right now with her beautiful fist?”

Lorenzo turned his head to Ivy.

“Teach her the importance of silence and bring her on her knees to my room. If the cousin gives you a headache, break one of her limbs.”

“With pleasure,” Ivy replied grinning slyly, as she marched forward intending to make Amelia bleed.

“Ivy, don’t let him use you. He is a lunatic. You can…”

“Amy, move to you right in Sarah’s direction and keep your head down” Amelia froze as she heard Blaze’s voice in her head, as clear as running water. She acted on impulse as Ivy reached out to grab her hair.

Lorenzo turned around to leave when he spotted the silhouette of emotionless figure, standing at the door with a gun pointed in Ivy’s direction.

“Ivy, lookout…” Lorenzo screamed as he dived to the side.

Bang! Bang!!
