Chapter 89

Lorenzo POV…

I strolled into my mansion, my footsteps echoing through the empty foyer. I was exhausted from a long day at work and then searching for Angelina. I knew that everything happened here in my mansion. I was confirmed when I found her gift box and everything.

I made my way to my study and turned on the CCTV monitors. I scanned through the footage from the day when Angelina broke up with me. My eyes searched for any sign of Angelina, I was looking at the monitor with so much focus.

Finally, I found her. I was entering the mansion with a large box in her arms. She walked towards my room and disappeared inside. I watched the empty corridor.

I watched as Angelina emerged from my room a short time later. She was crying, and her face was flushed with anger. She threw the box near the couch and ran out of the mansion.

My heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Angelina had been in my mansion, and she had left in tears. She was here in the early morning when I was asleep.

Then why she didn't wake me up? Why didn't she wait for me?

I quickly rewound the footage and watched it again. This time, I paid closer attention to Angelina's movements.

She looked so happy when she entered my mansion, but after entering my room, she destroyed the box, looked around, and then ran away from the mansion.

I watched in disbelief as the CCTV footage showed Angelina running out of the mansion, crying. But then, something caught my eye. After Angelina ran away, sometime later I saw something unpleasant.

There was another woman in the footage. She was coming out of my room, looking back over her shoulder as if she were afraid of being caught. She looked here and there and slowly was moving towards the stairs.

My heart sank. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had thought that Angelina was the only one who had been in my room, but I was wrong. Now I knew why Angelina was crying and running away from me. Why did she break up with me? She fucking misunderstands everything. She fucking thought that I was with her.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I shouted in frustration and anger. I would destroy whoever was behind all this damn thing.

The woman in the footage was someone I had never seen before. She had long, dark hair and was wearing a tight dress. She was very attractive, but there was something about her that made me feel uneasy. I felt like I had known her, but I couldn't remember anything.

The woman looked around the foyer and then smiled to herself. She turned and ran out of the mansion.

I was completely frozen, my heart pounding in my chest thinking about the possibility Angelina would have thought after seeing her in my room, maybe with me, but I didn't know in what condition. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Who was this woman? Why was she in my room? And why had she run away when she saw Angelina running away from the mansion?

I rewrote the footage and watched it again. This time, I paid closer attention to the women's movements.

She had entered my room a few minutes before Angelina had arrived. She had closed the door behind her and disappeared inside.

I couldn't see what she had done inside my room, but I knew it couldn't have been anything good.

The woman had emerged from my room a few minutes later after Angelina came out of my room, looking back over her shoulder as if she were afraid of being caught. She had then looked around the foyer, smiled to herself, and ran out of the mansion.

Why the hell did that woman smile after Angelina ran away from my mansion?

I decided to investigate. I walked out of my study and headed to my bedroom. I searched the room, but I couldn't find anything improper.

I sighed in frustration. I didn't know what to do. I was determined to find out who this woman was and why she had been in my room. But I didn't know where to start.

I went back to my study room and sat down at my desk. I stared at the CCTV footage again and again, my mind racing. Likewise, I couldn't shake the feeling of watching Angelina when she was rubbing her stomach while smiling.

Not only that, but I knew that I had to find out who this woman was. I had to find out what she had done in my room. And I had to make her pay for what she had done to our relationship.

I picked up the phone and called his private investigator, Antonio, again.

“Antonio,” he said. “I need you to find someone for me.”

“Who is it?” Antonio asked.

“I don't know her name,” I said. “But she's a woman, and she was in my room yesterday.”

“I'll see what I can do,” Antonio said.

I hung up the phone and leaned back in my chair. I rubbed my temple and then ordered a coffee. I smoked until I was calmed a little.

_____________

I was waiting for Antonio when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw that it was Antonio, my private investigator. I answered the phone quickly.

“Antonio,” I said. “Do you have any news?”

“Yes,” Antonio said. “I found the woman you were looking for.”

Without beating around the bush. “Who is she?” I asked.

“Her name is Sophia,” Antonio said. “She's your ex-girlfriend, I think.”

My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe it. Sophia was the woman in the CCTV footage? Of course, damn it, how I could forget her dirty smirk? I knew that she looked familiar.

“But why was she in my mansion?” I asked.

“I don't know,” Antonio said. “I'm still investigating that.”

“Well, keep me updated,” I said. “I want to know everything you can find out about her.”

“I will,” Antonio said. “Goodbye.”

I hung up the phone and stared into space. I couldn't believe that Sophia had been in my mansion. I didn't know what to think.

Why had she been in my mansion? And why had she run away when she saw Angelina running? Did she plan everything to separate us? Fuck yes, that bitch…

Suddenly, I realized why Angelina was crying while running away from my mansion. So she had seen us together in my room, and she thought that we were both together now. Angelina may think that I was with Sophia again. Shit, no man…

I should have told her what Sophia told me in Morocco…

Sophia warned me that she would do anything to destroy my little secret and happiness. At that time, I was confused, so I didn't pay much heed to her, but now I knew why the hell she warned me to keep my girl close to me and protect her.

But who could help her here? I knew that she was out of this country, but how did she come here and tell her about me and Angelina?
