Natalie

"I am sorry," I whispered

He pulled me away from his chest and cupped my face, looking at me with confusion on his face.

"And why are you saying sorry?" I dried my tears, feeling guilt wash over me.

"For not telling you right away, something that you deserve to know."

"And what is that?" He was still confused and my eyes began to tear up.

"S.. she threatened me, she said that she would hurt Fiona if I didn't tell you about the investigation." I cried more and his confused expression was replaced with an angry one.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The woman who stole Fiona from me. She was my best friend, Esther." His jaw clenched, he looked so angry. Is he angry with me?

"Lorenzo, I am sorry. I should have told you immediately when you came home. I was scared, I didn't want anything to happen to Fiona again but I know that was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden such important information from you, you deserve to know. Please don't be angry with me. I…"

"What are you talking about?" He cut me off with a confused look on his face again.

"Are you not upset with me that I didn't tell you right away?"

He sighed, laying down with me and pulling me into his arms.

"No, Natalie. I am not upset with you, I am angry at that woman who think she can come and mess with my family. I am actually happy that you have decided to tell me and not hide it from me."

"Really?" I was a little surprised, I thought he would actually be angry with me.

"Yes and don't worry, I will keep Fiona safe. I promise." I sighed in relief.

"Thank you, Lorenzo. I seriously don't know what I would do without you." He kissed my neck and pulled my head to look at him.

"I love you Natalie and will do anything to protect you and Fiona even if I get in doing so. I just want to know I will always be here for you guys and please, don't ever keep anything from me, okay?" I nodded.

"Yes, I won't." I replied.

"Good, now sleep. It is getting late and I don't want you to have dark circles." He pulled me into his chest once more, I sighed in satisfaction, inhaling his scent that I love so much.

"I love you, " he said, kissing my forehead.

I haven't told him, I love him yet. I was trying to find the best moments to do so and I think this is the right moment. I am one hundred percent that I love this man.

"I love you too," I whispered.


Lorenzo Pov.

I sighed, pulling Natalie close to me. When she told me that her best friend was the one that stole Fiona from her, I was overwhelmed with range. I felt angry seeing her this scared and that stupid woman dares to threaten her and Fiona. I don't even know where she gets the confidence to threaten my family. Is she scared of what I might do to her?

This can't go on any longer, I will end this as soon as possible. There will be no more reason for her to be scared because of her past best friend and no reason for her to worry about Fiona's safety.

Speaking of her, I have brought Fiona to our room to sleep with her mother so I can be sure of her safety. I have also increased the security in the house. I have even called the investigators, demanding them to find her as soon as possible. I wanted to go downstairs to my office and do some work but I didn't want to leave them alone.

I know Natalie would be scared and even paranoid if I left her alone so I had to stay. Beside, Fiona don't have a clue that she might be in danger. I am worried about both of their safety even though there is a sea of bodyguards guarding the house.

I let out another breath, pulling her closer to me as Fiona snuggled more into her arms. I felt even more assured that they will be okay and safe.


Natalie Pov.

"Come on, mother!" Fiona shouted and I started working faster to finish building my Lego house.

It has been one week since I received that threat call from Esther. I am very stressed and scared now that I have told Lorenzo the truth even though I don't show it in my face, I am very scared for Fiona's safety. I just hope Lorenzo gets her as soon as possible.

After telling him, he had been beside me ever since that day and I couldn't be more thankful. He had assigned bodyguards around the house for our safety and hadn't even left the house once to go to work. I tried forcing him to work but he said he isn't going anywhere until they find that woman and that made me feel much better.

Now I know how good it feels to have someone with you while going through a situation in life. I didn't have someone with me to comfort me when Fiona was stolen from me but now I know what it feels like. I am so thankful for having Lorenzo by my side, I really don't know what I would do without him. He had been just so loving and caring towards Fiona and I. He gave me assurance that Fiona and I are safe and nothing will happen to either of us. I just hope that he catches Esther as soon as possible.

"Mother?" Fiona's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

My eyes went to her, she was placing the final lego brick on top of another one to complete the house we were building.

"Finally, we are done." He said and I smiled, looking at the house that both of us worked together to build.

I looked down at her and was about to say something when a voice interrupted me.

"Dinner is ready guys!" Lorenzo shouted from the kitchen, I helped Fiona to stand up before we both made our way to the kitchen.

Today, Lorenzo decided to let me rest since I was a little stressed. He said will be the one to make the food and will be eating all day.

"Why don't you guys have a seat." He said as soon as we entered the dining room.

Gosh, he looked so hot in shirtless. He walked over to the table with a few dishes in his hand and I helped him place them on the table while Fiona took her seat. He kissed my cheek and wrapped his arms around my waist before guiding me to one of the seats. We said grace before we began to eat.

We ate in a peaceful silence but suddenly his phone buzzed. A frown made its way to his face as he brought his phone out from his pocket and his eyes widened looking at the screen. He stood up and mouthed I will be right back before GW left the dining room.

I was confused of who could be calling him right now but continued eating my food. But for some reason, I can't stop thinking about who could be calling him. I sighed, biting my lips and went back to eating with Fiona. She was also feeling a little impatient because Lorenzo was still on call.

Just when I was about to get up and go see where we were, he came rushing to the dining room. He looked so angry at first but his expression changed when his eyes met mine and he began to make his way to me.

"Is everything okay?" I asked with a frown.

I was confused as to why he was this way and really wanted to know who was on the phone.

"Yes, everything is good." I nodded my head but I couldn't help but ask the question that I am dying to ask since he left the table.

"Who called you?"

My question made him clench his jaw again but he didn't respond. I repeated the question and this time he sighed, opening his mouth to speak but closed it back before any word could come out of it. It was like he was hesitating to say something and I wasn't happy with that.

"Lorenzo, please tell me."

I wanted to know if we are in danger or if everything is okay. I don't want anything to happen to him or any of us. He sighed, running his fingers through his hair and quickly looked towards the direction of Fiona who was still busy with her food. He let out another breath before finally opening his mouth to speak.

"The investigators called me and they said they have someone at the station who looks like Esther. They want me to come down to the station and identify her." My eyes widened.

"Then let us go."

I was so eager to see her and even happy that it might be her. I wanted everything to end the right way but Lorenzo grabbed my arms before I could even move.

"No, Natalie. You are not coming with me." I looked at him with confusion and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I am not going? What do you mean by that?"

"Natalie," he sighed before speaking again.

"It is better if you stay at home because it is safer here. The body guards will be home with you and Fiona and…"

"No, I want to come. I have to, I need to see her myself to know the reason why she made me go through that. I have to see Lorenzo, I have some many questions that I need answers from her." He sighed and cupped my face with his two hands.

"I know my queen but it is not safe out there. You can never know what would happen if we all leave the house, I need you at home so I can know that you're safe and besides, Esther isn't the same anymore. I knew her with blonde hair but you knew her with black hair. Apparently you won't be able to recognize her because of her changed appearance if you see her. So it is up to me to do, I need you to stay at home where it is safe and I can assure you that you are okay. I need you to understand, okay?" I let out a breath, looking to the floor.

"Okay," I said, nodding my and I saw a small smile making its way to his lips.
