|| VALENTINA's POV ||
" What? This bitches..how dare they go to find you at your fucking store? Get me a knife! I am going to kill both of them!", Emily shouted from the top of her lungs, almost deafening my ears. I let out a hiss at her reaction, continued sipping the warm milk that she prepared for me.
The behavior from staff affected my mood a lot today. However, I had to get used to it slowly since I was no one but an employee in that store. I mumbled between my drinking, feeling light headed after the warm milk, slipped down to my tongue,
" I don't think that they would come anymore. After all, they are done with their motives already."
Sophia wanted to strip me down in front of the staff and she was already successful after today's ruckus. Emily returned to plop down next to me, rolling her eyes back as she snorted angrily,
" Oh come on! I know those bitches. Now that you have money, they will surely come to look for you."
I couldn't argue about that fact. Sophia was more shameless than her mother. She had already shown her interest in my money. Now, she was probably waiting for her turn to appear again. They just wanted me to settle the matter with their demanded money.
Our conversation was interrupted by a sudden phone call. I glanced at the unknown number, answered it hesitantly,
" Hello, who is it?"
" It's me, Luka! Valentina, have you seen Lorenzo?", It was Luka who called me to hear about Lorenzo. Having heard his name, my heart began to race violently. Putting on a straight face, I blurted out coldly,
" No! We haven't been in touch for a few days. Besides, I am living with my friend now. Why?"
Luka exhaled heavily, sounding worried,
" I see, no wonder, he is always in a bad mood. Lorenzo is missing for an entire day. No one knows where he went and I thought that you might know.."
I yelled back worrying,
" What? What did you just say? How can he go missing like that? What about his guards?"
Despite our bitterness, I couldn't help but get worried for Lorenzo. He had so many enemies out there that it wouldn't be shocking if he gets shot someday.
Luka replied softening his tone a bit,
" Relax! I am still looking for him. Don't worry, we will find him. Now, you should rest more and don't think about it anymore."
Luka hung up quickly after that but all the sleepiness of my eyes was suddenly gone. The imagination of his bloody scene made my blood freeze, goosebumps appearing on my skin.
Where could he go?
I wrecked my brain hard to remember anything related to his favourite place. After giving it a deep thought, I remembered suddenly how he told me that he went to the cemetery whenever he felt lonely, broken to chat with his mother.
Was he probably going there?
