Raw Love Vol. I

Part 53

Klarissa's POV

The bright sun was shining brightly through the bedroom window. Yawning loudly, I stretched my arms out and pushed my unruly hair out of my face.

I didn't even have to look over at Lorenzo's side of the bed to know that he was already gone. A couple of hours ago I heard him get up and get dressed to go somewhere.

When I finally sat up in bed, I noticed that there was quite a bit of blood on his side of the bed. I was very alarmed because I knew for a fact that he wasn't injured or anything last night. The only time that something could have happened was when he went down to check the door last night.

I popped out of bed and headed into the bathroom to try to pull myself together enough so I could go downstairs and find out what is going on. After brushing my teeth and tying my hair back, I started to head out.

While walking down the stairs, I could hear the faint sound of people communicating in Spanish. I was immediately intrigued since I'm so used to hearing Italian and not being able to understand anything.

When I reached the bottom of the staircase, I saw my father speaking on the phone to someone. As soon as he saw me, he finished up his conversation and hung up the phone.

"Good morning?" I asked in a confused tone. I had no idea why he was here. It could be something as simple as business or something as complicated as Dan.

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" he asked as he reached out to hug me.

"Umm fine?" I said in an unsure tone. At this point, I had no idea what my father knew. The last thing that I wanted to do was spill information that he isn't aware of. One of the most important lessons that I have learned from Lorenzo is that I should never be the person to break important news. If that person doesn't know, there is a reason.

"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" I asked him.

"I had a meeting with Lorenzo earlier and I wanted to talk to you.." he said as he looked down at the floor. "about Daniel."

"Oh." I said as I bit my lip nervously. "Before we get into that, I just need to talk to Lorenzo."

"He's not here. Him and Angelo went out to the club in the city to get things in order for their party tonight." my father explained to me.

"Okay...so.." I said as I rocked nervously on the pads of my feet.

"Come on, lets talk in here. It will be more private." my father said as he pulled me into the empty sitting room.

Once we were both comfortable on the seats, he turned and looked at me.

"So I'm assuming that you know that Dan's dead." I said as I nervously directed my gaze down to the floor.

"Yes, Mateo called me as soon as he found him." my father said as he cleared his throat.

"Look, I don't want you to be upset with Lorenzo and what he did." I defended frantically. The last thing that I want is there to be another reason why my father hates Lorenzo.

"I'm not upset at all. If anything I'm upset with myself." my father said as he gently placed his hand on my shoulder.

I looked up with him with complete confusion. What does he have to do with this whole situation?

Reading my confused expression, he looked down at the floor and exhaled loudly.

"I know what Daniel did to you." he said in a strained voice. I could tell how high his emotions were running right now.
