Wealthy Women

Plain white t-shirt

(A/N) this chapter takes a dark turn. You've been warned.

I wanted to take her to a fancy restaurant but I thought the date should be more intimate since it's our first date.

I was wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue ripped jeans, with some timberlands. I thought I looked good, but then I saw Valerie.

She was also wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue ripped jeans, but she looked way better. The jeans exposed most of her thigh and now that I looked at it, I noticed a tattoo.

"Zo, are you're-" she paused and looked at me, then at her outfit and then back to me.

"I think I should go chan-"

"No!" I said that way too loud.

"You look great, don't change" she looked up at me and smiled.

"I guess we're matching today" she moved to the bed and put on her shoes.

~~

She's blindfolded so that the date would remain a surprise.

"Almost there, just a little more" I came to a stop, I started to remove the blindfold

I opened my eyes and saw a tall tree with a picnic already set underneath it. It was so pretty and we were the only ones there. I turned around, ran and then jumped on him, showering his face with kisses.

"Zo, this is so cute, I love it. Thank you" he wrapped his arms around me, to support my weight. He put me down and guided me to the blanket. He sat down and sat opposite him and leaned on the tree. He opened the basket, to reveal all the food he had prepared. Like clockwork, my stomach started to growl. Lorenzo looked up at me and started to laugh, like shit funny. I'm hungry.

~~

We were done eating and Zo is laying on my lap, talking to me about his life while I fed him some grapes.

"So Val, why do you accept ex-felons into your company, aren't you afraid of them or afraid of me?"

"Did you not see me pull out a gun on a man for calling me a bitch? I have done a handful of bad things, so I understand, to an extent. I don't judge" I fed him a grape before he continued talking.

"Val, what did you do?" he asked.

"Remember Nicholas?" I asked, he visibly stiffened up and his jaw was clenched.

"Yeah, I remember him," he said dryly

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I had him killed" Lorenzo's eyes widened at my statement.

"Let me elaborate. Nic was a manipulative, sexist woman beater, who owed my good friend, Gio, some money. He was taking too long to pay so Gio and I came up with a plan. Long story short, I lured him to Gio and I am positive he was killed." Now there was silence.

"That isn't bad", Zo got up and sat beside me. " I killed my dad," was all he said. Officer Jackson said it was personal but damn. I faced him, coaxing him to elaborate

"He was a horrible father. He raped my mother, Percy Valentine, and forced her to have me. When I wasn't what he wanted he did it again and had my sister. He kicked me out, but my mom used to send me money regularly, a lot of money. One night my sister-" he started to tear up. I pulled him to my chest as he sobbed into my shirt.

"Zo, you don't hav-"

"No, let me finish. I want you to know" I started massaging his head with my fingertips, in an attempt to calm him down.

"One night, my sister, Sydney, called me screaming for help, so I reached there as fast as I could but I was too late." he paused and took a deep breath.

"He killed them." I pulled him closer as he continued to sob. My poor baby.

"He's been raping both my mother and Sydney, but when Syd fought back that day, he wanted to raise hell for it. I don't know how he didn't end up in prison, but he just continued on with his life, while mine was ripped to shreds." he took another pause and gathered his thoughts.

"Some years later, his house burned down and he lost his private hospital, so he was broke and homeless. He started coming to my job and harassing me, to help him. I just ignored" as you should.

"One night I parked my car in the back because there was no place to park in the front. I passed an alley to get to my car but I was stopped. It was him. He begged me to help him get back on his feet. I tried to ignore him, but he wouldn't quit" he sat up straight, I could see the anger on his face.

"He told me I was ungrateful and all that bullshit. But what really sent me over the edge was when he said that I was just like my mother and sister and how he should have killed me too" he inhaled and looked at me. By now I was angry with him too

"I lost all my patience and well... I killed him. I smash his head in, I broke his arms and leg, if I had a knife I-" he stopped

"Jonathan Healie, The worst father in the world", wait. Did he say Jonathan Healie?
