I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Fifty Six

MORDECHAI LENETTI

I didn't show up at the office yesterday or today.

I haven't even answered any calls from my dad. I just couldn't handle anything right now.

I took another sip from the Jack Daniels bottle that I was holding. It's been two days since I talked to Vanessa. Her words kept replaying in my head. I thought that she would've fought harder but she didn't.

I've tried calling her but there was no answer. Was she trying to erase me from her mind already? It couldn't be.

I miss seeing her beautiful face and those mesmerizing eyes. I wanted to scream and shout and trash the place. Just to release my frustration on something.

Maybe I should go see her.

I stood up and went to the closet and took out a shirt. I just hoped she hasn't left the city yet because that would be all hope lost. I took up my keys and phone before leaving the room.

Life doesn't make sense if you can't be with the one you want.

I was so eager to see her again. A part of me still wished that she would've fought a little more. I knew how messed up she felt about the situation but a little extra fight does count.

I wasn't going to blame her for what she said. Maybe I shouldn't have told her about what my dad said? No. I wasn't going to keep anything from her. That would just overcomplicate things.

The elevator came to a stop and I made my way to the silver Sedan which I hardly ever drive. I sped out of the garage and was on my way to see my woman.

My woman.

I want her as mine and mine alone. From the time I first kissed her to when I made love to her.

I reached the house in a couple of minutes due to the speed I was going at. I parked the car and got out. I went up the steps and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later it was opened by Devin. I wasn't very fond of him and I knew he wasn't of me either.

"Mordechai, what are you doing here?" He asked with a very confused face.

"I'm here to see Vanessa," I stated but his face remained the same.

"Vanessa isn't here. Actually, I thought she was with you all this time."

That was when reality hit me, something was definitely wrong. I stepped inside, and together we made our way upstairs. Vanessa's room door was locked, but I had only one way to get it open, and I knew it was the only chance.

I kicked it down.

Devin and I both checked inside. Her closet was partially empty. Did she really leave? I took out my phone and tried calling her.

I only heard the sound of vibration coming from somewhere under the bed. I watched as Devin took up Vanessa's phone.

"She didn't leave the city. She was taken," I said silently as my face went emotionless.

"I thought she was with you all this time. I only came home this morning and I checked but she wasn't here. Why did you bring her home in the first place?" He asked, crossing his arms.
