I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Fifty Eight

MORDECHAI LENETTI

I stayed downstairs and allowed the men to do their job. They were currently searching Vanessa's room for any trace. Juilius was seated with his legs crossed as he hummed and played a game on his phone. The place seemed as if we were robbing a bank, guns were everywhere. These men were highly trained professionals.

My phone started ringing and I checked to see it was my dad. I already explained the situation to him so why was he calling?. I answered it anyways wondering what he was ready to argue about.

"Dad I already-

"-Your mom is leaving me", he said so fast that I almost didn't hear it.

"What?. Why?. What happened?", I asked a bit too loudly gaining Julius' attention.

"We were at home and she was going off about how I never loved her and she wants more that what I can give her. She looked me in the eyes and told me that she has a lover. I don't know where I went wrong son. I feel messed up right now. I don't think I'm going to make it, my heart hurts", he said sounding so broken at the end.

"Dad, you're going to be fine ok?. Just stay calm as soon as I sort something out we'll be able to talk. For now I want you to take it easy", I replied as he sighed and said a small 'ok'.

I end the call and placed the phone in my pocket. I took a seat and clasped my hands together. I just hope Vanessa was alright. A few seconds passed before there was a knock at the door. Julius got up and so did I.

"Vanessa! It's me!".

I went towards the door and opened it. It was ofcourse my brother Matteo. We weren't as close as we should be but I had nothing against him. Dad had always looked down at him because he plays too much. He doesn't understand the importance of responsibilities and settling down - dad's words, not mine.

"Hey, umm, is Vanessa here?", he asked placing both hands on his hips.

"Who's this?", Julius asked before I could answer Matteo.

"Hi, I'm Matteo, Mordechai's brother. I'm just here to chill with Vanessa. The party I was planning to go had been cancelled so I'm bored", he replied before looking back at me.

"You're cute", Julius said with a small smirk.

I shook my head as I stepped away from them. I'm not interested in listening to them flirt. I watched as the leader of the search came downstairs and handed me something. I took it and examined it.

"It's a club called 'Red Flamingo'. It's located in North Carolina, I know the location", the leader said as I checked the paper some more. This was where Vanessa was.

"Find anything?".

Julius appeared beside me as the leader tells him about the club. It's going to be a few hours until dusk so I better get going.

"Let's go", I say ready to walk off but Julius stopped me.

"It's going to take about ten hours to reach North Carolina by car, it's going to be late-

"-I don't care when I reach, I'm not waiting any longer. Are you going to help me or not?", I asked as I cut him off. I was paying him and I couldn't do this on my own.

"Ah yes alright. Let's go get your lady"  he said before walking off with me behind.

We all left the house including Devin who was terribly quiet. He hasn't said a word since we got here. We got in the car but stayed behind as the other cars take the lead. My mind was in a different zone. No matter what the cost was I had to get my woman back. I started the car and drove off the lawn.
