Lorenzo's pov:

I was getting ready for the ball.

My dad said he was going to introduce me to someone. I don't really care who it's going to be. As long as she leaves me alone. I wasn't interested in love.

I wore a black basic suit. I always wore a suit but now it's all black.

I grabbed my mask and sprayed on some perfume.

My mom came into my room, "you ready, boy?" I was, whatever my dad chose as a challenge I will do it.

We got into our car and drove to the place. It was castle looking. My dad bought it for this event. He properly wanted to show off his pride and money.

My dad didn't do much in our mafia. It was in his name but I do all the work. He just lays in his bed with champagne and women.

We were of course the first because we organized it.

I got up the stairs to the office to sign some things.

I was finally done signing a 100 papers, I heard music from downstairs. I have been here for an hour so guests must be arriving.

I walked down the stairs. A waiter came to me to offer champagne. I didn't feel like drinking tonight. If something happened I wanted to be there sober.

I leaned against the stairs.

My eyes saw a girl that looked lost. She tried to look for someone but couldn't find it.

I immediately recognised her. It was Lillian.

She looked beautiful. Her dress hugged her body at the right places, her hair was smooth and curled. Everything matched.

Our eyes met. She had these beautiful green eyes, there was a certain spark. I felt like I needed to protect her to keep the joy there. If she will live this life in the mafia, the spark will go away quickly.

Someone bumped into her. I wanted to go to her but it looks like she knew the person, she looked at me before going away.

Her glance and eyes did something to me. My dick was so hard right now, it looked like it was poking a hole in my pants.

Last week I had the same incident.

I was on a mission that didn't end very well. I had cuts and bruises all over my body. I came home and she immediately ran to me. Her face looked worried. She sat me on the couch and got the emergency kit. When she was taking care of my wounds she was constantly going left and right. It was annoying me, so I pulled her into my lap. I immediately regretted that decision. My dick went straight up. I didn't know if she felt it. I caught her looking at my body, it was kinda funny. When she took care of my lip she grabbed my face and leaned close to me. I could smell her perfume, it was good. When she did that I thought I was going to explode.

She had a certain control over me that I didn't like.

I heard my dad announce the challenge. It was easy.

I looked over to see Lillian sitting with her family. Her face looked frightened and terrified. She definitely didn't kill anyone and it was her first time doing something like this.

The first man was called. He grabbed some things and started.

My focus was still on Lillian. Her face was hiding into her brother's arm and he had his hand on the back of her head to make sure she didn't look.

She is not made for this world I taught to myself.

A few other people's names were called.

I heard my dad announcing me to the crowd. They were all expecting something huge from me.

I looked one last time at Lillian. Her ears were covered. She definitely heard about my brutal killings.

I grabbed a gun that was laying on the table and just shot him.

I returned back to my seat. People around me were looking and whispering. They couldn't believe what I just did.

Lillian looked a bit happy and relieved, my goal was succeeded.

That was my goal, to make her feel a little better and not traumatized.

My father is probably going to be very mad but at his point I didn't care. I only cared how Lillian was going to do this.

Her name was called. I was nervous for her.

She stood up, walking towards the table. She was playing with her bracelets and rings.

I saw her grabbing the gun, That was the easiest and quickest way.

Her hands were shaking while holding the gun. The prisoner was making it even worse, he was crying and yelling. I could see the tears in her eyes. She wasn't ready for it. Her arms were starting to weaken, she almost dropped the gun.

I needed to do something or she would be killed.

I stood up and ran to her. Took her waist to stay balanced and took her hand to pull the trigger.

We shot him together.

Everything went so fast I needed to process what I just did.

I didn't think about it, it was almost like a instinct.

Normally I wouldn't help anyone, I would do nothing, but now it felt different.

The crowd was gasping. Lillian looked shocked.

I took her hand and we ran upstairs.

I took her to the office, so she could calm down a bit.

She was crying, I didn't know how to comfort people, I never learned it from my family or friends. They always taught me to be hard and emotionless.

We couldn't be standing here so I took her hand and forced her to sit down with me.

We sat in silence for about 5 minutes. I think we were both processing what just happened.

"Where's Clara?" I heard her soft voice. Is that what she was thinking about? She nearly died and she is thinking about my daughter.
"She's home, my mom is there."

"Are you really Lorenzo?" I was a bit confused by that question. "Yes, why?"

"What am I supposed to call you? Mr Sainz?"

"You can call me Lorenzo if you want" her lips curved a bit by my answer.

"Did you know I was in the mafia?" She looked at me, I knew I had to answer that question. "Yes, I know a lot about you."

"Tell me what I like" that was a hard question, I didn't know her personally.

"You like babysitting"

"Do your research better next time." She smiled, god I loved that.

"I guess we better go." I didn't want to go, I wanted to stay here. Here I had no problems and nothing to worry about.

She stood up. I looked at her, I noticed something on her arm. It looked like a bruise.

"Who did this?" I was getting a bit angry.

"Ooh, I just bumped somewhere, it's nothing." she was lying, you don't get a bruise that big from bumping in somewhere.

We were going back to the crowd, back to reality.

We walked downstairs, it felt like everybody was looking at us.

I saw my father approaching me, he looked mad. "What the hell is wrong with you son, you damaged your and our reputation, everybody will think we're weak."

"Listen well father, I was not going to let that poor girl be killed by your stupid challenge, I did what I had to do."

He was angrier with my answer. "Since when do you care son? Are you getting weak for some girl? If you don't do what I tell you to, you can see here in heaven."
