A BREAKING POINT

●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●

VICTORIA STORMED INTO THEIR HOUSE, her emotions still heightened. She tried to calm down while she and Enzo were sitting in Axel's car, the bodyguard driving them back home, but she could not. Victoria had not said a word since they left the club and it was making Lorenzo even more irritated. He was still feeling like that because of Maya's advances he ignored all night and on top of that, his wife was now silently fuming with jealousy and something else he could not name. 

Lorenzo followed her inside, watching her sharp movements, and finally stopped her in their living room. He gently grasped her shoulders, turning her to face him. He could see the storm raging in her beautiful eyes and his hands slowly stroked her arms before stopping to rest on her hips. She turned her head away from him and he slightly furrowed his eyebrows. 

" Alright, Vi, talk to me. What's going on? " asked Enzo, his voice calm but laced with concern. He had a hunch about what was making Victoria fume (he even complimented her on it, because it was true —she looked hot when jealous!), but tonight he tried everything to push Maya away from him and ignore her while giving all his attention to Victoria. 

Victoria crossed her arms on her chest, but did not pull away from Lorenzo. Her jaw clenched and unclenched a few times as she struggled to find the right words and keep her emotions and feelings at bay, so she would not explode. 

" What's going on? " she echoed his words, her voice starting to raise with anger that had been simmering inside her for hours. " Maya was throwing herself at you all night, that's what's going on! "

" Sunshine, I wasn't even paying attention to her. I kept pushing her away and avoided her. You saw it with your own eyes. "

" I know! " Victoria snapped, her eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and jealousy. She hated herself for the fact that she could not deal with her emotions and feelings calmly right now, that there was a storm raging inside her and she did not how to calm it down. " But that's not the point, Enzo. She doesn't get it. She kept trying all night, thinking she had a chance with you. "

" And she doesn't have it, Vi, " he said firmly, stepping closer to her to close the gap between them. " I don't care about anyone else but you. "

" Fuck, " Victoria whispered and swiped at her eyes angrily, cursing the tears that fell. " Do you even know what it's like? To stand there, watching someone else flirt with the person you— " she glanced up at him, cutting herself off. Her voice trembled as she tried to hold herself together. 

Lorenzo used this as an opportunity to crash his lips against her with an intensity that took her breath away. His kiss was filled with all the words he had not said, all the feelings he had not been able to express yet. It was intense, raw, the culmination of every pent-up emotion between them— anger, frustration, love, and longing all tangled into one electric moment. But it was not gentle, it was not careful— it was fierce, desperate, an eruption of everything they had not been able to say until now. His hand tangled in her hair as he pulled her closer. 

Victoria gasped against his mouth, her body stiff for a split second before she melted into the kiss and her body responded instinctively, grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him closer as if she needed something to hold onto, something solid to ground herself in this whirlwind of feelings. Her heart raced as the last of her resistance crumbled. Victoria kissed him back just as fiercely, pouring every ounce of her frustration, jealousy and love into him, needing him to feel it as deeply as she did. 

Lorenzo's arms wrapped around her, pulling her flush against his chest until there was no space left between them, the kiss deepening as he pored every ounce of emotion he had into it too. This kiss was different from the previous ones they had shared. When they finally pulled apart, both of them were breathless, their foreheads resting against each other. The intensity of the moment left them both shaking. 

" You're it for me, Vi. Alright? " Enzo spoke up, his voice hoarse but steady, his eyes still burning. His hands cupped her face as he lifted her head to look at her eyes. " I'm so in love with you, sunshine, you have no idea how much. " 

Victoria's breath caught in her throat, her heart pounding in her chest so loudly she was sure Enzo could hear it. The intensity in his eyes, the raw emotion in his voice—he was serious. For a second, she could not find the words as if suddenly she had forgotten how to talk. 

" Enzo... wh..what? " she whispered, her voice cracking as if she could not believe what she just heard. And she actually could not believe it because he was Lorenzo, they had spent the first few months of their marriage arguing with each other non-stop as they did before they had to get married. He loved her? 

" I love you, " Enzo said, smiling at her softly. " You, Victoria, the queen of my heart and my empire, I love you, " he repeated. " I love everything about you, Vi. "

" Since then? " her whisper was soft as her fingers wrapped around his wrists while his hands were still cupping her face. 

" I realised it when you were kidnapped, " Lorenzo said, his voice low. " It was the few hardest days in my life, but it gave me more power to find you. But I don't know when it happened, I just... I just fell in love with you. "

" Good, " Victoria murmured against Enzo's lips as he leaned in again, their breaths mingling together. " because I love you too. "

" Since then? " he asked the same question she did, a teasing smile on his face as he leaned in closer, their lips mere inches from each other. 

" I don't know, but I realised when you held Oliver after Gabriella and Eddie asked us to be his godparents. "

" Oh? " Enzo arches his brow, the teasing smile still on his lips. " It only took me to hold our newborn nephew for you to realise it? "

" Shut up, " Victoria chuckled and pulled him to another kiss.
