The King Wanting His Queen

Not a Little Girl Anymore

Lorenzo and Tony didn't leave right after the other two men left, Lorenzo needed a few moments to calm down before going back to Elena. He stood sitting at the table with both his hand clinched into tight fist. It took all his energy to keep from hitting Rocco after he had the audacity to demand an apology for his son. Rocco's face had dropped when Lorenzo told them the only reason Dante was still breathing was because of Elena. In the same breath he also let them know that they shouldn't take his kindest for weakness because the next time he wouldn't be as willing to let shit go. When Lorenzo released the tension in his body he looked up to see Tony watching him.

"You want him dead don't you?" Tony asked as he sat down next to Lorenzo.

"He should be dead for disrespecting my wife." Lorenzo growled in a low voice feeling the tension come back. "But I won't do that to her."

"Things seem different between you two." Tony said and Lorenzo just nodded his head at Tony's statement. "Your queen is now standing front and center, what about the court jesters you have standing around her?"

"Not one of them women stand on the same level as my queen." Lorenzo said as he stood up and adjusted his coat. "Elena is waiting; I need to go."

After sitting in the lobby waiting for twenty minutes Elena realized she didn't have her clutch or phone. Her clutch was still up in the room and Lorenzo still had possession of her phone. Gino had initially been pacing close behind her but Elena made him sit because he was making her feel nervous. The two of them stood there talking about random things and Elena noticed how he kept asking her about different things Angel would like. When she decided to tease him about it he was quick to try and change the subject. Just when she was about to ask Gino if he had a serious thing for Angel she saw Antonio and Rocco.

When Antonio noticed Elena sitting there he quickly walked over to her. She had gotten up and was saying something to Gino but Antonio stopped them from walking away. "Elena I would like to talk with you."

"I've got somewhere to be." Elena said shaking her head as Gino moved closer to her. Antonio no longer ran his organization but he still had everyone's respect, so Gino decide he would stay silent as long as no one said or did anything to threaten Elena. "Maybe we could talk another time."

"Can you give me five damn minutes?" he said to her in a stern voice.

"Elena if you want to leave we can." Gino said placing his hand on her shoulder, making sure to let her know that she had a choice. "No one will stop us." He said looking over at the two men then back to her.

"It's ok but thank you Gino." Elena said with small smile then she turned back to Antonio. "You have until my husband returns." Elena said hoping Lorenzo didn't take much longer.

"How long do you plan on punishing your mother for the choices I made?" Antonio asked in a low voice. "She misses you dearly."

"For as long as it takes for me to get over the fact that you traded my life for yours." Elena snapped at him." What you did was immoral and completely wrong. You married me off to the highest bidder, my life could have been in the hands of a complete psycho and you didn't care."

"I chose Lorenzo Moretti because I knew you would have good life." He snapped at her.

"You didn't know that you only hoped." She snapped at him. "As long as there is air in my lungs I will hate you for taking this choice away from me."

"Little girl you better watch how you talk to your father." Rocco snapped at her.

Gino was about to snap at him but Elena spoke before he could open his mouth. "If you have not noticed I am no longer a little girl anymore and you no longer have a say in my life. You no longer have power over me!" She snapped at him. "I suggest you watch how you speak to me."
