To Be Yours Again-Chapter 260 Turned red

*DANICA*

As they continued to fight, Lorenzo blocked every jab and kicked as high as his head.

Roaring, Lorenzo pushed the Burglar headlock and squeezed his neck tightly that soon his face turned red, then blue, then purple.

"Don’t kill him!" I yelled, my heart in my throat.

The police will be here any minute and I didn’t want things to get complicated. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lorenzo glared at me, a mad, vicious animalistic look in his eyes as if he had become someone else completely, a ruthless killer.

"Andro... please.” I murmured.

He grunted before releasing him and once freed.

The burglar dropped to his hands and knees, spitting and coughing as he sucked in labored breaths.

Lorenzo turned towards me.

At that moment, the burglar reached for knife and sliced him on the leg.

I gasped and swiftly rounded them up, angrily smashing the bottle on his head.

He fell flat on the floor.

When I turned around, Lorenzo looked stunned at me.

"You told me not to kill him.” He grumbled.

I shivered. “Oh my God! Is he dead?nI just kill a person.” I panicked.

He grinned. “Relax, I’m just messing with you...I’m sure he’s still breathing"

I hope so.

I stared at his leg and saw blood trickling down his feet.

I hurriedly searched for the first aid box and made him sit down.

As I treated his wound, the police arrived.

After a few questions, they took the burglar away assuring me that he would be lock up for a long time.

After dressing Lorenzo’s wound, I hurried up to Lucy’s bedroom.

She was still awake and still looked frightened.

"Oh my baby.” I cooed, sat on her bed and hugged her.

"Is the bad man gone?"

"Yes, he is...and you don’t have to feel scared anymore, I made sure that he won’t step his foot into the house again.”

And that was Lorenzo, I turned to the door and watched him leap in.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked.

"Of course. This is nothing. It doesn’t even hurt at all."

He sat on a chair and slowly stroke her hair.

My heart bled at how tender he was treating her.

"You should have seen me out there, princess, I was amazing, like superman.”

I scoffed.

"That’s why you’re my Andro.” She squealed.

My Andro?

"Amazing, my foot, I helped you remember...you’re a fake superman.”

"Ouch.” Lorenzo held his chest causing Lucy and I to burst into laughter.

When we put her to sleep.

I tidied up the living room so no one would step on any broken bottles.

"Are you okay?" Lorenzo asked me.

"Yes."

"He didn’t hurt you before I arrived, did he?"

"No.”

"I’m sorry for not coming home on time. When I got to the house and saw that the window doorstairs was broken, I knew there was something wrong.”

"Why did you come home late anyway?"

"I started another job, I’m still working at the construction site but I decided to add another job to it. I’m one of the security men at a bar and my shift ended at 10:30.”

I frowned.

"Why? Why do you need to work so much?" I asked, annoyed.

"I want to..." He suddenly gasped and held his head.

I rushed towards him.

“Andro."I called, worried.

"Ah.” He groaned.

What was happening?

I recalled the burglar had hit his head against the wall.

I often watch this in movies.

People having amnesia sometimes regain their memories like this.

What was happening?

Were his memories coming back?

Oh damn!

He was gonna hate me...so fucking much.

After a while, he let go of his head and was panting heavily.

"What is it?"

"I just felt a sharp pain in my head.... it sometimes happens to me....I think my memories are trying to come to me.”

I swallowed. “I should get you some pain killers." I stood up but he held my hand.

"You’re what I need, Dani"

He pulled me to sit back down and then hugged me.

"What did you remember?"

"This time, it was about...I saw some men...I think I was surrounded by them..and..." He paused.

I gulped and stared at the wall.

The longer I kept this secret from him, the more he was gonna hate me when he finds out.

But how do I tell him?

Do I just say...‘Andro, I know who you are. You’re Lorenzo Morreti. You’re fucking rich and you broke my heart before so I decided to hurt you back...oh damn!’

"Why are you working so hard?" I asked him, chosing to change the topic.

He lifted up his head and stared at me.

I started regretting changing the topic.

"I want to be good enough for you, Danica. I want to be able to provide everything you need. I’m in love with you and I want you to feel the same."

************

*LORENZO*

Danica stood up from the couch.

"I told you falling in love wasn’t an option.”

"I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help it.”

"Then get rid of it."

"If you could tell me how, I would, but I don’t know how.”

"You have to find a way.”

I stood up and hovered above her.

"I can’t, Danica. Truth is, I don’t want to. I love feeling this way. It’s a joyful feeling, the sound of your laugh fills my soul and the feel of your lips on mine is heaven..."

"So you want me to feel the same?And then what?"

"We could date..."

"Date? Andro, you don’t even know who you are. You don’t even know if you belong to another person. You have no right to feel this way.”

"But I do. I just don’t care about anything else right now. I just want you to be mine."

"I can’t be yours, Andro."

"What are you actually scared of?Don’t tell me you don’t feel anything for me at all?" I asked, agitatedly.

"I don’t. And I can’t fall in love with someone who might leave me sooner or later.”

I moved closer to her.

"I will never leave you, Danica"

"You don’t know that. When you regain your memories, you will have to go back to the life you had. A life that I’m not part of. So stop...whatever it is you feel for me has to stop."

"What if I want you to be part of the life I had?"

She looked away from me.

"You don’t understand.Just...we can’t work, Andro. So stop this.” With that,she walked out of the living room.

I sunk back onto the couch.

I did everything Markus told me to do yet I keep getting rejected again and again.

**************

*DANICA*

Cora had been asking if I was okay.

She had been checking on me, worried that I was traumatized about the incident with the burglar last night because today, I had been acting so down.

I was sad....sad that Andro was Lorenzo.

For the first time, I wished they were two different people.

Deep down, I know I had come to like him again.

If someone had told me that I would come to like Lorenzo this much again? I wouldn’t have believed. Now I feel suffocated that I can’t have him.

"Danica, there’s someone at the restaurant, he wants to see you.He’s at the table close to the window."

Sighing, I nodded and took off my apron.

I walked into the restaurant and made my way to the table.

My footsteps came to an abrupt halt seeing the person.

"Danica."He breathed, standing up.

I swallowed.
