WINNIE'S POV

"Tesoro" i turned around to face him with tears streaming down my face. I threw the file at him, it hit his chest then scattered to the floor.

"Did you all sit together and laugh about how much of a fool i am?"

"Baby...."

"Why Enzo? How much do you hate them? How important is the deal you wanna take from the Martins, that you used an innocent person." I had tears streaming down my face.

"Baby please let me explain"

"This is way beyond explanation Vincenzo!"

"Please just hear me out"

"Okay, i have one question"

"Did you have any idea about this when i told you about my past" i crossed my fingers, praying he would say no.

"Tesor......"

"Answer the damn question" i told him sternly.

"Yes, i knew about all this before then" a deep sob tore through my throat. My heart hurts, every hope i had vanished with that statement.

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘮 𝘪 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?

I cried bitterly, covering my face with my palms.

"Angel please don't cry" he pleaded with me. He moved closer to me but i took few steps back.

"Did you ever love....no did you ever cared about me? You know what? Don't answer that" i said frantically. Scared of his reply.

"You had to put me, my heart on the line for a stupid rivalry revenge. I'm done" i went to out the office but he held my wrist.

"Don't fucking touch me Vincenzo"

"No...."

I didn't wait to hear what he had to say, i walked out the office and checked my phone to see a text from Marcus saying he was outside.

I ran out the front door to Marcus's car. He drove off without saying anything.

"Are you okay?" He asked, only after driving a long distance from 𝘩𝘪𝘴 house.

I burst into tears, Marcus pulled the car to a stop and embraced me. It was warm and fatherly. We stayed like that, until i had no other tear to shed.

"Where should i take you to?" He pulled away and started the car.

"The penthouse"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

He took me to the penthouse, escorted me to my door step before leaving.

After thinking long and hard, i realized there was nothing left here for me. It's time to wear my big girls pant and go back home.

I called my friends and they are on their way to the airport. Marcus was driving me to the airport. The only things i left with was my phone and the cloth i was wearing. I left everything else behind.

"Hey boo" Lu hugged me the moment she saw me at the airport.

"Hey Win" Belle joined the hug.

"Hello Love, are you good?" Dante took me away from them and hugged me too.

"We broke up, and i decided to move back to America. There's nothing else here for me, btw i have only a month before i will need to go back."

They all looked surprised and lost.

"I'm sorry i called y'all out like this but i can't leave without seeing you"

"Can you at least tell me why i'm going to beat up my boss?"

"No don't......"

"That's wasn't what i asked you" Dante seems really pissed.

" He knew all along about my family, he knew who i was, turned out he got close to me because, our families are big rivals and enemies. He used me." i shrugged, biting my lips to stop me from crying.

The girls hugged me again, and the tiny thread i was holding on to let loose. I broke down into twars into of the people i consider my friends. I trust these three with my life.

"I love y'all. Thank you for everything, for always checking on me, for being genuine, for the love and care you showered me. Thank you so much"

"We love you too" they all said. The girls cried with me, while dante consoled us, also trying not to cry with us.

I heard the call for my flight passengers, i raised my head to see Marcus standing there looking at us......me especially, with worried glance.

I walked to him. And pulled him in for a tight hug.

"Thank you so much Marcus"

"Have a safe flight Kiddo" i smiled

"You will be fine." I nodded smiling.

I waved bye to them all and boarded my flight.

When the flight landed i took a cab to the house.

The cab was driving into home, i saw a lot of cars outside i think they have visitors.

"Miss Winnie" it was one of the security guys Mark.

"Hello Mark" i greeted him, and went into the house.

"Where us everyone?"

"They have a meeting going on now in the office but I'm sure you can go in"Winnie nodded to that

I went straight to my room, as i didn't see anyone around. I think they're all still in the office.

I entered my bathroom, everything was how i left it. I sat in the bathtub and left the shower hit me. I cried so much in there that i wished i cried out all the hurt.

I turned off the water, took off my clothes and went to bed. I was so exhausted that i slept within few seconds.

AUTHOR'S POV

"So that's it then" Vis said to everyone in the room.

They had a business meeting, which was hosted in their home. This is something they didn't do much because Winnie wasn't comfortable with stranger after the whole ordeal.

They all stood up as their visitors were leaving. Vis and Francis best friends and business partners were talking to them when Mark came to them.

"Excuse me sir"

"Yes Mark" francis asked.

"Miss Winnie is back, she asked about you all but i don't think she found you."

"Bloody hell" Frances said

"Are you foreal right now?" Kenny argued

"Look I'm not in the mood for this shit" Mavis said coldly.

"Your sis is home?" one of their friends asked but got ignored.

The brothers all ran to their baby sister's room.

Opening the door, they saw asleep
, wrapped in blanket. It didn't take much to know she was sleeping naked. They all knew she does that whenever she is stressed.

"What is going on with her?"Kenny asked.

"It looks like she has been crying the whole day" Vis mumbled to himself but everybody heard.

"She looks smaller" Stephen said quietly

"She looks so fragile and in pain" Frances told them all.

"What happened to our sister?" Vis asked again, more furious than before.

GRACE'S POV

I'm really worried about my baby girl. She has been a shell of herself since she came back. Her nightmares came back stronger. I want to help but i don't even know where to start from.

She doesn't leave her room. She gives fake smile and say she is okay but she is anything but okay. Last night she woke the entire house up by screaming out for someone named Emzy or was it Enzo, I'm not sure.

She is heartbroken, im her mother so i can tell, i want to know who this man is and what he did.

I have to do something before i loose my daughter.
