To Be Yours Again-Chapter 274 Until now

*LORENZO*

As I walked home that day, I was furious.

My aircraft must have been messed with! Someone tried to kill me and Danica kept shut about everything up until now.

I recalled how bad she treated me when I started living with her. Why did she do that to me?

Revenge.

She had been taking revenge for what I did to her before. For breaking up with her.

My fist clenched.

She never really had any genuine feelings for me.

When I got home, I started putting my stuff together, getting prepared to go back to where I belong.

"I didn’t know you were back.” Her voice sounded behind me as her arms wrapped around my belly, back hugging me.

I shut my eyes, wanting to melt into her arms.

But I couldn’t.

I placed my hand on hers and removed her hands from my belly.

I slowly turned to face her.

"Are you okay? You don’t look so good."

"I don’t know if I should feel good about regaining my memories or not.”

She gasped moving backwards.

"When... how..."

"I remember everything now, Danica."

She suddenly grew pale.

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I...I just..."

"I am Lorenzo Moretti. Why did you pretend not to know me? Tell me!"

She swallowed. “If you really regained your memories...you would recall too what you did to me. How you cruelly abandoned me after promising not to! When...when I found you at the beach...I didn’t want to believe that it was really you. By the time I got you treated and all, I couldn’t deny that it was really Lorenzo Moretti. But then you woke up and you couldn’t remember anything. I was driven by anger and I didn’t want to have anything to do with you. So I sent you out at first. But then Lucy begged and I couldn’t bare to keep you out there all night as you were still hurt. I thought about reaching out to your family and telling them you were here but then I was scared. I was scared of being accused of having a hand in what happened to you. I mean, how was I supposed to explain to your mother who hates me that meeting you at the beach was simply a coincidence. I just wanted you gone, I wanted nothing to do with you. But I won’t lie, a part of me hated you and I wanted revenge. So I thought of keeping you here until you fully recovered, that is your physical injuries...”

"And the revenge was until when? Danica, it’s almost a year. Were you going to continue playing dumb about my identity forever?"

Tears dropped from her eyes.

"I didn’t plan to keep it away from you forever but then...I started falling for you...I became selfish, I wanted you to always be in my house. Telling you about your identity would make you leave, I didn’t want you to leave."

I scoffed. “Your excuse is pathetic...."

"I love you, Andro"

"I AM NOT ANDRO! AND YOU DON’T LOVE ME!" I yelled and turned away from her. “You’re only saying that because you know I’ve been dying to hear it, you’re saying that to try and make me stay with you and continue being your sex buddy, your feelings for me were never sincere. Thinking of what I did to you in the past, it’s understandable that you can never love me again, you were just using me and you planned on doing that forever."

"No, it’s not true. I’m sorry...I didn’t...”

"Are you okay now after deceiving me for almost a year?"

"Please..."

I bent down and got the rest of my things in a big bag.

When I stood up straight, she held my hand.

"You promised me that you would never leave me."

"You made me make a promise to you when you knew the magnitude of what you were asking for. We can never be together, Danica. We don’t belong together and I have scores to take care of. So now that you’ve gotten even with me, I will do well to forget about you."

"I’m sorry... I’m so sorry, Andro."She cried.

I snatched my hand away from her.

"I am not Andro!"

"Daddy.”

Tears flooded my eyes hearing that voice.

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

*DANICA*

I tried to wipe my tears away on seeing my daughter walking in.

But they won’t stop coming.

She stared at the bag he was holding.

"Where are you going?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He walked closer to her and bent down.

"Hey, Princess. Do you remember that thing I had? You know...when I didn’t have any memories of who I was. Well, now I do. And I have to go back to where I belong.”

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Do you really have to go back? You could stay with us. We’ll take care of you...mommy and I..."

"I can’t..."

"Did mommy make you angry?"

"No...I just..."

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"When you go...would you still come back to visit us?"

He sniffed and I could tell he was crying too.

He stood up straight.

"Be a good girl, okay?"

"Don’t go, Andro."She cried, holding his hand, tightly.

I couldn’t say anything anymore.

I was just crying, hoping Lucy can convince him to stay.

But he pulled free from her hand and made his way out of the house.

"Mommy, do something!" She cried.

I covered my mouth with my hand and cried knowing I wouldn’t be able to do anything to stop him.

Lucy ran out of the house.

I hurried after her.

When we got outside, we saw Lorenzo get into a cab.

"DADDY!" She screamed and ran after the cab.

"Lucy..." I called and ran after her to stop her from running after a moving vehicle and at the same time, wishing Lorenzo would stop the cab, wishing he would hear me out.

But the cab didn’t stop moving.

And when I caught up with Lucy...

The two of us cried together having lost the one person that had made us so happy these past months.
