An aloof man whose sleek, dark Armani three-piece suit accentuated his tall figure, strode toward a Rolls-Royce parked at the roadside. Just as his long leg was about to step into the car, an unfamiliar yet soft figure dashed against his shoulder.

“Save me... please,” the lady murmured in a barely audible voice that spoke of helplessness. What followed next was a wet sensation sliding down from his shoulder to his wrist.

Tears? 

The crease on Lorenzo’s face deepened more, and he lowered his soulless, black eyes at Venessa resting on his shoulder, silently tearing. 

He was about to feel disgusted and kick her away irritably, when the ashen face of Venessa appeared in his pupils. The guards were quick to react and wanted to drag the lady away when Lorenzo raised his hand to stop the guards.

‘’ Ivy?’’ His magnetic voice filtered out as the face had always been one imprinted in his mind.  

However, the lady had blacked out due to exhaustion. 

‘Could she be the one?’ His mind raced with anticipation and various assumptions. 

‘’ Master Lorenzo, isn't that the woman you have been searching for?!’’ 

Lorenzo’s assistant, who had been sitting behind the wheel, exclaimed when he turned to glance at the situation. 

Startled, his eyes flew wide. He couldn't believe the woman they had been turning the world to find had just appeared out of nowhere.

‘’ Did I say so?’’ Lorenzo’s response to his assistant was sharp as a piercing ice, squinting his eyes.

‘’ I can't be too certain due to a mere resemblance.’’ 

Because of the doubt, his body radiated intense gloom, drowning his anticipation.

He was so close, so close to finding her!

 At the same time, he caught a whiff of some shouts and turned to his right. 

‘’ Master, it seems she is not alone,’’ the assistant mentioned, also hearing the strange noises of men running in their direction. 

Lorenzo’s dark eyes landed on Vanessa again, and after a few seconds of consideration, he pushed her into the car and followed right behind. The aloof man thought of saving Venessa because of her resemblance to the one he held dear.

The moment the car door was shut, he ordered his guards to stop the incoming men. 

Afterwards, the car sped away like a jaguar racing into the wild night! 

In the distance, Logan and his men watched as the Rolls-Royce vanished out of sight after taking Vanessa, which seemed unexpected. Additionally, some men were advancing towards them, appearing menacing. 

Logan’s nostrils flared! He was inexplicably angry.

‘’ This is not the end, Venessa!’’

It was at this time that Valerie arrived at Logan’s side, holding him closely and blinking her eyelids. 

‘’ Logan, was sister saved by someone?’’ Despite asking sweetly, her jaws tensed.

She couldn’t help but curse Venessa inwardly. 

‘ Damn you, Venessa! How could you ruin my plans!’

However, Logan led Valerie away, answering her patiently, ‘’ Don't bother, Valerie. Venessa cannot always be lucky.’’ 

Then, he commanded his men, ‘’ Deal with these minions!’’ 

Subsequently, in the Rolls-Royce, Venessa, who had blacked out, suddenly jolted awake, trembling like a thin leaf. She looked like she had been terribly chased away from her unconscious state. Her whole face was clammy, dripping with sweat, the size of a pea.

She exhaled deeply, her eyes roaming across the interior of the whole car. 

Before her brain could process the whole situation, a burning feeling erupted like a volcano from her belly, spreading to her chest and whole body. It gripped her in a claw-tight manner, causing more sweat to drip rapidly not from her face alone, but from her entire body as well.

Hot! She felt incredibly hot, craving for an unimaginable thirst to quench the fire in her. It was as if her whole body was blazing! 

Venessa twirled and twisted her body on the car seat until her peripheral vision caught sight of a man, whom she couldn't identify. 

Gazing at Lorenzo’s icy but exquisite face like a masterpiece sculpture, she realized it was enough to make her lose it! Whatever this is, she couldn't resist the urge to grab him! 

Her senses were fading due to the burning effect. 

However, what she failed to understand was why she was feeling this way. Although she wasn't clear-headed, she could recall being forced to swallow some pills. 

So that was it.... 

‘ Logan, you bastard! You are so determined to ruin me!’ She yelled in her mind! 

Venessa’s movement didn't escape Lorenzo’s sharp eyes, but he was unbothered. He could guess she was drugged, but to him, that was her cross.

No other lady was of interest to him, and if they tried to, he wouldn't mind being the angel of their death. 

Due to his cruelty in not sparing women who try to be audacious, he was labelled as the  ‘ Heartless Hunk’ in the underworld. 

‘’ Julian,’’ he called his assistant, who was focused on driving.

‘’ Drop her at the intersection.’’  There was still an important meeting that couldn't be commenced without his presence. He had only gone to deal with some issues and was about to take his leave when Venessa appeared. 

To him, time was something he couldn’t spare, especially on women, and Venessa was no exception..... 

‘’ No!’’ Venessa shrieked the instant she heard Lorenzo’s order to his assistant and shifted towards him without thinking. ‘’ Don't push me away. Please....I need you....I need someone, I can't h.. hold it any longer.... It's killing me!’’ 

Tears gathered in her eyes instantly as she confessed, pleading with sharp breath....

Julian quickly lowered his head and pressed a button to make a partition appear, blocking his view.

Lorenzo’s eyes constricted coldly, snapping his head towards Venessa. With his chiseled face clouded in gloom, he exuded a chill that made people shudder. 

The terrifying aura bursting from him was enough to make the car space suffocating and unbearable for Venessa. 

Due to this, she shrank back in terror and trembled like a sieve, contemplating what to do. 

Regardless, the burning sensation was stronger, and thus she instantly gathered some strength, pouncing on him!

‘’ Please....I will pay you for this....name any amount!... Just make me feel better...’’
