Escape From Hell

Chapter 9-Fixing things

Lorenzo's POV
As we walked through the building to the other one, i realized how mess of a place it was

I can't believe i kept her here of all places

"I can't believe you kept her here" Andrew said judging the place in deep disappointment

"I barely pay attention to where the hostages are" i said shrugging my shoulders and i knew Andrew was planning to kill me with that expression on his face

Soon we reached Faith's room and i placed my hand on the doorknob

"Faith" i called out to her but the other end was awfully silent

"Is she in there?" Andrew asked furrowing his eyebrows in confusion

"I believe so" i said as i called her out again knocking on the door in process

"Man I don't think there's anyone inside" Andrew said and that made me worried

She was definitely inside

I budged the door with the door knob but I realized it was locked from the inside

"The door's locked" i said as i once again tried to budge it

By now, i was getting extremely worried and anxious

Without thinking about the consequences, i slammed the door knob hard and the whole thing got knocked off

The door opened and i walked inside quickly to see her astonished face sitting up straight on the bed

Her eyes looked puffy and red, her expressions looked like she was in a deep sleep

Wait. Was she sleeping?

"What the hell" she said angrily as she looked at the broken door

"He thought you ran away" Andrew said almost laughing and i felt like killing him

"Talk about trust" Faith said as she got up and straightened her clothes

I looked around the room unable to meet her eyes and i noticed how bad of a place this was. It was even worse than a hospital

"What do you want" Faith finally spoke and my throat went dry

What was i here for again? Oh yea. To talk to her.

"He wanted to hear your side of the story and hopefully clear things before they get heated" Andrew said vouching for me and i glared at him

A wide smile appeared on his face as he walked out leaving us alone

Faith looked at me with hatred, the look that I didn't expect to receive from her

Was i really that big of an asshole?

"Uh so I believe I didn't hear your side of the story" i said to her and she just shrugged

"I don't really have a story. You gave me money, i went home and called my boyfriend, we met the next day and i told him about it. We spent the night working on the budgets and everything because I genuinely wanted to help him. The next morning i got a call from the hospital and so i left, came back to everything gone" she concluded her story and by now her voice was calmer and somewhat distracting

"So you genuinely didn't know he was planning to run away?" I asked her as I realized I really was an asshole

"No. I only read a letter in which he said he got this really cool offer to open a restaurant in Paris and he genuinely wanted to go for it leaving everything behind" she said in a sad voice and i felt my heart beating faster at her words

What was happening to me?

"I'm sorry" i said looking around. these words barely come out of my mouth because the only times i say it is when i genuinely mean it

When i looked back at Faith, she was looking at me with shiny eyes and i realized she was tearing up

"What happened" i said as if it wasn't obvious

You made her cry you stupid Lorenzo

"Listen Faith. I wanna make it up to you" i said and she looked at me with hope

"I will no longer keep you here. You can take one of the rooms in the house. Live like a member of the house" i said quickly

"Until when?" She said a little loud and I didn't have an answer to that

"Until i can trust you back." I Said in a low voice

Despite this story, I couldn't just trust her like that. People who lie are also very good at acting, not saying she was involved but I'm really not taking my risks. I'm doing that for her she should be thankful

"Fine. I don't blame you. You're in the mafia or whatever and you have to consider your risks" she said in a soft voice and i felt a small smile appearing on my face

"Can i leave right now?" She said looking around at the room and i nodded

"Let's go" i said and we walked out of the room together

As we walked to the main building, i told her about the few important rooms like the kitchen, dining area, my study and my own room

This building was entirely mine and my dad didn't live here nor visited that often. I warned her to not leave this building no matter what

By the time we reached her room, i was concluding on the general design of the mansion

"This is your room. You can live here until whenever. You can come out of this room and walk around, go to the kitchen or meet me if you want to" i said emphasizing the last sentence

"Also my room is the one there" i said pointing to the door across hers

"If you need anything, you can ask me" i said softly and she looked at me

She was probably wondering why i was doing all that for her

"Also you can ask the employees here, they'll get you anything you want" i said quickly after and she nodded

I opened the door for her and when she closed it behind herself, i walked away with a strange happy feeling in my heart
