Bullied To Love novel Chapter 5

He smiles and hugs me back. How I have missed him!

“How are you? How long has it been since I saw you? I missed you so much; even mama misses you too.” I say releasing him from our hug.

“I am fine, and I don’t know how long it has been since I last saw you, but I missed you too,” William says.

I am about to talk when I hear someone clearing their throat behind me. I look up and see Lorenzo looking at me as if I did a despicable thing by saying ‘hi’ to William. His hand goes around my waist like we are a couple; and he smiles at William, but it’s not a genuine smile.

“It seems you and my personal assistant have met before, which I don’t like very much,” he says, not even caring that William is standing right in front of us. I remove his hands from around my waist.

“William and I are friends, we went to the same university. I don’t understand what you mean by you don’t like him. It’s not like me being friends with him is any of your business. Is it?” I say while raising my eyebrows, not caring that we are in public discussing such a topic or that the person we are talking about is standing right in front of us.

“Your friend here is not one of my favourite people. You can’t be friends with him, because you can only be friends with whom I say you can be friends with,” he says with venom in his words.

Who the hell does this guy think he is, saying I can only be friends with people who he wants me to be friends with? If he thinks he can choose my friends, then he has another thing coming. What an asshole!

“Wow, I never knew you had so much power over my life that you can tell me who I keep as friends. You did not care to inform me about that when I became your ‘assistant’.” I say back to him while crossing my arms over each other. I wait to hear what nonsense he will say next, because what he just said pissed me off.

He can ruin my life at work, but he has no say about who I keep as friends. Because I allowed him to do too much to me in high school does not mean I am going to let him do it to me again. Enough is enough! Not that I said that out loud.

“It seems you two have a lot to talk about. I will call you Kat, just give me your number,” William says giving me his phone.

I take his phone from his hands and put my number in, even though Enzo watches with murderous eyes. Before I can say a proper goodbye to William, I am dragged away like a piece of sack and thrown in a car. He gets in with me and tells the driver to take us to our hotel.

“We have a lot to talk about young lady. I am so pissed off right now. Just pray I feel better when we get to the hotel, because if I don’t… what I plan on doing to you won’t be good, Bella.”
