The bright yellow charming sun was slowly going out, caused by the dark clouds that were settling in the skies.The time was sharp past seven o'clock as the clock continued ticking down.
It was dusk leading to night time and it was raining ponderously, as Lorenzo was still in his office.
Getting up from the soft small couch he was sitting on to go beside the window to have a better view of the rain, with a cigarette on his right hand and a picture in his left hand .
He was staring at the picture with mixed emotions on his face. He didn't know what to feel while staring at his late sister's picture.
Nova.
The picture in his left hand was the only thing left of her that was still in his possession. it was a picture of him and Nova, when she was still alive at the hospital, before she died. Her big pretty smile was always one of a kind and she never forgets to let out a smile, even when she's hurting so much.
The one thing Enzo could also never forget was the look on his sister's face when she was being taken into the operating room, for the surgery. Her pretty hazel eyes were sparkling with so much hope with an innocent smile that never left her lips until the door was shut, that was the last time he saw her alive.
He can't still believe that he failed to protect his own sister, and he still blames himself the most every single day for Nova's death because she was the only family he had yet, he couldn't protect her.
He doesn't only feel hurt anytime he recalls Nova' death, but also feels like he's cursed also. Though Lorenzo knows pretty well his sister wouldn't want him to be blaming himself for her death. But he just couldn't forgive himself.
After their parents died in that car accident, he made a promise, not only a promise but also swore too on their grave to protect his sister, even if it causes him his life, but the funny fact now was she wasn't even here anymore.
She was dead and it's not that funny.
It has been eighteen years ago he lost Nova, yet he could still remember the incident very clearly like it was yesterday that it happened. it was so unfair that she had to die that way, poor Nova.
He could remember how much he cared and loved his sister, but all that changed after the death of nova.
Enzo lost himself to anger, grief and revenge, he turned cold to everyone around him, the only thing that has kept him alive and moving through out these years was the thought of revenge on his mind.
Lorenzo had instructed Cain, his personal assistant, to get the car ready and cancel every other meeting remaining for today, he had to see Nova, not minding the rain.
He didn't realize how much he had missed her until he saw her picture inside one of his office drawers where he had kept it. And today unfortunately happened to be Nova's death anniversary. Knowing how easily distracted he could get once the thoughts of Nova comes to his mind or anytime he sees her picture.
Enzo had no other choice but to keep her picture with him always, even though it do distracts him.
He was still lost in his thoughts and had forgotten he had a cigarette in between his fingers that almost burned his hand, he crushed it on the cigarette plate when he started to feel the hurt. He was about to sit down when a knock Jorge door got his attention.
"The car is ready, Boss" Cain announced, moving closer to Enzo, with his hands infront of him and his fingers entertwined between them. He was able to observe his boss was in a very sad mood, watching him staring at the picture of his dead sister and tears rolling down his cheeks. Enzo's grown up man and wasn't supposed to be crying like a baby, but the problem was that, he just couldn't stop the tears from falling, he hasn't still getting over his sister's death yet.
The more he tried pushing them back in, the more they keep on forcing themselves out in their own. Those stupid stubborn tears.
This is the first time ever for Cain in his entire life to see his boss, Enzo, getting this emotional up to the extent of crying. His sister's death really hurts him a lot and his boss even let him see the tears.
Wow!. Who knew someone as cold as his boss even cries?. Cain thought he was a robot and not human.
He wanted to say sorry to his boss but their relationship wasn't that mutual for him to do so. He could even get fired for it.
Fired for trying to be a good person? Yeah.He could, leaving him no other choice than to keep the sorry to himself.
"Leave, I will be out in a minute" Enzo said to Cain in a cold voice, who stared at him, before leaving the office reluctantly.
He knew Cain wanted to console him about his sister, and he didn't need any consoling from anyone right now. It would only make him weak and being weak isn't his thing.
Cain walked out of the office, waiting outside for like three minutes before Enzo decided to come out. They both walked away from the office, before finding their way to the elevator with that cold look still on his face.
~~~~~
The Cemetery.
~~~~~
Few hours later.
The whole environment was quietened with no single souls in the graveyard except for Enzo and Cain.
The heavy flow and loud noise made by the rain that is falling was quite disturbing,but won't stop Enzo from kneeling down in front of his late sister's gravestone. He needed to pay his respects to her.
He paid no attention to the waters on the ground wetting his knees in the suit he wore. Cain was standing right beside him, holding an umbrella to prevent the rain from falling on his boss and an earpiece playing blasting music in it. His boss ordered him to do so to prevent eavesdropping on what he's about to say to his sister.
"Hi sis, it's been a very long time and i have really missed you so much, just decided to pay you a visit today. It's really funny how the years have passed by, but I still feel your presence everywhere with me" he let out a sad chuckle and continued.
"I hope you are doing well in heaven?. You don't have to worry about me, I'm in a very good condition and have a lot of money"He paused.
"I failed to protect you woefully as a big brother, but I'm still promising you I will avenge your death even if it takes the breath in me"He said with all vexation in his tone while he dropped the flowers on her gravestone.
"I love you Nova, I will make sure they all suffer for what they did.Every one of them would know how it feels to lose a loved one"
Cain didn't hear what he said,but watching the way his jaw was clenched made it known to him what he was talking about.
Avianna Queen would pay!.
The thief would pay!.
