Episode 10

The next day Mark woke up seeing the serum in his arm and the blanket over him and looked around confused and got up trying to leave as the door was open and without security watching and went out but was surprised by Willy who took him back to the room: "What do you think you were doing trying to escape from here like that?”

Mark moved away from him: "I need to get out of here, I need to take my camera to the newsroom, I need what's in it to pay my family's debts."

Willy laughed looking at him: “You think you can escape from here without journalist congruence Mark, as soon as you step outside this mansion or even this room your poor parents and your beautiful sister Anya will be dead as well as you will be the choice and all yours sir Mark?”

Mark looked at him: “You can't hurt my parents or touch my sister or I swear.”

Willy looked at him smiling: "Or what will you do?"

Lorenzo, who was listening to everything from the hallway, entered bringing a tray of fruit: “That's enough Willy, this conversation of yours ends here now get out of here immediately.”

Willy looked at him: “Look what you're doing boss” and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Mark sat down looking at him: “You shouldn't have saved me, you should have let me die once and for all.”

Lorenzo placed the tray on the table and looked at him: “I have a proposition for you?”

Mark looked at him in surprise: “Proposition? What kind of proposition, Mr. Lorenzo?”

Lorenzo looked at him intensely: “To become my lover, that way I pay your family's debts and you and they will have everything you never had before.”

Mark looked at him totally distraught: “You're crazy, how can I become your lover? I hate you, because of you I'm stuck in this place and trapped, do you really think I can become something of yours? It's madness from your disgusting head.”

Lorenzo took his camera out of his bag, smiling: “So you don't want this, do you?"

Mark saw his camera in his hands and when he went to try to take it back, he ended up being hugged by Lorenzo and received a deep kiss and when he moved away from him, he stared at Lorenzo confused and not knowing what to do: “But why did you do that?”

Lorenzo smiled looking at him: “I want you for me and I don't care about your answer and about this camera here, it will be confiscated with me until you decide to be mine, Mr. Mark.”

Mark looked at him furiously: “You're sick, that's all it can be.”

Lorenzo turned to look at him: “I'll resolve all your family's doubts, just accept me at once and don't tell me you feel nothing for me, tell me you felt nothing with my kiss.”

Mark looked at him: “I didn't feel anything, you're going crazy, that's all it can be.”

Lorenzo approached him, smiling: “Yes, I'm even crazy about you, Mr. Mark, you're driving me crazy” and held his face.

Mark pushed him back: “If I accept you, you promise that you will help with my family's doubts and that you will also not do anything against them?”

Lorenzo looked at him: “If you behave yourself with your family and no one close to them will suffer anything, you have my word, so your answer is yes, Mr. Mark?”

Mark took a deep breath: “Okay, I'll accept it, but you don't have to expect much from me.”

Lorenzo approached him and began to kiss his neck and caress him: “I promise you will be very happy by my side, journalist.”

Mark was just quiet for a moment: “Can you tell me why you lied to me?”

Lorenzo pulled away, looking at him, smiling: “At first, I didn't want to lie, it just happened and when I saw you for the first time in the cemetery, I was enchanted by you, it may be crazy, but you made my heart beat like never before and so I had you investigated and ended up discovering that you are the journalist who was investigating my father and my entire family and who has countless evidence against my family.”

Mark looked at him for a while: “I can't deny it's a lie, but what I was going to use this time was your photo, which I would use the payment from the photos to pay off my family's debts.”

Lorenzo looked at him: “So you have a lot of pictures of me on this camera?”

Mark looked at the camera: “Yes, I do, but I can delete them if you want, just don't ruin my camera, please.”

Lorenzo looked at the camera: “Why are you giving so much importance to an old camera like this?"

Mark looked at him: “Because it was my parents who gave it to me as a birthday present, that's why it's very important to me.”

Lorenzo looked at him: “You love your family very much, don't you?”

Mark looked at him seriously: “My parents and my sister are very important to me.”

Lorenzo got up and went to the door: “I'll deliver your camera soon and make sure you eat the fruit and take your medicine, I don't want my boyfriend to get sick again and Mark don't try to fool me, don't make me hate you, do you understand?” and went out, closing the door.

Mark sat down after taking a deep breath and put his hand to his chest feeling his heart racing and then put his fingers to his lips and remembered Lorenzo's kiss: "But yours on me because I didn't do anything, I must just be going crazy from being locked up here for so long” and took a fruit and began to eat, confused by what he was feeling for Lorenzo.

Lorenzo, in turn, entered his room panting and went to splash water on his face in the bathroom and then looked at himself in the mirror: “Lorenzo, control yourself, he's still not trustworthy and you have a lot to worry about.”

Willy entered knocking on the door: "Are you okay, boss?"

Lorenzo left the bathroom drying his face: “Yes, I'm fine, I want you to check the Mark family's doubts and pay them all off.”

Willy looked at him: “Are you serious, boss, what are you doing anyway?”

Lorenzo looked at him, taking the towel from his face: “I like him, my friend, I know he's an enemy of the family but I like him and I will protect him from anyone, including the family if necessary, so from now on no one touches him, not even you.”

Willy laughed, looking at him: “Who are you and where is my friend with no time for love?”

Lorenzo looked at him: “That brunette managed to distract me, really, so now he's mine and he accepted.”

Willy looked at him: “What did you do to him, boss?”

Lorenzo looked at him: “You're crazy, I would never hurt him or do anything he didn't want to either.”

Willy looked: "I understand the boss, don't worry, I'll take care of what you asked me to do and you be careful with your feelings, being weak for love in this family is a death sentence, you know that, so take care” and left.

Lorenzo looked at him as he left: "Worse that I know, my friend” and threw himself on the bed remembering his kiss on Mark and smiled.
