*Traitor*

Chapter 1

"Lorenzo?" Carly called out as she walked through his front door. His guard had let her in, telling her that Lorenzo was inside. He wouldn't be expecting her but that was part of the plan, she needed to prove to him once and for all that she could be with him without thinking of Sonny. She needed to get him out of her head once and for all and she intended to convince Lorenzo that was already the case. Of course it wasn't, she couldn't just forget. That they had been married, been in love, had children, any of that she couldn't just forget. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, as if giving herself the willpower. She might not have gotten him out of her mind yet but she would do it, Lorenzo deserved that much. She opened her eyes and looked around. There was no sign of Lorenzo anywhere. Her brow furrowed in confusion and a little bit of worry. She was about to go back out and ask the guard when she heard voices from the balcony. Wondering who he could be talking to, she quietly walked to the doors, staying hidden by the curtains.

"I told you to get out of town," Lorenzo said angrily.
"And I will but first I need to take care of the McCall girl." The other man said.

Carly peeked around the corner to see who it was but didn't recognize the bald man. But what did he want with Sam or Lorenzo for that matter.

"She doesn't matter, your only concern is to leave town." Lorenzo insisted.
"She's a witness, she needs to be eliminated."
"Listen to me, it doesn't matter. Once you leave, she has no suspect, nothing."
"It does matter, I'm not leaving any witness. Plus, Morgan saw me."
Lorenzo swore quietly. "You let him see you?"

Carly froze, what did Sam and Jason see this guy do and what did Lorenzo have to do with it? She wouldn't allow herself to believe that he had done anything wrong. Their voices were getting fainter so she leaned closer to hear better.

"I didn't let him see me, he came in when I was about to get rid of the girl."
"Even more reason for you to get out of town,"
"Not until I get my money." The man grinned wickedly.
"I already paid you," Lorenzo argued.
"I require 10,000 dollars more."
"For what?!" Lorenzo cried.
"For killing Morgan and the girl,"
"I don't think so, get out now!"
"Not so fast Mr. Boss Man, you'll pay me alright. You know why? So I don't tell Mrs. Corinthos that you arranged to have her husbands car blown up."

Carly gasped and turned back so she wasn't facing them anymore. Lorenzo had arranged for the bomb in Sonny's car. How many times had she defended Lorenzo to Sonny, to everybody in fact. She started to run to the door but she bumped into a table, causing the lamp to fall to the floor with a loud crash.

The man turned and saw Carly's retreating figure and smirked. "I guess that threat doesn't work now does it."


"What are you talking about? What happened?" Lorenzo asked, looking around frantically, wishing he could see.


"Mrs. Corinthos graced us with her presence, unfortunately she didn't wish to stick around that long."

"Carly!" Lorenzo cried out, trying to get to the door as quickly as he could.
"Mr. Alcazar?" The guard asked as he approached.

"Is Carly gone?" He asked.

"Yes, she left in quite a hurry. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lorenzo swore again, much louder this time as he pounded his fist on the door.
