The day went by fast, the horse ride was a bit awkward at first with Andrei sitting behind me and controlling Luc but it got better and I loved the feeling. We left late when the weather changed. A storm was coming and we had to leave or we would get caught in the storm.Now we were close to the mansion and I was staring out the window listening to soft jams on the radio."Just so you know, Nico would be really pissed, so you have to calm him down" Andrei tells me. He had to just tell me now?I tense when I see Nick standing outside with his hands at his back. Oh shit. We're doomed. I am doomed.He does not look happy. He looks pissed. Super pissed."I thought you told me not to worry about him?" I screeched,tensed. Oh no. Oh no. I am freaking out right now."I said not to worry about him when we were leaving not when we were coming back" Andrei says.I resist the urge to face palm myself. Is he being for real?I have to think of how to get out of this.I still have time to escape, I

"Go to sleep" He pats my cheek. "You would be going back to school tomorrow"I forgot about school. I forgot tomorrow is Monday. Shoot. I don't think I'm ready to start school tomorrow. I don't want to start school tomorrow. Can't I just quit?Now my previous fear was gone, and I had a different thing on my mind"Can't I just stay? I'd be good I swear" I plead with him, giving him the puppy dog eyes. He stares at me blankly."You're in your final year. You need to go to school. Sleep now" He stares down at me, trying to get me to submit to his orders and sleep"Still too early to sleep" Folding my arms around my chest, I stare back, holding eye contact with him.He likes telling me no, doesn't he. Let's see if he'd like me telling him no too."For someone who was afraid of me right now, you defy my order. I can get you killed right now for defying me" He threatens but his lip quirks up in amusement.It's just an empty threat. He wouldn't do that. "I wasn't afraid of you" I deny loo

Huffing,I walk past him heading to the breakfast table, he follows behind.Nico was sitting alone, with breakfast on the table. But he wasn't eating. Why?I sit and someone comes and serves me different dishes, piling my plate up"It's too much, I can't eat them all" I protested."You need food to grow. You don't eat much, you're starting to get lean" Nico says dismissing the person.A blush crept up my neck, he noticed I was loosing weight?I'd only eat what I can.I start eating, ignoring Nico staring at me. Why isn't he eating? Why is he staring?After what happened in the room, this is just awkward."Nico!" Chiara storms in glaring furiously at him.Oh boy. Drama to go with the food"Where is Amy?" She asked. She was pissed off, but why?"I sent her off" He says nonchalantly.He did? The girl that claimed him is gone?Finally!"Why?" Chiara demanded."While you're in no place to question me and my decisions, I'd only answer because she was your ward" He tells her."I won't have s

Shaking her head at me, she turns her attention back to what she was teaching.Well that's weird. She didn't scold me? Or threaten to take me to the principal's office.Really weird."Isn't it weird that she didn't threaten you" Andrea whispered. Oh she noticed too?"Hold on" Whispering again, she slaps the back of my head."Ow!" I turn to glare at her. The teacher looked at us both before she went back to her teaching."She said nothing, nothing at all" Andrea points out and I nod. That's strange for real. But did she have to hit me?"Mrs Pe…. Miss Russo please pay attention" The teacher calls my attention from the front.Was she just about to call me Mrs Perez? How did she know?Ignoring the slip up, I decide to pay attention in class.The bell rings and I'm happy. Lunch. Classes this morning went in a blur and I'm happy for that.Grabbing the lunch pack, I follow Andrew to the cafeteria and she buys her lunch.Opening my lunch pack, the aroma makes me salivate. Oh my."Is that a ful

The door slowly opens and someone steps inside closing it quietly behind them, they were trying not to make any sound, but i can feel their presence. I keep my eyes outside the window, staring at the empty space where Andro's car once was. I didn't want to turn around to see whoever that was. I'm certain that was Nico. I am hundred percent sure that Nico was the one who just entered.I didn't hear him move across the room, but I felt his presence behind me and my body instantly responds to him behind me."Bella" He called my name lowly, his breath fans my neck, sending tinglings down and around my body. But I wasn't having any of that."Don't touch me" I screamed at him pushing him away.He stood there, shocked. He was staring at me in disbelief, either at the fact that I screamed at him for the first time or the fact that I'm taking all my anger out on him. I found it quite shocking too. Maybe I got too comfortable with him, or maybe I forgot about who he really was. But the anger I
