Mariana stared up at the skies, their beauty taking up most of her attention, she wondered if her daughter was one of them looking out for her from up there.
Her back ached for sitting so long but she didn't mind, this window was giving her some sort of comfort she lurked.The food in front of her on a metal tray had become cold, not even it's smell was able to awake her taste buds.
She turned her head and looked around the luxurious room that was given to her. Its dark colors stood out marching the way she felt to be exact.She pulled herself up, noticing the quietness of the house. Mariana wondered if they were any more people in this house than the man that had saved her and the woman that had served her food.
Her feet moved towards the slightly opened door, slowly as she slipped out into the hall way. A few rooms down the short hall, she walked towards the large balcony.This house was no where compared to Valente's, she could see the main doors that were closed, the living room so beautiful, the brown couches and the wine Cellar by the side where a well built tall man stood.
His back was to her as he worked away on his laptop and talked on the phone, an empty glass by the dark green counter. Damn this guy was filthy rich she thought more to her self.
She slightly moved her hand, loving the cold feeling of the golden rails and she strode down stairs.Her heart beat in her chest wildly, she didn't know what she was doing. Walking towards a man that she didn't know apart from the fact that he had saved her, could she trust him.
All her life she trusted men and they only betrayed her and destroyed her, what if he fell in that same category?
She couldn't stay away from him for long, she had to say thanks to him. He had given her a roof to sleep under and care she had never deserved.
"Damn it Gianni, how did the fucking cops get a hold on the drags. Man were going to loose millions to Russo " Marco almost yelled out of anger, he was walking on a thin thread with keeping his anger at a bay. Everything was working out like shit ever since Gaetano left for his sweet honeymoon.
How did he except them to handle this alone especially with Gianni going through a divorce, he felt the urge to scream out so loud.
"You can't be damn serious, we can't have Andrea in jail and how did the cops know when the shipping would start and..." He paused hearing a puddle of light footsteps, he placed the laptop on the counter and hung up the call.
Grabbing the black 9mm gun slowly making sure the person behind him wouldn't notice, he got off the stool and turned around so fast holding it in front of him and realising the safety.
Her eyes went wide, her feet froze. Was he going to shoot her, she opened her lips to say something but nothing could come out. Her palms had started to sweat, as her blue eyes locked with his chocolate ones.
Marco let out a sigh of relief before undoing the safety and placing the gun back on the counter.
"I thought it was some one else " he spoke up closing his laptop, his eyes watching the mysterious woman. Her brown messy hair, falling down her shoulders, her blue dot eyes sparking like the waters of the sea at night and the most sexist faint pink lips he had ever seen.
She was truly beautiful but unluckily he wasn't into women right now, only night stands could do the truck.
"Do you need anything ?" He questioned wanting to go back to his work as soon as possible but also he didn't want to push her away rudely.She shook her head and now he was confused, wasn't she going to talk to him at all. It has been almost seven days with her here and she hadn't said even a simple thing, he was even surprised to see her out of that room.
"Do you have a name ?" He added and she nodded, her eyes looked around as if searching for something big until they fell on a note book that laid on the glass table in the living room.
She took her steps towards it slowly while Marco watched her with curiosity and confusion, she picked it up and walked towards him.
She pouted, sadly she couldn't find a pen and he noticed.Marco moved towards his laptop and grabbed the gold pen off the files then handed it to her, she scribbled some thing down on the paper while he buried his hands in the pocket of his slacks watching her.
He wished Stephanie was around to help, at least she understood girls more than he ever would.
He hadn't noticed that she had finished writing whatever she was and walking over to him.She handed the note book to him and he took it reading through " Mariana Romano " he whispered, his voice deep where as she nodded fidgeting with the hems of his shirt that laid on her body, Sincerely now she could notice the smell of dry wood tugging at her nose.
" I will call you Gift " he whispered and her eyes widened that minute as she looked up at him wondering what exactly he meant.
But who was she kidding Marco Di Martino hates to explain himself
"You can keep the pen " he stated " I have to get back to work, feel free to do anything you want "Her eyes moved back to the pen, gold and beautiful. She looked up at him as he grabbed his phone dialling Gianni's number once again, he sent her a smile before turning around and trying to focus.
Blue crystal eyes stared back at herHe had found herThere's no way that he had found her.Her heart pumped wildly in chest as he grabbed her harshly by the wrist.' No No No ' where was taking her, he couldn't take her back to that hell hole.With much energy she tried to pull out of his grip but he was far
Somehow drunken Marco has managed to get Mariana safe to bed, all the comments he kept throwing her way there was only one that was stuck in her mind making her smile before going went back to bed"Happy Valentine's day beautiful " he had whispered while walking out of the room leaving her to stare his way with surprise, a simple smile finding it's way on her lips.It was somewhere in November and he was drunkenly wishing her a happy Valentine , she was now yearning to know his name.He had helped her and then got her a place to leave, he may act cold but deep inside him laid a good heart.Mariana drifted back to sleep, to think of it seriously it had been a long night.***Marco groaned as he got out of bed, his head hurt like a bitch but how could he blame it when it was all his fault. Drinking was starting to become a habit, he was starting to stupidly rely on it.He hit the s
Marco leaned back against his car, his impatience and frustration slowly sipping in slowly. He felt the urge to walk inside that police station and find out what exactly was going, he wondered where Dominic really was to erase this mess.Marco's phone vibrated within his hand gaining most of his attention, he took the call on the second ring. "Davin " "Sir this new girl that.." Davin tried to explain knowing one wrong word he would be dead."Why the hell is your voice shaky, and what the fuck is going on ?" Marco roared"This new girl has Stephanie on gun point " Marco cursed silently hanging up as Andrea and Gianni walked out of the building staring at him weirdly."Get your fucking asses in the car, we have some where to be "
Mariana raised her head slowly looking around the room, her head hurt badly so was most of her body. Her eyes couldn't open properly but at least she could see something a little clearly.The room was white with blood splashed awkwardly on every wall making her heart beat increase randomly. She wasn't born yesterday or joined this life style yesterday.She was in the death room, the three red tool boxes in the corner made a sweat break out on her forehead. Panic was getting to her, her pulse high and her thoughts fuzzy like she was high on cocaine.She had to get out of here but how, noticing the tight ropes; her whole body froze. She was tied on a chair for fuck's sake she was damn tied on a chair. Her legs and chest too, the adrenaline pushing her to the edge.Positioning her legs and holding her ground she tried to stand up in a weird way, good enough it was a wooden chair making easy way for her
"Davin, untie her " Marco ordered his man who had also walked into the room with a bandaged shoulder, "But boss she.. ""Are you questioning me Davin ?""No boss ""Then good " with that Marco strode out of the room not even bothering to look back.Mariana felt her self sigh out of relief, after all Marco Di Martino wasn't going to kill her anymore and for the job she had been denied those skills since she was sixteen how was she going to pull that off.A loud growl pulled her out of her thoughts, she looked up at Davin.A man who was well built and big enough to scare all the day lights out of her, he had black messy hair and green - grey eyes that held nothing but coldness whilst his red plump lips.The men here knew exactly what they call beauty without a try, Mariana couldn't help but notice the angry scowl on his face.Mariana smiled not so surely hoping he would let go of that anger, she never meant to shoot him
Mariana sat by the window silently staring outside, the rain kept hitting on the glass it's rhythm soothing to her ears.Beryl had covered her thoughts, all she could see was daughter.Stephanie had come up a while ago asking her to come down and have dinner with them but she seemed to had lost all her appetite within a snap.Mariana had unknowingly gone back to pushing herself away from people without realising it, Her thoughts, her past and her pain had become the centre of her world once more.Marco walked in to her room and she didn't even notice, he leaned by the door and stared at her. His thoughts moved back to the first day he had walked into this room after she had arrived, the way she had pushed him away still hurt a bit.A lone tear escaped down her cheeks but there was no way she would notice, there was no day or night her eyes weren't empty even when she was trying to run away.Yet they were the best beautiful thing he had ever
Davin was walking by Mariana's room towards the basement but suddenly he came to a stop, curiosity enticing his nerves. He seriously hated this girl with so much passion yet found himself wanting to see what she really was up to.He looked inside, more careful so he won't be noticed only to find the room empty, even the bed where she should be at this time.Turning his direction he walked in to her room slowly, the only window in here was closed so she certainly hadn't escaped but where was she if not in here at 2: 47 in the morning.Prying his eyes away from his wrist watch and looking around once more the light from the bathroom caught his attention "Mariana " he called out but he still got only silence.Pushing the bathroom door open slowly, he froze his eyes wide as he stared at the girl on the floor. He moved towards her kneeling besides her, he didn't care if she was laying in a pool of her own
Within the midst of darkness, a forge she wanted to escape so badly. Her feet scrapped against the rough floor with each step tookHard and faster, her breathing hallowTears sprinted from her eyes as she came to a sudden halt. " Beryl " She called out loud but got no specific reply, turning around in circles she called
