Professor Maxwell stood in front of me with a sickly smile on his face, his brown eyes glinting in excitement as he licks his lips, raking my body with his eyes. I stood still as my body shook in fear, praying for Saint to come find me.What is he doing here? I thought this party was for people in the mafia? Does that mean he is part of a mafia too?Different question raced through my head at that moment, eyes darting around to find Saint. I find him a few distance away, talking to people with his back to me. “Excuse me." I muster up courage to speak, about to walk towards Saint.I am surprised when my wrist is held, someone pulling me back to my original position. “Now where do you think you are going? I just got here and you want to leave already?” He asks playfully but I hear the threat in his tone. Looking at Saint one more time, I make an attempt to call him but I'm stopped by Maxwell.“Go ahead and call him. Do you think he would care? In the midst of all these important pe
"You are mine.”For a moment everything else didn't matter and it was only the both of us standing here.He just said I was his. Saint took my side in front of all these people and called me his.The happiness I felt in me threatened to burst out as a smile spread from one cheek to another. “What are you smiling for? Silly girl.” Saint chuckles as he asks me, pulling my cheek with his fingers."Stop. Stop.You'd get his blood on me." I exclaimed slapping his hands away from my face.I touch my face and truly I had Maxwell’s blood on my face.“Let this be a warning to you all." Saint's voice booms out, getting the attention of everyone which was followed with murmurs.“She belongs to me and anyone who touches her next time would be losing more than his hands.” He threatens and I see them all shudder in fear, their eyes on me.Something moves in my peripheral vision and I turn my attention to it.Slowly I lose the smile on my face, the happiness being replaced with terror, and I desper
How do you tell the man you love about the man that kidnapped and tortured you since you were a child?The answer to that? I have no idea. I gulp while staring at him, searching for the right words to use.Saint stood still as he waited for me to speak, his face showing patience while I struggled to tell my story. “He is the only person I've known as family.” I begin and Saint's brows furrows in confusion, but he doesn't speak but let's me continue my story."Family doesn't mean we are related by blood, he kidnapped me when I was just a child and over the years my memories of my real family has faded so he's my only family.” I laugh dryly, blinking back tears from my eyes.I thought I was over this. Why do I get scared when I see him? Why does the memories still make me cry? "So Daniel wanted me to be his wife. He saw a five year old and suddenly decided he wanted to make her the perfect wife.”Doesn't that show just how sick he is? “He groomed me over the years, wanted me to be s
Santino's POV“Who let you in here?" I asked the person currently sitting in my living room, her legs crossed like she owned the place. “Santino darling, that's no way to say hello to your girlfriend you haven't seen in a while." She says, he red lips curling in a seductive smile."You are nothing to me. Neither a girlfriend nor anything else.” I snarled, my fists folding by my side.How dare she come here after so many years and claim to be my girlfriend?My reaction doesn't faze her, instead the smile on her face widens into something more sinister and I wonder why I ever loved her.“I know you're still angry I left you to be with someone else again. But you always run back into my arms whenever I come back. And I wonder what's different now. Is it because of your new toy?” Her eyes darken when she asks this, her lips still curled in a menacing manner. “Watch your mouth." I growled threateningly, ready to throw her out if she as much as threatens Micini.I know Ciara, and I know s
I paced my room anxiously waiting for Saint. Natalie said the woman downstairs was his ex but she has no idea why she came back.A million thoughts ran through my head and the chances of Saint replacing me frightened me. My eyes kept going to the door as I paced, expecting Saint to open it at any second. Natalie watched me from my bed, worry written all over her face.“Could you stop pacing and sit?" She orders me but I ignored her, still pacing.It had taken a lot for her to get me to shower while I waited, throwing on some clothes over my damp body.The door opened and I took a step forward about to throw myself at Saint but I paused in my tracks when someone else walks in.“Can someone tell me what the hell that woman is doing downstairs? And why is that bastard treating her like some visitor." Luca yelled with anger written clearly on his face.I stared at Luca with surprise as he demanded answers from us.That's right. I haven't seen Luca in days now, it was like he disappeared
Luca pulled me down just as the bullet went though the glass, cracking it. My heart jumped into my mouth as screams echos around, people running wild in search for cover. Struck with fear, I keep my head down as my heart beats violently in my chest. Daniel is here.. He is here and he would take me. Luca quickly put the car in reverse, turning the wheels sharply in an attempt for an escape.“Keep your head down." Luca orders, a curse leaving his lips as he pressed down on the gas pedal, driving off.I am surprised when I don't hear more gun shots following us.Why isn't Daniel shooting? I raise my head, looking behind us to see Daniel standing next to his car at a distance, a sinister smile on his face.The previous fear I felt earlier was nothing compared to what I feel now as realization dawned on me. He let us get away on purpose, he could have gotten us but he didn't. He just wants to play with me like he usually does. A dangerous game of cat and mouse. “What in the world di
“Because I have feelings for you." He confesses and I turn to look at him shocked.What!? “Wh-wha- what do you mean?" I stuttered, struggling to form a sentence as I stared in disbelief. He has feelings for me? I find it very hard to believe.I waited for him to laugh and say it was a joke, or for some kind of sign that would show that he was just joking.But it never came, instead his hand clasped around my small ones, making them feel hotter.“I- I don't know what to say." I say truthfully, not knowing the right way to respond to his confession.I wasn't expecting Luca to have feelings for me and I still have my suspicions that he was just playing a prank on me.Natalie had mentioned that Lucas only started talking to me just because be wanted to piss Saint off. How did he fall in love with me? “I know you think I'm messing with you, but I want you to trust me when I say that I'm not.” He tells me sincerely, rubbing my hand with his own.Slowly, I brought my hand out of his grasp,
Staggering, I lean against the wall next to me, my heart beating violently in my chest as I struggled to catch my breath.I can't stop here, Daniel can not catch me here. No matter what happens I have to escape from him tonight.I glance behind me as their voices gets louder. Breathing heavily, I start running once more, running into an alley.My feet throbbed in pain with each step I took further, threatening to give up on me any minute from now. But I don't stop, I can't afford the luxury of stopping to rest my feet right now. I had to make sure I escape from that man this night or else he would kill me. "There she is. Get her!" I hear one of them yell close to me, and I gasp, the panic within me intensifies.They are close by, I need to keep moving.Ignoring the pain I felt in my feet, I quicken my pace, turning a corner and hoping to loose them along the way.My leg wobbles as I run further and before I know it, I'm loosing balance about to make contact with the floor.Not now.
