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.
My grip on his trousers tightens, his expression stoic as he stares down at me and I have no idea what he must be thinking."I beg you, save me from that man." I cry placing my head on his legs."Little red.. Come out, come out wherever you are. Come out dang it!" He roars from somewhere behind us and I gasp, crawling forward trying to put as much distance between us.He turns around and stares at me as I move backwards in fear, my back making contact with a wall and preventing me from going further."If he finds me, he would surely kill me this time. I can't let him find me. Please help me!" I let the tears flow freely from my face. Why wouldn't he help me? Why was he just staring at me?He cocks his head, staring at me before he walks off with his men behind me.When he gets out of sight, my sobs gets louder and I cry my heart out.He'd kill me when he finds me, I should just come to terms with it. I couldn't escape him, I can't escape from him.Pulling my knees to my chest, I place
The sound of birds chirping combined with the rays of the sun, which came in through the window, falling on my face woke me up.Groaning, I flip my body to the other side of the bed to avoid the sun rays touching me.Hold on. Sunrays? Birds chirping? My room doesn't have any window to let the sunrays in.I felt confused as I thought about this, trying to remember all that happened last night.I ran away from Daniel's house, then I ran into an alley where Daniel caught me once again.Memories of last night floods my head and I am filled with a new sense of terror.Gasping, I shoot up from the bed, looking around to figure out where I was. Daniel caught me! He'd surely punish me now.. He would…"Glad to see you're awake." A deep voice that clearly did not belong to Daniel said and my eyes shoots to the corner of the room where a man sat, his face not visible."W..wh.. who are you?" I stammered out of fear, pushing back to the head of the bed. Where was I? This is clearly not my room. D
Natalie stares at me in horror with her hands covering her lips in shock.Why was she staring at me that wa… Oh.I finally realized I was standing before her, naked and vulnerable at the moment, my scars completely visible to her.I stare at her silently, waiting for what she would do, i waited to see that look of disgust on her face, just like everyone else that saw my body.I am shocked when she breaks out in a sob, and I stare at her confused on what to do.With tears in her eyes, she walks to me wrapping her arms around me and pushing my face into her chest.My heart rate increases because of the physical contact between us, my body itching to get her off me."I'm not going to ask you what happened, I'm not going to make you tell me what happened. I'm going to wait for you to feel safe around me and tell me what happened." She says still holding me tightly.Even if she had asked now, I don't want to tell her."You do realize your holding a naked female right?" I ask her still stan
