Where is everybody by the way?" I ask her looking out the classroom door. There wasn't any one in the classroom or even hanging around the corridors. It was just us two here. Where did they go?"Oh, you didn't know?" She asks and I give her a blank look."If I knew about whatever it is I'm supposed to now about I wouldn't be asking where they were now, would I?" I ask her hoping she understands that the question she asked me was a little bit dumb. And she calls me the dumb one."If you were in school yesterday, you would have known that the P.T.A meeting was today" she says.Why is she talking like I skipped school on purpose yesterday?P.T.A meeting? They have one of those today? "That means our guardians were here. Right?" I ask and she gives me a duh look.I wonder if Nico would come because k am certain Aunt Sofia wouldn't be coming for me."Do you think Nico would come? Since he is supposed to be my legal guardian and all" I ask Andrea and she shrugs unsure. How did I expect her

"So why are you here? You have a sibling here? You look like you go to this school though" Ashton asks me and I smile at him, but I felt pained. Do I look that small? "Actually, I go to this school" I tell him and his mouth widens in an 'oh' and I nod, he looks like he is done with high school, so obviously be is going to be older than I am"What grade?" He asks me and I reply " Final year". And once again his mouth forms into an 'oh'. "I thought you were in your tenth or maybe eleventh grade. For a moment there I was worried you were still a minor" He chuckles, rubbing his neck awkwardly.Oh... So I look that small then"So you are eighteen then? Just to confirm" He asks me trying to be sure and I nod laughing, even though I wasn't laughing on the inside. He thought I was a kid."Yes, I'm eighteen. How about you?" I ask conscious of the eyes on us, both from the female sitting next to me and from Nico too."Oh, I am twenty four" He says. Oh, he is an older guy, I like."That's coo

*Domenico Perez's POV*I looked at a naked Ashton as he struggles trying to free himself from the wall where he was chained to. "You know it's no use right?" I tell him so he would save himself the struggle and just accept his fate.He says something or tries to sy something but the gag he has on prevents him from actually speaking out."So you love taking numbers of married woman and send them your naked pictures, don't you?" I ask him twirling the knife in my hands.He sees the knife and his face pales in fear."Oh, don't worry. This isn't the knife I would use on you." I say and he relaxes a little."That is" I point at the cart one of my men had rolled in and his initial fear was back."Mmhhhmm...." He tries to speak but the gag prevented him from doing so."Don't you think we should tighten the gag a bit more? He isn't supposed to be making those noises. Whatever they are.. He is supposed to be totally quiet, right?" I ask Rafaello and he agrees with me, obviously he would I'm h

Unknown POVI watch Domenico hold that girl like she was his source of life, staring at them both with hatred in my eyes, I wait for my call to be answered."She's still at home" I say to the person on the other side of the call, my air pods plugged to my ears."Would she be going to school today? We might get it done after she goes to school or when she is on her way back" The person on the other side said. I look at them both one more time before replying to him."I am not sure if she would be going to school or not, doesn't look like at, but I can't be certain" I answer to the question my eyes still on them watching them as they stay in each other's embrace.Enjoy holding her for as long as you can, Domenico. Because after today, it might be the last time you would get to hold her while she is alive."Did you hear what I asked now?" The person on the other side of the call asked, breaking my thoughts.I stare at my phone in distaste, hoping I could kill him through the call. But u

We walked into his office together, and the sight of a mini table and chair painted pink caught my attention quickly. The table had files placed on it with plain papers and crayons lined on the table."What is that?" I ask Nico staring at the table like it would burn me if I got any closer to it, and maybe it would"That's your work space. I had my people set it up for you this morning before we left" He said proudly and I can bet he was feeling very happy about this."Don't you like it?" He asks and I look at the table once more, forcing a smile on my face. How do I tell him now? The bright pink looks like it would burn my eyes out if I stared too much at it. Coupled with the glitter and whatever they added to make it shine so brightly. Was it trying to compete with the sun to see who would shine more brightly??"But don't you think the chair is a bit too small for me?" I ask him with my right brow raised. It wasn't just 'a bit' small, it was wayyy smaller than I was. I mean, that c
