   [ DESTINY  CARTER ]

I woke up around nine in the morning after a peaceful night under the effect of sedative pain killer.I felt softness under my back.

Why my cellar bed all of a sudden felt so feathery and the black tattered walls as white as snow?I rolled my eye balls in my surroundings and then reality strick me.

All the scenes from last day displayed like a film in my memory and the handsome man,who saved me from my scarred life brought me here,at his place.

He is a rich guy!

I thought.

My lazy eyes perplexed when the sun rays hit my vision through the large windows.Though they were coming through the thick canopy of oak branches but for my tired eyes they were too sharp.

I slowly put my swollen feet on the cold floor when a wave erupted goosebumps on my skin as the marble was as cold as ice.

I looked around for bathroom.Luckily I didn't had to search for a longer because there was only two doors in the room,one was the main door and another I supposed was bathroom.

And my guess wasn't wrong,as I turned the knob of the second door which was on the left side of the bed,the magnificent bathroom with a walk in shower,jaccuzi with Semiprecious Stone Slabs covering the four walls.

Striping off the clothes I wore,I turn on the shower to let the warm water touch my wounds and bruises.

I assessed my reflection in the framed mirror.There were countless scars on my shoulders,back and abdomen.The water was soothingly giving a gush of fresh pain in my body.

The warm water gave a relief to my sore muscles but the fresh wounds got more worse swallowing me again in that moment when I got that deep cut.

"Hey little kitten enough of your hide and seek game now I want to taste your fresh innocence."He growled hungrily gazing his wolfie eyes over my body .

"No you can't I am not your slave."I tried to push his giant frame while he leaned more on me literally crushing me under his lust.

"You're because once I cast my eyes upon something,that thing belongs me to now please me."He smirked opening the zip of my top.

I didn't know from where I got the strength and dare,I kicked on his manhood who never get satisfied.

He bawled in pain but grabbed my hairs .

"You flesh of a whore.I will cut your little wings."Saying this he picked a knife from the table and jabbed it in

my abdomen.

Victor Niccoli.

This name had given me the deepest scars on my soul that can never be healed.

He had given me the deepest scars that even dunes of good memories can't blemish with their healing power.

After few minutes,I grabbed the pair of jeans and plain shirt which was kept on the rack with a sticker on it that it was for me.

I combed my hairs after that and decided to discover the place behind the four walls of the room.The long corridor led me to a huge rectangular hall covered with extravagant wooden flooring.There were glass walls on the three side through which the lawn and swimming pool could be seen.

There were total five person,two men sitting on the sofa while a beautiful young woman was standing.Her face hung low as if she was in deep thoughts.Her face looked similar but with whom I couldn't solve the puzzle.

And the rest of the two men were standing there with guns in their hands.Who were they and why they looked dangerous and where was He,my saviour?

"Mia signora good morning come have a seat."One of those sitting man said to me very politely in his broken English accent.

I quietly obeyed him and occupied

the edge of vacant sofa.Thus the five pair of eyes zoomed on me.My pulse rate begun to slow down because they were weird yet seemed kind.

"How are you now. I mean your wounds."The woman asked me with concern.I must say her voice was as melodious as a cockoo bird.

"I can't say that I am okay."I answered with quivering lips.The pain in my soul didn't let me hide the fact that my body was in extreme pain.

"Hmm please have breakfast with us then you can go back to your room,a doctor will come to check you in afternoon."She told me with an assuring smile.

"Hey what's your name?"One of those men asked me thus I got a chance to observe his features.He was a handsome young man barely younger than my saviour but resembled him.The same blueish grey eyes,high cheekbones and sharp nose but his hairs were cardamom brown unlike His.

"Destiny."I meekly said playing

with my nails.

"I am Alessandro,Stefano's youngest cousin and they are also our cousins."he introduced himself with a playful smirk pointing at the woman and other boys.

"I am Povetta,Ales's elder sister in fact only sister to all De Niro brothers.Girls are rare in our family Destiny."The

girl said.She was not wrong as her name was a tongue twister for the people of this country.

"I am Adam,half British like you Signora and they are our security head."The other men pointed at the two statue like men,he wasn't as gallant as Alessandro in fact he gave me similar vibes as Him.

"Who is Stefano?I mean you mention him but he is not one of you?"I danced my gaze among all the male faces.

"Your saviour and the master of this house mio bella signora."Alessandro answered.

Stefano,so his name is Stefano.

It fits him,indeed no other name could suit him like Stefano.

Where is Stef..Stefano?"I said with confidence because they didn't look scary or I didn't sense any kind of danger from them as they were generous towards me.

"Brother is in his study room ,where no one can enter not even us and please next time address him as Sir,I fear he won't like strangers to call him by name.Even we do not use his name."Adam eyed me.It means they were very close yet they are so formal

He isn't a dictator,is he?

"Come lets have breakfast then we need to go out for some important work Destiny,if you need anything you can ask Billy,he stays at the mansion 24/7."Ales told me,"Well I also spend most of my time here with Zia Lilliana,you can call for me any time."He added winking at me causing me to blush.

"Ales don't try to hit on Stefano's guest.I don't think he would appreciate your chivalrous act towards the lady."Povetta eyed her brother.

We had our breakfast in another room which was as mesmerising as the other explored place that I had seen there.Alessandro and Adam left along with other security man left the mansion .

Although they had told me to take some rest before the doctor come,I wanted some fresh air.After spending two decades behind the fence of that hell ,I wished to kiss the sky and explore the real world .

"Mr. Billy where is the garden located actually I want to have some fresh air."I looked at the man,who was assigned to assist me.

He stared at me without any expression.His silence somewhere gave me an intuition that he wouldn't allow me to trespass their territory where I was just a refugee.

But he spoke,"Go in the right corridor from here ,there you will see another hallway enter in the northern door ,it will lead you to the garden but don't go in the south there is boss's study room and he won't appreciate someone invading his personal space."He warned me.

I chipped a small thanks to him and made my way to the right side giant glass door.Carefully taking every step like a kitten,I reached in another hallway where he told me to take the north path but my curious legs didn't budge to step forward but insisted me to sneak in the forbidden zone from where only darkness was radiating.

It was really weird because the whole mansion was designed in way that sunlight fills every corner of the house but why this corridor was so lonely and dark and why he chose to this place as his study room.

With these I stopped at one of the two door.The room wasn't locked.I knew that I was going to commit a sin by betraying my saviour but my heart told me that for some unknown reason I need to open the mysterious door.

I was welcomed by darkness.Only a faint ray was falling on a covered table through the thick curtains.When my eyes adjusted their focus in the thin visibility,I realised that I brought out a skeleton from the cupboard.

There was a layer of dust on every single thing that were covered with white cloths but the thing that caught my curious attention was a huge portrait of a couple who looked like a royal couple.

The man was wearing a black suit .He had the same charming eyes as Paul's and the woman beside him probably was one of the most beautiful faces I had ever seen.She was tall,milky skinned with a tinge of rosiness.Her raven black hairs were neatly hanging on one shoulder.She wore a maroom velvet gown that perfectly kissed her carves but hee blueish grey eyes they were exactly as Stefano's.

They were his parents!

"How dare you to come inside this room."My skin hairs stood straight when a rage filled manly roar echoed in the room.
