Nat's POV
"We're here," Leo announces when we reach to some fancy restaurant I'd never been to.
Fancy places aren't my type.
It's like you're forced to be this really rich and sophisticated person that you're not.
Leo gets out of the car and beckons me to come out.
I shake my head and cross my arms.
He opens the car door and leans down and says, "Do you want me to carry you?"
"I said I don't want to come!" I say and slam the car door.
So much for calling him sweet.
Nat's POVToday was shit except when Leo took me out on a 'date'.Even though that date was forced, it still felt nice to hang out with Leo and just have a normal life, even if it was just for a few moments, it was still there and now, that's all that really matters to me.After all that I've been through, you'd think people would leave me alone for a lifetime but apparently that wish can never be granted.I can't believe that those Accardi people laughed at me and also I am so very unsafe now. I wish I could go back to Italy and back to that peaceful life, I was living in.I get up from my bed and go downstairs to my kitchen where I look for a snack I ca
Nat's POVTonight there's the football game. I'm planning to go instead of sitting and sulking at my house.Who knows it might actually turn out to be good.I've invited Leo as well.He seemed pretty happy when I asked him to come."Let's go!" Nina says with a grin and pushes me out of her house."Easy, woman," I say and she smiles in return.Her boyfriend's playing and she's pretty excited. She's wearing his jersey and she looks cute."Chris so gonna melt when he sees you," I say to her with a wink and she blushes.
Nat's POV"Hey!" I call out to Leo but he keeps moving and doesn't turn around.I run up to him and hold his arm."Why'd you come after me and not him?" Leo asks me but doesn't look at my face."Because he's not worth it, worth anything," I say but Leo still doesn't look at me and just snorts in return."What's the matter with you?" I shout at him. This seems to bring his attention to me and he looks at me."What? You're acting like all of this is my fault! You think I plan for this kinda stuff to happen?"I yell at him."You didn't invite him to the game?" he
Nat's POVIt has been a day since Leo's confession and I can't believe I kissed him in the parking lot of a restaurant.I touch my lips with my finger and can't help but think of how it felt when he crashed his lips against mine. I feel the butterflies in my stomach again and blush away at the thought of the kiss.And then it hits me, I shouldn't have kissed Leo.Leo stands for everything I should run from, hide away from and just never come in sight of. I can't seem to do any of those things though. For the first time in my life, I want to stay and whatever lies ahead of me but then the fear cripples in and know I just don't know what to do.Should I run?

Nat's POVI run out of my house as soon as I hear voices next door.Not a smart move for someone whom two clans are after then again, I'm not so smart after all.They seem to be of two people fighting.Having figured this much, I try to take a better look inside and hope that nobody sees my head bobbing on the fence.Praying that one of those people isn't Leo, I rush to the gate of Leo's house and try to see what's happening.I see Nick hitting someone really badly and to my horror I realize that's not the Nick side of Marco but it's Marco himself.
Nat's POVI stand there looking at Marco clean up the mess he made outside and I try not to throw up.Never in my life had I ever thought that I'd have to do this but here I am.I have reached an all time low.This was not the first time I had seen a dead body but this something you can never get used to this kind of stuff.I'm positive I will have nightmares of this for a long time.This is all too much.Thishadto be some stupid joke by Marco, just to scare me.But som
Nat's POVIt was early morning and the image of Nick smirking and telling me about his motive doesn't seem to get out of my head.What if start popping in my head and I try my best to let go of them but they too don't seem to budge.What if he gets to know who I am ?What if Marco is lying and this is just a sick game of his to kill me?What if it's true?All these what-ifs are giving me a migraine.But no matter how much I want to not think of these, I just can't seem to let go.I search f
Leo's POV"So," Alejandro takes a deep breath and says."Tell me, Alejandro," I urge him.After all what could be the worst case ?Let me guess-He is supposed to be the leader ?I was adopted ?There's something weirdly supernatural about me?With how my luck flows, it's probably going to be a weird mixture of the three of them combined with some next level shit.Yep, that's my freaking life now."Please don't be mad . The thing is that you don't remember clearly about the past because you had a car accident," he says with a stern expression.I had a what--?Oh, I didn't see this coming.Ahh yes, amnesia.Yep, that's a good one.Maybe that's the next level shit combined with the mixture.It's got to be.What could be worse than that?"What ?" I ask him, clearly confused."So you were in a car. Actually my parents and yours and me and you were in the car . We were coming back from a family vacation and we're on a high speed when suddenly a car came crashing --""Wait dude, are you try
Nat's POVI go back to my house at 10 in the morning to decide my fate.I am super worried.Going to Italy is probably good right now but I cannot leave Marco alone with Leo. God knows what stories he will tell to Leo. I shudder to even think of them.Leo had been sleeping when I went so I thought I would inform him through a note.Classic me.I left it at his bedside so he doesn't stress when he gets up he can read it and be aware of my whereabouts.Last night was so much fun, we binge-watched horror movies and eat a hell lot of pizza.
Nat's POV"Dude, how will we convince my mother for the sleepover? And I have been missing a hell lot of school. I am done for life" I cry out.I miss the times when the only thing I had to worry about was getting good grades. I mean, not to brag but I did get really good grades, not be-on-top-of-the-class-grades but close enough.My favourite subject was Chemistry and I remember I wanted to be a scientist when I grew.Now, that thought just seems like a dream I used to have and it just lowkey hurts but what can I do after all?Maybe, if miraculously, this shitstorm ends and I manage to get out alive I can do what I really want.
Nat's POVAs soon as the nurses are done with Leo, we both get out of this hospital before Leo's cousin, Alejandro comes and gets to recognize me and also hits Leo again.Weird jerk.As we are going out , after Leo has paid all the bills for himself , Alejandro and Mario ( Leo has decided to keep Mario in the hospital till the time he gets as it is the safest place for him ) I see an open door and a really pretty girl next to--"Marco?" I say out loud and my eyes widen at the sight.Both Leo and Marco look at me .Leo looks shocked and ready to kill Marco but just for the sake of this hospital and me, he doesn't do
Marco's PovAfter I shot Alejandro, I ran back because I had already lost a lot of blood and standing there as an idiot would just get me killed, nothing else.I wasn't just going to die like that. If I'm going to die, it better be epic like the death that El Macho has in Despicable me 2. Probably not that epic too, riding on a shark, strapped dynamite, jumping into an active volcano great but somewhere along the same line hopefully.So I ran. I ran and ran as far as my legs would carry me. I had been shot in my arm and things were bad in there .I couldn't feel my arm .It was all just numb there.That's likely to
Leo's PovI get up and run after the doctor.Well, I try to.It's hard to run with broken ribs."Where do you think you are going ?" Nat asks me with a stern expression.She's so scary right now. Its kind of cute though. She's like really tiny and she's angrily humping around. She's pissed at my dumbass for landing into trouble over and over again.It's kind of part of the whole package but she doesn't deserve the shit I give her. I smile at her which only makes her angrier and she smacks me on my hand and I pretend to get hurt which earns me a laugh from her."To
Leo's POVWe quickly go down and place Mario on the stretcher.I really hope he is alive.No matter what he is still family and an important member.Alejandro is about to pass out.Luckily, the nurse called two more ambulances for us.I can't actually believe this shit is happening, it's too much.Marco crashing our meet, Mario being shot in his heart and Alejandro and me being shot and hurt badly."Nice work today dude, " Alejandro says.Is he kidding me or is h
Leo's POVWhere did Marco come from?What the hell?Well if he wants to fight then I'm certainly up for it.I've been waiting to take revenge for the various sins Marco has committed in the name of family business. Sins that haunt me in my sleep, sins that ruined my life and took away any shot of happiness I ever had.I don't know what Marco wanted to prove or show by coming here but here's one thing for certain, someone's going to die tonight and I'll try my best to make sure it's Marco.I never knew I could feel such hatred about one particular person but here we are, waiting to point my gun at him. My hatred's so
Nat's POVI go back to Leo's room and take deep breaths.This really helps in stressful situations such as these.I just can't believe that Marco had the audacity to come here.Well, Marco technically lost his shame after Luca's death.Or he never had it.I am scared too because if Marco's spills the beans, I will be a goner.Leo will hate me and that's something I don't want to think about.Would Leo really hate me though?I mean, after everything we have been t
