Chapter Three.

Isabella.

I shuddered at the cool connectedness of the person's voice, and I looked from the corner of my eyes to see a figure looming in the shadows.

"Who the hell is this punk?"

Bulky number one said but the edge could be heard in his voice, wait! He was scared?

I almost laughed at the possibility, but I must say the shadow guy's voice did give me the chills.

Shadow guy walked towards us slowly.

I could feel the strong and intimidating aura coming from him. who's this guy? Was he part of the Mafia?

My heart quickened at the slight possibility of him being one of my father's men, but on the contrary None of his Men had this enigmatic personality.

"I won't repeat myself again, leave. The. Lady. Alone."

He said in a low and dangerous tone that terrified the living fuck out of me, I looked up to see bulky number one and bulky number two slowly withdrawing their hands away from me.

You'd think they'd run with their tails in between their legs with how scared they looked, but they decided to go against the shadow guy.

"Who the Fuck do you think you're?"

"Stay away from this if you love your life."

Are these men serious? On second thought the odds are against the shadow guy, it's two against one.

I turned to look at him and even though I couldn't see his face, damn his physique was hot as hell!

" They'd hurt you, I'll be fine just go."

I said silently, hoping he would take my advice and just get the hell out of here but he ignored me like I didn't just try to save his life.

Seriously? Well... Let it be known that Isabella did her best for humanity.

" You really are in the mood to die huh?"

Bulky number two spat out even though he was literally shaking in his boots, well I'd be scared too if I were him.

"Tsk tsk, I love overconfident people."

Shadow said in a dangerously low tone.

" Let's make this quick, I have other things to attend to. "

Bulky number one and bulky number two rushed towards shadow, but shadow moved effortlessly as if they were nothing but ants.

My eyes moved with him in fascination.

The bulky number one was able to remove the mask of his face before he fell flat on the hard ground.

As he turned to look at me.

I got a full view of his face, and to say I was starstruck is complete understatement, I stood unmoving in my spot.

I've never seen a man this fine in my entire life, even in darkness he looked beautiful.

However the gnawing pain in my chest prevented me from properly admiring him, he walked slowly and gracefully towards me, his gaze unwavering and cold it made me almost lose balance.

"Didn't your Papa teach you that little girls are not supposed to wander around?"

What?! Little girl? I scoffed in disbelief, he might have saved me from some creepy ass Men but really? Little girl?

I looked up at him, ready to retort back at his ridicule but the words couldn't just come out the way I had formed them in my mind.

I just stood there like some soulless doll, and with the way his brows were creased together, and I am sure he must think that I am some dumb little girl, who can't seem to utter words of response.

"What cat got your tongue?"

He looked down at me with those hooded eyes that made my legs weak, wait! Made my legs weak? Where the Fuck did that come from?

Now I am sure I really look like some dumb creepy weirdo.

Before I could even utter a proper thank you to him, he walked past me with a bored look.

"Wait... Wait.. Thank you for helping me." I called out to him, he didn't even turn back to acknowledge my apology.

Well not like I want him to, I mean I wouldn't even acknowledge my own apology.

I sighed as his physique got lost in the shadows.

I guess I am back to my depressed state.

I smiled at the thought of how those bulky men and the interference of shadow guys made me Forget my pain for a fleeting moment.

I swallowed hard as the memories came rushing in my head like an overflowing dam, why did I have to be born as a Mafia princess?

I scoffed at the word princess.

I am more of a Mafia slave, with no will of my own and what's even worse is the fact that I have stayed in the same damn house as the man who killed my mother.

My life's a fucking joke!

I took one last look at the path where the shadow guy went through before looking down at my watch, my eyes almost came out their sockets at the time. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

This is not fucking good, Luca's gonna kill me and what's even worse if my father finds out that I am not in the prison if a house.

I'll have hell to pay.

I ran out of the alley at the speed of light.

As I prepared myself to jump the fence that leads directly to the oath home.

I was greeted by the screeching sound of cars.

My heart is beating so fast and I could feel it In my head, before I could even say jack I am bundled up inside the car.

"Hey! Where the Fuck do you think you're taking me?"

These Men look oddly familiar.

they don't even give heed to my screams, they just tuck me in the car like some helpless toddler.

Then it struck me, these are my father's Men!

Shit! I am so dead, I hope Luca's okay.

I wouldn't want him getting punished for my disobedience, ahhh! This is all those stupid buly men's fault.

I swallowed hard as I thought about what awaited me at home.

I looked outside the car window to prevent the tears that gathered at the corner of my eyes from falling.

We got to the mansion, before the guards could come to open the door for me and I got down.

I didn't spare them a glance as I walked inside the house with my heart beating rapidly against my chest.

"Get me Fucking Luca!"

My breath stilled as I heard my father yelling at someone, shit! I can't let him hurt Luca.

I ran inside the house, to find him pacing about the living room and I am immediately reminded of why I sneaked out in the first place.

I shook those memories to the back of my mind, this is not the time for melancholy.

I have to act normal.

*Salve padre*(hello Father)

He turned to look at me and boy did his eyes portray so much anger.

"Where the Fuck did you go?"

I gulped as I tried to think of a good and believable lie in my head.

" Answer the Fucking Question Bella!"

I flinched at his tone, I quickly looked down suddenly finding my shoes interesting.

" I went out for a walk."

Papa looked like he could burst from anger, and I don't know what the Fuck is wrong with me, but the thought of him bursting because of anger seems so funny.

"You went out for a walk?"

"You fucking went out for walk!"

"You're not allowed to step out of this fucking house, you dare disobey me?"

" You're going to be punished and that bastard Luca would also be punished."

My pulse picked its Pace at the sound of Luca getting punished or possibly killed because he helped me.

" No! Luca wasn't aware that I sneaked out, I tricked him."

"I was tired of staying in this prison so I decided to take fresh air. "

Papa walked towards me with furious steps, and I could see him clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.

" You'll not step out of this house ever again,and you won't even go to that stupid shelter.”

“ you won't fucking go anywhere!”

I don't know what got into me but I just couldn't take it anymore I snapped at my father, which by the way was a suicide mission on my part.

"just fucking stop! Stop locking me up like some fucking criminal."

" I am your Daughter for fuck sake." I said with tears already flowing down my face.

My father looked shocked, the shock didn't stay long in his face until his eyes burned in fury.

The next thing I feel is his hands on my face, my eyes burned in anger. He fucking slapped me!

" You'll not talk to me like that! Take this little bitch outta here, lock her up in her room."

" Take that stupid dog away from her and lock him up too, nobody should give her any food!"

" You'll learn not to ever disobey the orders of your don."

I looked him Square in the eyes.

I don't even try to hide my hatred for him.

" That's what you'll always be to me, a Don and not a Father."

I saw his expression flick to pain, but it left like it was never there.

Anyways I didn't care, at this moment I've made up my mind that I'll do everything in my power to bring him down.
