"You know what they say about a person like you?" He hissed in my ear, his hot breath fanning my neck when he opened his mouth to speak. His grey eyes returned back to mine filled with wrath and displeasure as they bore into mine. "Curiosity killed the cat." He says in a whisper his voice laced with the threat lingering around me in the form of his addictive scent and my feets itched to get away from him for the sake of my life, but only if I could. *** Lorenzo Ace Russo, don of Italy is the perfect definition for ruthless, merciless, cruel and what they call a monster. He holds pride in taking the life of people to his convenience. His hands are stained with the blood of hundred of people and the number of sin he has committed in his life till now would put even hell to shame. Iris Grace Emerson never knew what she was getting herself into when she followed the scream of a man and found him getting murdered by the monster. Iris couldn't keep her mouth shut when the piercing scream of her classmate hit her ear one last time. And, Lorenzo couldn't risk leaving evidence behind when the FBI is so keen on getting him behind the bars. So, there was only one option, kill the cat.. Happy Reading.

Introduction

I quickly entered my room, shutting the door behind me as I pretended to be busy in reading the books, I randomly found in this room. I heard the door click open behind me but I didn't dared tk turn around to see the monster even when I heard the sound of door locking. Gathering all the courage in myself, I stood still not batting an eye to anything he was doing. My hands stumbled as I went to pick the book in my trembling hands and the book end up down on the floor. The sound of book hitting the floor cut through the silence in the room and my trembling hand clutched on the corner of the table for support. "Being a sneaky little cat now, are we?" His playful yet vicious voice hit my ear and I wanted to run by the danger I detected in his voice. Slowly, I turned around looking down at the floor refusing to look up into those gray orbs. He took a careful step in my direction and abruptly, I took one back. He stopped at his place as his eyes roamed up and down my scared figure, prof

Chapter 1

We all bleed differently. Some through wounds, and some through words. -Unknown. A few months ago...|I R I S|"Why is it so dark?" Tori, my friend asked looking above her at the sky darker than the coal."Because it's night?" I answered in a 'duh' and that earned me a roll of eyes from her. Tori is scared of dark, the only reason she is standing here is because I wanted to take a walk at night before we leave this place tomorrow morning. "You know there is very scary saying," Tori started, scared, looking around as if making sure no one else is hearing, before she continued, "Darkness is the biggest ally of monsters." She finished and safe to say she is shit scared right now. "Do one thing," I said and she looked at me with uncertainty as if I am going to ask her to find the monster for me. "Return to your room, I'll be back shortly." I told her and she somehow looked relieved for a minute before worry staked over her face. "Hell no! I

Chapter 2

Curious fingertips on dangerously soft skin. -Unknown. |I R I S|I ran faster than I ever did for my life, passing the large trees touching the sky I stopped when the hotel came in my view. Turning around, I looked for him but there was no sign of the monster running after my life. Still, not letting my guards down, I immediately rushed inside the hotel and locked my room once I was inside it. Resting my back against the door, I panted everything that happened just a few minutes ago, flashing in front of my eyes. His dangerous grey eyes holding the coldness of the world and those blue eyes begging one second to be saved and looking black at me with nothing in the the next second. My heart beat is racing like crazy, refusing to calm down and give me relief. I found myself struggling to breath as if someone's invisible fingers are wrapped around my throat squeezing the life out of me and I can't do anything about it. Helpless blue eye

Chapter 3

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. - Sigmund Freud.|I R I S|"Sup, little cat." I heard him whispering in my ear from behind. His voice laced with nothing but danger freezing me in my tracks.Chills ran down my spine when I realised how close I was standing to my end. I couldn't help but go rigid in my place. His face was so close to my back that I could hear him breathing right behind me. Tears threatened to fall down my cheeks but I controlled them. I can't cry. I won't. There are people. He can't do any harm. He can't kill me. He won't kill me. I chanted in my head to assure myself of my safety between these people who are talking shit about Ray who isn't here and is dead. They are all blaming him for making us all late but no one is thinking about the things that could have gone wrong with him. Terror slowly seeped inside my body just by the mere presence of the monster stan

Chapter 4

I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. - Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"Why not just kill her?" Mason, my right hand questioned as I made a drink for myself. His question was straight and logical but what he didn't knew was that my sister is coming to meet his brother today. And, I don't want to be covered in blood when my sister will see me. Taking a sip of the drink that burned my throat and inside as it drowned deeper. "Aleeza is coming." I answered his questions and he shut his mouth in understanding. "But what did she do?" Rowan asked, more like demanded. "She witnessed a murder." I told him and took another sip of my drink. Rowan kept staring at me for more explanation and I wanted to flip him off but decided otherwise. I don't want tk be in a sour mood when Aleeza arrives. "I committed." I added for him. "Done," Lucas said when he returned from locking the woman with big violet eyes. I've never seen eyes like hers

Chapter 5

They have promised that dreams can come true, but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too. -Oscar Wilde. |I R I S|The basement room where they locked me in is scary. The walls here are painted with the blood of people who died at the hands of this monster. The air around me is suffocating and it is hard to stay calm when you can hear the piercing scream of another person from a few rooms away. I wonder how he is getting treated and how old he is. I wonder what he did to be here.Hugging my knees to my chest, I pushed myself in one deep corner of the room. Right now taking every next breath feels like a bliss. Because I don't know when would I stop E breathing and it would all end here without me achieving all I wanted to in my life. Just because I thought I had enough time. The room isn't completely dark but the only source of light in this death trap is the ray of light that is reaching to me through the small window. And, I have suddenly grown paranoid of dark. "Are

Chapter 6

The devil does not come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for. - Tucker Max. |L O R E N Z O|Everyone enjoys different things, different genre, different music, I enjoy watching people bleed when their face show the terror I made them feel. It gives me power. It assures me that I am the one with power and not the other way. I have never craved anything in my life like I live for power. And, the screams of the man who tried to mess with me sounds like the most soothing music right now. Aleeza is sleeping in her room peacefully while I on the other hand am taking a walk in my basement to see the suffering of people I caused at midnight. My feets came to a halt when my eyes fell on the woman lying down on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest. I recognized her from the night when she witnessed me murdering a 21 year old boy. He was an asshole. A fucking asshole who was taking pleas

Chapter 7

And, all of a sudden she felt really tired. Like the world has drained her for everything that she had. -Unknown. |I R I S|The night passed quickly and surprisingly enough, I found myself covered with a blanket in the morning when I woke up. There was no one else that came to my mind other than Rowan who could have done that. Because, of course, the people here aren't saint who provides blanket and food to the people they have kidnapped. I am starting to think that maybe Rowan isn't as bad as thought of him to be. But it's only been one day and the image of their friend killing a boy of my class is imprinted in my mind which makes it hard to believe anyone associated with him. His heart didn't melted when the boy was begging him. He didn't even flinched when he shot him in the head and he didn't hesitated when he pointed the gun at me to kill me. "I can't believe him." I heard a feminine voice that echoed through the hall of the basement before it reached me. Is she another pr

Chapter 8

Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. -Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"What on Earth do you think you brought her here for?" I called from behind and all three of their heads turned towards me. Aleeza looked furious when met my eyes and Rowan looked like he would support her in everything right now. Lucas couldn't care less about the matter right now as he ignored everyone. My eyes stopped when they met her violet ones. Her eyes widened in terror and I noticed how she deliberately but quickly took steps back. I couldn't help the smirk that overtook my face when I realised the terror I fill people with just by my presence. "What on Earth was she in basement for?" Aleeza seethed and the way her eyes were shooting daggers in my direction and the way her jaw is clenched, I am pretty sure she is furious right now. "To die," I answered simply as I made my way towards them. "Shut up, Lorenzo." Aleeza warne

Chapter 9

Why do we cling to what we loose while we ignore what we still hold? -Steven Erikson. |I R I S|"Don't be scared. You're safe now." Rowan reassured and I was starting to believe at these two. "Yup." Aleeza said popping the 'p' as she settled the tray of snacks on the bed in front of me. I am really hungry. I have barely ate anything from last two days. Even the food Rowan brought me last night didn't do anything for my lost appetite. But now when I have some hope that I could be safe. Like, maybe, just maybe, I can live. I am suddenly starving. "This is your room." Aleeza informed me when I took one snack from the tray and put it in my mouth enjoying the crunchy taste on my tongue. I closed mt eyes and devoured the taste of the delicious food. "Thank you." I thanked her with a genuine smile on my lips. I don't remember the last time I smiled with all those chaos going on in my life. Aleeza returned my smile and I turned my head to Rowan, "Th
