TRUE COLOURS

“Why the hell do you have my sister tied up Silvio!” I yelled running to her, he instantly pulled me back and held me down. “Let me go! You are hurting her!”

“stop moving! You heard the doctor!” he yelled back, the sound of the chopper blades dominated everywhere making it hard to converse.

I looked at Serena who had tears pouring down her face, she looked at me with fear in her eyes, I know I hated her but it hurt me to see her tied up like a goat being prepared for sacrifice.

“Silvio please untie her, she doesn't deserve this” I pleaded, he was quiet, he looked at his second in command Marcus who still had the gun to her head.

“I need to question her, she knows more than she’s letting on,” Silvio said, nodding at Marcus, Marcus put his gun away.

“Silvio you are hurting her please free her hands, take that shit out of her mouth” I yelled.

“Stop yelling! You are stressing the hell out of yourself!” he yelled back, holding me back as I tried to run to my sister again.

“I will keep yelling until you fucking untie her! Questions or not Silvio!” I yelled again.

He shook his head and this time he let me run to my sister.

I immediately took the gag out of her mouth.

 “Are you okay Serena?” I asked, just as I had asked she replied to me with spit in my face, Marcus raised the gun back to her face but I shook my head at him, I wanted to untie her but I felt maybe it was better I left that.

“I'm just trying to help you” I replied, wiping the spit out of my face.

“Untie me you fucking bitch!” she screamed at me as she lunged at me, I leaned back away from her.

 “That's enough!” Silvio thundered, his eyes filled with instant rage, I saw Serena whimper again as she receded into her corner, she looked at me, the anger in her eyes.

“Stop making it worse for yourself Serena” I mentioned, I turned to Silvio who was gesturing for me to come back to his side.

 “How did they find us? I thought you said it was safe. I told you Malta was a bad idea!” I retorted,

“Ask your sister, it seems she ran into bad people when she left the mansion” Silvio accused.

 “I didn't do shit and you know this! I just wanted to get the fuck away from you both!” she replied her tone a mixture of anger and defence.

I looked at her, she looked sincere with the way her eyes softened in the sadness it bore.

“She didn't do it” I agreed, she looked at me shocked,

 “I don't need you to defend me Ariana” she said as she struggled with her tied hands.

“How did they find us so fast, Serena?” Silvio inquired “And how exactly did you and Vincent know that I was on the island, who sent you? Your father? Mateo?” he asked again, Serena laughed hysterically.

“Are you fucking insane My father I fucking hate that bastard, Mateo? Is this a joke? You are screwing his fucking wife! Why don't you ask her!” she retorted as she spat again close to my feet.

 I started to feel annoyed but I remained quiet, she was right, here I was in the arms of another man when my husband was chasing me around the world to find me.

My mind went back to Mateo, being away from him had been refreshing, though I've had my fair share of shitshow these past few days, but Silvio has been kinder to me.

Mateo just wants his property back.

“I don't want to go back to him,” I said under my breath, Silvio pulled me close and held me tight.

“I'm not going to let him” he promised, he stroked my head and leaned into him.

“Oh dear sister, it seems your time in Malta has fucked with your head, you have no idea the kind of shit you have just put yourself in.

Mateo is a beast, a beast you will soon get to know, you think he is that asshole big brother we knew” she laughed again hysterically, her words frightened me.

 I glanced at Silvio, the look on his face had me worried, he was quiet and didn't counter her words, which got me more scared.

“What the hell do you know Serena? Try being married to a psychopath!” I yelled back.

 “oh please cry me a river, how long have you been married to him and you have flung yourself in his enemy’s arms, by the time he is done with you, you will beg him for death!” Serena laughed again, Marcus was visibly angry, he reached out and slapped the taste out of her mouth and blood spilt from her lips to the floor.

“Don't hurt her!” I yelled, Marcus looked at me, and to his boss who was still quiet and visibly angry, he cocked his gun and pointed it at her head.

“Boss?” he called out looking at Silvio, in his moment of distraction, Serena grabbed his gun and kicked him, something I never knew she could do, she lunged at me and grabbed me, she pointed the gun to my head.

“Open the door!” she yelled, the gun planted on my temple sent shivers down my spine, 

“Serena, what the hell are you doing?” I asked shaking fervently.

“Shut the fuck up you stupid bitch!” she yelled, she focused on Silvio who had pulled out his gun.

“Fuck around and find out just how much I love my fucking sister! Open the door!” she screamed at him.

“We are in the middle of the fucking ocean!” he replied.

“I'd rather drown than spend one goddamn minute with you!” she retorted, I felt her body shake.

“Fine by me,” Silvio said, he gestured to Marcus to open the chopper doors.

“Serena don't do this” I pleaded as she moved us to the edge of the door.

In a split second, she jumped but not before she whispered terrifying words in my ears that shook every fibre of my being.

“I saw him put something in your drink, be careful Ariana”
