Chapter 5

Alice's Point Of View.

"Do you really want to die now?" he yelled at me angrily and I felt a great fear.

He stopped in front of me while still giving me a death glare. "Don't you really know how to obey my rule?! I only have one goddamn rule for peste's sake! Don't fucking disobey me!" he continues to shout giving me shivers.

Despite the fear I felt, I still managed to speak. "I will not disobey you if you don't lock me in my room like a prisoner, moron. You have no right to do that," I boldly said even though inside I was very scared. But I want to know why he locks me in my room because I don't understand what he wants to happen! Why does he have to lock me up like an animal in my room? What is that for?!

I quickly saw his eyes darken because of what I said and that added to the fear I was feeling. And I quickly regretted what I said when he pointed a gun at me.

I can see the anger in his eyes.

"You are really good at pretending," Valerian smirked. "Have you forgotten what you and your family did to my girlfriend?" he added causing my forehead to furrow.

What the fuck is he talking about? I couldn't speak because his gun was still pointed at me and I could see the blood on his hands.

"Do you think I'll just forget that you and your family killed Vera?!" His voice was like the sound of thunder. I even backed away because of so much fear.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" I answered. We killed his girlfriend? How can we do that, first of all we don't know his girlfriend! And one more thing, we can't kill people!

"Drop the act already, show me your true self! Show me how cruel the daughter of Mafia Boss is!" he shouted angrily and I felt the tears falling from my eyes because of fear. I quickly wiped it from my eyes because the night that I was kidnapped when I was a child came back to my mind. Valerian didn't pay attention to my tears and quickly pulled the trigger of the gun. I screamed as I thought I was hit by his gun but it turned out he hit the floor.

"I'll fucking make you suffer just like what you did to her," he said angrily before quickly leaving in front of me. When he left, I thanked God because I thought I was going to die. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes with my hand before quickly running to my room and locking the door.

I went straight to my bed and cried silently because of the fear I felt. Valerian's words triggered me, I kept remembering the thing I experienced in that abandoned house with the men who kidnapped me. I don't know what he's talking about, is he referring to Dad as the mafia boss? How could Dad be a mafia boss?

My head hurts every time I think about what he said.

A few days passed and I didn't bother to leave this room anymore. It's better that I don't see Valerian because he reminds me of the people who kidnapped me. In the past few days I just occupied myself with reading books. One night, in the middle of my reading a book I heard a loud knock on my door causing me to drop the book I was holding. Because I know it's not the maid who brings me food who knocks.

"Open this damn door or else I will destroy it up with a bomb!" Valerian yelled angrily from outside my room.

I felt my hand shaking with fear as I slowly stood up from my panting. I went to my bedroom door and quickly opened it.

I saw Valerian's serious face. "I'm going somewhere tomorrow and I'm taking you with me, and wear something casual," he said in a cold tone and left, so I quickly closed the door and locked it.

I followed what he said so the next day I wore a bodycon long black dress and my arms were covered. Dark colors suit me because I'm white, so almost everything I wear is dark colors. I also put on light make up to match my outfit. When the maid knocked because Valerian was calling me downstairs, I followed quickly, I couldn't help but feel scared because I didn't know where we were going and especially because I was with the man who could kill me anytime he wanted.

I saw him in the living room wearing a black tuxedo, when he looked at me I quickly looked away because of fear. When we were inside his car, I sat in the back seat, he started driving and I heard him speak.

"Are you wearing your ring?" he asked.

"Y-yeah," I answered while looking at the window. I'm afraid that he might suddenly kill me later.

"Don't do anything stupid later or I'll kill you," he added and I didn't say anything until we reached a private restaurant.

"Reservation, Sir?" the waiter asked when we entered.

"Valerian Fernsby," he answered next to me and the waiter looked at me.

"What's her name, Sir?" 

"Alice Fernsby," Valerian said in a baritone and the waiter nodded before leading us into a private room. I quickly saw an old man who had a beard on his face and wearing a gray suit.

"Long time no see, Val! It's good that you thought of coming back here to England," the old man greeted him while smiling.

"It's good to see you again, Sir Emmanuel," Valerian answered and hugged the old man. When he let go, the one he called Sir Emmauel quickly looked at me.

"You're Valerian's wife? What's your name dear?" he smiled at me and I felt Valerian's cold gaze causing me to feel nervous.

"I'm A-alice Hermione Fernsby, Sir," I murmured and held out my hand which the old man quickly accepted.

"You're so gorgeous, Valerian's so lucky to have you," he said smiling and I forced a smile.

We sat down to start eating, Valerian was next to me while sir Emmanuel was in front of us and they were the only ones talking about business. While I was eating quietly, when I felt like going to the restroom, I quickly excused myself from them.

I noticed Valerian's look as if he didn't want to let me go but I just ignored him and quickly left the private room. When I got out, I was about to approach a waiter to ask where the restroom was but from the clear window of the restaurant a police car not far away caught my attention.

I felt hopeful and an idea quickly came to my mind so I walked out of the restaurant and quickly ran to get to the police. I need to tell them about Valerian! I need to tell them that he's a Mafia Boss!

But in the middle of my run, someone quickly grabbed my arm and covered my mouth and quickly took me to the back of the restaurant.

"What the fuck are you trying to do?" Valerian said angrily and our eyes quickly met.
