_Micini's POV_I had gone to Natalie's room immediately after that, Luca not letting me go see Saint like I wanted to. He kissed my forehead before I went into the room, but for some reason, I didn't get butterflies like I should have. It felt different from when Saint touched my skin and I didn't like it. I pushed open the door slowly, worried that Natalia would be awake but luckily for me her legs were sprawled out on the bed as she snored lightly. I smiled a little at the sight, her comfort never failing to amuse me. I immediately walked to the bed, pushing her legs aside and lying down next to her. The warmth of the blankets wrapped around me and I tried my best to sleep but I was unable to. My thoughts ran at a thousand miles per hour and I struggled to stop them. Luca's kiss on my forehead lingered in my mind. He said we were dating before I lost my memories, then I must have had some kind of feeling for him. Then why didn’t I feel the same as when Saint had missed me.
I felt Natalie's eyes on me, and I tried to ignore it, but it was difficult to. Eating was difficult with her eyes pinning me down, threatening to suffocate me. "Micini, don't you think you have some explaining to do?" Natalie asked and I finally raised my head to look at her. Her eyes held fury as they flickered between Luca and me. She looked like I had wronged her so much and I struggled to find out how.I had simply started dating Luca even though I had no feelings for him, I didn't do anything wrong."Don't question her, Natal-" Luca started, but Natalie was quick to cut him off. "Oh. Stay away from this. You have zero rights to put your unneeded opinion in my business," She hissed, glaring at him. "Your business but yet you're questioning my girlfriend about our relationship," Luca fired back, maintaining eye contact with her.They both looked like they were about to have each other's throats any moment from now.I looked between them both, unsure of what to do. Natalie s
I leaned against the wall, my chest still heaving from what happened with Saint.What was he trying to gain by doing that?Wasn't it bad enough that I was already conflicted?He just had to come and make me feel things I didn't want to feel.And the look he had given me, 'You belong to me.' But I was with Luca now, why doesn't he understand that?!'But Lucas doesn't make your heart race just like he does.' That tiny voice in my head said and I knew it was right.But still, what had I done? Luca is the one I'm dating, not Saint.I shouldn’t have let him touch me. Worse, I shouldn’t have wanted it. Yet, I had stood here silently, still wanting more.A lump formed in my throat as I slid down the wall, resting my head against my knees.I didn't go through all these problems while I was with Daniel.I don't recall what he had done to me these past two years that I had forgotten, but I'm certainly giving relationship advice to the boy I liked wasn't going to be one.Heck, if Daniel found o
I swallowed hard, my pulse racing as both brothers stared at me, waiting for an answer.They had just put me on the spot and I was forced to face my emotions.Two pairs of eyes pinned me to the spot, both the same color but they held different emotions.My mind was scrambling, searching for something, anything that would clear the tension between them.Wait, what was I stressing myself over?.. I could just say the truth, what was the point in lying? It was Luca’s room after allLuca is my boyfriend. I was standing in front of Luca's door. I had come here to see Luca.Isn't that what I should say since it was the truth? So why was I hesitating?Was it because of Saint?“I came for Luca,” I said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. “This is his room, isn't it? I didn’t know you’d be here, Saint.”Saint’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening as my words hit him.He was expecting me to pick him...He wanted me to say that I was here for him, but why was that?I didn't know he would be
I walked down the hallway, my mind filled with confusion and guilt. I had left Luca's room in a rush after kissing him, I couldn't stand seeing the look on his face when I broke off our kiss. To me, it felt as if I was deceiving him, and maybe I was. I had kissed him less than thirty minutes after his brother touched me and I felt dirty. The kiss with Luca still lingered on my Lips but it didn't feel right. Not in the way it should have. Not in the way it felt with Saint.And for some reason, my thoughts kept spiraling back to Saint; I couldn't forget the way he looked at me when I was with his brother.Like I had betrayed him.Why does he have this effect on me? I chose Luca... didn't I?And besides, Saint had Ciara so it really shouldn't matter much. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.At that moment I just needed to escape and clear my head to figure out what the hell I was doing.Before I realized it, the mansion's familiar corridors gave way to unfamiliar doors
Staggering, I lean against the wall next to me, my heart beating violently in my chest as I struggled to catch my breath.I can't stop here, Daniel can not catch me here. No matter what happens I have to escape from him tonight.I glance behind me as their voices gets louder. Breathing heavily, I start running once more, running into an alley.My feet throbbed in pain with each step I took further, threatening to give up on me any minute from now. But I don't stop, I can't afford the luxury of stopping to rest my feet right now. I had to make sure I escape from that man this night or else he would kill me. "There she is. Get her!" I hear one of them yell close to me, and I gasp, the panic within me intensifies.They are close by, I need to keep moving.Ignoring the pain I felt in my feet, I quicken my pace, turning a corner and hoping to loose them along the way.My leg wobbles as I run further and before I know it, I'm loosing balance about to make contact with the floor.Not now.
My grip on his trousers tightens, his expression stoic as he stares down at me and I have no idea what he must be thinking."I beg you, save me from that man." I cry placing my head on his legs."Little red.. Come out, come out wherever you are. Come out dang it!" He roars from somewhere behind us and I gasp, crawling forward trying to put as much distance between us.He turns around and stares at me as I move backwards in fear, my back making contact with a wall and preventing me from going further."If he finds me, he would surely kill me this time. I can't let him find me. Please help me!" I let the tears flow freely from my face. Why wouldn't he help me? Why was he just staring at me?He cocks his head, staring at me before he walks off with his men behind me.When he gets out of sight, my sobs gets louder and I cry my heart out.He'd kill me when he finds me, I should just come to terms with it. I couldn't escape him, I can't escape from him.Pulling my knees to my chest, I place
The sound of birds chirping combined with the rays of the sun, which came in through the window, falling on my face woke me up.Groaning, I flip my body to the other side of the bed to avoid the sun rays touching me.Hold on. Sunrays? Birds chirping? My room doesn't have any window to let the sunrays in.I felt confused as I thought about this, trying to remember all that happened last night.I ran away from Daniel's house, then I ran into an alley where Daniel caught me once again.Memories of last night floods my head and I am filled with a new sense of terror.Gasping, I shoot up from the bed, looking around to figure out where I was. Daniel caught me! He'd surely punish me now.. He would…"Glad to see you're awake." A deep voice that clearly did not belong to Daniel said and my eyes shoots to the corner of the room where a man sat, his face not visible."W..wh.. who are you?" I stammered out of fear, pushing back to the head of the bed. Where was I? This is clearly not my room. D
