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
Natalie stares at me in horror with her hands covering her lips in shock.Why was she staring at me that wa… Oh.I finally realized I was standing before her, naked and vulnerable at the moment, my scars completely visible to her.I stare at her silently, waiting for what she would do, i waited to see that look of disgust on her face, just like everyone else that saw my body.I am shocked when she breaks out in a sob, and I stare at her confused on what to do.With tears in her eyes, she walks to me wrapping her arms around me and pushing my face into her chest.My heart rate increases because of the physical contact between us, my body itching to get her off me."I'm not going to ask you what happened, I'm not going to make you tell me what happened. I'm going to wait for you to feel safe around me and tell me what happened." She says still holding me tightly.Even if she had asked now, I don't want to tell her."You do realize your holding a naked female right?" I ask her still stan
After he left I found out he was Natalie's older brother Santino, but everyone calls him Saint. He was obviously not a Saint like his name suggested. He has killed more people than I could count and he has ruined the lives of many more. He was the devil himself.Well, that's what Natalie said, not that I cared about that, I need to stay as far away from him as i possibly could, until i run away from here. But where do I go after I run?"Hellooo, earth to Minny?" Natalia snapped her fingers at in my face, snapping me out of my reverie."Come on, start eating." She urged me, taking a bite from her food which was placed before her.I drop my gaze down to the plates staring back at me, glancing at her once more before I push the plate away. She looks at me, her brows raised in confusion."I'm not hungry." I murmur, an obvious lie. But it's not like she would figure out I'm lying….My stomach grumbles loudly at that exact moment making my face red in embarrassment.I look away from the tab
