It was a very cold night and to make matters worse it was raining, one had to be very careful when they walk because of how slippery it was, but that didn't stop Ally she as fast as her legs could carry her. She looked back panting as she and saw that her uncle was chasing and yelling at her.

"Come back here you bitch," she heard her uncle yell. She would be dumb to stop and answer him so she ran out bare footed with twigs that had fallen from the trees around piercing her feet, her nightgown which was soaked got caught in a branch so she had to rip it off so she could keep running, she took a couple of turns so that she would lose him. A few minutes later she leaned against a wall to catch her breath since she could not hear him yelling again. She closed her closed her eyes breathing heavily and tried to calm down, after a couple of deep breath she started walking since she didn't want to waste her energy running again.

She had walked for about 5 minutes when she heard the waves crashing. She walked closer to it with her feet digging in to the sand as the rain soaked it. Lighting struck so loud she winced, it was as if it was a warning. She eventually left the ocean bank and as she walked away from it She saw a building come to view, well the mansion because as she got closer she realized this could not just be an abandoned building because of the lights coming from the windows. She wondered if she could get help but decided against it. She was so tired that before she knew here legs gave out under her and she fell to the ground.

Meanwhile at the Francesco mansion, Marco was livid because he found out his partner in crime, Giovanni had been working with the Russian mafia underboss, leaking information and was going to kill him. One of his men came to him that they had caught him when he was about to flee the country and they had tied him up in the chair at the usual spot. (The spot was were they kept traitors who were going to die, which was close to the ocean bank where no one will hear when he shot them, not that he cared)

He smiled coldly as he walked down the hall , then down the stairs with some of his men following him he opened the door to go outside, while the one outside flipped the umbrella open and lifted over his head as they walked. When he got there he stood in front of Giovanni who was gagged. He tried to talk but the cloth muffled his speech. He could see the fear in Giovanni eyes when he looked up at him. They both knew death was knocking at his door and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Carlos," he called out.

"Would you like to do the honours?" He asked because Carlos was he's right-handed man.

" Ti avrei voluto bene, ma puoi avere il piacere di farlo da solo" Carlos said.

Ally tried to stand up because the noise around was slowly driving her nuts. It took her less than a minute to to get up surprisingly. She was tired, hungry, scared and obviously needed rest so she turned to her right and decided she was going to ask for help because how was she going survive, as she walked up to the house she saw some figures not too far from her and a man tied to a chair looking asleep because of how his head fell to the side but she saw the shape of the gun held up by him, her breath caught, different things were running through her mind but she knew she had to run. She was about to turn so that she could go the other way but Carlos had turned because of he had felt someone staring and saw her causing her to freeze, she couldn't see his face clearly but she turned quickly and ran then she heard.

"Stop her" someone yelled. she heard them coming after her but she kept running till someone yanked her back and she came face to face with a man who looked like he wanted to kill her.

"Now where do you think you are going ?" he yanked her causing her to fall on her knees.

She couldn't say anything she was so scared, that she didn't know when she passed out.

They all look at each other till Marco came forward. First thing that came to his mind was how beautiful she was. but his faced still remained passive, the last thing he wanted was for them to see how he was affected. She was so small that he wanted to carry her and wash all her problems away, where these unwanted feelings came from he didn't know and he didn't care he just wanted them gone.

"Bring her in, " he said and walked away .
