SPAIN
Camila's POV I tilted the small window to my direction looking at the reflection of my lips as I applied more red lipstick making sure not to smear any on the sides, after I was done I looked at the masterpiece of my handy work satisfied I rolled the lipstick back and tossed it on the seat next to me, I took off the hair scrunchie on my wrist and used it to tie my hair into a messy bun" I lifted my hands to the steering wheel and ran them around it feeling it soft yet hard texture With my stiletto heels I pressed the car accelerator of my Lamborghini hard causing the engine to roar to life and the exhaust pipes to release smoke" I smiled with satisfaction looking outside as the crowd went crazy some going as far as to hug the car I winked at Alex the guy who is incharge of the bets as he gave me a thumbs up before the people surrounded him placing bets like crazy some worth ten million like it meant nothing I watched as girls in high heels and short dresses swayed their bodies to the music with guys dancing besides them, it was a wild and crazy night and everybody was either drinking or smoking As for me that wasn't my cup of tea I preferred a different way to enjoy myself like" street racing, it was my drug, my addiction my obsession my everything and I loved every second of it" it made me feel free I rolled down the window on my left and winked at Nico my opponent who dared to challenge me even though he knows I never lose a race" Oh it's on De Luca" he said looking at me with a smirk My smile dropped for a second upon hearing him call me that, but I managed to revive it , without saying a word I looked at him ready to crush him as I remembered our deal Unlike any other nights this wasn't a normal street race instead of placing our bets with money like we usually did both of us had decided to make it more interesting by that I mean betting with our cars, the deal was if he loses he gives me his red Ferrari and if I lose I give him my green Lamborghini which technically isn't mine, let's say I borrowed it, okay fine I stole it but the owner deserved it and I wouldn't mind losing it" it's just my pride that I cannot afford to lose Ready!! shouted the blonde in a black mini skirt and white top swaying her slender body as she stood in the middle front of our cars holding black and white racing flags on her hands l took a deep breath my heart beating higher than before as I placed my hand on the steering wheel, I focused my eyes looking at the front waiting for her to raise the flags Ready, set, go!! she screamed raising the flags into the air, I pressed the clutch hard making the car roar to life as it took off, leaving nothing but smoke Damnit" I cursed frustrated as Nico intentionally drove in the middle of the road like a miniac to block my way so I wouldn't overtake him" I drove to the side trying my best to overtake him but it was no use as he wouldn't let me With determination I saw a small opening at the turning point, I slammed the brakes hard causing causing dust as the car spun around before I took control again,I smiled adrenaline running through my body as I used the distraction I had created to overtake him at the turning point putting myself on the front Without wasting anytime I changed the gear driving on full speed, I could hear the crowd cheering as we raced back to the finish line Nico was tailing me behind but not far, with a smile on my face I focused on wining as I could taste victory My smile dropped as I spotted a familiar face in the crowd" standing on the front side wearing a black suit and tinted bl6 sunglasses was Colin my personal bodyguard" yesterday he had pissed me off and to get back at him I stole his car, I smiled an evil plan brewing on my mind And just as I reached the finish line I intentionally pressed the brakes causing the car to stop before it could pass it" I smiled as I turned my head to my right window as Nico's car sped pass me crossing the finish line first, meaning he had wone" I smiled whickedly as the crowd went crazy over my stunt On my left I saw an angry Colin curse" I opened the car door stepping out in my short black dress and red stilettos, I reached behind my head and removed the scrunchie letting my hair fall flawlessly on my lower waist As promised" I said tossing the car keys to Nico who caught them excitedly" see you around De Luca he said as he got inside the car before driving off, I assumed he had given his friend take the Ferrari home for himI walked towards a fuming Colin with a mischievous grin" You did that on purpose he said looking at me pissed You shouldn't have betrayed me yesterday I said my hands crossed as I remembered how he had snitched on me yesterday by calling that bustard Riccardo and telling him that I had ran away again when the true was I had decided to get some fresh air alone without him breathing on my neck" it was creepy as hell and not to mention that instead of acting like a fuckin bodyguard he was acting like a fuckin stalkerBesides it wasn't as if I could escape even if I wanted to, I have tried thirsty two times before and each time failing miserably, it was embarrassing, I mean how can I when Riccardo has bodyguards watching me 24/7 I felt angry as I saw four black Range Rovers parked behind us not far from where we stood three of them with four bodyguards inside keeping an eye on me just like Riccardo has instructed them to" In everyone's eyes it might seem normal because I come from wealt
Camila's POV As I sat at the backseat of the car my attention was on my phone not because I was waiting for an important call or message it was because I didn't want to look at that disgusting Colin, I knew he had his eyes on me even though he sat at the front driving, it was obvious and creepy as hell as his eyes kept on taking glances of my reflection on the small window You missed the turn" I said without taking my eyes off my phone, I was a very observant person just because I was busy with my phone it didn't mean I wasn't aware of my surroundings, if being kidnapped and living with your enemies has taught me one thing is that always be alert especially when you know that your captor is a psychopath and his son is a demon I know we are not going to the mansion he said casually his attention still on the road Where are we going then I asked indifferently placing my phone aside We are going to Italy, Riccardo wants you there by morning he said his words leaving me stri
Camila's POVAs I descended the jet's stairs I felt the cold breeze rustle through my hair, it was sunny but the sky instantly turned cloudy, I could feel a storm brewing, I looked up as a drop of rain fell on my forehead,This was all the warning I needed, I had gotten the message it was loud and clear, the heavens were trying to tell me that my life was about to take a shitty turn downhillI followed Colin to the four Royce Rolls cars waiting for us, he opened the back door for me and I got insideI restlessly looked outside trying to distract myself from the unsettling reality I was about to face, the destination to the mansion felt short, the car came to a stop in front of the gate and I felt my heart pound hardI unknowingly held my breath as the huge golden gates of the mansion remotely parted open revealing the lush driveway beyond, sitting inside the car I was greated by the breath taking scenery outside, a large healthy lawn and beautifully pruned treesThe car came to a stop
