Chapter 8 Unpleasant News

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 stricken, I felt a cold bucket of water being poured on me mentally, never had I expected this day to come so soon, it's been five years already since that psychopath Riccardo decided to move me to Spain For no particular reason

I looked at my trembling hands trying my best to mask my fear as I failed to understand what kind of games that psycho was up to this time around

What about my luggage" I managed to ask my voice coming out as forced

I've already taken care of it he said parking the car, it was dark, 10:32 pm but I could tell we had already reached Riccardo's private airport

I felt my stomach churn at the thought of what's about to come as the bodyguard opened the door for me outside, Violet if you would please we don't have all day I heard Colin say motioning me with his hand to get out of the car as he was already outside

I felt like punching him in the stomach but held back, with heavy feet I forced myself to get out , I followed in the middle as all of my twelve bodyguards led me to the private jet surrounding me in all sides as if I were an someone important, not that it was necessary

[ Panic Attack ]

I sighted heavily before boarding the jet, the beautiful flight attendant greated us with a smile as we came inside I nodded in return as I had nothing else to say

Miss De Luca this way please" she said sweetly leading me to the cabin where I'll be seating which to my dismay I'll be sharing with Colin as he's my private bodyguard and even if I wanted to I couldn't get rid of him, he was stuck to me like glue meaning I wasn't allowed to be in a distance that was more than five feet from him, let me know if you need anything she said and I nodded my head before dismissing her

Without another word I sat down opposite to Colin and buckled my seat belt, I closed my eyes trying to sleep even though I could feel his creepy eyes roaming on my body, I tried not to let it bother me as I knew he wouldn't dare try anything after that tight slap I gave him

I turned and tossed unable to sleep before calling the flight attendant, where is my luggage" I asked

You can tell me what you want and I'll get it for you she said her smile wavering" No need I want my bags" I said firmly

Violet just tell her what you want and she'll get it for you said Colin intervening between the conversation" I want my bags Colin" I said looking at him with suspicion

You'll get them when we land in Italy" he said dismissing the flight attendant with his hand

There are no bags aren't they I asked anger building up inside me" you left all of my things behind I shouted angry as panic invaded my body

My hands started to tremble and I felt my breathing becoming shallow, I struggled to breathe panting heavily, my medication I need it murmured under my breath but I think he didn't hear me as my voice was too small

Violet are you okay" he asked rushing towards me and touching my hand, and I instinctively slapped it away still panicking

What's wrong with you I'm trying to help you" he said pissed but I ignored him

I don't need your help I can take care of myself, I'm going to take a shower I said coldly before leaving the cabin

With a rapid heart beat accompanied by chest pains, discomfort, sweat and dizziness I managed to close the door behind me with little strength left and struggled to take my clothes off, I threw them on the ground and stumbled inside the shower I sat down and curled my body into a small frame with trembling hands I turned the water on and sat under the shower, I felt little relieve wash over me as the coldness of the water wet my body,

Colin was a bustard how can he not pack my stuff because of him I don't have my anti- anxiety medications which I cannot survive without, I take them everyday especially for situations like this, I cannot sleep without them even after all of this years I still have nightmares, but no one knows about it it's a secret, I don't want them to use it against me" it's a sign of weakness which I cannot afford to have especially now that I know that I'm ready to tackle the monsters of my past and take my revenge for everything I have lost

Breath Camila" don't be scared you're not a little girl anymore he cannot do anything to hurt you" I repeated to myself wiping my tears with determination as I looked at my blurry reflection on the transparent glass

I sat in silent, agony and torment trying to push away the salty tears of anger mixed with cold water as I looked at my reflection on the glass

I felt my heart sink into a bottomless ocean as painful memories of how I had lost everything I had ever loved in a single day replayed on my mind

I remembered how I had also suffered after being kidnapped and being unable to tell anyone about it because Riccardo had forced me to lie

Life in Italy with Riccardo's family wasn't easy they were all monsters like him except his wife Julia, she was the only person kind to me, well that was until Riccardo killed her, well I'm not sure of the details but I have heard that while I was away in Spain, that was two years ago" she committed suicide because of the hell Riccardo had put her through, I know this because I came to the funeral for publicity reasons, Riccardo thought it wouldn't look good if his fake adopted daughter was absent at his wife's funeral, but I don't see how me being there made a difference because I didn't stay for more than two hours as I was taken back to Spain again

I felt sorry for poor Julia she was a kind hearted woman too kindhearted to be Riccardo's wife, I often wondered how she became the wife of such a cruel man, I don't blame her for doing what she did she must have been tired, it must have been hard living with Riccardo and his secrets" sometimes I doubt that she committed suicide" I think he killed her but that's just my thinking, who knows" no body knows the actual truth of what made her decide to throw herself over the balcony that day

After a while of sitting there and letting the cold water pour over me I decided to come out as I was starting to get cold, I took the towel and dried myself and then wrapped it around my body, I headed to the bedroom, I sat in front of the mirror and took the hair dryer and dried my hair after I was done I walked to the small closet that was filled expensive designer clothes from all kinds of brands, I picked the one to my liking, a white versace dress that clung to my body revealing my curves and some red Stilettos that made me look tall, I applied some simple light makeup and red lipstick before coming out of the cabin

Feeling more calm I sat down on my previous seat" and through the speakers I heard the attendant announce that we were about to land and all passagers should put their seatbelts on
