Nicolas' Pov :"FUCK! I knew that! Everything is messed up just for that whore!" John exclaimed."Shut your fucking mouth before I shove all the bullets inside it!" I growled."Can you two stop?" Bella scoffed."John is right. We're in this big mess just for the girl. They got some damn never to enter our territory and the bad news is the cops are with them." Romano sighed. I just couldn't believe John and Romano were blaming Natalia. It of course wasn't her fault."Why are you two blaming that girl? First of all, you guys planned to reach the mayor and the commissioner by kidnapping her." Eva sipped on the beer bottle."She's right, Romano. You guys can't blame Natalia. Fuck, she even doesn't know anything about this shit." Stephen sighed and gulped all the whiskey from his glass."She even tried to escape many times and Nick almost killed her for that. So why the fuck you two are blaming her now instead of finding a way to get and kill those bastards!" Stephen slapped on the table

Ashley was a very kind-hearted and wonderful woman like Rosetta. I missed Rosetta, the only person I found very kind and caring in the house.Finally, the cab stopped in front of a narrow street. We walked out of the cab and I followed Ashley inside the street. She stopped in front of the first old, dilapidated-looking building with a blue-painted "Rosaline's Coffee House" above the row of windows. Although the small windows were a bit grimy but what I could see from outside, the place looked cozy and aesthetic. Ashley unlocked the door and went inside as I followed her. The inside of the house was comfortably calm and warm, small tables and chairs were decorated neatly, and the smell of coffee beans lingered everywhere. I looked at the old wall clock that showed it was past ten."You said your name is Ashley?" I said while sitting on a stool beside the kitchen."Oh, my mother's name was Rosaline. She opened this coffee house when she was only 19 years old. She even met my dad at thi

"But who are you, man?" I heard Ashley's voice downstairs."It doesn't matter. Where's Natalia?" A deep familiar voice spoke."She's upstairs, probably sleeping," Ashley spoke this time. Wait, what?My eyes snapped open when I understood I wasn't dreaming. I quickly got up and walked into the bathroom to freshen up. Fardinn was right, he finally found out where I was. How freaking powerful was he?!When I got out of the bathroom, I saw Nicolas was already sitting on my tiny bed, legs crossed and looking at me blankly."Nicolas.." I gulped the lump in my throat."Let's go." He suddenly stood up and grabbed my hand then pulled me out of the bedroom, making me flinch under his rough touch."Natalia, who are they?" Ashley looked at me questionably."My cousins! My cousins! They finally found me." I quickly answered and smiled awkwardly.The tension raised between Ashley and the criminals. I glanced at Mariano and Victor who were sitting on the couch, both raising their eyebrows at me. I

The next morning I woke up alone in the bed, Nick was long gone. And I was happy and relieved for that because I didn't want to see his face after what he had done to me. I took a warm quick shower and finished my morning routine before heading downstairs. The fever and headache were gone but I was feeling so weak. At first, I didn't want to get out of my room but I wanted to meet Rosetta, so I made my way to the kitchen.When Rosetta saw me, she ran toward me and hugged me tightly. "Oh, honey. I've heard what happened to you. I'm so sorry." She mumbled."I told him it wasn't my fault. Anyways, I missed you, Rosetta." I murmured as I hugged her back."I missed you too, honey. Listen, that boy didn't want to do that. It was an accident you know. He was so mad when you were gone. I can bet he missed you." He cupped my cheeks and smiled sadly."If he missed me, then why would he try to kill me? I don't wanna talk about him, Rosetta. He's a pervert." I scoffed and sat on the kitchen cou

"Oh my God! This is so beautiful!" I gasped looking at the Louis Vuitton skin-colored heels. "Take this. I'll match perfectly with the gown." Bella clapped her hands and grinned. "Yeah. Okay." I giggled. I bought an aqua-colored awesome sleeveless evening gown from Chanel that had a long slit on the right thigh. Bella chose a black-colored long-sleeved gown while Eva purchased a red-colored spaghetti straps gown. It looked like it was going to be a big party. "Now we're going to the lingerie section!" Eva cheered when we were done shoe shopping. "Okay, okay." I giggled at her. Bella and Eva again wrapped their arm around my shoulder and led me toward an expensive lingerie shop. "Well, you two are holding me like I'm a one-year-old baby. I can walk on my own." I pouted. "No, Miss Porcelain Doll. Nicolas said 'If you two fail to protect my angel, I'll break Romano's dick'. Now can I see my mate crying for her boyfriend's broken dick?" Bella laughed looking at Eva while Eva gla
