black lace - mattia polibio

hostage.

avery's pov 

" holy fuck," i gasp. " thats one of the weirdest fuckin-" 

i look around and i was in a fancy room. i wasnt in my own bed and all by myself , i got off the bed and ran to the door but it was locked. 

" hello , is anyone there?" i said banging on the door. 

probably wasn't my best choice since i dont want to be in a room full of murderers. i knew something was up with them the first day i met them. they are awfully quiet and it made them look suspicious that no one really saw them. 

"hello?" some said entering the room. 

" get.out." i say sternly , " i dont want to even look at you."

" please just relax," he says calmly. " everything is gonna be fine"

" you want me to relax, after i saw alejandro kill someone?" i shout." are fucking crazy"

i moved far away from him as possible and tried not to look terrified. but i was , i am petrified and scared of what he would do to me.

" dont you raise your voice at me ," he raises his voice back.

" i work for a murderer , you people are sick." i spat, " dont fucking touch me"

" why didnt you tell me you dated elijah?" he ask me.  

" why would i need to tell you that?" i say , " how do you even know him?"

" he is just like me , ran into one of his man back at the office." mattia tells me . 

" who even are you?" 

" mattia polibio , head of the panthers, a mafia ." he says sitting up from the bed . " welcome to my mansion."

" cant believed i worked for you , for 3 years!" i mumble.

" well believe it baby," he smiles . " still cant believe you , out of all people dated elijah."

" well believe it baby," i mocked him. " how long are you keeping me here for?"

" i mean you have access to food , water , closet full of clothes , massive bathroom , and a nice bed. plusssss i am right next door.... who wouldnt want that." he smiles.

" are you gonna kill me?" i ask and he walks closer to me. 

" only if you give me a reason to,"  he caresses my cheek.

if you put it that way....

" am i aloud to leave this room, whenever i need too." i ask. 

" of course, but dont think you can escape. all my windows and doors are gaurded 24/7 by my soldiers . dont make it hard for you , i dont want to hurt you." 

fuck you.

" and lose your attitude . anyone who ever talks to me like that would have a bullet through their skull , if you wanna be next try me " he says sternly. 

" i dont have to respect or like at all ," i cross my arms .

" dont push your luck adair , i wont hesitate to kill you." he says.

i soften my expression when i see that he is serious. i dont want to die like this , im just gonna try my best to stay on his good side so he can let me out sooner. 

" can you get out now?" i ask. "i wanna shower and sleep."

" okey dokey , good night princess." he walks over to the door.

" do you really have to call me that?"

" i mean you dont like any other name ... so what the fuck am i supposed to call you." 

" um by my name , avery." i say . " its not that hard"

" ill call you whatever i want , goodnight" he says and walks out.

mattia's pov 

" so.... how'd it go?" ale asked

i walk over to the fridge ang grab an orange. " better than i thought."

" i may or may not have threatened to kill her" i scratch my neck . 

" jesus mattia , as if she wasnt scared enough," alejandro rolls his eyes . " can i talk to her?"

" ale she did just see you blatantly shoot someone in the face," kairi reminds him. " i dont think thats your best idea."

" just give her some time ," i add. 

" so what are we gonna do with her?" kairi ask ."we cant let her leave because she would tell and we cant kill her because she is innocent." 

" i dont know , we will figure it out," i say. "mean time , kairi you babysit"

" wait,why me?" he raises his voice .

" probably because she just saw ale kill someone and i threatened to kill her.... and that leaves you" i pat his back. " good luck"

" uhhh fuck you"

" i love you more"

next day  

knock knock 

" are you gonna eat?" i ask her through the door. 

" no im not hungry," she shouts through the door. 

" come on , you didnt eat yesterday and your not gonna eat now. whats next? you arents gonna eat lunch?"

" yup" she says through the door. " go away now" 

" come on , atleast once . you have to keep that body of yoours beautiful."

there was a silence between the door. " fine ill be down in a bit."

" she still not gonna eat?"kairi ask . 

" she will be down soon," i tell him . " where tf is ale?"

" in his room doing god knows what," 

avery appears around the corner rubbing her eyes. " just give me my food so i can leave."

" we dont like food in the bedrooms , sorry" i inform her and she rolls her eyes . 

" then im not hungry anymore , bye." 

" wait , atleast drink some orange juice," i say and she shakes her head. " god you people are so difficult."

kair laughs quietly as he watches. 

" you know what, kairi how about you ang avery go shopping . avery when you come back we can talk about some slef defense mechanisms."

" do i look like a person fucking shopper?" kairi scoofs . 

" buy whatever you want , and something nice for a mafia ball."

" excuse me? a ball?" she looks up . 

" an event with no violence as all the mafias come together to celebrate nothing." i smile . " just the perfect scenery for you."

" i dont want to be in a room full of murderers"

" you are now , the only difference is that there would be more." kairi explains.

" whatever , call me whenever your ready." avery says. 

" mattia , i didnt train just to take a girl shopping ." kairi says ." why cant you do it?"

" i have some errands to run," i inform him . " here take this money and just go."

" your taking her next time." kairi points at me as he walks away.
