Caged, abused and tortured, Ariana's life had been a living hell until she was forced to spy on the most dangerous mafia in the whole world, La Cosa Nostra. Will her life take an unexpected turn or will the revelation of a catastrophic secret ruin h...
Then, I started walking towards the exit. Serena frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Without turning back, I replied, "Home. To someone who's way more important to me than you or any other woman can ever be."
Then, I faced her and looked her right in the eyes. She flinched in response to my cold behaviour as I warned her, "The next time you even dare to get closer to me or call my name let alone touching or kissing me, I'll send you six feet under. Fucking remember that."
I walked back to my car and I knew that her frown changed into a glare. But, she needed to play sweet and manipulative so she managed to put on a smile. Cunning, fake and evil smile. I didn't give much attention to her and drove back home. It was a thirty five minutes drive so as soon as I reached my penthouse, I almost ran to my room and changed into my black, silk pajama bottoms. Then, I went to Ariana's room to have a glance of her. I didn't see her for the whole day and I kind of missed having her around me.
Ew, cheesy.
I silently opened the door and looked at her. She was sleeping but she didn't look peaceful. It looked like she was having a nightmare because her facial expression contained fear and anguish. She was mumbling something in her sleep so I walked a little bit closer to her, making sure that she didn't wake up.
"N-no..." She stuttered in an almost inaudible tone, "P-please, don't h-hurt m-me... Leave me a-alone I b-beg of y-you!"
Tears started to roll down her cheeks and she started muttering something I couldn't understand. All I could understand was that she was terrified and wanted help. I rushed to her and sat next to her. I leaned towards her and started to caress her forehead as she started moving continuously. She pushed me away thinking that I was going to hurt her as she murmured, "Don't touch me..."
I kissed her forehead and whispered, "Ariana, it's me."
But, she started sobbing, "Don't do this! Stop!"
I touched her face and gently shook her as I said, "Ari, don't be afraid. It's just a nightmare and you're completely fine."
She slightly opened her eyes and looked at me with bewilderment. The aftermath of the nightmare was still making her tremble and sniffle with apprehension. She grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to her. She was still pouting so, I kissed her lower lip as I said, "You're with me now, princess. You're safe... nobody is gonna hurt you."
She hugged me tightly. Her tiny backs were wrapped around my neck and her legs were wrapped around my waist. I hugged her with the same intensity and rubbed her back to console her.

"I'm scared." She mumbled, "They used to come e-everyday and... r-rape me regardless of the fact how sick or w-wounded I was due to t-tortures and s-starvation."
