Adriano

Chaper 9

I only made it a few steps before Adriano grabbed my waist and pulled me into him.

"I fucking said no! you try to run away again fucking watch what happens" he snapped.

I could feel his breath on my face.

"Car. Now." He demanded letting go of my waist but placing his arm back on the top of the door and his other arm on the top of car trapping me.

Liam jumped to the middle and grabbed my shoes. he placed them on the floor and then moved back over to his seat. He stretched his hand out for me to take it and join him in the car. Diesel had his hand resting on the Handle ready to jump out and help Adriano if I did anything.

I noticed the gap under his arm from the corner of my eye. I didn't dare fully look at it because he would know I was going to try and run again.

It was risky and Adriano would be able to grab me faster but I took the chance and dodged under his arm.

I ran towards the big double gate that was wide open.

I ran as fast as I could and didn't look back till I was almost at the gates.

I finally turned to see Liam and Diesel both chasing after me and they were quickly catching up.

I kept my eyes forward and ran as fast as I could. All was going well that was until fell.
I didn't fall because I tripped,
someone tackled me.

I hit the ground but I pushed myself back up with my arms and rolled over so I was sat upright. I rubbed my hands together to dust the stones off them and I noticed the small grazes on both my knees.

I looked up to see a man with dark messy hair
Black trousers that were loosely tucked into black boots and a black shirt. He had a silver bracelet tight on his right wrist and a small tattoo on each of his fingers. He looked down at me slightly tilting his head as if he was examining and judging me but I couldn't comment on that as I was doing the same to him.

"Gotcha"

I didn't reply to him and he didn't say anything else, we just glanced towards Liam and Diesel who were now very close.

Still jogging both men finally approached us.

"Thanks Casi, boss would've killed me if we lost her." Liam spoke.

Diesel looped his arms under mine and sharply pulled me up.

"My legs are sore so I would appreciate it if you were gentle."

"That's your problem not mine. I don't care, maybe you shouldn't have decided to start a game of tag." He snapped back.

"Not my fault I was kidnapped".

I don't like Diesel. I hate him. I really hate him. He's such a little prick.

"Lexi this is casi, he also lives here." Liam introduced me to him.

"Casi?" I scoffed.

"Casimiro" he replied.

"thanks for catching her the boss will be pleased" Diesel changed the subject.

"It's no problem I saw her running and I thought you could use a hand" he said proudly.

"Are you coming to the party?" Asked Liam.

"hm I'm not sure are you guys going?" He asked.

"Yeah the boss is going and wants to introduce the girl to the other mafia leaders so we're going to help babysit" Diesel replied.
