Aurora Vega

The music started to get slower.

We slow danced to the music leaving no space in between us. "Kai?" I whisper in the crook of his neck.

"Angel?" I sigh and grip him harder pulling him closer to me. "You look beautiful." I hear him say in a hushed tone.

His hands reached into his pocket and he pulled out something I thought I would never see again.

It was my mother's necklace. With the Angel Wing on it. I felt the tears build up in my eyes. "You found it?" I looked up to look at him. He smiled and looked down at me. "I got it done so you can wear the Angel wing with it."

He took the necklace and unclipped it pulling my hair to the side, putting it on me. A single tear awaited my eye. Kai took his thumb and brushed it away. "Why?" He sighed. "Aurora." He breathes out.

"I'm sorry." I look at him with pure anger. "You're sorry? Do you have any idea what I have been through these past few months?" I shook my head. "That's not the point. Why, Kai? You hurt me, out of everything that has happened you still managed to hurt me the most. So why did you do it?"

I watched as his eyes twitched and he pulled me into a hug.

Kai's hugging me?

Diavolo Costello?

"I'm sorry Aurora, I really am. I don't want to push you away but I didn't know what else to do." He pulled away still rocking. "What do you mean?"

My father threatened to do bad stuff to you if I didn't get 'rid of you.' The last part came off sarcastic. "I could stand the thought of him hurting you. So as much as it hurt me to tell you what I did. I only ever wanted you to be safe."

"Why are you here now, and why aren't you wearing your mask?" He just shakes his head. I looked at him to see that his eyes had bags underneath them, he had gotten more tattoos on his body especially on his neck. But what caught my attention the most was he has mama tattooed on his knuckles.

"My father's dead, I killed him. And he killed my mom." Kai's last words came off in a stutter. His lips were quivering. I saw as his eyes became watery.

My eyes became watery as well. I pulled him close and trapped him in a bear hug. He held me tight, not letting go.

"It hurts Aurora, it hurts so fucking bad. She was the only person I had left."

"You have me, Kai, you always have." He lifted his head up and kissed me on the forehead.We continued like that until we had to separate, though I was sad to be away from his warmth. When the song ended the audiences' applause filled our ears. I couldn't help but smile at him. In that very hour, I wondered why I didn't see it before.

Kai is my person, he has always been my person.

"Come with me, Miss. Vega?" I wanted more than anything to say yes, but I couldn't. Not with my father lurking around. I sighed. "I can't." He sighed.

"Just come with me for a second." I knew I should, but I did anyway. We walked through the crowd and down a hall. After walking for a bit we stopped at a balcony. The railing was gold and full of designers. And the view was beautiful.

I felt Kai grab my waist and pull me against him. "Will you tell me what happened when you left?" I looked down at the floor playing with my dress. Kai grabbed my hands and pulled my jaw up to look at him.

"My father kidnapped me one night when I was walking down the streets. He drugged me so I couldn't do anything. I woke up on a jet and landed in Las Vegas . He's been training me to be an assassin. And as far as I'm concerned, I am one now." I felt angry just thinking about it. " Aurora assassins aren't trained there-" I cut him off.

"They're tortured, I know." I gave him a weak smile. He leaned into me and I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him down standing on my tips toes. Before our lips connected he spoke. "Can I kiss you, Angel?" I smiled and smashed my lips on his.

We kissed like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it's nothing like I've ever experienced, and I suddenly understand why people describe kissing as melting because every square inch of my body dissolves into his. My fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer. My veins throb and my heart explodes.

I have never wanted anyone like this before.

Ever.

My toes curled, my eyes zeroed in on his, his smell even more hypnotic. The taste of him... silenced my thoughts and made me want more.

He pushed me against the wall with a thump and the kiss became more tender, more filled with desire. I haven't been able to touch this man in over a month.His hands trailed over my body.

I bit his lip softly and heard a groan escape his throat. Which just made me want him every more. "Cagna." (Bitch.) Someone called out. And we broke our kiss. I looked to the side to see Gray and Vince sanding behind us.

I immediately ran over to them giving them both a hug. They both hugged me back. " I missed your dumb assess." They both chuckled.

I release them from the hug. "We missed you Aurora," Vince spoke. "I missed you guys too." I giggled to myself. "Not going to lie, out of all the people I've become close with, you two are definitely my favorite." I watched as their cheeks get red.

They both looked very uncomfortable like they didn't know what to say. "Which one of you is the underboss?" I question.

They both look at each other and I watch Vince roll his eyes and Grayson wink at him. "I am." Gray answers. I giggled at both of them.

I turned back to Kai then back at them. "I Umm, I need to go. I've already been gone for too long. If my father doesn't see me it won't be very good." Vince and Gray look at Kai.

As I was about to leave, Gray grabbed my arm. "Wait, do you know how Kai killed his father?" A smirk appeared on his lips. "No." I shook my head.

"He brutally beat him to death then set him on fire." My eyebrows shot up. "You set him on fire?" He nodded like he was ashamed. I smiled at him.

"I wish I would have been there to see." I send him a cocky smile and leave. As I walked down the hall I was grabbed and shoved into a room.

My father stood in front of me. "What the fuck do you think you're doing leaving without my permission?" He spat on my face.

All of a sudden he brought out the small device that triggers the device in my arm. "I won't do it again. I just went for a walk." He chuckled and pressed the bottom.But he didn't go to 7 or 8 what he usually goes up to, he went to 10.

My body collapsed to the floor.

My screams echoed the walls, my body was shaking on the floor. My hands curled into a ball. My nails are digging into my hands drawing blood. I screamed and cried.

I felt like my body was being ripped apart from the inside.
