Mine Forever

Chapter 12

I walked into the eerily silent house. That was strange I thought someone would have been home today no maids or bodyguards were to be seen seen.

I was about to head up to my room when I noticed, that dark almost almost camouflage door. It was left slightly ajar. A deep red light was peaking out an I got the urge to peak inside.

My mind raced as I got closer an I started to hear light noises it sounded like a muffled scream an the slight tump tump noise.

I got closer my heart beating as I pushed open the door an stepped in.

I immediately wish I hadn't.

I stared in horror as I watched Lorenzo, taking electric jumper cables and using them on a man strapped to the table.

The muffled screams I was hearing was from this man with a gag in his mouth. An the tump tump was the sound of his body violently jerking on the table.

" Are you going to talk Manuel or am I going to have to kill you?,"

He asked in such a nonchalant way, as if this was normal for him. As if he were asking a casual question.

The man on the table, Manuel, nodded weakly. Lorenzo ordered one of his men to take off the gag. Manuel told him something in broken Italian that I could really comprehend.

When he was done I saw Lorenzos demeanor change, from icy cold to an eruption of rage as he took the gun from his side an fired two bullets into the skull of Manuel, sending pieces of his brain matter scattering the wall.

I could move I stood there in utter shock and disbelief. This man, a man who I thought I knew, just tortured and killed someone in front of me.

I felt light headed and everything started swirling around me as I tired to gain some control of my body to walk out but I just couldn't.

Everything went black in an instant.

Lorenzo's P. O. V.

This is a mess.

Five men. I've already killed five of my most loyal men. All of this because they got taken in by a suitcase if money an fake power.

I sighed an threw my gun at Xander one of my new recruits an turned to my men.

"This is what happens when you betray my trust." I said simply, I looked over at Xander, " Get rid of that," he nodded calmly but I didn't miss the nervousness in his eyes as he turned and walked away.

"Clean this up," I told two of my other men, I was half way up the stairs when I stopped as I noticed a few strands of jet black hair.

I rushed up and opened the door wider. ", ROBERT!!," I yelled for him as I bent down an checked her pulse it was still beating steady she just fainted.

"Yes sir," he said an looked down with a surprised expression. I got up and slapped him across the face. He fell to the floor an held his bleeding lip.

" You were supposed to fucking watch her, now she knows an tomorrow Sofia is coming back," I grunted knowing I'm going to have to probably hold off Sofia's arrival until I could calm Vicky down.

I was supposed to silence her now. She could be a liability to me but as I bent down an picked her up. Watching her peaceful face, I knew I could never hurt her an I will never let anyone else.

I carried her to her room, Robert following closely behind. He opened the door for me when we reached her room an stepped aside.

The room smelt like her the sweet smell of rose an honey. I placed her down gently on the bed and sighed as I watched her turn to a more comfortable position.

"This is going to be a lot of work."

Victoria's P. O. V

I opened my eyes blinking a few times getting them to adjust. It was dark. I was on a bed. I looked around and was able to make out this was my bedroom.

I slowly got up trying to remember what happened and how I got here then it hit me. Everything I saw. The torture, the murder, the blood, the brains. Vivid images started playing out in front of me and I rushed to the bathroom , hunching over the toilet and emptying out all the contents of my stomach.

When I was done I flushed the toilet and meekly stood up. I washed my hands then splashed water on my face and took a deep breath.

There's only one way that I got up here. They know. He knows.

I know his not going to let me leave... Alive that is. But then why bring me back to my room if your intention is to kill me anyway?.

Does he want to torture me too?

A shiver ran down my spine. What the hell does he want?! I pulled a towel from the rack and wiped my face.

Just as I was thinking what to do next, my room door opened and I instinctively shut the bathroom door.

I heard a frustrated sigh and then footsteps coming to the door.

"I know your in there Victoria come out so we can talk."

He said it so casually as if I didn't just watch him murder a man in cold blood. I looked around the bathroom looking for a window or something to slip out from.

" I'm going to give you till the count of 3 before I break this door down. " he warned in an eerily cool voice. My heart hammered and I quickly snapped the lock in place, as I decided to take my chances with the small window at the top. 

"1.."

I lifted myself onto the side of the ceremic side of the tub carefully trying not to slip.

"2..."

My heart was thundering in my chest as I pushed the window open and tried to heave myself up.

"3..."

The sound of the wooden door banging forcefully filled my ears my heart was racing I looked out it was quite high but if I kept to the ledge I would be okay.

I was half way out the window when I heard the door shatter. I was pulled back down by my hips forcefully. I tried to hold on but he was to strong.

"LET GO OFF ME!!!", I yelled at him scratching an crawling at his back as he easily tossed me over his shoulder an brought me back in my room. Throwing me onto the bed. I looked up at him with disgust an pure hate. I refused to be weak, I've been through a lot in life an I've never begged I will be damned if I had to beg for my life now.

His face was expression less as always, "I'm not going to kill you," he stated, " There are only two things you could do Miss. Pérez, an that's either continuing to be a nanny for Sofia and act like non of this ever happened or my men could take care of you and no one will know a thing,"

He looked at me waiting patiently for my response, I had no choice in this matter. The pay was good, he'd never once tried to harm me and Sofia was living well with him way before I came. So maybe I could do this, I know it's selfish because the only thing I'm thinking about is not being dead or on the streets again but I really had no option.

I looked down at my hands and then back up at him. "I will agree to forget everything on one condition", he nodded urging me to go on, " what is it you do?," he smirked and got really close to me if I moved his lips would brush mine.

"I'm a Mafia Don Principessa," .
