His Fiore

31

Rose's P.O.V

"High five for the thing you did back there" Enrique said lifting his hand as I glared at him.

"Where's mama and how do we get out" I gritted my teeth as I stared at all the broken cameras.

"We have the keys but I don't really know where to go from here" he murmured scratching the back of his head.

After i made Arion bleed and bruise, he passed out like an absolute pussy, so Enrique carried him to the creepy basement I had found and tied him to the chair. You may think that's abit mean because it's a creepy basement under an old ass castle with literally one source of light but if he wakes up he might piss himself which is a win for me. Anyway, after that we decided to try find a place where we could could work out how to get away. Unfortunately, everybody has disappeared therefore, leaving us alone in a house where we may or may not die at the hands of a sadistic asshole.

I'm not going to wait around for him to wake up, I'm going to find a hiding spot and I know exactly where to go.

When we first got here I had seen a corridor with lots of portraits hung up, I specifically remember the one that looked eerily like Enrique's mother. Primis. First.

I still don't know what she was first for but that's besides the point. I will go find a space in a room from that corridor and I'll wait until someone comes and saves us.

Perfect plan.

Except I had a little problem.

The nagging mountain following me.

"That was arion wasn't it? Mr highschool sweetheart" Enrique mumbled with a slight annoyance in his voice.

I stayed silent, keeping my focus on my footsteps. Great, Enrique thinks that's the guy i lost my virginity to as well. Stupid Stupid Rosemary.

I don't even understand why he would come here after all these stupid years, papa spent so long getting rid of any attachment i had left to him whether it was my number or my life. And it seemed to work for however many years. But all of a sudden he wants to come back? There's something up with this entire scenario.

"Rose, i have the right to know about this man, tell me what he did and why the hell he came back for my wife!" Enrique spoke, his agitation and desperateness was practically leaking from his words. I simply rolled my eyes.

"He's an ex, you already knew that" i muttered, i don't need to explain anything to him.

"Yes but i also know he was a bad ex who made you do bad things but nobody ever told me what he actually did" He put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around, pulling me closer to him so i had to look straight at him.

"What did he do fiore?" he whispered with a certain gentleness to his words. I looked straight up into his eyes and held back the cry in my throat.

"I'm not ready to speak to you about it, please do not force me" i spoke, barely above a whisper, too scared that if i spoke any louder, i would break down.

He looked as though he wanted to protest and keep me here until he got the truth but he swallowed it down before slowly nodding.

"i'm ready when you are amor" He said giving me his hand with a very surprising smile on his face. I stared at his hand for a few minutes, reluctant to give him mine but ended up clasping my fingers with his anyway, to which he replied with a tight squeeze before walking again.

On the way, i explained to Enrique how i had seen a portrait that looked completely like his mother. Of course he thought i was being silly as per usual but the face that he made when we reached the corridor was priceless!!
