KELSEY

"Here kitty kitty kitty."

"Shewewewewew."

Still no answer.

"Luciano." I screamed, barging into our room. "Where the fuck is my kitten?"

His body visibly tensed at the question and I knew something was up.

He looked up from the his laptop and quickly lowered his head.

"Luciano. Where is my kitten?" I asked again. This time in a demanding tone.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He shrugged and began typing away.

"What the fuck do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about. My little black kitten that Vlad bought for me." I yelled and his jaw clenched. He knows something.

"Watch your tone amore." He warned and my eyes began to water.

"I want my kitten Luciano." I began sobbing and he stood up and engulfed me into a hug.

"Shh bella. Don't cry, it's the circle of life." He cooed and my body stilled. The fuck.

What's the circle of life.

"Luciano." My tone was stern and he began backing away. "Where's the kitten?"

"He's in a better place now amore." 

He has to be fucking with me. There is no way. He can't possibly be serious.

"What do you mean he's in a better place. What did you do to him?" I clenched my fist and his body shifted towards the door.

"I threw it away." He stated blankly.

He what.

"You what!" I shouted and he just shrugged.

"I threw the little thing away."

Haha he's so funny.

The expression on his face told me he was dead serious.

"Why'd you do that Luciano." I sobbed. "Why'd you throw my kitten away."

He scratched the back of his neck and then his nose.

"I...I uhmm." He stuttered. Luciano doesn't fucking stutter.

"Why?" I cried.

"It died." Was all he said and began opening the door.

"How did it die Luciano?" I began stalking towards him, ready to rip his ball off.

"I was giving it a bath. The little fucker was so nasty, he kept clawing at my hands." He showed me his hands that were red and scarred from the cat's claws. "Look."

"So you killed him because he clawed you." I deadpanned and he fake gasped.

"How could you say such a thing bella. I didn't kill him."

I don't believe a word he says.

"So what happened then?" I queried and I could see him searching his brain for answers.

"When I was giving it a bath." He continued. "My phone rang and I stepped out for a call, leaving the little fella in the tub."

Lord please tell me this man isn't serious.

"When I got back, he was laying still in the water." His voice dropped and he looked at the floor. "He drowned bella. His body was so stiff when I took up the little thing. So I threw him away."
