Paid to love

Chapter 10

*Police Sirens*

"You were sloppy Nathaniel the wife found the body, there are police everywhere looking for you."

"Yh, and they'll never find me. That dude was rich and if his body suddenly went missing questions were gonna be asked, questions you don't want to answer. It's all planned out perfectly, it's gonna be written off as a suicide by poisoning.

He was already drinking, so maybe he was drunk enough to mistake the bleach for the wine.

They'll start looking into his background, places he's been recently, and when they do, the place that Emma was bought at will come up and who bought her will be there, we just have to get there first."

"Well, I do see the appeal of sitting back and letting them do all of the work for us, but only if you manage to pull this of. We cant mess up."

"Don't worry mom , Emma will be in our hands soon enough, along with all of her money."

....

Italy

"Wow this is a really nice garden, I've only seen half of these in books. Ughh these would look so pretty back home. Hold on is this ... wolf spain?

"Do you always talk to yourself or are you just lonely."

"Oh my god, you scared me I didn't even hear you come outside."

"Well Emma, when you spend most of your time with a paranoid mom, you learn a thing two."

"Or your just a creep*chuckle*, hey do you mind if I take some of this? I'm kinda obsessed with it."

"So you can poison us in our sleep? Sure."

"Ok, so I'm gonna ignore that painful joke and take that as a yes."

"Yh, that kinda sucked, sorry I'm alittle rusty, but I can make up for it, there's a surprise in your room."

"Uh sure why not, sure can't be worse than that."

As she made her way inside, she held the plant away from her. As pretty as wolf spain was, she couldn't risk it's poisonous touch. As she opened the door she gasped to see her room was filled with clothes on racks.

"I didn't know what you liked so I bought them all."

"Wow this is...alot, where are all of these gonna fit? I mean I know the closet's big but not that big."

"Trust me It'll fit and on that note I have another gift for you."

"There's more? Becareful, I might think your tryna bribe me."

Emma whipped around as she heard the sound of a dog barking, she bent down and snatched up Leo and hugged him tightly.

"Leo I missed you so much, how did you know?"

"I might've stalked your Instagram alittle."

Emma laughed as she thanked Massimo. She was so happy that she hadn't realized that she started crying.

"I'll give you too some privacy, I set up a little house for her in the livingroom. And next week my mom's having a ball, seeing that you have so much clothes now, I was wondering if you wanted to go."

"Well seeing that you did such nice things for me, I'll consider it. You know you're not half as bad as I thought."

Thanks, I'm gonna go on a jog, breakfast is on the table if you hungry."

" Can I come with you? Even though it's beautiful I want to be further than the garden."

"Yh, sure, don't think you can keep up tho."

*Fifteen minutes later*

"Wow you were not kidding, this is *pant* alot Just gimmie 5 minutes and I swear I can take you. *Weeze* Maybe an hour."

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

Emma rolled over on her stomach and stared at a lake filled with lotus's, small bees buzzing around trying to find a flower with nectar.

"Yh it is, I never sat back and thought about it but this is a really nice place."

"Maybe this could be the place you come to when you wanna talk, or just be alone, get away from everyone you know."

"Yh, maybe I will. It'll be both of our places."

As the wind blew Emma stepped closer to the edge and held out her hands. She looked back as she felt his hands slowly sliding into hers and felt herself being pulled into a kiss.
