✰Arya's POV✰
It's been five days I've been stuck here. Or it feels like five days.
They sometimes come inside to give me food which is scraps of bread and water.
I haven't eaten a whole meal for about a week. I feel weak, useless and worthless.
The blood has dried up on my wrists, I have memorized where everything is placed, how the water from the ceiling drips on the floor at the right side of me every five seconds, How I hear foot-steps around the time I assume is noon.
They took off the hand-cuffs off my wrists a few hours ago and I can finally move my hands.
I haven't looked at myself and can only imagine the state of my face and hair.
Today is what I assume my sixth day here, in this bloody basement with no windows nor the concept of time.
Rubbing my hands against my face, I bring my knees closer to my chest to bring myself some warmth as during the night, the basement floor is very cold.
Trying to stop the shivers leaving my mouth, The door rumbles and Aaron enters the room wearing a white dress shirt with a black tie and his lip piercing glistens underneath the blinding light.
Hiding my face in my hands and knees, I do not wish to face him nor talk to him.
"Tesoro, non puoi nasconderti così per sempre" He says in Italian.
(Sweetheart, you know you can not hide like this forever)
Not responding, He comes near me and crouches down to my level.
"Arya, come with me. I need to show you something." He says with the audacity that I will believe he isn't taking to kill me or drug me.
Taking in a deep breath, I meet his emerald green eyes and grab his tie pulling him closer to me.
Shocked by what I just did, Aaron's eyes widen and his Adam's apple bobs up and down.
And I notice the little features he has like the curved eyelashes and the most perfect brows and the few freckles that litter his face.
"Do not think I will forgive you so easily. I am not your sweetheart" I whisper in his ear.
God he smells so good. And that lip piercing, I wish to lick and bite it. And that jet black hair I want to run my hands through.
But this is not the right man to have thoughts or interactions with.
Pushing him away from me to make distance between us, I lean my back against the wall and go back to routine I followed in the past five days. Without Aaron.
"Stop looking at me and get lost" I say in a low tone as I catch him still staring at me with his pupils dilated and lips parted.
He clears his throat and attempts to speak.
" Arya, I am serious. Come with me. I will show you something. If you do not agree then you will be taken forcefully." He says in a restrained voice.
"Take me forcefully if that is what is needed to be done" I say in a disinterested voice.
He grunts and holds my arm, forcing me to stand up. I try to stand straight but as I have not eaten anything for a while now, my body has no strength at all.
"Stand straight" He says in an angry tone.
Getting annoyed with his anger I yell " I CANNOT PHYSICALLY STAND UP YOU FUCKER."
"And do not think of escaping. Guards are patrolling the area at all times" He says with a smug smirk.
After regaining my balance, I start following his large frame and after five whole days I leave that horrid room.
The rooms outside all look exactly the same. It seems this is a torture dungeon where monsters like me are placed.
Following him upstairs, I see a huge chandelier hung on the ceiling and the most exquisite decorations decorating the hall.
White and gold with elegant strokes was the theme that followed the whole hall.
Following Aaron to another set of stairs, We enter a huge room with a circular table in the middle. It looks like a room where they generally have meetings.
"Why are we here" I ask in a stern voice.
" To discuss a few things" He says in a low tone.
"Well then, Let's sit and discuss those few things you have on your mind"
Sitting down on one of the seats, Aaron sits right in front of me and the
memories of the past few days flood my mind like a tornado.
I despise how I look even tho I'm only imagining it.
Everything had just turned upside down in the span of 24 hours.
The nectar that had brightened my life was turned to poison and given to me.
I look at all the new bruises on my arms and melancholy surrounds my soul.
Looking up, I meet the eyes of Aaron and pure hatred rushes through me.
Everything that had happened is because of him.
My life was and is ruined all because of the man sitting in front of me.
Aaron clears his throat and starts talking.
" A ball is scheduled this Friday-"
"And what does that have to do with me" I interrupt him.
"Let. Me. Finish" He says in an angry tone.
"There is a ball supposed to happen on Friday, and I am invited. This ball happens yearly and all the mafia leaders have to attend it with a date.
This is my proposal to you. I ask you to be my date" He says.

A/N.
Hey everyone!
It's been a while I've updated. But I have a fair reason as to why I didn't.
I've re-updated the previous chapters changed the plot and names of many of the characters.
So I suggest you may read all the chapters again as they have been re-written and written better.
Thank you all so freaking much for your support and I honestly love you all! <333
Much love and regards
