From Heart With Hate

Because I Can

"What is it ?"

"The chip ", He mouthed.

I was unable to understand what he was trying to say. Suddenly the realisation hit me; I unbuttoned my shirt a little to see the distorted skin on my shoulder.

"H-How ?"
"The night I brought you here, he made someone put it there; that's all I can tell you."

No wonder I had pain in my shoulder when I changed my clothes the next day. Such a sly person he is.

"How do I remove it ?"

He raised his eyebrows.
"You can't. I mean, you can, but it will hurt a lot. Also, we both will end up dead, so." He shrugged.

"I'm going to die anyway " I muttered under my breath.

" What did you say ?"

"I said, take me to my room, please." I opened my arms for him to carry me since my leg was still hurting.

He narrowed his eyes in doubt. "Sure "

I need to get this chip out of my body to get out of this hellhole and away from that bastard.

"Where do you think you are taking her?"

Speak of the devil. I mentally scoffed.

His eyebrows raised when he saw me in Tristano's arms.

"To her room ?" Tristano looked at me with uncertainty.

"This is her room."

"What do you mean ?"
I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You are staying here, Caterina." He said while placing his jacket inside his wardrobe casually.

Tristano hesitatingly dropped me down, making me lose balance, but Niccolò held my waist just in time.

"I don't want to be in your room ." I pushed him and went near the door to get out.
Suddenly he grabbed my arm from behind and twisted it behind me, making me wince in pain.

"Niccolò, don't you realise she has already suffered enough because of you ?"
Said Tristano while looking straight into his eyes; I wish I had enough courage to face him like that too.

"She doesn't have to piss me off."
"And you don't have to be such a dick."

Suddenly Niccolò punched him right across his face making me gasp.

"Tristano, are you alright ?"

He nodded while thick blood dripped out of his nose. He looked at Niccolò fiercely before getting out of the room.

Niccolò

I saw him leaving the room. How dare he stand up against me?

"WHY ?" She yelled at me in irritation.

"Didn't you hear me? You gotta stay here until -"

"You kill me", She mumbled.

"Smart girl. Where did your smartness go when you thought you could outrun me ?"

She scoffed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"One day, I will get out of here, and you won't be to catch me."

I pushed her against the wall while my arms tightened around her waist, pulling her closer to my chest. She gasped in surprise.

"Such a stubborn girl you are, Caterina; no matter how hard you try, you will always be back in my grip."

I said while placing a hand around her neck.

"Get off me ... please." She cried out in irritation.

"As you wish, Princess."

I stepped away from her releasing my grip, making her fall to the floor. She looked up at me while rolling her eyes. It's fun to annoy her.

She took a pillow and blanket from the bed and moved towards the sofa.

"Now now, kitten, not there."
"I am not sleeping on the floor." She protested.

I went towards her, took her in my arms, and carried her to the bed.

"Princesses don't sleep on the floor, Caterina."

"Princesses don't get beaten by baseball bats, Niccolò." She scoffed.

"I didn't want to hit you," I confessed.

"Brilliant reason for an excuse, sir."

She looked away from me towards the ceiling. A lone tear escaped her eyes.

"Aw baby, I am sorry, I shouldn't have -"
"You are gonna kill me anyway, then why are you suddenly being nice to me ?"

"One should be kind to the person on death bed, they say."

She wiped her tears and slept away from me. I could hear her snifflings.

"What wrong have I done to you ?"

"You didn't do anything, princess." I sighed.

"Then why do you want to kill me ?"

"Because I can."

"Oh yeah?" She turned away from me, wiping her tears.

I watched her fall asleep in front of my eyes. It felt beautiful. I can't express how she makes me feel.

I wrapped my arms around her while she snuggled into my chest sleepily.

"Only if I had an option, Princess."

Caterina

I woke up from the bright light falling on my eyes, taking me out of my deep slumber. I felt a strong pair of arms wrapped around me; I turned to see it was Niccolò. His hair was tousled, and he was...shirtless. Ngl is beautiful, but only if he had a little conscience.

"Such a bipolar person he is," I mumbled as I sat up.

"I heard that " his voice was hoarse, making me cringe in surprise as he wrapped his arms around my waist again.
"I am not afraid of you," I said as I yawned.

Suddenly he pulled me down and hovered over me, making me gasp at his sudden actions.
He held my arms and set them above my head, making me close my eyes in fear.

"Not afraid, eh ?"

He laughed. This was the first time I heard him laughing wholeheartedly.
I tried to kick him, but he wrapped his leg around my body, restricting my movements.
Suddenly, he brought his face near mine and lightly kissed me on my lips.
My eyes widened in surprise.

"What are -"

His lips ground over mine perfectly. I didn't kiss him back. I will never give him the satisfaction.
Suddenly he moved his hand inside my top and held my waist with his cold hands making me gasp. He slid his tongue into my mouth and explored every corner; I could feel my cheeks heating up.

I tried my best not to kiss him back but ultimately couldn't stop. God, I hate myself for this.
He loosened his grip on my body and moved backwards.

"Good morning, Princess."

I didn't say anything. I am not here for his nasty games. I got up from the bed and began to move out.

"Where are you going ?"

"To my room " I rolled my eyes.

"What for ?" He yawned.

"To get a bath and -" Suddenly, he swung me over and made me sit on his lap.

"You want to bath ?"

I nodded hesitatingly.

"With me ?"

I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.
I placed my hands over his chest and pushed him away.

"I-I will pass, thank you."

With that, I ran towards my room, and I could hear him chuckling.
Such a perverted bastard he is.
