Niccolo's POV
I looked towards my father who had confusion in his eyes. I said nothing. I just brought my hand back from my cheek seeing the blood that coated my fingers.
What did I do wrong? Was it something I said?
It's my fault though, I should have never kissed him.
"I don't...... I don't want to know" My father shrugged walking straight pass, not sparing me a second glance.
I said nothing to him and ignored Ariano's concerned gaze walking back into Marcus' room and cleaning up the small mess we had made.
I heard when Ariano followed me inside but said nothing as I threw away the bloody cotton balls that littered the floor.
He didn't say anything, he just bent down beside me and helped me clean up. I noticed the moment he paused his movements and I followed his gaze to the bed where the sheets were no longer tidy like they usually were.
I looked back down to the floor and I didn't have to say anything because I knew that he knew. He knew what happened, he knew why Marcus hit me and he knew why he left. He knew why he asked me not to touch him and he knew why I let him leave.
Next I got up and fixed his sheets back to the straightness that he always had them.
A sigh left my lips as I knew that those few seconds of pleasure were to be exchanged for probable days of pain.
"Do you have any targets for today?" Ariano mumbled, successfully and temporarily taking my mind off of Marcus.
"I have four. Luckily they will all be in the same place within the next five hours" I answered checking my watch for the time.
"Are you going to tell your mom or dad about your secret alter personality?" I paused my movements, glaring at him.
"The more people that know, the more I'm at risk. You only found out because you caught me in the act when you couldn't stay your clingy ass in one place." I scoffed and he laughed.
"Even Batman needs a sidekick" I raised an eyebrow.
"One, Robin was completely useless. And two, I'm no hero." I stared at him and he shifted uncomfortably under my gaze.
"So what happens when someone orders a hit on someone in our own gang or an alliance gang?" I thought about it for a few seconds.
"I'll kill them" I answered and Ariano frowned at my answer.
"And if it's me? If it's your father?" I shrugged at his question as a small smile cracked on my lips at the horror that was on his face before it turned into a daring look.
"And you think you can kill me?" His hands reached into his pockets and I turned my body towards him in a standoff.
"I know where you live.....literally and your schedule. I know what time you go to sleep and wake up every single day. I know your bank account number from memory and know all of your weaknesses..... I know I can kill you...if I wanted to" I smiled innocently and Ariano looked unamused.
