After Laura *365 days trilogy sequel*

Chapter 7

When Mila woke up the next day and realized she wasn't in the hotel nor the hospital. She also realized that her head was pounding. What the fucking fuckery!? That's when she remembered what happened. She was getting the last of her things at the hotel when Massimo and his suited goons showed up.

She fell and it went black. 

She sat up and looked around. She was confused. She wasn't in the clothes she was in when she was at the hotel. She was in silk pajamas. Who the hell changed her!? She felt disgusting thinking of Massimo changing her clothes while she was passed out. Who know what he did to her while she was out.

She got out of the bed and went to the door. She was able to open it, making here grin. Fucker didn't think she'd get out. 

She snuck out and looked around for an escape. Maybe even a weapon in case she ran into trouble. Or ran into HIM in particular. She wanted to make sure she was able to at least attempt to protect herself.

She made it to a stairwell and snuck down the stairs. Looking around for any movement. But something stopped her. It wasn't a person or movement. It was a scent. An amazingly delicious smell. It was food.

Her stomach growled in needy hunger. 

She can't get distracted! She needed to focus on making it back home, away from this crazy Italian! 

"You're finally awake." She turned and squealed as she almost fell back off the stairs, but he grabbed onto her and pulled her in close before she could accidentally hurt again. She looked up into Massimo's dark eyes.

Her heart was racing from adrenaline from his scaring her, and from nearly falling again.

She tried to get out of his grip as he led her down the last two steps. She shoved him away and glared at him.

"You fucking bastard!" She shouted at him. He just watched her as she started demanding he let her go back to her family. "Your family will be here for the wedding." He explained. She kept glaring at him. "There will be NO wedding! Not between you and I. Get that threw your thick fucking skull." She spat at him.

"I was going to check on you as lunch was about ready. But I saw you were up and out of our room that I wanted to make sure you don't hurt yourself again." He told her as he held a hand out for her to take. Speaking to her as if she wasn't screaming at him for kidnapping her!

She was shell shocked at how he was behaving!

"Come on now. Let's get you fed. You've been in and out of sleep for two days." He told her, pulling her to him and walking her to where they can sit and eat.

Their lunch consisted of tomato bisque, and grilled cheese made with fresh bread, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and peppers. the sandwich was cooked in a panini press so it had a nice crunch on it.

It was amazing and tasted so good. 

But she didn't want to like the food. She didn't want anything else from Massimo. 

BUT IT WAS SO YUMMY!

After nothing but take out and hospital food, her stomach and soul was loving this homemade food. So well made and made with fresh ingredients. She could tell that it was all fresh ingredients just by tasting it.

  "I was thinking a summer wedding. I have an island that will be perfect for it." He told her as she finished her food. She looked at him for the first time since they sat down and ate.  "I'm. Not. Marrying. You." She told him once more.

"I am not giving you a choice. I need someone to love. And you will fit perfectly." He told her. "Oh, so the first person similar to your precious Laura you see will do? If you want something to love, go get a pet." She told him.

He raised an eyebrow and his jaw clenched when she mentioned Laura's name. She slammed her hands on the table as she stood.

"That's right. I know what she looked like. I know people too. I found what she looked like. I found what you did. Stockholm Syndrome. That's what she had with you. Not love. Not real love." She told him. "She was happy with her new husband. Away from you and I don't blame her! You are insane! And just like her I will NEVER love you! I am NOT Laura!" She shouted at him. 

He quickly stood and grabbed her by the throat.

She looked at him, her eyes widening. He wasn't choking her, but it was a threat. She was scared. He could killer her easily. 

"Not a word about Laura." He growled at her. 

"You will marry me. I'm not giving you any choice. I will have you." He told her and then let go. 

She ran away with tears in her eyes. He sighed and ordered for someone to keep an eye on her. He knew that she wouldn't be able to escape but he didn't want her to hurt herself anymore. She will have to get use to this new life. He honestly didn't care if she didn't want to.
