Zoe and Giovanni

Chapter 17.

Zoe's pov
Four days later.

Victoria had left on Monday so meaning today is on a Thursday, Perez had not yet come home,I never called him and he never called me.
I think he was or he is busy with his work.
Anne left a couple hours ago and I was left alone with his two or three bodyguards.
I took my phone and made sure I locked all the doors before going to my bedroom.
I really get scared when I am left alone at night especially if it is a huge castle like this one. If it was a one bedroomed apartment at least I would know how to handle strangers , unlike in this house,you can not know if thieves broke in or if things were stolen.
I took a shower and changed into my night clothes. A red silk short with a matching top.
And y'all it's sexy, since no one was in the house, and bodyguards stay outside, well I have the whole house to my self.

I took my earphones and laid on the bed awaiting for sleep to come but it wasn't coming  I started mediating on how my life has become ever since I met Perez, Full of loneliness, hurt , no job, misery but don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. On the other hand I get to experience a wealthy life. it's cool. it's giving me ideas on my dream house,and dream cars.

After a while I heard someone messing with the cutlery but I thought it was Anne. I ignored it and went on with my business. But then again ,I heard drawers being pulled open and being closed, now that caught my attention.
I took my  crotchet sweater and walked slowly towards the kitchen .
"Anne is that you?" no answer.
"Perez, Tony, Leo?" No answer.

It was dark inside so picking something to defend myself with was difficult.
I walked carefully and struggled to look for the kitchen socket and I flipped it open. And I screamed.
My hand went straight to my heart and I fell against the counter trying to look for something to protect myself with.
He is leaning against the refrigerator and his back is facing the wall.
His feet are crossed at the ankles and his eyes are directed towards me. He sips from his glass of wine and removes a gun from his waist band.
" Don't move and stay where you are unless you want me to blow your brains off."
He said. He looked Abit old with a beard, and an accent which sounded like Russian. His hair was a mixture of black and white.
I nodded in fear.
" So you are Perez's girl. damn you are a natural and you are so beautiful." He said while looking at me intently. I could feel that he was stripping me naked with his big eyes. Taking me in, every curve. I saw his eyes land on my breasts and I could see hunger, not because he was hungry for food but because my cleavage was showing.
"What's your name . He asked as he walked towards me.
"Zo...Zoe." I said while trembling.
He started moving his gun along my skin and it's cold metallic texture made me shiver. And with one swift motion I was thrown on the couch. I started screaming,
" Get of off me, Please! Get of off me!" I cried. He closed my mouth with his big hands and I tried to bite them. It made him angry.
He grabbed my left breast, not touching, GRABBED, and I summoned all my energy and pushed him off of me. I quickly took one of the shade lamps and hit him on his head, I saw blood coming out but I didn't care. I ran back to my room locked the door and started looking for my phone while I rubbed my breast. It is painful !
Where is my phone?
I was crying and it made my eyes misty,making it difficult to see.
I looked for it frantically and I found it. my hands were shaking so bad that it took me three tries to look for Perez's number and I dialed it.
He took on the first ring. and I was relieved.
"Perez, pere...Perez," I tried saying.
"where the fuck are you, come home please I need you." I said between sobbs. And I hang up.
I lay on the floor as I wait for him to arrive.
