His Little One✔️

18. Caught in the act.

I hastily switched my phone off while biting my lip. Marcello would undoubtedly be furious with me, I knew it.

There was no doubt that this was not a favourable situation, and I would have to make a decision quickly if I were to accept the choice Marcello's mother presented to me.

Since Marcello's mother had advised me to avoid him, I may have erred greatly in my attempt to do so. One for which I had a feeling that he might be enraged. This was all too overwhelming for me.

My Marcello was going to-no, he wouldn't, and I had trust that he wouldn't either, especially after I had given him a second chance at life.

He had previously stated that he would never allow anyone to harm his treasure, that included himself. I fell head over heels in love with Marcello because of his affinity with words, lips and other area's of his body.

This made me blushed as I remembered everything.

I had never missed a call from or text from my boyfriend for this long. Since our last communication, which was at most seven hours ago, I've been driving myself insane and have been frantically wishing to phone him and let him know that I'm well.

He always wanted to make sure I was secure, so even when he knew I wouldn't be hurt, he always preferred it when I was near him. I suppose all he wanted was to have me around whenever I was free.

I was able to elude his men who were pursuing me after feigning going to the market. In addition, I was able to make reservations at a motel a few miles away and switch off my phone.

I was doing everything I could to resist picking up my phone and dialling his number because I needed to keep as far away from him as possible and I knew that if he somehow knew where I was, he would come searching for me right away.

The fact that Marcello would still be able to find me if I stayed in this motel made it clear that I needed to decide immediately. Given how simple it was for him to locate a necklace, I had every reason to believe that doing the same for a person would be equally straightforward.

I just terribly missed him throughout all of this. I wiped my face after having noticed that tears were streaming down my face. My first love, Marcello, was someone I missed terribly. The one I had a crush on.

In light of everything, I've come to the conclusion that it would have been wiser for me to remain at home and act as if nothing had happened, even though it would have been challenging given that his men would have already informed him that his mother had visited.

I would then have to make up a lie to cover everything, and lying to Marcello was simply not easy given that he can read you like an open book.

I thought about turning my phone on and making a call to Selene. Although it was easy to see that both options would produce better outcomes, making the choice was challenging because it required me to pick between my career over the person I love most in the world apart from god and my parents.

In an effort to distract myself, I turned on the television, but when I saw a scene in which a woman committed murder, I quickly turned the device off. Unfortunately, that was the future I was thinking about with Marcello, and it was a sight that was terrifying to witness.

I desperately wanted to hear my parents voice, If only my parents knew about my predicament, they would definitely give me advice on what to do, but I'm sure that counsel wouldn't entail sticking with Marcello.

Marcello would be a villain to them and taking the fully paid college fund would be great. I got up and left my room to call my parents on the payphone I noticed nearby.
