♥ Chapter Twenty Six ♥

   .............. OTTAVIANO..............

    I blink open from the deep hollow state of unconsciousness I was in. I needed to get to her. I tried to focus on any sound around me, but all I heard was my heart pumping blood goddamn loud in my ears.

  "Viano!" I heard my name being called in a distance. I tried to get my eyes to adjust to the lighting in the room before slightly turning my head to the source of the voice calling out to me.

    E's face came in my sight after my view had finally focused. All I needed now was to make sense of the words that sounded gibberish to me. I rapidly blinked trying to physically focus on what he was saying because it looked important. He looked panicked.

    "–se wake u-" E's voice finally made  some sense in my ears. I frowned at him because his words didn't fully make sense considering I was only able to catch half or maybe the last-ish part of it.

   "W-what?" I asked with a confused expression mirroring my inner thoughts.

   "Oh God! I'm glad you're awake." He further backed up his words with a sigh of relief and a pat on my head like I'm a fucking dog. Just great.

   "And?" I would have never recognized the raspy sound that barely made a difference in the rather quiet room, if my mouth remained shut. My voice had  me questioning the time and day because there's no way my voice could sound like this after passing out at the warehouse today.

   "What is i-it" I asked feeling my anxiety level up.

  "Please don't fucking pass out on me, your father will have my dick on a fucking platter" E says worriedly but with a stern voice. I would have snapped on him any other day but I really need to see this right now. Hopefully, this new found evidence will bring me closer to finding her after two fucking months.

  "Fine just show me" I say trying to convince him I won't lose grip on my emotions. Not promising shit though.

   "Okay. It's a video that was sent in earlier today" I frown at that, I guess E notices that because his sentence follows up with, " it's two  days after you passed out"

Fuck!

  I was two days behind.

"Don't even think about it. So I managed to grab the video before anyone knew about it, so I would say we have about 20 minutes before anyone comes in here"

I nod my head, hoping he'd hurry up and show me the goddamn video before I strangled him.

  "Okay I haven't seen it yet so I have no id–” E's voice is cut off by my rude groan

  " Just play the fucking video E! Geeze "

  " Okay okay! Damn" E rolls his overly grown eyes before connecting his phone to the TV screen in my room .

  The screen is dark before the sound of a man groaning in pleasure fills our ears. I turn to look at E wondering why the fuck he thought of putting on a fucking porn video at this moment.

  " S-stop..... P-lease" I froze at the sound of my sister's voice laced with so much unmistakable pain filling the room. I slowly turn my head in the direction of her voice and I almost throw up at the sight in front of me.

   The familiar eyes that looked up at me with so much light since birth, now stare at the camera – at me– with so much fear and pain that had me physically shaking. Her lip is busted, she spots a black left eye, and her nose is slightly bleeding. It takes me a few seconds to focus on what is going on in the video. The man groaning was the man I have been searching for like a fucking needles in grass for the last months, and the cause of his groans is the fragile bruised little princess on his bed asking to be let go of.

   But he doesn't stop, he continues to force himself on her, ignoring all her protests. He continues telling her how he loves her and can't wait for them to start a family like they earlier discussed. He explains to her why he has to do this and rules me responsible for her condition.

   "Your brother wants to separate us darling. I'm doing this to have him back up. If he doesn't stop, then this won't either, darling"

   I force my eyes to unglue from the screen as my body hunches sideways, making it easy for me to empty the little things I had in my stomach. My head throbs as the room starts spinning uncontrollably. E rushes towards me, making sure I'm back in a laying position before frantically looking through the drawers for my meds.

   I feel my chest closing in as I try to force air in. Black dots appear in my vision and the sounds slowly start fading

  "Ottav! " My sister's voice is the last thing I hear before everything goes black.

.......................\\ present //............

"Ria!!"

  I'm woken up by the lack of air circulating in my body. My mind shifting between the nightmare and reality, making it hard for me to focus on anything. My face is grabbed between two warm hands and surprisingly, my body calms down before I even see who it is. It's like my body knows exactly who's touch it is.

  "Ottaviano" My eyes snap at the big worried eyes staring at me. My chest tightens at the amount of worry and care that her eyes hold.

  " Hey focus on me okay? You're okay. Everything is okay. You're safe now okay love" Her voice whispers to me with so much comfort it has my panic subsiding.

   "O-okay" I mumble out to her and she rewards me with a smile. I try to smile at her, but I continue to hear my sister's call for help over and over again. I guess she notices this because she shakes her head at me.

"No no no. None of that." She says laying me back down on the soft surface.

  "I have to go" I say and she lightly hits the back of my head

  "It's still early. Now come on, get some rest"

   She also lays down besides me, making me snuggle up with her. I wrap my hands around her, burying my head in her neck. I take a sniff of her scent and I feel my body relax against her.

   "Gufetto?" I call her lowly

"Hmm" She says as she runs her fingers through my hair.

"Thank you"
