"Don't you get it? You know when you try to run away, punishment like this happens." he said teasingly, squeezing my chest. I gasped for air, I really didn't try to run away. They're overreacting!
The wet noise coming from below, being penetrated in...

Looking up from my computer, I see Astra dozing off while staring at the sky outside. Her head slightly swung back and forth slowly.
She suddenly stood up and headed toward the back to lay on the bed. It's still early for her, she needs some rest before we arrive.
I returned back to focusing on my work until I received a call from one of my men who is currently dealing with a situation in London.
"Everything ready?"
"Yes sir. Everything is ready." He confirmed, I hummed and hung up.
"They got everything ready." I alarmed my friend.
"Did they book the hotel for a week?" Victor asked.
"Yea. If not we'll just...uccidili"
(Kill them)
"Be careful saying that kind of stuff while she is still around." Roy warned.
"It's fine. She doesn't understand Italian." I sighed.
"Which hospital is the little kid at?" Arlen asked.
"The one Jack owns." Zack answered. Jack used to be our most trusted guard but he quit and decided to help those in need by building a hospital.
We helped him build his reputation and now is one of the most well known doctor throughout all Europe. __________
I gently place Astra into the car and cover her legs with a blanket. I didn't dare to wake her up when she slept so peacefully through the whole plane ride.
"Let's go." I said while closing the door as I got inside. I grabbed onto her hand for comfort, this place brings back a lot of bad memories.
But whatever is in the past is in the past. Now I have someone I love by my side, I will make amazing memories with her. And I will never regret making those memories.
"uhm.." Astra groaned while rubbing her eyes due to the sunlight being casted on her face through the window.
"Sleep." I said, her body eases at my command and soon falls asleep again. I pull down the blinds in the car helping her hide from the bright sunlight.
I gently rubbed the back of her hand until the car came to a halt in front of the white and gray building. The door beside me opened as I stepped out while carrying Astra in my arms.
Walking through the glass door, I stride toward the private room we have prepared beforehand. A room where a patient's guardian rests if they ever needed a place to stay overnight.
The guard opened the door as I stepped in and placed her gently on the bed.
"Is everything ready?" I asked Victor who was standing by the frame of the door while I lifted the blanket up to cover Astra's body.
