Marco...

I slammed my fist on my desk and cursed under my breath. Kelly, where the fuck are you? I muttered to myself.

Kelly had been missing for a day now. I had no idea where she was and no one had seen or heard from her. The men who were ordered to protect her had disobeyed my orders and lifted the protection because Kelly told them that she didn't need protection. Fucking ridiculous!

I will deal with them later. Right now, I need to find Kelly.

I was about to leave my office when suddenly my phone rang.

"Hello," I said into the phone.

There was nothing but silence on the other end of the line.

"Who the fuck is this?" I asked, impatiently.

"You have a collect call from," I heard the operator say. Then I heard Kelly's voice and my eyes widened.

"Do you accept the charges?"

"Yes," I said, immediately.

"Marco, you have to get me out of here, please." I heard Kelly's weak voice begging me. "I was arrested, Marco. Someone tried to kill me in the parking lot when I was leaving work on Monday. I ran them over because they wouldn't get out of my way." She sobbed and sniffed.

I was so damn furious because I wasn't there to protect and keep her safe.

"I'm going to get you out, Kelly," I promised her. "Don't say another word, Bella, and don't say anything to any one of those cops." I quickly told her. "And you're moving in with me whether you want to or not," I added.

"Okay, Marco," She barely said. "Just please, hurry. I want to get the hell out of this jail cell." She mumbled.

"You're not going to spend another day in that hole," I told her, firmly. "I'm on my way, Kelly."

I hung up and grabbed my coat.

One day later.

"Kelly!" I called but she didn't answer me.

I saw her sitting on the floor in the bathroom smoking and drinking.

I grabbed the cigarette and glass from her hands.

She pulled her knees up to her chest and muffled a sob.

"Kelly, what the fuck are you doing?" I asked her, furiously, but she didn't say anything.

"Kelly, you don't smoke and you don't drink, and remember this is a nonsmoking room and bathroom." I reminded her.

She nodded and looked at me. "I'm so sorry." Her lip quivered and the tears fell from her eyes.

I felt so sorry for her. I clenched my jaw in anger because I was going to torture and kill the men whom I had ordered to protect her and they didn't.

"Get up off the floor." I assisted her and put her to sit on a nearby chair.

"Marco, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail and it was self-defense." She sobbed.

"No, Bella, you're not going anywhere. All the charges were dropped and I'm going to find out who tried to kill you in the parking lot that night." I kneeled next to her feet.
