The car ride was silent. An awkward silence.

I kept getting glances from both Antonio and Marcello and I could tell they wanted to ask what had happened but they never did, probably knowing I wouldn't tell them.

We went into a couple of shops but never found a dress for me to wear. Mainly because I said I didn't like any. I did but I just wanted to spend as much time here as possible so I wouldn't have to speak to Lorenzo.

I think they boys caught on to what I was doing, "Liv I know what you're doing, you're wasting time. We get you don't want to speak to us about whatever went on back at the house but you're going to have to speak up eventually. The dinner is tomorrow night so we really need to get you a dress."

Dammit.

I sigh giving in and we walk to a different shop and a gorgeous royal blue dress caught my eye. It had a slit in the thigh about mid length. I point to it and they both nod telling me to try it on. I ask the lady if they had my size and she said there was one left.

Lucky or what?

I try it on and I love it. The colour compliments my naturally tanned skin perfectly. I change back into my normal clothes and hand the dress to Marcello and he buys it, "Do you want to buy some shoes to go with it or do you have some already?"

Knowing I have some black heels at the house which were Lacey's I shake my head.

We walk out of the shopping centre and head back to the car to head home.

It's safe to say I'm nervous because the only person I've told about my past was Lacey and she isn't here to reassure me that everything was going to be fine.

I really needed that right now.

We walk into the house and it's empty. That's a good thing maybe I can sleep and they'll forget.

"Lorenzo is doing work at the minute with Matteo, they'll be back soon so for now you can head up to your room." Antonio says to me and head out of the room to who knows where.

I run up to my room and close the door laying on my bed and I indeed fall asleep.

I hear someone walk into my room and sit next to me on my bed. They start stroking my cheek. This reminds me of him.

My eyes snap open and I see my worst nightmare. Joseph is sat there staring at me with a smirk on his face.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are Olivia?" Yes and it makes me feel sick.

I sit up and push myself back towards the headboard but wince when my back meets the cold fabric causing me to shudder.

The sound of his evil laugh sends shivers down my spine. He moves forward and grabs my neck tightly causing me to choke.

"Don't back away from me. You know what I want so you're going to listen to me very carefully. If not there's consequences. You and me both know you don't want that." Shit. No please this can't happen.
