I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.
"You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly.
"Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who l...

My eyes squinted as I pried them open at the bright light falling onto them, wincing when a searing pain shot through the back of my head.
Groaning, I sat up in bed, my eyes widening in alarm when I felt a bandage around my head and looked around the unfamiliar room with wide eyes as everything came rushing back.
Giovanni.
As if one cue. the door to the room was unlocked and a woman walked in, smiling a bit when she saw me when I narrowed my eyes at her, remembering her clearly.
I know her.
"Gabriella." I said after a few moments, putting a name to her face after racking my brain when her smile widened.
"You remember me!" She beamed, walking towards me as I looked around the room for possible escape routes and all hope deflated when I saw a guard lock the room's door, another two behind him.
The window was sealed shut tightly, and there were only two other doors which I assumed lead to the bathroom and closet.
"Good morning, dear, how are you feeling?" She asked while I watched her movements cautiously.
"My head hurt's a bit."
"Why don't you go freshen up and take a shower before breakfast? You might feel better." She suggested.
I didn't have the energy in me to argue with her as I nodded and got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom, closing the door and locking it securely.
Running my hands through my hair in frustration, I winced when my hand brushed the back of my head where I had been hit as I looked around the marble bathroom.
Spotting the widow, I hurried over to it, trying to pry it open but it was jammed. I looked for something to break the glass but all I saw was a spare toothbrush and some toiletries, nothing that could be used for a possible escape.
I felt my chest constrict when I thought of Nico and I let a few tears make their way frown my face as I slumped against the counter, holding in the sobs that were threatening to break free as I splashed the cold water on my face.
I miss him so much.
Wiping my tears away, I quickly brushed my teeth and stepped under the hot shower after stripping, feeling the water ease my aching muscles and headache as I washed myself and then my hair.
Stepping out in a bath gown and towel on my head, Gabriella was still waiting for me and smiled when she saw me.
"Choose something to wear, why don't you?" She gestured towards the closet.
