PLEASE DROP YOUR COMMENTS HERE MY LOVES XXX ——

Arabella's POV

I wake up to the sound of a car revving at a high speed.

I bring my hands to my eyes rubbing them, and itching them open, expecting to still be in that black SUV with my kidnappers, but instead I'm in Leo's Bugatti.

What?

I glance over to the drivers seat, I don't think he's noticed I'm awake yet. I'll keep it that way for a few seconds, I need time to register all this.

I'm so confused, like what even happened while I was passed out?

I admire the man next to me, and to be honest, he's a whole lot hotter now that he's saved me too. His eyes focused on the road he seems to be relaxed with one hand on the steering wheel.

I notice that there's blood on his shirt, I don't know what from but it's coming from his shoulder.

"Leo?" I break the silence wanting to cry from how happy I am to even be seeing him right now.

His head turns to me and a small smile appears on his face, he moves a hand onto my thigh, before moving his attention back to the road.

"Your safe now Kitten." Warmth floods through my body at his words.

"Thank you." I put one of my hands on top of his.

My eyes flicker down at our hands I can't help but get butterflies every time we touch.

"So, w-what happened?" I ask timidly, a part of me not even wanting to know.

He visibly swallows, "long story short, we chased your car down and saved you." I nod.

"Now where are we going?" I ask.

He squeezes my thigh a little, "we are going to the safe house, our house isn't safe to be at right now."

I won't argue with that, I want to go home so bad but I know that we have Leonardo's men turning on him too much lately.

"So where is Willow." His expression goes cold at my words, guilt floods over me.

She's dead.

"I did what was best." He sugar coats what really happened, but I'm not stupid I know.

I just nod my head a peer out the window.

"You okay?" He asks I can tell his glance is on me but I ignore it.

"Yeah." I respond, I'm not really okay, but I'm physically fine Right now.

"You're not, what did they fucking do to you?" He asks kind of aggressively, but I know he doesn't mean to come off aggressive at all.

I gulp, I don't really feel like talking about it right now.

"L-Leo, could we you know. Maybe talk about the later?" I stumble I don't want to anger him, he's already frustrated.

"Alright." He doesn't fight me and for that I'm grateful.
