Unforgettable

Chapter 5 I "My woman is hard to please then?"

I hate this. Waking up was bad enough already, remembering how yesterday ended. Then a bag with beautiful clothes surprised me, which I obviously didn't wear, knowing I'd spite the monster waiting for me downstairs. Then after mentally preparing myself in the shower, I made my way downstairs. There I spotted the luggage waiting by the door, knowing what it is for. Doing my best to ignore it, I wandered into the kitchen, finding some unknown faces.

Usually, it was Bella who greeted me with a smile, but I guess after yesterday, I wasn't trusted around her anymore. The only good thing about this situation was taken from me.

"Ms., breakfast is about to be served. Please take a seat in the dining hall." I was kindly told by one of the servants. I felt so out of place. Everyone knew who I was, yet I have never even seen their faces before. Then, to make it all worse, I soon had to deal with the devil again.

Heading inside the dining hall, I find myself alone in there. It was hard not to notice the beautiful bouquet of red roses laying on the table, next to a perfectly set seat. Since I was alone still, I pick it up, noticing how heavy it was. There must be at least 50 roses- those are damn expensive, seeing their quality. Still, I pick them up and enjoy their scent, it was heaven.

"You like them?" Somehow I manage not to flinch when he appears in the doorway. I don't spare him more than a swift glace before focusing on the roses again.

"They're beautiful." I answer truthfully.

"I asked if you like them." He tells me sternly and I look over to him again.

"No." I tell him, not willing to give him any satisfaction.

"My woman is hard to please then?" He teases me and I decide to play along.

"Yes. A few red roses won't impress me. Next time try to find them with gold rims." A ridiculous request, but given the ridiculous situation I was in, it worked for me.

"Noted." He simply states before making his way over to me, pulling out the chair for me to sit. He requested my company for breakfast and dinner. If that's what he wants, then he gets it. It's my choice how nice I am going to be.

"Where is your sister?" I shamelessly dig into the food before he even took a seat, not caring about manners here.

"She left last night." He informs me.

"She left?" I ask in surprise and disappointment. It seems unlike her to leave without a note. Before he answers, I specify. "Willingly?" this causes him to laugh.

"No." Obvious she didn't.

"How can you be so cold-hearted." I scoff, speaking more to myself than him.

"I fight for what I want and if sending my sister back to Italy so she doesn't help my woman escape is what needs to be done, then so be it." I hated his way of calling me his woman.

"Ever thought of finding a woman who doesn't hate you?" I mock him, taking another bite of my food.

"No, you're just perfect for me." He calmly states and if he wouldn't be the devil, I would have swooned right here and there. To bad he is made of pure evil. After that I stay quiet and just eat my breakfast. Without his presence, it would have been enjoyable, but like this, I just chocked everything down and then went ahead and stood up. I'm done with breakfast.

He doesn't say anything, so I go ahead to leave, but the second I wanna go through the door, two large men block my way. "Please, take a seat, Ms." One of them tells me with an Italian accent.

"No thank you. I already finished my food." I tell them. At my second attempt, they only make themselves bigger and block my view of the hall completely. "Are you serious with this?" I turn around and ask the devil.
