Verona Rosario (Book 5: A Mob Boss's daughter)

17. Emotions & Confessions

Verona was bracing herself to somehow get herself out of there. She hoped to escape if he got too far away. She noticed his footsteps going towards the window. 

She quickly got up from her hiding place and was about to sprint away but Crescenzio said as he was looking at the window "Don't run..."

Damn it. He had seen her in the window. Vienna knew she was in deep trouble. She stood motionless trying to decide quickly what to do.

Crescnezio put his hand on the glass window "You have no where to run... I know this place like the back my hand..."

Verona slowly started backing away and her back hit the desk. 

Crescenzio turned around as he was next to the window. Crescenzio's expression slightly softened as he laid eyes on her. He looked at her up and down "Damn... Aren't you gorgeous?"

His eyes terrified her. The intensity and determination in those haunting eyes scared her. 

Crescenzio started walking slowly towards her as he stated calmly "You  know, you shouldn't  have run when I saw you out there when the intermissom started.... I didnt mind having a talk with you over ice cream in public... But now look at you... Behind closed doors with no guards in sight..."

Verona started backing away from the desk and in the direction of the door.

Crescenzio started walking slowly to her "Verona. Verona... Tsk tsk.... What's the point of hiding and running from me?... My intentions towards you won't change no matter where you run and hide..."

Verona whispered as she was backing away "What do you want from me?"

Crescenzio stopped walking and leaned to a pillar in the room. He crossed his arms over his chest "That is a very good question... What do you think I want from you? I just want to talk... Why is talking to me so hard for you?"

Verona said as her back hit the wall "You want alot more than talking I bet..."

Crescenzio said ""Talk to me. Then feel free to leave... I wont hurt you Verona..."

Verona said "I have nothing to say...." She was trying to work out how fast she could run to the door that was a few meters away.

Crescenzio started walking towards her. "Oh I have plenty to say..."

Verona put her hands up "Dont come closer..." She then ran to the door and tried to open it but it didnt work. The door was locked. 

Crescenzio said "Save your efforts.... I wont let you leave... My family owns this place and I have master key... Come on Verona.... Ask yourself why you dont  want to be in the same room with me.... You give your time to anyone but not me" He carried approaching her.

Verona turned and looked at Crescenzio  "Ottavio wont like this..."

At the mention of Ottavio's name Crescenzio's eyes narrowed and a fire started burning inside them. A fire of jealousy. He closed the distance between them and banged his fist against the door above Verona's head making her jump "What will he do exactly? Nothing that he hasn't tried before. He thinks he can take you away... I won't let him... I will destroy him... I will end him. I hear he is now announcing it to everyone that you are together... You are officially going out with him it seems.. You deserve better ...."

Verona didnt know where he had heard the news but it was a good sign he had gotten the message. She said "If you know I am with him now, then let me go out of this room..."

Crescenzio said "We haven't finished talking... I get to decide when you leave..."

A voice came from behind him "You have finished talking... No one decides anything for my sister but herself..."
