SECRET DOVE

CHAPTER 2

LIA
----------

I woke up feeling relieved of all the stress and my muscles seemed to be relaxed. I am sleeping on a bed with such a soft mattress and fluffy pillows.
The room is quite dark, and smells weird. It has this strong scent, but quite pleasant.

I lay on the bed lazy to get up because of the softness my experience is cut short after the door opens up revealing a tall well built man, with tattoos covering his arms like sleeves on his left hand. He has this masculine physic that i cannot explain,but he is such a pleasant sight. He nears the bed and sits right next to me on the stool besides the nightstand and looks me dead in the eyes.

His eyes are beautiful. They have this amazing story that seem to yearn for a listener. They are grey in colour and also have this bluish tone to them. What was god thinking about when he was creating this men in his mixing bowl.

"How are you feeling?" he asked snapping me out of my thoughts. His voice is so deep, raspy in a way of saying that he feels sleepy or just tired.

"I-i'm good thanks and you?" I mentally face palm myself, i just embarrassed myself infront of this beautiful man.

he smirks, "I'm okay too love, thanks for asking." HE HAS FREAKING DIMPLES!! OMG i am losing it. Come to think of it i am too relaxed for a person who has been abused her whole life and just got kidnapped.

my conscious decides to pay me a visit

He called us Love. He totally wants us.

Totally, we are not delulu.

Don't let him think we are crazy okay and DON't embarrass me Lia.

sheesh okay miss queen.

"You hungry?" he asks getting up to leave.

"Not really i-

my tummy grumbles literally on que. He looks at me in a neutral way.

"Right..." He responds before leaving the room.

Was i too weird? Is he single? he literally seems like a book boyfriend.

I think i will just go back to sleep now.

RICARDO
----------

She seems to calm for a person who just got kidnapped. She isn't that small in size, but she doesn't eat well. When they arrived she was still sleeping so i picked her up and carried her to my room. She is heavy but in a nice way, her neck and arms have bruises on them. I want to examine them but i cannot touch her without consent.

She asked me how i was. Been a while since i heard that from a stranger.

"Ricardo  Romano is smiling!" Dante gasps and places his hand on his chest dramatically.

"I think it's because of that beauty in his room." Bella joins in on his madness.

"Last time i checked, you two are in my house and i can kick you out at any time." without hesitating they run back to their rooms.

Now that i think about it, i was busy smiling to myself. Once i return her back to her family then i won't be dealing with this madness.

I told the cook to prepare lunch for Lia since i believe she last ate yesterday before being abducted. I dial Angelo's number and it rings twice before he picks up.

__________

"si Fratello?" (Yes brother)

"Ottieni tutto quello che puoi su americani e tedeschi." (Get everything you can on the Americans and germans.)

"Cosa c'è che non va?" (What's wrong?)

"Sembra che abbiano abusato di lei." (It seems like they've been abusing her)

"Quindi cosa hai intenzione di fare?" (so what are you planning on doing?)

"Uccidendoli questo è certo." I laugh to my self. (killing them that's for sure)

"OK"

"Saluta la mia bambina da parte mia." I tell him smiling. (Say hi to my bambina for me)

"Non è ancora nata, ma è già amata." Angelo chuckles. (She hasn't been born yet, but she is already loved)

"Ci sentiamo presto, fratello" (Talk soon brother)
__________

I cut the call and go back upstairs. I find her sleeping, spread out on the bed. Seems to be enjoying the comfort.

I quickly take a shower, then changed into some clean clothes and go to the guestroom nextdoor. I let the darkness take over me.
