Lol just kidding...
it's a week later

Mila

We were about ten hours away from home, and the hotel I was staying at allowed me to book under an alias, I had to convince them I was on the run and under witness protection and somehow it worked.

We've been away for about a week now, I had to shut off my phone and get a burner, I was starting to feel the guilt of my decision hit me ten times harder.

Leaving was hard on the kids, they didn't understand and I didn't know how to explain, I felt horrible for ripping them away from their father but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything bad ever happened to a hair on their heads.

I tightly shut my eyes as I turn over in the bed, going to sleep was a struggle, I couldn't fucking sleep when all I could think about was him.

Giovanni, how I fucking missed the big asshole, if you told me a few months ago that I fell in love with the man who kidnapped me and forced me into a marriage I would have laughed in your face and called you delusional.

But I fucking loved him more than words can explain, he was my family and I left him with no explanation.

I shake my head off my thoughts and try to fall asleep.

The kids haven't been to school since we left, they sit in the small living room of the hotel watching a cartoon as I finish up making their snack.

I heard a knock on the door and the sound alone startled me.

Calm down, nobody knows where you are.

I take a deep breath and make my way to the door checking the peephole before opening the door.

A man stood outside of the door, he had dark hair and dark eyes, and a chiseled jaw, he was very attractive, he flashed me a smile. "How can I help you?" I ask smiling at the man, he looks kind but at the same time, he looks intimidating.

"I'm sorry I think I have the wrong hotel," he says with a strong English accent might I add, "I have a few friends staying here and they told me they were on C12 but I guess they got the number wrong." He tells me and I smile at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that."

He shakes his head. "No worries darling, it was a blessing in disguise because I met such a beautiful lady, nice to meet you, I'm Blaine." He holds out a hand to me and I smile as I take it in mine.

I chuckle. "Well thank you, I'm Mila," I tell him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," he grips my hand softly slowly moving it towards his lips when two little heads pop up beside me.

"Well hi there," he smiles at my children, Cade wraps his arms around my leg as he looks at Blaine wearily, and Ia glares at him with her father's identical glare.

"My daddy is big and scary." She says.

His brows furrow. "Oh... is that right?" He asks as he rubs the back of his neck and she nods.

"He could crush you."

"Isa," I roll my eyes. "I'm sorry about that, ignore her."

"She's hilarious." He smiles.

"I wasn't joking." She crosses her arms.

"Isa!"

"What?" She frowns.

"Manners." I give her a look that says to cut it out and her shoulders slump.

"Fine..."

"You talk funny," Cade says.

"Cade be nice."

"Sorry."

"It's okay little guy, it's called an accent I talk differently because I'm not from here I'm from London." He smiles.

"You should go back." Isa mumbles and I hope he didn't hear that, I give her a slight glare and she walks back into the hotel and sits on the couch.

I sigh. "Well, it was nice meeting you Blaine, I hope you find your friends." I smile and he nods.

"A pleasure to meet you beautiful." He smiles as I shut the door.

"Seriously isa? What happened to your manners?" I say as I grab the plate of snacks and walk over to the couch placing it in front of them.

"I want to go home," she whines. "I don't like it here."

I frown at that and my heart sinks as I begin to feel bad. "I'm sorry but we can't right now," I say quickly.

"When?" She asks.

I shut my eyes and take a deep breath. "I don't know yet baby... soon." I lie.

"When is soon? I miss daddy!" She cries and my heart breaks as I watch her do so, her brother sits next to her and pulls her into his chest.

"It's okay Isa, we will go home soon, Mommy said so, you don't have to be sad." My eyes well up with tears and I quickly wipe them away before they can see.

"Come on guys, eat something."
