Under the stars

Chapter 20

He was so naturally beautiful and everything about him reminded me of Santiago. Judging by the others and speech I was assuming that this was the infamous boss who was eager to meet me. I watched as he gingerly removed his mask and I kept my eyes trained on him during the whole process. When he did take the mask off I took a double take. He was 100% related to Santiago which was quite funny because of how different they actually looked but something about him tells me that they are brothers. For what it was worth he was quite good looking and looked like the more chill brother in the duo and looked much less stuck-ep so I never pegged him for the kidnapping type but I guess people prove you wrong everyday and I of all people have learnt that the hard way. I looked down for the third time today and noticed the ballet outfit and the absurdity of it. If he was a ugly and old sicko I would not care less but his age and looks changes a lot.

"Well well well, the little diamond I have been waiting for for ages is finally here, it seems like Santiago stole himself a good one. Such a shame he is too greedy for his own good". "You're not a professional kidnapper right?" He looked embarrassed by my question so he just disregarded it and cleared his throat then continued playing the cold kidnapper facade. "I am quite experienced if I do says so myself and since you are the person in the cell and I hold the key and the power typically you would not be the one to comment".

I had to actually resist the eye roll because in all fairness he was right but something about him just did not click as a kidnapper and I hate to say it but I was more attracted to him then I was sad which is just sad for him. "That's true both something about you just does not fit the whole serial killer vibe". I don't know where this sudden burst of confidence was coming from but I was vibing with it. "So let me guess, you kidnapped me in spite of Santiago and are planning to use me as some sort of leverage".

"Seems like he picked a smart and funny one too". "So for real I am so that we are passed all that kidnapper shit and I hate to break it to you but Santiago does not give a damn about me and couldn't care less what happened to me so I am just a lost charity case and essentially a waste of your tiny and money. Our marriage was purely a deal and I was a fellow pawn and player in the game so kidnapping me will prove useless, You will either learn from me or learn the hard way it is entirely up to you". He looked confused then slightly pained. "So you and I are not all that different then".

"Well when you break it down I suppose not but I have no idea what happened to you so yeah". "Overtime you will learn but for now I am sure you are very uncomfortable with that pure excuse of an outfit. Your arrival was not entirely planned so you will be confined to the guest room and remember I am showing you a great deal of trust by letting you out of the cells to enjoy the comfort of one of their bedrooms and that is purely from the mercy of my heart. Don't make me regret it.".

I thought about escaping but I was not exactly pleased with my life at Santiago's house. There will be all the rules and regulations to follow so I thought that even for a short while I could enjoy the comfort of this guy's house and he is somewhat right so far he has only shown me a certain display of kindness and mercy. "Come on, what are you thinking? It is almost like I can see the wires clicking from the outside.

I swear if you are creating an escape plan when I find you, you will be as good as dead rather you will wish you were dead but that is a luxury you will not get". I contemplated lying but it has never gotten me that far so I told the blatant honest truth which is so ironic and funny when you break it down. "Just thinking that I should enjoy this place while I can. It really does look like an amazing place to stay". "I hope you know that this is not a temporary arrangement, this is final and nobody is going to be your prince charming and rescue you under my watch so don't even count on it unless you want to be rescued because in that case I am more than content with you staying down here".
