When we got back to the house the first thing I heard was my boy barking.

I was the first one to the door, opening it up as Bruce wagged his tail jumping a little, excited that I was back home. I bend down and pet him, "Hey, buddy." I said and kiss his face, scratching behind his ear.

He licked my face a couple times bitting me gently out of excitement, "Wanna go play? Huh, you wanna go play?" I ask him before standing up and calling him, "Come on brucey." I pat my leg and runs toward me so I can take him out back.

While I was outside with Bruce, petting him and playing with him. I heard someone clear their throat. I turn and see Massimo. I turn back around and throw the frisbee for Bruce again, "Yeah?" I ask

"I'm getting her tonight." Massimo said. I knew who he meant. The only woman he's talked about more than anyone in the past 5 years. The woman's portrait is hanging on the wall.

But I didn't want him to know I knew who, "Get who?" I ask watching Bruce run back over with the frisbee in his mouth. "Laura." He said, I close my eyes and lick my lips, "Why are you telling me?" I ask, my back still to him.

I lean down and grab the frisbee from Bruce's mouth, "Cause she'll be here in the morning. I thought you'd want to get to know her, become friends." He tells me.

Become friends? Are you serious right now? Why would I want to be friends with the girl who my husband is obsessed with. The girl that the guy I love is obsessed with. God, why is so fucking stupid at times.

I sigh, "I'm good." I tell him. And walk inside but he grabs my arm making Bruce growl a little, "Did he just growl at me?" Massimo asked, I shrug, "You have your men to protect you, and I have mine."

"Just try to get along with her. She's going to be part of our life." Massimo said, "No. Part of your life. If and when she does fall in love with you like you want, you'll marry her and divorce me, and she'll have your heir. I'll be leaving when that happens." I tell him and walk back inside with Bruce following.

When she gets here I will meet her but I'm not gonna like her. I give her a day before she's head over heels for Massimo. I'm not going to become friends with my husband's potential future wife and baby momma. Absolutely not.

Massimo

I've been looking for this girl for 5 years and I've finally got her. It was the next morning. Well, it was noon. I walk into the room where she was. She finally woke up. She was looking at the portrait of herself.

"Are you lost, baby girl?" I ask she turns around, "You..." she can't finish her sentence before she collapses into my arms.

I put her in the chair and pour myself some whiskey and sip it waiting for her to wake back up.

After a few minutes she starts to wake up and I put the whiskey down grabbing a piece of ice from the cup and kneel down in front of her and hold the ice cube to her mouth, "suck it." I tell her

She opened her mouth and I push the ice in, "you had a bad reaction to the sedative. I didn't know you have a heart problem." I say and drag my thumb over her bottom lip.

She looks at me and spits the ice out at me, "Suck it yourself." I stand up and walk away. "Why am I here? Who the fuck are you? And why are you keeping me here?" She glares at me, "Answer me." She stand and walks towards me.

"Sit down, I don't want you to faint again." I tell her, "Answer me." She damands and pushes me. "Sit down." I demand grabbing her wrist

"I'm not your property." She tells me and fights with me as I push her backwards to the chair "Sit the fuck down." I push her into the chair, "Do you want to know why you're here or not?" I ask as she glared at me.

I pick up the whiskey "I think you should have a drink." I extend the drink towards her but she looks away. I walk away to the fire place
"What I'm about to tell you is so incredible that I...I wouldn't have believed it's true until I saw you at the airport." I tell her

"In that moment, I understood that... it wasn't only my imagination. Five years ago, my whole life was changed. My father died in front of my eyes. A bullet pierced his heart and hit me. I thought I would die too. My heart stopped and I saw you. Every day, I had this in front of my eyes. I was looking for you around the world."

"Somewhere inside me there was certainty that one day you would stand in front of me and be mine." I tell her she looks at me and her eyes down to my hand

"Are you married?" She asked, I clench my jaw. I probably shouldn't taken the ring off, "Are you kidding me? 1, nobody owns me. I'm not an object. 2, maybe you should be more loyal to your wife." She tells me

"Even if you weren't married, you can't have me just like that; kidnap me and think I'm all yours." She added, "I know. That's why I'm giving you a chance to talk inlove with me. Not because I made you do it, because you will want to." I tell her stepping forward.

"But I have a boyfriend who is going to look for me. I have family and friends. I've got my own life.
I don't need a chance for love from you! So, I kindly ask you to let me the fuck out!"

I look at her and then walk over and grab a folder with picture of her so called boyfriend fucking other woman.

She opens the folders and looks at the pictures, "Your boyfriend doesn't deserve you. My people have taken your stuff from the room. And left a note for Martin.
It says that you are going back to Poland, moving out, dissapearing from his life." I tell her

She stands from the chair, "You know what? Fuck off." She tries to run but I sit up and grab her and pin her to the chair I was in.

"I will do nothing without your permission." I tell her cupping her boob through her shirt, "I'll wait until you want me" I slide me hand down and grab her waist, "you desire me, and come to me yourself. I won't tie you up. But don't provoke me I can't be gentle." I stand up

"You have 365 days. I will do anything so you can fall in love with me. If next year, on your birthday, nothing changes, I'll set you free." I tell her.

She looks at me and gets up and tried to run again. I run after her and grab her pinning her to the wall. She reaches down and grabs my gun from my pants, which impressed me.

"Okay. Now you Put down the gun. Or this will stop being funny."

She keeps the gun pointed at me. I grab the gun and pin her to the wall again, "Do you really want to kill me? Many have tried. It's not that easy." I tell her

"Massimo." I hear Anastasia voice, "let her go." She says

I look at her. She, for some reason, is the only one who can give me orders and I won't do anything to her.

I let her go and Anastasia walks over and hits my shoulder, "Сука" she glares at me and then looked at Laura and moves her blond hair from her face, "I'm Anastasia." She smiles but anyone can tell it's forced. (Сука=Bitch)

Laura looks at me, then Anastasia then glanced at the door, "I wouldn't do it. If Massimo doesn't catch you, someone else will. Plus there's a big dog in here and he doesn't like people he doesn't know." Anastasia tell her

Her and that damn dog.

"Besides, it will just be me and you in here, Massimo's leaving." Anastasia says and look at me

"You have to go sign for a delivery." She tells me in Russian, "You know you can sign for it too."  I tell her, "I know and I was but then I saw the way you were being with her and I didn't like it. So you have to sign for it." She says in Russian and smiles

I let out a breath and walk away leaving the two alone.
