Peaceful. Thats how it felt. Quietness. Silence. Too much silence. It was weird. My body felt relaxed, almost like I was floating on a soft cloud.

It felt too good to be true. Almost like I was dreaming.

Almost like I was... dreaming?

I gasped, stirring from my slumber. Adjusting my eyes to the room I was in. I frowned as I tiredly sat up. This isnt my bed, and I know that because it feels heavingly soft. Something I know I cant afford.

My gaze shifted around the room I was in. This person sure loves the colour black.

The walls were painted black, the bed stand, the sheets, the cover, the closet, the drawers, couch, pillows, curtains.

I groaned, holding my head that felt like I was hit by a ball. It hadn't registered that I was probably hijacked by someone and in a stranger's room just yet.

After a few minutes of booting, the memories of what took place a few hours ago flashed in my head, letting out a loud gasp.

It was hazy. I didnt have a full grasp of what happened, clearly because I was drunk off my ass. Still, I know what I saw.

Dante was torturing a human being. Giovanni killed a human being right infront of me. I dont remember anything else, but I knew that took place.

I groaned as I tried to stand to my feet. My head was spinning, making me hold the bed for support.

I needed to get out of here.

With difficulty, I made my way to the door. I huffed in a shaky tone, opening the door quietly. Only to be met with a tall figure that made me scream.

I stared at the stranger that was dressed in a suit.

"You're awake". The tone of his voice only made my frown deepen even more.

"Clearly". I snapped back angrily, clearly frustrated.

"Where the hell I'm I? And why are you just standing outside like a damn creep?". I shouted at him, trying to ignore the goosebumps that rose on my skin. He looked like someone who would kill me if I moved too much.

"Boss's orders". I stared at him with a confused expression. What does he mean by that? Who the fuck is this 'boss' anyway?

"Who now? Sorry to burst your bubble but you need to tell your boss that I want to leave. Kidnapping isnt cool".

"I'm afraid I cant do that". My anger only increased.

"Which one, refusing to tell me who this mysterious kidnapper is or letting me go?"

"The second option. Concerning the identity of the boss, I assumed you would know who he was". He replied to me with a look of slight confusion.

"I woke up in a house I have no idea of. How the hell im I supposed to know?" I deadpanned, slightly irritated. I just needed to leave here. Reina and Luciana are probably thinking I've gone missing.

"But he called you his girlfriend". My eyes widened in shock. What is he on about?

"He called me his girlfriend? How creepy. First, you kidnap me and hide me in a room then claim I'm his-... " I paused mid sentence.

He called me his girlfriend. I dont have a boyfriend. Well.. technically I dont. Except the thing I have going on with...

No.

No, it cant be him.

My tongue was cut short. I didnt want to believe it was him. Probably because those scenes of him still flashed in my head. We havent even resolved from our conflict after he said those words to me.

No. I needed to know his name, just to be sure. If its who I think it is then I could finally find out what he really does.

"This boss of yours, it doesnt happen to be... Dante Brambille, right?". I hesitantly asked.

The man merely nodded at me and it felt like I was splashed with cold water.

Dante brought me here?

Why does he keep getting even more suspicious? And why the hell is he not letting me leave? First he's treats me like a bitch then holds me against my will.

How romantic.

Though, I could finally find out what he does for a living.

"I dont mean to pry, but what exactly does your boss do?" I needed to know. Desperately, because it feels like I'm losing my mind. Everything is happening so fast.

"That's not for me to say".

I nearly let out a loud groan at his reply. It was kind of expected but still, you never know.

Is he even in this house with me? Its awfully quiet. Not like I really want to see him, but I need answers.

"Can I atleast leave this room? I feel like I'm going to loose it if I stay for even a minute more". I complained because I would start tweaking if he says no.

"I'll have to come with you. I can't risk you escaping". I blantly rolled my eyes at him.

I'm being treated like a prisoner. What the heck does Dante do that requires a bodyguard at a room door?

"Be my guest, then". I rolled my eyes, walking past him.

Obviously, I didnt know my way so I followed the light at the end of the hallway.

It wouldnt harm to check what's downstairs right?

I slowly went down the stairs, annoyed by how the bodyguard was following me. Reaching the grand floor of this forsaken mansion, I frowned at the silence.

Wasnt there anyone in this house?

Did he leave me alone in this house?

"Is anyone even in this house?" I asked, even more irritated.

"He stepped out the minute he placed you on the bed".

I frowned. Just what exactly do you do? When did things get so bad and so quickly?

I sighed, slouching on the big couch. What I'm I supposed to do now? Reina is probably losing her marbles right now. If she found out about this, she would probably never speak to any of them again.

Sitting here was pointless. No ones home anyway. Might as well go back upstairs.

I stood up, stretching. My head hurts anyway, sleeping would do a whole lot for me right now.

Walking past the bodyguard, I reached the stairs. Climbing up, I heard the front door open behind me and I turned back as fast as it opened. Just when I thought things wouldnt get more complicated, it did.

It seems like my life was nothin but an bunch of surprises being thrown to my face every minute.

"Luciana?"

Okay, I am so sorry for the slow writing. The thing is, I didnt expect to ever reach 13k reads.

I honestly assumed this book was shit. I did it for the fun of it but I'm so grateful. I'm sorry for not updating quickly. I cant promise I will but I'll try cause thinking of what to write is kind of hard.

I'm more of a reader. Besides, I've been caught up on reading anime ffs and watching bungo stray dogs.
