A girl full of love

Chapter 1: You what?...

(Elias's POV)

I entered the building, tall and dark, I strode over to the gate and opened it. my eyes lit up; a young girl covered in scars. I shook my head, one thing about the mafia... 'don't let fear be your enemy but let it be your friend.' The glare in the girl's eyes, the hatred she had towards us. "I suppose you know why you're here right?" I walked over to the table of weapons. "Now unless you don't want to see daylight then you should start talking" I said with a scowl.

I had little to no remorse about what I was about to do. "Now a little birdie told me all about the little show you put on for my guards, in which I'm sad I didn't get to see, I'm sure you can understand my pain and sorrow." I put on a fake pouty face. "Now unless you speak right this instant, I guess I will just have to let's see... hmm what can I do to you?" I scratched my head. "Cam any ideas?" He smiled but shook his head.

"No, unfortunately not boss." he said with a small pause. "Yikes, my favourite part of the job, deciding what your punishment is." I grabbed the knife but kept it down. For some reason I felt anxious, I had done this a million times and yet my body tensed up at the sight of doing it. "Now what were you doing near my base? Hm? You're pretty you know but not pretty enough that I will not and cannot hurt you." I couldn't, I don't know why or how I just couldn't. The only thing that came out of her mouth shocked me. "SURE, GO KILL ME, MR I'M SO RUTHLESS AND I'M THE BEST IN TOWN!!" she screamed, I'm sure the other prisoners waiting for their fate could hear her. "Uh huh is that so? You think I'm ruthless and that I am quote on quote 'the best in town' ?" I chuckled. "Wait what, no? I was exaggerating, I'm sure you would understand." She scoffed, hell it was so funny. Not as funny as when Cam started laughing. I gave him a hard glare and he stopped.

She paused only realising what she had said. "I will give you credits for that, you know. I don't think anyone has had the guts to tell me that, isn't that right Cam?" even he paused. "Is anyone going to answer me, or do I have to force something out your mouth too?" I was getting angrier by the minute. "DO I?" I finally snapped. Only this time the girl flinched When I moved near her. Now I knew why I couldn't do it. I could finally realise what was going on, all this time she was only scared, not because of me but because of someone else. "Who did this to you? these scars you have seem very new, seeing that there's still marks." The fire in her eyes said everything, I could see her heart slowly shatter. "I will find out and when I do it's not going to end well." I furrowed my eyebrow for a split second.

"You're free, if I catch you again, I promise I will not let you go, and I will see to it myself."  I grabbed the knife, only for her to flinch again. "Woah woah woah, I'm not gonna actually hurt you, Yet." I cut the chains off her wrists and opened the cell door. "My guards are at the door waiting to escort you oh and don't fear, I know where you live, I WILL find you in the blink of an eye." "Go before I change my mind" As soon as I finished my sentence, she had already bolted to my guards.

I turned around and smiled, not seeing Cam pacing up towards me. "Ci hanno trovato! Sai quanto è grave questa cosa! Ci hanno trovato, e tutto a causa di cosa? UNO lascia andare, ovviamente, questo..."("They found us! Do you know how serious this is! They found us, all because of what? ONE let go of course, this-") He was fuming but before he could finish his sentence I cut him off. "SCUSA, PENSI CHE SIA COLPA MIA?" ("EXCUSE ME, YOU THINK IT'S MY FAULT?")

It was 3 hours later, me and Cam had continued to argue for a while before we secured the bases with my guards and dogs surrounding. I had gone home and well... attempted to sleep, but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get that girl out of my head. My thoughts repeated OVER and OVER. "Who did this to you, these scars you have seem very new seeing that there are still marks." "You're free if I catch you again, I promise I won't let you go." It all repeated, I was stuck in a time loop. As I got up, I changed into my usual suit and a tie. I may have had no sleep but I guess I can pretend it's a new day I suppose? I called Cam and ordered a car to my door as I got in. I asked to be delivered to the building.

As I got in the car I called up the receptionist and told her to arrange the board meeting to prepare for what I had planned next. I was going to find her, I AM going to find her and when I do she's never going 'home.' The rest of the guards arrived in the building where I was already standing. "Ok I sent you the details of the plan, you only take her and leave everyone else behind while I sort out her parents." We rushed towards the cars going in 4 or 6 cars which we all sped off to her house. Luckily Cam managed to slip the address somehow. The plan was for my guards to surround the house stealthy while I went in the front door.

I walked over to the house as I glanced through the window, only to see a little girl covered in scars and bruises."How could people be so selfish and so nasty to such innocent people?" I said under my breath before slowly knocking, no answer. I knock again and again and again and again. Eventually I got fed up and stormed in. I wish I had never seen what I had seen, 2 guards standing before me looked over my shoulder. I nodded towards them as they rushed over to the little girl passed out on the floor covered in scars and blood. I nodded again, signalling for them to put her in the car while I stormed up the staircase to where the dad and the girl were, there was a belt in his hand and the girl crying and screaming. The belt nearly hit the girl before I grab it and I look at the man she calls her father. "YOU SICK BASTARD,GET AWAY FROM HER NOW!, YOU KNOW, I HOPE YOU KNOW WHO I AM BECAUSE I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE." I grab the girl quickly and carry her bridal style down the staircase and into the car. Once I sit down, she grabs onto me tightly like her life depends on it and places her head on my lap while she falls asleep. All I wanted to do at that moment was tuck her small strand of hair behind her ear while she lay peacefully, finally at rest from that monster of a parent.

My guards drove to the hospital as I picked her up trying my best not to disturb her sleep as a guard carried the little girl, rushing towards the reception, where I paid for the best nurse. It cost millions but really it was worth every penny, just to have them seen first. "Tell me they're going to be okay doctor, I need good news." My mind went into turmoil. I don't even know her name. I haven't even had the chance to get to know her. All I knew was she's been abused and that's why she's scared, that's why she hates people. I sat by her for hours and hours, dismissing every call, every text, anything that would keep me away from her. I grabbed her hand, knowing she's going to get better, I held it tightly, trying my best to comfort her. I didn't even know this girl but I felt like I needed to keep her safe.

I sat there, the monitor beeping at every second, not how I wanted to spend my days rotting in a hospital trying to save a girl I had just met.
