Wicked Games

Unapologetic

I awake in a sweat from a weird, vivid dream that I almost immediately forget.  I sit up and feel like I got an uppercut to the gut. I curse Gio's name as I climb out of the now empty bed. I throw on my sweats and top before I walk over to the table and grab my cell and the pizza box as I slide on my slip ons, I yawn trying to get the fog from my eyes and brain the best I can.

I check the time on my way inside, 3:03.

Jesus, what is life right now, and where the fuck is Giovanni.. Is this going to be what it's like? I make it the closed sliding door that leads into kitchen, I put the pizza box into the fridge and I begin my way towards the bedroom.

As I make it to the foyer I hear noises to my right, it sounds like it's coming from the foyer. Super confused I tip toe towards the cracked door, and to my luck I'm still quiet on my feet. I reach the door and peek through the crack to see nothing but I still hear what sounds to be papers being thrown around..

I poke a little to close and my forehead pushes the door open just a hair but enough to cause a quiet creek.. Suddenly the noise stops and I hear heavy footsteps coming fast towards the door.

' Fuck ' I think to myself. Unprepared the door swings open and I'm immediately struck in the face and it knocks me out cold. As I lay there the blood from my nose is pooling around the high point of my cheek that's laid on the cold marble floor.

I don't know how long I'm out for but I'm only awakened when I hear a thundering voice booming to my side as I feel hands grabbing me and pulling me onto their lap, it's Gio.

' Nova... Wake up.. Please Little fox.. Get up .. '

My eyes flutter a few times before I see light and Giovanni's spooked face. I sit up feeling the now dried blood that's tight and flaky as I go to stand up I'm wobbly, for a plethora of reasons..

I touch my nose and it's tender to the touch.

' Shiit.. '

I mumble loudly.

' What the fuck Gio.. '

He shakes his head in confusion as he stands up..

' You don't think I did this to you .. Do you? '

' Ugh.. I don't know. I don't know what the fuck is going on.. '

' Well I'll assume or would hope it wasn't you that fucked my study up
eh? '

I rub my forehead.

' Huh.. Of course not.. Why would I? '

He looks just as confused as I do.. I follow him into the study as he takes a look around before he makes a phone call.. In our native language, family.

Within the hour so about 8am the men in his family circle are there, I've cleaned myself up and I put on a cami dress.. My Beretta handy in the back of my waistline, I head to the kitchen as I start some breakfast and coffee.. My nose is broken I can feel it, the bruising under each eye has already started. Jfc is all that I can think.

I'm not hungry I just make a cup of coffee, expecting to leave when I start hearing the men come into the kitchen. I set coffee cups and the coffee in the center of the island along with plates and the food. 

It's Antonio, Ben, his brother Dario and his cousin Enzo.. The bastard. As soon as the men sit down I go to head out before I hear a growl.

' Girl! Come here.. '

I turn around already annoyed..

' Yes? '

I ask dryly as I take a few steps closer to Antonio..
