Ashley's pov:

My legs were giving up on me, the energy and strength I had left faded a long time ago. I haven't eaten for a day or probably two.

Aliba, pazzo whoever he is, hasn't come to check up on me.

They have kept me locked up in here all alone, and I can't help but think that the walls are slowly coming closer together..help! It seems like I've started to hallucinate.

The door creaked open, and Aliba walked in.

He was full of himself, busy fixing his collar and the watch on his wrist. I must say, he had a great body frame, but every time I saw him, I wished I could fracture all of his bones. I wonder how his jawline looks, I can't see it since he has covered it with the fake beard.

"Hello bells", he said, looking all jolly and stuff.
"Hello Alabama",I replied
"It's Aliba not Alabama", he said with a frown
"Really? I think I like Alabama better",I shrugged
"If you call me that I will...."
"Kill me?",I cutted in, "-well you haven't killed me yet so I will take that as a bluff",I added.

He chuckled as he came near me. He brushed his knuckles against my cheek, "you know, you shouldn't think that just because you are still alive I won't kill you", he paused, "-I'm different from Ace bells. There's a reason why they call me Pazzo", he gave me a devilish smile.

Wait! He knows Ace?

"Am I here because of him? Ace?",I asked.
"I don't know, are you?",he asked back.
"Well I don't care, all I know is that if you can't even show your god damn face, you won't have the balls to kill me", I said sternly.

He stood upright, "Anucha", he yelled out.
A guy dressed in full black clothes walked in, "Boss?", he said, with his head faced down and arms folded

"What do I do when people underestimate me?", Aliba asked, but his eyes were locked in with mine.
"You prove a point boss", the man who is apparently Anucha said.
"And how do I prove a point?",Aliba asked
"You kill", the man said

In just a span of three seconds, Aliba took out a gun, and shot the guy three times.

I screamed at the sound of gunshots, tears flowing uncontrollably down my face, blood quickly filled the room.

"One bullet on the leg, one on the chest, and the other straight in the skull", Aliba paused, "-I managed to do that without even looking at my target", he said

Saying that I was scared is an understatement, because I was horrified

"Why would you do that?", I asked, my tone laced with a bit of anger, and lots of fear
"To prove a point",he said, "-you see Ace might have made you feel like a queen in his house, but here you are an actual captive Bells. Now let me make one thing clear...you are not dead because I still want to torture you, I want to torture Ace. Now, you would be making yourself a huge favour by shutting up like a good girl or else by the end of the day, you will be alone in this room surrounded with dead corpses", he said.

As he said that, every inch of my body kept trembling, shaking. I don't know what Pazzo means, but now I certainly know it's a name everyone should be terrified of.

Suddenly the phone rang, Aliba's phone.

"Hey buddy", he said, "-I see you have managed to contact me. Honestly speaking, I never doubted you", he added

He stopped speaking, and I'm guessing the person on the other side was speaking, which caused Aliba to stop talking.

"She is my captive now. I'm finishing the job that you failed to do", Aliba said

Job? What job? Was he talking to Ace?

"Ace", I yelled out.
"Speak later buddy", Aliba hung up

And then.... smack!, Aliba slapped me.
One slap, it took only one slap for my soul to leave my body.

"Listen here bells", he said, his eyes burning with fury as he pulled my chin roughly, "-when I talk, no one dares to interrupt me. Get it!", he yelled

I quickly nodded so that he could release me from the painful grab.

"Good! Now we wait for your soldiers", he said

---------------------------

Ace's pov:

My mind has been running around in what seems like circles. When I spoke to Aliba earlier, I heard Ashley's voice. She sounded terrified.
What if...
No, she can't be dead. Aliba wouldn't be that stupid.

"Are you okay?",Marie asked
"He has Ashley, how can I be okay?",I replied, my tone laced with worry.
"Aliba is dangerous, but he wouldn't hurt Ashley because he wouldn't want to hurt you",Marie said.
"Who is this Aliba guy you guys keep talking about?",Lea suddenly said.
"The guy who has Ashley?",Cruise answered
"What does he want with Ashley?",Lea asked.
"Will you keep on asking questions or will you shut up until we reach our final destination?",I asked, slowly losing my patience
"Hey! Ashley is my...", she was about to finish but I cutted in
"-best friend...yeah I know. You have said that a couple of times since we boarded the plane, I'm even thinking of making it a ringtone", I rolled my eyes.
"Listen here..!",as Lea was about to state, Marie intervened
"Please! We all want the same thing here. We want Ashley to come back unharmed, but the only way to achieve that is to work together not work against each other",Marie said

Lea shut her mouth. Thank God!
Then she gave me a deadly stare.
Ouuu I'm scared🥱

We reached the house, where I knew for sure Aliba had kept Ashley.

"Woah!",Claws exclaimed as he stepped out of the car.
"-is this the White House?",Lea asked.
Marie quietly chuckled at her statement
"White house in Italy? Really? Thought you were smarter than that, chatterbox",I said as I rolled my eyes
"Did you just..."
"-call you you a chatterbox? Yep! Do you blame me?", I cutted her in
"Arghh I hope they kill you once you step inside the yard", she said
"Owww look at you and I wanting the same thing. Except, I don't want them to kill you once you step in the yard, I want them to kill you now",I said.
"You..", Lea was about to say
"...stop it. Now I'm the one who wants to be killed due to y'alls bickering", Cruise intervened

Finally Lea kept quiet, and my gaze shifted to the house that was now infront of me

It's still the same, same painting om the walls, no renovations, the grass is still the same colour....I sigh

Home

Whewwww!!!

Anyways you guys are hurting me....because you ain't commenting😭😭😭😭whyyyyy???

Now I'm not even sure whether I should continue doing the discussions or not..

But it's fine...let discuss anyways..

•Aliba slapped Ashley, such a bummer...do you think Ashley deserved it though?
•i personally like the silly argument between Ace and Lea, what about you guys?
