golden skin that held a natural glow.golden green eyes that wake with joy and sleep with tears within them.golden locks that fell around her like a veil.a golden colored dress hugged her body like a second skin.men always stared at her everywhere she stepped foot in.we knew she had been cursed with beauty from the simple age of seven yet she didn't become a threat until the age of eleven.she's golden.she's gold in the eyes of men.but to me,in my eyes she's... my little baby sister.
"I don't like their states Adri." Phoenix whispered.Her vibrant orbs seemed dimmed.Her small body was slacked and looked ready to curl into a ball like she does when she sleeps between Alessandro and I every night.It annoyed Sandro because her knees would always dig into his spine but I knew deep in his heart he can't sleep if she isn't beside him.The poverty we lived in forced us to share a little room and a small mattress but Sandro and I worked our heads off so one day our angel lays upon a mattress big enough for a princess.
"I know you don't princess but you have all the control over them.If they touch you in places you don't want, you hurt them like I taught you to." I whisper sitting myself down next to her and pushing behind the golden strands of her hair.She was the replication of my brother and I.No ounce of my mother or father was in her which I was grateful for because her true father is Alessandro.He raised her.
"Why can't some other girl do this? I should be sleeping ready to go back to school not this.Some pretty girl can do this." Phoenix whined slightly.I quickly shushed her not wanting Sandro to overhear us.I had more patience when it came to Phoenix.I understood she had dreams and wanted nothing but to be on the streets with her friends having innocent fun instead of this but Alessandro prohibits it.He claimed he didn't want to lose his prized possession to the streets so that one day Phoenix comes home with a belly like the rest of her friends.No,he wanted Phoenix for other things.Like killing.
"Because no one else is cursed with beauty like you." I whispered planting a kiss on the top of her head.The sadness in her eyes pained me but she was doomed from the start.She has the beauty of a godess at the simple age of thirteen...it was almost painful to imagine how she would look in a few more years.

" he's your flesh and blood.are you capable of hurting him? " Noah asked me.His big hands rested on my stomach while both our cheeks touched as we looked up at my uncle's beautiful mansion.It was a beautiful home but it wasn't my home.This place is the place where my body would get bruised every night under his hand while my cousins screamed in fear of my life and my uncle was off in Brazil working for us.Home was not here.
"No." I confess lowering my gaze down to the front door,"I love him a lot but he's hurt me and I feel anger...hatred in my heart when I think of him.When I see him I expect to see all the reasons I've grown to hate him when I look into his eyes."
"What if your love overshadows that hatred?" Noah gently asks me.His nose nuzzles into my neck and I realize that worrying so much about Adriano made me forget that I once more have the greatest love of my life with me.He's mine again.That pain he caused me a week ago was numb for now and I was taking full advantage of that numbing feel.
"No...this pain isn't something that can be ignored.Nothing's going to stop me from leaving this house tonight with you." I whisper a smile finding itself on my face.Who knew that at sixteen I would be moving out my uncle's house to go live with my soul mate because Noah was much more than my boyfriend...he's my soul.
"You won't regret this baby. I promise." Noah whispered kissing my sweet spot but before he could do much more I turned around to face him.I pulled down the mask over his face that only exposed his eyes and mouth.I felt the coldness of his gun touching the exposed skin of my stomach.I expected him to place it in the waistband of his pants but instead he reaches behind me to place in my waistband.
