Devil May Cry

Chapter One

I'm sitting against a pole with my back to it. The floor is wet and cold. I saw him standing in the doorframe from the corner of my eye. He was staring at me, so I stared direct back, challenging him. "Do you know where you are?" he whispered.

"You look very immaculate." I sarcastically told him, ignoring his question completely.

I knew he would get annoyed, because he looked like the serious kind. God I hate when guys stand like that with their arms crossed. He came over to me directly, took ahold of me and picked me up, I sighed. He choked me. My eyes rolled back to the back of my head. He let go of me, having me fall to the floor. I let out a deep breath. "I'd rather have you make me roll my eyes in bed." He rolled his eyes at me and sighed.

"Where were you last night?" he demanded.

"Look Mr whoever you are, mind your own business," I snapped at him. I was about to leave when I felt a hand grab my elbow.

"I'm not done talking Zoe, you do not get to speak to me in that tone" he told me in a threatening voice. I tried loosening his grip and pushing him off me. This is a nightmare. Standing so close to him, I could feel his sweat on my skin.

"How do you know my name?" I asked carefully not to piss him off. At first I wasn't feeling scared at all, but now I'm terrified.

"And you would like to know miss Delcaro?" he asked in an amused voice.

"Yes, or I wouldn't have asked, and don't use my last name, I don't like it from your mouth" I said.

This guy needs to understand not to mess with me.

"I went clubbing with some of my friends, I don't get why this is any of your concern, leave me alone you asshole." I answered him aggressively. "Who the hell are you!" I yelled in his face, I was getting tired of this sick game.

"Your worst nightmare baby." He whispered with a smirk on his face. He let go of my arm that he was holding very tight, and left the room. Asshole. Now I'm going to have bruises on my arm. As soon as he closed the door, I tried to find a way out of here. There must be a window or some other door that I can escape from. I looked around the room. The room was very dusky and dark. The only light here was the little bit of sunlight coming from the tiny window as big as my hand. There was a bed placed in the corner. The other corner was full of boxes. I wondered what was in them. I went to check inside of them, and found guns, lot of guns, in every box. Perfect. Wait why would they be placing boxes of guns in their hostages' room. Suspicious huh. I checked the gun for any bullets, but they were empty, all of them. I accidently broke one. I gave up and went straight to the bed since I had very sore muscles. Every inch of my body was hurt, as I tried lying down carefully. As I was lying down on the bed, I heard people talking on the other side of the door. Guards perhaps. I closed my eyes for what felt like a couple of minutes before I heard someone opening the door and stepping into the room. "Thought I should bring you some food sweetheart."

"Wow thank you," I said with the biggest fake smile I've ever given to anyone before. "Hey since I'll be staying here for a while, you might as well tell me your name, since I told you mine. I think that'll be fair." I complained.

"Well technically you didn't tell me your name, I already knew it Zoe. I'm Jesse." He told me. Oh my god, just as I thought my day couldn't get any worse.

"You're Jesse Romano? As in the Romano? Owner of several empires worth fortune? The man who is the cause of several deaths in this world? The mafia boss?" I muttered. So many questions flooding through my mind. I gulped in nervousness, this man is one of the most powerful men on earth, and most attractive I must say. "W-What do you want Jesse?" I asked in a frightening voice, I tried really hard to come out as confident, but that didn't work. Way to go Zoe.

"Well you know your brother Aston, of course, he hasn't been a good underboss to me lately, so I would just like to punish him, just a little." He explained.

"So you think by having me locked up in here, you're going to punish him?"

"Pretty much." He simply replied. Looking directly into my chocolate brown eyes.

"Well pretty boy, that's where you're wrong, because Aston doesn't give one single fuck about my well being." I assured. He sat on the bed leaned in to whisper something but instead he kissed my cheek. I quickly reacted and pushed him away. "Don't touch me Jesse." I demanded. "Please just let me go." I begged, I started bursting out in tears, trying to convince him to let me go, I just wanted to get out of here and be in my bed at home. "Please." I cried out.

"You're a good actor, I like that love." He said, giving me a crooked smile. I spat on his face in anger. He grabbed my throat choking me really hard, making sure to mark my neck. "Do that again and I'll have to take you right here on this bed, right now." He threatened.

"Let go of me you monster!" I had trouble getting out of his grip. I slapped him right on the cheek without thinking, regretting it as soon as I did it. I gasped in shock. He gave me the slap back harder, so much for equality.

"Your brother will be here in a few minutes, get dressed or don't, I could use some fresh meat." He said licking his lips. Reaching for my face.

"Don't you dare touch me Romano." I slapped his hand away.

"Don't worry Zoe, I'm a man you can trust."
