Chapter twelve  ~Living a Little~

Daniel observed me as I walked towards the back door, Damian was outside… dealing with the body, and I don’t know how I felt about that. I just got someone killed, this was entirely fault.

“Where do you think you are going?” he stepped in front of me, blocking the door.

“You clearly don’t give a shit Daniel, the guy had other people working for him, and these people will come after the people I love. I need to find them and give myself up” I told him.

He moved out of the way, letting me access the door, I looked at him but stepped forward towards the door.

“I get what you are doing; trying to be the hero… but this isn’t being the hero. This is being a martyr.” He commented “You don’t know what these people will do to you… they want your father at any cost, more than you can imagine. You think your father would have you kidnapped for no reason? These are bad people Aria.”

I tilted my head “Worse than you? Worse than your brother? Because I am pretty sure your brother just went outside to KILL someone. If you think that is normal behaviour then you are fucked in the head.”

“Hmm…” He squinted his face slightly “I would be… REALLY careful how you talk to me. I am not my brother… I really couldn’t give a crap about you or keeping you safe.”

“So why are you here then?!” I yelled at him “Because it looks to me that you are here for the same reasons your brothers are but you have too much pride to set aside your differences with your brothers… so you make it out like you are here with a different agenda. You make it out like you are here to make your brothers pay.”

He half smiled at me “You think you have it all figured out?” I stepped forward “I do.”

He gritted his teeth, anger clearly on his face; I backed away slightly from the look on his face.

“Go upstairs Aria” He ordered. I backed away from him and ran upstairs to my room. Is this seriously what my life has come to? Being held hostage by a hot guy and his psychopathic brother?

“I’m sorry about my brother” Damian apologised as he walked into the door.

I nodded. Damian walked over to me and sat down on my bed, I moved up slightly to make more room for him.

“My brother wants to take all his anger out on me, whatever he has planned is planned to hurt me.” He started “He seems to think I was the reason that the fire started in the first place.”

“Was it?”

Damian straightened his head “You think that low of me? That I would set fire to my own house to kill my brother and his girlfriend…?”

I sighed “I don’t know what to think about Damian, all I know is that you just killed someone out there…”

Damian took a deep breath “This is my job Aria… I have to keep you safe.” He looked at me with a look no one has ever looked at me with before, not even Roland; at that point I knew how I felt about him, how strong my feelings are. “This isn’t just a job for me anymore. I feel the need to keep you safe; I have to keep you safe Aria. If anything happened to you… If you went off with this guy today-“

I sat up and put my finger on his mouth stopping him talking “But I didn’t, I’m fine.”

“For now” He added “This was only one attempt, there are several more to come. People want your father dead, they want to draw him out and they know they can do that from you. They want his part of the business and a lot of other things that you don’t even know about yet.”
