Dangerous

Engagement party 2

VINCENT

"It's been three weeks." I say looking at Luca and Charlie with a cold stare and Luca answers "Yes but we're working on it."
"You are?" I snort and sit down in the chair again and pour myself a glass of whiskey.
"We just found out that their engagement party is today" Charlie says and I almost choke on my whiskey "Their what? How could we not have had this information earlier?"
"Calm down, we will storm Stephano's mansion tomorrow when they've let their guards down."
I just look at them before saying "Remember that I want to be the one to kill that bastard."
"Of course, boss." Luca says and they leave the room to let me think through the plan.
It's been three weeks since I saw Nicole last. Brad has told me that she's doing okay and that she's a good actor but what if she's not acting? I can't stop the thoughts and I hate them.
All I want right now is to have Nicole next to me and all I have to is to wait for one more day before she's mine again.

NICOLE

"Nicole. Open the damn door." Stephano's voice says from the other side of the locked door. I've lived here for three weeks now and tonight's the night for our engagement party.
I'm standing in the mirror watching the girl the stylist turned me into, I'm wearing a black formal dress with silver details, red lipstick and high heels. I'm not looking like myself.
"Nicole, I will break this fucking door down." Stephano's voice is more like a growl and I sigh as I walk to the door and unlock it.
"Next time, open the door after the first knock." He says and pulls a hand through his hair.
His eyes are scanning me from head to feet and I shift uncomfortably as his gaze stops at my chest to move to my eyes. "Good. Let's go."
Stephano is smirking as he puts an arm around my waist to pull me closer to him and I try to create some distance but his grip is firm and irremovable.
I can hear the sound of people chatting and music playing as we walk down the stairs.
When we walk into the room some of the people stops talking but Stephano doesn't stop walking until we reach a group of men.
They are wearing suits and their laughs sends shivers down my spine.
Stephano's grip around my waist is harder and the men turn to look at us.
I recognize one of them as the one who called me feisty the night when I punched Stephano.
"Gentlemen, this is my lovely wife to be, Miss Nicole Vintali."
Or Mrs. Nicole Giovanni I think to myself but I remain quiet with a strained smile on my lips.
"She's indeed lovely." The man who called me feisty says with a wink "I'm Ted." He looks like he's waiting for me to give him my hand, something I won't do.
"Still feisty, I see." Ted says and the men laugh and Stephano says "Would you like something to drink?"
The whole bar thanks I want to say but instead I give him a strained smile "I'll fix, after all I'm your wife."
Stephano looks surprised but he gives me a big smirk and lets go of my waist.

The evening passes by and when the last guests have left I walk towards my room when Stephano's voice is heard.
"Where are you going?"
"To sleep."
He chuckles and puts his arm around my waist "Tonight you'll join me." He's serious and there's an underlaying threat behind his words.
We walk to his room and when he's in the bathroom I quickly change into my nightgown and pull the blanket over me.
I want to fall asleep before he comes out from the bathroom, unfortunately I'm not asleep when I feel him slide in under the blanket.
Stephano puts an arm around me and pulls me closer to him. "You're really attractive Nicole." He murmurs in my ear and kisses my neck as he moves his hands over my torso, in under my nightgown and stops by my panties.
I tense and he smirks still kissing my neck "Stephano."
"I love when you say my name."
His hands wander up to my bare chest and I kick him away from me.
Roughly he turns me over so that I'm on my back and his gaze is filled with desire and lust, it scares me.
He leans down and I try to hit him but he grabs my hands and holds them against the mattress.
"Don't." Then his lips crash down on mine in a wet and forced kiss.
He's going to rape me I think and kick him but he doesn't seem to care at all, he's much stronger.
Stephano is about to take my panties off when there's a loud thud making him stop.
We hear men screaming, guns firing and people running.
"What the fuck" Stephano says and quickly put on clothes and says "Stay here." as he leaves.
I wipe away the tear that is rolling down my cheek and I realize that this is my chance to get out of here. I grab Stephano's suit jacket and open the door cautious.
No one is here and I make my way to the door when I hear familiar voices.

VINCENT
"Go go go." I say and my men storm Stephano's estate.
"Find her! And remember, find Stephano and bring him to me." I say but my men are already gone.
"Hello Boss." Brad says and I give him a nod.
"You've done a good job."
"Thank you."
I'm waiting in the living room with Brad as we hear men screaming and running.
Ten minutes later we see Luca and another man dragging a familiar man with them into the living room.
Stephano gives me a mocking grin as they drop him in front of me, he's on his knees.
"Stephano."
"Vincent."
"Where the fuck is she?" I ask and Stephano smirks. "At least I got to touch her."
The statement disturbs me but I don't let it show "Where is she? I repeat again.
Stephano doesn't answer and I pull out my gun.

NICOLE
I follow the familiar voices who comes from the living room. I see Stephano on his knees, a gun pointed at his forehead and Vincent is holding the gun.
I feel something vibrating in my pocket, Stephano's phone. Quickly I turn it off and turn on video. I can't stand these men anymore.
Vincent will probably kill me when he finds out but then it's already to late.
"Goodbye Stephano." Vincent says and Stephano falls to the floor with a thud.
I hold my scream in and run towards the door almost running straight into Charlie but he doesn't manage to catch me.
I hear him scream after me "Nicole! Wait, it's me, Charlie!" then he screams to Vincent "Vincent! She's running!" but I'm already out of the house and I slam the door behind me.
I hear footsteps but I don't look back until I reach the small town where I jump into a taxi.
"Police station!"
As the car drives away I see four men run into the town. Vincent's blue eyes are staring at me with confusion, hurt and anger.
If he's angry now I don't want to even think about how angry he will be when he finds out what I'm about to do.
