Stolen And Shattered Dreams

chapter 6

Ever since the kiss we do our best to stay out of each others way but that's harder than ever .
We are returning to Paris today and its already as awkward as it could get .
I just wonder if I'll be returning to the cell and how long I'm going to be kept there .

"Get your stuff ", he says
I turn to face him and he is already dressed in a black jean and brown leather jacket .
I quickly squeeze through the black shirt and zip it up and then I put on the white blouse and blazer .
I leave my hair untied and put on the black heels .
I walk downstairs and all the bags are already in the car ,he stands next to my mom having a conversation while waiting for .

" I'm done",I say interrupting their talk .
He looks up at me and then tells my mother a couple of goodbyes .
I pull my mom into a great big hug and kiss her on the cheek .
"I'll be back soon just tell Thomas and Ashley that I'm sorry I couldn't wait till they came back to sy goodbye."

She nods and walks us  out the door .
Once in the car we drive back in silence and then we get to the same private jet .
We sit in silence and tension builds  .
"Can I ask you a question ?", I decide to say .
His body tenses up and then he nods.
" Why did you kiss the way you did ?"
There's silence in the air and then he says.
"Because I wanted and I could ."

"Why do you think that you could have everything you ever wanted even when its not yours to have ", I say with an edge in my voice.

" I'm in the mafia as a matter of fact I'm the mafia leader so like I said there are very little things that people can do to stop me from getting what I want "

I can't believe that all he has to say for himself .I look at the bring ring on my finger and decide that this whole façade is over so I should take it off .
I slip it off and slid it towards him.
"I don't need it anymore"

He says nothing but this angers me more then it should so I say .
"I don't get it ,you kidnap me and the kiss me and I still do t know why I'm here "

"Get over it ,Scarlet" ,he pushes the ring back and says " Were taking a detour so to Germany I have some business to handle and you might want to put that back on "

I snort,"Why should I ,can't I go as anyone else but you fiancée.
Your sister ,your cousin or something ."

"Unless you speak French ,Greek ,Dutch , Swedish and Portuguese then you can go as my sister or cousin other than that ,no .We are newly weds to the rest of the mafia society  "

"I didn't pack enough clothes ", I try to excuse myself from going .

"That's already sorted . You can't get out of this now .",he says taking out a file and handing it to me . " That is your new ID and credentials. Your name is Rosa Bertus and I'm  Angelo Tornare .
Mafia families are large and aren't always happy about outsiders coming into the group so I suggest you blend in with rest of us or risk getting killed.  Read that file and  know the info ,you have two days until the party ."

"Why me ?",I ask defeated .

" Why not you "

~•~•~•~
When we get off the plane I'm instructed to leave my suitcase in the jet and  there's a placard with a  MRS AND MR . Tornare .
I can't help but feel powerless.
We reach the hotel and its a honeymoon suite which makes things even more awkward than they already are between me and Antonio. There's red candles lit all around the room ,rose petals from the door leading to the bed and then there's a batch of roses in a vase .
There's a card on the bed and then a new set of suit cases next to bed and then there's a red heart shaped couch next it .
Its breath taking and beautiful, if only it were real .

I take of my shoes and feel the jet lag begin to take its toll on my body .
Antonio starts blowing out the candles in the room and takes off his jacket .
I go into the bathroom and more rose petals are on the floor .
I rinse my face with water and wipe it with a towel .
I fetch the suit case from the other room and walk into the bathroom and shut the door .
I hope for the best this time as I open it .
But to my disappointment it looks even worse than before ,I scream in frustration and then quickly press my hand over my lips as realise that Antonio might have heard me .
I continue searching ,and searching and then seconds later there's a knock on the door .

"What's wrong ,I heard you scream", he says from the other side .

" Nothing I -I . Antonio I need pyjamas ,there's nothing to wear in here "

"I'll bring you something ,give me a sec "

I let out a sigh of relief .

He opens the door slowly and peeps through and then hands me his trek pants and a top .
"Thanks ", I say
When I'm done dressing I walk out and see Antonio pulling on a new white crisp shirt and buttoning it up .
I take the card on the bed an put it on the nightstand.
I sweep the roses off the bed and throw them in the dustbin .
Once the bed is clear I inside the bed .And drift of to sleep

~•~•~
I'm woken up by the sound of mumbling and then a glass breaks .
I look around and the door is open and Antonio walks in stumbling and almost knocking over a couple of things.
I run toward him quickly help him and close the door.
" What's happening ?",I ask but I mentally curse myself because I know what's happening I can clearly smell the alcohol off him .
I put him in the chair and look at him in frustration.
I look at the wall clock and its ;03:45am .
I could run ,he wouldn't even notice but where do I run to ,I'm alone in a country I have never been in before.
I look at him again this time my heart thinks I should stay and take care of him despite the wrongs he's done to me and maybe he might let me go .

"You know Scarlet, I want to tell you why I took you ", he mumbles .
I want to hear this but tomorrow he won't remember and will probably deny it and it won't be worth it .
" Its okay Antonio ,we'll talk about this later . You're drunk "
I try to pull him to his feet but his heavy .
I pull his jack off and hang it on the coat hanger and take his shoes off .
I attempt again to get him to the bed and by the time I do its ;05:37am .
I'm tired as hell but dawn will be soon enough so I might as well stay awake .
I take a bath and slip into a white jean and a nude top and blazer with white heels. As much as I would love something simpler there is nothing but these fancy clothes .
At ;07:08am Antonio is still out ,hell probably have a hang over when he wakes .
After ordering breakfast and watching television he still hasn't woken up .
I tell room service to bring lemon water and carrot juice for Antonio to help his hang over and then some breakfast with it.
When its all dropped off  I'm faced with a new challenge and that's getting him to wake up .

I go his bedside and shake him a bit ," Antonio ",I shake a couple of times .
But he doesn't break so I shake even harder but not too hard and he wakes up startled .
" What's wrong ?",is the first thing he says .
"Nothing ,breakfast is here and I told them to bring you something the hangover"
He nods and then it all comes back to him and he presses his index fingers to the sides of his head .
He takes a shower while I watch more television .When he steps out of the should with nothing but a towel he around his waist and says "What's this ",pointing at the orange looking drink .
" Carrot juice " ,I say looking at his care cheat and then I realise that I'm staring at him so  I look at the floor.
"It helps for hangovers"
He starts the drinking it and then stops and says "It tastes horrible", with a scrutiny face .
I laugh at his expression and he joins me .
When I finally catch my breath I say ," That's the point "
