Stolen And Shattered Dreams

chapter 13

Scarlet 's P . O . V

I wake up looking at the clock and i go take a shower and get into a blue short dress with ravens printed on it

The dress

When  I was done I finished packing other things and zipped my bags .
Antonio came in wearing a black long sleeved shirt and jeans . He took my bags and we headed to the car and then we drove off to the airport.
The ride was silent I sat there nervous about last night and hoped that he wouldn't ask me about it .

"Where are we going ?", I said breaking the silence .

" Let's call your welcoming party "

"Antonio ...about last night..."

"I don't have time this ,I really couldn't care less "

I kept quite the whole trip even in the plane and the I dozed  off.

***
"Wake up ,Scarlet ", I was shaken awake .

I opened my eyes and its was already evening outside I stepped out and we headed to the car .
I was still tried a bite and sleep still hung in the eyes .
After a few minutes we pulled up at a nice looking mansion ,the walls were white ,it had a large garden but I couldn't really see in the night .

" Welcome", a gentleman at the door said helping us with our bags said .
When we walked in I was mesmerized ,it was amazing and it was breathtaking.

"Let me show you to your room"

I snapped out of the trance I was in .
I couldn't help hoping that I wouldn't sleep in the same room as Antonio ,I don't think I could live through it ....again.

We entered a room beautifully decorated with grey wallpaper that was elegant and simple ,the bed was neatly made with red and black cushions and cover ,a black carpet rested in the centre of the room and a table and chair were placed at the corner of the room next another door ,probably the bathroom .

The door was closed and I realised that Antonio was still in the room with his bags ,subconsciously my shoulders sagged a bit in disappointed.
I put my bags on the floor and headed to the bathroom and then I wash my face and decided to grab my toiletry bag to brushed my teeth when I was done I reentered the room and Antonio was seated on the bed going through his phone .

"There's  dinner at seven hurry up ", he said not even glancing in my direction and then he took his bags and headed out the room .I almost jumped on the bed in elation .
Time alone ...yes !

I looked at the clock at it was 18:25 pm.

I went inside to take a shower and then I decided to iron my hair and pick a dress for the dinner .
Although it took forever when I was done my curly hair was now straight and I applied minimum make up .
I slipped into a white dress that had nice blue flowers on it with a pair of black heels .

I was beginning to get nervous a little as I waited for Antonio .
What would they think but besides that I barely wanted to be here ,this was never what I wanted and now I'm going to introduced to other mafia members .
I have a tattoo that clearly states that I'm one of them ,but am I really .

" Come on ",Antonio said leading  me out of my room .
As we walked down the stairs I was even more nervous and I began shaking under Antonio's touch as I balanced myself against the railing and for a second I stooped for second and Antonio stared at me .

" I can't ...I ...Antonio ",I said choking words out and I could feel tears stinging my eyes .

I felt like my lungs were closing and I couldn't breath ,I was struggling to breath and tightened my hold on Antonio .
