Guns And Roses(Complete)

Chapter 5

Stella

I was quiet the whole ride to his house, I was fully aware of the situation but at the same time I wasn't. I feared this man in a way that made me want him, and I don't why. I just felt safe with him. After he led me into the house, which by the way, was huge, and beautiful, he led me to a room which I presumed was a guest room.

"Go wait in the bathroom, I'll be right back with some stuff" he said to me while I studied the room carefully. I did as he said and walked into a nice bathroom,  I could live in the bathroom, it might as well be a room. I leaned on the counter as he stepped in with a big first aid kit from what I could see.

"Do you want me to help?" he asked. I said nothing, just nodded. I wanted to scream when he began, my injuries burned when he cleaned them. Some things required stitches, in which some tears were shed. But the pain was nothing compared to what I experienced with Vladimir. 

Soon he gave me my privacy and I changed into another pair of clothes Josie gave me. I walked out, Dante was leaning against the wall near the bed. "You don't mind a few questions do you?" he asked. I shook my head, and he gestured me towards a seat on the corner of the room.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked. He looked up at me, green eyes burning with an unsettled fire. "Our fathers had a treaty, and were close a long time ago, I wanna respect that" he answered. I nodded, "So, what happened?" he asked.

I knew what he was talking about without him having to ask directly. "It happened when I was younger, he attacked us in the middle of the night. It looked like they knew the in's and out's of our land. So it was someone from the inside, anyway, I escaped but my parents didn't. His men killed ours, and I was left with nothing. I left to California, with my Aunt Mia, the one you met at the apartment" I said, the memory filling me with sadness.

"You say "he" like you know who it is?" Dante asked. "I was the heir to everything, the money, land, business. My fathers brother, Javier. Well, he never liked that, he always hated me for it. He was banished from our family when he was caught releasing information. You can put the pieces together" I answered.

I shivered at the memory, the blood, gunfire, seeing my parents dead body on a floor. A bruise that couldn't heal.

Before he could say something, his phone rang and he answered. 

Dante

"What is it? I'm in the middle of something" I asked. "Dante, it's Vladimir, the car he was in was attacked and he got out" Jay rushed out. I clenched my fist, "On my way" I said as I hung up.

I turned to face Stella, "Listen, there's something I got to take care of. Will you be fine here?" I asked. She looked the other way and nodded, "We'll talk more when I come back, let the maids know if you need anything" I said, as I ran out the door,
