A Deadly Desire

CHAPTER TWO - A New Face

It began to rain, it got colder and colder, her pain cut deeper. She stopped and sat on a bus bench; tears filled her eyes all her emotions she kept inside empty out. He sobs were hidden behind her hair as she held her temples with her hands and looked down at the floor...

She felt watched like someone was watching her and then it went black, Nicole struggled to breath and tried to scream but couldn't, she tried to be set free, but the force was to strong and she gave up... she couldn't fight it anymore...

3 Hours later.

Nicole slowly opened up her eye's her neck hurt from where it hung. Her hands tied to a wooden chair... the wooden chair... She wanted to cry out, but she knew where she was. The little drops that splashed upon the floor were like loud screams, the silence petrified her. The rope piercing through her baby soft skin.

''I gave you 10 minutes... 10 MINUTES NICOLE!'' His shout shook the room, her hands shuddering like crazy.

''I... I ran into some trouble father... I-it won't happen again...'' Her voice was full of fear, but she didn't want to admit it. A laugh escaped her fathers' mouth. He stepped closer and placed both of his hands either side of the chair.

''Hmmm maybe we need to teach you a lesson... then we can sort out the business.'' His evil smirk spread across his face. At the corner of her eye she could she Crystal with her hands on her hips next to her 'bodyguard'.

''What business! I told y-'' Nicole was cut off by a slap at the side of her face, it went numb her face tingled and she shut up.. She didn't want to cry... but she needed to. Her father looked over at his men and gave a slight nod his back towards Nicole.

''Please no... please... I'm begging you... no...'' Nicole screams could be heard through out the corridor... nobody cared... not one person.

1 Hour later

Nicole came out the bathroom in a towel and faced her wardrobe mirror that stood there. She hovered her hand over her neck... then to her face...then to the top of her chest... she sighed, and a tear fled from her blue eye.

''I can't take this anymore...'' She looked at her bag that was set at the end of her bed... Run... She got changed and packed her stuff and hid it under her bed. Nicole waited till it went quiet and the mansion was on lockdown, that was the only chance she had. She knew all the blind spots to the house. On the way to running out the front door a photo of her mother was set behind all of Crystals, she took the photo and ran. This was the only way...

2:30AM

Nicole had been wondering the streets for 2 hours and finally settled down on a park bench... She felt her phone vibrate in her ripped jean pocket.

''Shit!'' Before throwing it into the lake she got her father's credit card out and put it in her bag. She launched the phone into the water watching it go off one last time. Nicole walked 3 hours to the nearest airport and booked a flight to Italy. She felt free... She felt relaxed for the very first time in her life.

''Hello, how may I help you today?'' A woman at the desk spoke to her.

''I need a flight to Italy?'' Nicole face was covered with makeup and her skin was to. She handed over the card.

''I'm sorry miss but we only book online.'' Nicole's face turned to rage.

''No! I want a flight now!'' Her sharp tone spread across the airport like a wave.

''I'm sorry miss but I will have to call security, if needed.'' The woman was afraid more than Nicole.

A tall shadow appeared beside her, she looked up and it was him the guy from earlier, he cleaned up well Nicole thought to herself. His devilish smirk scanning Nicole up and down.

''Mr. Santino.'' The women's face blushed as she talked to him her fake flirtatious voice directed at him. A sudden irritation built up inside Nicole, wanting to smack her right there and then.

''One jet to Italy.'' His husky voice then followed on by a gaze with his soft brown eyes.

''How many tickets?'' Nicole was on the edge of hitting her but kept her calm and instead rolled her eyes.

''Two.'' Nicole hesitated.

''Name?'' Nicole was in shit now.

''Nina.'' She said quietly. His eyes went cold, and he turned away. They made their way down to the jet in silence not one word was spoken. His jet was silver, leather interior to fit the wealth and the tv was massive. Nicole had never travelled abroad before, she was always on low key because of her father. Nicole knew that Mr. Santino knew her real name, he gazed over and their eye's locked, she felt butterflies in her stomach... She cut the gaze short and stared out the window, the view was breath taking the sense of freedom filled her heart with passion that she knew what she wanted ever since the start and she finally has it.

''Why?'' The word why was looping around her head like The London Eye. Nicole looked over at him with a slight unsure smile.

''Why what?'' He said finally looking back at her.

''Why bring me with you? ... You don't know who I am... I don't even know you!'' Nicole had to say it, her opinion was no longer used against her or twisted.

''That's were your wrong, I know exactly who you are Nicole.'' A deep shiver crawled up Nicole's body like a thousand bolts, her heart began to race.

''H- How?'' She stuttered and crossed her arms not knowing what to do.

''Nicole Perez daughter of Rob Perez, no mother, 18 Years old, criminal record, underage drinking and smoking, want me to go on Miss. Perez.'' His emotionless words splurged out; it was like a bullet to her chest just went off. Nicole had confusion written all over her face.

''What are you going to to with me Carter Santino?'' Nicole did her research the face she saw that very night had mystery written all over it. He gave a little laugh and sighed.

''You will work for me Nicole, your father double crossed me and I'm going to use you. For the record it's Mr. Santino.'' His cockiness was somewhat entertaining to Nicole whereas her attitude what the spark to his flame. Nicole laughed and then stopped after he raised an eyebrow.

''Your serious! Use me!? I'm not a fucking toy you don't own me you never will, CARTER!'' Nicole voice grew louder and more sarcastic, she got up and walked over to his chair.
