I had a shower when I woke up before lying back on my bed and reading a book I had grabbed out of the library.

Suddenly my door opened making me look up at whoever walked in. Elias stood in his all black suit with his usual blank face, I raised my brow at him.

"Your going shopping." he said blandly.

I frowned at him and how he was acting.

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine," he said but I could tell it was a lie. I didn't press on the subject seeing that he looked stressed out enough.

"I almost got killed yesterday though?" I said questioning him.

"No one is going to hurt you today."

"But I have a mafia that wants my blood."

"I have a plan."

I frowned and his facial features softened slightly.

"Trust me," he said.

I hesitated before nodding, closing my book and standing up.

"I'll get dressed into something better first" I said walking to my closet.

I quickly undressed and re-dressed myself in a black long sleeve top and some black skinny jeans, going back out into my room I looked at Elias.

"In this plan of yours will I be running?"

"Its highly possible."

I sighed and nodded.

"Come on then."

"Andre will be taking you," he said as he started to walk out of my room, I followed him, catching up so I was beside him.

"You'll need this," he said holding out a gold card.

I took it from him with a frown.

"Don't go overboard with the money," he warned.

"I- i cant just spend your money." My mind was already flying with images of everything I've ever wanted and I didn't like that it was, because I had to borrow money.

He looked at me with a slight frown. "Please yourself for once. You don't have your asshole fiancé with you to stop you from getting the things you want, plus it will take your mind off of the Valentino's."

The frown stayed on my face.

"I guess so."

There was a pause before Elias spoke up. "There's a shop I always visit, its called Cassandra Bianco, mention my name to Cassandra and she'll pick out some clothes for you."

I nodded as we walked outside onto the top of the stairs, Andre was waiting next to a black Lamborghini in a black and white suit. I turned to Elias and bit my bottom lip as I looked at his beautiful green eyes that clashed with hazel.

"Thank you."

He looked down at his shoes, with his hands shoved in his pockets. I stood there waiting for him to say something but nothing fell off of his lips so I turned and walked to Andre.

He opened the door for me and I smiled at him as I got in, shutting the door for me he rounded the front of the car calling out something to Elias as he did before getting into the car.

"Ready?" He asked me as he put the keys into the ignition.

"Not really, but I hope this will be a story to tell my kids." I said feeling butterflies in my stomach.
