Chapter 2

Mia
~~~
My eyes fluttered open and abruptly closed again as my head felt like it had been hit by a fat man with a hard object. Wait. I opened my eyes again and glanced around, I was in a room that I didn't recognise. It smelled of smoke and alcohol. Shit. This wasn't a dream. I had been hit by a fat man with what had felt like a truck.

I tried to move but winced as pain shot through my skull.

"Do I look like I give a fuck?!" I recognised the voice, it was my bitch ass kidnapper Dante. He glanced over at me and the dirty look on his face disappeared when he realised I was awake.
It was replaced by a menacing smile.
"Ah, I see you're awake."

"Yeah, well it's been fun but I think I should be headed home." I sat up slowly, my head throbbing.

Dante just stared at me, his face alone said 'good luck with that', I sighed, sinking back into the seat that I happened to be tied to. I glanced down, I was still wearing my work apron and I must've looked like shit. What the fuck was even happening right now?

"What am I doing here? I don't understand."

"How are you feeling?" Dante asked, watching me curiously.

"Seriously?" I stared at him in disbelief, "You kidnapped me and now we're making small talk?! Let me go you psychopath!"

That one seemed to get to him as that nasty glare returned to his face.
"Listen, ragazza, I'm being nice, hm? Don't ruin it."

I couldn't help myself. I scoffed.

"Nice?! Smashing me over the head and kidnapping me is your definition of nice?! Fuck you!"

Before I knew it, the criminal was off his seat across from me and infront of my face. He grabbed my chin and tilted my head up so I could watch the menacing look take over his face as he spoke.

"Okay, we tried nice, hm? You dare speak to me that way again and I will show you nice, ragazza stupida."

"Um, okay", I officially dropped the whole brave guy act. Who did I think I was? I'd just pissed off my kidnapper, I'd never leave now. He was probably planning ways to dispose of my body right now.

He turned and headed towards the black door at the side of the room, he nodded towards the only other person in the room, a tall beefy guy covered in tattoos in the corner of the room. I gulped just at the sight of him. He could probably rip me in half, literally. Maybe even with one hand. Or a pinky.

"Watch her, Alonzo."

I stared, dumbfounded as my kidnapper walked out of the room, leaving me and Beefy alone. Reality finally stared to kick in and my adrenaline shot sky high. I begun trying to wriggle my way out of the ropes. My legs flailed, I probably looked like a dying fish but it didn't matter right now.

"HELP! HELPPPP!"

I couldn't breathe. I started hyperventilating as
Beefy walked over towards me.

"AHHH. HES GOING TO KILL ME! HEEEEELP!" I wasn't even sure who I was yelling to. I was in a fucking basement, there was probably nobody even around.

I gasped as Beefy emptied a water bottle over my head.

'Silenzioso.'

Mkay. Time to shut up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd literally been sat shivering, cold and wet for about an hour. Beefy had fallen asleep on a chair in the corner, leaving me here to freeze to death or catch hypothermia.

"Pstt. Hey. Hey!"

Beefy didn't even stir and I wondered if my kidnapper was ever going to come back. I was actually starting to get a little bored just sat here. And I was craving Chinese. Mmmm.

Speak of the devil, Dante strolled in through the door and dragged his chair so he'd be sat right infront of me. He hadn't seemed to notice Beefy taking a power nap in the corner. Woah, I imagined what Andrew would say if he caught me sleeping on the job like that. I snapped back to reality when his highness decided to open his mouth.

"So, are you done being a bitch?" He asked.

I mustered up all the self control I had. Be nice Mia. You want to live. I nodded silently.
"I'm so very sorry for calling you a psychopath."

He raised an eyebrow at my clearly forced apology but ignored it, continuing.

"Anyway, I need to speak to you about your father."

At the mention of him my face clearly dropped. I hadn't spoken to him for years now. He'd been arrested a long time ago for some sort of fraud. I still wasn't sure exactly what he'd done but I didn't care. My Mom stopped me seeing him after his arrest and I never questioned it.

"Is this what this is about? Look I don't even know him. He's in prison and I haven't seen him since I was a kid. I don't know what else to tell you."

The bitch watched me carefully, did he have a built in lie detector or something? What was he doing?

"Well, bella, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, hm? But your father was uomo cattivo, a bad man. His disloyalty towards my father cannot be ignored. He-"

I cut him off. Probably a mistake, but I did it anyway.
"Look I honestly don't know what he even did. I don't want to be involved in his bullshit, I've had nothing to do with him for so long and I don't plan to start now. So if you'd please untie me I have school in the morning and Mrs Sanchez will lose if I don't hand in my assignment, which speaking of it I haven't even finished. Gosh I honestly should go work on that it-"

"Figlio Di putanna! Shut the fuck up!" His loud voice made me shake in my work shoes, shit, my nervous rambling was seriously going to be the death of me.

"You think I have time to listen to your stupid fucking stories, hm? Listen puta, daddy's not here to pay for the disrespect he has shown my family. He was a mole, working with our enemies, that's one of the highest levels of disloyalty there is. And sure, I could be done with this by just killing him, but I've found a way of dealing with this that would be of more use to me."

"But that's where you come in, hm?"
He moved closer to me his fingers brushed my still slightly damp hair out of my face and stroked my face, making me shiver.

"I don't get it" I said, what exactly did he want me to do?

"You're going to do the family a little favour", his signature menacing smirk spread across his pretty tanned face, his pearly whites shining.

I gulped. This couldn't be good.
