The man stopped breathing before he stopped begging. Vito Scaletta didn't watch the end. He stepped away from the warehouse floor, shrugging into his coat as if nothing had happened. Fear was a tool. Once it was spent, it was useless. Outside, the night was sharp with rain. "The Cardinis want confirmation," Vincent said as he fell into step beside him. "The marriage. They're pressing." Vito exhaled slowly. "I don't need a wife." "It would solidify the banks. The docks." "I said no." Vincent hesitated. "She's been raised out of it. Sheltered." Vito stopped walking. Sheltered meant fragile. Fragile meant weakness. "I won't chain myself to someone else's liability," Vito said coldly. "I won't take responsibility for a woman who doesn't understand this world."

As the car pulled away, the city stretched endlessly ahead-dark, obedient, his. Somewhere within it lived a woman he had no interest in meeting. And that, Vito Scaletta would later realize, was the first lie he ever told himself.

She knew no matter where she will go he will always find her. His dark promises never left her but it was enough to fuel her desire for escape.

*CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING* There she was shaking her hips side to side as if she was putting on a private show for him. He stood there staring at her intently as if she was the most exquisite thing he'd ever seen. But the poor little girl was oblivious to his stares, she was too engrossed in her little world.

He would soon capture his little Kitten.

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble." I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker.
