"Silenzio" he said.
I was breathing heavier than normal and my eyes gave away the fear inside.
"Il mio dolce, will say this once and once only, what did you hear?!" He breathes against my neck.
I suck in a deep breath as his Italian accent does things to my body that it shouldn't.
"I-i heard a scream and I-I heard you shouting at her, then it all went silent" I barely whisper.
"Can u keep a secret caro?" He asks. I nod nervously.
"Ho uccisa" he whispers. I look at him confused as I can't speak Italian.
"I killed her caro" he whispers again. My eyes widen and I try to slide away but he grips me up against the wall and surrounds me.
"If you keep this a secret il mio dolce, I could repay you, show you things you've never seen, let you feel things that you've never felt" he breathes seductively into my ear.
Before I can reply his mouth is on mine in a forceful kiss, his hands roam my body and my hands find their way around his neck. Suddenly I push him away, disgusted that I let myself show him how weak I am.
"You idiot! You've just murdered a girl and your kissing me, you disgust me. Get out. Now" I shout. He steps closer to me, his face almost touching mine.
"I'll be back gattino,if u speak a word of this I will kill you, if you don't then I may just show you how much it means to me." He says before leaving.
