Luciano

Liar

Camila

Heitor was staring at me intently. After what he just did, what we did. I had a hard time looking at him without blushing. He helped me find my footing and brushed back my hair.

"I'll go out first," he said. As he left the restroom, I began to think about what just happened. My core clenched and my stomach tightened. I had never felt like this before. I had never done anything like that before. I try to compose myself before I walked out. I stepped out ready to go face him again but I bumped into a hardback.

"Hello, little one," the man said. I recognized him. He was at my house. "My name is Dario." I walked back into a wall. He stepped closer. "Don't be afraid. I won't bite." His grin was menacing. He drew out his finger and ran it down my cheek.

"Please, don't-." Dario stepped closer.

"You are very pretty. I could do a lot with you,"

"CAMILA!" my father shouted. "Come here." I ran quickly to him. I had never been happier to see my father in my life. "Dario we need to talk. Camila, go find Luciano and stay with him. Tell Vicente to come find me. NOW!" I ran off and saw Vicente talking to my mother. I told Vicente to find my father. Vicente bolted towards my father and took three of his men with him. I told my mother I needed to find Luciano. She said he was outside with Heitor and Demetri.

"This is getting ridiculous," Luciano said to Heitor. "How much longer?"

"I need to figure out what Adriano's relationship with Dario is," Heitor said. "And I have learned a lot from Camila."

"I bet you have," Luciano said. I felt my heart thumping in my chest. I was surprised they couldn't hear it. Part of me wanted to storm in there and give them all a piece of my mind and a part of me was too scared to but then.

"Watch it Heitor, I know what I am doing," Heitor said that to Luciano but what, I didn't understand.

"Luciano, you need to stay away from her," Luciano just called Heitor Luciano. What was going on? I tried to back away slowly but my heel clicked on the tile.

"Camila," Heitor or I guess Luciano said. I turned to run away but Demetri ran in front of me and Heitor grabbed my elbow. The real Heitor. Luciano slowly walked up to me. "You weren't meant to hear that," Luciano said.

"Hei-," I was about to call him by the name I knew him by but that wasn't his name. "Luciano." He smirked.

"I guess my plan changed," Luciano said. I felt a cloth cover my mouth and my eyes began to close.

I woke up with a headache. My eyes could barely stay open for too long. When I finally could focus on something. I saw the room was pitch black and only a small light in the far left-hand corner.

"Mom," I said groggily.

"She's not here," I heard a rough voice say. I looked to the other side and I just saw a dark shadow sitting on a chair.

"Luciano," I said.

"The one and only," he smiled as he came out of the dark. He came to sit on the bed.

"Why?" is all I could manage to say.

"Does it really matter? What's done is done," he replied.

"That's all you have to say," my throat was closing up.

"Go to sleep Camila,"

"No!" I found my courage. He chuckled at my protest.

"I want to go home," I told him.

"That's not going to happen," Luciano smirked. He got up off the bed and walked towards the bedroom door. I shot up and ran towards him. He closed the door and locked it. I slammed my fists on the door and began to bang on it.

"LET ME OUT!" I shouted. "LUCIANO!"

I shouted his name over and over. He didn't come back. I fell asleep leaning on the door.

Luciano

"Luciano," Camila shouted over and over. Tonight, was the first time she called me by my real name. She was shouting it over and over but not how I imagined or wanted her to. I didn't know what I was going to do. Camila found out about me and my plan before I had a chance to really learn anything. All I knew now, is I need to keep her here. I need to keep her. I had to do this quickly before her father turns every stone to look for her. I didn't even know what I was going to do but that but I need to buy myself some time. Once I heard the banging stop, I went into the bedroom I had put her in. She was leaning on the door so I gently pushed the door open enough to slide in. I picked her up and put her on the bed. I brushed her hair out of her face.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" I watched her sleep. I was racking my brain telling myself to get up and go to my own room. Her soft whimpers and her beautiful face were holding me, hostage, here.

The next morning, I got up before Camila did. I went to go work out and showered before I had breakfast. Demetri told me she hadn't woken up yet.

"YOU BASTARD, LET ME OUT!" she shouted. I smiled and continued eating breakfast.

"What are you going to do?" Heitor asked me.

"I will have a chat with our guest," I told him. I finished eating breakfast and twenty minutes later I went to her.

"Are you not tired?" I asked her as I opened the door.

"Let me out," she said. "I have school and work. My father will come looking for me."

"Let him try," I said. "I think it's time we have a chat about everything."

"I don't want to hear anything you have to say," she snapped. "Liar."
