ELENA’S POV
Elena woke up the next morning, with pains all over her body. Her head was pounding and her throat felt very dry. She looked around the room she was in and it did not feel familiar at all.
“Where am I” she said to herself
That was when the events of last night came flooding to her.
The betrayal, The club, The drinks and the man with the cold stare. How she stumbled into the VIP section and then how she begged him to stay and initiated what happened by kissing him hungrily. Her gaze went to the scattered sheets and her bare skin. She looked over at the man, he was shirtless, his muscles perfectly defined. His face was flawless. It was the kind that warned you to stay away. There was something powerful and terrifying about him. She did not know who he was and she honestly did not care; she just wanted to leave as quickly as she could.
“No, No, Noo” she whispered, pulling the covers to her chest. This could not be happening to her.
She slowly slipped out of the bed. Her legs were trembling due to the activities of last night. She searched for her clothes with shaky hands due to panic. She found her dress across the room on the sofa, she immediately slipped into it. She picked up her purse, held her heels because wearing it might wake him up, she tiptoed to the door praying he did not wake up. She made her way to the elevator then the lobby and ran without looking back like her life depended on it.
GIOVANNI’S POV
The morning sun shone through the curtains into the room. Giovanni stirred, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. Yesterday night was the best night of his life. He slept peacefully for close to 5 hours which was unusual because he suffers from insomnia. He turned wanting to look at the girl that stormed into his life but the bed was empty and she was gone.
He sat up instantly, removed the blanket and that was when he saw the red patch on the sheets. He knew what that meant.
“She was a virgin,” he said to no one in particular. The sheets were still warm meaning she had not been gone for long. His expression darkened. He picked up his phone and dialed the number of his right hand man and assistant, Lucas.
“ She’s gone” Giovanni said coldly
“ Who, Boss??” Lucas asked confused
“The girl from last night, she’s gone, Lucas. Find her. I don’t care how but I need you to find her” he roared at Lucas he was pissed.
Giovanni returned to the bed and stood by it, he kept staring at it and his eyes went to the blood stain. She left without saying anything, not even goodbye.
“ No one dares to escape from me, No one not even her” he said with rage in his voice.
He took the pillow she used and smelt it, her scent was still there and still refreshing. Something twisted inside him, it was very unfamiliar. He didn’t know who she was or where she came from but one thing was certain and that was she did not get to leave especially after last night.
While he was still thinking about her, he got a call from Lucas.
“Speak” Giovanni said the moment he picked the call
“ Boss, we went through the surveillance footage and did our investigation. The name of the girl is Elena Blake, she owns a bakery downtown Milan, not fancy, just warm and it is very popular among the locals. She stayed at the house above the bakery. No records, no family just her. She recently broke up with her boyfriend after she caught him cheating on her with her best friend” Lucas said
“Get the address of the bakery for me”. He said and ended the call.
No family, he wondered how lonely she must have felt and the thought of her being with someone else made him feel a certain way.
“At least I was her first” he said consoling himself.
Elena Blake, he said her name repeatedly. One time he knew for sure was that she had become his obsession.
