Chains

Chapter Five - Stuck with Him

Alessandro's POV:

I don't know why seeing her crying like this made me sad. I'm not supposed to feel anymore. Yet here I am trying to make her happy.

She's now sitting on the counter watching me making pancakes.

"Am I going to see my family ever again?" She asked me sounding nervous.

"If you show me that I can trust you, I will let you see them." She looked at me with a smile on her beautiful face.

"You can trust me, I won't tell anybody about what I saw, promise!" She stated excitedly.

"Will see about that. Now lets eat!" We walked to the table and began to eat.

I'm turning soft.

"You don't have a family?" She asked me with a full mouth. She's so cute.

"No." I said trying to avoid her pitiful gaze.

She looked sad for a moment.

"Oh, I'm sorry are they dead?" She stopped eating and asked me.

"I don't really wanna talk about that." I told her truthfully.

The nightmares are already enough for me. I don't want to remember anything now.

"I understand." She said eating again.

"After my mother died my dad left me and went away." I looked at her and saw sadness in her eyes.

What the hell is happening to me? I've never told anyone about my parents, except to Giovanni!

I told her that I don't want to talk about it but still I did tell her.

"My dad left us too!" Her voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Why?" What a stupid question to ask, Alessandro. I mentally face palmed myself.

"I don't know." She almost whispered.

Her eyes began to fill with tears again.

Shit.

"I didn't mean to make you sad! Please don't cry!" I said in a caring voice.

"Why are you so good to me? I thought the mafia kills people?"

I kill people, tesoro! But I can't bring myself to harm you. I don't even know why.

This girl will be the death of me.

And she's only been here a day.

"Well I don't harm beautiful, innocent girls like you!" I told her. She blushed and tried to avoid my gaze.

Silence took over.

"Alessandro, you dickhead!" Ugh. What does he want now?!

"What do you want, Giovanni? I glared at him.

This annoying piece of s**t. I don't even know why he's my best friend.

"Oh I didn't know we have a guest!" He winked at Arabella.

"Hi there, I'm Giovanni! This ugly mans best buddy." He told her.

"I'm Arabella!" She responded shyly.

"What do you want?" I repeated my question.

"Breakfast!" He sat himself down and began to eat.

Asshole.

"No time for breakfast, we have business to deal with, come on!" I stood up from my chair.

"Why do you get to eat breakfast and me not?!"

"Because it's my house and not yours!"

Arabella giggled at us.

"Do not even think about dating this selfish man!" He told Arabella and she choked on pancakes.

He's so dead.

"Shut the f**k up, Giovanni!" That little fucker.

"Ok ok, take a chill pill, man!"

"We won't be long." I told Arabella.

She nodded and we went out.

----------------------------

Arabella's POV:

He said he won't be long. It's been 3 hours now and I'm here alone in this huge house.

It's so boring.

Let's take a round in the house. Hopefully I won't get lost.

I climbed up the stairs and found myself in a long hallway.

I walked around till my eyes caught a huge dark double door. Curiosity took the best of me. I slowly opened the door to be met with a huge office.

In the center of the room was a big dark brown desk with a laptop and other things on it, like papers, pens and files. The usual office stuff.

Behind the desk stood a large bookshelf.

As I got nearer to it, I saw a turned down photo frame.

I carefully turned it back up.

It looks like a family photo but the head of the man in the picture is cut out. In the middle of the man and woman sat a child. He looked a lot like Alessandro.

It's him.

"What the f**k you think you're doing?!" A voice spat with anger.

I turned around to see a very angry Alessandro standing at the entrance.

"I-I..." was all I managed to say before he pinned me to the bookshelf.

"Who allowed you to go to my office and play with my belongings?!" He said while holding my jaw very tight. It hurt.

"I-I was b-bored... so I decided to g-go around the... house!" I stuttered.

"Who gave you permission to do that!" He yelled at me pulling nearer to him by my waist.

"I'm sorry!" I whispered looking down at his chest trying to avoid his glares.

"You'll be punished!" He said coldly.

What??

"From now on you're not allowed to leave my room without my permission." His room?!

"Your room?!" I asked now looking up at his face.

"Yes my room! He assured.

"Whatever wicked thing you're thinking about is not going to happen! I'd rather die than let you touch me!! I yelled at him confidence rising up in me.

"Who said I want to touch you? You're not my type anyway."

Ouch.

"And a sexy criminal like you is not my type either!!" I yelled.

What?! Sexy?!

Really, Arabella?!

I want to die!

I mentally face palmed myself.

A wicked smirk appeared on his face.

He then pushed me even closer to him.

"So you find me sexy, huh?" He asked brushing his nose against mine.

"N-no!" Why am I so foolish.

"Is that so, baby girl? Because I thought I heard you saying that I'm a sexy criminal." He said and his smirk grew wider.

"No, I haven't said that, now let me go!! I tried to push but he wouldn't budge.

"Ok, meet you in my room, tesoro!" He winked at me and left the office.

Now I'm stuck with him in the same room too.

God, why am I so stupid?
