Belle's POV
I wake up in the softest bed ever. I try to move, but I can't. This feels like deja Vu. And it is. A huge tattooed arm is draped across me, hugging me into and muscular chest. And I'm right. It belongs to Dominic.
I begin thinking back. The hospital. The doctor. Tears fill my eyes. Then I remember Dominic barging in. H-he shot the doctor?!?
I start struggling to get away from him. He wakes up. "Mm I could wake up to this every day" he says. I blush. Why does he make me blush. He killed someone for gods sake.
"What do you want for breakfast gattino?" He asks me. I shrug "whatever you're having I guess" I say. He nods. He gets up, but doesn't let go of me. I really need to pee.
"Hey, um Dominic, i sort of need to pee" I say shyly. He laughs and carries me to the bathroom. I thank him and close the door.
I look in the mirror. I look disgusting. My hair is knotted and everywhere, I have huge rings under my eyes and my lips are dry. I decide to take a shower.
I brush my hair and braid it. Then I put on the only clothes I can find. A huge sweatshirt that reaches down to my mid thighs. I assume its Dominic's, since it smell like him. It's strangely comforting.
I walk out of the bedroom. The house is absolutely gorgeous. I walk downstairs with a bit of trouble, due to my casts and am met with the many stares.
There are around 10 men just standing there. They look extremely intimidating. They are all wearing black, and are all above 6'0". I've never felt this shirt in my life.
I regret coming down in only a sweatshirt, since they're eyes are looking me up and down.
In particular this one guy. He seems to be around 6'3' and us extremely buff. Like scarily buff. He is staring at my legs with hunger in his eyes.
I feel incredibly self conscious. I'm just about to run back upstairs, when a man speaks. "Who are you?" he asks. His voice is not unpleasant, it's actually quite friendly. "I'm Belle" I answer, not knowing what to say. He nods. "So what are you doing here Belle?" I shrug " I don't even know, I woke up here" I say.
Suddenly we all hear someone bellow from upstairs "BELLE". I recognize Dominic's voice and exhale in relief. Finally someone I know.
He comes walking down the stairs fast and comes over to me. "Are you okay, are you hurt?" he asks frantically. I shake my head and he pulls me into him. I try to hide myself in him.
He looks at the men who are staring at us. "Let me make this clear. If anyone so much as looks at her I will make your death slow and painful." They all nod. "Now get out of here. Wait Lucas, you stay here." Everyone leaves except the nice guy.
I try detaching myself from Dominic, but he holds be closer. "Lucas, can you go to Belle's apartment and get her things. I need to move them here." Dominic says.
I tense and look up at him "wait Dominic, I'm not staying here, I need to go home." I say. Oh no Adrian, he's gonna kill me. "No gattino you will never leave" he says. I start struggling, but he doesn't move an inch.
I start kicking a punching him and he lets me go. I quickly run upstairs. I lock the door and pull my hair in frustration. I need to get out of here. I decide that night time is probably the best time to escape, so I lie down to rest till then.
It's now 1am and I'm walking down the stairs as quietly as I can. There are guards at the front door, so I try to find a back door. After a few minutes I find one and I quickly leave.
The garden is humongous, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got lost in it. I just keep walking straight and come to a pretty high stone wall. Oh well, I guess I have to climb it. I look around and notice that there's a spot with a bunch of thick vines.
Bingo! I climb up the wall, using the vines and grip. Once I'm at the top, I look down. It's a pretty far jump with my broken leg. Screw it. I jump down and roll out of it, barely putting any weight on my leg. Whew, I should be a stunt person in movies, I got to say I'm good at this.
Now that the hard parts done I just walk along the road, hoping it will lead me somewhere. There are no cars on the road, and I'm getting a bit creeped out.
Then I see a gas station. Thank God. I quickly limp there as fast as possible. Before I can open there door, a hand closes it from behind me. I turn around to see 9 guys. They all look like they're apart of a gang. They have motorcycles and are dressed in leather.
I stand up straight and try not to look afraid, but inside I'm terrified. I should have stayed at Dominic's house.
I turn to leave, but who I assume to be the leader grabs my arm.i wince since it's my broken arm. "Where do you think you're going sexy" he says with a smirk. His voice is deep and cold, sending shiver down my back.
I rip my arm from his hand and try to open the door to the gas station. They all just start laughing when it doesn't open. The leader grabs my waist and turns me around to face him. I kick him in the balls and he doubles over. Hmm this cast is actually pretty useful.
Everyone stops laughing. I turn to run. I make it 7 steps before they have circled me again. Now they look mad, and all of them start coming towards me. 2 grab my arms and one grabs my neck. "What do you want from me" I scream at the leader. "Oh sweetheart, I think you know exactly what I want" he says.
I spit in his face. He wipes it off and glares at me. "Now now sweetheart, you've made me mad." The men start laughing again. One of them says "this ones a feisty one eh Cole".
The leader, who I assume is named Cole chuckles in response. "Yes, this is going to be interesting." I go limp. I've given up. I can't take this anymore. I just want to die.
"Looks like little miss fighter has lost her fight" Cole coos. He slaps me across the face. I don't react.
Suddenly I hear sirens. The police?! "s**t boss let's get out if here" one of the guys say. They let me go, get on their motorcycles and ride away.
I run to the police car. The door opens up and a concerned officer runs out. "Sweety are you okay?" She asks me. She looks to be about 50 years old, with a kind face.
I nod, but burst out crying. She quickly comes and gives me a hug. I lean on her while she guides me to the car. We start driving to the police station.
I can't believe how lucky I am.
