Adara
When I woke up I had almost forgotten where I was. But then I remembered last night and the neutral expression I had on my face turned sour. I sigh before I comb my hand through my hair just to find out that it was all tangled up in knots. I let out another sigh, already frustrated with the day. I get up and make my way to my bathroom and turn on the showerhead. While I wait for the water to get warm, I brush my teeth.
I step into the shower and immediately place my head under the running water, closing my eyes to calm myself down, thinking about what I would do today that didn't involve me talking to anyone today besides myself. Finished with my shower, I step out and wrap my towel around me. I go to the adjoining room on the left where it had a large shelf where I had placed all of my makeup, skin care, and bathroom products on. Since I did not plan on going anywhere, I just apply a face serum and cream to my face before I walk out to go put my clothes on.
I look up and see a pair of brown eyes glaring at me from across the room. It was none other than Rey's calculating eyes.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxyZIh07Ci
"I'm changing. Don't you have your own room?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5sswzl8Tp
He says nothing. Just shrugs and leans off of the bedpost before he comes closer. He circles me until he gets behind me. He's so close, I can feel each breath as he breathes on my neck. It sends a shiver down my spine and I whip myself around to face him.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcHsjLjMkg
"What do you want?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCN1iIjHB
"You look hot."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayrrcFYEgI
"What?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTvHbjohpo
"You heard me."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DI8bnf1OR
"My guess is you're either high or very drunk. Get out."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELzpbmsV91
"Make me."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlepsOVcvX
"Glady," I smile before I quickly swing my legs at his which causes him to trip and fall back on his ass. "Get. Out. Now."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGUyaznlT2
"So bossy," he says as he gets up. "I wonder," he thinks out loud as he circles me again.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEeTjvun2r
"Wonder what?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc8LU7PbzG
"I wonder, how bossy you can be in bed." he grins as his fingers trail across my shoulders near my collarbone, up to the strands of my hair.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo3iib31Dn
I swat his hand away and step back.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKxdI1g40
"Go ask your little assistant that. Although I'm sure she isn't the type to boss anyone around. I heard you with her last night. She was practically screaming the walls down. I feel sorry for the other people here trying to sleep. I'm pretty sure your own mother heard it from wherever she was."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRIfyVIXb8
"And? Are you jealous? I could make you scream just as much," he replies with a wink.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopnxTNzXqg
"Oh God no. And no thank you, honestly I couldn't care less about who you have sex with, just try to be silent next time while I'm trying to sleep."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d2N7n9otS
"I don't think that'll be possible."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfD5Ruc6B6
"Well, find somewhere else to fuck that isn't down the hall dammit. Now leave me alone, I already have enough problems as it is and I sure as hell don't need you adding to that list." I spit out before I walk away from him and pull open a few drawers to find something to wear. I grab a navy blue lounge set and match it with navy blue underwear. I grab everything, give Rey one mean glare then make my way back into the bathroom and slam the door behind me.

I make my way out of my room and down the stairs. I walk through the long hall after taking a left and I find the kitchen located there. Beyond the kitchen was a breakfast room and what I'm guessing was a family room. I go back out into the hall and make my way down another path that leads me to a huge and empty ballroom. I ended up finding random rooms that seemed a waste of space to me and a few interesting ones that I took a mental note of if I wanted to find them again later. After all the exploring I decided to return to my room and spend the rest of my day there. I go back into the kitchen to grab myself something to eat. I end up finding Rey's mother there.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZ5NI7Q9m
"Hello, beautiful! Did you sleep well? How do you like it here? Oh, come sit. I made you breakfast."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4htBHHfXsR
I was taken aback for a bit. I forgot how it felt to have a mother that cared for you. I sigh and smile at her before I sit at the kitchen island.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mtlqXKuEZ
"Good morning! I slept okay."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6AEuDY9e
"Just okay? Did something keep you up? Did you get homesick?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2sSESPYEt
I was debating whether or not I should mention what her son has been doing all night, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrurfd43ST
"Yeah, homesick, that's all. But I'm better now."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTcJWBetvn
"Good! Alright, has Rey talked to you yet? He might be a little hard to talk to at first but trust me when I say this: When he wants to, he'll treat you like a queen, and I know you might think I'm just saying that because he's my son, but no, I've seen him with other women and he treated them all differently. Loyalty, trust, and communication are the three big things for him that can make or break a relationship. He had no idea what your father was going to put you in that auction, and the fact that he abruptly spent the amount of money he did on you means something. I'm not sure but I know that there is something more."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ14jBQfCF
"I'm not so sure about that. He told me that he only bought me to rub it in Vincenzo's face. Nothing more."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu2zeHCqOM
"You both have time. You'll grow to like each other. And eventually, hopefully, love each other too." she smiles.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyjCpumC6
I smile back as I pick up a sliced strawberry from the fruit bowl with my fork.

Instead of sitting in my room like I originally planned, I found the library and decided to spend the rest of the day in there instead. I close the door behind me softly and turn around to look at the dimly lit room filled with large shelves. The books were everywhere. I'm pretty sure I would find a librarian hidden somewhere unde/rneath them. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I did. I make my way deeper into the room and find the non-fiction section. I longed to find the biggest book that could take me away to another place, another world, different from my own. I find a thick book with a child on the cover. Her skin was pale, she had eyes that were fully black, and in her hands was a small dove. But it was red. Seemed interesting enough. I take the book and walk deeper into the library until I find what seemed to be some sort of couch playpen. I shrug at the interesting layout and climb inside of it. I stare at the cover of the book once more before I turn the first few pages, instantly calming my state of mind as I inhale the book's scent when I flipped through. I read for so long I wouldn't have noticed that the day was nearly over if it wasn't for the light that was dimming outside through the large window. Without thinking I reach to my side for my phone but then quickly remember that I had left it upstairs in the room. Oh well, It's not like I'll be waiting for any texts from anyone. Now that my parents pretty much threw me out to another family, they're probably much happier.
I get up and seconds later a pair of hands forces me back down. A knife to my throat.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVFtJYZrvc
"Sit back down bitch."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHXo9eTSh
Before they can press the blade deeper into my skin I quickly take my right hand and slap the knife away then use my left to grab whoever it was to flip them over me and onto the couch seats that lay in the middle.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mj2HxtiUf
"I don't take orders from anyone."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Tzu2fkmd
It was that woman again. The bitch who seemed to cling at his side every second of the day. I flip her around and sit on her back while I twist her arms behind her then grab the knife so that she wasn't able to move nor take back her weapon.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZlHCMhcqa
"I'm giving you five fucking seconds to tell me why you ever thought of trying to kill me before I take this knife and shove it right down your throat," I whisper in her ear with gritted teeth.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKFMpfgD4W
"I'm not telling you shit bitch."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZysMjtFBm
"Well, I guess you wanna die then."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8MpLHMPvC
"Do it, you won't, you're just a pussy." she laughs.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdsvrWbkxC
"Oh, you think I won't?" I say as I twist the knife in my hand.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthrDgkixrp
"I know y-"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy8tiRcDT0
I press the blade to her arm and it cuts her lightly. She winces in pain.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlFHJBlNCb
"Next smart remark and I'll end you."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyNX5WJsfU
"Tell me why you tried to kill me."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI0sYn9xVU
She keeps her mouth shut. I roll my eyes. She was testing my patience and she knew it. I pull her up slightly before I slam her back down.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UwsvKLuPX
"Answer me puttana!"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbPekjy0fI
"Kill me! Rey will make sure your dead anyway when he finds out." she screams.
"Il Mio Fiore, stop."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQfh2QlEj
I angrily turned around to the sound of Rey's booming voice.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv68XZFEj2
"Tell your whore to leave me the hell alone before I tear her apart."
I look at the both of them. And I remember last night.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcI2jvYqXq
"You must think this is a joke Cacciatore. You expect me to live here with this jealous cagna who hates me? You got me fucked up. Clearly she's the one who wants to have your babies. And by the looks of her she'll gladly do it too."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBw0cjfpPL
"I don't want her. I want you."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCm7K0DOFl
"Why? Seriously Why is it so hard for you to find someone else. There has got to be someone on this earth that will take you willingly."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4lfFzMih
"You're the one I'm marrying and that's final."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmScPlaPsnz
"I hate you."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVaEn8Eqyp
