CHAPTER 3

He grabs my wrist and I open my eyes. I jolted by his touch. He pulled me toward him. He closed his face toward my face. I feel butterflies in my stomach. "Open your eyes," he said. I try to remove my wrist from his hold. He holds it tightly. My eyes watering. "Please let me go," I said with a teary voice. He pulled me toward him closer. He stared attacked my lips until our lips locked. At first, the kiss was small but then it grew bigger and more intense. I have never experienced in kissing before. This was kiss about? My lips are virgin before. But then I suddenly realized what are we really doing. I need to come to my sense. I push him away but he keeps me tightly toward him. 

"don't ever resist me, la mia principessa," he said with a stern voice. He moves away from me and walked toward the case. What is in there? He takes the injector from the case. Not again! I think I gonna die.  "It doesn't make you die, its just faint you up, principessa," he said calmly. He moves closer toward me again and removes a strand of my hair to my ear. He applied something cold on my neck. "What was it?" I asked. He didn't listen. He takes the syringe with a thin needle. He injected me with the drug to my neck. My eyes were about to close and fall on to his hold. "Sleep tight, principessa. "he kissed my forehead. 

I feel I have slept for too long. I open my eyes slowly and woke up in the big bed filled with luxury decoration. I sat up and admire the room. 

I touch my forehead because I feel dizzy. I realize what I'm wearing. I was in a large white shirt that just above my knees. I look at the surrounding. Who was dressed me? Is it him? I come to my sense. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I twist the knob of the door. I walked in.  "It really beautiful in here. "I amazed. The bathroom counter was shiny with a marble design. I washed my face on the sink. I take a toothbrush on the counter and a towel. I brush my teeth. 

I lifted my head to the mirror and I saw the devil leaning at the door frame. I rolled my eyes. He entered the bathroom. I close my eyes. He stands closer behind my back.  He caged me with his hand's side by side. I feel he place his head on my shoulder. I close my eyes in fear. The room getting hotter. Why I'm getting hot? I feel sweat forming on my forehead. "Turn around," he whispered. My heart beating faster. "I don't like repeating," he said in stern voice. I turn around and facing him. I need to face my fear. "Can't you.... out ..from this bathroom?"I asked with a shaky voice. I swallowed my throat. 

"I can go where ever I want, princepessa, "he said with a stern voice. "Because this is my house," he said arrogantly. "I want you to dress nicely for dinner and I want to introduce you to my family principessa, "he said. Family! I'm out. "What?" I said. "Just follow my rules," he said. "your dress will be sent by one of the maids, "he said. He kissed my forehead and walk out. My eyes started filling with tears. I keep reminding what my parent doing. How were my father and mother doing? I leaned on the counter and I cried so much. My eyes probably red from crying. I washed my eyes on the sink. 

After a few hours, a knock on the door of the room. I walked out of the bathroom.  "Come in. "I said. "Miss. Cooper, I here sending your dress. Sir order, Miss. "she said. She walked in with a red dress and a pair of heels.  "no, don't call me Miss just call me Olivia or Olive is enough. You make me feel old. "I said with a smile. "what your name?"I asked. She gives me the dress. I laid it on the bed.  It's really beautiful.  "my name is Valentina Rocco. Nice to meet you Olive," she replied. I nodded my head. 

"nice to meet you, "I said and we shake our hands. But then she hugged me. She such a sweet girl. I hugged her back. "you are really beautiful, that why Sir can't take off his eyes from you."She said. What did she say?  "you are joking. No, he not. He not, "I said with a small laugh. "No, Olive. I saw him looking at you when you are faint in his arms," she said. He takes me to this room.  "I can't be with him or even in love. He ruined my family."I said in teary voice and wiped the tears. "We will see, Olive," she said with a smile. What? I don't like him at all. I scared of him. 

"Sir, told me, I will doing your makeup and hairdresser," she said and walk to the bathroom.  I followed her from behind. "Okay, do we need to be formal? I rather wear this shirt," I said. It's dinner night with family. She looking at what I'm wearing. "What? No, Olive. They will think you have sex with him," she let out a small laugh. I slap her arm lightly. "Okay...Okay stop," she said.  "Olive, Romano Famiglia always dress up when it comes to dinner. They are powerful and influential famiglia. They followed their tradition every dinner. "she explained. 

"No one can fight their famiglia, "she said. She pours the rose scent into the bathtub. The smell was really nice. "Okay, now I want you to take a roses bath," she said. I nodded my head. She walked out of the bathroom. I take off my clothes. I jumped into the bathtub. It's so relaxing and best roses smell ever. After a few minutes, I have done with the bath. I take the robe on the counter. I put it on. I walked out from the bathroom and Valentina stood up. "You ready?" she smiled. I nodded my head. Meet someone family was not my thing.

I take a seat on the chair. She applies foundation, eyeshadow, highlight on my cheeks and red lipstick. She let my hair curled down to my shoulder.
