‘Why am I here?’

‘Isn’t it obvious. You are to marry my son.’

‘I can't, I'm already married.’

‘We can arrange for that to be undone.’

‘Why me?’

‘All in good time. I just wanted to introduce myself to you . Alessandro Bianchi. I know your father will be pleased you’re here.’

‘Why?’

‘Like I said all in good time my dear. I’d like to welcome you to my home. You'll be living here from now on.’

‘Bu..’

‘It is final, you will share my son’s bed, eat and drink with us am I clear?’

‘Crystal .’

He smiled. ‘Perfecto, Regio will take you back to Luca and we’ll see you for dinner.’

She smiled pulling herself up walking over to the door. ‘Oh and don’t even try and escape, all areas of the house and grounds are covered.’

She nodded opening the door stepping out to a largely built male guess he must be Reigo. ‘This way mam.’

She followed him down the large corridor of the mansion leaving her at Luca’s door. He nodded and she opened the door, he stood by it. There was no way out from this side of the door, maybe she’d try the window.

He looked at her, smiled and tapped the bed.

She swallowed walking over to him laying beside him.

‘So how did it go with my father?’

‘Okay I guess. He doesn’t give much away.’

‘That’s my father.’

‘Why am I here?’

‘Hasn’t he told you?’

‘Briefly.’

‘Well that’s all you need to know.’

‘Gee you don’t give much away either.’

‘It’s best not to.’

‘Oh.’

He leaned over her. ‘Isaac told us you we’re pretty. He didn’t mention you were hot to.’

She smiled awkwardly.

He leaned forward and she lay nervously. He got closer. ‘I’m going to enjoy spending the rest of my life with you.’

‘I’m married.’

‘Where’s the ring?’

She looked down shit, shit, shit.

She’d thrown it at Gianni earlier. ‘Oh erm I don’t wear it.’

He smiled not quite believing her excuse, he got closer. ‘I’m going to kiss you.’

‘That’s not a..’

His lips pressed on hers kissing her. He slipped his tongue in kissing her harder, making her breathless. He slid his hand up her thighs un zipping his jeans pushing her skirt up, she wanted to protest but it was to late he was already inside her thrusting deep inside her like a maniac, a moan escaped her mouth, he smiled thrusting harder and faster.

Her head was heavy as he pulled away. He lay by her placing his arm over her closing his eyes.

She looked at him, he was snoring now was her chance. She slid from underneath him, her skirt fell to her knees and she made her way over to the window god she hoped there weren’t cameras in the room. She edged the window open, slipping out onto the ledge. She quietly closed the window and pulled herself down to the ground, looking around the large garden making sure that there was no security out here, when she was sure that there wasn’t any she ran until she came to a large gate. She leaped over it continuing to run, that's when she grabbed his hand over her mouth. ‘Come with me if you want to be safe.’

She nodded, scared to breathe. And they were gone.

‘Where the hell is she?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘What the hell did you do Luca?’

‘Nothing I swear.’

‘How the hell can she just disappear? show me the security footage.’ He said angrily.Regio played the security footage where were all the security? he’d shoot them for this. They watched as she ran across the garden and leaped over the gate like it was nothing, he must say he was impressed. ‘Check the footage outside the house.’

Regio pulled up the footage outside the house she’d ran after she’d made it over the gate and disappeared. ‘Where the hell is she? she can’t just disappear just like that.’ He said clicking his fingers.

‘We’ve got men out searching for her.’

‘I want her brought back in one piece. Her father arrives in two days.’

Alora sat on the chair, where the hell was she?

He bent down in front of her. ‘You sure get in some shit Alora.’

She looked into his eyes. ‘Lorenzo.’

He smiled.

‘What the hell are you doing here?’

‘Apart from saving your ass.’

‘Yes.’

‘Have they told you why you’re here?’

‘Not really.’

‘Dad’s going to kill me, but you can’t marry that guy.’

‘I know.’

‘He was pissed you married Gianni.’

‘I know he refused to come to the wedding.’

‘Did he tell you why? ‘

‘No. What’s going on?’

‘Do you know who they are?’

‘No.’

‘They’re Italian Mafia like Gianni, like dad.’

‘Excuse me dad’s part of the Mafia?’

‘Yes look Alora. He and Bianchi made a deal two bring both mafias together to take over Gianni’s 60 % of Italy.’

‘I thought he owned it all?’

‘No. Dad owns 20% Bianchi the other 20 they made an alliance to bring them together and take the 60% off Gianni. The alliance was you. You were supposed to marry Luca after you finished uni but Gianni had other ideas and he made sure to marry you before you returned to university to finish your degree. Bianchi was pissed.’

‘It was them outside uni?’

‘Yes.’ He admitted. ‘But Gianni was too clever. He made sure his sidekick get you out of there before they took you.’

She swallowed she thought he’d married her to continue the company name not this.

‘We need to get out of here Alora and as far as possible so they can’t find you.’

‘Why are you doing this? you were always dad’s favourite.’

‘What he done to you is wrong and I’m ashamed to call him my father. I want to keep you safe Alora.’

‘Okay.’

‘Let’s go the jet is waiting.’

They pulled themselves up and walked out the hanger to the private jet, pulling themselves up the steps greeted by more security the Mafia sure went out on security. They both sat down putting their seat belts on. The jet went down the runway perusing the evening sky.

‘We’re going to find her Gianni.’

‘How could I have been so stupid.’

‘She’ll calm down.’

‘She threw the fucking ring at my face and they fucking took her they could be anywhere.’

‘The men are out looking Gianni we’ll find her.’

‘We better we all know why he wants her.’

‘Your married.’

‘And do you think that will stop him? He has ways Raven you know that as well as I do.’

The call came in. ‘They’ve found Bianchi.’

‘Let’s go.’

They kitted up and were gone.
