Enzo:

The tension in the air thickened. Tabitha wanted to say something, but her mouth clamped shut, and she stepped closer to my side, her eyes not leaving Emily.

My face was tight, stealing glances from Hunchley to Emily and back to Hunchley. I had barely recognized Emily when she walked up to us, but that wasn’t even the worst part of it all.

My eyes scanned the room, and the disgust I had been fighting to keep at bay was tugging furiously at my facial muscles. It all made sense now: The s

    Enzo:I couldn’t sleep. How could I? After what I read? After everything I read?I buried my head in my hands for the umpteenth time.“What the hell is wrong with you, Vince? What the hell is your problem? Why did you just listen to me?”Fatucci. I knew it. I knew that name was familiar. I had to see him. I had to find time and see him. I slumped backwards in bed, tears running down my face as I looked up at the ceiling. This whole thing was deeper than I thought. How did he even get caught up in this? What enticed him to start any of this?Fatucci lived in Brooklyn. That was going to be at least a two-day trip. I had to get ready immediately. There wasn’t a second left to spare.I was just about to call the number on the paper when my phone buzzed. My heart skipped a beat. There was no attached name. “Collin. Bastard,” I gritted before pressing the green button and putting it on speaker. “Hello, En…”“Where is Tabitha? I want to speak to her right now!”He laughed on the other end

    Tabitha:I slept better than I had slept in days. The bed was huge and soft. The room was cold, and the sheets felt warmer and softer than anything that I could have ever imagined. A few times, I had woken up, and as soon as I saw the beautiful sky, I would be rocked back to sleep, feeling a kind of peace I never thought could be felt in the den of my kidnappers. By the time I had opened my eyes fully, the sun was already in the sky. There was a knock at my door, and it slowly opened. A maid walked in with a breakfast tray. She managed a small smile at me before she set it down on the bedside table. “The consigliere will be busy today,” she said, as if I had asked, “he said that you should eat and get ready. The Boss would be meeting you today.”My stomach churned. “The… the boss? Why? Did he say why?”She shook her head, still smiling. “Eat and get ready. You wouldn’t want to keep anyone waiting.”She left the room, and the door clicked shut, and I listened as the key turned in t

    Tabitha:I finished dinner and sat down quietly. My drink was right in front of me, but I couldn’t take a sip. I saw the way the liquid swirled. Maybe it was my imagination, but there was something sparkly in it. Drugs perhaps. Maybe it was the fear making me see things, but I wasn’t going to drink it regardless. “Is everything alright?” Collin asked, on his last few pieces of steak, “You haven’t touched your drink.”I smiled, catching his other hand move on his lap. That was where his gun was. My heart skipped a beat. If there was something inside, he was going to make me drink it. I had to move fast. “I’m fine. I’m just trying to make room.” I was scared, but I almost believed myself. Well, I did indeed have no room for the drink. I reached across the table to grab something and ‘accidentally’ knocked the glass over. The contents spilt on the table and flowed towards me. I didn’t move out of the way fast enough before the orange liquid fell on my lap, wetting the hem of my expens

    Enzo:I pulled up to my house and sighed. That sinking feeling was back again. Everything hurt all over again. She wasn’t home, and I wasn’t sure that I was ever going to get over that feeling.The lights were on, however. Edwardo was probably cooking. This was it. He was the last person that spoke to Tabitha. If he was the one that took her. “Easy, Enzo. There is no need to jump to conclusions," I muttered to myself, releasing my fist and taking a deep breath. I had to relax. If the spy realized that anything was off, then it was over for me… and Tabitha. I couldn’t let that happen. Nothing would happen to her. The car door closed a little louder than necessary when I got out. My heart was pounding in my chest as I walked up to the front door, put the key in the lock and turned. The first thing that welcomed me was the smell of fettuccini alfredo. It smelled heavenly, making my mouth water and reminding me that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. I put my briefcase on the living room

    Tabitha:The table was set beautifully. The lights were out, and scented candles were lit, filling the dining area with a soft glow. For a moment, I was genuinely taken away. The food smelled delicious, and each breath made my mouth water. “You like it?” Collin asked, tucking my hair behind my shoulder. I made sure that it was top-notch and we could enjoy this lovely feast together. He leaned in, and his breath against my neck made me jump. I caught the scowl before it vanished. “But before we eat,” he took my hand and pulled me in closer, but I stopped myself with a hand on his chest, “we need to work up an appetite first. Come.”He took me through another door–one of the doors that the guards stood by–and my jaw dropped to the floor. It was a living room. It was decorated. The chandelier was made out of glass that shone like fire jewels in the dim light. It was amazing. “You like it?” he asked, stroking my hair and making me jump. “Yes,” I moved away, feeling goosebumps dot my

    Tabitha:“We’ll soon be done, dear… there we go. What do you think?”I looked at myself in the mirror, and I wasn’t entirely sure of how to feel.The chains hung down my body, clinking softly any time I moved; my back had been oiled, and it shone like polished ivory and had even been decorated with a bit of body glitter, and my hair was in long, full curls. I looked beautiful, but this wasn’t the person that I wanted to look beautiful for. I hated it. I hated that I was being dressed in such expensive clothes just to feed the hungry eyes of a member of the Mafia. I hated that I wanted to live so much and these were the ridiculous things that I had to put up with just so that I wouldn’t have a gun put to the side of my head. “So, do you like it?” The maid asked again, smiling, even though I knew that it was forced. “I love it. I look beautiful.” I spun around and smiled. The words were honest, but not my face. “Excellent. I will be leaving you then. The Consigliere will be coming so

    Enzo:The stars were shining brightly in the sky. The part was filled with the smell of the blossoming flowers. I couldn’t remember the number of times that I told myself that I was going to come here, but I hadn't had the time to get around doing it. The air was cool and crisp, the moon was a cre

    Tabitha:I had been enjoying myself but now this bitch just had to show up .I set my fork down; suddenly I wasn't so interested in the food anymore. She glared at me across the table but just like a chameleon, she beamed at Enzo like she hadn't just done anything wrong .“I could almost swear that

    Enzo:We got the menu and while I looked through it, I couldn't take my eyes off Tabitha. I recognized the waiter as soon as he bumped into her and I couldn't say that I was happy to see him. The jealous feeling I felt seeing him with her at the launch seemed to roll back into my mind. Tabitha sai

    Tabitha:I couldn't explain how happy I was when work was finally over. As I cleared my desk, Nora walked in. She was looking considerably relaxed regardless of Natasha's attitude during lunch break. “I'm so sorry that I was unable to properly stand up for you,” I said regrettably, taking her hand
