Ezra and I were finally home! Well, technically I was home, but Ezra stayed at Ezra's house. We ended up staying at Ezra's house until we all decided to go home. Ezra told me to stay the night since I spent the majority of the night working anyways. I didn't mind though. I'm actually glad that Ezra chose to stay at my house rather then his own. I would have slept in a hotel if he had suggested that instead of sleeping at Ezra's. Even though we both tried to convince him to let us stay at my apartment, he refused to let us. He said that it wouldn't be right for him to put us both under the same roof. It took some convincing, but eventually Ezra agreed. After all, he knows I never would've listened to him anyway. So we stayed at Ezra's house instead.It's been three weeks since the team got back from the mission. Three weeks has passed, but I am still unable to forget about what happened at that mission. Every single time I close my eyes, I still remember everything clearly. And ev
Suddenly, my earpiece began buzzing. I instantly reached into my pocket and pulled out the communication device. The only person I would respond to by putting the communicator on speaker mode. Immediately after activating the communicator, I heard a familiar voice. "Alessia? What's going on? Where are you?""Hey," I sighed. "What's going on? Have you seen anyone? Anyone suspicious?""No. No signs of anyone. Are you okay? Do you know if the others found anything?" she asked. She was clearly worried. I felt a pang of guilt hit me. I didn't mean to worry her. She was worrying enough for the both of us."Yeah, they're fine." I assured. "They haven't come back yet.""Alright, are you sure you're alright?""Yeah... yeah, I'm fine." I lied.After a few seconds, he replied. "Okay, we'll meet you back here, Alessia. Stay safe.""See you soon."When I ended the call, I quickly put the communications device away and pulled out my gun. My fingers wrapped around the grip of the rifle. I was ready
"What?" I began, but he cut me off."Hey! Look!" he whispered urgently, pointing down into the darkness below us. I followed his finger to see what he was looking at. I gasped loudly. At first, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And as I took in the sight, the image burned itself into my brain. Makes me so confused, I hope this all will get over soon.Even thought this really so difficult, but I need to escape from this place this is really dangerous for me, I hope all the miracle will coming."We have to get out of here." Ezra told me. "Now. We can't stay here.""Yeah. Okay." I agreed.I moved myself so I was sitting up. As I did so, I noticed that my leg was hurting badly. The bullet wound hadn't stopped bleeding even though there wasn't any blood coming out anymore. I knew I should take care of it, but the pain was almost unbearable. I was lucky that Ezra had pushed me over onto my shoulder so that it didn't hurt as much. That had saved my life. Otherwise, I would be lying dea
Before anyone else could reply, one of the soldiers kicked open the door. Once we stepped outside, we were greeted by blinding sunlight. All of us squinted as we looked around. We couldn't really see much except trees. It was quiet. Very quiet. Even my hearing seemed to have stopped working. I tried to move my ears but found that it was completely silent. It was like someone had pressed mute on the rest of the planet. No sound was reaching my ears, no birds chirped, nothing."Where are we?" I questioned."In a forest ." one of the guards replied shortly.I frowned. "A forest?""Just listen. Walk forwards a few steps."I obeyed, confused. We were indeed alone. The only sounds I heard were our own footsteps. But I didn't hear anything else. The other soldiers seemed to notice that too, because all three of them began glancing about nervously."Keep looking. See anything?""Nothing. Nothing at all.""Ok..." I said slowly."Good. Now, move forward."I looked towards Ezra. He nodded. We
Once inside, I immediately noticed that all of the other occupants of the cabin looked like they were frozen. Their faces were pale and their mouths hung open. They hadn't seen us arrive. They seemed to be in deep sleep. One of the prisoners was lying on the floor asleep, while two others sat across from each other, leaning against the wall. The fifth prisoner was sitting in a chair near the doorway, holding an old man by his lapels. His clothes were ragged and torn. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he hadn't been sleeping for quite some time. His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow."So this is where you guys live?" I exclaimed, stepping past the guard and rushing up to the sleeping prisoner.The prisoner's eyes suddenly flew wide open. They stared blankly down at me, not saying a single word."Can you believe this guy?" I asked Ezra. "Is he a clone or something?""Don't touch him!" the guard ordered harshly. "Get back."I frowned as I backed away. I tur
"Do you think she's actually going to help us?" I whispered softly. "If we can convince her to, yes." Ezra nodded."But how are we going to convince her?" I asked worriedly. "She doesn't seem the type who takes kindly to threats. She's ruthless.""We'll think of something." Ezra promised.I sighed deeply."What's wrong?" he asked."It's just…" I bit my lower lip nervously. "I'm so scared."He grabbed onto my hand and squeezed it gently. "It'll be alright."After another minute of silence, Ezra released my hand. We both started walking back towards the cabin."Hey." I called out quietly."Yes?""I want you to promise me something.""Anything."I glanced at him and gave him a soft smile."Promise me, no matter what happens. Promise me that you won't turn into a droid."He frowned. "Why would you ask me such a thing?""Because I care about you." I stated. "Because I love you. And I'm afraid that if you become a machine, I'll never be able to see you again. I can't lose someone else. N
"How is going with our greatest rival, the Palermo mafia? I always waiting all the good news from it, I want to destroy them and makes the Salvatore Mafia empire the most stronger in this country." Ezra said to his soldier.Everytime I heard him talk about it, I really feels so bad, I really so worried about Riccardo, but I can't do anything, I hope I can escape from Ezra because he still kidnapped me here, and makes me becomes his wife.I don't know what to expect from Riccardo, he's a scary man when you look at him, but I guess Riccardo must have found out about me being alive so he tried everything to get me back.The only thing I know is that I need to make Riccardo pay for what he did to me..."Your Highness, are you ready?"He just nodded before looking out the window, the sky had changed from blue to red and it was getting late. He didn't wait for any more response before jumping down to the ground.This was the first time I'm seeing how strong he truly is, I feel intimidated j
"Did you enjoy yourself, Alessia?" He asked when we reached our car."Of course, it was really delicious!" I responded giving him a big smile. "Do you want to go somewhere else instead?""Sure, but we need to return home, you might need to change clothes first""Right" I said. "Then lets go to a shopping mall!" I said excitedly."If you want, we can buy you new outfits" He agreed.So we went to a shopping mall, we got dresses, pants, socks, shoes and hair clips and makeup for ourselves, but we bought some other things too. I really liked the color of the dress I got yesterday, it was purple. I never knew that you could wear purple in Italy, but the shade of it was really beautiful.After we got out of the store, I decided to go to the restroom because I needed to change out of my clothes. After taking a bath and changing out of my clothes, I headed to Ezra's room to change my outfit.I took off the dress I was wearing and put on the pink shirt he gave me, I was wearing black pants
