You're mine now" said Riccardo coldly with an evil grin as he layed his body on the black leather seat as the car drove off A scared Camila started to gain her strength, with a sore voice she reached out to the window and started screaming loudly while her hands forcefully tried to open the locked door as they drove off the estate" she felt hopeless as there were no body guards at the gates to stop them, that's because Riccardo had killed them first Little girl you better sit still and shut your mouth!! he yelled annoyed forcefully trying to grab her hands, Camila responded my kicking him in the stomach causing him to groan in pain" Riccardo did not take her kick lightly, he responded by giving her a tight slap on her face that left her paralyzed Look little girl I'm taking you home from now on you're my captive, listen to me carefully" he said threateningly you're never ever going to see your family again you better put that in that thick brain of yours the sooner you accept it the better" he said pointing his finger at her Never!! screamed Camila reaching for the door again but Riccardo grabbed her hands pinning her against the leather seats Don't think I won't kill you he said dangerously close to her face" Camila did not flinch as she stared at him back hatred burning in her heart not intimidated by his threats" vengeance was the only thing she could think of as the image of her mother laying dead on the cold floor replayed on her mind non stop If I were you I would drop that attitude of yours little girl" What's your name!! he asked twisting her arm Ahh!! she screamed in pain as tears left her puffy eyes that were already swollen red from all the crying I'm not going to ask you again!! what's your name he yelled taking out his gun and pointing it on her forehead Camila" she said crying out in pain Camila" he repeated the name but it sounded disturbing coming out of his lips You have an ugly name little girl I don't like it how about I give you a new one he said with an evil grin pausing for a moment" from now on your name is Violet De Luca he said stroking her hair causing her to flinch in disgust Do you like it he asked looking at her, but she turned her head to the side ignoring him completely" I asked you a question Violet do you like your new name!! he asked dangerously grabbing her jaw forcing her to look at him as he pointed his gun on her forehead Yes, yes I do" she said her voice low and trembling as more tears came out of her eyes Good then" he said sitting back on his seat with a satisfied smile playing on his lips ******** Find her shouted Francesco in panic as he searched the whole estate for Camila who had suddenly disappeared" in the back of his mind he knew that Riccardo had to have a hand in it but he didn't want to believe it , he blamed himself for being so careless he shouldn't have taken his eyes off her Boss said Seth as he ran inside" have you checked the CCTV footage he asked looking at him Yes I have but you're not going to like it he said looking at him" Spill it Seth I don't have a second to waste he said losing his patience scared at the thought of something happening to her Where is she he asked running his hand through his hair That bastard Riccardo took her said Seth looking at Francisco No, no no!!
