CHAPTER FOUR:GHOSTS OF CHILDHOOD

“Lock her up and make sure she never comes out”.

She replayed his cold voice over and over in her head as tears dripped down her cheeks.

She sat by the window as the sun dipped behind the towering compound walls, looking like a reminder of her sorrows as its shadows went down.Beyond these walls were laughter, freedom and mainly peace.

Why was she being punished all her life??

Was this her fate??

Sitting by the window with knees drawn all the to her chest,she watched the “Boss”.

Her Dominic drive away from the compound to God knows where.

He had glanced like she was nothing but thin air sitting there.She didn't do anything to him,why was he being so cold?

Yet despite his coldness,she felt attached.

A knock came on the door,Aria gasped in shock as Lala barged in.

She smiled sympathetically at Aria but then the boss had ordered all not to talk to her.She simply dropped the tray of food and left as instructed.

Aria stared at the food, it's been two days since she was taken…No bath,no food and here was a temptation she wasn't going to ignore.

If it was Poisoned,she would eat it like that.

She slowly took the tray and she walked to her seat to devour it.The food was mouth-watering,she hadn't had this kind of food for years.

Flashback

“Aria where did you go to?”Dominic thundered.

“Calm down,dom…I only went to the cafe to get drinks”Aria smiled, raising her brows teasingly.

“Did you forget I won't always be here to protect you from Ryan, I've told you to stop walking alone Aria!!!..Stop making me worry!”Dominic yelled.

His voice echoed in the boy's closet as his nostrils flared in anger.

Aria blinked reapeatedly “I’m sorry..I..I never meant to go alone, just wanted to get something…”She didn't complete her sentence before bursting into tears as she ran out of the closet.

“Aria wait…”Dominic yelled running after her

“I didn't mean to say it that way,I was just worried”his voice turning softer.

She hated when he did that,he never knew the effects he had on her when he did it.

“You sound just like my dad”She whispered. He inhaled sharply,he could do anything but one thing he didn't want to remind her of was her dad.

“I’m sorry”he apologized and she nodded.

“You didn't mean what you said right,not being here forever?…you promised to stay and..and..and”She sniffled.

“I will be here for you Aria…no matter what”He said as he kissed her neck.

Her breath hitched.

And the veins in his length tightened.

“C’mon we need to leave”he said firmly as they walked out.

That was 7 years before he disappeared.

• • •DOMINIC'S POV• • •

She appears now after 9 years, looking like a soft chaos in human form,a slow-burning sin,the kind of danger you shouldn't keep yet it stays in your head tormenting you everywhere you go.

Her cat-like honey coloured eyes with thick eyelashes that makes it hard to see her tears,long waist-length curly hair,high cheekbones and round face with a button nose.That petite figure he would recognize anywhere.

The first image he had jerked to,the bulge in his pants grew large as he shifted uncomfortably at the backseat of his car.

That was Aria Russo,his childhood lover who her never had the chance to tell her how much she affected him before duty called.His father never gave him the opportunity to do so.

Alessandro Aurelian.His fucking father who he would kill if he had the chance to.

That man ruined his life and turned him into the monster he was or the one people saw him as. He never wanted this kind of life and tried countless times to run away from it but still…..

His father's words kept echoing in his ears“Blood never lies Amabile”

He hated the name as much as he hated his father.His mother wasn't alive to witness all this which was his joy and pain.

She went mental from having to deal with all the drama and chaos from his father, step-brother and step-mother.

Dominic had wanted a free life from the underworld but fate had it's way of doing things or should he say his father had his way of doing things. He had to leave Aria….

For her own safety.

Everything he did was for her safety.

Meanwhile in the clan a humming girl in the bathroom,Aria tried hard to open the door to see if maybe another miracle could happen to no avail. She had walked up and down the room but couldn't find anything but books in the shelves.

She had heard whispers of the maids who came to clear her room.

“How come?”

“The boss ordered it.”

“She’s off-limits.”

“Don’t ask questions.”

“The boss shouldn't be questioned Tracy”

And they didn't show their dissatisfaction seeing her as they cleared up.

Under the shower Aria's tears never stopped flowing.

She remembered a day her father had flogged her for crying about Dominic's disappearance.

“Crying for a boy, absolutely useless…..just like your useless mother”he growled.

Aria just couldn't keep Dominic out of her head no matter how much she tried to and now that her past was interfering with her present,it was harder.

MEANWHILE……….

“Yes,yes…fuck me harder master…I'm all yours daddy”The girl in red net and mask screamed.

Even the noise of the club couldn't shut down her moaning nor her master's grunting.

“Open that sweet honeypot wider puppy”he smirked as he banged her.

”Love the way I fuck your pussy?”

”Ahhh!!..Yes master,faster pleasssee”.

He chuckled and flipped her over as he invaded her asshole with his full length.

She yelled in pure delight as her knees quivered.

Rolling her eyes backwards as she came on him hard.

“Weak”he muttered.

“Let me do the honors sire”her partner purred seductively as her mouth connected with his dick,he immediately threw his head backward in pleasure.

This was the life he wanted.

The light came clear on his face,blue crystal eyes and black raven hair, muscular build of 6 feet and looking like a mafia-demigod. No wonder he always had girls on deck.

A phone in his pocket rang,he fisted the redhead on her feet as she steadied himself.

“What news now fucker!!”he yelled.

“Sir…your flight to Italy is ready"The voice at the end of the phone spoke.

“Good job Marco,good job”he replied and ended the call.

It was time to go and take what belonged to him and there was no stopping this time around.

“Dominic”he growled darkly.
