Grace’s POV
I looked at the telephone. I don’t know if he will pick up the call but at least I can try.
But what would I say if he received the call.
Fuck it! I’ll think about it later.
I dialled his number and twisted the bedsheet between my fingers when it connected but he didn’t attend the call.
I waited.
God! What was i even thinking. His family must be calling him, if he hasn’t received their call then who the fuck i am.
I sighed and placed it back in its place.
I just hope that Vlad is not doing anything.
It’s already dark outside and he is still not home. I am getting worried now.
Maybe someone from his family has got an update.
I walked downstairs, Anamika, Bella and Raan are already in the living room.
I couldn’t understand what they were speaking in foreign language but they went silent when they noticed my presence.
“Are you feeling better now, Grace?”
Raan asked looking at me.
“You must be hungry… Go to the kitchen! Staff will help you with dinner…”
I don’t want to eat right now because my stomach is twisting with anxious thoughts. And she is worried about my dinner when her brothers are missing. She is so Sweet!
And i am sure that she has a hint that Vlad can be behind it.
“I will eat with you all”
I replied and sat beside Bella. Who is looking devasted. I almost forgot that she is waiting for her husband and father of her child.
“Bella, are you okay?”
I placed gentle hand on her shoulder.
“Yeah!”
She said in her dry voice, she was crying!
I looked at Raan.
“Twins?”
I don’t know how to ask when there is possibility that my brother might have done something.
“There was an accident”
Raan said with a sigh. And my stomach churned when she said that. One accident has ruined my whole life, i don’t know what this one will do.
“Alex is fine but___”
She looked at Anamika, judging her state of mind. Anamika didn’t react, she was looking blankly at the floor.
“But?”
Alex is fine but what about Dom? He was there too. Oh god! Weird fear rouse in my heart.
“Dom?… What about him?”
I asked anxious and all eyes looked at me.
Raan went silent for a second and her silence were punching me in the gut.
“Dom is also okay… Just a little injured…”
Why do i feel like she is lying? But she has no reason to lie to me.
If they are fine then why is everyone so silent and tensed.
Raan and Bella looked at the door when Massimo entered the house but Anamika didn’t like she knew that he is coming. She was still looking at the floor.
As soon as he entered his eyes fell on Anamika, he didn’t react. He calmly looked at us.
“Kids, back to your room. Now!”
He ordered and we all got up.
Raan followed Bella, may be not wanting to leave her alone.
I started walking towards my Room. I glanced back and saw Massimo kneeling in front of Anamika. His hands were on her lap.
He lifted her head and made her look at him.
Seconds passed and she broke down in his arms. May be she was playing a role of strong mother in front of us but she couldn’t hold back when she saw the person who knows how to handle her vulnerable side.
Massimo rubbed her back gently and carried her to their room in bridal style. Anyone can see how much he loves her that even time couldn’t perish their bond.
They are so lucky to have each other.
“Princess!”
I gasped when someone called me from behind.
“Who the fuck are you?”
I looked at the guard who is tall and has long scar running across his cheek.
“I am Your brother’s messanger…”
He said and my eyes widened. Now i am sure that Vlad has something to do with the accident. This man coming here on the same day is not a coincidence.
“Listen carefully!”
He said further.
“Breaking into the Marino mansion is not Easy. Your brother tried but success is doubtful… He can’t help you until and unless you are out of this mansion…”
“Vlad is in Italy?”
I asked.
“He doesn’t need to be here to help you… It will be too risky to all of us…”
He continued talking to me like i am fucking child.
“Tomorrow morning, there will be Change in shift of guards… Guards who handles night duty will replaced by others guards… That’s the best time for you to escape from the main gate because the shift will be in transition… I have some settlement with guard of the front door…. All you have to do is, reach the main gate exactly at 5. 30 am…”
I nodded at him.
“This is our last chance… We have managed to Keep Dominick away from the mansion. Once he comes back it will be impossible to do this again… So make sure you will be there on time…”
He said and walked away before someone see us together.
I was right, Vlad is behind the accident.
Shit!
I just hope Dom is okay.
I went back to the room and climbed on the bed. It’s an golden opportunity to escape but do i want to go back yet.
One of the biggest reason i haven’t tried to escape from here is i wanted to stop my marriage with the man who is in love with someone else.
It’s not that long, Vlad will make me marry him if i go back now. And i am not ready for that. I don’t want to go back in that toxic environment.
This one is also mafia family but here I can see light and happiness not darkness and negativity.
And i didn’t get the time to say goodbye to Dom. I can’t leave without it, what will he think.
Great! I am thinking about the man who kidnapped me and having sex with me just for fun.
Never imagined that my mind will go this much currupt.
I laid on the bed which smells like him. Damn, I wanted him here tonight.
I hugged his pillow and closed my eyes.
And opened when i heard scream.
Night went in a blur, it was broad daylight and i rushed towards the window to see who screamed. It holds pain.
I looked out and saw the same man from last night who was on the floor now.
Massimo was standing there in his signature black suit, folding his hands over his broad chest and cold expressions on his face while watching his men kicking the man who was on the floor.
Did he caught him?
Does he know that he was here to help me?
Is that why he is killing him?
Massimo turned his head and his cold eyes met mine. Cold as ice, holding so much darkness in it. Completely different from the man who was holding her wife like a fragile doll last night.
I gasped and quickly hid behind the curtain, avoiding his penetrating gaze.
He knows!
He knows that i was aware, that i was going to escape and i am the reason behind Twin’s accident.
I tried to calm my breathing as fear rouse in my heart. I don’t trust Massimo with my safety and Dominick is not here to save me.
And i don’t know why i am thinking that Dominick would have protect me because he might do the worse after knowing that i was going to escape.
Shit! What do I do now?
