"Years ago, when I was only six years old, I would always get bullied and picked on for being ugly and not smart like all the others. But one day, when they took it too far and made me bleed, a boy saved me, he stood up for me, he scared the bullies away. We introduced each other and he told me his name was Dante Romano. We became best friends instantly, we were inseparable, we did everything together and he never left my side. He even told me about his father and how he treated him horribly, yes,Dante and I were best friends when we were young. Years later when we were thirteen, his father allowed him to take over his business when Dante was of age, but there's a twist. He wasn't just going to give him the mafia to his son, who he hated and neglected, no. Dante was too blinded by power and did what his father told him to do, to have the mafia when he grew older" he explained.

"What did his father make him do?" I asked.

"He ordered Dante to kill my parents. At that time, I had no clue of it. But he did it, Dante killed them in cold blood, for power. My parents were Dante's first kill, but they certainly weren't his last. I later found out by his father, I obviously didn't believe his father, because he was cruel and would do anything to make me hate Dante. So, I confronted Dante about it, he denied it for a long time, but at last he admitted to killing my parents. I was furious, so I made him a promise; he killed the two people I loved the most in my life, so I promised to kill the person he would come to love the most" he finished explaining.

"W-what? No, Dante wouldn't do that, he wouldn't kill in cold blood. But if you promised to kill the most person he would come to love, why kill me?" I asked.

"You really are dumb, aren't you? Dante loves you; he's loved you ever since he laid eyes on you. But he won't admit it because he's afraid, not because he doesn't believe in love, he wants to fall in love actually, more than you think. He won't admit it because he knows I would kill you, because of the promise I made, and here I am today, about to fulfill it" he said, with a smirk.

"You shouldn't have to! You know it isn't his fault! His father ordered him kill your parents!" I yelled.

"You're still defending him? After everything I did to you; because of his mistakes!" he yelled.

"Then kill me!" I yelled.

"Oh, I will, after I make you suffer, for all Dante did to me. But don't worry, you'll be dead in the next month maybe. And then you can say hello to my parents" he said.

"I'll tell them you loved them so much!" I yelled, as he left the room.

I couldn't believe what I had just heard, but I don't really blame Marco, Dante killed his parents in cold blood. But still, I shouldn't be suffering for his mistakes. I can escape! I'm not chained anymore; all I have to do is stand up and run!

I slowly stood up and took my first step forward when a sharp pain from my hip, made me fall face forward. I'm never escaping, I have to expect that I'm going to die here sooner or later.

I hate you Dante...

Dante POV:

It's been three weeks now since Ella's been kidnapped and I still have no trace of where she is, I barely eat or sleep, I just want her safe with me.

"Dante, another video of Ella came in" Alessandro said, walking in with the USB in his hands.

"I don't want to watch Ella get beaten up!" I yelled.

"I know, I just wanted to tell you. So, have you found any leads to her?" Alessandro asked.

"Not a clue, I just hope I'll find her soon, because I can't put up with this anymore" I said.

"This is your fault you know that, right?" Alessandro asked.

"You think I don't know! Of course, this is my fault, all of this is my fault! If I never fell in love with her, this would never have happened, if I just stayed away from her" I yelled.

"Then keep blaming yourself, instead you actually get up and do something to get her back!" Alessandro yelled, before leaving.

I tossed my head back, "I'm sorry Ella, I'm so sorry" I stuttered, with a tear.

Ella POV:

I woke up again, still alive, not dead. I don't even know if I'm grateful or not that I'm not dead yet. I can't deal with the pain they put me through anymore, I just want him to kill me, so I don't have to keep going through this.

"Good morning" a guy said, walking and standing beside my bed.

"What do you want?" I asked. It's not like I don't know, he's here to beat me up again.

"I'm here to put you to sleep, good night" he said, injecting me with something.

"Wait-!" I yelled, before everything went black.

I woke up again, it was now night because a window was open in the new room I was in, and no light was entering through it. How long have I been asleep for? And where am I? Suddenly the room's door, creaked open and in walks Marco.

"Where am I? And what's going on?" I asked, trying to move, but my chained hands made me unable to do so.

"First of all, good morning. You've been asleep for about seven hours now. And we're back in Italy" he replied.

"What are we doing back in Italy?" I asked.

"I wanted you to see Italy one last time, before I kill you tomorrow morning" he replied.

"Wow. About time, don't you think?" I asked.

"Enjoy your last few hours on earth" he said, with a smirk before leaving the room.

Wow, after many failed attempts of suicide in the past, he's finally going to do it for me. He's going to end my misery. I get to leave this cruel earth in a few hours. I smiled at the thought of finally being dead, and how no one will end up missing me.

Goodbye cruel world...

Dante POV:

I was in my office again, trying to find any trace of Ella, and where she could be. I was shuffling through papers on my desk, when suddenly a thought came into my head. My dad! I got up and ran out to the main lounge, and Alessandro was there, drinking.

"Where the hell are you going, at this hour?" he asked, stopping me from leaving.

"I'm going to kill my father. He's the one who started all of this and who made my life a living hell, and I'm going to go and get my revenge on him!" I yelled.

"Are you insane? You're going to get yourself killed!" he yelled.

"I don't care, he's going to pay for everything he did to me!" I yelled, pushing him out of the way and running out.

Alessandro POV:

"DANTE!" I yelled, as he ran out. I saw someone come downstairs. It was Camilla.

"Where's my brother? I need to talk to him" she said.

"Dante's going to go and get himself killed" I replied.

"What?" she asked, with shock written all over her face.

"He's going to go and kill your father" I replied.

"What? Why?" she yelled, trying to run after him. But I grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"You can't go after him!" I shouted, pulling her towards me.

"We have to stop him!" she yelled, with tears running down her face.



"We can't, the last time he killed his first kill, he was blinded by power. This time, he's blinded by love" I said, hugging her.
