AORA : His Little Liar

3

Zara.

"Mommy!"

I ran as fast as I could but felt hands stopping me from going closer.
"Z! Stop. I'm so sorry." My Dad forced me to look at him.

"Where are they taking her?!" I screamed.

He looked away for a second.

The faint screams that I recognized as my mother's could still be heard.

"You'll understand it all when you're older." He promised. I snatched my arm away and continued towards my mother.

A few men tried to stop me but I weaved my way past till I got to where my mother was being held.

I gasped in shock. She was brutally bruised and was chained to a pole. The man behind her raised his whip and hit her again. She screamed and I felt my heart break. What is going on?

"What the hell is going on?!" I screamed. My mother panicked to see me here.
"Zara?! Why are you here?!....Go and meet your father baby girl." She pleaded.

"Not without you. Let her go." I said to the man who only laughed at my attempt at bravery.

Deep down I was scared shitless.

"Fierce. I like you." He commented and my mother shook her head vigorously.

"Andrew! Don't you dare touch my daughter!!" She yelled. I backed away.

"Stay right there." He ordered. This was the moment where I was expecting my Dad to rush in and be the hero he is to me but he calmly walked in and stood beside Andrew.

"Mason! Finally. Are you too much of a coward to kill your own wife?"

I couldn't believe my ears. What?

"D-Dad?" I called in a shaky voice. He looked at me and I was so confused to see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Mason leave Zara out of this. She's just a child!!" Every plea made by my mum fell on deaf ears. I watched as my Dad pulled out a gun and aimed it at my mother's head.

With tears in her eyes, Mum looked at me.

"I love you so much." The sound of the gun going off would haunt me for years to come.

"Take her away. Her training starts tomorrow. We are going to make you an even better killer than your mother ever was." Andrew said and I was grabbed.

"NO!"
I jerked away with deep breath as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Uhhh. You okay?" I turned to look at whoever the fuck that was and cursed mentally.

Oh. I'm still in a plane.

I glanced around to see passengers giving me weird looks.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I said to the brown haired and hazel eyed guy beside me.
"Whenever I have nightmares, I just eat. Want some food?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I'm good."

"Water?"

"No. Thanks."

"Neck pillow?"

I gave him a weird look. "Sorry. I'm Jace. I'm just worried is all." He explained.

Jace? I've heard that name before.

"Jace? Hm." I said. He chuckled.

"Casciani." My eyes widen in shock. He merely snickered. "So you've heard about me?" He asked. Not realizing he didn't catch on, I nod.

What a coincidence. I guess my stars are lucky today.

"You're basically on magazines." I gushed trying to sound excited and failing horribly.

"Yeah. It's a lot sometimes. I didn't catch your name." He said and I smiled.

"Zara Davis." He blinked.

"Wow. Beautiful name." He said with a grin. I giggled. "Thanks." I mumbled.

I felt so uncomfortable doing this.

"So where in Italy are you going?" I asked.
"Milan. You?"

"Oh my God! Same!" I lied with a bright smile. I couldn't let him go without tracking him down. I was actually going to take a stop and sky dive to my original location but plans have definitely changed.

"That's cool. You're definitely going to get lost without a chaperone." He teased. I smirked.

"I would, wouldn't I? Maybe I should tag along. You could show me around. I don't really fancy staying in Hotels. Have you got a house there?" I asked leaning a bit closer.

"I do. I stay with a few friends." He said and I pouted. I could win this dude over with a smile.

"You're welcome to stay if you're comfortable enough." He added with a warm smile and I squealed. I acted impulsively and pulled him into a hug. He froze for a second before relaxing and hugging me back.

"Thank you so much. This is going to be one of the best Vacations ever!"

And it actually could.
