Elle's POV

I just came out of the bathroom, I expected it wouldn't take more than 15 minutes, they overthinked

"You come with me, and don't talk too much!" said a man angrily, he then grabbed me roughly.

"Luca?" "I said don't talk!" he said gruffly as he pulled me into a room.

According to my hearing he said don't talk much instead of don't talk, right?

"Let go of my hand, it hurts!" I said begging him

"SHUT UP!" he said and took me off roughly, my arm hurt a lot, and I immediately saw my arm. It's bruised now

Luca took my arm back but gently this time, he checked it. His gaze looked like he felt very guilty and sad.

He was so drunk, I could smell his breath

"I'm sorry. Does it hurt? Surely, I am insolent, right?" he said sadly and guiltily

"I'm all right, so what's up?" I said, stroking my bruised arm

Then he walked around in the other direction, and put both hands in his trouser pockets

"Who are you here with?" he asked, holding back his anger

"With my family," I said softly and fearfully

"BULLSHIT, then who is the man you were with earlier?" he said angrily, I flinched backwards

"He's Matteo Fernandez, my best friend," I said honestly

"Your friends huh? You guys look romantic," he said in a venom tone

"Yes, we were friends at school ba-" 

"You know, when I wanted to save you back from the hostages of the Rossi, I found the place destroyed, and you were not there. Turns out you've returned with your family, but I heard that you were treated very badly bad by the Rossi. At that time I was ready to bring hell to them, and I did. Unfortunately Alessandro survived. Now I know why you are so vulnerable, you are weak "he said in a harsh tone and mounting anger.

I'm weak, I'm vulnerable

"You see, not long after you were raped, you were playing with another man. So cheap, don't you have any pride? Even a Natie can protect her pride, lucky she chose to die" he said angrily too.

I'm cheap, I can't keep my pride.

"You're like a whore, going from man to man. From me then to Alessandro, then Matteo. All my rivals" he said in a very evil and hateful manner.

His words hit me like a hot sword stabbed at me, making my heart explode various emotions I can't explain. I thought it was a dream, I thought it wasn't real, But pain really hurts and it's really how I feel. Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the tears.
