Don't Leave Me

Chapter 30

After gaining back my consciousness I opened my eyes in fear. I looked around panicked and realized that I was in a cold dark brick room which looked like a cell. My wrist were in cuffs that painfully digged into my skin. Nothing besides a thin mattress that I was laying on, a toilet and a sink was in the cell. My head was still hurting from the object that was forcefully smashed on it.

As my fingers went to the wound I felt blood still dripping to the ground and the dizziness never went away. Looking around again I found a water bottle and gulped down all of the liquid.

Suddenly the door was pushed open. As it hit the door and made a loud bang I flinched. Then a man entered the cold room with aggressive footsteps. It was no other than Lorenzo Russo. The moment he entered I knew what he wanted. He wanted me dead and Matteo stepping down or dead as well.

"Hello Ms. Potters. It's nice too see you again.", he said as he squatted down in front of me.
"It's a shame I can't say the same.", I stated.
"Has your dear boyfriend not taught you any manners?", he asked looking angry while hauling my hair in a painful grip.
"Looks like your mother failed at the same task.", I spat back.

The next thing I felt was his fist connecting with my cheek and almost dislocating my jaw. My head flew to the side and my cheek started burning a second after he punched me. Then he grabbed my chin harshly to adjust my gaze back on him.

"You know you're so hot. It's a shame I don't force women to fuck me.", he whispered in my ear. His statement made me shiver and I felt like throwing up. How can someone be this disgusting?

"What about Matteos deal?", I asked him.
"It was a good one. But it's not as good as destroying the most successful Italian mafia and taking their place. Your life will be a sacrifice worth making."
"You messed with the wrong people on the wrong day!", I threatened him.
"Oh believe me I planned this for a couple weeks now. Nobody will find us and as soon as Matteo falls I will be the most successful mafia leader from all the families that attended the ball. Which means they will listen if I tell them to bow down.", he stated confidentially. Then he stood up and turned around to leave.

"He will come for you."
"Do you think he'll get here in time? I'm not going to kill you right now. You'll have to suffer for being disrespectful to me and being the reason my best man died. Matteo knows if he finds this place and tries to get you he will start a war.", Russo said with a deep voice.
"You started a war by taking me.", I told him with a smirk on my face. He will eventually die and even if I'm dead by then I know that Russo gets what he deserves.
"Don't think too high of yourself. You think Matteo cares so much about you? Please, you're just an average bitch. Replaceable."

With that statement he left the room. I was laying on the mattress staring at the ceiling as dark thoughts consumed me.

Replaceable. He's right I am replaceable and average. I'm not special. Matteo doesn't love me. Maybe after all he did just want my body for his pleasure. But he seemed so caring. I thought he actually liked me and wanted to be with me. After all he said it himself. I should stop letting Russos words get to my head. Russo wants to see me miserable and loosing my trust to Matteo. But I won't.

I will continue to hope. Matteo will come. Even if he might be too late I know he will try everything to save me. He's the one person that promised me to never leave me again. And he's a man of his word.

The only thing I regret is not telling Matteo that I love him. Maybe I won't ever get the chance to. Closing my eyes I tried to get some sleep since my head was still hurting and I was feeling weak.

Matteos POV

"Where's Emily?", Cristian asked me.
"She went to the restrooms ten minutes ago.", I answered.
"What is she doing in there for so long?", he asked confused.
"I don't know. I guess girls stuff or whatever.", I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Or she's in there with a guy."
"Cristian don't fucking provoke me. I'm going to check on her now. You can come along if you like too see for yourself that she is not cheating on me.", I stated angrily.
"You trust each other a lot, right?"
"Yes we do.", I said while we were walking towards the restrooms.
