"How___"

She closed her eyes in frustration, it was useless to ask him how did he get in.

"How are you feeling now?..."

He asked and florina couldn't believe that she saw concern on his face, for a second but it was there.

"Who told you that I am not feeling well?..."

She asked scooting away from him.

"Did you eat..."

He completely ignored her question.

Florina stood up with a frown.

"Please leave... You can't break into my apartment like this. I have nothing to do with you after that day and I have made myself clear last night... Please leave..."

Vincenzo didn't replied as he walked out. Florina followed his movements thinking he was really leaving but instead he took of his coat and placed it on the sofa. Vincenzo picked up the food which Sebastian has send and threw it in the dustbin making Florina gasp, she despised the waste of food as she did thought of eating it afterwards.

She saw vincenzo setting the food on the dining table which he brought. After finishing that he walked towards her while she backed up.

"Come... You need to eat..."

"I am not hungry... I don't want anything from you. From both of you. Please leave me alone..."

She yelled in frustration.

Vincenzo pinched the bridge of his nose and take out the gun from his waistband which made Florina go completely stiff.

"I won't repeat myself..."

He warned.

"You won't kill me..."

She stated trying to be brave.

Vincenzo stepped closer until she was against the wall while he was inches away from her.

"I won't... I'll shoot your leg then I'll make you eat while you are bleeding and then I'll treat your wound. You won't be able to walk for the next two or three months let alone run away from this city..."

Florina's breathing increased.

'He knew... He knew that I was planning to escape...'

She slowly lowered her gaze and the gun in his hand caught her attention. novelbin

'No... Don't do it florina. It won't end up good...'

Her inner voice warned but she did it anyway.

Florina snatched the gun from his hand and pointed towards him. Vincenzo stood there unfazed looking at her trembling hands which were holding the gun poorly.

He held his hand infront of her.

"Give it back... It's not a toy..."

"Go away... Leave... Can't you understand that I don't want you, I don't want this..."

She yelled frustratingly while tears escaped from her already swollen eyes.

"I'll ask nicely piccolo... Give it back, if I had to take it from you then trust me you will be in a very big problem..."

He said gently like he understands from what she is going through but she wasn't ready to believe him.

Within a blink of an eye Vincenzo snatched the gun from her hands like it's nothing. Fear took over her as she lost her last source of security. A sob escaped her mouth thinking that he will now hurt her. She flinched back when Vincenzo reached her.

"I d_don't___"

"Quiet..."

He glared at her as he grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the dinning table. Sitting down vincenzo pulled her on his lap.

"I said quite... If I see one more tear then I'll give you more reasons to cry. You want that?..."

Florina wiped her face and sat uncomfortably on his lap. Vincenzo brought the spoon to her lips and she gulped the food looking at the warning glare he was giving her. He patiently fed her and was amused watching how she was holding her tears back.

'She is scared the fuck out for her life and still had the audacity to snatch my gun... Stupid girl, no wonder she always gets herself in troubles.'

After finishing her food Vincenzo gave her medicines for her fever and headache but didn't let her get out of his lap.

"How are you feeling now?..."

He asked gently fixing her wild hair.

"Why are you doing this... It shouldn't matter right?... It was just for one night and we had___"

Vincenzo placed his hand on her lips, stopping her stuttering.

"I am not a good man piccolo fiore... I do not like to talk much and repeating myself makes me want to kill. So this the last time I am warning you, stop saying that you don't want me... I don't like it..."

His mischievous voice send shivers to her body.

"Stop fighting...Understand?... I don't like when someone disrespects me and the little stunt you pulled in the bedroom was very bad, you are very lucky. I would have killed that person on the spot..."

He caressed her cheek but all she could feel is fear. His changed dementor was very scary and unlike the Vincenzo she witnessed on their first night.

"What do you want me to do then?..."

She mumbled.

"Be mine... Come to me, choose me..."

He looked at her eyes like he wanted to read her soul.

'Choose him ?...'

She frowned.

"What if I don't want to..."

She asked and his hold on her tightened.

"You have no choice..."

His voice got thicker like he is trying to control himself.

Florina cleared her throat and looked at him.

"You are not the only one... I never intended to get in this kind of situation but it happened..."

Vincenzo was listening her carefully.

"I am not a girl who goes fucking around the mafias... You let me go by yourself, we had no commitment. I wasn't planning to sleep with Sebastian but it happened, it wasn't something special either... Then why are you people doing this to me."

"I shouldn't have let you go... You have no idea how much I regret it..."

He caressed her trembling lips.

"I can't deal with this Vincenzo... I am a normal girl, I have my life to live. The way I want... I don't want the attention of two mafias. I don't want to pay for the things I did in my stupidity..."

Vincenzo sighed.

"You shouldn't have done it... With me or him. Both of us are not good for you. But now you have no way out, you have started a war Florina and it will only end up with you. You have to choose, me or him..."

"What if I choose none..."

She questioned.

"Then... the one who wins will take you..."

He stated.

She scoffed.

"What am I... An object?..."

"For now... You are!... You will be treated like one and trust me you won't like it..."

His words were scaring her more. What exactly are they planning to do.

Vincenzo gestured her to get up and she did. He stood up too.

"Take some rest... I am taking you on a date tomorrow. I'll send you a dress, so don't worry about it..."

Florina closed her eyes frustratingly. Never in her life has she witnessed someone ordering like this for a date.

"I think I have made myself clear... I am not going anywhere. I don't want to be a part of whatever you two are planning to do..."

Vincenzo placed his hands in his pockets and waited for her to finish her talking.

"What do you think you two are doing, Huh?... Sebastian comes and takes care of me like he cares and then threatens me to obey him like I am his pet and now you, you are no different from him... Do whatever you want, you wanna hurt me, do it. Go ahead. I won't do anything you are asking for..."

She finished in one breath.

"Be ready on time otherwise you might have to attend a funeral of your lovely friend, cherry... I don't want to but if you keep behaving like this then I will kill him... Tell me piccolo, do you want that..."

He smirked looking at her horrified expressions.

"No, you won't..."

She looked at him in disbelief.

Vincenzo chuckled and took her tiny hands in his large one.

"Try me..."

He kissed her cheek while she stood their defeated.

"You know what mafias can do... Be a good girl."

He patted her head and picked up his coat to leave.

When he turned around florina stopped him.

"What if I choose Sebastian over you ?..."

Vincenzo turned around with a smirk.

"Then I'll kill you..."
