"And you love Niccolo?"Cesare asked the woman sitting across him in a room with books stood on the shelves on the wall.Smell of cigarette in the air

"Very much sir"She replied in great desire

"Then are you willing to live this life for him?"

"Yes"She replied instantly

"Then you will be married to him in a week Miss Gravis"

I once pictured a life with this woman sleeping in my arms but I was a fool to think I am able to do that.I forgot I do not own myself,I am a puppet who is programmed to follow orders only.

The door swung open and Adis came rushing in

"They're here"she said in a glassy eyes

I looked at Andrea woken up beside me stood up and looked through the window and saw people staying at the building and the owners outside with their eyes hands and legs bound while Cesare's men sorrounded the place

Andrea looked at me with dreading eyes

"Game time is over son"Cesare sounded entering the room

"Take them"he ordered and men came in,I pulled Andrea behind me then threw a punch at anyone who approached

BAAANG!then I felt a sharp pain in my leg

"Niccolo!"I heard Andrea scream,My eyes looked at her,she didnt scream because she is bounded by the men but she was worried of me being shot

We were dragged out even Adis and into a separate cars

"Do not hurt her Cesare"I pleaded to Cesare who sat beside me

"I warned you but you didnt listen to me son"he merely replied

We were taken to a building and there I saw Andrea her eyes covered.We were seated on a chair

I struggled to get to her but I only cause my chair to fall

"Don't hurt her Cesare"I said looking firmly at Cesare"I will do whatever you say"

He merely stood tall and laughed

"Looking at one of my men who used to stand tall and powerful,on the ground like this...pathetic and shameful!"he gritted in his teeth

"This ends now"he said taking out his gun and pointing it at Andrea

My eyes circled and did my best to struggle free from the rope bounding my hands on my back,I felt the rope cut my skin but I still tried keeping my eyes on Andrea crying in Fear.After I freed my hand I quickly untied my legs

I started to run to her with my shot legs

Fuck!

I cursed looking at it,blood running down to my shoes

BAAANG!

I felt something hit the back of my head causing me to halt and fall on the ground.My sight was blurring but I still pushed to crawl to her but everything went black

No!

Is this it?the end?

She asked as she sat on the chair

She cried listening to Niccolo's voice but then it stopped

It filled her with intense fear

She turned her head even if she was blinded

"Niccolo?"She tried saying even if her mouth was covered

"Remove it"Cesare ordered

The light stung her eyes but it quickly adjusted.The first thing she searched for was Niccolo and there she saw him laying on the floor unconscious

"Niccolo!"She cried as she tried to go to him but Cesare held the chair looking straight at her eyes silencing her in fear

"This ends now Miss Frause"He said pointing the gun at her

She felt fear she could ever imagine,her mind starting to question what it feels like to die.She started to wander her eyes around and saw five men including Cesare in an old buliding. She started to think about her parents,her sister...Louie and Dafil

Cesare wanted to pull the trigger but he can't it angers him greatly that those golden eyes brings Felicity in his mind.

He can't do it...He is seeing Felicity before him and he is pointing his gun towards her

Those eyes are still his weakness it appears...

"Everyone get out "he said and the men followed carrying Niccolo

Her golden eyes followed them as they disappear for she knows it will be the last time she will see him

"I met a woman before...She was my weakness...I thought I forgot her but I was wrong,those eyes are same as hers and that's the reason I can not shoot you."Cesare spoke

You know how he feels and yet you want to do this?

If only her lips weren't covered...

But she thought about his words

He moved to remove the clothing covering her lips

"Felicity?Felicity is someone special to you"she voiced her question

Cesare nodded in a bitter smile

"I loved her but she didn't love me...I saved her and daughters but she still turned me away when they had no one..."

Then his tattoos she saw made sense it was a vague memory of him saving them from their father

"I hate it that I feel like Im pointing the gun at her when I do it to you"He said making her chest lighten knowing he can not pull himself to kill her but that doesn't mean he surely wont bury a bullet in her head

He was silent for a moment

"Miss Frause,you are to leave this place and hide.Let your Identity go,by sunrise Andrea Frause will be declared dead,killed by a group of mafia..."

"Are you letting me go?"she asked

"I'll be sending you to a place where you will be hidden,I will take down every restaurant you have you are not to show yourself to your family or friends"

she gasped,she worked hard to build those...she will not see my family again? but she stayed silent

"...Every strand that man will follow to find you."

It was painful but she accepted everything he said.She is alive yet full of sorrow

"And as for Davide I have a plan for him you are to forget him,I have my eyes everywhere the moment I see you again I will definitely kill you"

His warning was sure

"I cannot see my family and friends?Mr.Cesare please kill me now"she said

What is the use of living when everything was taken away from you

He chuckled

"Do not forget the moment a mafia showed kindness to you,do not waste it"

He unbounded her and she stood and she spoke

"Can I ask for a favor Cesare?"she asked with the courage she gathered

He was silent

"Can I say goodbye to him?"she gulped staring at his scary daring eyes

"I just told you to forget him and here you are asking to see him?do you not give my kindness any importance?"he asked

"I beg you please everyone is taken away from me I beg you to please let me see him before I go"

"He will be informed of your death the moment he wakes up"he said then left

"Adis will take you to the airport you will be taken to a country,a house will be provided for you"He said the exited"Oh but dont worry you will see your family again"he

She was shocked and looked at him

"When my men breaks it to them that you died.you will be there watching...you're welcome"he said then continued to walk

she sat on the floor as everything sunk in

Im alive...but I will live another identity,I will not talk to my friends and family...

She started to cry in pain.She didnt think she was happy to be spared,she would chose to die than hear the cries of the people close to her while she stood there in watch

Is this really kindness?

***

"Please Adis let me see him"she pleaded

Adis smiled

"Why do you think he chose me to escort you?he knows I will let you"she laughed

"What?"she asked in surprise

"He is in his office come on but you will only be allowed to only look at him"She said while they drove to his building.

Thats's good enough for me

She thought

She smiled widely in bitter happiness while she put on her hoodie concealing her hair,sunglasses for her eyes and a mask ror her lips

Her heart pounded as the elevator stopped at the very top floor

"Remember to ONLY PEEK INSIDE"Adis reminded her

she nodded although she doesnt trust herself to keep herself composed,she might run to him the moment she saw him

Ana's table was empty.She continued to walk,the door was already cracked open

Her heart pounded as she peeked in

"We are getting married soon!"Ana exclaimed then kissed Romano who's facing his back on her

Married?What?How?

She took steps back asking these questions

She wiped her tears and walked to Adis standing by the elevator

"What's wrong?"she asked

"Adis lets go"
