Domenico's POV

Where is she? Why isn't she here? With me..

Last night at the party she said she would go a little outside. She was getting late so I got outside to look for her, but she wasn't there anymore. She was gone. I asked my men to check all the perimeters of the building , but she was nowhere to be seen. I have still men looking out for her. I think I'm losing it, getting soft. It has been only twelve hours since the last time I saw her and I don't like the fact I can't feel her around me. I.. miss her? No, no this is crazy, but... but she is not here and I want her by my side.

I do miss her, I hope she is okay and if someone would dare to lay a finger on her I am going to kill him. Slowly and painfully.

I want to know she is safe with me....

My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in!"-I say and Alessandro comes in.

"Where is she?"-I ask him.

"We don't know yet, but we might have a clue."

"What do you mean you don't know yet? Might? I cannot be based on a simple might. I want to know where she is and I need to know it now."-I say. I don't want to look so worried in their eyes, but I can't help it I am boiling right now.

"Okay Domenico don't worry, as I said we have a clue. Someone said they have seen a woman with Dianora's dress being carried by a man with a snake ring. You know whose people wear a snake ring?"-Alessandro says and than it is clear.

"Massimo... Of course. Quel maledetto!" He is my enemy since I took most of his territory. He is miserable now. He doesn't have the power he used to have and well, he hates me. People like us have a lot of enemies.

"I should have killed him on the first place, instead I left him there, embarrassed and miserable. I thought that would be worse than death and a very good punishment for all the terrible things that man has done to other people, like women and kids. I was wrong. But that's a mistake I am not thinking of doing again. The first stupid thing he did was thinking he could get his revenge, the second worse thing was kidnapping Dianora. Now he is dead! I will kill quel figlio di putana!"

"There is a problem. We don't know his location."-Alessandro says.

"That won't be a problem. There are reasons I am who I am Alessandro. One of them is that I can find some people when I want to. It doesn't matter if they are ghosts, or people no one has ever heard of. For me? They are there in the plain sunshine."-I say and as a matter of fact I know just where to find them...

__________________________________________

"Where is he?"-I ask the man sitting in the chair. He was bleeding and I was holding the knife that had caused those wounds.

"Please, just kill me!"-the man says and I could tell he was giving up. I can't let him die without telling me where she is and I liked the fact this man was loyal.

"Listen. I will make you a deal. You tell me where that coglione is and I will gladly end your life, if not the next place this knife goes is your eye."-I say.

"Fine... He.. he has a house in the east side. He is probably keeping her there. It's a white house."-he says with his remaining strength.

"You did well. Now is my time to complete my side of the deal."-I say and take a gun from one of my man's hand.

"I always keep my word."-I say shooting Massimo's man in the head.

I go to my room, wash my hands and change. I will find her, protect her from everything and never let her go..

I go downstairs and see my man ready:

"Andiamo uomini, abbiamo posti per essere." (Let's go men, we have places to be.)

Dianora's POV

"Don't you hate him?"-Massimo asks looking me in the eye.-"I know he killed your father, so you must hate him. Just think about it, you will have your revenge, the chance to see him suffer and your properties back."

He is lying, why does he think I am going to trust him? I saw how he cold blooded killed one of his loyal men. And he is going to kill me after he is done.

"He did what he thought was good at the moment."-I say, not wanting to have a deal with him.

He looks at me for a while and than laughs:

"You are on his side? What? Did he fucked you good? He always had a way with women, but you too? Maybe I should admire him, not hate him. I mean killing your father and than fucking you. Genius."

I couldn't stand that insult anymore so I slapped him. He stands a little bit.. shocked and than looks at me. He seemed mad, very mad. Before I could realize he slaps me across the face. The snake ring he had on cuts the side of my lip, it started bleeding. Than he grabs my face and comes closer to me.

"Listen putana don't you ever do that again, I won't think twice about killing you and since you are Domenico's beloved it will be my pleasure, here you do as I say. Capichi?"

I shake my head in response. I couldn't help it, but feel scared and tears start falling from my eyes. I could see it in his eyes.. This man was mad, a psychopath. I was kind of glad Domenico took the power from him, I don't want to think what would he had done.

Massimo leaves the room and closes the door.

----_____________________----

Domenico's POV

We were getting close to the place. I just hope Dianora is okay. Massimo is mad and now that he doesn't have anything, probably worse. The only thing I am worried is her safety.

"We are coming close to the place. Do what you have to do, but do not hurt signora Rossi , whatever the circumstances are she should always be safe and unharmed."-I say to my men as we came in front of the place.

I could see Massimo's men guarding the place. Like that would stop me from getting Dianora back. I put the bullets in my gun and get ready..

_________________________________________

Dianora's POV

My cheek hurts and my lip was still bleeding, it seemed like the cutting was deep. Where is Domenico? What if he thinks I escaped? He doesn't know they kidnapped me.

I... I want to be with him. He was right there are worst monsters in this world and I am staying in the house of one. I am scared, I want to feel Domenico's touch that made me feel warm and safe. Where is he?..

Suddenly I hear a noise, it sounded like a gunshot. I go to the window and see black Lamborghinis and a Range Rover. Wait... those are Domenico's cars. He and his men are finally here!

The gunshots were getting louder and I could see someone was coming closer. Than the noises stop.. I was getting anxious and scared. What if Domenico is hurt? Did they kill him?

My thoughts are interrupted by an even bigger noise. The noise of the door breaking down. I cover my face with my hands, and than I take them off slowly.

There, in the entrance of the room was standing Domenico. He starts running towards me. He comes closer and hugs me, I finally felt safe and warm in his arms. Than he looks at me, he could see my eyes full of tears.

"Oh mio Dio! Are you okay? What did he do to you? I WILL KILL HIM!"-he says and I could see the rage in his face.

After that moment Alessandro comes in.

"Did you find him?"-Domenico asks.

"No, it seems like he escaped. Well not for long."-Alessandro says holding his gun.

"No, of course not, I will find him now."-Domenico says and carries me to Alessandro.-"Protect her with your life! Kill anyone who tries to harm her."-he says leaving me.

"Don't go!"-I scream.

"He can't hear you signora. His anger has taken over him right now. We have to go."-Alessandro says to me.

"He is going to kill him."-I say.

"Don't think about it now."-Alessandro says and takes me out of the room.

As soon as we come out there is a man trying to shoot at us, but Alessandro manages to shoot first leaving him dead.

I was getting afraid, and sick from all the dead bodies and the blood on the floor.

"Come on!"-Alessandro says and we get out.

Outside were all of our men, it seemed like no one was harmed. After that Domenico comes out. He was furious.

"I didn't find him. That SON OF A BITCH MANAGED TO ESCAPE DEATH FROM MY HANDS AGAIN!!!"

"Me? No. It's you the one who is going to die tonight."-we hear Massimo's voice.

We turn our heads to look at him.

"Domenico Del Vecchio. The new head of the mafia. The owner of this island. The man who took my power in one night. I have waited so long for this moment. It would be a pleasure killing you with my own hands."-Massimo says and Domenico runs towards him with his fist ready.

Domenico hits Massimo and pushes him to the ground, but Massimo manages to kick him between his legs making him fall. Than he hits him, but Domenico pulls himself together and punches him hard.

"Somebody do something!"-I say

"There is nothing we can do signora, if we shoot Domenico might get hit."-Alessandro says.

Massimo hits Domenico in the face, but Domenico punches him and kicks him in the stomach. After that Massimo is in the ground and Domenico on top of him hitting with his fists non stop. Massimo's face was bloody, but Domenico wasn't stopping. In that moment I saw something that scared me: pure evil. There was evil in Domenico's eyes, the same evil I saw in his eyes the night I meet him. I couldn't stand looking at him like that. His punches were taking Massimo's soul, he was killing him with his hands.

"Domenico stop, please stop."-I begged him crying, but he wasn't listening.-"Please don't do this."

He wasn't listening to me, it felt like his mind wasn't even in here. He was only concerned in killing Massimo.

I take a step forward. Alessandro tried to stop me, but I wasn't going to listen.

I get close to Domenico and grab his arm. In that moment he stops, turns his head around and looks at me.

"Don't do this."-I say, tears going down my cheeks.

"I can't let him live. I don't do that."-he says, than he takes the gun and shoots him in the head....
