After cursing him in my mind, I walked to the washroom to take a nice shower. It took me ages to figure out how the shower worked but I managed. I scrubbed the soft loofa against my skin, making me feel ticklish. I giggled and wrapped a towel around me. I walked into the walk in closet and scanned the female clothes section. I chose a white tank top and denim jeans and tied my hair into a messy bun, too lazy to style a hairstyle.

I had to think of ways to escape this idiot.

Usually, I could easily escape my captor because I would be in a warehouse with few guards. But currently I was held captive in a bloody mansion which is surrounded by guards. It was gonna be tough, but not impossible.

I walked out of the room and took an eternity to find the kitchen. I spotted Enzo, Dante and Ysaline already seated around the table.

"Ysa!" I yelled and hugged her.

I was relieved after knowing she was fine and not hurt. I sat down beside her but Enzo raised his brow and patted to the seat beside him.

I glared at him and shook my head.

"Xena. Sit here," He ordered.

"No," I shrugged, leaning back on my chair.

He smirked. "So you wanna do this the hard way, then?"

I didn't reply.

Seeing this, he got up from his chair and strode over to me.

Within a second I was over his shoulder. The blood rushed to my head making me dizzy.

"You asshole! Lemme down!" I yelled, wriggling my legs.

"Of course, love," He said and I smiled.

He did put me down...but on the chair beside him.

I groaned and glared at him. He smiled innocently.

"Aria!" He called out.

Seconds later, the same middle aged lady who served me pasta for lunch, walked out carrying trays of food. She placed it on the table and gave me a warm smile.

"It's veg," Enzo informed.

"How do you know that I'm veg?" I asked in surprise.

"Darling, you keep forgetting who I am."

"For me, you are just my kidnapper," I gritted.

"At least you didn't call me a bastard. Well that's an improvement."

I swallowed my come back and ate my food. I was dying of hunger. I wolfed down the amazing noodles and fried rice.

"Finished!" I announced, wiping my lips with the napkin.

"Alright. Let's sleep," Enzo said with a nod.

"Sleep? It's only 10 p.m.," I whined.

He looked at me with amusement. "So what time do you sleep?"

I shrugged. "It varies, but definitely not so early."

"Fine. Wanna play something? Never have I ever?" Dante suggested.

Everyone nodded.

I'm planning to escape very soon so I might as well enjoy.

"Aria, could you bring 4 glasses of wine?" Enzo yelled out.

Few minutes later, she came towards us carrying a tray with wine. She handed all of us 1 each.

"I'm sure you guys already know the rules of the game. If you have done what's been said, you drink a sip of wine," Enzo explained.

We nodded again.

"I'll start. Never have I ever had sex," Dante said with a sick grin.

Who hasn't?

We all drank a sip of wine.

Enzo scowled. "You're not a virgin?" He asked me.

"Did you see me drink a sip of the wine, Enzo?"

He nodded.

"Then obviously I'm fucking not."

"I'll continue," Enzo said. "Never have I ever...been arrested."

Grinning, Ysaline and I clinked our glasses of wine together and drank a sip.

Both the guys looked surprised.

"What?" I asked innocently, "I just stole a car once."

Enzo didn't believe me. "Really? You, the American mafia princess, who has everything she wants, stole a car?"

I nodded. "Well, you see what happened was Gabriel, Alexei, Ysaline and I snuck out of our houses to go to the club. Without informing our parents. We had fun, we drank, danced, and while we were driving back, the car got punctured. We had less time so I stole a car which was parked on the same street and drove that to our houses. Then, the owner of that car filed a police complain and the 4 of us landed up in jail. But only for 24 hours, of course. Once the police found out who I was, they let me go."

That was a hilarious moment.

Enzo and Dante didn't seem amused.

The moment dad got to know about our, he came to the police station and shot the officer in the head. Then, he sat down on that officer's chair and asked for a glass of whiskey. Obviously, by that time, all of us were out of the jail.

"You guys haven't been arrested? Ever?" Ysaline asked both of them in surprise..

I mean, they were in the mafia.

Both shook their heads.

"The police are too scared to do that," Enzo said with a scoff.

Yeah, whatever.

I cleared my throat. "It's my turn now. So, never have I ever...fallen in love."

Ysaline, Dante, and Enzo drank a sip. All except me.

"You love someone?" Dante asked Ysaline, his tone mixed with anger and surprise.

She rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Who?" Dante continued interrogating her.

"My boyfriend," She confessed, "Denis."

Dante's jaw clenched. "You will break up with that mutt."

Ysaline's eyes widened. "Hell no! I love him."

This ticked off Dante. His jaw clenched and he shut his eyes, only to reopen them with burning rage.

"You will love me and me only!" He yelled making Ysaline frown.

I motioned her to keep silent otherwise Dante would not stop yelling. She go the hint and nodded.

"You love someone?" I asked Enzo in surprise.

He nodded. "You."

Oh, hell nah.

"Hey, didn't you say you had a boyfriend?" Enzo asked, "Gavin? Gabriel?"

Huh? Oh, right. I lied to him about that.

"Yeah, so?"

"You don't love him? You didn't drink your wine," Enzo continued.

Shit.

Ysaline shot me a confused look.

"I lied about him. He isn't my boyfriend," I admitted. Enzo gave me a glare and I returned the favor.

"My turn! My turn! Never have I ever...played Russian Roulette," Ysaline said, smirking at me.

Why do I feel targeted?

Enzo chuckled. "Russian Roulette? What kinda question is that? I'm sure no one has played that, right?"

Gulping, I looked to the right to avoid his gaze.

Noticing this, Enzo's eyes widened. "You've played Russian fucking roulette?!"

I then turned to face him and shrugged. "Yeah, so what?"

"So what?! You could have died!"

"But I didn't! So calm down!"

Enzo took deep breaths. "Where did you play it?"

"Russia, with Dimitri and Lydia. You might have heard about them, they're the Russian mafia leader," I replied.

"So you played Russian Roulette in Russia with the Russian mafia leaders?" Enzo repeated and I nodded.

I played Russian Roulette, so what? It was fun.

The rest of the game passed smoothly.

"Okay, let's end this game. This was fun, but now, I want answers," I said, putting my glass of wine down.

Enzo nodded and motioned me to go on.

"Why did you kidnap us?" I finally asked. I wanted to know.

Enzo smiled. "I told you, I love you, Xena."

I needed some more answers than 'I wanted you', 'I loved you'.

"You can't love someone you've never met," I argued.

"Who said we haven't met before?" Enzo smirked.

My eyes widened in surprise.

He met me before? We met?

I tried wracking my brain to think where I met him but zilch.

"Where did we meet?" I asked in confusion.

He chuckled deeply

"A year back. I was beating up your friend, Ryan, when you stopped me."

This triggered my memory. I remembered now. So that guy who beat up Ryan was Enzo!?

"How dare you beat him up!?" I yelled, standing up, "he is my friend!"

"So? He took money from me and didn't repay it."

"You are an asshole, you know that?" I spat and Enzo just shrugged.

Fucker.

"Alright," Ysaline yawned, "I'm sleepy."

"Finally," Enzo muttered.

I got up. "I will sleep with Ysaline."

He glared at me.

"No."

"I will," I said adamantly.

"You shall not," He denied.

"I never asked for your permission, Enzo," I said, stomping my foot.

"You will sleep with me."

"I shall not," I glared.

"Even I want to sleep with Xen," Ysaline whined, coming over to me and hugging the hell out of me. I could understand how terrified she was with this situation.

"Fine," Enzo and Dante gave in. "But only for today," He added.

We nodded but we wouldn't agree to that obviously. He led us into a guest room. Ysaline and I laid on the bed.

An hour passed.

I heard Ysaline's snores indicating she slept, but I couldn't.

A thought struck me.

I could call dad.

Yes!

Thinking this, I jumped out of bed slowly. Opening the door, I tip-toed through the murky corridor and reached the room in which Enzo was sleeping in.

The plan was simple.

Go in, take his phone, call dad.

I just needed to take care of one thing and that was not to wake up the devil.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door, hoping that he was asleep.

Thankfully, he was.

Smiling to myself, I snuck towards his sleeping figure and tried searching for his phone. I thought it would take another hour but how wrong I was.

The phone laid on top of the drawer near the bed.

That easy?

Shrugging my uneasy feeling away, I grabbed the phone and hobbled out of the room. I shut the door quietly and stood still.

It was currently midnight in Sicily so it would be approximately 6 p.m. in New York. Dad usually had meetings during this time so I decided to call on my landline.

After staring at the phone for a few minutes, I dialed my landline number.

Tring

Tring

Tring-

"Hello?"

Oh my god, it was Gabriel.

"Gabbie!" I yelled, instantly slapping my palm over my mouth for being so loud.

"Xena?"

"Yep."

"Hey, girl! What's up?"

"I'm kidnapped."

"Okay, deal with it. Nothing you haven't done before."

"It is a big deal!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Who is it this time? The Australian leader? Oh, or maybe it's Alejandro! The Spanish guy! You remember him? You both had a fight in a club last year."

I sighed. "Yeah, I remember him, but Gabbie, listen. I am kidnapped by-"

"Nah, I don't wanna know."

I scoffed. "I am like your sister! I swear if you don't help me, I will tell aunt sky-"

"I can't believe you're threatening me now!"

"Gabriel, I am kidnapped! Fucking kidnapped!"

"So what?"

"So...help me."

"Xe, is this a prank?"

I frowned deeply.

"What? No! Why would I prank you like this?"

"Because you never ask for help!"

"I am now!"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a prank. Anyways, gotta go. I have a date night."

"Hey! Listen to me-"

But he just hung up.

I just stared at the fucking phone and fisted my hands.

Idiot.

I quickly deleted the call history of this call.

I decided to call Alexei. At least he would understand the gravity of this situation.

I dialed his number and was about to press the call button-

"Done?"

And I froze.

I instantly deleted the number I had dialed without him noticing.

Giving myself a mental strength talk, I turned around to meet with the nonchalant face of Enzo.

He leaned against the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Done what?" I asked, acting oblivious.

I slowly slid his phone into my pocket as I said that. His lips curled upwards into a menacing smirk.

He took a step forward but I didn't follow the cliché in which the girl takes a step back in fear.

Instead, I stood my ground and glared at him with pure hate.

But that didn't stop Enzo from walking towards me.

He walked in a threatening way, like a predator.

He continued this until he was just an inch away from me. My breath hitched at the intense proximity.

I never liked people this close to me.

I loved having space.

Ever so slowly, Enzo wrapped his right arm around my waist. The strong scent of his cologne hit my nose. Who the fuck puts cologne at night?

I frowned at the contact.

Ew.

He pulled me closer to him, pressing my body onto his. Leisurely, he slid his left hand into my pocket and pulled his phone out, maintaining eye contact with me as he did so.

Fuck.

He raised his brow, motioning to his phone.

Enzo still didn't let go of my waist.

"What?" I asked, pretending to be clueless.

"You know very well what. What were you doing with my phone?"

I shrugged casually.

His grip on my waist tightened. He checked the call history. Thankfully, I deleted it.

He frowned when he didn't see anything unusual in his phone and I internally smirked.

"What?" I asked innocently, "You doubt me?"

"Of course I doubt you. I know you called someone."

"I was about to call someone when you came," I lied smoothly.

He raised his brow. "So you admit you were about to call someone?"

"Mea culpa," I said, raising my hands in surrender, "I admit it."

I had to say that to make it look believable.

Enzo seemed surprised that I admitted that but nodded with a smirk and slid his phone into his pocket.

"You're sleeping with me," He announced and before I knew it, I was over his shoulder.

"What the hell?!" I shrieked as he walked back into his room and dropped me on the fluffy bed, I found myself in this morning.

Enzo wrapped his arms around my waist and dragged me to him, pulling the blankets over us.

I scowled and pushed him away.

"Don't touch me," I practically growled and Enzo just stayed silent, with amusement swirling in his eyes.

Few minutes passed and I heard his snores. I looked over and saw him sleeping like a baby.

I poked his cheek to see if he woke up but, thankfully, he didn't.

Smiling to myself, I walked out of his room and dashed to the one Ysaline was in. I pushed open the door and saw her sleeping. I got on the bed and shut my eyes.

I had to literally force myself to sleep, and thankfully, I did.
