Finally I'm home.
The whole day I was looking for a wedding dress.
My mom came into my room this morning, saying: STAND UP STAND UP. Let's go shopping!"
She pulled me from my bed and dragged me all the way to the shopping mall.
And she kept me there the whole day.
It was the most boring day ever. And so exhausting. I literally tried on like 20 dresses.

But I'm still glad that I could spend time with my mom. I don't really see her often because as the Mafia queen, she has many things to deal with.

And now I make my way upstairs to my room.
My legs feel like they're gonna fall out. I'm so exhausted.
I sigh.
Then I open my door and directly go in the shower.
After my quick shower I change into my pajamas. It's an minion onesie. Yeah don't ask me why I have something like that. But it's really comfy.
As soon as I lay down on my bed and wanted to watch a series, someone knocks on the door.
Please not!
URGHHH I'm so exhausted right now I don't have the strengh to stand up and deal with someone.
,,Just goooo!" I say.
Nobody answers.
Then it knocks again.
I sigh.
,,Come in" I say heavily.

Then the person enters the room and...it's Álvaro?!
Fuck.
It's Álvaro in all his glory. Again with his perfectly fitting suit.
I jump out of my bed and scream.
,,Don't close the door behind your back, we're not married yet! Don't come one step nearer! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE. Who let you into the mansion and come into my room?!" I scream disbelieved.
Álvaro just stands there with a open mouth.
After a brief moment of tense silence, he burst out laughing so loud, the whole mansion echoes it.
AND AGAIN HE IS LAUGHING AT ME!
,,HAHAHAHA. A little Minion screaming at me! And again something I never experienced before I met you!" He wipes away his laughing tears.
I want to cry right now. How can a person annoy someone this much!
,,What do you want?" I sigh. I want him to go as soon as possible so I just have to hear what he wants.
He seems surprised that I asked him this question. He seems to think about something. He looks like he wasn't prepared for that.
Didn't he had a reason to come here?!

,,I asked why you came here" I repeat annoyed with crossed arms.

Suddenly his expression changes into a dark look and his face becomes serious.
,,Damn girl. The first thing I'll do, is to change your attitude in front of me." He mumbles with a deep quiet tone.
But I could still hear it.
,,WHA-"
,,I came here to ask you in which color my suit should be." He interrupts me.
,,Seriously? You came to only ask me that?"
,,Yeah, I mean...it's kinda important, don't you think? The options are grey or black. Or white."
,,The fuck! Go ask your mother!"
,,My mother said Go ask your girl!" he counters.
I sigh and tousle my hair. Seriously this is getting on my balls.
,,black" I say.
,,Good. Thanks" he says.
Then we are just standing there, looking at each other.
Then he carefully comes a step nearer, and keeps an eye on my reaction. As if I'm a wild wolf, he tries to tame!
I step back.
And he stops.
Then he sighs and goes with his hand through his hair.
,,Do you really hate me this much? I don't understand that. Nobody...reacts like you. You scream at me...insult me...and even punch me. What are you? A gorilla?"
,,Oh wow thanks for this comparison!"
Suddenly he walks determined in my direction.
Wait...WAIT WAIT WAIT.
He grabs my shoulders and pushes me to the wall. And whispers angrily in my ear.
,,You know how hard it is to hold myself back, while you treat me this shitty? I want to tie you up on the bed and just teach you some manners"
Then he looses my grip and without hesitation I punch him in his stomach.
,,OUCH! What was that for?"
,,You still dare to ask! You just pinched me on the wall!"
Then he harshly grabs my wrist. ,,I'll deal with you later." he says angrily and steps out of the room.

Álvaros pov

I stormed out of Stefanie Eriennes room and run the stairs down.
I have to get out of here. Quickly! 
Otherwise I can't control myself.
Since when does this cynical kinda girls turn me so much on?! How comes that I didn't know about it!
I'm concerned for Stefanie Erienne! Who knows what I might do to her, if I can't hold myself back anymore. I don't even want to think about Sex, because our marriage is not for these kinda things, but if I don't get a grip of myself, I'll hurt her! I'm not gentle or careful while Sex. I'll definitely hurt her. And I don't want to.
So I have to deal with this.
I think I'll go to the club and take another pussy today. Maybe this could calm me down.
Then I won't have these kinda thoughts anymore around Stefanie Erienne.
But from where do I find a strong and stubborn kinda girl like her to fuck with? A girl who's not afraid of me, when I look her angry in the eyes or when I pin her on the wall? A girl who screams in a minion onesie and dares to punch me into my stomach.

How can I find someone like her?

I can't believe it.
This fucking asshole.
He thinks he can just touch me.

Urggghh.
I throw myself on the bed.
My fucking onesie!
I stand up and change into normal Pyjamas.
Too late though.
Then I lay down again and try to sleep. But my mind still wanders to the marriage. Tomorrow's the last day before I'm getting married.
This probably might change my life completely. But I don't really care that much, because I know that this will be only for a short time. Until I can move back again.
But first we have to make a show to all the Mafias and when the time comes, where all is calm again, I'll just move back.
So I'll just have to be patient.

Luna interrupts my thoughts by storming into my room.
,,STEFAAAAA'' she screams and jumps into my arms. I squeeze her tightly.
Then we lay next to each other in the bed.

The last few days we always slept together because we know that this marriage will separate us.

,,Did Álvaro come to you?'' she asks.
,,What? How do you know that he came?'' I ask surprised and sit up.
,,Oh he was with Liam and me the whole day, while waiting for you. We had lunch together and watched a movie. It was quite a fun'' she says randomly.
,,You're kidding me! Álvaro is not the kind of guy who would spent his whole day waiting for me and doing that stuff. He has too much work to do'' I say confused.
,,No, he said it was okay. And he wanted to wait. He had something important to say. Right! What was it, that he was so desperate to tell you?''
,,Uhmmm, he wanted to ask which colour his suit should be.''
,,O-M-G, Stefa! He likes you! The future spanish mafia king waited the whole day to only ask you this little question!'' she screams happily.
I wave her off ,,His mom probably forced him to. He said that his mom wanted to know that.''
Luna looks me challenging in the eyes, as if she doesn't believe me. But she doesn't say much more about it. She laughs and started to cover herself up with the blanket. She turns the lights off and so we sleep there and waited for the next day to come.

Next day:
I wake up with a furious scream. Luna jumps off and she already knows what to do. She hugs me tightly and calms me down.
I'm safe here. In her arms.
I calm down and try to forget my nightmare, where I was tied up in that basement. And how he opens his bag with his tools. Knives.
I shiver.
I can't take it anymore. Everyday is the same. I wake up and feel like I was tortured again.

I try to stand up and Luna helps me to the bathroom.
I wave her off, saying I can do it on my own.
So I just stand there, looking at myself in the mirror. I look sick and have big panda eyes.
I wash my face with cold water.

Luna already told me that she wants to eat ice cream with me today.
So I change into my daily clothes, a black baggy jeans and a black hoodie and make a ponytail with my hair.
Then I meet Luna at the front door.
Next to her was standing Nathanael. The first time I see him with normal clothes, like a jeans and a Tshirt. He looks good in it.
,,Hey Stef" he says while smiling brightly.
,,Oh hey! You coming too?" I ask.
,,I met him on my way downstairs and he was home, so I asked him if he wants to join us!" Luna says happily.
I smile.
It's been quite a long time since we spent time with Nath, because he has always so much work to do, as the eldest brother and the next lead.
Nathanael lays his arm around my shoulder and his other arm around Lunas.
,,Soooo Stefa, how do you feel about getting married tomorrow?" he asks me like an interviewer, while we make our way outside.
,,I feel like I'm gonna be the next world ruler" I joke around.
,,OH THATS RIGHT. You'll have so much power, that you could rule over every person on this planet" Nath also jokes around.

We all walk to the car while laughing.
I like how Nathanael doesn't get angry about me getting married.
Even if he is, he doesn't show it in front of me. And I'm thankful for that.
I guess he really knows how to control his real emotions.

We parked at a parking spot, near the ice cream parlor and walk the rest of the way.
And I feel like somebody is watching us.
I don't know who, but I'm so sure that there is someone. And my intuition is 100% of the times right.
I try to peek around me but I don't see anything.
So we sit down at the seats outside and eat our ice crem.
After a while I decided to deal with it.
,,I have to go to the toilet. Besides Nath, I feel like someone is watching us, so just keep your eyes open" I say.
,,O-Oh! You sure? I didn't notice. How do you now? Did you see someone?"
,,Uhm no. It's just a feeling. I don't know. Probably I'm just imagining it. Whatever. I'll be back in a minute!"

I turn around and walk away. But before I turned around I saw Nathanaels worried face.

I make my way to the toilet. There's a toilet hidden somewhere in the backyard of this restaurant for people who eat outside.
And it was quite in the morning so nobody's here except for me.
And I still feel watched.
Suddenly a waiter comes toward me and wave with his arm at me.
,,Young lady!"
I stand still and look him questioning in his face. He's a tall slim guy with red hair.
,,Lady, you need help for something?"
,,Uh no. I was just going to the toilet."
,,Oh! Let me accompany you! I'll show you the direction."
,,No not necessary. I can find it myself. But thanks"
I turn around and wanted to walk away, when the waiter grabs my shoulder and turn me to him again.
,,The way is really complicated so lemme just show you" he takes my arm and leads me to a direction near the trees.
Is it normal that a waiter gets palpable?
,,Let me go or I'll fucking cut your throat and your hands and I'll fucking throw your hands to the pigs for food." I say with a dark threatening voice.
He looks me shocked in my eyes and tense.
Oops I probably scared him.

Suddenly a dark shadow appears behind the waiter and grabs him from behind. As soon as he turns him around, he punches the waiter in his face.
WHAT THE FUXK.
It's...ÁLVARO.
He doesn't stop hitting him.
What's happening right now...?
I start to realize and try to kick Álvaro off him.
,,STOP HITTING HIM! HE DID NOTHING!! WHATS YOUR FUXKING PROBLEM YOU ASSHOLE!!" I scream while kicking him with my foot.

Then he stops in his actions, and stand slowly up.
His hand's full of blood.
And the waiter....
I turn my face away.
I don't want to look at him. His face is full of blood.
My heart starts to race.
I'm scared.
Álvaro...I-I can't...

,,Stefanie Erienne are you okay?" He says gentle and reaches his bloody hand to my face to caress me.
I slap his hand away and my eyes begin to tear.
,,What did you do?" I cry.
I think he killed him. Okay it seems like he to safe me but...killing?! Is definitely not the right way and it's scary how he easily could do that. And he must have watched me the whole time, and that's scary too!
Álvaro widens his eyes and seems like he's thinking about something.
Then he looks surprised at his bloody hand. And at the waiter.
He shrugs. ,,What did I...do?" he says surprised.
,,S-Stefanie Erienne I...I don't know what happened with me...I-"
,,Say nothing!" I cry even more. ,,You probably killed this man. For what?! Why are you here? At an ICE CREAM RESTAURANT"

,,Don't ask me why" he says suddenly angry again.
,,WHY" I scream and cry.
,,Stefanie Erienne. Don't cry. Please" he says with a cracked voice. He steps towards me and cups his hands around my neck. He leans his forehead against mine.
I grab him by his arms and try to push them away but it didn't change much. He's too strong. I start to cry even more because I feel so helpless.
A man, trying to force me calming down while there's laying a injured body next to me.
I don't want Álvaro to see my face.
I try to push my face down to the ground but he just force my face to keep there.
I can't control my crying and breathing. I start to tremble.
,,L-Let me go" I sniffle.
,,Just...give me a second" he whispers, his forehead still on mine.
Suddenly his breathing becomes heavy and he leans more to my body. His breath becomes cold and hungry and his lips go nearer to mines.
I try to push him away with my body, because he was still holding my arms.
,,Stefanie Erienne" he breaths heavily. ,,I-I can't hold it in anymore." His lips are now just a centimeter away from mine, when I hear Nathanael shouting.
,,Stefa?! Are you there? Let's go home!" his voice comes nearer.

Suddenly Álvaro releases me slowly and looks me in my eyes. He looks like his usual self now.
,,I-I'm sorry Stefanie Erienne! I don't know what came into me! I didn't wanted to do that! It'll not happen again I swear!" he tries to speak up to me.
But I don't have time.
,,I'll believe you, if you call an ambulance for this guy down there!" I hectically say and wipe my tears away.
He nods worried and I run away back to Luna and Nath.
They look me normal in the face as if nothing happened. Yeah, they think I was just at the toilet the whole time.

Luna looks me a little longer in my face and then she says ,,Stefa is this blood?"
,,What where?!" I ask.
,,On your neck" she points with her finger at the spot.
,,Ohh uhm yes. I-I had a little nosebleed at the toilet out of nowhere. Nothing serious. Might come from stress."
,,Oh yeah it must be really stressful for you. I mean tomorrow's your marriage."

Yeah. With Álvaro. And it's too late now to go back.
