Martina's POV

When Mr. Hall's friend picked us up, I was feeling delighted. Everything seemed to fall in a right place now. I wanted to have a rest finally.

We were driving in silence whole the way. But when we actually came to the airport, I was confused. When it clicked in my head and shock overcame me. I was in another city this whole time.

There was a private plane waiting for us. Mr. Hall helped me to get inside as we buckled up before we finally took off. I didn't expect this at all. I was sitting next to Mr. Hall and situation was awkward.

After what happened last night in the woods, we didn't talk about it at all. He kissed me twice and I don't regret kissing him back. I just feel embrassed. But all I can think about is that kiss. I really went crazy.

I felt a tug in my heart. When he drops me off at my house, he will go. And I will be alone again. He was bringing me joy and happiness even if I wanted to deny it. No one ever made me feel this kind of way. But it lasted too short.

Theodor's POV

I knew this was soon the end. We were just making turn in her street. I had to let her go. I knew this was all stupid. How could I fall in love with her? She is perfect and I don't deserve her. And after what happened in this few days, I can't even be in her sight from guilt.

Once we stopped, I opened her door and et her out. She looked at me for few seconds, but it felt like hours. With her, everything seems much longer. And I love it.

The door opened and outside came a woman I know. Don't tell me...
"Martina, oh my God." She said and hugged her. Martina wrapped her arms around her. Her mother started crying and checked her if she is okay.

When she looked at me, she stopped for few seconds.
"Hello, aunt Beth." I said. Her mouth opened in shock.
"Theodor? What are you doing here?" She asked me. Before I could respond, she cut me off.

"You're the reason of what happened to my daughter, aren't you?" She almost shouted. I nodded in guilt and shame. She is right and I know it.
"Mom, how do you know him?" Martina asked.
"It doesn't matter. You will never see him again. He is a dangerous man, Martina." She said and pulled Martina towards the door.

"Mom, stop." Martina said and yanked herself of her grip. Aunt Beth looked at her in confusion before shooting me an angry look.
"I don't want to leave him." Martina whispered. I looked at her in shock but then warmess formed in my heart.
"Are you crazy?" Aunt Beth yelled.

"She is grown up, aunt Beth. She can make her own decisions." I said.
"But she is also my daughter and I know what's best for her. You don't have any right to chim in, Theodor. Leave now and I better not see you around my daughter." She said, angrily. She wanted to take Martina's hand, but Martina ran to me and wrapped her arms around my torso.

I hugged her tightly. I didn't care what would her mom tell. She needed me and I needed her.
"My princess, I'm sorry." I whispered in her ear. She let out a sob that broke my heart before she let go of me and ran in the house.
"This was the last time, Theodor." Aunt Beth said and slammed the door shut.

I turned around and with my legs barely carrying me, I entered the car.
"You really fell in love with her." Andres said before starting the engine. I nodded my head and leaned on the window. I didn't know it would this hard to fall in love with someone. I always thought it's something beautiful, not painful.

After a while of driving, we arrived at my house. We got inside as I immediately went to take a shower. Andres went to the kitchen to make us something to eat.

I took clean clothes and a towel before getting in the shower. I couldn't take it anymore and I broke down. This was my second time crying in my life. I felt vulnerable, but with her everything seemed much better. How could I let this happen to me?

After I finished and dressed myself, I came downstairs. I made a decision. I will be a better man from now on just because Martina would like me to. Like she said. I sat down on the bar stool in my kitchen. Andres slided the plate with food in front of me.

"You resemble on a depressed cat." Andres said, making me roll my eyes. But there was more serious matter than his jokes.
"Andres, I want to ask something from you." He lookdd at me curiously.

"I want to leave mafia and CEO position. I have had enough." I said. He was looking shocked.
"Why all of a sudden? What will you do then?"
"I will find a job. But I wanted you to take over. I trust you the most." When I said that, his jaw fell down.

"I don't know if I can take that responsability, Theo."
"I know you can, Andres. If I thought you couldn't, I wouldn't ask you." I smiled a little. He was thinking for a while, before sighing.
"Alright. I will do this for your sake." He said.
"Thank you. By tomorrow, I will give you everything over. Remember that, all of that is what Boss did."

"I know, Theo." He smiled and sat down to eat together with me. I felt like some burden was lifted off of my shoulders that I didn't even know I was carrying. I feel some relief now because I let go of doing bad things. I know this job was never for me, but I took it because Boss asked me.

I wanted to have decent job since I finished college, but these responsabilties stopped me in doing that.
