"Why'd you beat him up?" I asked Marco as he was wiping my bloody nose, we were currently in the bathroom and I was sitting on the counter, Marco had volunteered to fix my nose up for me and I didn't object, Why? Because I was a lazy bitch.

"Because I wanted to." He replied simply wetting the cloth which he had used to wipe the blood off my nose, it was bleeding a lot, the punch hurt.

"Seriously Marco tell me." I said with a serious face as he continued to wipe my nose and ignored me.

"Marco I'm talking to you!" I dead panned at him stopping him from touching my nose again and he placed both his hands on the counter trapping me and leaned forward studying my face.

I snapped my fingers in front of his face snapping him back to reality but he said nothing. Ladies and gentlemen this is when I thought he was a mute.

"Are you even listening to me? I'm talking to you Marco! For gods sake speak up!" I slightly yelled at him and he looked into my eyes.

"I beat him up because he deserved that." He simply said picking up the damp cloth beside him and wiping at my nose again since I could feel the blood on my lips and could taste the metallic taste of it.

"Marie had already did that." I said to him and he breathed out cursing in Italian under his breath.

"Do you always ask this many questions?" He questioned me and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Don't roll your eyes at me." He said to me with annoyance and anger in his tone but there was something else in his eyes that I couldn't figure out.

"Why not?" I challenged him and anyone would have noticed the knuckles that had gone white from gripping the counter to hard.

"Don't challenge me you'll regret it." He said, but I wasn't the one to back down.

"I don't back down from anything, get that in your head." I said crossing my arms over my chest. "By the way the only thing I'll regret is ever trusting Albelino." I said gritting my teeth, just the thought of him made me sick.

I spat his name with venom in my voice hoping that venom would kill him the way I was imagining it in my head.

"Guess it's true, You can't trust anyone but yourself." I mumbled to myself but it seemed as Marco had heard it.

"Do you trust me?" He asked and my head automatically but instantly rose up as I looked at him with shock written all over my face.

"What?" I asked him shocked at the sudden question.

"Do. You. Trust. Me." He asked emphasizing every word as he leaned into me even more. I thought over the answer thinking if I should tell him or not but ended up telling him anyway.

"Honestly no I don't." I spoke and an emotion crossed over his face and it seemed like he was hurt? Why the hell would he be hurt? Why would he even care if I trusted him or not. He's an emotionless killer, a Mafia King, they are never hurt.

"I don't trust anyone, I think I don't trust myself anymore these days as well." I said in all honesty and it was true, I don't trust myself, I don't trust myself to make decisions because I don't know if they are right or if they are wrong. My body has already betrayed me because whenever Marco is near me, when he is pleasuring me as much as I want to push him away my body pulls him even closer.

The confusing thing was he never kissed me even when I was willing to.

Marco studied my face and was done with cleaning my nose and had ordered some ice to put on my face so that the bleeding would slow down and eventually stop later on. He had put the small bandage on my nose and I wanted to jump off the counter if it wasn't for him to be in front of me covering the space where I'm supposed to jump and his arms blocking my access to the sideway escape.

"Do you trust me Marco?" I blurted out and he looked at me with unknown emotions swirling in his eyes, I would pay a million dollars just to know the emotions that were in his eyes.

"Depends."

"On what?" I questioned him and he sighed running his hand through his hair making them a little messy but it looked even more sexier.

"On the situation, do I trust you to give me the right information about Albelino? Yes. Do I trust you to do jobs for me? No, not really." He said and I nodded at him.

"My heart tells me to trust you while my brain is just jumbled up, it says yes for a moment and then says no and it goes on like that all day long." He said.

The heart and brain sentences are so cliche.

"I'm Italian, Cliche comes naturally to me." He said letting out a sexy rough chuckle, Did I just say that out loud?

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked him and he nodded chuckling at me. I jumped off the counter when Marco finally stepped away and walked into the room and fell on the bed with my back on the bed.

"Marco? What do you think? Why did Albelino kill my parents?" I asked him without looking at him but at the ceiling.

This was something that I couldn't help but wonder, what did my parents do that he killed them? Were they bad people? Did they do him harm?

"Honestly I don't know, but we will find out soon." He said walking over to me and getting on top of me as if it was totally normal. I eyed his every move confused as to what he was up to.

"What're you doing?" I asked him and he shushed me, putting his finger on his lips. I was shocked that he actually had the nerve to shush me!

I don't like being shushed.

He leaned down close to my face, his lips inches away from mine, his hands were traveling upwards from my legs to my knees to my thighs.

His hands were on my inner thighs and I couldn't help but be nervous, his hands were close to my vagina but he didn't touch it thankfully.

His hands traveled from my thighs to my waist and under my shirt touching my stomach. I was breathing hard and did my best to hold the wet liquid inside of me from coming out.

His thumbs rubbed circles on my stomach as his face moved away from me and into my neck breathing hard against it and kissing every spot of my neck and kissing on my sweet spot, biting my lip I held in the moan that was begging to be released but I kept it in still.

Marco came up to my lips again he was staring at me and my lips and I literally wished he would kiss me now but he didn't. He just moved away from me and in a second he was gone and out of the room.

I groaned in frustration, I hate it when he does this, I hate it when he gets me all heated up and when it's time to kiss me he just leaves. He makes me feel worthless yet so precious. It was so confusing.

I have to take control over my body and keep my distance from Marco, hopefully that would be easy, I was glad that I could  hold in the juice that was begging to be released out of me.

I got up from the bed where I had laid on before and left the room without another sound and searched for Marie.

I found her in the kitchen busy with her phone and walked over to her plopped down next to her making noise hoping she would notice me and gladly she did.

"He- What's that on your neck?" She asked me eyeing my neck and I gave her a confused face making her open the front camera of her phone and handed me it.

Indeed there was something on my neck and it was a bite mark that I didn't notice before, it was turning more purple minute by minute as my eyes grew wide at the sight of it.

I'm going to kill him.

"Oh that's just-"

"A love bite honey." Rose came walking in with a grin on her face and plopped down next to me, so now I was in the middle of both the women.

"I wouldn't call it a 'love' bite, it's just a bite mark." I argued and they both just grinned at me.

"You guys are weird!" I said to both of them getting up from my spot and taking out ice that never came to me and placing it on my nose.

"Excuse me it's still a bite!" Marie said defending herself and smirked when I sat down again, "Which also means that you have a thing going on with Marco." She said and my eyes widened at her.

"Not that it wasn't pretty obvious because it was." She said and my mouth had made the 'O' shape and I looked over at Rose begging her to say something in my defense with my eyes and she smirked as well.

"Yeah, we both saw the way he looks at you Bella." Rose said and scoffed.

"We don't have a thing. I guess it's just complicated." I said shaking my head at them.

"Please enlighten us." What is this fifty shades of grey?

I rolled my eyes at Marie and spoke,"Okay we haven't kissed yet but we have you know..... Touched each other." I said awkwardly because it really was and this talk made me uncomfortable.

"What do you mean? He's given you a bite mark, touched you and all that but you guys haven't kissed yet?" Rose asked and I nodded my head at her and she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"That's unusual." Marie said and I nodded at them both.

"I mean it's like he gives me the feeling that he's gonna kiss me and when he's close to my lips he just walks away." I said sighing and hitting my head in the counter and groaned.

Ouch.

"That's unlike him." Marie said and Rose snorted.

"You think?" She said and Marie rolled her eyes at her and moved her hand up and down soothingly on my back.

"Don't worry you'll get to kiss him one day." She said and I shook my head at her. I thought over if I should tell them about the deal I had made with Marco but decided against keeping it to myself.

"What time is it?" I asked them and Marie checked her phone before answering.

"Uh it's 1:34 pm." She said and I groaned, I had nothing to do and I couldn't just go over to Marco, my goal was to avoid him at all costs. I'm not doing everything he says for one week because I can't even do it for one hour for literally anyone without bashing their head against the wall till they black out.

"I'm bored!" I whined and Rose chuckled at my childish behavior but Marie agreed with me too because she was too.

"What do you wanna do?" She asked me and I thought about it.

"How about have our egg yolks ready?" I smirked at her and she has her evil smirk making its way onto her face.

"What about egg yolks?" Rose asked us and Marie answered.

"Well I have planned to throw a bucket full of egg yolk on Al as a revenge for all the pranks he had played on me and it will be when he least expected it." She said laughing evilly like a witch.

If you hadn't seen her you would have thought it was a real witch laughing."You're creepy!" Rose complained and Marie just grinned at her and Rose rolled her eyes before getting up.

"Well you girls do what you wanna do because I have a child to take care off." She said before leaving us alone in the kitchen.

"Let's go to the chef and ask him to have a bucket of egg yolk ready by tonight." She said dragging me out of my chair oh so gently. Note the sarcasm.

"Seriously you and your family literally has no patience at all!" I said as I matched my pace with her and she just chuckled.

"It runs in the blood." She said grinning but instantly frowned when Romano came in our sight. A frown made its way on my face as he stepped in front of us.

"What do you want Roman!?" Marie spat at him and he flinched at the harsh tone she used against him. Her tone had me flinch too.

"I just wanted to apologize." He said plainly turning to me expecting a reply.

"Well you're forgiven for now but if you do that again but I will beat you up till you can't walk again without a second thought. Is that clear?" I warned him and he gulped audibly making me smirk from the inside but I kept a serious look on the inside.

"Yeah." He said and looked over at Marie who was just glaring at him and he looked down before passing him.

"I seriously hate that motherfucker! He's so full of himself and he's so arrogant!" She went on and on and on about how much she hates him and how arrogant he was.

"Something tells me that you guys have a history together." I said and she instantly stopped walking and looked at me with surprise.

"H-how did you?" She stuttered but I just smiled at her.

"I know people very well Marie." I said and she nodded her head slowly.

"Wanna tell me what happened between you both before that made you hate him so much?" I asked her and she fiddled with the hem of her shirt.

She seemed uncomfortable with the topic so I just decided to drop it. "If you don't wanna tell right now I totally understand." I said but she shook her head.

"Only rose knows about this and now you too." She said and motioned me to sit over on the sofa and I did with her following my actions as well.

"Okay so.... A year ago I-I had a night stand with Romano.." She started and my eyes widened in shock but I didn't interrupt and let her continue.

"That night stand had me grow feelings for him and I don't know I was just attracted to him a lot and so was he to me so we kinda had this friends with benefits type of deal. We uh... Forgot to use a condom one day and I ended up Preganant..." She choked out and gasped in shock.

Tears were falling out of her eyes and I went close to her and took her in my embrace as she cried in my shoulder , thankfully no one was in the same room as us so we were alone and no one was seeing this drama.

She cried for about 15 minutes before she calmed down and continued with her story. "Roman never wanted the child so h-he had me abort it and then after that he just left me." She said and my anger for Romano grew as I saw more tears escape from her eyes.

"What kind of sick bastard does that?" I spoke in disgust and she nodded, I let her cry on my shoulder and said comforting words to her as she quieted down her crying to no crying at all.

"You good?" I asked her when she raised her head from my shoulder and she nodded with a smile on her face and got up.

"Okay we have plan to follow right now!" She said jumping up and grinning, if it wasn't for her eyes and nose that were red and swelled up she would have looked happy for real.

"Yup we do!" I said jumping up as well and grinning at her.

"I think I should wash my face first." She chuckled and I nodded at her agreeing with her.

"I think you should." I said and she ran off to the bathroom and came a minute later looking better than before as if she hadn't cried at all a few minutes ago.

We walked over to the chef that was in the pantry and Marie spoke.

"Hey Carter! I have a secret evil plan and I was wondering if you could fill a small size bucket full of egg yolk?" She asked and the chef who's name was carter furrowed his eyebrows at us in confusion and we just grinned already imagining Al soaked in egg yolk.

What a wonderful sight.

"Let me guess pranking someone?" He asked and we both smirked and nodded evilly making him sigh.

"Fine but don't get me in trouble okay!?" He said and we ensured him that he was not to be involved in it.
