Feeling the cold breeze sweep through my hair. I flutter my eyes open instantly realizing I'm no longer in the hotel room. I abruptly get off of the bed scanning my surroundings recognizing the interior design only belonging to Leo's yacht.

What in the world?

Opening the door to the room, I make my way out where I'm welcomed by stronger cold breeze and the beautiful eye catching baby blue ocean as seagulls flap their wings over me. I hear two male voices instantly recognizing one of them as Leo. Once I walk to the front, I spot Leo leaning on the wall speaking to the captain.

His every muscle causally flexing in such a natural admirable way. Without realizing it, I find myself absorbing every inch of this masterpiece in front of me. Leo Castillo is such a handsome man any woman would fall head over heels for him. I mean just look at Rossi who constantly fights for his attention. A smirk finds its way on my lips as dirty thoughts presents itself into my mind remembering last night's steamy events between Leo and I. Hours ago, I literally had this man doing all kinds of things to me pleasing me in ways that is indescribable .

"Finally you're awake," Leo's deep husky voice says snapping me out of my dirty thoughts.

"Y-yeah... how did I end up here? Last time I remember I was laying on the bed in the hotel room," I respond.

"I didn't want to wake you up, so I carried you here. After all, you needed your full sleep since last night things got pretty crazy," he smirks at me. I can feel my cheeks redden from his remark. This isn't the first time he says things like this, but I just can't seem to get used to it.

"We have arrived," the captain chirps.

"Go put something on. There's clothes I bought for you in the closet," Leo says. Without saying a word, I do as he says pretty excited for today's adventure. Since being in Miami with Leo, I must admit it has been pretty fun especially since he's so nice. The complete opposite of how he was back home.

"You better be fit," Leo grins.

"What? Are you suggesting I'm fat?," I squint my emerald green eyes at him.

"No, I meant as in be able to climb that over there?," Leo explains pointing towards a huge mountain in front of us.

"For your information. I'm very capable of climbing that," I reply.

"I'm so tired," I whine trying my best to keep up with Leo which I can tell he's very athletic by how he's making the whole hiking experience seem so easy. We are currently hiking and boy is the sun my worst enemy right now. If you ask me how long we've been walking this damn mountain. I would say about five hours.

"It's only been ten minutes Madison. Keep pushing we're almost at the top," Leo reassures. I sigh forcing every little bit of strength I have left into the remaining dreadful walk. After what seems like forever, we finally hit the top. As soon as Leo stands up. He turns around to help me up, which I'm so thankful for. Leo intertwines his fingers with mine pulling me straight with him toward the edge of the cliff. I scrunch my brows together in confusion glancing down at our locked fingers. A part of me is scared about this, but the other half is happy.

On the cliff, it's such an amazing view of the blue ocean, baby blue bright sky, and the pure white clouds passing by over us. Even the smell of nature is so breathtaking and fresh instantly making you feel so brand new and clean in a way.

"This is so beautiful," I murmur completely amazed by this breathtaking experience and view.

"Reminds me of you," Leo fondly responds. Averting my eyes. I lock eyes with his chocolate brown ones, "how?"

"The same way you see this view beautiful that's exactly how I see you." I stay speechless not knowing how to respond to his comment. Leo steps forward wrapping his muscular tan arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. After everything Leo has done to me and boy has he done horrible traumatizing things to me. Since being here with him it's almost as if it's all fading away due to his sudden caring, lovable, and well mannered behavior.

I mean the first time I met Leo Castillo at Agenda. He was the same man he is being with me now, but after giving myself to him and being taken against my will it's like he shifted into a complete stranger, I call monster.

"Leo, I can't do this," I huff stepping back running my fingers through my long hair. Leo scrunches his brows together his chocolate brown eyes still in sync with mine.

"Do what?"

"This Leo... what we've been doing since being here. I'm not sure where this is all going, but I can't have any part of it," I mutter.

"Why is it so hard for you to believe in everything I've said to you? Do you have any idea how fucking hard it was for me to speak about my feelings?," Leo grumbles.

"No I don't know Leo because you don't let me know anything about you."

"Weren't you the one to say to prove myself to you?," he clenches his jaw.

"I-I," I mumble not knowing what to say. I did say last night for him to prove himself to me, but for some reason I'm now backing out from what I requested. Ugh, why am I so complicated? Better yet why is life so complicated?

"I-I just can't be with someone like you Leo. How can I just let everything you did to me slide? You did horrible things to me," I spat.

"I've already apologized for that. Why are you so stuck on it?," Leo sighs frustratingly.

"Violence must be a lifestyle to you huh? Well guess what? It's not normal Leo only psychopaths do that."

"It's all I know Madison. I was raised in violence by my parents. So yes this is a fucking life style for me," Leo roars turning away. His hands clenched as his torso starts moving in and out rapidly from his sudden hard breathing.

My eyes stay locked on him baffled by his outburst. While Leo spoke about a glimpse of his past to me. I couldn't help, but see the hurt, torment, and damage as he mentioned his parents. Even though he was furious. I can tell in his eyes the cry of his soul. It all make sense now. Leo is the way he is because of his parents. I remember Luna spilling out something about Leo's parents making him the way he is when the choking incident happened. As I said before, no one is born evil, and right now I just confirmed Leo's behavior. He must of been a good kid once, but his parents were the ones to corrupt him. The scary part is how did they corrupt him?

"Leo," I huff extending my arm. My hand slowly touching his back. As soon as my hand rests on his back. Leo flinches, which causes me to remove my hand from him.

"Turn and face me please," I softly say wanting to test the theory that's floating in my mind right now. Surprisingly, Leo does what I say without protesting or even questioning me. He is now facing me. My hand lifts up towards his cheek and as soon as I rest it. Leo flinches again this time his chocolate brown eyes fluttering shut. As if he's about to get hit in the face just like he did the first time I've ever put my hand on his face that day in the room of his mansion and in the hotel elevator.

"What your parents did is called child abuse Leo it's not a lifestyle," I huff feeling sympathy for him.

Leo opens his eyes locking his with mine once again, "No, it's lifestyle," he blankly responds. I raise a brow disappointed in the way he thinks. He's so delusional, but who am I to judge. I can't blame him, only god knows what he's been through and the stuff that he had to endure. After all kids learn what their parents teach them and from what I can tell is his parents are crazy people.

"Oh Leo, what did your parents do to you?," I murmur feeling sorry for him.

"Nothing," Leo bluntly responds grabbing my hand from his cheek immediately putting it down. I huff frustratedly not being able to break inside Leo's walls. My patience is quickly starting to fade.

"Then I can't further anything with you. You're right Leo. Your world isn't my world. We're completely different," I mumble stepping two steps back.

"You're a red eagle now did you forget?," Leo scoffs looking a bit offended.

"No, I'm not. Let's get this straight. I was forced to join just to have some kind of freedom from being locked in that mansion of yours since I was kidnapped by you," I bluntly say.

"Right kidnapped," Leo mutters to himself averting away from my eyes.

"I'm thankful for the getaway believe me, but it's time to go back. I'll see you at the yacht," I blankly respond walking away from him. I secretly wanted for Leo to yell out for me to not go and spill everything to me, so I can know his past to understand his present, but he never called out for me. Instead he let me walk away completely, and that hurt like hell.

We're currently in Leo's private jet on our way back. The entire time he hasn't said a word to me not even a glance my way. It as if I don't even exist to him anymore. I'm not sure if he's doing this due to being pissed at me or if maybe he's just deep in thought. Either way, I won't know since he doesn't let me in. So I just roll my eyes at his behavior leaning my head towards the glass window letting the movement of the jet rock me to sleep. As much as I want to relive those lovely moments Leo and I shared back in Miami, I can't. This is what I have to do hoping this will push Leo to open up. Well that's if he really meant everything he said about me.

And that's what scares me also. What if his words were just blank words of the heated moment or just game talking in order to get into my pants, which let's be real, he successfully did. I have no idea with Leo Castillo. All I know is that my feelings for him are undeniably real and that is terrifying to feel for a murderer mafia leader known as my kidnapper.
