I flutter my eyes open stretching my arms and legs out looking to my left side seeing nothing. A frown appears on my face as I remember Leo leaving the room after we had our intimate moment last night.
I feel a breeze suddenly hit me and I notice the window is open as the curtains are blowing. I abruptly get off of the bed bolting towards the window. I can feel the desperation to finally be able to escape from this place turn into hope as well. However, my hearts quickly falls down to my stomach as I see bars nailed into the wall outside of my window.

I grunt feeling frustrated as I turn my heel to walk towards the door. I place my hand on the door knob turning it and as I expected it's locked. As I was about to turn around, the door suddenly opens revealing Montoya, one of Leo's men.

Montoya has a mohawk that's always fixed to the side. His chestnut hair is really shiny. His caramel skin has nothing, but tattoos all over the place. He's a little shorter than Rios who looks to be 5'9 foot tall. My eyes lock with his dark ones waiting for him to say something as he intimidating stares at me.

"Boss wants you to join him for breakfast."

"Really?," I furrow my brows pretty stunned that Leo wants me to eat out of this room.

"Do I look like I joke around?," Montoya raises a brow. By the way he's looking at me I can feel every little hair stand up on my body. This guy looks so scary.

"No," I mumble.

"Follow me," he firmly says turning his heel. I quickly walk behind him not wanting to upset him. God knows what this guy, shit, what these men are capable of. We walk downstairs into a huge kitchen where Leo is sitting reading a newspaper.

"Take a seat," Montoya orders stepping out of the kitchen. I take a seat far away from Leo not knowing what to expect. This is my first time out of the room in another part of this huge mansion.

"Why you sit so far? From what I recall, you had me in you last night," Leo intently looks at me putting his newspaper down on the table. I gulp my saliva down feeling awkward by what he just said.

"I uhm-", I stutter.

"Sit next to me," Leo says pulling the chair out next to him for me to sit. I stand up walking towards the chair taking a seat near him looking down the entire time. It's pretty hard to look at him in the eyes right now. Suddenly, a brunette maid barges into the kitchen with two plates in her hands making her way towards us. She sets the two plates that has two sunny side up eggs, two sausages, and two slices of toast smeared in butter in front of Leo and I.

"Thank you," I say smiling at her. She nods with a smile walking out of the kitchen. Then comes back with a huge bowl of various cut up fruits on the table and places a pitcher full of fresh orange juice with ice.

"Eat," Leo says as he starts biting on his toast. I glance down on my plate then decide to go for the cut up fruits that looks so delicious right now. I love fruits.

"Why did you let me out of the room?," I furrow my brows not being able to hold my curiosity in anymore. Something must be up.

"Why ask this? Shouldn't you be ecstatic of being out of the room?," Leo responds taking a sip of his orange juice.

"It's just weird that you kept me locked in that room for an entire week and now I'm here eating breakfast with you," I honestly say.

"Well after our rough sex last night, I thought you'll need to eat more to regain your energy," he smirks. I almost choke on the piece of sausage that's currently in my throat right now. I take a gulp of orange juice just to wash it down. Leo chuckles and I stare admiring his gorgeous face. How can someone this handsome be involved in such a criminal world.

"Well who do we have here?," Rossi bursts through the door mischievously smirking at Leo and I.

"How the fuck did you get in?," Leo grumbles.

"Oh baby, I am a member of The Red Eagles aren't I?," Rossi responds taking a seat across from me and near Leo.

The Red Eagles?

"Rossi don't fucking push my buttons," Leo sternly warns Rossi.

"Didn't you miss me? I've been gone for two weeks handling the trade in Miami. I need to release my stress babe. You know how to help me with that," Rossi flirtatiously says grabbing a banana from the basket on the dining table peeling it and shoving it into her mouth licking the banana while winking at Leo.

My eyes almost bulge out of their sockets hearing what this red head is saying. How naive can I be? Someone like Leo will always have females throwing themselves at him. And I'm sure he never says no to any of them. Without saying a word, I get up from the chair ready to leave out of the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going?," Leo narrows his eyes at me disapprovingly.

"You have company," I blankly respond glancing between the two. Rossi is throwing me death glares the very same ones from last night. If she is doing this bullshit over Leo, she can gladly have him.

"Sit your fucking ass back on your seat now," Leo firmly orders.

"Let the bitch leave Leo, you and I have to welcome each other," Rossi blankly utters rolling her ocean blue eyes at me.

"Excuse me? What did you call me?," I scold clenching my fists.

"Don't ever call me by my name it's boss do you understand?," Leo mutters.

"I said bitch," Rossi ignores Leo responding to me as she raises a brow.

"Get the fuck out Rossi," Leo shouts.

"I don't care who the fuck you are. I'll beat your ass bitch," I grumble feeling uncontrollable anger rise within me. This entire week it's been hell for me being held captive locked in a four wall room not once stepping out for some fresh air. The window having bars nailed into the wall, so I can't escape, which makes me feel like a prisoner in jail. And let's not forget the abuse I've been enduring this entire time.

This Rossi chick has no freaking idea how on edge I am. My life is a complete dark mess having no freedom whatsoever. I don't have time for no one's rude name calling over a guy. Rossi abruptly stands up from her chair charging towards me, a look of hatred plastered on her face. I stand firm ready for my first fight to happen. Yes I said it, I've never been in a fight before besides slapping Ruby, but that doesn't count as a fight. So Rossi will be my first and I'm ready for it.

Rossi lifts her hand up ready to strike me when Leo suddenly grabs her arm bringing her to a halt pushing her down to the ground. She tumbles down her ass hitting the tile floor. A pissed off expression on her face as she glares at Leo. Leo stands in front of me his arms crossed across his chest.

"I'm part of the mafia not this bitch," Rossi hisses standing up from the floor charging towards me. Leo grabs her preventing her from getting to me and that's when I glance towards the two wooden doors. The adrenaline starts hitting me as I take this as my chance most likely my only chance to finally escape from this place.

My eyes examine Leo still holding Rossi back completely distracted and I look around the bottom floor seeing none of Leo's men standing anywhere. So I bolt towards the two wooden doors turning the door knobs bursting out of the house not looking back. To my luck the two guards from last night aren't standing by the door either. I can smell the fresh air as I inhale it into my nostrils feeling tremendous hope to finally regain my freedom.

BANG

I fall helplessly down on the concrete feeling my left leg sting out of pain. My eyes scan down to my leg seeing a huge red stain form on my pajamas. Panic appears as I realize I've been shot and I call out for help not wanting to die.

"HELP!"

My eyes lock with those very same emerald green eyes as mine and I quickly realize Rios shot me.

"How dare you?!," I grumble wincing in pain holding my left leg.

"You chose to try and escape now you pay the consequences of your actions,"!Rios blankly says grabbing me by the arm roughly lifting me up from the ground. I screech in pain from stepping on my left leg. Leo walks towards us an angry face expression on his face as he glares at me. Leo slaps me across my cheek and I fall down on the concrete again tears sliding down my cheeks.

"Let me go you fucking psychopath!"

"Ungrateful little bitch," Leo scolds lifting me up bridal style making our way back into the mansion. I start to feel weak and sleepy. My vision starting to blur out of focus and just like that I pass out.
