She is the one by Asheslove (that summer book .TXT) 📗

When it started getting late our phone started to buzz one by one to call us back home and firstly it always starts with me.' I smiled talking.

'At home we all prayed together at dinner table thanking God for the blesses we receive while my brother rushed to finish his food, eagerly waiting and telling everyone to finish theirs so that he could have dessert'.

I looked at Leo after finishing, tears rolling down my cheeks.

'Why isn't he ready to understand that this is not how things work' 'why Leo, why? I am not supposed to be here, everything happening is wrong, his ways, the way he made me his possession, his obsession, everything is wrong' and saying this I breakdown into fit of tears.

Leo shifted near to me and hugged me closer to his chest. 

'I have a life Leo; I have my own life before all this. Why can't he just leave me, why is he so adamant on taking my life away from me'. I mumbled softly, sobbing in his chest pouring my heart out. He was rubbing my back and combing my hairs in soothing way.

'I am sorry Elena, I am sorry that all this is happening with you but I can't help'. 

'You can Leo, you just have to tell me where he kept my family' I said immediately pulling away from the hug.

'No Elena, I can't and even if you know you can't do anything.' 

'Yes you can, I know you know where they are. Please Leo, please tell me where is my family'.

He touched the back of his hand on my cheek, his eyes tender.

'You are cold, let's get back inside' saying this he turned to get up but I tugged his shirt from front in fist preventing him from leaving.

'Leonardo' I mumbled helplessly as tears flow like waterfall from my eyes.

'Elena please'

'Please...  please Leo, please tell me' I begged looking at his face.

He sighed and cupped my face in both his palms and gently wiped my tears away from his thumb pads while I kept sobbing.

He kissed my forehead before leaning his head against mine. His nose brushing over mine.

'Stop crying, they are in Cuba. Completely safe and are cooped up in one place, Nicolas didn't cause any harm to them. They remember and miss you every damn time. They kept questioning me about you whenever I went there'.

'Do you meet them often?' I questioned between my sobs holding his both hands which were cupping my face.

He nodded.

'Your mother always remains restless and worries a lot about you. I show them pictures of you so they could believe me that you are fine and safe'.

'I already told you he won't harm them till you are at his side Elena. Nicolas doesn’t want you to know this because last time when you called your family you escaped him after that. He fears if you know this then instead of adjusting with him and accept him you will again try to leave him'.

'Do they -

We were interrupted when his phone suddenly rang. He sighed kissed the tip of my nose and pulled away. I wiped my tears as he received the call.

'Ciao'.

'What?' Leo screamed on phone and I look blankly at him.

'Fuck, Edward is in command. Digli di occuparsene finche non arriviamo li. Mando uomini'. 

Before I could ask anything he called someone and grabbing my hand with phone placed on his ear rushed in hall talking in Italian.

'Stay here, don't go anywhere. We need to leave' he said disconnecting the call, leaving me there before calling someone again, he went inside.

I kept waiting there and sat on the nearby table where Leo left me. After few minutes a waitress came and was about to place a glass of wine in front of me.

'Enjoy your drink Mam'

'Thank you. But I don't need' I refused politely. She was placing the glass back on tray when accidentally the glass slipped from her hand and wine spilled on my cloths.

I quickly rise up.

'Oh my god. I am sorry mam, I am so sorry' she apologized placing the tray on the table.

I brushed the dress and looked at her. She looked really terrified.

'No, no its OK, its fine' I said politely smiling at her.

'I am so sorry mam, Let me help you to washroom' she said again apologizing.

'No, I am just going to leave in few minutes. Its fine'.

'But your dress is spoiled; you can wash it in washroom. It won't take long'.

I looked at the dress and it was seriously spoiled with red wine spilled over the skirt and because it was white the blot was clearly visible.

I looked for Leo or Nicolas but there were no sign of any of them. Leo refused me to left the table but it will be embarrassing if I walk like this and it won't take me long. I will be back before Leo will arrive and thinking this I went to washroom with that waitress. Leaving her outside I walked in and washed the blot. I was done before five minutes and walked out but the waitress was nowhere to seen, thinking she might went back for her work I turned to go back when suddenly a hard hit came to my neck. A low shriek left my lips but before I could turn and watch what just happened or anything anymore came out of my throat everything went dark in front of my eyes.
