Plan B - Me =/ (10 best books of all time .TXT) 📗

on the bedroom door but ignore it. I flip to the other side, my back facing the door. Suddenly the door opens, and the person comes in. The bed dips next to me, and the presence in right over me. "You know, it's not nice to ignore people, principessa." His deep voice says. I flip onto my back, and shoot up in shock, but I end up just knocking my head against his, really hard. I groan, holding my head, as he does his own. 

"Shit. Adrian, you weren't supposed to be back for another week." I groan. 

"Damn cupcake, I was expecting a bit more of a welcome." He grunts, falling next to me. "And it's been a month already." He tells me. 

"What?? It's only been..." I trail off. Have I really been in here for a straight week without even knowing it?

"Principessa, what's wrong?" He asks. I just shake my head, turning away from him. "Don't lie to me." He growls, flipping me around to face him. 

"How was Italy?" I ask in a lame attempt to change the subject. 

He chuckles darkly. In a flash I'm bent over his lap, my pants pulled down, along with my panties. "I told you not to lie." His hand comes crashing down on my ass, making it sting. I wince.

~Adrian~ 

 

"I love you principessa." I growl, flipping her onto her stomach, ready to take my love again. She is quick to stop me though, sitting up, and backing away from me. I feel my anger spike at her actions. "What the hell?" I grip her ankles, pulling her back towards me. 

"No, no, no." She pulls against me. "Banana bread, you don't understand. You don't love me, you don't even know me. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Adrian-" She is cut off by my phone ringing, get again. God people do not have good timing. She groans in frustration, getting off the bed, and going to throw one of my shirts on with some leggings, while I pick up my phone, still watching her in confusion. 

"Adri, there is no Emily that looks like her." Dani exclaimed, as soon as I answer. 

"What??" I ask quietly enough not to attract Emily's attention from her spot in the bathroom. "That's impossible..." I trail off, thinking of all the times she tried telling me something over the past month. Since the first night I took her. The night she lost her virginity, to me, the mafia leader. Then my mind drifts to that day, after she'd been so upset. It happened after we ran into Antonio... And then that insane woman and her husband. That's when it got really bad. "Try Sofia." I demand, remember what everyone was calling her. I hang up, leaving no room for discussion. I grab my discarded pants from pile of our clothes on the floor, and wait in anger. She comes out, looking as beautiful as ever, especially in my clothes. Dammit, she really has changed me. Beautiful, and love, weren't even apart of my vocabulary before I set my eyes on her. "Who the fuck are you?" I shout in anger, pushing past my feelings of affection.

"W-what?" Her eyes widen. 

"Don't make me repeat myself." I growl. I feel my heart breaking even more, when I see her looking at me in fear. 

"Adrian, I've been trying to tell you... My name is Sofia Sage..." She whispers, barely loud enough for me to hear.

"And why the fuck would you lie to me then?" She gulps, not answering me. I throw a glass full of water, that was previously sitting on the nightstand, across the room, just barely missing her. She jumps, and I see tears forming in her eyes. "Fucking answer me!"

"Antonio." She spits out. "Antonio sent me. But I swear, after the first month, I stopped talking to him, and I only told him one thing!" She assures me, looking down. 

"You were sent here by that fucking bastard!" I yell, turning and punching a wall, the only way I know to control my anger. Hitting things. Tears stream down her angelic face. 

"Adrian... I'm sorry."

"YOU'RE SORRY? YOU'RE SORRY?! SORRY DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU BETRAYED ME!" I scream at her. She flinches. A haunted look crossed her beautiful emerald eyes. "That's why you did what you did to Alan." I state more than ask. She nods. 

"I heard him talking to Antonio. I needed to find a way to stop it so that he didn't hurt you guys." 

"Maria. She was in on it too? Does that mean you running away while Antonio distracted me was all a setup???" 

"No. I met Maria because she was Antonio's maid. We developed a close bond, so when I thought that if I was away from Antonio, I could get away from it all, I went to her. She had nothing to do with this." She looks at me with pleading eyes. "Please, do whatever you want to me, but don't hurt her." 

"Why shouldn't I? You care for her, and you betrayed me. What better punishment, than to watch your best friend suffer?" I chuckle darkly, pushing down every since fucking emotion I have. At least attempting to. 

"Please." She whispers. Getting fed up with seeing her like this, I turn around and whip out my gun from the nightstand, pointing it at her. She stares straight at it, not afraid at all. My hand begins to tremble as I look at the woman I am in love with. 

"Get out. I never want to see your fucking face again." She looks at me hurt. But she nods anyways. On her way out, she pauses and looks back at me. 

"Just for the record... I love you Adrian." With that, she walks out. 

Chapter twenty-one

~Sofia~

 

I walk into Maria's room, ignoring the couple who is currently fighting next to the closet. I lift up the mattress, grabbing my stack of almost 20,000 dollars. I pause when I pass them. "Good bye Maria. I love you." I give the confused woman next to me and tight hug. Then I turn to Brad. "When my Baldy comes back, tell him I miss him." With that, I walk out, ignoring both of their calls for me. I momentarily freeze when I hear a cry of agony echo throughout the house as I reach the front door, but as one last tear falls, I open the door, and walk out, leaving the only place I could ever call home. 

 

Two months and three weeks later

 

I managed to find my mother and Hal, and ended up staying with them for the past almost three months. I've barely been able to get out bed, accept for the past week or so to throw up once in a while. I caught a stomach bug or something. I got a new, untraceable phone, and I ordered a fake ID and passport, just incase I see Adrian or Antonio again, and they go all ballistic and make me move half way across the world, I wouldn't want them knowing where. Those fakes must be pretty damn good because they cost me a pretty penny. 

"Sofie! There is a package for you!" I hear my mother call from downstairs. I shiver at the name Sofie. Antonio and my mother ruined the name my father called me. She always tried to join in on it, since my dad and I were so close so she thought if she called me by his name for me I'd like her more. 

"Thanks." I take the plain orange envelope from her, retreating back to my room. I rip it open, spilling the contents on my bed, revealing the fake ID and passport. Luckily, they look realistic. I went under the name Ava Smith, since I feel like that's pretty generic. I throw them into my nightstand, and pick up my backpack type purse, walking down the stairs. "Bye." I half-heartedly shout as I exit the house. This is the first time I'm seeing Maria since I left. I was hesitant in contacting her, but I really did miss her. I get in my car, and drive away. I arrive at the 24 hour diner, before Maria does. When I sit down in a booth, a someone immediately comes up to me. 

"Hey doll, can I get you anything?"

"An iced coffee would be lovely, thank you." I smile at the older man. He gives me a kind smile back, leaving, heading towards the kitchen. I begin playing randoms games on my phone to pass the time. 

"Here you go girly. Waiting for someone?" I nod at the man from before. "Alrighty. I'll be back in a bit. Enjoy." I thank him again, and go back to playing. I look up when someone sits across from me. Or, more like, two someone's. 

"Maria..." I trail off, glancing between the two people. 

"Just listen babes." She tells me. 

"He misses you too." Brad speaks up, with a small smile. "I'm really sorry Strawberry. I didn't mean what I said. At all." I stay quiet for a while, thinking. The same man, I'm assuming the owner at this point, came up and got there orders, all the while. 

I return the slight smile. "I'm glad." Maria looks relieved. We talk and laugh the rest of the time, throughly enjoying ourselves. They start talking about how good the food is here, and I feel my stomach flip. "Excuse me for a second. I'll be right back." I get up, walking to the restroom as fast as I can without seeming suspicious. If they knew I had a stomach bug, they probably wouldn't want to be here with me, and honestly, this is this best time I've had in almost four months. Since the time Adrian left for the trip... 

I finish, wiping my mouth, and swishing some mouthwash from my bag, around and spitting it out in the sink. I walk out, smiling when I see the happy couple cuddling. "Better?" Maria asks. I nod. We talk for a while longer, before I realize the time. When I check my phone, Maria does too. "Oh shit. We're late! Sof, we walked here... Do you think you could give us a ride? Pretty please?" She gives me her best puppy dog eyes even though I was already going to do it. I nod, and we pay, leave, and hit the road. Baldy is giving me directions from the back, where Maria joined him. We end up at some weird baseball field just outside a park. 

"It was great seeing you two. We'll have to meet up again?" They both nod, and give me a hug before the get out. With a final smile, I turn my car back on, and put it into drive. Although, just when I start moving, a car skids in front of me. Confused, I go to back up, but then there is a car behind me, and on the side of me. Men get out of every vehicle, stalking towards my door. Just before I can lock it though, it swings open, and I'm yanked out. They don't even bother taking my seatbelt off. "Hey! What are you doing??" I ask, but the men don't stop dragging me. Looking down, I feel humiliated... 

"Boss, look what we found." One of them speaks when we come to a
