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

Walking through the beautiful market all I could thought is that how much fun it would be if I would came here on vacation, I would buy things from here for all my family members and friends if I had my own money instead of his, still I bought many small decorating items from small shops hearing 'visita di nuovo, grazie per lo shopping' from almost each shop. 

I didn't understand what they said instead of grazie which means thanks and shopping. On the first shop when the old lady said this I thought she might be asking me something but then Lorenzo explained me what does that means. Nicolas house is gignatic and looks like a damn castle with a lot of expensive items yet there are many things missing and by this I also get something to do to pass my time.

After market I went to grocery store and started filling the basket mostly with snacks present their while Lorenzo followed me dragging the cart behind. I chuckle at myself looking at Lorenzo state for making him do these stuffs. I am sure he never did something like this before, his expressions shows that quite clearly but he can't offend his boss orders.

I won't hesitate once for using Nicolas money on flippant things most importantly on food. It won't bother me like before at least that it's his money I am using. I won't feel insecure like last time probably because now somewhere a part of me accepted him and also accepted that I got right on him and not only him in that way I got right on his things too.

'Where is pharmacy' I asked Lorenzo.

'Why? What happened ma'am?' 'Is something wrong, do I need to call boss?' He asked in a sudden tense voice.

'Wait, wait, wait Lorenzo. I am fine' 

'I've to buy some girl stuff...you know, that's all' I said smiling at his reaction.

'Oh, ok! This way'.

He didn't follow me behind in the pharmacy but keep noticing everything I was buying and stood at the end of aisle when I entered in tampon and pad section.

I was buying the necessary items when my eyes fall on a familer face. I turned and look towards Lorenzo who was awkwardly standing their, his eyes roaming everywhere but me. I turned back to saw the face again but it disappeared, I walked in that direction but there was no one.

After checking out and paying for the products I turn to left but then stop on my track and once again looked behind in the pharmacy to check whether what I saw was real or not. 

'What wrong ma'am?' Lorenzo asked looking at my serious expressions.

'Hu' 'Nothing' I replied turning my head back and walked out of pharmacy sliding the thought thinking my mind must be playing tricks with me.

The weather was humid when we left in the morning but by evening it become cold. Inspite of eating in morning my stomach soon become empty.

We were heading for restaurant to eat and I pleaded Lorenzo to took me anywhere but not at a place which is related to Nicolas but he said that it's his fucking boss strict order not to took me somewhere else instead of his so I finally gave up and asked him to took me somewhere other than his hotel where last time Nicolas took me but before we reach my eyes fall on a shopping mall on the way and a smile crept on my lips, there is no way I am going to miss this opportunity.

'Lorenzo pull by the mall, I want to do some shopping'. 

'We can go to a better place ma'am'.

'Its fine Lorenzo, I only want to buy few stuff'.

Well, there were already too many cloths to wear at Nicolas place but none of them were of my choice, last time it's him who chose them, it didn't bother me anymore but somewhere my niddle is still stuck at that point so I took this chance to get something of my choice and style to wear. I feel so delighted looking people shopping around there, never feeling better remembring the last time Nicolas brought me to shopping and the bitter memories of that horrible day run through my head but before they could spoil my mood I pushed them back.

For the first time since he kidnapped me I felt a little normal, so alive by this small freedom and sane after a long time, feeling more like myself in a normal world with people around me like I used to, even if it is just a relief of only few hours.

I bought few loose baggy dresses, boyfriend tees handing bags to Lorenzo when my eyes landed on a short ruffle red color a-line dress. Not bad. 

Even though I didn't need it and had nowhere to go wearing it but it caught my eyes which is rare. It was plain yet elegant looks beautiful to me and the price was also not high, actually whatever shopping I did still cost less than two dress Nicolas brought me that day. Leaving Lorenzo in clothing section texting his boss about my whereabouts I went to fitting room to check the size.

I put it on and it fit perfectly so I removed it and put my cloths back. When I came out I saw someone standing with a familier face right in front of changing room.

'Guess you are doing fine living with him now, don't you.' she said making a face at me giving a mocking smirk. She had same red hairs and dark lipstic just like the same way I first saw her few months ago when Nicolas took me in his party for the first time.

'Looks like we meet again Elena Blackwood' she said with sinister smirk plastered on her face.

After how things are happening from last month now it started scaring me as Nicolas enemies got behind me and I don't have any clue who she is.

'Who are you? And why the hell are you following me?' I asked in a petrified yet strong voice building my courage.

'I told you before who I am doesn't concern you?' She said the same way she said it before.

'I don't know who you are but trust me you are inviting death because if not you must not be here' I said in a curt voice.

'Ch, ch, ch, You know what, I know your father very well and believe me he won't be too proud of you knowing his only daughter is whoring around her and her family captor'.
