The world seemed to still as Cassie stared at Liam's lifeless body, blood spilled into the ground and she slowly crawled him into her arms, "Liam!" She called out softly, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Liam please wake up," She said, "This isn't funny Liam, Wake up!"
"Well that would be a neat trick," He said, a smirk playing on his knees as he crouched on his knees meeting her gaze, "I have never met anyone wake up from death, it'd be definitely entertaining if your friend could do the impossible,"
"You...you pychopath," She said fighting back sobs, she gasped in shock as she felt the cold of his gun against her head.
"Tell me where you father is," he asked again, "I won't ask again,"
"Go to hell..." He violently gripped her by the neck, got to his feet and pinned her against a wall, blood dripped from the cut on her forehead into his arm and suddenly he felt a thunder bolt in his heart that forced him to release his grip on her as he fell to his knees gripping his chest.
"Lorenzo!" Kai ran to his aid, a look of confusion on his face, he had never seen his boss Enzo like this, he frowned and pointed a gun at Cassie who struggled to catch her breath.
"You pretty bitch, what the fuck did you do to him," He was ready to pull the trigger when Lorenzo's voice cut through like glass.
"DON'T KILL HER!" He said getting to his feet staring curiously at her, he was certain of it that feeling was definitely the mate bond. There was no mistaken this pretty weak and feeble human was his mate.
"She is my mate," He said walking towards her while she staggered backwards in fear. Kai had a surprised expression and was quite doubtful but still he did as told.
"Stay.. stay away from me," Cassie said watching the man called Lorenzo pull out a cloth from his pocket.
"Stay away from me you psycho!" He crouched again to his knees and although she tried to fight him off, he was freakishly strong as he forcefully placed the cloth over her nose knocking her unconscious.
"Bring her to the estate!" she heard him order his men before succumbing to her drowsiness, falling asleep.
*******
She felt a warm and delicate hand stroke her cheeks as she slowly woke from her sleep
"Where am I?," She muttered fluttering her eyelids open.
"Good morning," she heard him say in a gentle tone as she turned her gaze to him she was stared the water droplets on his tanned skin. His black hair was still damp making him even more breathtakingly seductive.
She was paralyzed by his perfection that she didn't realise she had been staring for too long until he said,
"You can do more than just watch, little girl," He chuckled
His voice jolted her back to reality "Lorenzo," she breathed scrambling off the bed in a attempt to put as much distance between them as the room allowed. Her gaze caught her reflection in a mirror, she wasn't putting on her clothes instead she was draped in a beautiful red gown that looked to be straight out of a romance novel.
A sickening thought crept into her mind her, wouldn't it mean he had changed her clothes?, had he seen her naked?
"Do you like it?" He said closing the distance between them, his green eyes locked into hers. she couldn't help but wonder how such beauty and cruelty coexist in one person?
"Let's just say I like my woman looking more....regal," he added, a smirk playing on his lips
She panicked but tried to keep her composure as she collectively searched the room for any sign of a sharp object she could use to attack him and hopefully escape from here
"Why am I still alive? I am certain you wanted me dead last night?" Her voice trembled as she scanned the room searching for any weapon.
Her eyes landed on a pen, just inches away, she calmly reached for it, her gaze never leaving Lorenzo's.
"Hmm I guess people change," He chuckled, "I'm not going to hurt you little girl."
"Cassie," she corrected her voice low and steady. "I have a name it's Cassie and I'm not a little girl."
"Cassie," he repeated, his tongue tracing his lips. "Lovely name."
"I'm not going to hurt you, Cassie, but I can't say the same for your traitorous father," he promised, his thumb stroking her chin.
His hypnotizing lips were full and red, almost feminine. Cassie shuddered, trying to quell the strange reaction they stirred in her.
"You're mine from this moment," he declared, his eyes cold and hard. "I demand your respect, love, and loyalty as my Lu..."
Lorenzo bit his lips and winced his brow as she leaped and plunged the pen into his right eye and dashed towards the door.
"CASSIE! YOU BITCH!" He growled in pain
Her heart pounded in her ears as she frantically searched for the keys,but she couldn't find them, which meant they were in Lorenzo's pockets.
"Looking for these?," Lorenzo dangled the keys with a devilish grin, it wasn't his grin or his astonishing high pain tolerance that scared her but the fact that his left eye had healed. How was this possible?, she was certain she had pierced right through.
"You have been a very bad girl, Little Cassie," he snarled, gripping her neck and tossing her into the bed. A dangerous growl escaped his lips as he pinned both her hands down while she squirmed in a futile attempt to break free.
"Let me go, you monster!" she cried out in fear thrashing and even spitting on his face, it seemed to enrage him even further as he slapped her hard across the face.
"You should have aimed for the heart, little Cas," he growled menacingly.
"You're mine Cassie, mind, body, and soul," he said with a dangerous growl, "I'm the prison you can't escape."
He began kissing the crook of her neck making her cry out in fear, then she felt canines pierce into her neck making her scream out in pain.
"No! No! No, please stop! Please get off me," she pleaded in fear, was he some sort of cannibal that had a taste for the flesh and blood of women?, she hit her hands against his shoulders but he wouldn't bulge.
Lorenzo retracted his fangs, pulled back and stared into her teary eyes.
"Please just kill me, if you're going to do it just do it already," She begged him already having an idea of what was going through his mind judging by his Predatory stares on her breasts.
He rolled his tongue over his lips and ripped her clothes off exposing her bare skin while she yelped in fear steeling her heart at what was to come.
"You have beautiful breasts Cassie," Lorenzo said lustfully running his hands over her breasts, his eyes glowing red with anger and lust.
"Lorenzo, please..." She pleaded as her heart pounded in fear.
Taking in deep breaths, she closed her eyes and readied herself for what was to come. But as seconds turned to minutes, she realized she was alone in the room. Lorenzo was gone.
