CHAPTER THREE

The mighty arms wrapped around Bluey waist.

Somehow, she felt secure in the arm......like, she has always wanted to be in the arms and for some moment, she didn't want the arms that encircled round her waist to loosened.

"watch where you're going "The hoarse voice said and loosened his grip making her lands her butt on the ground.

The voice sounded so familiar and when she raised her head to see the face of who it was, he was gone.

"weird! "She thought looking around.

"where did he go...... a moment he was here with me but now he's gone .....so weird "she mumbled and got up.

"ouch!!! My butt hurt. He shouldn't have helped if he was gonna let me fall any way"She sneered.

"no he has hurt my big butt"She said sadly and chuckled on her own words.

She stared around and could tell the night was getting thicker.

"I need to hurry home"She thought and increased her step.

THE NEXT DAY

THE WALTON RESIDENCE *******

Arianna stretched out her arms and yawned.

"another day to behold "She said and some how she was happy.

She really can't tell why or maybe because it was another day for the people of Italy to worship her as usual especially the student of Georgia college.

She quickly jumped out of the bed and hurried to the bathroom. As usual, her bath tub had been prepared.

"Gosh!! "She giggled and stripped her clothes off her body.

She jumped into the bath tub and shut her eyes tightly as she relaxed.

"I fucking love this"She whispered to herself.

SOME MINUTES LATER****

Arianna put on a free yellow grown and a flip flops slippers.

"it's still morning and I'm having lectures in the afternoon. I guessed I should do something "She thought.

"A-ha! "She uttered after figuring what to do.

She walked to the door and was about opening when she stopped.

She turned back rather and walked towards her portray.

She stared at it and traced the necklace she was wearing on the portray with her fingers.

"This looks so expensive..... I hate myself for loosing it after the accident. If I should wish for one thing, it's to have it again cuz no amount of jewelry that I have seen looks so beautiful and expensive like this"She thought.

She looked at the protray closely and that was when she noticed something.

The girl on the portray looks so curvy. She got the shapes any guy will die for.

And looks so beautiful and then she remembered her.

The girl that had insulted her in public.

"Yeah you got everything but you didn't include your expensive plastic face which you got from you your surgery. Your face and skinny body can't amount to my beautiful face and curvy body. You can take a good look at me if you haven't noticed ".

Arianna remembered her words.... She bite on her lower lip and balled her fist.

"that poor thing.... She's gonna regret ever doing that "She mumbled.

"But there's something I can't seems to get. If I was Chubby then, so why I'm I skinny now.... all my curves where are they....... Could it be the doctor had done some little change on me after the surgery?? "She thought and took her lips in.

"some times I wondered if this is me.. I found everything around me so new and even after four years, i still can't brace up"She thought and walked towards the door. She opened it widely and came out.

She walked through the corridor and got to the stairs. She climbed down and walked directly to the kitchen.

"Good morning Miss Arianna "The maid greated and she smile widely.

She shut her eyes and inhaled the aroma. No doubt!! they were surely making something delicious.

"I can see you're cooking. Can I help?? "She asked and the maid eyes widened.

"No! No!! Noo!!. Miss Arianna, your mum will be so angry to see you here"one of the maids spoke out.

"I insist.... It's no big deal "She replied and went towards the maids who was slicing the cabbage.

"I should help with this"She said and collected the paring knife from her.

The maids eyes widened and their mouth went agape watching Arianna slice the cabbage.

"What's going on here?? "A calm but angry voice said.

"Forgive us Ma'am..... We really tried to stop her but she insisted "one of maid replied and that was when Arianna turned to see her mum.

"Mum "She called.

"What are you doing here"She asked.

"I only wanted to cook. I miss doing it"She said and her mum furrowed her eyebrows.

"you hate cooking Arianna, so how come you miss doing it? "Her mum asked.

"I do? "She asked.

"Yes Arianna.... You hate anything that had to do with cooking " Mrs Beatrice Walton replied.

"I guessed I changed mum and there's no big deal on it. Change is one thing that's constant in life. Maybe I have realized something..... I don't know but I feel I can cook. Pls don't stop me mum. Lemme just try this once and trust me you're gonna love it.... Pleaseeeeee"She said blinking her eyes and her mum heaved.

"just this once"Her mum said and she smile widely.

"Thanks mum. I love you"She said.

AFTER BREAKFAST

"Gosh Arianna you're so good. I never knew my daughter can cook this well"Her mum said and her cheek flushed.

"I told you mum......now you believe me "She smile.

"you won't blame me my angel. The truth is, you actually changed after your accident. Who would have thought my Arianna would have cooked this" She said and Arianna chuckled.

"The only good thing Arianna could do is to assist the poor..... She believes no one is supreme than the other in as much we all her human.... You love the poor alot and that makes you everyone favorite "Her mum said.

"really but I feel irritated when I see those poor thing especially those student in Georgia college. The college is full of poor kid. Gosh mum I need to change school "She replied.

"wow Arianna.... Change is indeed constant but all this happened after your accident "

Her mum said.

"Mum how did I even get myself in an accident?? "She asked.

Her mum swallowed hard.

"do you really wanna know that?? " She asked and Arianna nodded.

"yes mum. Maybe it will help me heal"She said and her mum nodded.

"you were just eighteen then... "She said

"go on mum"Arianna muttered.

"I really don't know why you did it but you ran away from house"Her mum added and she gasped.

"I did? "She asked and her mum nodded.

"Good ten Eight months you were away from home. We did all to find you but it seems almost impossible. After Eight months we found you in a burning car. How you got involved still remain a mystery..... That's all I know "Mrs Beatrice said.

"hmmm"she hummed.

"glad I'm still alive. I should go prepare for lectures now"She said getting up from the couch.

Bluey stared at the necklace in her arms and kissed it.

"you must have cost a fortune "She mumbled staring at the diamond design in the necklace.

"I don't know how you ended up with me but I'm gonna treasure it"she said and wore it on her neck.

She stared at herself from the mirror and smile.

"It fitted me " she thought touching it.

She touched her arms and could see the tattoo. It was some little handwriting tattoo on her hand but that wasn't all.

She raised her top and saw the tattoo of two eyes.

"hmm"she hummed and dropped her top. She walked out of the room.

"mum I'm off to lectures "She yelled as she entered the kitchen. She met her mum cooking something.

"oh Bluey.... Won't you eat"Hee mum asked but her attention was still on the food sge was cooking.

"I would have love to but the food isn't ready"She said.

"you can help me with it Bluey, it will be quicker that way"She said and Bluey rolled her eyes.

"you know I don't love cooking mum and beside I'm late"She mumbled.

"what a lazy girl"Her mum said but instead she stuck out here tongue.

"I'm off mum" she screamed and rushed out.

GEORGIA COLLEGE

"what's happened??"Bluey asked Draco immediately she got to the college gate to see it locked and student outside.

"you shouldn't be here BLUEY.... Haven't you heard of what's happening "Draco asked..

"What happened?? "she found herself asking.

"Lots of people both boys and girls were taken by the Mafia men yesterday and right now they're roaming the entire city looking for more...." he said and Bluey gasped.

"You need to leave here right away. I will take you home and make sure you're save" He said and Bluey nodded.

She was more than scared. Taking her from her mum is the worst that might have happened to her

"let's go"She said to Draco.

.

.

.

Arianna pace around waiting for her driver to come pick her home.

She got the news this afternoon but somehow she wasn't afraid.

"I heard the Mafia boss is handsome "She thought and smiled sheepishly.

"What if I get captured and we fell in love like those in the movies. Wouldn't it be great?? " she thought and smile.

"I'm not scared a bit. Dad got the influence "She thought.

"hey miss"She heard a voice and turned to see an elderly man.

And from his dressing, she could tell he was poor.

"who are you and what do you want"She asked angrily.

"I'm Richmond.... "He said rather and she balled her fist.

"I never asked of your name.... Save it and tell me what you want"She snapped out.

"I just want is to be good friends "He replied and she burst out laughing. She stared at his from head to toe.

"I can't believe you just say that and what made you think I will be friends with an old poor thing who's old enough to be my father"she asked.

"Because...... "

"just shut it old man...... " She cut him short.

"next time you try this, I will make sure you end behind bars for molest "She said and hissed.

Her driver ride in almost immediately.

She stared at Richmond once more before walking to her car.

She entered.

Richmond clenched his jaw and stood still and watched the driver as he drove out.

"still as stubborn "He thought.

FLASHBACK

He kissed the tattoo written all over her hands making her moan.

He stopped and kissed the tattoo of the eyes drawn on her stomach.

"Mmm,,,Oohhh" She moaned throwing her head backward.

"I did a great job here. The tattoo I drew look so nice on your stomach "He said and she rolled her eyes.

"you're such a bad guy. Why will you tattoo your eyes on my stomach? "She asked dipping her fingers on her stomach.

"you're the bad girl here. You ran away from home just to be with a bad guy"He said.

"shut up" She hit his stomach and he groaned.

"I wouldn't have ran away. I did cuz of the condition I was in...... It's all your fault. What was I going to tell dad. His reputation would be ruin and I dont want that.... I'm not ready to tell him. Not now"She said.

"come here"He muttered and kissed her deeply.

He broke the kiss and touched the necklace on her neck.

"this must has cost a fortune "He asked and she nodded.

"it was given to mother by grand mom. After my birth, she handed it over to it. I love it and I promise to keep it"She said and he nodded.

"I love you baby doll"He said seriously.

"I love you more"She replied and slammed her lip on his.

END OF FLASHBACK

PRESENT

The door opened bringing Angelo from his thoughts.

"boss, some new slaves had just arrived.The men are still out there bringing more"The guard said with his face downward.

"Good..... Bring in more. I won't stop until I find her"He uttered.

"on it boss" He replied.

A WEEKS LATER*****

Bluey stares out of the window. It's been a week she ever came of.

Well everyone in Italy has been indoor for a week now.

Who wouldn't???

Of course everyone was scared. Alot of people had been taken already

Having to work for him and then killed after four years it's what scared Bluey most.

"who will be this cruel" She thought.

The door of her room opened and she quickly turned to see her father.

"dad.... "She called scared.

She swallowed hard as he covered the space between them.

There was a bottle of alcohol in his hand but no cigarette.

He grabbed her cheek making Bluey groaned.

"I'm not you father you little devil! .....I'm Richmond "He said and release his grip from her cheek.

"I need you to go get some cigarettes "He said and Bluey gasped.

"Father I... I can't go out. The men are still out there "She stuttered abit staring.

Richmond slapped her so hard on the cheek making her staggered.

He pulled her hair making her scream.

"You devil!! You now learn how to speak back at me!!! "He yelled still pulling her hair.

"father.... Let... Let go"She cried.

"you're going to go out there and get me the cigarette "He yelled and pulled her out of the room by her hair.

Bluey kept crying and struggling but to no avail.

Her mum was crying and begging him to stop but he couldn't listened.

They got to the sitting room and opening the door, he pushed her out.

"you won't come back to this house if you don't get those cigarettes!! "He yelled and shut the door behind.

Arianna sneaked out of her mansion. Her parents as gone out of the country and she had been indoors for a week now.

She felt sick and tired. The guards wouldn't even let her leave the mansion.

She finally found a way to sneak using the basement.

She looked around and when there was no one she walked to the basement.

She sneaked out of the house and compound without anyone seeing her.

"That was closed "She heaved immediately she was out.

She covered her face with the sweater to avoid being seen by anyone.

She walked down the street and was so engrossed on where to go when she bumped into someone.

"Argghhh " She groaned.

"sorry"The person replied in shaking voice.

She raised her head and saw her.

Bluey!!!

"you again"She shouted in between gritting teeth.

Bluey rolled her teary eyes at her. Arianna gasped immediately her eyes caught the necklace on Bluey neck.

No doubt!.

It was the same with the one she worn on the portray .

"who gave you this?? "She asked pointing at the necklace.

"it's not of your business "Bluey replied and made way to go but Arianna pulled her back and landed a slap on her cheek .

"you thief this belongs to me"She said.

Bluey landed two slaps on her cheek.

"let me be skinny brat!! "She said and when they were about fighting, a van stopped and some able bodied men came out.

"Take them both"Came the hoarse voice.

"Nooooooo Bluey!!! ".

Draco wanted to scream from his hide out but it came out as a whispered.

He was in shocked .

He stood still as the men took Bluey and the other girl.

Tears dropped off his eyes not because they just took Bluey but because he saw it and couldn't help his best friend.
