- About the Author
Vladimir clenches his jaw and then punches me in the face. "You are going to wish you never came to this goddamn country," Vladimir then turns around and walks towards the door.
He leaves the room while I spit out blood.
Fucker threw a punch towards my lip making my teeth dig into the skin.
I lean my head against the stone wall and close my eyes.
God, I wish this would be over.
I was just trying to get home and not have to deal with Alexander but now I totally regret doing that. I wish he was with me, protecting me or telling me it was going to be okay.
I just want to go home but I need to be strong. I need to put up a strong front.
Twenty Three
I roll over on my bed and check my phone, seeing a message from Ace telling me to go to his office for a meeting.
It's been three days since I got back from Moscow and Thalia still hasn't been found yet. Aria has been worried sick while I have been alone in my house.
Ace keeps threatening me to get to his estate but I couldn’t care less. I just want to be alone.
My dad and mom have also been up my ass and lecturing me about not caring enough for Thalia. To be honest, I am just trying to forget about her.
She is probably on some island, enjoying being alone. She left because she was scared.
But there is no way in hell I am going to admit to Ace about Thalia and my activities before she left. If I did that then he would punch me until I’m black and blue.
I let out a groan before getting up from my bed and walking towards my shower. I turn the water on and change the temperature to make it cold.
I like taking cold showers in the morning because it wakes me up and it also relieves me sometimes when I need it.
Once I am done with my shower, I put a towel around my waist and walk towards my closet to find clothes to change into. Since I have a meeting with Ace and my parents, I have to dress a certain way which is kind of annoying.
Every time I have a meeting with them, they always tell me to dress formally which I don't understand. Every time I go to the meeting, Thalia never dresses formally. She always gets away with it but that's probably because her dad's in charge.
I change into a suit and tie before spraying cologne and leaving my room. Once I get outside, I pick my black Porsche 911 to drive to the De Luca estate. The car roars to life when I start the engine and then I pull out of my driveway and leave.
