Mixed Feelings 2

"Wh...who are you?... You're not my vennesa...you can't be her," he said in disbelieve, shaking his head.

"Your vennesa? [Chuckling]...she died long back ago darling, I'm not that girl who you loved before, I'm not that pathetic vennesa who would easily get manipulated by you... I'm not her" I replied.

He gulped, staring at me. I smirked at his reaction.

It's showtime Lorenzo.

"Okay, Now don't waste my time with your bullshit Enzo Choose fastly and carefully...him(pointing my finger at that man tied to the chair) or (smirking at him) me!" He angled to glance at him, I can see him thinking intensely about the situation. I know he's struggling to figure out a way to deal with me, I know better how to bend him to my will.

"I have a deal," He said smirking at me.

Like expected.

I strolled over the desk and sat on the edge of the desk resting my right leg over my left.

"What made you think that I would listen to your deal,"

"I know you would," he replied with a smirk, His stupid smirk was dropping my confidence. I diverted my gaze to the man on the chair, "Tell me" in an uninteresting tone.

I can feel him striding towards me, I turned my head to look at him. He was walking to me while the left side of his faint red lip tugged upwards creating a sinister smirk on his god-like face; casting a spell of lust to eyes that dare look his way.

Trouble Trouble Trouble Trouble...

Venessa POV.

I hear some noises nearby, and I slowly tried to open my eyes, A sudden surge of pain rushed to my entire body as I felt like waking up from a heavy slumber. My hands automatically reached my head, rubbing my forehead to ease the pain, but it's not stopping. Memories flashed through my mind as I remember running from Enzo's mansion and stopping at the park.

I looked around and found myself lying on a bed covered by a soft mattress in an empty room; it was bigger than my entire house. The walls of the room were grey. The bed I'm laying on was a white-tufted king-size bed that had beige sheets, pillows, and cushions covering it from everywhere. I looked down at myself and found myself in the same dress that I was wearing before I lost my consciousness. I remember a bodyguard injecting me; I have seen him somewhere but couldn't recognize him.

I sat up and pushed my hair back. Everything that happened in the mansion rushed back to me, his lies, setups, manipulation, and I feel betrayed by him. There are no words to describe my pain, That day when he saved me from Brian I felt that he was my saviour, I couldn't believe that the whole thing was a setup. Tears were streaming down my eyes while I feel shattered and broken into a million pieces.

Every detail of what happened was etched into my brain like an Etch, and a Sketch, except if it was shaken, I'm more than sure that the memories would remain. I feel stupid to trust him; I hate myself for believing everything that happened between us naturally occurred. He was my sunshine, the one for whom I lit from the inside. I used to feel a frisson of love, even if my thoughts turned his way for only a moment. The image of his face once conjured my smile; I would yearn to dive into his eyes. I have done anything he asked, given him whatever he wished for.

And All along he was fooling me, lying to me, playing with my emotions like I'm a fucking toy. Why didn't I listen to beth and Zach, every single time they tried to warn me about him, but I choose to ignore him? I'm the only reason behind my heartache, and I was stupid enough to be played by him. This heartbreak feels cold. It feels like concrete drying in my chest.

This heartbreak was unexpected, as they always are - top of the world one minute and cut down the next. There is no love in this world, only people using other people. They are in denial if they think otherwise, or perhaps in their mental weakness, they cannot accept other people or even themselves for what they are.

My hands grasped my hair pulling them down, nausea swirled unrestrainedly in my empty stomach. My head swam with half-formed regrets. My heartfelt as if my blood had become tar as it struggled to keep a steady beat. My melancholy mood hung over me like a black cloud, raining my personal sorrow down on me as I cried and cried until I hear someone opening the big door at the corner, with tears strained face I raised my head to see a shadow walking towards me.

I couldn't breathe, it felt as if someone was choking me. My heart was racing, and all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and wait for someone to save me. But no one would no one was there. A choked cry for help forced itself up my throat, and I felt a drop run down my cheek.

"Please don't hurt me!" I pleaded.

He reached me, bending down he grabbed my arm pulling me up roughly from the bed, He dragged me with him as he was walking ahead. It was dark, and I couldn't see who this bulky man was.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me? Where am I?"I asked I scared to know what they'll do to me.

He dragged me out of the room, we were going through the hallway. Sunlight was beaming through the window, I covered my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light. I turned to look at the guy who was dragging me to god knows where he was a tall and well-built man who's dressed in a black t-shirt and blue jeans. He walked us to a room and knocked on the door. A rough deep voice came out, It felt oddly familiar.

"Come in,"

He pushed the door open and stood beside it letting me walk in first, I was so scared that I couldn't even lift my legs. With shaky legs I stepped inside the room, Immediately that bulky man shut the doors. I turned around to see the doors shut, I gulped my hands are sweaty and I was shaking terribly. I slowly turned around to see a man typing something furiously on his laptop, his head was down which is why I couldn't see who was.

He was dressed in a dark blue Armani suit. The room was a study room, and one corner was filled with Wooden Shelves embedded within the walls but ran a few meters above wooden Carpeted ground. The sleeves were squared around all the bright beige engraved walls of the room leaving one place in the middle of the wall for a fireplace. The desk was placed in the middle of the room with an L shaped turquoise couch right in front of the desk. I turned my gaze on the man and gasped finding him staring at me intensely.

"Nikolai!" I said in disbelief.

He kidnapped me? Why? Is he going to kill me? What does he want from me?

"Hello Venessa," he greeted with a smile.

He's a bit changed from when I meet him, his hair grew and he has slightly grown a beard making his jawline hard and sharp, He was much more attractive than before.

"H...Hello," I replied, I was so confused right now. I need answers like tons of questions in my head as he sensed it he said,

"I know you have lots of questions in your head, I will answer them Venessa, but not now."

"Can you at least tell me why you did you kidnaped me?"

"Trust me, Venessa... you will thank me later for doing this," He said looking into my eyes with his electrifying blue eyes, unknowingly I was staring into his eyes.

His eyes were blue like the ocean, shimmering and crashing beneath the sunset. Looking into his eyes was like looking through a fragile piece of turquoise sea glass, which lay in the sand glistening in the sunlight. As calm as the sky before the storm, but as wild as the sea during one. Those were his eyes.

Although His words confused me, even more. why would I thank him?

"what are you trying to say?" I asked him, with a puzzled expression on my face.

"Why will I thank you? Where the hell am I? Nickolai please let me go back" tears were flowing down my eyes while I'm begging him to let me go. He sighed, standing up from his recliner and walked over to me. He glanced down at me, "I'll explain everything Venessa, but It's not the time, you should take rest, you're weak" concern was evident in his voice.

"No, I can't rest knowing that I was kidnapped by you for no reason; How will I take rest, Nickolai?"

He sighed again, "Cole" He called, that bulky man opened the door and stepped inside,

"Yes, boss."

Nickolai just gave a look at me and walked back to his desk; Cole took my arm and dragged me with him.

"Hey!..wait...(turning back) Nickolai!!... Let me go," I screamed, hitting Cole's hands. He dragged me all the way through the hallway to that room.

"Leave me!!!" He pushed me inside the room, "stay quiet, kid." He said in an intimidating tone, shutting the door on my face. I walked over to the door and started banging on it.

"Nickolai!!"

"Let me go...open the door..."

Lorenzo's POV.

It's Been two days since she left me, it's been two days since I got a message from Nickolai, It's been two days since she got kidnapped by him. I was losing my shit and going out of my mind, Seth was continuously assuring me that she is fine and we'll find his location. All my men were trying hard to find his location, and that motherfucker is hiding in a place no one could find.

I was pacing back and forth trying to think where he could hide, my mind was thinking all the possible ways of him hurting her. My hands were fisted with anger at the mere thought of him hurting her.

"He can't do that...He can't do that" I was gritting my teeth in anger, my nerves popping out of my hands.

"Mate, calm down, our men are trying to find his location. They'll find it and don't stress yourself that much!" He said, sitting on the couch with a worried expression on his face.

I side glanced at him and continued to pace back and forth, John walked in with two of our men behind him. I quickly grabbed his collar, "Did you get the location?"

"No sir"

I stepped back, running my hand through my hair and taking a deep breath, controlling my anger. "WHERE IS SHE!!!" I screamed, pushing all the things off my desk. Burning rage hissed through my body like deathly poison, screeching a demanded release in the form of unwanted violence. It was like a volcano erupting; fury sweeping off me like ferocious waves.

"Get out!!" I yelled, John walked out of the room. I took deep breaths to control myself but couldn't I need to see her or else I don't know what I'll do.

****

Venessa's POV.

"you idiot! Open the door and let me out now," I shouted at Cole and a man standing at the door. I was peeping through the hole in the door and screaming at them to open this damn door. It was my only work since these two days, shouting and screaming at them continuously. Somehow it puts me away from Enzo's thoughts, and I don't want to think about him and cry all over again. A mere thought of him brings back all those things which I'm trying hard to forget. I can't deny and convince myself that I don't love him. I love him, and I hate myself for that, it only proves that I'm a fool.

"Shut up kid," The other guy shouted at me.

"I won't, what will you do? Kill me?"

"I swear on god she would be dead by now if the boss wouldn't want her alive," he said looking at Cole.

"Hello, I'm right here," I said banging on the door.

"Let me out!!!" I yelled at them, They stood like statues, folding their arms across their chest.

I was frustrated, I want to get out of this room as soon as possible. I can't stay in this room, staying alone and doing nothing brings his memories which are painful to remember. I've cried all night remembering our memories together, and I can't believe those are all lies, I can't blame him completely for this, there is my mistake too. My mistake is to trust him and believe everything he said. My mistake is to ignore my friend's warnings about him, my mistake is to accept that job without asking any questions about why I'm getting it. There are plenty of mistakes which I can't deny.

"Open the door!!" I screamed and kicked the door.

"If you don't open this door, I swear I'll bite you both when you come inside," I said, looking at them with a serious expression on my face.

They looked at each other before they could say anything. I could hear footsteps coming over the room. They turned to someone,

"Open it," That man said, I immediately recognized his voice.

Cole opened the door and led him in; I stepped back from the door. Nickolai stepped inside with a blank expression on his face. He put his hands in his pockets and was wearing a white shirt with top buttons open displaying his toned chest. He stared at me for a few seconds, and I was standing still without moving a muscle, it was a bit uncomfortable. After what felt like an eternity he spoke, "Why are you troubling them?"

"I'm troubling them?" I said in disbelief, "you guys are troubling me by locking me up in this damn room, for god knows how many days you'll keep me here." I said, Irritated by them.

"It's for your own good," he said, like an obvious thing.

"My own good? Do you think it's good to sit here alone and do nothing?... I don't want to be alone in this room Nickolai, please let me out. I swear I won't run away from here," I said.

I can see him thinking about it; he was quiet for a while and spoke up.

"Okay, I will not lock you up, you can come outside," he said while turning around and walking outside. I quickly walked behind him out of the room.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I ran across him, towards the stairs. I hear cole screaming to stop, While I was running down the stairs, I hear him say, okay boss, Curiously I turned around while running towards the huge door through the big living room, I see Cole nodding at Nickolai and standing still at the door while Nickolai put his hand in his pockets and smirking at me.

I turned to the door and ran as fast as I could. I was about to reach the door but The door opened and a huge German Shepherd slowly walked inside. I abruptly stopped running looking at it; I looked back and saw him walking downstairs with a goddamn smirk on his face.

I turned to look at the dog and gulped hard due to fear. The German Shepherd dog walks over a blue carpet of autumnal leaves. He has a steady gait and his fur color is softened by the golden light. With eyes so intelligent and sharp. There is something of the wise wolf in the eyes of the German Shepherd dog, a gentleness that speaks of his noble heart. The dog let out a low growl when I tried to walk by.

"Please doggy, let me go" I requested the dog, but it was continuously growling at me.

"Please doggy, I'll buy you tasty dog food and lots of chocolates and...and ... Chicken...and....your favorite food, whatever you want please let me go...please" I begged and tried to move past him, but the goddamn dog barked at me. I let out a small scream and jumped back out of fear. I turned back to look at Nickolai standing calmly and watching me beg the dog.

"Dimitri, get her to me," he said to the dog.

As soon as he left his mouth I quickly turned to the dog. It started barking and launched at me, I screamed and ran to the kitchen.

"Ah!! Let go," I ran around the kitchen counter, and He followed me.

*bow*bow*

"Dimitri!!" I screamed when he jumped on me; I moved past and ran from there.

*bow*bow*

"Ah!!!"

It followed me wherever I went, I ran to the couch and tried to hide but that dog caught my T-shirt and pulled me towards Nickolai. I stood up and tried to free my t-shirt from his mouth, he growled at me. He pulled me till we reached Nickolai, He let me go after he handed me over to Nickolai.

"Damn dog" I greeted my teeth in anger,

*Bow*bow* he barked at me. I moved back from the dog.

He sat in front of us; I was caught between the dog and Nickolai. I nervously looked up at him and saw him staring at me.

"Heard you won't run away," he said tilting his head to the left side. I glanced at him and quickly looked down at my hands.

"Dimitri is your guard now, Be careful he may bite you if you misbehave." He said, Dimitri walked over to him, Nickolai bent down and rubbed his head. "Good boy," he said to the dog, Dimitri was wagging his tail for what Nickolai said.

I looked at the dog and gulped hard, "No you can't just put a dog behind me like that," I said,

"I can," he said, looking up at me.

"He will bite me Nickolai," I said with fear evident in my voice.

"Be a good girl, he won't!" he said and walked away leaving me with this demon dog.

*bow*bow*
