Captured by Leo

Leonardo

"I want to be a ballerina when I grow up, and you both will come to ever show rather you like it or not. Sit through the boring play while a guy lifts me up in the air and spins me around."

"Ohhh you do that while Leo and I will be holding our guns until the show ends, go behind stage and find that guy who touched you. Beat the living s**t out of him then come and hand you flowers, telling you how proud we are of our little sister."

"You can be whatever you want princess, we'll support you no matter what. Now eat so Leonidas can take you to school, I have unfinished business to attend. I'll come and pick you up after school."

"Ok, will you stay for ballet class? The teacher has the hots for you."

"Alexia!"

"Fine, but you will be there for the show next week? I want both of you to come, I don't care if you're busy. You both are coming, end of discussion."

"She's so demanding, all your fault for spoiling her Leo."

"I love you too Leonidas, but I love Leonardo more."

"Yea, yea! Let's go princess. See you later Leo."

"Finish eating princess."

"Um...I'm full..mwah. love you Leo. Always will."

"Bye princess."

"Bye!"

"Leo, did you pick up Alexia from school?" In a horrified tone he asked.

"What? No! Where is she?"

"I don't know, I'm trashing the entire school. They said someone came and took her on your behalf, where the f**k is she?"

"I'm coming, don't kill anyone."

"f**k, I'll kill whoever I want. Get your a*s over here now."

.

.

.

.

"Sir, he told me that he was one of your men-"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME!"

"Sir please, I didn't know. I thought he was one of your men. He said it was urgent and that you had to have her without any delay. I'm sorr-"

"Pray to God she's alive or I will come back here and kill you."

.

.

.

"Leo, it's been a month. Please stop doing this to yourself."

"Boss, a package came in the mail with this note attached to it."

"Happy birthday Leonardo Dente"

"What's in it? Who is it from?"

"I don't know, you want me to open it?"

"Hand it over!"

"Oh god!"

"f**k!"

"What the hell is that.....Alexia"

"No, no, no."

.

.

.

.

"Leo, Leo help me. You promised, you promised me... let me gooooooo. LEOOOOOOOOO."

"AHHHHHHHH I'm going to f*****g kill them all."

"Leo, get up man." My eyes snapped opened. Nick was in front of me, holding onto my shoulder. "You were having a nightmare, are you okay?”

Nodding my head I blew off a heavy sigh. “have we arrived yet?"

“Yea, we landed ten minutes ago. You sure you're good?" He asked in a concerned  tone. 

"Absolutely fine, let's go."

"Leo, you need help man. I mean it, go see someone and talk about what hurts you and these dreams are hunting your nights. Just-"

"One more word Nick and I'll hurt you."

"f**k man, f*****g talk. Talk to me, talk to anyone. Just don't keep it in."

"I am warning you Nic-"

"I f*****g don't care, look what you've become. Yea you weren't innocent before this, but you weren't like this. You just kill and hurt people without any remorse or feelings. And the sick part about it, you enjoy it. f**k man, I'm trying to help you. I want my friend back."

I stood up and towered over him. 

"She's not here anymore, I was soft and kind for her only. So she won't feel scared, but now she's gone. There's no need to be soft and kind anymore, speak about this matter one more time and I promise you won't be able to move for the rest of your life."

"I'll say one more thing, even if it gets me killed. There is a reason for you to change, that reason is waiting for you in your room. That's if you want her to stay. Cause she won't if you never seek help, you two need serious consultation, therapeutic help to get the f*****g demons out of you and the demons you placed in her. You're mad, sick in the head. Now she is the same, cause you made her that way. Good luck trying to make her sane again, you'll need it."

He pushed me to the side before walking towards the exit door. 

"Welcome Don Alessandro, I advise you to not push her to remember anything right now. She needs time to heal, I'll be looking after her in the hospital I work in." Nick stated as Alessandro walked in. 

He didn't bother answering him, he just walked up to his wife that was lying on a bed. "It's been so long amore, I've missed you." He whispered as he took her hand. "I've searched everywhere for you, I apologize for what you and my bambino have been through. They will pay, I promise you they will."

He looked over to Nuli's parents that were tied up together, his eyes raged. Pulling out his g*n, he pointed it to the man's head. 

"Alessandro, not now. We need to know who's behind this and why. You can kill them after we know the truth." I declared firmly. 

"You still have to answer to me Leonardo, you didn't tell me about my daughter earlier. How long has she's been with you?"

"Your daughter is mine, you can't do anything about that." I stated while walking up to him. Staring him intensely, "She is mine, you try to take her away from me, well, let's just say you know what I'm capable of. So don't test me."

"My dear boy, my family is coming with me rather you like it or not. Let's not cause a feud between our families. We should stick together and fight as one, my wife and daughter will be with me. Thank you for-"

"Heh, I don't think you understand Alessandro. I sure as hell won't repeat myself. They're both staying with me, do I make myself clear?"

"How about we let Rachel decide for herself. I think you should go home and see her, that's if she's still there." He said with a chuckled. 

"Very well."

"Very well indeed my boy."

~~~~

Rachel... 

"Please don't leave, he will go mad. Please Rachel I beg you not to go." Victoria cried out. 

But no, I can't stay here. I just can't. 

"I need to breath, I feel suffocated and lost. I can't stay here Victoria, he's killing me slowly, my mind is going crazy."

"He won't be happy-"

"I DON'T CARE!" I shouted. 

"You should leave then before he comes. Go, and here I thought you'd be the one to help him-"

"Are you mad, help him? How? Why should I?"

"Because you love him. And he love you. And I want my Leo back. No one has been able to pull him out of his misery but you."

"If r****g me is how he putting out his misery then I don't want it."

"Oh listen to you, you've enjoyed it as well. Don't blame him for what you feel, I hardly call it r**e from what I hear from you two. You sound more like lover."

My mouth fell open, she was...

"Leave. Me. Alone. GET OUT, JUST GET OUT." I yelled while shoving her out the room. 

I stopped, froze in my spot as I watched him stand there. 

"Push her again and I will hurt you amore."

I felt my lungs collapse, my body shook. Why did he have to be here when I was ready to leave? 

"Get back in the room, we need to talk." He whispered in a dangerous tone. 

"I swear Leo, if you harm a single hair on her. I will leave and never come back here, make her stay. You need her." Victoria cried as she gripped his shirt. 

"Go downstairs, I'll be there soon." He told her before making his way over to me. 

I took a step back into the room, he locked the door shut without breaking eye contact with me. 

"There's nothing you can say or do that will make me want to stay here with you. I'm going home with brothers, now move out the way."

"Now amore, you know that I can't let you go. This is your home now, you belong here, in my arms. Your legs wrapped around me while I'm buried in you. Are you going to deny what you feel for me? Cause I sure as hell am not denying that I...." He stopped talking. 

This is what he wants, to f**k with my mind. But I won't let him, I don't have any feelings for him. 

"I'm not staying here-"

"Fine, you can leave after I have one last night with you. Then you're free to go."

"No Leo!"

"Buttface, not Leo."

Stop it, stop it. 

He was standing before me, caressing my cheeks with both hands. Pulling up my face towards him, I stared into his eyes. "One last time before you leave amore. I won't come after you, nor bother you ever again. I promise you I won't, just one last time my love." His lips fanned over mine, he was lying to me. He won't ever let me go no matter what I do. 

"You said you can't keep your promises. Your lying, I want to-"

"You will leave, just one last night amore."

"I don't want to do-"

"It is my birthday amore, I want you to erase the painful memories I have on this cursed day." He whispered, then paused. "One last night, let me be happy and forget. That's all I want. There's blades inside my heart that wanted to be removed, remove them then leave. I'll deal with the pain after, just-"

I pulled him by his neck, causing my lips to connect with his. 

A deep sigh huffed from his chest as his arms wrapped around me, pulling me into his embrace. 

Demons were dancing around us, not caring for the aftermath. I drowned in him, knowing I won't ever see him again. 

This feeling is temporary. 

This feeling isn't real. 

This feeling was f*******n. 

A sin like no other. 

My mind was gone, madness took over me. I knew there was no cure for me to be who I was before. 

Might as well dance in hell for tonight. 

His arms held me as his prisoner, his kisses made me feel as his savior. 

Corruption of Leo was in my vains, in my mind, and for a moment. I felt him in my heart. 

Beating to his rhythmic touches, I felt him like I never did before. 

Tonight he felt different, or was it in mind? 

Have I gone mad? 

What was he doing to me? 

Lost in his essence, he lifted me up. 

Locking both legs around his waist. 

I wasn't undressed, he was taking his time. Building the desire to crave him. 

Why doesn't he do what he always does? 

He loves playing with my emotions, he enjoys every moment of it. 

Buried in the crook of my neck, he inhaled deeply. As if he was trying to memorize my scent, locking it in a vault that was in the back of his mind. 

Would he forget me once I'm gone? 

Would he have another woman sharing his bed? 

Why did this hurt so much? 

"A century of apologizes won't ever do justice or take back what I've done to you. But just know, you healed a part of me that I never knew could be healed. I want to take you now and hold you against your own will, but fear so badly." He stated loudly. 

Placing me down while looking up into his red eyes that screamed out pain. 

I cried, not knowing what for. 

"You are free amore, try not to forget me." He said, looking down at me. 

With one last gentle kiss on my lips, he ran his hands on my cheeks before kissing my forehead. 

My heart ached. 

My heart stopped. 

He...killed me. Mentally. 

"Leave amore, I..."

I didn't want to listen anymore, I ran out the room. Down the stairs, until I was in Armino's arms. 

"I want to leave....I want to leave...take me away from here...I can't anymore...please...help me. I...I.. I'm-"

"Shh, breath bella. It's alright, let's go." He said while wrapping an arm around me before leading me out the door. 

"Rachel...please don't leave me here. You don't understand...it-"

"Shut up!" I yelled at Nuli. 

It was all her fault I was in this madness. All her fault I was crazy, all her f*****g fault he took me. 

Adamo was behind her, pulling her towards the basement door. "Don't worry Rachel, you'll be the one who will kill her. I sure will miss you, I apologize for any harm I did to you. Bye love." Adamo stated, pushing a screaming Nuli down the basement stairs. 

Standing besides Armino, I faced Alma and Victoria who had tears in their eyes. 

"I hate him, but take care of him for me. I'll keep in touch with you. I-"

"Let's go bella." Armino whispered. 

They waved bye as I stared back at them. Almost entering the car that was parked outside, a loud roaring sound echoed so loud, I felt my heart shattered into a million pieces. 

~~~~

Leonardo... 

"Stop....please Leo.. stop." Alma cried out as I trashed the room apart. 

It won't go away, I thought it would be easy. But it wasn't, the pain hurts so deep. 

I shouldn't have let her go. 

I shouldn't....have. 

I feel to my knees, Alma hugged me from behind. Crying her heart out. 

"Do tears help ease the pain dear cousin?" I asked.

"I fear if you cry a lifetime, nothing will ever heal your pain Leo. I'm so sorry, I know you feel for her. But what you did was the right thing."

"Why do I feel that it wasn't."

She walked around to stand before me, pulling me up. "Because, for once." She placed her hand on my chest. "It beats, I wish you meet her differently. But she is lost, so are you. What you need is space, time apart from each other. I know she has feeling for you. She just needs to-"

"Having feeling for a man who-"

"Shhh, I know what you did was wrong. You know that too. You need to rip out those demons in you. I thought she would have been the one to help you. But, I guess I was wrong. I don't know what to say Leo. Just-"

"Alma." Her voice rang throughout the room. 

Alma's eyes widen, my heart paced so quickly. I felt it stop again as she spoke. "Can you please leave us alone, I want to talk with Leo."

Alma gripped my hands as the smile on her face grew bigger. I didn't dare to turn back and look at her. I was dreaming, she left. I saw her leave. 

I had to be dreaming. 

The door locked, footsteps moved closer to me. A hand was placed on my shoulder, but I didn't move. 

She's not here, your mind is playing tricks on you. 

"Look at me Leo."

See, if it was her she would have said buttface. She's not real, I'm dreaming. 

"Buttface, turn around."

"Leave!"

"I tried, but I can't. Look at me god damn it."

Slowly as I could, I faced her. 

Her hand connected to my left cheek so hard, I felt sting still. "I f*****g hate you." She smacked me again. 

"You ruined my life." She smacked me once more. "I want to kill you for f*****g with my mind."

She gave me every hit, smacked, scratch, kicks she had in her. Until stopping completely in exhausting. 

She came back to release her anger then leave. Ok, let her. I deserve it. I deserve everything. And was going to take it without any questions. 

"You went and got my mother, why didn't you tell me that?"

"You should leave amore, as you can see." I waved around the trashed room. "I want to finish what I started."

"I’m  not leaving buttface, I'm f****d big time thanks to you."

"Aren’t  we all amore." I fell to my knees, hugging her legs. "I don't know what to do, I really don't know. So spare me the pain and leave me instead of torturing me this way."

"We need to talk about something, even if I leave. Apart of you will always be with me.”

I looked up at her. 

“I'm pregnant Leo."
