DESTINED TO BE THEIR'S

CHAPTER 5

WRITER’S POV

They all were now standing outside the room, Aaron and Vicenzo were looking at Cristian with apprehension and worry, worst kind of thoughts ran in their minds when they saw the livid expression of Christian, it wasn’t the first time they had seen their eldest brother burning in so much rage but this time there was a difference, he was angry at himself.

“I looked at her wrists and they were bruised ...the bruises were due to some metal chains or cuffs” the bomb dropped on them by their brother was unexpected ,. Even the thought of someone hurting her made Aaron and Vicenzo incensed ...their knuckles turned white from clenching their fists too hard ,.burning rage flew through their body like a hot molten lava which demanded nothing but only destruction, fury was sweeping off them like ferocious waves. while telling them this Christian was also burning with the same rage ...he wanted to torture all those people to death who dared to mess with their mate.

“How dare anybody touch her....when I’ll find them I’ll kill them with my own bare hands ” Vicenzo vowed with menace dancing in his furious eyes.

"we’ll kill them” Aaron and Christian declared in unison after all no one gets to hurt their mate and get past it.

AFTER 4 HOURS

*beep**beep**beep*

“arghhh, what is this annoying sound ...it disturbed my sleep, huh but my head is hurting way too much ..mum please give me some pain killers, my head is throbbing wa-” she whined, still half asleep but as soon the ‘mum’ word escaped her mouth she woke up with a jerk expecting everything to be nightmare only to face the harsh reality again

neither she was in her house nor there were her parents to give her their morning kisses, the room she woke up in was huge and luxurious...she moved a bit but hissed in pain when her whole body ached in immense pain ..groaning she touched her head but realized that it was wrapped with some bandage, an IV was attached to the back of her hand, removing the warm silky duvet off of her, she gasped when she found herself only dressed in some man’s shirt, her knees and ankle were bandaged too, adrenaline flooded her system as the last night horrible incidents dawned upon her . the harsh reality of her life almost killed her soul ...her parents were dead, and now she was all alone in this unknown place with no information of where she was or who brought her here.

She intake a harsh breath when the red-eyed monster’s figure flashed in the back of her mind, dread-filled her senses thinking about the same people kidnapping her again, or worst the red-eyed monster she was running away from.

She desperately wanted to hide herself in the embrace of her parents but now she knew she couldn’t, they were gone and they would never come back, this reality made her cry even more. but a sudden fear dominated all her other emotions, the fear of being all alone in the strange place, all her seventeen years of life she was shielded by her parents who treated her more like some porcelain doll, she depended on them for everything, she never stepped out of her house without them even though she rarely stepped out but now the shield was gone, she was left all unprotected, her mind was going blank …even though she was 17, she was like a kid who got lost in the crowd and was desperately trying to find her parents

“no I promised my dad and mum that I’ll protect myself .......I am strong” she encouraged herself trying to calm down her racing heartbeats.

10 …9….8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1

She followed the old trick to get her breathing back to normal, rubbing her hand over heart she took a deep breath again, she needed to think straight, she can’t let her dad and mum disappointed …she scratched the back of her neck in frustration but when she touched the cold metal around her neck, her face lit up with happiness …the locket that her dad had tied around her neck

The card …

Trevor …..

Trevor was her best friend since childhood even more like a brother to her. His parents and her parents were best friends but after his parent’s death he moved in with them but suddenly two years back he left and wasn’t even in contact with them ..

‘I want my answers and dad said that trevor knows everything I’ll go to him ...he’ll tell me everything’ with the new found determination and courage she removed the IV and hissed in pain but that was nothing compared to the pain of loosing her parents, she then swung her feet on the floor but yelped in pain when an extensive pain shot through her ankle , she gulped down all the pain and again tried to walk only to feel the falling sensation .

But before she could even touch the floor two arms prevented her from falling ..the same warmth rushed through her body , the same secured embrace , for a moment she thought her dad was back but her hopes shattered yet again when her deep forest green eyes met with the ocean blue , for a second she forgot to breath …those eyes had held her captive , hypnotized and she was willingly drowning herself in the depth of them , the arms around her waist made her body feel weird yet amazing sensations . she was in the arms of an unknown man but all she felt was safe , warm and secure .

On the other hand , aaron had stopped blinking , his ocean blue eyes kept staring her emerald ones , they held so much innocence , so much brightness that he wanted to get lost in them , for him they felt like heaven .

he blinked when she was suddenly taken away from his arms he cursed under his breath and wanted to kill the interrupter so much but couldn’t because the intruder was none other than Vicenzo himself who had the equal rights on her .

grace caught her breath, surprised by the suddenness, she tried to wriggle in his arms but when she looked at him in the eyes she couldn’t help but get lost in them , his grey eyes reminded her of ashes and smoke blowing in the wind coming from a fire that burned everything to the ground. They were intense, coming from that fire that burned deep within his soul ...those eyes were enough to melt her heart ...she was so drowned in fascinating them that she didn’t even knew she was already in the bed with her back against the headpost of the bed .

“care to explain why did you step out of the bed” the deep husky voice freed her from those captivating eyes only to admire the pair of violet eyes .

“now will you mio fiore” his voice boomed across the room and she could listen to it all day. It was a voice to sink in as it wraps you up. Yet, vibrating with power and command. It was a voice with authority as a kindly laugh shook the ground like a storm.

“will you now” the sudden raise in his voice broke all the restraints that held her captive , her numb senses got back to their original self . A chill ran through her spine as she got conscious of her surrounding . It made her shudder as a freezing cold wind would wake someone. her blood ran cold and a bead of sweat dripped down her face. she sat their helpless , not knowing what to do and too scared to even think. . The fear had overtook her again and she started trembling furiously ...all of the pain , emotions and the sufferings that her innocent heart was bearing came back again …

“don’t Chris...not now ..see her situation she is scared ” aaron warned chris as he looked at her trembling figure

“yeah ron is right brother” Vicenzo agreed with aaron and glared at Christian for his stupidity .

While the brothers were busy in glaring at Christian ,grace was finding it harder to breath in the presence of the three unknown men . she clutched her knees and cried silently , all she wanted right now was her parents .

Her low wails broke down their glaring competition .

“hey calm down tesoro , we won’t hurt you....my name is Vicenzo De Romano and these are my brothers Christian De Romano and Aaron De Romano” Vicenzo introduced himself and his brothers to the trembling girl In his calm soothing voice .
