My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 27

Then I started panting the door heavily.

After a moment, the door was unlocked and suddenly all the fear filled in me. What if someone wants to kill me?

I stepped back as the door unlocked and I saw him.

Vincent Smith.

Chris

I know this was wrong, but I was fucked up.

I continued kissing her and finally, after a long time, we parted.

"You haven't changed, you are still a great kisser!" she appreciated me like always.

"But..." I scoffed. "I don't love you"

"I know," she took a step towards me. "And I don't have any problems. I will win your trust and love again"

"I don't think it is easy"

"I didn't say it was easy, and I didn't say I do easy things"

I smiled faintly and she did too, while she looked at the surroundings. 

"I am sure..." she whispered. "That the media saw me coming here"

"It is alright, I will manage it," I smiled. "Like always"

"Like always," she repeated.

I took her hand and she looked at me with confusion. "I know I don't love you, but still, I feel this attraction. I think maybe someday I would be able to love you again, but can you..." 

She put another hand on mine. "Yes, Chris. I will be your girlfriend"

I smiled and hugged her. Maybe we have an understanding that no one else has ever had. Look how she knew what I was gonna say even before I could say it. We are meant for each other.

"But, I have a condition"

"Yes"

"You will remove Ashley and anything that reminds you of her, from your life"

"I will" 

She smiled. "Great, Chris... time to make amends"

"Yes"

"I wanted to... I wanted to move in here. Will that affect our business?" she questioned.

Yup, she always has been this quick.

"Well... I gave it a thought, and it was fine according to me. "It is okay. Let's make our relationship public"

"But you just made your relationship public... with Ashley"

Yes... that would make me look like a playboy.

"So... can you wait for a few days?"

"Sure"

I smiled at her. Ashley, you are out of my life from now.

Ashley

I stepped back as I saw him.

"You are my fiancée" 

"B-but..."

"Your marriage was decided years ago by your mother," he continued. "You are mine to hold and keep"

"B-but why would she marry me... I-I mean engage me to someone like you..."

"Someone like me?" He came to me and before I could move back, he grabbed my arm.

"V-Vincent, p-please..."

He looked at me confused and scoffed. "Why did my mom engage me to someone like you!" He exclaimed.

I kept quiet. 

"You are the first and the last person to call me by my name in the last decade. But I won't stop you, you have the right, love..." he smirked at me.

"Y-you don't like me, right? So, why marry me or even stay around someone like me... let go"

He clicked his tongue. "I like you"

I felt like crying. Why did this happen to me? First Chris did that... and now...

"Sit down, you are gonna marry me tomorrow, not today," he said and dragged me to the bed and I sat down. "Wait for me"

He went out after that. Does he really expect me to "wait" for him?

I looked around and then I did understand why the walls and everything was dark- after all it was The Vincent Smith's room. It has to have the darkest colors and the gloomiest aura.

I sighed thinking about my escape. Should I even try to escape? This is ridiculous. If he did find me from there- how can I even think of getting out of this?

If there is a way to live, it is to please him. I know that it seems ridiculous or maybe insane, but Vincent is the biggest mafia boss known. He is the cruelest man, and the people who know him either die for him, or die from him. How can I think of escaping someone like him?
