    Isabelle didn't think she had ever been this afraid in her life before. There had been little moments of fear in the past but none of it had compared to when she was walking to her car after a long day at work as a physiotherapist. She had just been about to her car when out of nowhere, men were on either side of her. A bag was pulled over her head and a hand over her mouth. She could feel the cool metal against her back as a gun was pressed against her shirt. Panic shot through her as she moved, doing as she was told. She was maneuvered into the back of a black suv where her hands were tied in front of her. The first time she had tried to speak, she earned a swift punch to her stomach. After that she didn't dare speak again.

    She was shaking, tears falling as she tried to curl up as much as she could in the back of the suv. It was nearly forty minutes before the car pulled to a stop where she was dragged out. Isabelle stumbled after them, being guided into the house they had arrived to. They stopped in front of a wooden door where one of the men gripping her bicep knocked several times over.

    Isabelle winced as the grip tightened on her arm but she was quick to start moving when the man beside her stepped forward after the door was opened. She was shoved to her feet moments later. She hung her head, shuddering as the bag was ripped off of her head. She didn't so much as dare to look up, afraid of what would happen if she did. She had already tried to ask what was going on once and been hit for it - she didn't want to be hit again.

    The past week had been quite stressful. First, his shipment of meth was stopped at the border because his men were freaking idiots. Then, his men were freaking ratted on in their latest heist. An finally, that damn cop, Richard Forman, had to go and stick his damn nose in a place it wasn't needed. He was trying to turn the cops on his payroll back onto his side. The supposed good side. The idiot.

    There wasn't really anything that Matteo could do to get back at those damn idiots who took his shipment or ruined their heist, but. What he could do was send a message to that damn Richard fellow. An, right on time, the knock on his office door allowed for Matteo to know that his little plaything was here.

    "Enter." Matteo said as he leaned back in his chair. His arms crossing casually over his nicely pressed dress shirt. His dark eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he watched his men pull in a young woman with legs for days. "Take that off of her, she doesn't need it anymore." He instructed his men as he kept his gaze on the young woman.

    "Please, have a seat." Matteo said as he motioned with one hand for the woman to take the seat across from him. His desk being the only thing that'll be seperating them. "Do you have any idea of why you're here?" He asked her, keeping things casual as his men moved to stand outside of the door so that they could speak in private.

    Isabelle curled in on herself when Matteo told her to sit, terrified of what was going to happen to her. She had no idea what this man had planned for her but she was sure that whatever it was wouldn't be pleasant for her. She winced slightly as she pushed herself to her feet, her eyes on the floor as she lowered herself into one of the chairs in front of Matteo's desk. She squeezed her eyes shut, shaking her head at Matteo's question.

    "N-No.. I just.. I was leaving work and... they just threw me in a car," Isabelle whispered, as if the man sitting opposite of her didn't know that already. She raised her hands, wiping away her tears as she refused to look up. She didn't know what she was and wasn't allowed to do and the last thing that she wanted to do was be hurt again.

    She swallowed, wondering if Richard already realized she was missing. Her ride home from work was only ten or so minutes... Richard should have been waiting for her. Surely he realized it. He was hopefully already figuring out something to do with her disappearance. "I-I.. I don't have a whole lot of money. So if that's it, I'm sorry... and I.." she trailed off, worrying at her bottom lip as she realized she had no idea any other reason she could possibly be here for.

    "I don't have to tell anyone about this. I won't tell anyone.. I just want to go home."

    A casual hum escaped from Matteo as he listened to the young girl that was in front of him. She was scared out of her mind, and that fact alone amused the hell out of him. It was a good sign, she wasn't as stupid as she looked or for getting caught up with a damn cop.

    "It's a shame," Matteo said casually as he sat up straight in his chair. His fingers intertwining and resting on his desk as he leaned forward. "To think, a girl that belongs to a cop would be so clueless to the world around her. What a pity." Matteo murmured, his head shaking back and forth ever so slightly. "I take it you don't know anything about you man's dealings?"

    Of course, she wouldn't, any decent man would keep that sort of shit private. A woman didn't need to worry about the ongoings of the world around her. All she needed to do, was to make sure she could spread her legs for her man and could cook a proper meal for when he was hungry. At least, in Matteo's world, that's how it should be.

    "He's been a very bad boy, Isabelle," Matteo said, revealing that he knew things about her. "Your fiance is in a very bad predicament, he's pissed off quite a few dangerous people." Slowly, Matteo licked over his lips, wondering what could be going through the young woman's mind at the moment. "Me included."

    Isabelle's gaze flitted around the room as she started piecing together what this whole situatin could possibly be about. She swallowed around the lump that formed in her throat, the color draining from her features at Matteo's last words. She only looked up to him then, panic flooding through her. "I.. I.. I don't have any idea what he's doing o-or what he's gotten into. I-I'm.. I'm sorry but I can't.. h-help you," she breathed, tears welling in her eyes.

    "But," she paused, wetting her bottom lip with her tongue. "I can talk to Rich when I get home. I can reason with him and then.. I'm sure that I can make him see some sense," Isabelle tried to reason with Matteo, having no idea if her promises had any affect on the man. She had no clue what Richard had gotten himself into but what other option did she have? She couldn't just.. stay here!

    "Whatever it is, I can get him to turn a blind eye," Isabelle paused, sniffling as she reached up to wipe at her tears. "He loves me and I'm sure that he would want to do whatever it took to keep me safe, right? S-So.. just let me go and I promise that whatever this is about, I can make it disappear. That's what you want, right?"

    With each second that past by, Matteo was becoming more and more sure that this Isabella girl was an idiot. Promises from a cop's girl meant little to nothing at all to him. How could one trust her? She was with the ones who didn't know the real way the world worked. The idiots who disrupted the underworld and threw a wrench in all of their plans.

    "Oh!" Matteo said, a pep in his voice as he had just heard the most amazing thing in the world. "In that case, let's do that!" Matteo said as he stood up from his chair. His right hand grazing the cool wood of his desk as he walked around to the side that Isabella was on. "I'll just let you walk out of here, maybe even give you a bag full of free party favors as a sign of good faith as you go and tell Richard all about how he needs to fuck off and stay out of my way."

    By the end of it, Matteo was leaning against the front of his best as he faced Isabella. His eyes that seemed pretty neutral about this whole discussion turned hard. His eyes growing darker than they already were. "You have no idea who I am, do you?" Matteo asked, tilting his head to the side as he watched the young girl's every move.

    Isabelle hadn't been fooled by Matteo's words as he moved around his desk. Panic shot through her as she began to realize that she was in far deeper than she thought she was. She had no idea what Richard had been getting his hands in but she knew that whatever it was.. it meant something awful for her. A pit formed in the bottom of her stomach as she stared down at her lap. She sniffled, pressing her back against the chair as Matteo neared her.

    She could only bring herself to shake her head to answer Matteo's question. "N-No.. I don't," she answered, swallowed thickly. Isabelle shuddered, wishing now more than ever that she could just disappear. The thought of whatever this man planned to do with her had her utterly terrified. She didn't have any clue who he was but she was sure that she was about to find out.

    "I'm sorry.. I don't see. w-what you could want from me. I'm sorry. I-I.. don't think there's any way that I can.. help you," Isabelle tried to reason, shifting uncomfortably in her seat as she tried to get a bit more comfortable. "Please, sir. I j-just.. I just want to go home," she whispered, closing her eyes tightly.

    A humph escaped from Matteo as he listened to the young woman that was in front of him. His right hand reached out and he gently grasped onto her chin as he forced her to look him in the eyes. "I'd like to go home as well, but I can't because your prick of a man got my house ransacked," Matteo said as he glared into her eyes.

    Then, he let her chin go as he sat up straight once again. His arms crossed as his eyes narrowed. "Alright, let's cut this crap," Matteo said, tired of running around the little plan he had in mind. "You're going to come with me, so stop this studdering shit. It pisses me off." He told her, cracking his neck from side to side to try and seem more intimidating to her. Which he figured wasn't very hard to do.

    "Now, get up. We're heading out." He said as he walked to the door. Opening it, Matteo muttered something to his men before they came back in with the bag that was over her head when she came in. "You're going to be my prisoner till your man pays up."

    Isabelle flinched as he forced her to look up to him. She swallowed around the lump that formed in her throat, staring up at him with wide eyes. Fear had settled in the pit of her stomach as she listened to him. She was realizing that she had no chance of going home and she had no idea what Richard had figured out already. She wanted so badly to reach out to him and beg him to come save her but she didn't think she was going to get a phone call. Not like they did in prison.

    She shuddered as the man cracked his neck, staring down at her lap. Isabelle's lips parted and she was ready to beg Matteo all over again but now, she found herself too terrified to even speak. She had pissed him off? She certainly didn't want to know what would happen if she did. Isabelle hung her head, squeezing her eyes shut.

    Isabelle raised on shaky legs, hugging her arms to her chest as she took a small step forward. Her stomach was twisted in a firm knot as she took another step forward. She tensed when the men appeared with a bag to pull back over her head. "Please," she whimpered, taking a step back suddenly. She didn't want the bag on her head again. She didn't want to be shoved into a vehicle. She didn't want to be hit for speaking. Isabelle squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for the worst.

    Not even waiting for the guys to fully put the bag over the girls head, Matteo pulled out a needle from his pocket and handed it to one of his men. He didn't want to deal with anymore begging for the night so he figured that knocking her out would be the better option.

    It was good that Matteo planned because it'll now also be easier to plot their next move. "Get her in the car, we're heading to my cottage." Matteo said as he instructed his men before he left. Leaving them to inject the girl and load her for him.

    --

    Once they arrived at Matteo's mansion, he walked up to the front door and unlocked it. Putting in the code for the alarm so that it wouldn't go off. "Put her on the couch." He said as he motioned to the great room to the right of the entrance.

    Isabelle glanced up, fear shooting through her when she realized that one of the men was stalking toward her with a needle in his hand. She started shaking her head, stumbling backward until she hit Matteo's desk. "P-Please.. n-no.. Please. Please!" SHe cried out as the needle was pressed into her skin, struggling against the man for a few moments before she started to drift off to sleep. She slumped against the desk, completely out of it.

    Groaning as she started to come to on Matteo's couch, Isabelle reached up to rub the sleep from her eyes. SHe froze when she realized her wrists were tied together and that was all it took before she remembered what had happened. Isabelle held her breathe, afraid to even look up because she knew that she wasn't alone. She had no idea what any of these people were planning to do with her but she was sure that whatever it was.. it wasn't going to be pleasant.

    That Isabella girl was asleep the whole night, so that gave Matteo time to relax. He had made some last preparations that needed to be done and then settled for the night. Tomorrow, he planned to bring up the reason for her kidnapping. As well as what was in store for her in case she decided that she wasn't going to cooperate with him.

    After getting up and getting ready for the day, Matteo had headed into his kitchen and made himself a cup of tea. Then, he walked slowly towards the great room where his new roommate was laying.

    "Ah, you're awake." He said as he spotted her and took a sip of his tea. "How'd you sleep?" He asked, the right corner of his lips twitching upwards as he tried to not smirk. He was going to have quite a bit of fun with her.

    Isabelle had wondered if she could make a run for it, when she started to remember what had happened the night before but she wasn't stupid. She had no idea where they were but she had an uncomfortable feeling that they weren't exactly in the middle of the city. She shivered, curling in on herself as much as she could. She had no idea why she was truly here but that didn't change the fact that she was utterly yterrified.

    She visibly jumped when Matteo appeared. Isabelle gulped, glancing in his direction before she looked away. Isabelle shrugged her shoulders, having no idea how the hell to answer his question. She had slept so well but at the same time, she felt exhausted. Isabelle winced as she tried to sit up, struggling a bit since her hands were tied in front of her.

    "I.. I don't know," Isabelle finally mumbled. She hung her head, chewing on the inside of her lip as she stared down at her lap. She pulled her knees to her chest, wanting to ask so many questions. How long was she going to be here? When was she going to be allowed to go home? She knew that her fiance was probably panicking by now, trying to figure out where she was and if she was okay. If she was safe. And she honestly didn't know the answer to either of those questions.

    "I-I.. I still don't know what you want from me," she whispered, refusing to look up from her lap.

    "Oh, I know." Was all Matteo said as he leaned against the doorway, then took another sip of his tea. His eyes focused on the young lady the whole time. A small smirk playing upon his lips as he watched how upset the young woman was. "I was hoping you were smart enough to figure that out yourself." He told her honestly, shrugging his shoulders as he finished his tea.

    Once he was done with his tea, Matteo walked into the room and sat down on the coffee table, facing her. "You don't know anything, do you?" Matteo asked as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he watched the young girl in front of him. "You poor ignorant girl." Matteo murmured, his lips moving into a frown as he slowly shook his head.

    Then, without saying anything, Matteo reached out and grabbed the girl's chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. "I guess that means I should stop wasting my time and kill you? Huh."

    Isabelle stiffened as Matteo moved to sit on the table near her. She was quick to shake her head before Matteo even finished his question because she didn't want him thinking that she knew something that she didn't. She was clueless when it came to what Matteo wanted from her or about what Richard had gotten himself in. She was innocent.

    Gasping as her chin was jerked upward, Isabelle's eyes widened as panic shot through her. She whimpered, shaking her head as much as she could given how tight his grip was. "N-No! Please!" She started to beg, tears welling in her eyes as she made eye contact with him. "I don't want to die. Please," she whimpered, shaking her head again.

    "I-I.. I don't know anything! Nothing about what Richard is doing or what he's gotten into. Please," Isabelle pleaded, reaching up to set her hands on his wrist. Her hands shook against his skin, her fear growing more and more evident. "Please don't," she whimpered. "I don't have anything to do with Rich's work. At all. I swear. I don't even know your name!"

    Nothing showed on Matteo's face as he listened to Isabelle speak. Her words filling his head and making him change his plans for her on the spot. She was innocent in this mess, she was useless on the intel. Although, she seemed to care deeply for that prick, with could in it's self be quite a good way to use against him.

    Releasing his grip on her chin after a few seconds, Matteo yanked his hand from her grasp and then quickly back handed the young girl. His eyes going from being neutral to dark and annoyed. "Don't touch me unless I give you permission." He growled out, not a hint of his casual self in his tone.

    "How close are you to Rich?" Matteo asked, sitting back on the table and crossing his arms over his chest as he formed an idea in his mind. He already knew everything about her and Richard's relationship, he just wanted to hear her thoughts of it.

    Isabelle cried out as Matteo lashed out, smacking her. She backed as far away from him as she could, whimpering as she held her cheek. She gave a tiny nod of her head, flinching when he moved to cross his arms. She had never been hit by someone before and while he hadn't reached out toward her a second time, she realized that he wasn't going to be afraid to hit her again. "I-I.. I'm sorry," she croaked, sniffling as she wiped at the tears that threatened to fall.

    "We're engaged.. we're supposed to be getting married in a few months," Isabelle explained quietly. She closed her eyes tightly, not even wanting to so much as lift her head at the moment. She knew that Matteo was dangerous and it terrified her because she had no idea what else he had in mind for her.

    Isabelle fell silent, having no idea what else she was supposed to say to the man. They were going to be married soon, they were supposed to start a life together. They wanted to have a family! The thought was jarring because she knew that she didn't want to tell Matteo that. She didn't know why but the thought of telling him that seemed like a horrible idea. "I.. I don't know what else to tell you."

    The fact that Isabella was cowering so easily after one simple slap pleased the man greatly. She'll be quite an easy one to break, she'll bend and mold to his likings quite easily, he was sure of it. It'll just take pressing a few buttons for that to happen.

    Reaching into his pocket without saying a word, Matteo pulled out Isabella's phone. He waved it around like it was a brand new toy. "You don't need to tell me anything else." He told her as he looked down at the phone and started to unlock it like it was his phone. "I want you to call him, tell him that you're done with him," Matteo said as he handed her the phone.

    "An in case you decide to go against me." Matteo twisted around on the coffee table, grabbed the remote and turned the tv on. On the screen showed the house that Richard lived in, with Richard pacing in the living room. "You have a clear shot?" Matteo asked, a black earpiece becoming visible to Isabella now that he was turned. "Yes sir, just need your okay." A voice said over the tv, as well as in the earpiece.

    Turning back to Isabella, Matteo grinned. "So? What's it gonna be?" He asked as he handed the phone towards her.

    Isabelle looked up with a frown, noticing her phone in his hands. She tensed when she noticed that he was able to unlock it like it was nothing - how long had Matteo been watching her? The thought made her skin crawl as she looked up to him. She scoffed at his words, shaking her head as she moved away from the offered phone. "N-No! I love him!"

    The color drained from her features as Matteo turned, the television screen coming to life in front of them. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of her fiance, her eyes flicking to the ear piece that had become visible. She let out a small sob, her eyes locked on Richard's pacing form. She slumped against the couch, her face contorting as she shook her head. She could barely make out Richard's form on the television, steadily crying as her body shook with sobs.

    "P-Please. Please. No. Don't do this," she begged. She wanted to reach out and touch him, reason with Matteo not to hurt Richard and not to make her do this. The thought of losing Richard was enough to break her. "Please. I-I.. I can't. I can't lose him," she sobbed, dropping her head forward. Reaching a shaky hand out, Isabelle took the phone from him and held it to her chest like it was a lifeline. "Please. Please... please don't.. I-I can't.. I can't do this."
