She pressed the knife deeper to my throat. I could feel the sting and blood beginning to trickle down my neck.
"I gave you a chance to leave and never come back, why didn't you take it?"
I looked into those deep gre...

ARES RUSSO
It's been a month and I'm living in agony.
I haven't called her, I haven't texted her and it's been hard. So hard I haven't seen my phone. I locked it away somewhere just so I don't call her and now I forgot where I hid it. Stupid I know.
"I'm being serious!" Luigi shouts and Dom laughs his head off.
"So how will they know that I have a girlfriend?" Saying that word seems so natural. It rolls off my tongue so smoothly.
"These people can stalk you and see for themselves. She's a weakness and I've seen what they did to your father-- " he caught himself before he could finish his sentence.
"What?" Dom asked and Luigi darted his eyes around the room. Everyone was looking at him curiously, waiting for him to answer.
They tortured my father to give away my mother's location. We were fifteen and living with Luigi's family. I haven't been more afraid for my life. My father would not give up his location. Mainly because I was a valuable heir to the line of assassins but I'd like to think he cared.
He did, he cared too much to give up our location.
"It was a long time ago, no need to wallow in old stories." I exhale a tight breath and leaned back on the plush sofa.
"But he's right; she is at risk. She has no clue what you do and if there even is a slight possibility that they know, they'll use it to their advantage." Gia chirps in and I'm almost too anxious to hear her.
"But I can protect her, I'm more than capable to." I retort and she reaches a hand on my shoulder.
"I have no doubt in my mind that you are, but I'm more scared for you than her. I wouldn't like to lose my brother over a girl he fell in love with." Her voice softened and made my heart sing in her direction.
Dom snorts.
"You are all being ridiculous, you're jumping to conclusions. Let Ares live his life with his beautiful and sexy lady. I'm more than happy to fight off any motherfucker who wants to bring them apart." Dom shrugs and takes a swig of his beer. "What I will not allow is you lot planting impossible scenarios into his head. I vote we let him be and wait out the two months until his lady comes back."
"I second that." I point to him and since Jessica isn't here, we're tied to two on two. "Come on, she's so secretive I don't think she'd allow me to hold her hand in public."
"That's not wha-- okay listen, just consider it." Gia shrugs and walks away.
As she's walking away, Dom has his middle fingers pointed out at her and mouthing Russian swear words. Luigi rubs his forehead and sighs.
