Chapter 5 Safe

Isabella's POV

Alex takes me home. I feel bad because it's out of his way.

Im from the Lorenzo family in Italy. We're a big name there. My parents they have money. They wanted me to marry Dmitri Orlov, the Russian Mafia Don. They didn't actually want it, he did. They knew he was very powerful so they went along with it. They didn't want to go against him.

He has stalked me, had me kidnapped, flew back to Russia, to Italy. He's crazy. He's obsessed.

We met at a gala I went with my parents to when I was sixteen. That gala started his obsession. He says I'm his. He waited til I was eighteen to start his craziness atleast. That's when shit hit the fan.

I moved from Italy to the United States. This is the fifth time I've had to move in eight months

Everytime I get a job, he finds me. That's why I fight. I was trained to do so. I'm also very good at it. I'm also underestimated as well giving me an advantage.

Alex has a one bedroom small cabin in the woods an hour out of town. It is by a lake, trees everywhere. I love it. He won't let me pay him anything but I keep trying.

"Here you go beautiful. Let me walk you up and check inside. It would make me feel better." He pleads with his eyes.

I nod my head and we walk hand in hand to the door. He takes my keys and we walk in.

It takes him no time at all to check the entire cabin.

There's a living room/kitchen a bedroom and a bathroom. It's very small but big enough for me.

"Would you like some company." He asks with a raised brow.

"Of course, but Alex, you don't have to. You can go if you have something to do." I say as I put my purse and things on the counter and slip off my shoes.

"You know your my girl. Come on, what are we watching." He asks as he takes me by the hand and leads me to the bedroom.

This is usually our routine. He takes me home and then stays with me to keep me company. I think he's just afraid Dmitry will find me and I'm too far away from everyone.

"Go change baby girl. I'll find us something to watch. Would you like me to make dinner? You haven't ate have you?" He asks as he's thumbing through the stations.

"Are you hungry? I can put on a pizza for us." I peek my head out of the door in the bathroom.

"I'll put it on. Oh, is my baby girl undressed." He says as he walks towards the bathroom.

"Alex" I squeal as he cups my face and kisses my nose. "Beautiful" he says as he walks away and puts on our pizza.

I jump in the shower. After fighting I feel dirty. I definitely don't like that feeling. So a quick shower is what it is.

"Can I join you baby girl." He laughs.

"Awe shucks, you could have but your just a little to late." I say as I have a towel around me and I'm towel drying my hair.

"Come here baby girl. Let me dry your hair." He says as he reaches his hand out to me.

Once my hair is dry and our pizza is done we go to my bedroom and sit on the bed.

He laughs as he puts on some black and white horror movie. It's watchable.

After we eat, we sit and talk. We pay little attention to the movie but mainly just eachother.

I don't know what's gotten into him tonight. He's never this clingy. This lovey dovey. Yeah he always calls me his baby girl but tonight is different. The vibe is different. I could be just reading the situation all wrong. Yeah that's what it is. It started back at the club when I grabbed his hand and he bit me on my ear. How I gasped for air and got breathless.

I'm feeling a bit tired. I can tell he is as well.

"Hey, you can go and rest Alex. I'll be fine, I promise." I said softly as I laid my head on his shoulder.

"No, we're both tired. I don't really want to drive back home tonight anyways. Plus, I like the company here." He winks at me and lays down. He pats the bed in front of him. I lay down and he scoots up behind me. His front flush to my back. He wraps his arms around me.

"Thank you Alex." I say in a whisper.

He kisses the back of my head.

"Sleep baby girl. Your safe. I'm here. I'll never let anyone hurt you."
