I swallowed another pill.

I'm fine Neveah! Really fine!


I heard the door handle being turned then I heard silence before a loud crack and the handle being turned again before Cristiano entered with Neveah behind him.

"GET OUT!!" I found myself yelling at them

"Royalty." Cristiano grabbed the packet of pills from me "How much did you take?"


"Give it back." I tried to grab it from him.

He held it up out of my reach using his six foot height to his advantage. I gave up and began to cry harder.


"Four." I answered softly

He tossed the packet to Neveah and pulled me into a hug.

"Cry Royalty. Cry." he said softly and I let it out.

It's was the second time I was crying on a boy.

First Geo now Chrissy!

"It hurts." I cried "What did I ever do to deserve this? WHAT DID I EVER DO?! If this is how love feels then I'll never fall in love again! I hate it! I HATE HIM! I HATE EVERYONE!!"

I found myself running out the bathroom. I did care if Cristiano just broke the lock for my bathroom, how many pills I swallowed or anything. I just wanted to get out. I kept running along the corridor even though I heard Neveah running after me and calling my name. My head felt heavy and my vision became slightly blurry but I kept running. I was at the end of the corridor when I felt my body beginning to shut down. I lost balance and began to fall but instead of falling to the hard ground I fell into warm arms.

"Damanico." I looked up into those familiar green eyes.

"I see I got out in perfect timing, mia cara." he smiled at me

"Royalty?" I heard Neveah calling my name

"Let's get you out of here." Damanico picked me up bride style "You need to rest."

I couldn't respond as my vision got really blurry.

How is he in six different places?

I closed my eyes and relaxed in his arms.

"It's good to see you again, Nobildonna." he said softly "I'm bringing you to my home. My father promised your father that our family will forever look after yours and I'm not going to break that bargain for money. It's a good thing I remembered when I bought you to Lucario. Let's go before you're found. Trust me princess."

I felt him kiss my forehead and began to walk.

I opened my eyes slowly and yawned a little. I looked around a little confused. I wasn't back at the mansion. The walls of the room were neatly painted white and had white tiles. The room had a table stacked with books and a full bookshelf. There were three doors besides the main door. One lead to the bathroom, the other for the closet and the third was for the balcony.

Where am I?

I felt a hand touch my forehead slightly and I jumped a little and turned my head. Damanico was sitting next to me on the edge of the bed as he gently ran his hand over my forehead.

"Has the headache pass?' he asked softly

"Yes." I nodded and looked around the room "Where am I?"

"At my house in Alfarami Harbor and you're currently in my room on my bed." he answered

"You slept with me?" I asked turning on my side to face him

"Would you freak out if I told you I did?" he ran his finger through his hair and looked at the floor

I smiled at his shyness.

"Have you forgotten that we've slept together?' I asked with a smile

He looked at me and smiled. He leaned in close until our lipstouch and I felt those familiar butterflies return. I reached up and raked my fingers through his curly strands of thick black locks while twisting a strand around my finger.

"I missed you so much Royalty." he mumbled against my lips

"I missed you too." I found myself saying.

He leaned down more until we were kissing. I instantly felt all the pain from Xavier leave and I responded to his kiss. His lips were still smooth and soft and he kissed me slowly. It felt good and I felt so alive again. His tongue stroked my lips asking for permission and I slowly parted my lips to let him in. He was gentle as he explored every inch of my mouth. I started to feel a little heat between my legs and I moaned a little into his mouth. He pulled away a little letting our lips linger a bit while I put a finger on my lips.

"You have no idea how much I wanted to kiss you." he whispered softly

"Aren't you my bodyguard?" I asked still in shock

"Yes I am." he answered "But ever since we were together I wanted you. Don't let work come between us. I know you still have feelings for Xavier but it's time you two took a split for a while. He has no idea you're here but he won't know for a while."

"What about my job?' I asked

"You can still go." he pulled away and stood up "You'll live like a normal teenager for once."

"Who do you work for really?" I asked sitting up "Cardinal or Xavier?"

"Jennifer works for Cardinal." Damanico turned to looked at me "I'm loyal to Xavier."

"Wait, what?" I asked confused "You kidnapped me remember?"

"That was just a throw off." he explained "I still work for Xavier although he thinks I betrayed him. Cardinal is my uncle making Lucario, Alessandro and I cousins. Lucario and I only pretended to work for Cardinal in order to get closer to you. As I told you my father agreed to protect yours and had links with Xavier's parents. Cardinal got jealous because Xavier's father hated his trickery and because of spite Cardinal killed my parents, yours, Xavier's, Lucario's, Geovanni's, Jianan's and Alessandro's father."

"He killed all of them?" I gasped
