Kara gasped in surprise, her eyes opening wide as a hand covered her mouth and her body was pressed hard against the mattress.

"Shh, don't scream my love or we'll get caught!" she blinked in confusion and her hands slid into the darkness, touching the familiar shapes of his body.

She nodded and the hand was replaced by his lips, passionately taking over every corner of her mouth, his tongue wrestling with hers. Their bodies intertwined, their moans whispering, describing how much they missed each other.

Hoseok broke the kiss and Kara reached over turning on the night light."It's really you!" her hands cupped his face and he kissed her again. "You didn't think I'd leave you in the hands of that scoundrel and that bastard, did you?" Hoseok asked and she shook her head smiling.

"I bring you something my love." she raised an eyebrow and he reached to his sides, showing her the leather set. Her eyes flashed with pleasure and cold hatred.

"Will you last another night?" he asked softly, studying her face. Hoseok bit his lip at the dark circles under her eyes, her skin had lost its glow and Kara looked pale and tired even though he had found her sleeping.

"Honey, what have they done to you?" his thumb gently caressed her cheek and she smiled. "I'm fine, I think the climate can't stand me." Kara replied, snuggling into his chest. "Can you stay for a while?" she whispered and he settled next to her, wrapping his arms around her protectively.

"Soon it will all be over and we'll be home." he kissed her neck and she nodded, sighing tiredly.

No more words were needed. They knew each other too well, she knew what he wanted from her after he had brought her the knives instead of asking her to go with him.

“At least they feed you, you've lost weight?” Hoseok gently caressed her flat stomach and she shook her head. "They seem to be putting something in my food, so I avoid eating." he propped himself up on his elbow and looked down on her.

"I'm sorry my love, I'm sorry I took so long…" she cut him off, kissing him hard. "It's okay, even I didn't know where I was for the first few days." Hoseok sighed and shook his head. "I'll kill them all, I promise!" she laughed softly.

"I hope you will leave some for me too?" Kara joked and Hoseok grinned. "Who are you here?" Kara asked seriously now and Hoseok lay down next to her again, hugging her.

"Everyone except Jungkook. He's still in the hospital. But he's awake and annoying as always." Kara nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. "And how did you get in here?" suddenly she looked around startled, realizing where they really were.

"Just a few dogs, no big deal." Hoseok grinned. "I miss you my love." she pressed into him, and he buried his face in her chest, inhaling his favorite scent, heard in the rhythm of her heart.

"And you to me, mi amore" she buried her fingers in his hair, ruffling the soft locks. "Kara, are you really okay?" Hoseok lowered his eyebrows, listening to the uneven beating of her heart.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little down and tired. But tomorrow it'll all be over." he nodded, but continued to listen anxiously to her strange heartbeat, sensing that something was wrong with her.

After a few minutes he reached up and brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead. "I have to go honey, but I'll see you again tomorrow and this time, you'll be leaving with me." she pouted and he kissed her gently and long.

"I love you Jung Kara!" he whispered, resting his forehead against hers. "I love you more Jung Hoseok!" she smiled slightly and he kissed her again, this time passionately and possessively, leaving her breathless.

"I see you're ready." Kara turned to the door and raised an eyebrow coldly. "Let's wrap it up, I'm sick of your face!" she hissed and Vittorio rolled his eyes. "Is that how your mother taught you to speak to your father?" he snapped sarcastically and Kara gave him a sharp look.

"You have no right to mention her. You are not worthy to even think about her!" she walked past him, smoothing out her long black dress, feeling contentedly at the set of knives on her hip.

Vittorio followed her, glaring at her back. The little one was thought of as something great, but after tonight, she would already be Massimo's problem, and he wasn't so soft and kind.

Kara made a disgusted face when she saw Massimo waiting for them at the bottom of the stairs. Maybe if she didn't hate him so much, she'd even find him attractive. But right now her stomach was turning just at the sight of him.

"This is your last night on this earth, my dear, because when my husband touches you, I will enjoy the life that flows from your veins!" she thought, walking past him and ignoring the hand he offered her.

"Cold-blooded bitch, I like it." Massimo snorted and turned to Vittorio, who was also looking after her. "Same as her mother, but this one, she's meaner." he nodded and Massimo grinned with a raised eyebrow.

"Let's go, I can't wait to introduce her as my fiancee and then have fun with her!" Massimo followed Cara and Vittorio shook his head. Little did the young man know that the woman he was drooling over could be the end of him.

Vittorio himself had no idea just how right he was as the three of them sat in the car on their way to the celebration celebrating his daughter's return and the announcement of his heir.

Massimo tried several times to take Cara's hand, but she coldly pushed him away. "Do that again and I'll cut your throat right now, mia bella!" Massimo hissed in her ear and she smiled slightly but let him squeeze her fingers.

The car stopped in front of the huge doors of what looked like a restaurant, or rather a palace, and the driver hurried to open the door, letting Vittorio pass and then Massimo, who bent down and gave Kara a hand.

She lifted her skirts slightly, but dutifully took Massimo's hand and let him help her, looking around for Hoseok and his men. "Smile!" Massimo ordered quietly but sharply as dozens of photographers began snapping picture after picture.
