Melissa's POV:

"Not this time." He winks before his lips collide with mine and so I do the one thing I'm good at. I slap him across his cheek.

He grabs my arm harshly and drags me along with him. I struggle to break free but he doesn't let go of my arm. He opens a door and shoves me inside and locks the door from inside. I look up and see that we are in the bathroom. I get up and try to run out the door when he is checking every stall to find another life but to my dismay there's none and I fail to run.

"What the hell?!" I scream in frustration as my head makes a strong collision with the wall behind coz he grasps my hand and throws me at the nearest wall, trapping me between the same and him.

"You deserve at least this much for the print you painted on my cheek." He says cockily at my dejected look.

"This time no one saves you from me." He says bending down to my level. His alcoholic breath fans my face, making me want to puke right there.

"Why are you back?" I ask the most important question as my dad had advised me.

If you are trapped in a situation where you cannot run from then try to find out the reason why you are trapped and if you are trapped by someone then ask him/her questions to keep him/her busy, to keep his/her mind diverted from his/her purpose.

"What do you think?" He smirks and I give him a baleful glance while staying silent.

"For you, of course." He says enthusiastically as he takes a strand of my hair and twirls it between his fingers.

"Listen you psycho, I was trapped there so I could not do anything. If you dare to do anything again then I will kill you with my bare hands. Stay the fuck away from me."
I scream on top of my lungs while giving him the best murderous look possible.

"Oh no! I thought we were going to have fun together, you, me and you know…Rose"

His words make me choke at my breath. Anger boils inside of me as he dares to bring my sister's name into this sick mess.

"Don't you dare go anywhere near her or my family!" I warn him with a death glare. I will never let him harm anyone anymore. He's done enough damage to me already and I can't let anyone suffer the same hell as me.

"That depends solely on you, sweetheart." He says amusingly while nibbling on my earlobe. My hands right away get placed on his chest in an attempt to create some distance.

"I'm warning you, Luca. Stay the hell away from my family."

"Okay, I will stay away from them but on one condition." He tries to look for my reaction but I give him a blank expression with a raised eyebrow.

"You will do as I say, and you will not tell about our little meetings to anyone, neither Ella nor Blake." He informs me and I look at him baffled. His words clearly indicate that he has planned on torturing me whenever he feels like it.

"And what makes you think that I'll ever listen to you?" I retort and he smirks and his face inches closer to mine.

"Listen, sweetheart, you don't get to make choices. If you want your loved ones to get hurt then do as you want and…" He pauses for a second and trails his one hand to the back of my neck and his one hand holds me by my waist, making me arch my back and pulling me into him.

"You very well know that I'm more powerful than Blake, so don't bother taking his help. And if you still decide otherwise, then I won't just hurt your family but will make sure to snatch them away from your life." He continues before pecking me on the lips.

"We will meet again, sweetheart. And don't break my heart, I don't want to hurt that little sister of yours." He says winking at me, clearly amused at my pissed look. Before I can say anything, he gets out of the bathroom.

Andrew's POV:

My eyes stay glued to Luca's every move though I'm not at all interested in watching him flirt with several girls. A trio of girls encircles him while swaying their bodies to the beat. Luca gestures at me to join him but I ignore and look the other way for a second and my eyes land on the same person who happens to be on my mind since she left. Ella. Her long black heels strike the floor as she is scooting away from the crowd while being on the phone.

I glance over Luca who is busy making out with a red-head girl, so I decide to follow Ella. After passing through a bunch of people I'm out of the main entrance and within a minute I spot her standing beside a black Ferrari which happens to be the same vehicle in which we drove here.

Though I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Ella but all that time still hits differently. I didn't realize that I had missed her until today.

She in front of me standing just a few steps away makes me feel different, a feeling that I cannot put into words. Just a glimpse of her is making me want to look at her closely. Maybe I did miss her, and now that she is here, I'm gonna use this chance. Not that Blake and I were planning on meeting the girls anytime here in France but I think it's fate that is determined on bringing us together.

"Ella," I walk behind her and call her name and she instantly turns around. Her phone slips through her hand and falls on the hard concrete. Her eyes are the size of saucers and I can see fear written all over her face. Her neck muscle moves, as she attempts to gulp down the lump which has been formed in her throat. Her lips are pressed in a thin line while her eyes are flooded with questions.

"We are not here for you," I explain but it doesn't help a bit as a frown makes her way on her forehead.

"W-we?" She stutters in utter fear and confusion.

"Um, you know me, Blake and —"

"Blake? Is he back for her?" She asks in disbelief and all the colors from her face start to drain. I can see beads of sweat on her forehead, she looks petrified.

"No, not for any of you. We are here on business." I explain once again and she presses her lip in one line again.

"Oh my! What if Mel sees Blake?" She panics and is about to rush inside the club so I grab her hand to stop her.

"Let me go. I can't let her see him." She requests but I don't let go of her hand.

"Blake is not here." As soon as I say that, it clicks to me that the real devil is still inside. Luca. If he sees her and anything happens to Mel then Blake will lose his temper for the worse.

Ella looks at me in anticipation as a rush of panic paints my stern-cold face. As I'm about to sprint inside with her without giving her the reason for panic, my phone rings and I look at the screen that reads, Blake.

Ella's eyes grow bigger once again as her eyes land on the screen. I gesture to her to keep her mouth shut as I pick up the call.

"Where are you?" He asks anxiously but with an anger-filled voice.

"What happened? Everything alright?" I ask, straightaway ignoring his question.

"Melissa is in danger. Get to the Olies Club ASAP. I'm on my way."

"O-okay." I manage to say, picturing the scene which is about to happen. How did he know that Melissa is in this club?

Taking Ella's hand, I sprint inside the club and try to spot Melissa but she is nowhere to be found. Ella pulls out her hand from my grip with force, making me stay still at one place.

"What the hell is going on?" She asks, yelling at me.

"Melissa is in danger. I cannot explain everything. Find her first."

Her mouth hangs low as her eyes instantly start looking for her best friend and I look for my cousin who I'm damn sure is the reason for danger.

"There she is!" Ella screams while pointing her finger towards the far right corner. Melissa is sitting on the red couch safely and securely, busy with her phone.

"You stay here. I don't want her to see any one of you. I'll confirm she is safe and will inform you within minutes. Stay away from her sight, please." Ella orders politely and so I've no choice but to accept it. I watch her as she runs over to her best friend and first engulfs her into a hug and then they both talk for a few minutes before she comes back in my direction.

"She is safe but not fine. She bumped into some guy and fell down. Her leg twisted in the process so the guy helped her sit on the couch as she waited for me." Ella tells everything precisely and gives me a questioning look as I stand dumbfoundedly.

"Okay, so do you want me to carry her or drop you both at your house?" I ask genuinely but she laughs it off taunting, "Why would we tell you anything about our address?"

"You know we can still find it out within minutes without your knowledge," I say getting amused as she looks down at her feet at my comeback.

"You won't try to find it, will you?" She asks in disbelief while maintaining eye contact. Her eyes hold anticipation and a slight glint of fear. She looks cute and so teasing her even more I just shrug my shoulders and continue the silent treatment.

"Will you?" She asks again in a bare whisper and I understand her by reading her lip movement since the music makes her whisper inaudible.

"No," I answer and a smile makes its way on her plump small lips. She turns around and without a goodbye goes away and disappears behind the crowd.

"Where the hell were you?"

I turn around at the voice and look at the pissed and drunk Luca. His shirt is soaked with a drink and he reeks of alcohol. I think of asking him about Melissa but then decide against it due to two reasons. Firstly, what if he didn't know that she's right here and because of me he gets to know and then harm her? And secondly, Melissa has no reason to lie to her best friend. If she had an encounter with Luca, she would not hide it.

"Let's go back," I tell him and drag him out of the club, not wanting to let his eyes land on either of the girls.

As soon as I put Luca in the passenger seat and close the door, a black Porsche makes a screeching halt in front of the entrance. I watch as a furious Blake steps out of the car and is about to march inside the club. I rush towards him and stop him from going inside so he gives me a scary look. I tell him the same story that Ella told me earlier but Blake doesn't seem to buy the story and insists on confirming her safety. As we are about to step in, the door opens revealing the very two girls that were forced to live with us a few months back, Mel and Ella.

************************************

A/N:

Will Mel tell Blake or anyone else about her encounter with Luca?
