Naomie POV:

I woke up with a start, I was having a nightmare about Blade finding me and kidnapping me. I have a major headache and my heart feels like it's ready to beat out of my chest at any moment. I take deep breaths and keep my eyes closed as I try and calm down. I haven't had one of these nightmares in a few years so its strange that I did now.

Laying back down I reach over to feel Chuck but the other side of the bed is cold, in confusion I open my eyes and to my shock I am not in Charlie's room. Where am I? Confused I sit up and its a fancy room with beautiful décor. I am completely confused until the all to familiar form of Vincent walks into the room, I gasp in surprise as I see Blade walk in behind him.

I grab the blankets and pull them higher up to cover my body as my heart starts beating wildly as I try not to panic. It wasn't a nightmare, I was actually found and kidnapped, as it all came back to me the two intimidating figures stood in front of me with smirks on their faces as I panic.

"Well that really isn't the kind of greeting I was interested in after the wonderful date we had last night, or was I the only one enjoying myself?" Vincent snarled out with venom laced in every word, I flinched.

"I agree princess, you did really good hiding from me, until you went on a date with my cousin and he did some research on you and came across me looking for you." he smirked as he crossed his arms. I noticed he has buffed up over the years, I was worried what was going to happen to me. I looked down in my lap, feeling ashamed of what I did. I mean, it really wasn't my idea to spy on Vincent, I am not that kind of person and I hate what I did but you do what you have to just to survive in this world.

"You have the nerve to look ashamed when I found you that you are working for Arthur Catelli as one of his spys?" Vincent grit out angrily, again I didn't say anything but tears started to sting my eyes. I don't even know what to say, I started this journey off being kidnapped to be sold for sex trafficking for fuck sakes.

It is like that is the straw that broke the dam, the tears flooded my eyes and ran down my cheeks relentlessly. A loud sob wracked my body and I wrapped my arms around my body trying to hold it together a little longer, but it was hard. The reality of the whole situation has finally broke me and I wasn't sure if I could be fixed.

"Crying won't get you out of this sweetheart." he sneered at me, but there wasn't as much anger behind his words, but I couldn't control it I just cried. I heard the door closed and just laid down in the large bed and muffled my cries and sobs in the pillow. I felt the bed dip before I felt a hand start rubbing my back. I can't even bring it in me to see who stayed, probably Blade because I was supposed to be his.

"I want you to know that I gave up on you Naomie. It has been seven years and I realized what I did was wrong. I actually found someone who loves me for me and I love her to. We have a little girl together and let me tell you, that is what made me realize what I did to you was so wrong." Blade spoke softly as his hand rubbed circles on my back. When I wasn't sobbing and could talk I looked up at him, tears still pouring down my cheeks.

"You really love them? Then why kidnap me?" I question feeling a little more confused. He smiled sadly at me before hesitating to speak.

"Family, my cousin had a bounty out on you because of you trading information to Arthur." the realization hit me, it wasn't my hiding from Blade, it was my association with Arthur Catelli and Charlie. I sobbed again this time feeling stupid, I felt Blade pull me into a hug and I berried my face into his neck and cried. The door opened and a very pretty girl walked in carrying a baby in her arms.

"Is this the girl?" She spoke softly, I felt Blade humm as he nodded his head. The woman came closer and I pulled away from Blade, he stood and took the bundle of blankets wrapped aroundhis daughter before standing up. The girl sat down and pulled me into a hug and just held me.

Eventually my tears dried up and she let me go, but still sat beside me holding my hand. Blade now sat at the end of the bed holding his daughter.

"My name is Anna and the little bundle of pink is Sophie, its nice to finally meet you Naomie." She smiles and I am baffled, I really don't know what to say so I don't say and settle for a small nod of my head to let her know I heard her.

"I promise princess, I will do what I can to help you while your here but in the end Vincent is the one with final say. Can you tell me why you did it?" he asked softly, I was leery because I wasn't sure I could trust him or her. I mean it could be some kind of rouse to get me to betray Arthur. Or maybe it was genuine and he actually cared about someone besides himself. Deciding I could tell him a little bit I did.

"It all started when I was kidnapped by Arthur's men because I fit the description he wanted for his sex trafficking." I take a deep breath and just stare at my hands, Anna is still holding my hand and she gives it a squeeze so I continue, "My childhood lover, Chuck, was apart of the group so he made a deal with Catelli to be able to keep me. I didn't have a choice." I whispered the last part feeling unsure and scared. The tears started falling again, I hated feeling helpless but that is all I am in this world of betrayal and power, weak and powerless.

I felt pitiful right now, all I wanted was to be happy for once. I mean I didn't have a mom and dad at all, I didn't have happy childhood memories except with Chuck, I didn't even have a good adult life. I only just got a taste of true happiness before being kidnapped yet again. My filter must have broke because I voiced my opinion, I missed the sound of the door opening.

"I just want to be happy!!" I shouted out as a sob wracked my body and more of those stupid tears poured from my eyes, my eyes scrunched as tight as I could. "Is that such a crime?" I sobbed again as the tears were relentless, by now I had lost my bravado and I ended my rant with a whisper, "Don't I deserve some kind of happiness?" I felt Anna wrap her arms around me as a strange voice came from behind her.

"I need to know the truth from you cagna (bitch), what did you tell Arthur Catelli? Be very careful with your answer, because if you lie to me you will never get the chance to be happy." the angry voice spoke with a very heavy Italian accent. My eyes shoot up to meet the dark almost black pools of anger of an older man who looks exactly like Vincent, standing to his left is a man who looks identical to Vincent only with hard and cold eyes. Then to the other side was Vincent himself who had an emotional mask over his features.

"Why are you even listening to what she has to say father, just kill the cagna (bitch) and finish off Arthur." the man to his left snarled out, that means that is one of Vincent's siblings.

"Silence Antonio, I am the Don so you listen to me." He gave me his hand in a shake gesture before continuing to speak, "My name is Viktor Ricco and this little cazzo (dick) is my eldest son, and next in line, Antonio." I hesitantly reached out and shook his hand, I was scared he would do something. I didn't know what to say, or if I should say anything so I opted to be polite and at least tell him my name so maybe he would  stop speaking another language to insult me.

"Naomie." right away Viktor took control of the situation, he made Blade and Anna leave the room first then left orders with Vincent to bring me to the office to 'talk' about this situation. Viktor and Vincent left and I felt very awkward.

"Go clean up, here are some clean clothes to change out of the swim suit and don't try anything stupid." he threw the clothes on the bed before crossing his arms, I took in his look, his eyes were stormy and clouded with emotions but it was such a mess I couldn't tell how he was feeling. So in stead of causing issues I whispered out my compliance and took the clothes to the attached bathroom.

First I relieved myself, washed my hands and quickly washed my face, fixed my hair as the bun was falling out and pulled on the clothes I was given. As the shirt went over my head I could smell the familiar cologne that Vincent had worn last night. I liked the smell of it, so I calmed down a little bit knowing I was wearing his clothes. I open the door and come face to face with Vincent, his eyes widen as they scan down my body, taking in the clothes of his on my body.

After shamelessly checking me out he took hold of my hand and pulled me along with him out the room and down a hallway. He didn't let go of my hand but he did thread his fingers through mine as we walked. He slowed down right away so I could catch up to him. Walking side by side no one says a word, I blush as I don't mind holding his hand. Then it makes me think of how Chuck held my hand earlier that day, or was it yesterday now? I had no clue even what day it was.

Since I was lost in my thoughts I didn't realize we had made it to the office until I ran into the door, efficiently knockings and announcing our presence. Vincent caught me before I could fall down on the ground after bouncing off the door, my hand holds my sore nose as my eyes tear up from the pain.

"Careful." I can hear the smile in his voice as the door is opened and Antonio glares at both of us, what is his problem. I feel Vincent stiffen up and that emotionless mask is back in place as we walk into his father's office to discuss the one subject I hate talking about the most, ME!
