"I see you have woken up my lady"a known voice calls me.

"Brad?"i ask confused by what just happened

"Correct Guess"he says and smiles hatefully.

"What am I doing here?"i look up and realise that im in a black room.

''I don't know, you know?''

"Brad, help me out, I've been kidnapped"

"I know, I kidnapped you"his smile fades out

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

"let me the fuck out" i scream but he isn't bothered.

"No way princess " he shakes negatively his head

"But why are you doing this?" I say and try to get him to tell me

"I know the reason and of course you do too"

But I don't know anything

''I do not know ''

"Well, you thought I was that innocent kid with the best grades? The one who goes against Apollo? The one who tours the college."

"And who are you?"

"Ask your boy, he knows"he says and looks away.

"But I'm asking you"

"Difficult,girl give up"

"Fuck you" I say and spit on him

"To learn, you have to be a good girl" he says and laughs.

"What's wrong with you?" I scream but he never replied.
I shout at him, cursing him,trying to escape.

"You have to find a way to get out off here cause im not gonna unlock the locker of your handcuffs." He says calmly and leaves

............

silence

silence

silence

All black
...........

I have been here for at least 2 weeks.

Nobody looked for me

What should Apollo do? He is a simple man.Only a businessman in Spain.He isn't God to make miracles.This is your end Sofia.This is how you die Sofia.Someone is hitting me everyday.He isn't Brad,he just looks sadly but i cant figure why.He was the one that kidnapped me.

..........

someone unlocks the door.

Brad

"well well well look" i say sarcastically

"What happened little one? You're afraid? Where's your leader? Where's you boyfriend?"he says and spit down the floor.

Which leader? What does he say?

''What bullshit are you talking about?''i say to him.

''Oh, you don't know?''

What should I know?

"I'm talking about Apollo Martinez"

"What did he do? Why do you call him a leader?"

"Because he is"

I'm going crazy. I'm going to lose my mind.

''Leader of what?''

"Princess, I want you to prepare for what I'm going to tell you"

I'm preparing.

"Apollo Martinez is the leader of the mafia"

WHAT

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

DOES IT MEAN I LOVE SOMEONE WHO KILLS?

DOES IT MEAN I FOUND A BOY OUT OF A BOOK?

"Sick lies" i tell him.Im not believing anything.

"Lies?"he says and cross his hands.

"Brad you understand what do you say?"

"When I say Mafia, I don't mean the Spanish Mafia"

''And what do you mean?''

"I mean the mafia of the whole world"

''So? He doesn't run a business?''

"If you call it a business, then yes"

''Let me finish..''

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

"You are the mafia princess"

''WHAT AM I?''

"don't make me repeat myself"he rolled his eyes and looked at me again.

''WHAT AM I?"'

"at least of Spain, the most important"

I can not believe it

I've been lied to all my life

MY PARENTS?

that's why no one approached me?

I do not think so

There's no way they know, right?

People couldn't know

I'm just the pathetic girl of the town

"That's why everyone freaked out when they heard the name of Apollo"

''Yes..'' he says and lowers his head.He looks again sadly but he thinks that i can't see him.

"Brad? Answer me a question. How come I'm a mafia princess?"

"Your father is the biggest mafia man in Spain"

What is he?

Too much information

Lots of questions answered

and other new unanswered questions.

''I leave you to think'' he says and laughs.

TO THINK WHAT?

"Brad?"

''Yes''

"Before you go, I want to ask you one last thing."

''tell me''

''what does segreto mean?''

HE'S FREEZING

he seems lost in thought

he looks lost

he turns and looks me in the eye

"How do you know about the tattoos?"

"I don't,I've just seen it on Apollo's neck"

"He still has it" he says and smiles.

Whatever

Apollo lied to me all the time

Apollo hid everything from me

I bet the tattoo has something to do with it

What do you think it means?

Brad seems to be having a great time with him.

Well, he knows him...

From where?

Apollo was very distant from Brad from the first moment.

He seemed to know him but I denied it

I never trusted myself

I was just waiting to see what would happen

"Hey Sofia, I can bring you someone who can solve this question for you," he says and a tear falls. Brad? Is he crying? He leaves quickly.

Apollo why?

something inside me was telling me that this was the last time I would see him.

Apollo I love you.But you lied?You lied to me?The person that opened up to you.

I would never do that to you.

Many people have hurt me, I can't help it. I can't stand it. I fall asleep crying. A slap lands on my cheek and leaves me unconscious.

"I will find you wherever you are" shouts my childhood friend Hermes. He laughs. He finds me. I am 10 years old. Hermes left with his father in Russia. Unlike Jaxon, he didn't give his oldest son at all. I never understood him as a character. He was always very distant from everyone.. Except for me, he always looked after me and looked at me. my sister and the boys hung out a lot, especially with Hermes.Hermes was my best friend. He loved me like his sister .

One day we ran I fell and hit my head on a stone.

"Watch out," Jaxon called.

Since then I don't remember any other memories with these children.

"Please stay" I shouted to him

He went next to his father without saying goodbye and left

..........................

I wake up and see Brad with a man whose face is not visible.

"Brad?"

"Is that what she calls you?" the voice is familiar and I'm curious ,who is he?.

"You wanted to know about the tattoo, this is the most suitable person". The man next to him takes off the mask.

''surprise''
