Episode 10

ADALBERTO FERRAZ

After what happened at the engagement party, I knew that Fiorella was in danger here in Australia. Even though Argo Romanov is very powerful, his enemies are a downside. I talked to a lot of people and came to realize that he is one of the most ruthless men leading a mafia. And managing an organization that traffics weapons is truly dangerous. Jared Romanov seems to be a kid who couldn't care less about his father's business. Besides not talking to me, his own father-in-law.

Loretha Romanov is different, she seems to care a lot about the family, and I saw that when she went after my daughter at the party. But I made the decision, I'll pay whatever it takes to take Fiorella back with me. Leaving her here and having my heart in my mouth, afraid that something might happen to her, kept me awake all night.

I thought she would be ecstatic with the news, but she hesitated for a moment. My daughter had doubts about whether she wanted to go back to Germany. Yesterday she was determined, today she's uncertain.

"Where were you?" I asked when I saw Jonah approaching the room.

"I was around, dad. Where's Fiorella?"

"Inside with Argo."

"With Argo?"

"I don't like this either, what does a girl have to talk to a man like him alone for?"

"Calm down, dad. Fiorella is not that kind of girl."

"I know, Jonah, that's what calms me down."

"DAD?" we entered the room the same second she yelled.

"Have you made up your mind, daughter?" Argo, who was standing, returned to his chair.

"I have, daddy."

"So, sis. Let's go back?"

"I'm going to marry Jared Romanov."

"Are you sure, Fiorella?" Jonah held his sister's face. "Are you okay? Did you hit your head?"

I admit, I don't know what got into Fiorella for her to want to stay, after insisting so much not to get married. I'm concerned, but also happy. I would lose a lot of money if she gave up and that would be bad for Don, my boss in Germany.

I took a new phone out of my pocket and handed it to her.

"Are you sure?" I asked, giving her a kiss on the head.

"I am, dad. I'm going to miss you both."

"I will too, my love, I love you very much. I'll call you every night, keep the phone with you."

I looked at Argo Romanov.

"Take good care of my daughter." we shook hands.

"She will be taken care of, Adalberto Ferraz. They're waiting for you downstairs."

"Thank you for the hospitality, Argo."

"See you in a month for the wedding?"

"See you in a month."

FIORELLA FERRAZ

Since the day my father left, I feel completely alone here. A house full of employees and security guards at the gate, keeping an eye on who enters and leaves. I feel like Rapunzel locked in this room. I feel like talking to someone my age other than Jared. I wanted to go to college, something to forget this criminal world I live in.

I'm locked in this room watching movies, "watching movies", it has become routine. I started watching exciting series, something I would never have thought of watching a week ago. And watching those sex scenes affects me a lot, even my mind, because I can't forget that angry pitbull, Argo Romanov. In fact, it was because of him that I decided to stay, out of fear of marrying Victor too. But when he said those words, "You want to question everything I say, don't respect my orders. You're ill-mannered and I don't want to raise a second rebellious daughter". I was aroused by it. I wasn't afraid of that angry face, I wanted him to touch me. It was all new to me and I couldn't give up what I felt and risk marrying an old grumpy man in Germany.

I don't feel my body reacting to Jared the way it does just by thinking about his father. If only I could go out, meet other guys. I need to know if I feel this way only for Argo or if I feel it for another man too. I want to get to know myself, know my body, and just the thought of Jared being the first person to possess me makes me furious. I don't want him to be the first to touch me.

Thinking about it, I pick up my phone and start searching about kissing, "how to learn to kiss". The searches lead me to a girl saying that the best way to learn to kiss is on the back of the hand. I bring my hand close to my mouth, but I feel embarrassed just thinking about doing it. What the hell! I'm 18 years old and I don't even know how to kiss. I start to feel ashamed of myself.

Jared is handsome, and even though I don't want to lose my virginity with him, the BV wouldn't be a problem. Maybe if I kissed my fiancé, I would feel some sort of feeling for him.

I have this idea in my head, kissing Jared will be nice, and I want to do it as soon as possible. Why didn't I think of this before? It's just a kiss, it'll be quick.

I turn off the TV in my room and go take a nice shower, brush my teeth well, and put on a cute outfit, a bit short so he can't resist me. If he refuses my kiss, I'll die of embarrassment. It's still 6:30 in the evening, he should already be home, I don't know where he goes daily, but spending three days locked in this house, I've been able to observe everyone's schedules. Mrs. Loretha leaves every day after lunch and comes back at dinner time, Jared leaves in the morning and comes back at 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon. As for Argo, I haven't seen him in two days, but before that, I heard his voice in the hallway talking to a security guard late at night.

I leave the room with the feeling of escaping a cage, I see no one except a maid on the lower floor of the house.

"Excuse me, have you seen Jared around?"

"Are you his fiancée?"

"Yes, it's me." The woman seems very kind.

"I hardly see you around, do you stay in your room all day?"

"There's nothing to do in this house." I complain.

"There's a pool outside, there's a cinema on the third floor."

"No, thank you. There are several security guards at the pool and I watch movies in my room."

"I see. My name is Angela, if you need anything, I'm here all day. And about Jared, I think he was in his room, I heard his voice there."

"You're very kind, Angela."

ARGO ROMANOV

I spent the whole day worried about the attack we suffered on the engagement day. The police are on our tail because of the car we shot, we shouldn't have done that. They have our trace through the bullet casings left on the asphalt.

Damn it! I had my head full because of that barbie talking in my ear and I screwed up. The blame for all of this is on her, only on her. The only way to get the investigation off our backs is by hacking their system, and I remembered that Jared is good at that. There are more capable men, of course! But I can't trust them.

I came home earlier with one purpose, to convince Jared to work for me. It's time for him to do something for the organization. I grab him by the arm and push him into his room.

"I need you to do something, kid."

"First, stop calling me kid."

"You are a kid, what do you do all day on the street?"

"You don't want to know." He says in an ironic tone.

I take a deep breath and try to keep control, if I shout at this boy, he won't help me.

"I need you to hack the South Police system."

"Hack?"

"Yes, Jared, can you do that? I can't trust anyone else."

"Just because of that, dad? Just because you don't trust anyone else."

"At least I trust you, Jared. And I admit that you're good at these things."

"Alright, I'll try. I can create a malicious link, but I need someone on the inside to open it."

"What do you mean?"

"I can put a virus on a website, but I need someone inside to open that site, you understand?"

"That's easy for me."

"I also want good money for this."

"Damn it, kid. Why do you need money? To spend in brothels? I know you go almost every night."

"Did you put your guards on me?"

"Get ready because when you get married, that will end."

He opens his mouth to protest, but my phone rings. I see that it's an important and confidential call, I leave his room and enter the next empty room to answer.

"Speak!"

"What's up?"

"Just tell me, damn it! I'm at home, and I don't talk about this in my house."

"It's about the shipment there."

"What day will it be?"

"Tomorrow, noon."

"Are you crazy?"

"That's the time my boss said, if he gets suspicious, I'm screwed, and I'll turn you in."

"Are you threatening me, you piece of shit?"

"No, sir. Just..."

"Wait!" I took the phone away from my ear when I heard footsteps in the hallway. I hid behind the door to see who it was.

"Jared, are you there?"

It was Barbie. How long had it been since I heard that soft voice? Since the day her father left. I avoided this girl for 3 days. It's hard to decipher a woman's mind, especially an 18-year-old. I thought she would leave, and I was already relieved about that. And when she decided to stay, I decided to avoid her.

Wait! What was she doing in Jared's room? I approached the door to listen to her and hung up the call.

"Can you open it?"

She wants to enter his room? It's not possible! I'm starting to get angry at this girl. Is she really a virgin? What was she doing in a man's room?

FIORELLA FERRAZ

When Jared opened the door, I walked in right away. I wanted to do it before I backed out and regretted it.

"Hi, beautiful. What brings my fiancée to my room?"

"Well..." I started sweating, even so, I approached him. "Jared, I want to do something."

"Do something? Oh my God! Don't joke about this, I'm already imagining things."

This boy doesn't kiss me, damn it! I'm so close, do I have bad breath? A bunch of shit started going through my head. Why doesn't he take action?

"Jared, I..."

"Do you want something?"

"I want to kiss you." I said, he seemed startled.

"Kiss? Hold on, beautiful." he moved away from me. "Are you serious?"

"You said you find me beautiful."

"You're not just beautiful, you're wonderful, gorgeous as hell."

"So?" I asked disappointed.

"It's just that... I want to kiss you... but my father."

"Your father?" I interrupted. "He doesn't need to know, Jared, it's just a kiss."

"Are you still a virgin? I mean, have you never kissed?"

"Okay, Jared. I get it, I'll go to my room."

I turned around, he grabbed my arm, pressed his body against mine, and stroked my hair.

"My father forbade me to kiss you, it's not that I don't want to, I really do, I couldn't wait, to tell you the truth." Argo forbade his son from kissing his own fiancée. Knowing this made me suspicious. "But he doesn't need to know, right?"

I nodded in agreement. I'm so nervous. He licks his lips, which is a bit sexy, holds my neck with both hands, and brings his mouth closer to mine.
