The results for all the finger prints of my employees have just been dropped off to me by Antonio, I stare at them blankly anger already fuming out of me even though I have no idea if the right one is in here.

But if it is, trust me when I say they will be getting worse then killed.

Before I sift through the results, I have other business to attend to, so I grab then, and lock them in a drawer under my desk.

I push back my chair getting up from it and adjusting my black suit, I'm wearing all black today, perfect colour when attending business.

I feel like the colour radiates power and authority, makes people fear me even more, as they should though.

Im not a nice man.

I take heavy steps as I exit my office, locking the door behind me.

Arabella's POV

Maria had just left my room, she asked me what he had said, I told her. She was happy that I could at least go, even though I couldn't today.

Ever since he said that I will 'feel' the punishment when I go to the mall, my mind has been running as I think of a thousand possibilities to what that could mean.

I'm honestly scared for him to come to bed tonight.

I walk around the room distressed, my eyes get caught on the open wine bottle sitting at his bar.

Maria must've left it like that.

I wonder over, grabbing the bottle, I hesitate. Should I?

I mean he doesn't know how much I drank and I'm sure he wouldn't notice that the taste is stronger if he goes to kiss me again. Let's just hope he doesn't kiss me again.

I take a sip straight from the bottle, I can't be bothered to pour a glass, I feel sense of satisfaction as the wine slides down my throat.

You really don't learn your lesson do you Ara? I tell myself but everyday as it goes past I start to care less about 'lessons." And 'punishments'

Let's just hope he doesn't freak when he sees the bottle is half empty.

He'll run out of ideas eventually, and then maybe he'll finally set me free.

That would be nice wouldn't it?

I highly doubt that would ever happen though.

I know I wouldn't want that though, recently I have became quite attached to Leonardo.

Ugh!

After having some wine, I leave the bottle where I found it, and walked over to my books.

I kneel in front of my book shelf as I sift through all the options.

I take out a book that looks to be the darkest romance book I have, Haunting Adeline.

It's a dark stalker romance book, and ever since I started it I haven't been able to put it down unless I didn't have a choice or Leo was in the room.

I don't need him knowing what I read..

I sift through the pages as my eyes flick between the lines.

I get off my knees, turning to lean back onto the wall, I need some time alone and this is the perfect way of doing it, getting lost in the book.

I haven't gone to work for a while either, just a random thought. I wonder what everyone is thinking of that? Especially Charlotte since I have gotten her into trouble I haven't seen her or her friends around.
