Young God

Chapter 6

For a few moments, it was silent before I heard his raspy voice begin to talk, "I didn't want to go to Italy."

Before I could ask questions he continued talking, "My dad forced me to go, one day he told me and the next I was gone. I had to leave everything behind here. Everything. He won't tell anyone this but he kept me in charge of the business in Italy. The things I saw, it destroys a person. The things I had to do, they were all awful. You would think that it would break me down but it didn't. The power I had through the fear I emitted, it made me thirsty, thirsty for more. I was hungry for the power, for the complete and total control I had over everyone. I had completely changed and I loved it. People fear me now, and they'll fear me even more once I'm actually the Don. I was just a kid when I left, but I grew up real quick. I was a new person, and yet there was one part of me that remained the same. It was the part of my heart that you had control over and you didn't even know it. I could forgive him for making me into a monster, for making me the power-hungry man I am. However, I could never forgive him for taking me away from the only person that matters to me. You."

He looked me straight in the eyes and I held my breath. I didn't know how to react or what to say, but this confirmed everything I had assumed thus far. Leo had feelings for me.

"Why me?" I asked him.

"It was when I saw you for the first time at your father's law firm when you were around eight years old. I was also eight at the time, but my father wanted me to begin getting a grasp at everything that involved the business and that included meeting the man who handled all of my father's legal trouble. That moment I saw you, I knew there was something special about you. You were beautiful then and you're even more beautiful now. But I had to be patient and wait until you were ready to understand. Once I was forced to leave for Italy, I made sure to have guards posted around to keep you safe and especially keep all unwanted males away from you. This is all I can tell you for now. Things tend to work differently in my family and one day when you're ready I'll tell you, but for now you'll just have to wait." he said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait! What the hell? You have barely talked to me and yet you have this crush on me? Then, out of nowhere, you begin to show this interest in me? It doesn't make sense." Leo had to be the most confusing person in the world.

Before he could respond however I remembered something else he said, "And your guards did what! You hired people to keep boys away from me? For what reason? Oh my God, is this what your parents meant earlier? Did they know about this crush you had on me?" I asked him almost yelling at this point. I was confused.

He sighed, "Well first off, I couldn't handle myself. I hadn't seen you in two years, that is two too many, so my instincts seemed to kick in and I had to find you. I had waited too long, and after all, I am an impatient man Aria. And of course my parents knew, you are the reason for my return after all.

And for that other part, you're mine and I didn't want any little boys around you. Period." He said venomously with jealousy laced in his voice. From seeing the many sides of Leo today, this one had to be the one that was the worst.

"I'm what? No, I'm not yours, you can't just put some kind of claim on me like that. Who do you think you are? You can't tell me who I can and can't be around," I yelled at him.

I got up to walk away from him, honestly done with the conversation and him. However, I was quickly grabbed and pulled against a very hard chest. I was breathing hard at this point and I could feel his heart beating quickly through his chest as well.

"You can try to run all you want sweetheart, but I will always find a way back to you. If being across the world couldn't stop me from getting you, nothing will," he flipped me around so now our chests were touching and our faces were inches away from each other. "I understand you're not completely accustomed to my ways yet, but all you need to know for now is that you are mine and I am yours." His voice was filled with possessiveness and total seriousness.

I didn't know how I should be feeling, however, I was mostly just confused. Things were moving too quickly and I felt suffocated. Leo had everything figured out it seemed like and he left no room for discussion.

If he thought I was some girl that was just going to accept his terms and conditions, he was wrong. "Listen here Leo, I don't know anything about you and until that happens, we are nothing. You want us to be something, you need to ask me as a real gentleman would. I have standards." I patted his cheek with my hand, and he looked surprised, but that quickly changed to a look of challenge.

"You're a stubborn one huh? Good thing I like a challenge," he winked at me before letting go of me and going back inside.

He's gonna mess my life up.
