All it took was a smile for Isabella Brown's life to change forever.
"Aiden please", I beg. My wrists were bleeding because of the friction of the ties and the cut on my leg was bleeding profusely. Despite all of that, nothing scared me more than A...

Italian.
The first thing which came to my mind. His accent was Italian and beautiful at that. He looked into my eyes again but this time, he smiled. I blushed and looked down, my fingers automatically started fidgeting and I nervously looked back at him.
"Hello", I try to say with all the confidence I have. Gear up Bells, I whisper to myself. He turns his body towards me so now we're facing each other.
"What's your name Bellissima?" he asks. That accent would've made my knees drop. I noticed his eyelashes, they were long and curvy. It enhanced the beauty of his face.
"Isabella", I say. "And yours?"
"Ah, my Bella", he says. I love the way he says my name, testing it out on his tongue as he speaks. "You've got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen, Bella", he says and his face gets all serious again. His jaw is clenched and he's looking into my eyes again. Suddenly, I don't know what to say. He takes a sip of his scotch and he leans towards me. I can smell his strong cologne and I feel myself getting turned on. "I saw you dance in your little dress and you surely took my breath away. Do you even know how many men had their eyes on you while you danced?" I can feel his breath on my neck and as I registered in what he said, he retreated. His fingers moved a strand of my hair behind my ear. His touch was cold, as ice and my insides were screaming as all this happened.
"I-I didn't see", I whisper. He got me right where he wanted me, speechless. He chuckled but it was not in good way. "You better be careful, Bella. Anything can happen anywhere". Suddenly I was scared of him and I wanted to leave but a part of me knew that if I did, it would not be good. I gripped on the table and he saw that. I tried to smile and defuse the situation hoping that one of my friends would just come and take me from here.
"Here's your drink", the bartender gave it to me. When he saw the man sitting next to me, he gulped and scurried away. I realized he was a powerful man but that scared look on the bartender's face told me that he was bad news. I took this as my chance of escape and I said, "Thank you, it was nice to meet you, my friends are waiting for me". Without looking back, I almost ran back to my table and sat on the chair.
My heart was pounding and I didn't even know why. I wanted to get out of here. I looked at the bar again and that man was talking to some other men. All of them were strong and built and were wearing suits. I saw Justin approaching them and I gasped. Does he know that man? How does he know him? There were a million thoughts crossing my mind.
All I knew was that we had to get out of here. I told Ben to get Justin and Alicia and I went to find Dany. As soon as we got up from the table, we heard loud shots in the air. Everyone around started screaming and panicking as continuous shots were blown. I looked around to see that everyone was getting shot around us. Alicia screamed and I pulled her under the table and we held each other. Sounds of glasses shattering, tables collapsing and everyone screaming murder could be heard.
