Florina's heart started racing rapidly when she saw Sebastian standing with an arrogant smirk. Slowly
averting her eyes she found Vincenzo who was throwing daggers at him with his hateful glare and his
tight grip on the glass didn't go unnoticed by her.
She could still remember how they were ready to kill each other the other night, she wasn't ready for
that drama again.
Sebastian kissed her cheeks and she froze in her place.
"You look so Fucking sexy, butterfly..."
He complemented and sat on the chair in front of her.
Vincenzo and Sebastian gave each other the nasty glare but she was quite confused on why they were
not fighting, the other day they were so violent and now it feels like they are in a cold war.
"Pensavo che tu fossi quello che è più saggio tra noi ..." (I thought you were the wisest among us)
Florina's eyes snapped towards Sebastian who spoke in Italian. She never thought that he could speak
that too. It was making her more frustrated that they were purposely communicating in another
language so she doesn't understand.
"Tutto è giusto in amore e in guerra..." (Everything is fair in love and war)
Vincenzo replied with a smirk.
"Se vuoi giocare sporco, allora sono più che pronto." (If you wanna play dirty then I am more than
ready.)
Sebastian gritted.
"Lo stai già facendo. spaventarla a sottomettersi non era male, ma fai attenzione. La prossima volta
tieni le sigarette in tasca altrimenti ti faccio vedere come ci si sente a bruciarsi... Ohh! ma immagino
che tu lo sappia molto bene, vero?"...
(You are already doing it. Scaring her into submission wasn't bad, but be careful.. Next time keep your
cigarettes in your pocket otherwise I will show you how does it feel to be burnt... Ohh! but I guess you
know very well, don't you?)
Vincenzo mocked with a smirk and Sebastian clenched his jaw angrily.
Florina was watching them carefully, trying to get hints on what they were talking about.
'How did Sebastian knew that we are here. They never crossed paths when they came into my
apartment. How did they knew that I am sick?...'
Florina's eyes widened in shock when she realized.
"Did you two put hidden cameras in my apartment?..."
'No doubt they did, they have access to my apartment... Fuck'
Both of them looked at her and smirked.
"You are not that stupid, butterfly..."
Sebastian winked making her scowl.
"How could you... This is sick..."
She stood up to leave.
"Sit the fuck down..."
Vincenzo glared at her.
"Now..."
He said in a low threatening voice.
Florina looked around and people were already looking at them curiously. Not wanting to create a
scene and embarrass herself she sat down.
The waiter brought their food and set it on the table but she was in no mood to eat anything.
'God knows for how many days I was under their watch... Do they have cameras in my bathroom too...
This is insane, I can't believe this...'
"What happened, butterfly... Please eat. He has done so much preparation, you can't hurt his feelings
like this. Enjoy your night because we are already enjoying ours..."
Sebastian mocked looking at Vincenzo and he scowled.
Florina gave them a fake smile and started eating, completely ignoring both of them.
She could feel how tense the situation was, they were on edge of grabbing each other's throat.
Vincenzo was already fuming in anger as Sebastian has already ruined his date and Sebastian was
mad as Florina was on a date with Vincenzo and not him.
They wouldn't have cared much about her but now they do because they both has an interest in the
same girl. It is not only about her now, this was now their ego, power and desire of possession to win
from the other and they both are not ready to loose.
Florina took a few bites but she felt like the food is stuck in her throat as they both were watching her
not bothering to eat. She was very uncomfortable under their heated gaze.
She placed the spoon on the plate and was about to grab a glass of wine but Sebastian snatched the
glass from her hand.
"You are not drinking... Ever..."
He warned and she understood why he was saying that.
"Are you done ?..."
Vincenzo asked and she nodded.
"Good..."
He grabbed her arm and dragged her outside.
Leading her towards the car Vincenzo slammed her against it.
Florina struggled in his hold.
"Why did you had to involve him Florina... WHY?..."
Vincenzo growled at her and her eyes watered. He cupped her face and crashed his lips on hers.
Florina tried to push him away but his kiss got rougher, he held her firmly by her waist and devoured
her mouth. His grip on her neck tightened when she didn't kiss him back. Vincenzo let her when she
struggled to breath.
"You are mine... Keep it in mind, do you understand..."
He growled at her making her shiver.
"We'll see that..."
She was jerked away from Vincenzo by Sebastian. Florina landed on his chest and Sebastian slammed
his lips on her's. His kiss was rougher than Vincenzo like he was trying to punish her, her scalp was
stinging by his tight hold. He dominated her mouth like he was erasing all the traces of Vincenzo from
her mouth.
He finally let her go and she gasped for breath, her tears were now freely flowing.
"What the hell are you doing?... You two are out of your mind..."
She yelled frustratingly at them.
Vincenzo grabbed her arm and pushed her inside the car making her stumble on the car seat. She saw
Matteo on the driver seat who was looking at her with pity. Florina fixed her dress and looked out of the
window. The car roared to life and the last thing she saw was Vincenzo throwing punch at Sebastian.
She knew that this night won't end up good for any of them.
A sob escaped her mouth as she wiped her ruined lipstick, her scalp was still burning from the abuse.
She felt violated after what they did to her.
No doubt she was physically attracted to them but it was fading after seeing their real faces. They were
hurting her.
"Here... You need this"
Matteo gave her his handkerchief. She thanked him and took it.
"It's quite impossible Florina but I suggest you to run away from this..."
He said and florina looked at him horrified.
"You are the only one who will get hurt in this. Even if you choose one the other will destroy you. You
have trapped yourself in a vicious cycle. Their is no solution, if you want to survive then escape..."
"Why me... Why would they hurt me?... Let them kill each other for all I care. This is so fucked up..."
She furiously wiped her tears.
"Yes, this is fucked up... but at least you can save yourself, hide somewhere for few days. I am sure
they will forget about you once you are out of their sight. All this chaos is not for you, it's just their
ego..."
He pulled in front of her apartment.
"How do I escape... There are cameras and guards in front of my apartment..."
She sobbed.
"That's not my problem... I just told you what I felt..."
He replied nonchalantly.
"Please... Please help me. I can't take this, they are insane."
She pleaded and he sighed shaking his head no.
"Please... Would you have done the same if it were happening with your sister. Would you have turned
your back like this..."
"I am loyal to Vincenzo, Florina... I can't help you. I am sorry..."
He looked away.
"Just distract the guards, I'll manage Everything... Please, just that..."
Her pleading eyes were making him feel terrible.
"Okay... You have 10 minutes..."
He said and her heart filled with happiness.
She quickly got out of the car. Getting in her apartment she changed her clothes and wore jeans and
sweatshirts. She packed her bag and laptop. She still had five minutes, so she decided to check her
laptop.
She grabbed her head in disbelief when she saw her laptop is empty. There was no evidence, no
recording, pictures... Nothing.
'How is this possible... It should be there...'
She was sure that someone has tempered with her laptop.
'Who is doing it and why... This was my last hope to get the evidence. Why is this happening to me,
why...'
She cried hiding her face over her fate. When she heard two car honks she knew it's a signal from
Matteo telling her time is almost up. She grabbed her bag and threw it over her shoulder and peaked
outside, no one was there.
Florina succeeded in getting out of the building. She took a cab and head towards the airport, her heart
was pounding as she ran away from everything hoping no one saw her.
Florina wasn't sure where she wanted to go and hide. The place should be convenient and it should
help her to hide without costing much.
She bought a ticket for India. She has been there before as a tourist and there was no problem of visa
too as she already has one, so she was kind of familiar with the things there and no doubt it will cost
her less considering the difference between the money value. It would be easy for her to hide due to
the large population. Keeping all these things in mind she choose India.
Her flight was in two hours, she was sitting in the waiting area praying that they should not notice her
absence. Every second felt like an hour as she waited.
She hide her face in her palms and sighed thinking about the mess that her life is.
'What have I done... Can I really choose between them... No, what are you thinking florina. You don't
have to choose, you don't need them. '
Her whole body froze in it's place when she felt a presence beside her and the familiar mocking voice.
"India... Huh?... Great choice but let me tell you, butterfly. It's not difficult to track someone there,
especially a beautiful girl like you..."
