Kiara

It's been another four months since I've been here. Thankfully it's starting to be somewhat tolerable and I have Marcellous to thank for that. He's slowly starting to grow on me. Slowly. He saved me twice from Dario's wrath  which proved to me that he does actually have a beating heart. He coached me in my Italian even though I already had a tutor for that and he somehow convinced Dario to let me call Kiana a second time. It sucks that I can't see or speak to my best friend and often as I'd like but as bad as it is here I realised acting out could've made things a whole lot worse for me.
Nine months since I've been kidnapped. Imagine that. I've been beaten more times than I can count on both hands. Dario is a very violent man and he hates when I tell him No or speak back to him period.  His word is final as he keeps saying. My brain finally registered that so I find myself biting my tongue alot to avoid any problems with him. He speaks to me a little more now, I mean he told me about the mafia not everything but at least added a little on what Marcellous already told me. He informed me that there are other mafias including their biggest enemy the De Luca Mafia. Apparantly it's another powerful mafia in Italy but for years they've been under the Romano's. At some point they had a truce but we didn't quite get into what ended it. He said that was for another time.

I've met his parents and they're nothing like that I expected. His mother seemed welcoming and sweet like a normal mother would be. His father on the other hand reminded me alot of Dario. He's aura screamed power. He was a deadly gorgeous looking man but scary at the same time. I couldn't even look at him for too long without feeling like I would piss myself. When he spoke, all the hairs on my body rose at attention. He spoke with authority much like his son. I bet he's proud of the monsters he's created.

Overall things between Dario and I are better. I learnt by force what ticks him off so I do anything but that. I try my best to follow his commands because I'm still stubborn at heart so that lands me in trouble sometimes, other times he lets me off with a warning or just smirks as if it's almost entertaining. We have sex way too often for my liking. My body is always tired and weak after sex with Dario and yet when he touches me, it reacts as if it's been craving him. It's confusing and frustrating all at once. Especially since Dario forgot hoe to pull out as of recently. It's bad enough that we don't use protection but for him to be careless enough to release his seed inside of me without a care in the world is beyond me. I cursed him out that first time he did and I was almost choked to death. I managed to buy some plan b pills one time I went to the mall with Camila though and was able to hide it from him. I don't think he would be pleased to know I have them which is ridiculous considering that this isn't his body.

"Kiara aren't you ready yet?" Camila barged into the room.

"Yeah let's go."

There's this ball tonight that I'm supposed to attend with Dario so Camila and I are going to get our hair done. Of course Dario preferred that we just had the regular hairstylist to do that for us but I insisted that I needed some fresh air. Plus Camila had to get a few last minute things for her wedding that's a few days away. Over the months I've noticed alot of the big events he attends he needs a date by his side which is where I--as his lady comes into play. I have dreaded most of these events. Alot of them turned out to be illegal or scary or even both and I wanted no parts in those activities. According to Dario i would have to get used to these scenes so despite me not liking it he forced me to go each time. I've even witnessed him kill people much to my dismay. I cried so hard the first night I witness such a gruesome scene and all he did was held me in bed while I cried. I felt disgusted in his embrace. The same and that just took a man's life was holding me tight at night. Surely I knew what Dario was involved in given his position and all but to witness it with my own naked eyes was something completely different.
