Recap...

I get up and start running again. I just have to get away. I don't know how far I can go though because I'm in a lot of pain.

Kiera POV:

I continue running as fast as I can but after a few minutes I start to slow down. I see a man in front of me so I turn and run to the other side of the street I'm on and run faster. I know him and the other men are still following me. I assume they're my other cousins but I don't want anything to do with any of them.

I start to lose my breath but try to continue running but I know I'm getting slower. After a little more running someone grabs me from behind and picks me up. Other men come in front of me and surround me. "I got her," the man that's holding me says. I start to fight him but he's just like Allessandro.
"Good, get her in the car," I hear Allessandro say walking up to me and the man. "Don't let her go," he says and stands there. A few minutes later a few cars pull up and the man holding me carries me to one, Allessandro follows. The rest of the men go to the other cars and we start driving back to the house. I continue fighting but I know it's useless.

When we make it back the man carries me out of the car and Allessandro comes with. Then he takes me from the man carrying me. "Everyone back inside, I'll take her to my office," he says and starts walking inside. Everyone does as he says. He takes me through the halls of the house and stops at a door. He shifts me so he can open it and as soon as he's inside he shuts and locks the door. He carries me to a chair and puts me down. I just decide to sit there because I can't do anything else. He eventually sits down after looking through paperwork in his filing cabinet.

Allessandro POV:

This is going to be a lot harder then I thought. My little cousin is a runner. I don't know what to do if she continues running away. I managed to get her into my office and she's sitting quietly so at least she's calmed down. I looked through the files I have on her. The social worker I met gave me them and I haven't had a chance to look through them because we got her and left right away while I had them sent back here. The good thing is we were already in Italy for business so we could take her right away. Now we're in New York.

After I'm done looking through her paperwork I go and sit at my desk. I don't know what to say to her but I have to get her to stop running and she has to learn the rules. I don't think punishing her would help. "Why did you run?" I decide to ask.
"I don't want to be here,"
"It's not up to you, and you can't run away,"
"Fine,"
"If you try to run away again we will lock you in your room," I say and she just glares at me. "There are some rules you have to follow," I say and she looks down.

Kiera POV:

As soon as he said rules I started thinking back to Rodger's rules. Rodger's rules were cruel, and breaking any of them came with abuse. What if Allessandro makes the same ones?

"Rule number 1, get good grades at school and don't skip," Allessandro says. That's not a problem.
"Rule number 2, no boys, if you want a male friend then we have to approve of them," I don't like boyfriends anyway.
"Rule number 3, no drugs or alcohol," who does he think I am?
"Rule number 4, give us respect, we will return it," as long as it's returned I guess.
"Rule number 5, if you go anywhere you have to tell us," definitely not.
"Rule number 6, don't go to the top floor or the basement," what is this, Wattpad?
"Rule number 7, we expect verbal answers and eye contact when we speak, it's a sign of respect," I seriously hate this.
"Fine," I say and look up.
"And Rule number 8, don't run away, I know you don't want to be here but don't run away it's not safe," I'll still do it.
"Fine,"
"That's the last rule, everyone will introduce themselves at dinner and Alfeo will show you around the house later," he says.
"Ok, can I go now,"
"Yes, I will take you to your room. Are you going to runaway?"
"No," I say but I think he can tell I will try again.
"If you do, there will be consequences," he tells me. This time he speaks different, his voice is colder. I just nod and walk out completely ignoring the talking rule. I start walking and Allessandro comes out of his office. "I'll take you to your room," he says and walks towards me. I forgot he said he would take me. I can't wait until I can get out of here. "Let's go," he says and starts walking in front of me. I follow him to a long hallway and he takes me to the end of it and opens a door on the left. "This is your room, my rooms right here," he says and points to the one to the right of my room, "If you need anything you can come to me, I'll be in there or my office. It's already 10:00 pm so go to bed, Introductions will have to wait until the morning," he says and walks away. I enter my room and close the door.

I take my bag off of my shoulders and set it on the couch. (It's a backpack) My room is like 10x bigger than the flat I was living in. I decide to look around and take a bath before going to bed. I don't know how I managed to even move let alone run without my pain killers. I'm in so much pain right now. But I have to make the pain killers last so I'll only take them in the mornings. I put on some sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. I crawl into bed and eventually drift off to sleep.

This is her room.

Walk in closet.

And bathroom.

This is there house.
