Chapter 68.

*POV: ANTONELLA* 

"Why, why do you want me, we haven't even met!" I said in despair at the whole thing, I just wanted to have a quiet life, because that was almost impossible for me.

  "I want you, little angel, I simply want you for myself, to be my princess and my little angel," he said, looking me in the eye, I trembled with fear at that look in his eyes, it was worse than the look of possession the brothers had for me

  "I don't want to, I love Gabriel, Daniel, Adrian, and Antonni, they're the ones I care about!" I said, exasperated, wanting to get away from it all and disappear.

  "I don't care, I want you, and I know that in time, if you give me a chance, you'll like me!" he said seriously.

  "No I won't, please leave me alone!" I almost screamed with despair

  "Then I guess I'll have to take Miss Fanny with me to Russia!" he said smiling.

  "What, Fanny would never go with you!" I said, my eyes widening in shock, what he wanted with Fanny was another thing that didn't give me a minute's peace, we were two people who were about as crazy as each other.

  "She wouldn't have a choice, and she'd be good company for my men," he said seriously "I'd want you for myself, you'd be treated like a queen, but so that I don't go away rejected I'll bring a little present for my soldiers!" he said with a hard, grim expression.

  I felt my heart race, what a crazy man, why do this to Fanny, what did she have to do with all this?

  "Her brothers would kill you!" I said, and he laughed out loud and looked me straight in the eye.

  "No, little angel, I'd kill them all!" he said and I almost fell over with fright, my heart racing.

  "Because..."

  "I've told you, I want you, if you come with me of your own free will, his brothers and sister will stay intact and I'll even help Arthur, otherwise I'll take the girl, the madmen will come after them and they'll all be killed!" he said cruelly and I started to cry.

  "Don't do that, don't kill them!" I said.

  "It's your choice, little angel! Come with me, be mine and the Torres will be safe!

    "I don't want to... please leave us alone..." I sobbed with fear

   "I'll give you some time to think, little angel, I'm going to Russia in three days, I want your answer the day after tomorrow!"

  He said it and I cried, I couldn't believe this was happening to me, I couldn't go with this man, be his wife, I didn't want to, I loved the crazy brothers and I wanted to be with them

  And if he took Fanny, she wouldn't be able to stand it and the brothers wouldn't be able to stand it and Ivan would kill them for going after Fanny and it would all be my fault, I should have let that madman stay locked up in that bathroom forever

  Why did I go and help this madman, why does my life have to be like this, I just wanted to be at peace and enjoy the brothers for a while, even if fate wasn't going to make us be together forever, being separated from him in these circumstances was horrible, I couldn't let them die and I couldn't become a prisoner just because a madman decided he wanted me, I was tired of it already.

  "And don't tell anyone about our conversation before your answer or I'll kill everyone and go back to Russia quietly! It's you I want, I'll leave the others alone if you come with me, little blonde angel!"

"I don't..."

  "Just think of the consequences if you don't come with me, in two days I'll arrange to see you and I want your answer, if you decide to go, we'll leave from there if you decide to stay I'll arrange to take Fanny!" he said and touched my face "I shouldn't have fallen in love with you, but it happened and consider it your salvation, little blonde angel!" he said, and I took his hand away from my face.

  "Salvation? You're trying to take me away from the people I love and that's my salvation?" I said angrily.

   "You'll see!" he said, looking at me "Bye, little blonde angel!" he left, and I cried again, my life couldn't be like this, when everything was going well, something bad always had to happen.

  Me going to Russia to be the wife of that man I didn't even know and didn't want to, leaving the four crazy people he already knew, to face a crazy person he didn't know and who seemed to be worse than his own

  I recovered a little and came out of the bathroom to see the four brothers talking to some people. I went over to them and hugged Gabriel from behind, seeking comfort.

  Gabriel pulled me to face him, and I clung to him again, hiding my face in his chest

  "I want to go home with you!" I said, almost crying, and Gabriel smiled happily

  "Then let's go right now!" he said, holding my face between his hands and looking at me seriously "Were you crying, love?" he asked

  "No!" I said, hiding my face in his arms.

  "What's wrong, little one?"  Adrian stroked my hair.

"Tell me who made you cry, now tell me who made you cry and I'll beat the son of a bitch up," Antonni said in his usual exaggerated and crazy way, and I laughed.

  "You are my favorite freaks!" I said, laughing.

  "Who made you cry, little blonde, just say it!" said Daniel, hugging me.

  "No one, I just drank a little!"

  "Did you drink through your eyes, Antonella?"  Antonni said seriously and I laughed out loud

  "Stop it..." I saw Ivan approaching and automatically hid behind Gabriel, unconsciously looking for protection, the four of them looked at me suspiciously and then turned to Ivan.

  "What have you done to my blonde, you Russian asshole?"  Gabriel said

  "What?" I went in front of him quickly, before any trouble could break out "Nobody did anything to me, I told you I drank too much, that's all!" I said, "Because you never believe me!" I said in a blackmailing way, they looked at me and sighed.

   "Alright love, let's go home!"  Gabriel pulled me close and held me in his arms

   "I just came to say goodbye to the birthday girl, I'm already leaving!" he said "See you soon, little blonde angel!"  Ivan said and came over to kiss my cheek. I went to stand back and Antonni pushed him away before I could do anything.

  "Don't fucking touch her!" he said, glaring fiercely at Ivan, who laughed and left.

  I leaned on Gabriel, I don't know if I was terrified or drunk, but Gabriel looked at me with a face like a few friends.
