Opening your eyes, you looked around. You were still locked in the same room like before and you wondered if you were still in Japan. Seeing as you weren't sleepy or tired from the travel, you must have been in Japan. Most likely, still in Namimori.

Turning your head, your eyes fell on doors, seeing they were rather old and made of iron. Narrowing your eyebrows, you looked back in front and towards small window that was the only source of light. Biting your lower lip, you tried to free yourself from the rope, but without success.

"They're on the move, boss."

A voice made you stop your ministration as you looked towards doors.

"Good." You heard the boss reply before he opened the doors. The light made you squeeze your eyes, but you quickly adjusted to the brightness. "Ah, I see you're awake again." He smiled at you.

With a scowl on your face, you turned your head from his sight, but still looked at him from the side. If he was anything like you remember, you knew he wouldn't touch you. He had others to do the dirty work for him.

"Come now [Name], don't give me this attitude." He smiled and pulled the chair from the corner and dragged it until he sat down right in front of you. He leaned on the backside of the chair, his bright eyes staring right at you.

There was silence as he stared at you and you right back at him. Neither backed down.

A moment passed before a chuckle escaped his lips that soon turned into laughter. You were confused. Why was he laughing? Was he sane? He probably wasn't but hearing his laughter made your skin crawl.

"You're really amazing, you know that, [Name]?" he asked and straightened up. "I mean; your husband hid you from everyone's sights so no one knew where you were. It took me a year to find about that town in the North of Italy. Even then I couldn't point your exact location. But imagine my surprise when I heard you lost your memories!" His laughter returned and he leaned forward again like an excited child that got his old toy back.

"So tell me. You think Dino will want to be with you now?"

You frowned.

"You lost his child, an heir that could inherit Cavallone. Dead."

You flinched, eyes burning.

"You ended in hospital with no memories." He continued, his smile wide. "After you woke up, you were so lost and had no idea about who you were you even lashed at the doctor!"

Looking away, you bit your lower lip, remembering it clearly. You remembered how Dino held you from behind, his presence calming you as you broke down.

"Then you spent the rest two years, until recently, in mental hospital. Dino wanted to keep an eye on you. He didn't trust you so he didn't tell anyone about your marriage either."

"You're lying!" You glared at him, eyes welling up as your nose burned.

He seemed taken aback before he laughed, throwing his head back. He held for his stomach like he just heard a joke of the century. "Come now, [Name], don't tell me you think that after everything you put him through, he still loves you?" He looked back at you and shook with head. "I pity you, I really do."

He stood up and approached you. You refused to look at him, but he held your chin and turned you his way.

"Let's bet. I'll give him a week to find you. If he finds you in this time, I'll believe he still cares for you. If he doesn't, you'll understand that what you believe is a lie."

Releasing your chin with a shove, he left the room, leaving you alone to your thoughts.

"I'll love you till the end of days." Dino smiled and placed a ring your left ring finger. His brown eyes stared at you with amazement, love, care and warmth.

You returned the smile.

You blinked and shook with head, trying to empty your thoughts.

Opening your eyes, you frowned at the unfamiliar place and face that was seated by your side. A young man with blond hair held your hand and you snatched it away. He raised his gaze to look at you and smiled, but frowned seconds later.

"Who are you?" You asked and looked around, your heart beating against your chest like it tried to jump out.

"It's alright [Name]—" "How do you know my name?"

You interrupted him and ignored the pain you felt in stomach. You needed to get out.

Your breathing hitched as your eyes went from one to the other side.

"You think he'll still love you?"

It was Dino, of course he would.

"Especially after you lost his child? His heir?"

It was Dino… He swore…

"He didn't trust you."

You began shaking your head and leaned forward. It was hard to breathe as with each breath out it was impossible to take one in. You gasped, your breathing loud.

"Dino, Dino, Dino…" You called for him, but he was nowhere. You were alone in the dark room and you tugged on the rope, groans turning into screams. Your head was filled with memories from years before.

"Hi, I'm Dino. What's your name?"

You choked on your breath.

"I like you a lot [Name]! Would you be my girlfriend?"

Unshed tears streamed down your cheeks and you unconsciously tugged on the rope stronger. You screamed, a memory after memory playing in your head.

"I know your parents don't really approve of me despite agreeing to the marriage." Dino laughed bitterly as he stood on the bridge by your side. You both stared at the sunset. Reaching for his hand, you gave it a squeeze that he returned back.

"I'm part of mafia and I don't like it. You know that," He continued, "and I also want you to know I'll do anything in my power and knowledge to keep you safe." He turned to you, his expression serious yet still gentle. "I'm getting a tutor, who'll teach me. I don't like it, but I don't want to leave my father more disappointed than he already is."

"He's proud of you." You smiled and his eyes widened. "And I trust you." You added and leaned closer to his face before pressing your lips on his cheek.

If he loved you, why was he hiding you from everyone?

You gasped for air before you glared at the man that now stood in front of you once more. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes gave him away with the sparkle as he watched you.

"Let me tell you something, [Name]." His voice was quieter than before.

Looking towards window you realized it was already dark and the light now came from the candle that was on the table. It was already evening, if not night, and it only made you feel worse.

"You know why he won't find you so soon?" The corner of his lips turned into half smirk. "We're right down the street where Vongola lives and no one would ever look at the house right under their nose, would they?"
