In school
Girl 1: Look at him! He's so handsome! Aww, I'll don anything for him!
Girl 1 said staring at Dean with heart eyes.
Girl 2: I heard yesterday he locked himself in the bathroom with three girls and came back an hour later.
Girl 1: Fuck! With whom??
Girl 2: Jesse said she saw.....
Girl 2 was caught off when Venus walked up to both of them.
Venus: Hi, guys! What's up?
Girl 1: Dean is back at school! He's the definition of perfection! Look at his body! Take a good look at him! Damn!
Girl 2: Whoa! He is coming! He is coming towards us! Vi! Do I look nice? Does my hair look nice?
'Cool it down, idiot! He is mine! Not in a million years would he be interested in trash like you.' Venus thought.
Girl 2: Oh, I am trembling! What do I do??
Tristian walks up to the 3 girls.
Tristian: Vi! You look so gorgeous this morning.
Dean: Get lost, Tristian, before my first meets your stupid face. Leave her alone!
Tristan: Cant do that I'm afraid, she's my best friend!
Venus: Calm down, guys. Class is about to begin. Shall we?
Girl 1: What the heck just happened?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean and Venus;
Dean: I missed you!
Venus: Me too, love. I'm so happy you're back at school!
Dean: I couldn't stay away from you, even if I hate this shithole with such a passion.
Venus: You're here, the details don't matter.
Dean: My perfect girl, you drive me crazy.
Venus: I love you!
Dean: I love you more!
And they started to make out which lead to other things.

Kaden
Kaden: You came.
Dad: Why am I here?
Kaden: For Della.
Dad: You're letting me see her?
Kaden: Yes. I'm leaving tomorrow and she's coming with me.
Dad: No! Don't take her! I wont.....
Kaden: Do you want to see her or not?
Dad: Yes.
Kaden: Please?
Dad: Please, I want to see my daughter.
Kaden: You have thirty minutes.
And I walked away while Della rushed to hug him.
Della: DAD?!
Dad: Oh, love. How is he treating you?
Della: Don't worry about me, it's like I moved in with my boyfriend.
Dad: Della Dior Royal!
Della: I am kidding, please relax. Kaden is treating me well, I promise. I'm the one whos giving him a headache.
Dad: That's my girl.
Della: Why are you here? Did something happen??
Dad: No, Kaden invited me to see you.
Della: He invited you? You mean you're not here to rescue me?
Dad: It's not like that, baby. This tome is a bit different. People like Kaden do things out of the ordinary. Alright, don't give me that look. He's using you to get to me.
Della: Geez, thanks Dad!
Dad: I'm sorry, Della. He knows you're my weakness.
Della: I am not your only weakness! Why do I always get caught in the middle of your mess?
Dad: No comment.
Della: He wants you to move back to Spain.
Dad: How much do you know?
Della: Not much, just that.
Dad: What do you think?
Della: I think you should co-operate. Finn needs me.
Dad: You're thinking about Finn and not yourself?
Della: Yes. Finn needs me, you know it.
Dad: Well, he's not going to hurt you. I will do whatever I have to. Just give me some time. Can you keep on being strong for me? I know his family, I used to be awfully close to his father. Kaden is not stupid, he knows family is important to me.
Della: I already told you, if I co-operate, he treats me will. I'm worried about you, to be honest.
Dad: I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Della: I'm sorry too. My life depends on you.
Dad: It's not fair you have to pay for my sins.
Della: Hey, don't blame yourself. What's done is done.
Dad: He has a brother in prison, I'm working on his case.
Della: Then I'll be leaving this house sooner than expected.
Dad: That's the plan. A few more days and you'll be out of here.
Della: Thank you, Dad! Tell me, how's Finn?
Dad: He thinks you are at Gram's but he waits for you every day in the same spot for an hour. Then he gets lost in math and everything's fine.
Della: Make sure Jane stays with him all the time. She's the only one he doesn't mind. Pay her double. She cant leave the house until I'm back. I trust her with my life.
Dad: I already did. Jane agreed to stay with him full time without me asking.
Della: Good. If Jane is there, Finn is going to be okay. She knows what to do.
Dad: Stop stressing, Jane takes good care of him.
Della: My sister must be worried.
Dad: Your mother too.
Della: Gee, don't lie. I know my mother.
Dad: In her way, she's worried. I know that. Della, be careful. He's very dangerous. Don't do anything to get him angry.
Della: It's too late. He gets angry every time I'm around.
Dad: Oh, my heart.
Della: I know he's a mafia boss, don't worry. I'll behave myself.
Dad: Don't question everything you see. People like Kaden are better to be avoided.
Della: I have a question myself, Dad. Were you as dangerous as he is?
Dad: Yes.
Della: Do you miss the feeling?
Kaden: Time to go, Della.
Della: Wait, I want to write something to Finn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the car with Della and Kaden;
Kaden: Della...
Della: I can't stop crying.
Kaden: We are almost there, pull yourself together.
Della: Shit, I ruined my makeup.
Kaden: Your old man better get on board.
Della: He will. He knows Finn needs me.
I take a deep breath. I don't know where we are, but to be fair I don't care. I'm not familiar with this part of the city.
Kaden: You're free to go.
Della: What? You're letting me go?
Kaden: Go. Be with your brother. Go before I change my mind! Go! Run! Run, Della!
I take a few steps. A few more. I turn around. He's looking at me. Why is he upset? Who cares, Della? Go! Go home! Be with Finn! Leave him, he doesn't need you. You cant fix everyone, some people are meant to be broken.
Go home, Della! Do the right thing!
Kaden: I said you are free to go.
I wrap my hands around him. I can hear his heartbeat. He's not a bad person. I can feel it. I'm following my intuition here. I know he can help me more than my own family will. I know my dad is not content in England. I know Finn is not going to school if I don't get him out of that.
If sticking around Kaden will get Finn out of that house then so be it.
Della: I need you as much as you need me.
Kaden: Why aren't you running?
Della: I've got a feeling everyone runs from you.
*Kaden's thought*
This girl will tear me apart once her goal is complete. She's like a butterfly. Too beautiful to stay in one place. Once her wings are open, she will fly without leaving a trace. Yet, I'm not scared of bring left behind. What's scary is that I do not recognize myself around her. Since when do I let a prisoner go? Since when do I take a girl with me for a club opening? When is the last time I hugged someone? Since when do I feel vulnerable around a woman? For the first time in my life, nothing is going as planned.
Why am I vulnerable around her? She was supposed to stay put for the month until I get what I'm after. I didn't see this coming. Que voy a hacer? Diablos, esto no es bueno. (What I am going to do? Hell, this is not good.) Esa fue la primera vez que la deje que me abrazara y fue tambien la primera vez que deje de sentirme solo. (That was the first time that I let her hold me and it was also the first time that I stopped feeling alone.)
It was the first time I ever let her hug me, and that was the first time I didn't feel alone anymore.
Kaden: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Della: Your men are white as ghosts.
Kaden: Shit.
Della: Were you lost in my arms, Kadey Boy?
Kaden: Lets go inside, and we will finish this later.
Della: I'm not done with you.
Kaden: Neither am I.
Della: Oh...…
He chuckled and dragged me into the club.
Elena: Mr. Kaden De Santo, you did such a great job! The club is spectacular.
Della: Is this club yours?
Elena: Thanks for inviting me, I'd like to buy you a drink.
Della: He's going to buy me a drink. Excuse us.
Elena: Whos she?
Della: Someone with better style.
Kaden: Lets go, baby.
Baby?? What's he playing at? Wait! I don't care! I enjoy seeing her lifting her paw a bit just like a little puppy.
Kaden: You're quite the drama queen.
Della: She's one of your girls?
Kaden: Mm...….
Della: Do you have a girlfriends?
What the hell Della? Since when do you care if he has a girlfriend or not??
Della: I'm only asking because I assume I wont leave your side tonight, it will be awkward to be the third wheel.
Kaden: I don't do 'girlfriends.'
Della: Good. I don't do 'boyfriends.'
Then a man walked up to us.
Man: It's such a pleasure to be here tonight. I've been waiting for this club to open, and I think it might be good for your business.
Della: How many clubs do you own?
Kaden: Stop asking me questions.
Della: Sir, such a pleasure to meet you. Let me offer you a drink.
Man: The pleasure is all mine, Miss.
Kaden: Come here.
Della: What?
Kaden: I didn't mean to be rude earlier.
Della: Apologize.
Kaden: Let me get you that drink.
Della: Mm.....
Man 2: Whos she?
Man 1: No idea. Everyone is wondering who the mystery girl is. Find out.
Man 2: Yes, sir.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Della: Where are we going?
Kaden: Relax, I own the building.
Della: Holy cow!
Kaden: Don't let anyone enter this floor.
Bodyguard: Yes, sir.
Kaden: Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back shortly. Close the door.
Della: You're leaving me alone?! Don't you dare!
Kaden: I have business to take care of. Get some sleep.
Della: Kaden! I did not come dressed to sleep! Come, join me for a glass of champagne.
Kaden: Sparkling water is all you get. You are wild sober. I don't want to imagine how wild you'll be drunk.
Della: Close the door.
Kaden: Della...
Della: I want to show you something.
*Kaden's thoughts*
She's ending me alive.
Della: Unzip my dress.
Kaden: Della....
Della: Relax. I just want you to see something.
*Kaden's thoughts*
She slowly takes her dress off. I almost forget to breathe, fuck me! She's beautiful. O sea, su cuerpo es....( I mean, like, her body is just.....)
Della: One summer night we had a little party in our backyard. It was Finn's birthday. He came out with a big knife in his hands. I was scared to death. He said he wanted to see what blood looks like. I started to panic, I couldn't let him cut himself. I told him, "My blood looks cooler, I promise." When I closed my eyes for a brief moment he plunge the knife deep into my lower belly. One of my mom's friends recorder it n her phone. Since then Finn cant leave the house. My mother thinks he dangerous. That woman thinks he's bringing sham tp our family. She's wrong, the poor soul didn't know what he was doing. He felt terrible. I was the one who understood him. He didn't know I would feel pain, nobody explained anything to him. It isn't his fault for being born with an illness. He needs support, better education, and love. Once he sees certain things, he stops questioning. He would never hurt anyone. He's a good kid, clever I might add. So, Kaden, that's as far as I'm willing to go for my brother. I will even give my life for him. I will do anything for him! If you are the one who can help me, then I'll do anything to get him out of that house. Don't close me in a room, I'm not useless. I'm not scared and I'm not stupid. I...
He presses his lips against mine amidst talking. The kiss is intense, passionate and sweet for a rough man like him. He feels sorry for me? He shouldn't! In our world, there's no room for love, he should know that! His eyes showed me that I've earned his respect as he earned mine the moment let me go. He doesn't need to tell me anything. We met under crazy circumstances, but our stories are even crazier. Our reasons to help each other are powerful enough to keep us together. I'm afraid his reasons are deeper than what he told me. That's fine.
I'll handle whatever he brings to the table.
Kaden: Let's go before....
Della: Yes. Let's take care of your guests. Shall we? I need to use the restroom.
Kaden: I'll wait for you downstairs.
Della: Okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaden: Don't guard the door. Give here privacy, no va a huir. (She's not going to run.)
Bodyguard 1: What the heck? Did I hear him right?
Bodyguard 2: Fuck my life! What's going on between them?
Bodyguard 1: Something's fishy.
Bodyguard 2: He's going to use her as he did with the rest.
Bodyguard 1: Nah, this girl has him wrapped around his tiny finger.
Bodyguard 2: He's too ruthless to settle for his prisoner.
Bodyguard 1: Yet she's more beautiful than any other girl he has been with.
Bodyguard 2: La verdad....esta con el por su dinero? (She's after his money?)
Bodyguard 1: Who knows. For her wellbeing i hope not.
Bodyguard 2: She's too young to be involved with people like us. She's too young to know the trouble she can get into.
Bodyguard 1: He's old enough to play the cards in his favor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Della: What was that? Kaden?? Kaden, is that you?
Assassin: Not a sound, pretty girl.
