a gentle heart

...and none would bite her Eliana Caterina Sforza | 21 Crowned Princess of Italy if we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?

  Bailey glanced upwards from her view of the cement floor and met the eyes of the woman. “Yeah.” she spoke softly, “Well, I will be.” she told her and she would, Bailey would always be alright in the end, it was just a headache.

Elia didn't buy it at all but her next word simply confirmed her suspicions. Offering her a small smile, she nodded towards her and asked, "Well, is there anything you need perhaps?"

Chloe looked around and nodded, feeling her bed lightly. “That’s true, Miss. I’m glad we get beds this time. Does it look nice upstairs?”

"Nice would be an understatement-- it's certainly grand. Would you like to go out for awhile?"

  “–God.” her hand raised to her head as she struggled to pull herself up from the cot. Where was she? How far from home was she? How to get out? All these questions made her head hurt. Pounding headache, throbbing in her ears.

Elia was on her way back to leave the basements when she heard a faint voice coming from one of the cell. Looking for the source, she found a girl holding her head and the princess approached her carefully. "Hey there-- are you alright?"

“Man, those drugs are just as bad the second time…my head hurts. But this place looks nicer, at least?”

"It's certainly an improvement from the last place, especially your cells. It's nice to know that they have finally done something about that."

“Yeah, and that wasn’t my best bottle of wine that I had.” She half-teased her, because that was actually one of her oldest bottles. 

"It's one of your best bottles, isn't it? Hmm-- how about you can come to my suite and pick anything you like? I have a fine vintage collection there."

Austen laughed at that. “Vixen? Not quite. All I’m saying is you’re attractive. I was just trying to be cute and use slang to do so, but if I may? Sounds to me you need a better escort. Live outside that little bubble for a while. Who knows? You might enjoy yourself.”

"Sorry if I ruined your attempt at being cute," Elia replied with a sheepish look on her face. "I do know how to have fun." She didn't mean to sound defensive but when everyone was trying to tell her to live a little, it was starting to get under her skin.

“Got any of that left to share?” he asked her playfully as he stepped in and closed the door behind him. “The guards like to toss us around for their own enjoyment it seems.”

"Oh definitely!" she exclaimed before spinning around to make her way to the liquor cabinet, swaying a little before she reached it. Motioning him over, she pointed towards the cabinet. "Just take your pick."

“As you wish, my love.” Downing the shot she had offer, shuddering slightly at the burning sensation down her throat. Pushing up from her seat once she was done. “Finished. Let’s go.”

Linking their arms together to steady the woman, she smiled at her brightly before making their way towards the elevator. "What would you like to do then? We can watch some movies or enjoy a jacuzzi."

viktor-kaiser:

“Wife.” He corrected her. Even though he knew how to be flexible with the right athmosphere and the good amount of alcohol, women were a strong preference for Viktor. “I’m disappointed you don’t know. After so many years.” He shook his head at her, in a playful manner. The elevator was quick to arrive, holding Eliana by her arm, Viktor took over the lead as he exited and stood in the massive hallway. “So. Which way now?”

Slapping him playfully on his shoulder, which caused her to tumble a little backwards, she refuted, "Hey-- I do know. I was just teasing you. Besides, aren't you too old to get married now?" Obviously, she was only kidding but alcohol has an effect on her that makes her loosen up a little. Once they exited the lift, she felt like the ground she was standing on was spinning. Squinting her eyes, she looked from side to side and sighed, "Uhm-- it's on the right side, I think."

“I thought you would know and tell me,” he sighed with a shake of his head. “Why would you want to let me out?”

"Sounds like you thought wrong then," she chimed in with a shrug. Even if she knew the exact location, she doubted they would be allowed to reveal it. "To give you some time out of your cell?"

Does your half brother feel the same about you

"It's not exactly out in the open so how would I know?"

[eliaborgia-blog]

What slaves are you most attracted to?

"I find myself being attracted, if that ever happens, to those who can stand their ground and express themselves."

[eliaborgia-blog]

What qualities would make you consider claiming a slave?

"It's not the qualities I am looking for but more of a certain connection."

[eliaborgia-blog]

Why'd you come to the mansion?

"Because my fidanzato cheated on me with my best friend so I needed to get away from everything for awhile. Like my growing feelings for my half-brother."

1. He stops texting you back even though he used to text you first. 2. He’s busy with life and living and excuses. 3. When he kisses you it feels like he’s thinking too hard, as though he can’t wait to get away. When he stops, he turns and doesn’t look back. 4. When you ask him a question the replies are short, or not at all. When you’re silent he doesn’t make the effort to speak. 5. I love yous are met with awkwardness. I love yous are met with, ‘why?’ I love yous are met with, ‘you shouldn’t.’ 6. He sighs. A lot. 7. He looks angry on some days and sad on others. Either way you don’t know what to do. Hearing your voice used to calm him down, now it seems to have the opposite effect. 8. He dismisses your fears as ridiculous. You tell him that you’re worried but he just rolls his eyes. You think he’s being insensitive but it’s because he doesn’t want to lie. You’re looking for comfort where there’s none. 9. You make him unhappy so you give him space. The gap keeps getting larger and larger and you feel him slipping away. Do you hold on, or let go, regret it for the rest of your life? 10. He tells you that things change and he’s changed his mind. He tells you that it wasn’t your fault but somehow that doesn’t make things right. He tells you a lot of things but you stopped listening at ‘I don’t love you anymore.’ He tells you he doesn’t want to hurt you but all you feel is pain.
