He puts his hand against his eye where I scraped it with the ring.
I stand up to get to the door but right before I can leave through the entryway, I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pull me back.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" I scream as Dante throws me against the wall.
Once I'm against the wall Dante is in front of me wiping the blood off his face where I scraped him.
"You’re mine, Aria. Always was and always will be. Nothing will ever change that so stop trying to convince yourself that you're getting out. You are never fucking leaving," Dante says before leaving the room and slamming the door shut behind him.
Now I am left alone in the dark cell crying until I can't anymore.

"Doyou have the engagement ring that you gave Aria?" Leo asks, looking at me.
Right now, we are in my office. I'm on the computer sending emails back and forth with the French while also looking at some of the photos from the explosion that happened in the building. Leo is across from me sitting on one of the other chairs. He is looking at multiple locations of where Aria could be.
For the past day, I have been relaxing and trying to calm my mind down.
Layna ended up taking care of Thalia for the day because she saw how much I did need help. Leo took care of all of the work in the office. I was just locked in my room for the day and Layna eventually came in and gave me Thalia.
I wanted to be around Thalia because every time I am around her, I feel closer to Aria even though she is miles away.
So, Thalia slept in my and Aria’s room the other night and I woke up to her making noises.
She is in her room now, sleeping so that I can get some work done and figure out where Aria is. Dante has been good with keeping this location discrete.
"No, why?" I look away from my computer and look at Leo.
"Because I think I just got something."
I get up from my chair and walk towards Leo to see what he is looking at on the computer. I see a map of the world with a red dot located in Greece.
"What is this?"
"I just got this signal showing this location. The signal name is Aria's Ring. Did you put a tracker in the ring?" Leo looks up at me while I am still looking at the red dot.
"Yea but when I checked it a few days ago nothing showed up. In order for me to be able to look at the location, Aria would have to activate it."
"How do you activate it?"
"You have to take off the diamond," I tell Leo. "Get the location of the red dot and email it to me." I stand to my full height at the same time I hear the door open.
I turn around and see Alex.
He has been annoying as ever this past week. He keeps blaming this whole situation on me and I know for a fact he wants to beat my ass but like hell, I'll ever let him.
"Ace," Alex states as he walks up to me.
I turn around to look at Leo. "Don't tell anyone about what you just found out." Leo starts packing his stuff and he nods his head at me and then leaves. Once Leo is gone, I walk back to my chair. "What do you want Alex?"
"Why aren't you involving me in finding Aria?" Alex asks as he walks closer to my desk.
"Because if I involve you, you could screw things up for me. I don't need your help anyway," I state while leaning back in my chair.
"Yea because you could totally handle anything that comes at you when you have a fucking sling on your arm right?"
"Alex, if you came here to insult me or to fuck with me then leave. I have shit to do."
