First Love

ARIA POV

I walked down the staircase, searching for them. My legs wobbled in fear that what if Damiano came to know about all this.

Hush Aria!

Looking around his grand mansion, I felt nothing but awe. His home was beautifully designed but with all the walls painted in black colour.

Ew.

What else could I expect from him?

Dark Demon!

Actually mental Demon!

I started searching for Rico and Alex and after fifteen good minutes, I saw them. I quickly rush to them.

They both looked at me and then boom burst out laughing.

Are they laughing at my face? Am I that bad looking? I wondered. My eyes filled with tears and I was about to turn back when I realized that their eyes were fixed at my collar.

Oh!

I composed myself and sat next to them on the couch.

“My doll. Damnit.” Rico laughed, reading the collar on my neck.

Laugh as much as you can. I rolled my eyes.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Looks like a little girl’s crush got crushed.” Alex joined him.

Idiots.

“I need your help,” I said in a blank tone.

“We can’t help you to escape. It’s too late now.” Rick said, seriously.

I frowned.

“Damiano will kill us,” Alex added.

I nodded. Maybe they’re right. How can I be so selfish to think only about me? If they help me in escaping from here, they might get killed by Damiano.

” Okay then please tell me what’s his obsession with dolls?” I asked.

“We don’t know,” replied Alex.

“You don’t know or you don’t want me to know?” I challenged.

They both looked at each other before Alex exhaled a breath. “His desires are tainted.”

“And you’re too pure to be in his world but sorry we can’t help you now.” added. Rico.

Okay.

“At least tell me what’s wrong with him? I am begging you.”

They both once again look that each other as if they were talking through their eyes mentally debating if they should tell me or not?

Why it is so difficult to know about him?

I know my crush got crushed as he said but still I want to know about him I want to know about the reason behind his unstable mental state. I know I am a teenager but still, I can understand things I am not dumb at least. Why can’t riko and Alex tell me about him? I know they must be thinking I am dumb but I am not. I may not be beautiful but at least I have a brain. A brain without beauty can also be accepted in society. I have read enough of fairy tales, they also beautiful female characters but in real life, its brain that is appreciated. Beautiful without a brain could never be beautiful.

“We don’t know much but he has the obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder”. Said Rico.

Huh?

Ok. Now I agree that I am dumb.

I am a girl without beauty and without a brain. I am f****** stupid.

“What?” I asked.

“that’s why we said that you are the teenager with no knowledge of anything.” Alex laughed.

“It’s not true I know many things.”

“Like?”

“I know that with one word I can get both of you killed.”

“Ah, feisty.” Rico smiled.

They both then explained it to that what is OCD and PTSD. I understand that he has OCD but PTSD?

Why PTSD? I asked.

They both shrugged their shoulders and said that they don’t know. Damiano never told them.

Although I didn’t believe them something in me told that maybe they’re not lying.

“But we can show you something interesting,” Rico smirked.

I hate him!

“Definitely,” Alex said.

“There is this one room in the house, I guess you haven’t noticed. It remains locked up, if you want then we could give you a little detour.” Rico smirked, again.

My curiosity reached its peak. Is it something related to Damiano? What it could be?

Maybe he had locked up the dead body of girls like me? Maybe my fate was also the same.

Oh hush, Aria. Just shut up. Don’t overthink.

“Sure,” I said.

“But before that let me warn you. Don’t ever speak a word about it to Damiano otherwise, he’ll take no time to kill all of us. You don’t know him, we do.” Alex warned.

Off course. I know that already. I am never going to dig my own grave.

Everybody knows that he’s twisted and I am in no mood to play with fire. His desires may be tainted but my desires are simple, I need to live an uncomplicated life. But with him, I would never be able to do so.

“Let that sink in that the thing you love most is the thing that scares you most. No matter what happens never fall for him. Get over your stupid crush as soon as possible.” Rico blurted in a serious tone.

“And now we’re going to show you the deeper reality of Damiano. You may get scared but trust me it’s important for you to know.” Alex said.

Why are they scaring me? Which reality are they talking about? I know that he’s crazy but to which extent?

I blinked.

“Take me there.”

“Ah. Little Aria is acting all brave, huh?” Rico joked but this time no one laughed.

They both stood up and silently, I followed them. We went Infront of the room which was locked from outside.

Alex took out the key from his pocket and looked at me for one last time asking, “Are you ready?”

I nodded.

He unlocked the door and asked me to go inside. My mouth started running dry but after collecting enough guts, I stepped inside.

Rico turned on the lights and that’s when my breath caught up in my throat. I stilled.

Wh… how… What the hell is this room?
