do in my own fuckin’ house. Get out of here before I call the police.”
    As much as she wanted to grab her gun and shoot him, Caprice dug in her pocket for her cell phone instead. She knew she still had to play her role. An innocent college student would definitely call 911 if there as an intruder in her home.
    “You need to leave, Aries.”
    Aries stood up slowly. His muscular 6’7” frame inched towards Caprice. She actually felt a little apprehensive. Taking a few steps back, she reached blindly behind her for her purse.
    “I said sit down!” Aries yelled and slapped the phone out of her hand. He grabbed the front of her shirt and threw her on the couch.
    Caprice nearly panicked when she caught a glance of the crazed look in his eyes. She had no idea what was wrong with Aries, or what he planned on doing to her.
    “I’ve been texting you for two days. Where have you been?” he snapped.
    “Visiting some friends,” she replied. “Why? We don’t have to talk every day.”
    “Visiting friends? Yeah right,” Aries’ laugh was sinister. Caprice shuddered.
    This wasn’t the situation she expected and honestly, she had no idea what to do. He wasn’t going to let her get to her phone, so she had to stall him. Rocco would be at her apartment soon. If she couldn’t get to get purse, she’d just have to pray that Rocco would come to her rescue.
    Aries walked over to the couch and sat down. Caprice scrambled to the other end, trying to get as far away from him as possible.
    “What is wrong with you?” she asked. “You’re scaring me.”
    “You wanna tell me how you know Nico Bonatelli?”
    Ice cold blood rushed through Caprice’s veins. She closed her eyes briefly and tried to calm herself. This was bad…very bad.
    “Who?”   The word actually came out calmer than she felt.
    “Don’t play with me, bitch!   You know what the fuck I’m talking about!”
    Aries pulled his steel .45mm out his pants and sat it on his lap. Caprice eyed the gun and kept her eyes on it. The longer they sat there in silence, the angrier she became. There was no way in hell that Aries stayed breathing after this. No matter what he did to her, there was no way Nico or Rocco would let him live.
    No. Fucking. Way.
    “Nico Bonatelli?” she said with raised eyebrows. “Doesn’t ring a bell, but then again, I know a lot of guys. You broke into my apartment over some guy that I may or may not know? Jealous much?”
    “You’re one of their hoes, aren’t you? You supposed to be spyin ’ on me or something?”
    “I still don’t have a clue what you’re talking about,” Caprice replied. “Leave now and we’ll just chalk this up to whatever you smoked or mollie you popped before you came here.”
    Aries lunged for Caprice and grabbed her neck. He threw her to the ground and began choking her. Caprice grabbed at his hands and flailed her legs trying to get him off of her. It was no use. He was too strong.
    “Aries!   Stop!”   Keisha’s voice startled both Aries and Caprice.
    For once, Caprice was glad to see the girl, especially when Aries relaxed his grip around her neck. She coughed and tried to control her breathing. She wiggled away from Aries, but he looked at her and grinned.
    “Didn’t I tell you we would take care of this bitch?” Keisha said to her cousin. “And she ain’t one of their hoes. Nico is her brother. Now get out of here and let us handle this. It’s our job, remember?”
    As Caprice’s vision came into focus, she saw three other girls crowding the doorway of her apartment. Two of them were holding baseball bats.
    “I knew you were up to something shady. You heard me talking about my cousin. Then all of a sudden you want to hang with me,” Keisha said to Caprice. “We’ve had some of the same classes together this whole time, but you waited almost four years to talk to me. Dumb bitch. Stuck up bitches like you don’t ever want to be friends with hood chicks like me unless they want
