🔥Chapter 5 Carlos🔥
It was close to Valentine's day, and Maria was still keeping sickly. I had her admitted to the hospital last night due to dehydration."Twenty pounds...." Dr.Williams repeated. "She weighed 125 pounds back in July. Her weight in October was 123 and that was with appendicitis...She's 103 pounds, now...She's lost alot of weight, Mr.Romaro."
"So what do we do?" I ask.
"Well, we have already started her on vitamin water, due to her levels being down...and after not being able to keep down her broth from lunchtime...I feel that your wife is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum or HCG....we may need to do a nasogastric tube for a while.""Whatever you need to do." I told her, as Sebastian entered the room. "This is Sebastian... Our family doctor."Dr.Williams shook his hand. "Yes...we talked earlier... I understand your concern about keeping your wife in the hospital for a long
🔥Carlos's POV 👑I couldn't sleep, so I decided to watch tv for a while. About half way through an episode of "Law and Order", Maria started to stir in her sleep. She started pulling at her tubing and crying. I quickly grabbed her hands. "Maria". I said as I stood up. She opened her eyes, looking up at me. "Your okay...your just having a dream."She sat up, looking around. "Where is he? Where did he go?"I shook my head, still holding her hands. "Baby, whoever he is , he's gone. He can't hurt you anymore.""Because I killed him?" She asked...She's dreaming if her father."Yes, Maria...you killed him...he's gone."She put her head down. "Your still angry with me...aren't you?""Maria", I said taking her chin into my hands, and wiping tears from her cheeks with my thumbs. "You proved yourself, strong....I was angry, y
🔥 Carlos's POV🔥A few days later, Maria was feeling better, and she was able to be rid of her tubes on observation. She desperately needed out of the house, so I took her to the Sapphire with me, so she could teach Madre how to use the hoops and fabric. I had a general idea of what they were doing after one of our crew men hung them. I was watching Maria, and couldn't believe her talent. Just getting her off the tubes, gave her a bost ofmuch needed energy, despite her arms covered in bruises. She was swinging from a hoop, hanging upside down, flipping up, going to her feet and swinging. She was amazing to watch.After about 45 minutes though, I made her get down. "I don't want you wearing yourself out...Go get a drink, a shower, and come rest a while in my office....I'll take you to lunch after while, if you feel like eating."I was sitting in my office checking the books, when Mad
👑Maria's POV👑"Maria, Baby....there's something I need to ask you." Carlos says to me, as we head down the road in his new truck, that he bought for himself as a Valentine. I look at him and then look at his knuckles as they turn white on the steering wheel. " I need you to question a prisoner....torture, but not draw blood.""Fuck, Carlos...I thought you were kidding the other night!"Carlos speeds through a yellow light as it turns red. "Its Nikki...""Fuck, No!...I'm not torturing her...I won't take punishment again, Carlos...I can't."Carlos put his hand on my knee and pats me. "He can't touch you, Maria....she's a hostage. Its war rules, and besides....he hasn't been in Jersey in weeks....that's why your going to talk to her. She knows where in Canada he is and who he's working with..... Nikki went on hunger strike as well....any suggestions?""Sleep deprivation, water
🔥Carlos's POV🔥"Fratelli... Glad you answered....I need an explanation regarding Maria's birth certificate."Fratelli laughs. "I guess the family secret is out.""So, you are Maria's biological father?""Guilty...Francesca and I were seeing each other when my father announced the engagement... My brother was to marry the woman I loved....Did it out of the pure evil that he was....Shortly after the engagement was announced, Francesca found herself with child.""Lucas?" I asked."Yes...but to protect the family name, the wedding was rushed, and Sergio was to Father my son....Francesca and I continued our romance with Sergio's blessing... He slept around quite a bit, himself....Francesca found herself pregnant again, and once more, Sergio would Father that child...Maria.""And what about Alissia and Camilla?""They are Sergio's. Francesca and I ended our relations
👑Maria's POV👑The next day, Marco took me to visit Nikki, again. Sebastian approved my method of funnel feeding. When we arrived down to the basement, Nikki was strapped to a chair, unconscious...or at least pretending to be. She was in her panties, and her chest was wrapped in gauze. "Why isn't she dressed?" I demanded a new guy I had never seen before."Doc left her that way..." He answered."Bullshit!" I yelled. "I know for a fact that he wouldn't." I turn and look at Marco. He rubs his hands together and gave me his twisted smile. I walk over to Nikki who is passed out. I clap my hands in front of her face. "Wake up, Bitch!" She opens her eyes and looks at me. " Did he touch you?"Marco takes a hold of the guy's neck and pulls him to Nikki. "Did this new guy touch you in any way, Nikki?" Nikki nodded and starts to cry. " What do you w
👑Maria's POV👑Two weeks had past, and I had only visited Nikki a few times. Carlos had decided not to let me torture her until her shoulder was healing, due to a small infection. Today was the day, though...He wanted her honesty....He wanted her to tell him where her brother was and who he was working for. Carlos was quiet on the drive to the warehouse."Carlos...what are you going to do to Nikki after she tells you the truth?" Carlos looked at me, but didn't answer. " Are you going to kill her...how long do you plan on keeping her?" My conscious was starting to get the better of me.Carlos parks the car and turns to me. "Why so many questions today, Maria? What does it matter what I do with her?" He seemed to be a bit on edge today, definitely grumpy and not himself."I just want to know, is all." These last two weeks, I've been nicer to Nikki. I did make her clean the upstai
👑 Maria's POV👑I had just finished my performance, when Carlos called me to the stage. "Can we guess the girl, who is not here to sell her virginity? Sorry boys...its already been stolen." He teases and kisses my cheek as I blush, while the men whistle. I leave the stage and go to the dressing room and change into a blue sequin gown to have dinner in. The bouncer, Aaron escorts me to the table where Carlos and Marco are already seated. We are served a lobster bisque soup and caeser salad. I look around the room, trying to study all of the men. "Don't be so nervous, Maria... You're not up for grabs." Marco teases. Carlos kicks him under the table."This event makes me sick." I whisper. Carlos ignores me as the auction begins. I swear if Marco bids I'm killing him. I even threatened him this morning. Each girl is numbered. They walk out on stage
👑Maria's POV👑Rocco and I were in the car, on our way to my appointment, when Rocco shouted at me to get down. That's when the gunshots fired. "I can help!" I shouted. " Give me a gun!"Rocco reached for the glove box, when the car slammed into a tree. "Stay Down." Rocco whispered." Are you shot?" I asked. Rocco didn't answer. "Rocco?"The door to my side swung open. "Well Hello." A man grabbed my arm, jerking me out of the car. I tried fighting him, but the guy was really strong. I continued to fight him as I heard gunshots from the car. He pushed me into a van, where I was handcuffed and blinded. " We're going on a little trip, but right now its sleepy by time." I felt a needle go into my arm, and then felt a dark heaviness take over my eyes.I woke up strapped in a chair. I was sitting in a dining room, surrounded by Junior, Anna, Tiffany, Ni
🔥Carlos's POV🔥Maria wouldn't go to sleep. She tossed and turned for hours. She had already fed Everleigh twice and changed her. After tossing once again, I took a look at my phone to see what time it is. "Maria...its 5am...Aren't you just a little bit tired?"Maria rolled over and faced me. "I can't sleep...I just keep thinking about my dream...I mean...bits and pieces keep coming back to me.""What do you mean in bits and pieced?". I asked her.Maria sat up,looking down at me. " I think...I ummm... May have been drugged off and on....I know I slept alot...and I always got tired after eating...and I never knew what day it was...sometimes I didn't even realize I had grown so much....I don't know, Carlos...."I sat up, and took Maria in my arms, kissing the top of her head. If Junior had been drugging Maria like she assumes, then that could explain why she thought she was only gone for weeks instead of months.I turn
🔥Carlos's POV🔥I had Junior hanging by his wrists, toes barely touching the ground. I wanted him to be in pain as I ripped the flesh from his back like he had done my wife. Fratelli stood back and watched my horror show. I had told Junior he would get ten times the pain that he inflicted upon Maria and much more...that was sixty lashes. He passed out seven times and each time he passed out I would apply salt to his wounds.Marco came over and grabbed the whip from my hand. My body was aching from all the muscle I put in to each blow. "Don't you think he's had enough?". He asked." It will never be enough for what he did to Maria.". I spit.Fratelli took me by the arm. "He's had enough, Carlos...You need to get home to your wife...Go and get cleaned up...I'll finish here."I turn to him and spit on the ground beside him. "I want him kept alive...He's got more coming, tomorrow."Flashback:M
👑Maria's POV👑"Maria...Maria...." Carlos called. "Where did you go?". He asked.I shook my head..." Sorry..." I turn to my sister. "I'm tired, Camilla."Carlos nods and tells Marco to take Camilla home. "Your sister needs her rest. We should be home in time for lunch, tomorrow.". Carlos tells her, as I hug her and Marco goodbye." You want to tell me what happened, Baby? Did you remember something? " Carlos asked, sitting beside me, taking my hand."I shrugged. "I dyed Easter eggs this year with Nikki and Tiffany up until Junior passed by the room we were in and told them to get me back into the hole...I wasn't a house pet...and once again, I should have never been born....I don't know why he said it that time because Tiffany was with me.""You colored Easter eggs?". Carlos asked." I did alot of things, Carlos...sometimes I played games or wor
👑Maria's POV👑I didn't even realize I was crying, until Carlos touched my cheek, wiping my tears away. "Its okay, Maria...You don't have to talk right now, if you don't want to...you don't need to stress...you should be resting and recovering....you have stitches.""I know that I have stitches, Carlos...I pushed out a baby through what felt like a pea...it fucking hurt....I thought I was going to die...it still fucking hurts, and I'm having the worst menstrual cramps of my life....I still feel like I'm laboring.""I'm sorry, you had to go through that alone, Maria...I'll have the doctor come examine you again...Do you still want pancakes?""No...just a piece of cake and some ice cream will be fine...and can someone bring me my baby? I've barely gotten to hold her."Carlos smiled. "You are going to be the best mother ever, Maria."I smiled, but started to feel a bit odd. "I hope so...Carlos,I'm starting to feel all tingly.
👑Maria's POV👑I fell asleep shortly after the baby did. When I woke up, the room was empty. No baby, no Carlos, no guard, or nurse, no Madre, no one. I pulled myself up, made it across the room, out the door, and to the stairs. I looked down into the living room, and didn't see anyone. I could hear the sound of voices and laughter, but couldn't see anyone. "Fuck!" I gripped a hold of the banister, cussing up a storm. When I got half way down, I stopped, remembering the time I fell. I looked down at the landing and could see Rocco's face. I slid down to my bottom, gripping ahold of the wooden planks of the banister. My tears began flowing. Rocco was gone. He tried keeping me safe, but I couldn't get to the gun fast enough, nor fight off my attacker.Marco came around the corner and saw me. "Maria, are you hurt?" He asked coming up the stairs quickly."I'm fine....just
🔥Carlos's POV🔥Maria slept through the night, thankfully. She needed her rest. She woke up, crying in pain though. " What hurts sweetheart? " I ask her."My fucking crotch...and I need to pee." She answers.I can't help, but smirk at her using the word crotch. She is not amused. "I'm afraid there's not much that can be done about that except for some ibuprofen...." Maybe a warm shower?"Maria looks over at Everleigh. "I don't want to leave her side, Carlos.""Baby, Madre is here, watching her...she will be fine. We are just in the next room."Maria nods. "Will you help me?""Of course...I'm not going to let you shower alone." I helped Maria up, and walked her into the bathroom. I hated seeing her wince in pain as she walked. I helped her sit down on the toilet, thinking she would surely tell me to " fuck off", but instead she sq
