CATALINA

My head throbbed.

Hands still tied behind my back. Ankles still bound.

Duct tape burning my mouth to prevent me from saying more annoying words to Pablo.

I began thinking of ways to die…

Starvation…

Dehydration…

Cutting my wrists and bleeding to death…

Anything to kill Pablo's silly dream of having me.

He was across the room, plotting something with his right hand man.

I tested the ropes again. Nothing. Just the cruel friction cutting into my skin. My shoulders ached. My jaw ached from the slap. My heart ached worst of all.

I couldn't help but think about Miguel. Did he have a good reason for leaving me here? It seemed odd that Miguel would abandon me. Maybe he had a plan….he may have lied to me about his marital status but did he lie about his feelings for me? We were finally getting closer or was that a lie too?

“Gather the guys outside, we're leaving now,” I heard Pablo say.

I began to protest with muffled screams…it was useless, I was powerless against these highly dang

    MIGUEL“She ran away and got into a cab”.When my guys told me this over the phone, I began to feel worried.I sat in my office, tapping a pen against my desk, pretending to focus on some meaningless file. But in truth, I couldn't concentrate…something felt off. If she ventured on some solo outing, she should have returned or called.I checked my phone again. No calls. No messages. I began getting too uneasy, her stubborn attitude was becoming too much, she was so eager to work so why did she leave and where was she headed to?Without thinking, I pulled out the small tracking app installed on my phone. The tracker. I hated that I had to do it, hated that it made me feel like I was betraying her trust. But with Pablo on the lookout for her, it seemed like a necessary thing to do. I had secretly planted a tracker on Catalina after her first attempt to escape from me and I didn't think I'd get to use it this way.The little blinking dot on the screen was moving fast…out of the city and i

  • Be My Slave: A Mafia Romance    Chapter 47

    CATALINA I grew up in a very simple home, we were contended with whatever we had. We didn't have money but we had love and it was okay for us. My father worked at a factory and my mother used to teach in a school. I was happy, I admit there were times I wished I was like those rich kids my mom used to teach. She took me to her private home lessons sometimes so I got an idea of how the rich lived, so exotic and without any worries of the future. Though I got jealous sometimes, I liked the family I was born into and if it turned out that they didn't have enough money to provide everything I needed, I would only endure it and work hard to give my parents a better life in my own time.Then one day, my dad lost his job at the factory. Apparently, it went bankrupt and had to let go of all their workers. I was still young then but I remembered how sad and heartbroken my dad was the first few weeks of being at home and unemployed, he literally became a shadow of himself. Soon after, my mot

    CATALINA “Okay.”I paused, shocked that he would agree to my request.“Okay?”He nodded. “I told you I'll do anything to fix this. If this is what you want then I'll oblige, even if it hurts me deeply to let you go.”“You mean I'm…I'm free to go?”“I'll end the contract myself so you don't have to pay any fees. You can leave whenever you want, but I only have one request.”I swallowed. “What request?”“That you let me get you a place and assign a few people to guard you.”“What's the difference? I'm not really free from you then.”“The difference is that these people will only work for you and you don't need to answer to me. I'm doing this because I don't trust Pablo to leave you alone. I won't be around you unless you say otherwise.”I looked at him, trying to find the lie, the catch, anything that hinted this was just another manipulation. But for the first time, Miguel looked... defeated. Not the cold, calculating man I’d grown used to, but a man standing on the edge, letting go

    Catalina I covered my ears as the banging on the door became louder, I prayed they wouldn't break down my door and barge in. This has been my life since my father died, debt collectors always chasing after me. If I'm unlucky, they see me outside and chase me all around town but if I'm lucky, like today, they come when I'm inside and bang on my door till they get tired and leave. They left after a while and I crawled out from under my bed where I hid. I looked around the house my father left for me, I had sold everything valuable and I still hadn't paid even a quarter of the debt we owed. All my part time jobs barely raised enough money to even feed myself. I fell on my knees and let the tears flow from my eyes, this wasn't the life I wanted to live. If I had the choice, I wouldn't choose this life for myself. My phone rang and I recognized the caller.“Hello, Catalina speaking.”“Hello Miss Catalina, I'm calling in respect for the job you applied for at our club. Congr

    Miguel She opened the car door, jumped out of the car and slammed it shut. My lips curled upward, I had to have her. She did all sorts of things to my body just by dancing. I haven't felt so much excitement in my body for years. I had to have her.“Get me all the information you can find on Catalina Gomez immediately!” I ordered my driver, who was also my right hand man.“Yes sir!” I got home and tried to sleep. It had been a long day. One of the gambling houses had an issue that I had to go and sort out personally. This is why I hated hiring rookies to manage my gambling houses, someone was definitely going to lose their job first thing tomorrow morning.I was so tired from today's work and I decided to go to one of my clubs and unwind a little. In fact, I was so happy I went there today, I rarely go to my own clubs, I liked to go elsewhere and observe the competition. I wouldn't have ever met Catalina if I didn't decide to go to my club today, such rare beauty! The way sh

    Catalina I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I could only think this as I signed the papers. He knew my weakness and used it against me. Clearly he knows everything about me and I don't even know his name.“At least be kind enough to tell me your name. Or should I just call you Master?”A deep chuckle rumbled from his throat. So the beast could actually laugh.“Miguel Alejandro.”The name sounded familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it so I just brushed the thought aside.“Why, Miguel?”“Why what?”“Why me? Why do you even want a slave?”“You interest me that's why. You do things to me just by giving me that death stare.” He let out a sigh. “I want a slave because you're bound by a contract, you will do anything I say. Relationships are meaningless to me, you have more freedom in a relationship and I don't want that. As a slave, you have no choice.”“Psychopath!”“This psychopath is actually saving you.”He was right, the money he was giving me would really go a long way in

    Catalina I froze. I immediately regretted coming here. I should have just stayed in my room. Clearly I wasn't ready for slave duties. “You should see the look on your face.” Miguel laughed at me. “Huh?”“You look horrified.”Who wouldn't be? I was just told to strip. “I'm tired Catalina. Go to your room and stop whining about how vile and evil I am.”I turned immediately and hurried out of the room. I didn't want to be here if he changed his mind. Once I was in my room, I locked my door and laid on my bed. Miguel might have been joking tonight, but the truth was that I was now his and he had the right to do all sorts of things to my body. I woke up early to start preparations for breakfast. I was going to go all in and make a full English breakfast for Miguel. I needed to make a good first impression, maybe he might take it easy on me.10am and Miguel hadn't come down for breakfast. I was very hungry and got tired of waiting. I went to Gabriella and asked her if he usuall

    Catalina I've spent days thinking of an escape plan but so far I've come up with nothing. The house was guarded, wherever I went there was at least one man with a gun. I was only allowed to go out if there was a group of bodyguards with me. It was frustrating but I continued with my activities normally to avoid raising suspicions. I cooked breakfast knowing fully well he wouldn't eat, I danced for him whenever he wanted, I went out with my security without complaining. Trust….I was building trust so that when the time came for me to escape it would be so easy. My problem was Gabriella. She treated me like an outcast. She only talked to me when it was very necessary or when I asked her a question. I was lonely in that mansion and I thought we could become friends. Friends my foot. Gabriella would be the first to report me to Miguel if she has even the slightest idea of my escape plan.Miguel. He seemed more occupied these days. Maybe a serious issue in the mafia world. I didn

    CATALINA The room was dark, little rays of light streamed in through the windows. I guessed this even though my eyes were covered with a blindfold. It smelled like mold and dust and gasoline. This should be in an abandoned warehouse.I tried to move and the ropes that were used to tie me up bit into my wrists, I had to stay still to avoid the pain shooting up my arms. My heart hammered so loudly in my chest. How long has it been now? An hour? Two hours?I didn't know, I couldn't tell.Who was responsible for my kidnap?Pablo?Olivia?I felt another pain but it wasn't because of the ropes that bound my hands together, it was due to the feeling of betrayal that tugged at my heart. Miguel had a wife all this time. Why wasn't she with him and why did he do all those things with me if he had a wife?I heard a door creak somewhere behind me and turned instinctively, though I couldn't see a thing. Then I heard footsteps getting closer to me."You awake, princess?" a rough voice sneered.

    CATALINA Today's my first day. As a boss. And guess what? I didn't even know the kind of company that was given to me. And that's why I was in Miguel's room instead of getting ready for work.“A construction company?” I asked in bewilderment.“Yes, it's the best fit for you amongst the rest.” He sighed. “You haven't told me why you're in such a hurry to start?”“Forget that. What are the other options I have?”“There's an art gallery, a fishing company, casinos, private security firms and I have people running all these places for me.”I disliked the idea of running those kinds of places. “Well, if I'm going to run the construction company it has to go clean.”“Learn how to run it first, we'll talk about the rest later.”I knew it'd be hard to convince him, but I would eventually. “Now, let me go and get ready.”“Remember,” he stopped me. “Two bodyguards with you at all times, two at the entrance.”“Noted.” No arguments whatsoever, I didn't care if they were ten… I was doing somethi

    MIGUEL Catalina didn't understand me. I keep telling her no for her own good. What was I thinking when I added giving her a company as a clause in the contract? The companies I have were just coverups for more illicit and illegal activities. I don't want her to get involved in something like that. What if it scares her away? And Pablo, he was hunting for her like a crazy dog.She's been locked up in her room for hours now and I didn't know if going to talk to her was the best thing to do. I looked at the files that had been on my desk since morning. The best thing would be to destroy them right? I've had it for a while now and always thought of what to do with them. Should I show her? She deserves to know right? I kept asking myself over the months I've known her, and now that we've gotten closer, I'm even more scared to tell her the truth I've been keeping from her. Maybe later, but for now these files have to be destroyed. I'd burn them later, for now I just threw them in the

    CATALINA Things didn't change. Miguel didn't treat me differently as we got home, though it was still too early for me to tell. I just had this nagging feeling that it was too good to be true.From the way he held me as I slept, to the way he laughed freely while we snuck into the kitchen and foraged for food. I'd never seen him so carefree and relaxed.Once we got into the kitchen, Miguel went straight for the fridge while I tiptoed around, pretending to be a spy. It was kind of funny. The owner of the house was scared of being caught in his kitchen eating the food he provided.He pulled out leftover sandwiches and some kind of pasta dish that smelled way too good to resist.He placed everything on the counter and turned to me. “Anything else?”I grinned. “Dessert. There has to be dessert.”Miguel nodded and opened the fridge, bringing out a slice of chocolate cake. My eyes lit up. “Good one!”We sat at the dining table and quietly ate all the food. "Full?" he had asked when I

    MIGUEL The minute Catalina gave me the plate number, I handed it over to Andrés."Run it. I want to know everything, the owner, address, who they work for.""On it boss," Andrés said, already pulling out his phone as he walked away.I turned back to Catalina. She looked exhausted, maybe still a little shaken by everything she'd learned today. I hated that she had to go through all this because of me. I should have just let her live her life. "You should rest," I said, reaching for her hand. "I'll handle this."She hesitated. "Whatever you do, be careful."A small smile tugged at my lips. She was actually worried about me. "I’m not alone, Catalina. I have an army…literally." I squeezed her hand gently. "You, on the other hand, need sleep. You need to rest."She hesitated for a bit, then nodded in agreement."Good girl," I said, and leaned in to press a kiss on her forehead.Gabriella cleared her throat loudly. "I see some things have changed," she muttered under her breath, walking
