Amaya woke up with a start. Opening her eyes slowly,she took in her environment. The place smelt different and looked different as well.
Where was she? she wondered. Memories came rushing back in an instant and she immediately sat up,only to be hit by a terrible headache. She groaned in pain,while holding her head. The whole place seemed to swirl and everything was doubled. The headache subsided and she slowly tried to sit,but the sharp pain she felt in her middle,sent her lying down again. Everything became still,and in that moment hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She remembered everything,how the Don had humiliated them, killed her family before her very eyes and had taken her captive. FLASHBACK "And I'm talking about you, Amaya" Juan said. Her eyes widened,causing Juan to let out a laugh. "What do you have to say Mark?" he questioned,giving Mark an annoying look. "Leave my daughter alone Juan. Take out your wrath on me but let my family. Leave them out of this you lunatic". Mark yelled frustratedly. Juan's face twitched, and he stood there motionless for quite a long time. Everyone froze and just stared at his unmoving figure. Mark had no doubt hit a nerve, but he was far from caring. Juan let out a little sigh,and everyone flinched at that little move. He turned his head to look at Amaya who let out scared shaky breaths. His eyes were like that of a dead person, lifeless. Turning over to Mark,Juan let out a smile. "I'll show you exactly what a lunatic does and believe me,it's gonna be one hell of a show". Juan snapped his fingers, and four hefty guards came forward. One of them yanked the two kids, Amira and Kris, from Imelda and threw them both into a room. "I will humiliate the love of your life and your precious daughter before your very own eyes" Juan said with a murderous look in his eyes. "Strip them both" he ordered, referring to Imelda and Amaya. "Don't you dare lay your hands on my wife or my daughter" Mark yelled angrily, lounging at Juan but a heavy blow landed on the back of his head and sent him crashing helplessly to the ground. The guards stripped Imelda and pinned her down while gagging her mouth with a piece of cloth. Imelda struggled with the guards,but she was no match for them. She turned to look at Mark,and he could only look back in helplessness and in horror,as Juan unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants. Right before the eyes of both father and daughter, Imelda was brutally assaulted sexually. She couldn't fight Juan off,she was so weak. He was rough and hard, slamming into her without a single care. Amaya could only cry as she saw her mother going through hell in the hands of the beast on top of her. After Juan was done with he Imelda,he pushed her aside and grabbed Amaya and pulled her to himself. "No no no no no no,let me go. Please let me go" Amaya cried, fighting with every little strength she had. Juan pinned her down,and when he tried to rip her clothes off and have his way with her,she sunk her teeth into his right arm. He cursed loudly,and angrily greeted Amaya's face with two stinging slaps. Amaya yelped in pain,as she felt her ears ringing and her eyes watered. He tore her dress and yanked her undies off. Ravaging her like the animal that he was, he pounded into her continuously without a moment's pause. Amaya felt her insides tearing apart,and her body seemed to be on fire. She couldn't stop crying,as that was the only thing she could do at that moment. She had always imagined losing her innocence on her wedding night to the man she loves. But she just lost it to a total stranger,and not just any stranger,a psychopathic one. The most painful part was the dishonoring and shameful way she lost it. Seconds turned into slow long agonizing minutes,but the Don wasn't done yet. Amaya's tears seemed to turn him on the more,and fuel his hunger. He groaned in her ears and that seemed to irritate her. She had stopped crying,as the tears had refused to come anymore. "You're so tight and sweet little doll" Juan groaned in her ears again. She didn't say a word,as her eyes were on her stayed fixed on her parents. Imelda couldn't move a muscle,as she could only shed tears for herself and her daughter. Mark on the other hand has been crying ever since, watching his own wedded wife being molested by someone young enough to be their son. And now, the same man was also abusing the living daylight out of his daughter. A few more minutes later,the Don groaned loudly,before pouring inside her. He got up and dressed up, and all through the torture,he had a smile playing on his lips. He noticed the look of disdain in Mark's eyes,but his smile only grew wider. "How about a little bit of enjoyment boys?" Don said with a smirk, looking straight at Mark. "Who would say no to such a wonderful offer boss?" one of the guards said with a smile tugging at his lips,while looking at Imelda and Amaya lustfully. In that moment, Mark understood what Don and his men were saying. Over his dead body will his wife and daughter become sex objects. With the little strength he had left,he grabbed the guard who had pointed a gun at his head, maneuvering him around and snapping his neck. He took the gun and grabbed another guard, holding him at gun point. "Over my dead body will I lay down and watch you turn my wife and daughter into your pleasure objects" Mark said through gritted teeth. Juan was taken aback momentarily,but quickly regained his composure. Anger quickly replaced the shock and he looked stonily at Mark. "You wish for death old man?" he asking meanly. Mark said nothing and only pressed the gun tighter to the man's neck. If that was the only way he could save his family from further humiliation,then he would do it, even if it meant losing his life. "Drop that gun right now you old fool,or you'll die of a heart attack right now" Juan ordered in anger. Mark didn't budge and that angered Juan the more. "As you wish, Mark" Juan said. And in the next second, a bullet shattered imelda's head. She dropped dead to the floor with her eyes wide open. Mark's whole body froze,as he watched his beloved wife laying lifeless on the ground in a pool of her own blood. His heart contracted violently, and he felt his blood drying up. The guard he had held captive,took advantage of his distraction and flung him to the ground. He didn't struggle, neither did he make a sound. His eyes were fixed on his dead wife on the floor. Juan walked slowly to him and squatted to his level. A cocky smile danced on his lips, and he drank in the pleasure he found from Mark's pain. "You don't dare the Don" Juan said darkly. "I'll make your pain and longing disappear,so you don't miss her too much" Juan stood up and turned to walk out. Bit after taking four steps,he spun around and shut Mark thrice, twice in the head and once in the chest. "Noooooooo" Amaya screamed, with her whole body shaking violently. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about her,as her scream had made them all,except Juan, flinch. Juan looked at her with cold eyes and she just wished he'd shoot her dead too. "Bring her, and burn down the house" Juan said, walking out. "What about the kids in the other room boss?" a guard asked Juan. He paused for a second before saying emotionlessly, "Burn them with it". Amaya felt her heart contracting,and she wished for nothing but death. Two guards dragged her out, and in the next minute,the whole building exploded in flames. She heard her little siblings screaming in there,and that was too much for her to bear. She passed out instantly..........BACK TO PRESENT...... Amaya's whole body shook,as she cried bitterly. She had lost her family in the twinkle of an eye,and she was yet to believe it. "How could a human being be that heartless to kill people without remorse? How could a human being be that beastly as to kill little children without second thoughts? Innocent children who haven't done any wrong." Amaya wondered. "Please forgive me Ethan and Norah" she said inwardly and sniffed. "I promised to always protect you both, but I couldn't even lift a finger. I watched you both die and I couldn't save you". She cursed herself mentally. She was still lost in thought when a hand tapped her shoulder. She flinched in shock and almost reacted with a punch. She turned swiftly to see a girl who looked her age, standing behind her and wearing what looked like a maid's uniform. The girl was pretty,with big brown eyes,an oval face, small red lips and a slim figure. Amaya looked at her open-mouthed for almost a minute before t
Amaya walked slowly and quietly behind the mean looking lady. She didn't have a single smile on her somehow wrinkled face,and she walked with the gait of an angry man. They kept walking and taking bends,until they arrived at another different building in the villa. This one was quite smaller compared to the mansion, but was far more luxurious. Everything screamed wealth and power.The guards at the gate stood professionally and at alert, with their guns at the ready."Where was this mean looking woman taking her to?" Amaya wondered,but kept following like a lamb being led to be slaughtered."You better walk faster if you don't want to be the scapegoat this morning" the woman's cold voice rang out.Amaya immediately quickened her pace,and was almost running after her. After a few more minutes of turning and taking the next bend, they arrived in front of a huge metallic gold door.The lady knocked and a guy who looked like one of the bodyguards at the gate came out."The Don asked me t
Amaya watched silently as Esme catwalked gracefully out of the corridor. She folded her fists in anger, and bit hard on her bottom lip to stop herself from crying. How her life had turned into a heap of rubbish in the space of barely twenty four hours. She sniffed back her tears and braced herself for the worse. Sophia saw the pain mixed with anger in Amaya's eyes and gently pulled her into a hug. Amaya stood unmoving, her blue eyes distant. Sophia saw her unresponsiveness and slowly broke the hug. "Let's go inside" She beckoned the already crying Amaya. They walked into the room and Amaya dropped to the floor, crying her heart out. She wished she hadn't gone back home, she wished she had stayed back at the library. "He still would have found you. Didn't you notice that he seemed to know everything about you?" her inner voice said. "That was true", she thought, "he still would have located her". She sighed and buried her face in her palms. Sophia saw her emotionally down cast
Daniel paused at the corridor, looking restless. "Why does she look so familiar? Why does she have the exact same eyes, pointed nose and sharp jawline? Who was she?". These questions kept running in his head and he had no answer to them. He heard that the Don was going to fish out the debtor who refused to pay his debts but instead, went into hiding. The Don had sent him on an important goods exchange, so he didn't witness anything or even see Amaya's parents. He only heard from the Don what had happened. The Don had asked him to inform Amaya that he needed her shortly. He located her room easily when he was told she was with the pretty faced, big eyed maid. He knew Sophia and thus, locating Amaya had been easy. But then she had looked too familiar to ignore. "You might be overthinking" his inner voice said. He refused to believe that. He'd find every possible information about her, only then would he rest or conclude that he was overthinking things. He walked back to the Don's
Amaya stayed restless in her room, expecting to be called by the boss at any second. She feared what would become of her, but tried to hide her fear. Her palms were sweaty, same as her forehead and anyone could notice that she was slightly shaking. "You need to stop panicking Amaya. Look at you, you're drenched in your own sweat already" Sophia spoke out when she couldn't tolerate Amaya's restlessness anymore. She felt pity for Amaya, but panicking wouldn't solve the issue. "I know Sophia, but I can't help it. I've gone through hell in the hands of this man before, and I'm about to go through hell again. Do you think it's easy?" Amaya asked at the verge of tears. Sophia sighed, walking over before wrapping her hands around Amaya, drawing her closer. Amaya broke, sobbing quietly. Sophia had no words to comfort Amaya and just held her tighter in the embrace. Amaya slowly disengaged from the hug and walked into the bathroom to wash her face. She stared at her reflection in the mi
Kristen marched furiously to the Don's mansion. Her steps were swift and angry. She reached the front gate and pushed it open to enter, but at the same moment, a guard was coming out. She tried to walk past the guard but was apprehended. "Where're you going?" the guard asked sternly. Kristen hissed and made to go in again, but the guard flung her backwards. He was already getting pissed. He obviously didn't like Kristen, none of the Don's personal guards actually liked her because of how bitchy she was. "If you touch me again I'll make sure your head ends up in a plate" Kristen threatened. The guard scoffed and laughed dryly. It was obvious that someone had pissed her off and she had come for the Don to get the person punished, something she was passionately hated for. "Since you're so mannerless and arrogant to answer a simple question, I think you should get yourself out of here" the guard, Marco, said with a burning glare. Asides being one of the Don's personal guards,
"Please,spare my family and take me instead. I beg you,don't harm them" a fifty-seven year old man on his knees pleaded.His eyes were teary and his heart seemed to have jumped into his mouth. Seeing his wife and children on their knees with guns pointed at their heads,he felt his world collapsing.His wife was holding their two children close to herself, while they cried. Seeing his family this way made him weak and heartbroken,but there was nothing he could do about it. Not when it was this demon in human form in front of him."I am asking you again and for the last time,where is my money?" the other man who looked exactly like a drug lord said,while puffing carelessly on his pipe."Give me just one month please. One more month and I promise I'll pay off my debt. Please" the older man begged."You think i came all the way here to listen to your pleadings?" the drug lord said with a scoff.The older man, Mark,was mute. He had tried hard to pay back the debt he owed this demon standin
Amaya felt uneasy back at the library. Something wasn't right and she could feel it. She was so unrelaxed and everything wasn't feeling normal. She had come to the library to study for her fast approaching exams and everything was going on smoothly until now. Her left pinky finger had began shaking on it's own,a sign she had always had since she was a kid when things were about to or were already going wrong. She tried to focus back on her studying again,but couldn't. She suddenly felt restless. Standing up,she grabbed her bag and packed up her things,she was going home. She put on her face mask,dark sunglasses and a scarf before heading towards the library's exit. Getting out of the library,she flagged down a cab,since she hadn't come in her car. After telling the cab man her destination,she got in and they drove off. She stopped some distance from the house,since she knew they were in hiding and paid they cab man. She stood there till the cab driver was out of sight before tur
