A maid? "I trust you. Well, she is all yours." Julio said, walking away with the other man. "Thank you, sir." Miss Parker said. Tears approached my eyes as I stared at Julio, walking away. A maid? Is that...."The name?" Miss Parker caught my attention. She looks mean. "Ma..Malia," I couldn't help but stutter. "Malia. You heard him, I am Miss Parker. Head of the Rossi's household workers and welfare." She explained in a jiffy. I shifted a little. "I presume this is your first time getting employed?" "Ye...yes," "Do you stutter all the time?" "N...no..." "Funny." She said as her eyes moved down my ripped jumpsuit. I rubbed my arms nervously. "You will need a uniform. Your job starts as soon as possible, without wasting any seconds. There is a lot to be done around here." I nodded slightly. "Jenny!" She snapped. I flinched."Yes, Miss Parker?" An unfamiliar female voice caught my attention. She was standing at the huge and open entrance door where Julio and the other
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked, gripping my neck tightly. My heart begged to explode as I struggled in his tight hold on my neck. God I can't breathe. "I asked you a question, little bitch," I closed my eyes, trying to form a word. "What the heck are you doing here? And dressed like that?!" He yelled. I flinched, feeling my head banging. I opened my mouth to speak. He held me tighter. My eyes are slowly rolling to the back. God..... please..save me....Pl....He let go off my neck instantly but aggressively. I gasped loudly for air, coughing hard as I held my neck where he gripped. "Now, speak," he ordered. "I....he..... Julio made me...." He scoffed. "Julio?"I shifted away from him a bit, shielding myself with my hands. "You fucking call him by his name?" I cringed, shaking my head as tears rolled down my eyes. "Why the fuck did he....." He paused. My heart banged like drums."He has some fucking explaining to do. You should be fucking dead!" He yell
"Malia?" I froze. "Malia, sweetie," That's my mum's voice. I looked around me for a sight of her. I am seated on the floor in a completely white room that has very bright lights. "Malia," I heard her voice again. "Mum?" "Where are you, baby?" She asked. Her voice is filled with pain. I can sense it. Tears approached my eyes. "Malia," "Mum....mum, where are you?" No response. I looked around for her while still seated on the floor. "Malia," "Mum," "Come back please," she begged. My heart clenched. "I do want to come back, mum. I miss you." I cried. "Malia," "Mum," I sobbed. "Ma...." She trailed off as the walls moved up slowly. I shuddered as I watched the walls move up. It was replaced with glass walls. "Malia?" I turned my head and I sighted her behind the glass. She is looking at me with a lot of emotions in her eyes as she placed her two hands on the glass. My heart fluttered in absolute joy as I got up my feet and ran towards her. "Mum!" Tears rolled down m
"Do you know how expensive that phone is?!" She yelled, glaring at me with so much anger as I held my cheek where she slapped me. I open my mouth to speak but...."Of course you don't know. You have no clue, dummy. You are nothing but a nobody. An ordinary, dirty looking maid!" She snapped, making my heart clench again. Tears approached my eyes but I managed to suppress it as I dropped my gaze. "Pick the fucking phone up, stupid!" She ordered. I almost jumped as I quickly leaned down and picked up her phone. "Give it!" She grabbed the phone from my hand, aggressively. Tears begged to flow. I didn't mean to bump into her. Why is she being harsh towards me. My cheek hurts. She slapped me hard because of her phone. It was a accident. I didn't mean to. "What is wrong, ma'am Angela?" Miss Parker's familiar voice asked as she approached behind the mean lady. "Ugh! This good for nothing maid destroyed my fucking phone," Miss Parker looked at me. I shook my head slightly. "It...

David, her four year old son is lying next to her and resting his head on her laps. Her hand is on his back but her mind and soul is calling after the love of her life. She can't believe Lisa is dead. She really can't believe it. She has been crying ever since. All effort to console her has be in vain. She wants her Lisa back. How is she going to live? How is she going to live her life without the woman she loves? This is terrible. So fucking terrible. She regret ever leaving the hospital that day. She has been staying with her in the hospital ever since Lisa got shot but that very day, she had to go home and get more clothes and bring their son, David along with her. But the hospital called and gave her the dreadful news. That bitch! Iris yelled internally. That bitch, Ivy! She is not going to spare her. That bitch killed the love of her lif
MALIAThe sound of kisses filled the room as they made steps closer to the bed. My heart pounded relentlessly as I remained still under the bed. This is really happening. I felt their weight land on the bed, making me duck. I felt them move on the bed.Clothes dropped in front of me, making me cringe a little. "Fuck....you are fucking beautiful," I heard Julio say. I heard more kissing sounds. "Uh...." I heard a moan from Angela. They moved on the bed continuously. The bed is a kid's bed, how can it contain both of them? Are they even supposed to be doing this? They are betraying people. She is that mean boss' fiance. And.....and Julio, I heard Miss Parker saying his wife and kids are coming back tomorrow. This is his kids room for Christ sake. God, how can I get out of here without getting ca...."Ah!" A verse hitting the floor and shattering right in front of my face made me let out an involuntary scream. I quickly covered my mouth, feeling my heart pounding very hard.
THIRD POVIris' room grieves as well over the absence of Lisa. The entire room screamed pain and sorrow for a precious soul gone so soon. Iris and Cora are both seated on the cushion next to the bed where David is still sleeping on. Iris leaned down and rested her head on Cora's laps as more tears flowed down her eyes. Cora placed her hand on Iris' hair, caressing it softly. Her mind is filled with a lot of things. Iris as well. She misses Lisa. She regretted ever leaving the hospital that night. She would have stayed with Lisa and she will still be here with her. Cora sniffled, feeling bad for her friend turned sister. She can't believe Lisa is dead. That heartless woman killed her. And she is with Malia. Cora's heart clenched. That woman is capable of anything. Lisa was her sister and she killed her. Her own sister. Why won't she kill Malia? Cora thought to herself. Why can't East do what she wants him to do? She asked internally. She wants so bad to scream. To cry ou
MALIA"What did you say to my future mother in law, you bitch?!" She snarled, scowling at me."I didn't say any....." "Shut up!" She shuned, slapping my face instantly. "Ah!" I whimpered, almost tripping but managed to control my balance as I held my cheek. Tears filled my eyes as I focused my gaze down. I didn't tell her anything. Why did she hit me? Why is everyone mean to me today?! I haven't done anything wrong! "Why were you looking at me like that, back there?" She asked with a low tone.I sobbed silently as I rubbed my sore cheek. "Huh?!" She snapped, making me flinch. "Nothing...." I cried a little. She grabbed me by my collar, bringing me closer to her. My heart dropped as I shielded myself with my hands. I don't want another slap. My cheeks can't take anymore. It hurts so much. "Look at me," I shuddered. "Look at me damn it!" I flinched, moving my hand off my face slightly, to look at her. She clenched her jaw. Her hazel eyes carried a lot of anger, glaring a
"The fuck?" Ivan asked."Who the hell is that?" Julio asked. "Don Rossi!" My dad yelled again. "Who is that?!" The don asked. "My.....my dad." I muttered, making everyone look at me. My heart pounded. "Just what we needed." Julio said, getting on his feet. So did Ivan. They both headed out. Eli got on his feet as well, but I held him.He looked at me. I shook my head. He held my hand. "It's okay. We just have to go talk to him." He said."No, no. Please. He will not listen. He is a stubborn man." I almost cried, still holding him tightly. "Malia," "Have you seen the shit you have put my son into, you little bitch?" The don asked, making us look at him. My heart clenched at his words. "Dad, don't," Eli said. The don scoffed. "Stay here, Malia," Eli said, releasing himself from my hold and headed out. "No, Eli," I called, standing on my feet as I watched him walking away. "Go after him." The don said."Eli told her to stay here." Eli's mother said to him."If your fathe
My heart raced as he came on top of me. He stared at me, making my heart bang. My head is all over the place. The look on his face shows that he wants to touch me. I want him to. I want to be nothing but his. All his. But I am scared. I am scared that this might trigger those awful moments with Carlos. "What is going on in your head, sunshine?" He asked. I stared at him, feeling greatly uneasy. His eyes rested on my chest. They moved back to me. "What are you thinking?" He asked. "N... nothing." I stuttered nervously. He maintained eye contact as he moved the tiny hand of my nightgown down, exposing my breasts to his hungry eyes. He leaned down and kissed the middle of my breasts. A whimper left my mouth. "You are lying." He said, making me more uneasy. He moved his mouth around my cleavage. I felt shivers running down my spine. "What are you thinking, baby?" He asked. Good gracious. "I....I am not thinking about anything." I stuttered breathlessly. "Why are you li
My heart clenched as I stared at Angela with Eli's mother. Her father is here and she is here too. That means they are here to convince Eli's parents, or they already have them so they can make Eli take her back. My heart tightened at my thoughts. "What is that bitch doing here, Dad?" Eli asked, making Angela's face twitch. "Eli," his mother called. "I know you are upset with my daughter, but you don't have to use such names," Mr Monero said. Eli scoffed. "If your daughter wasn't whoring around and fucking my brother, I wouldn't be calling her such names, Monero." Eli said. Mr Monero scowled at Eli. "Son, listen...." "Drop it, dad. I am done living my life for you and this family," Eli retorted. "Excuse me?" The don asked. "You fucking heard me. I don't know what your plans are for bringing these lunatics here, but I am not interested in Angela. She can marry Julio for all I care. At least they can pick up from where they started." Eli said, walking towards the stairs witho
My heart pounded where I stood. I looked ahead, and I saw my brothers walking towards the main entrance of the house. I can't let them hurt Eli. Why can't they leave him alone? Oh God. What am I going to do? Think, Malia, think! They closed the door behind them. My legs took me towards the door. I opened it slightly, and I saw them walking down the stairs while talking about something. I walked out of the door quietly and hid behind one of the pillars. They moved towards Leonardo's car and I descended the stairs quietly. I leaned down while walking towards the boot of the car. They didn't notice because they were focused on their discussion about Flavio. I got to the boot and dropped on my knees. "We are going to kill him and his entire family," Ivan said. What?"Yes, we are. That fucker doesn't know what is coming for him." Leonardo said, and I sensed him unlocking the car. I sensed them enter the car and I opened the boot and entered quietly. Leo started the car and dr
"Eli," He stared at me in that same way that makes my legs weak. I couldn't believe my eyes. He is actually here. He is right in front of me. "Eli..... it's really you," I stuttered, still amazed. "Malia," he called, making my heart flutter. My name has never sounded so nice in a very long time. I smiled a little as I took slow steps towards him. I held his arm, giving myself some fulfillment that he is really here. I hugged him tightly, shutting my eyes. I took in his familiar scent. It messed with my senses in a very pleasant way. I love it. I missed it. God, I missed him so much.I thought I would never see him again. Oh God. He wrapped his hands around me, adding to my fluttering heart. "I missed you, Eli. I missed you so much," I said. "I missed you too, baby." My heart raced. He placed a kiss on my hair, making joyful tears approach my eyes. "I can't believe you are here." I said, unwrapping him and looking at him. "When did you.......how did you find me?" I
"Uncle, tell him, please." I begged uncle Seth. He looked at my dad and was about to say something, but dad raised his hand at him, shutting him up. "Sit down," dad ordered, looking at me with anger. I slowly sat down, dropping my gaze as tears approached my eyes. "Listen attentively," Dad snarled, making me look at him. "East, please." Mum said. He raised his hand at her, still looking at me. "I said it before, and I will say it again. Forget that bastard." He said, making my heart clench. "You are home now. Far away from them. Be happy and forget about all of them because I am definitely going to kill them all for turning you into a slave." "They didn't know who I was." He scoffed. "I don't care. I am going to get back at them." "But dad...." "Enough!" He yelled, making me flinch. "East," mum called. "I don't want to ever hear his name in this house again. Kill that stupid feeling because nothing is ever going to happen between you two. I will
"Good night, baby," Mum said, kissing my temples. "Good night." I said with a low tone as she turned off the lights on my nightstand and walked out of my room. "I love you, sweetie." She said."I love you too, mum." I said. I heard her close my door. I reached for the light and turned it on. I sat up and heaved a sigh. My dad's words sang in my head. He is so angry with them. He doesn't care about what Eli did. Eli saved me. Why is dad still angry?I don't want him to kill Eli's family. It will hurt him. It is not their fault. They did know who I was. They actually found me and made me a maid. If it wasn't for them, Carlos would have found me. They actually saved me. Eli saved me. I miss him so much. I miss his pretty face. I miss the nicknames he usually calls me. I miss the way he makes me feel. His warm touch and his embrace. I miss everything about him. Am I really not going to see him again? My heart clenched at my thoughts. It hurts. It hurts deeply. I am happy to b
I got down from the jet along with uncle Seth and others. I took in the familiar smell and feeling of home. Tears begged to flow as we walked towards the black cars. We got in and drove away. I rested my eyes on the windows as we moved. My heart feels so delighted right now. I will soon be home. I can't believe this. Eli came to my mind. I felt bad instantly. I wonder what he is doing right now. Could be looking for me? Is he worried? I miss him. I am alive because of him. I owe him everything. "Excited?" Uncle Seth asked, making me look at him. I nodded.He smiled. "Your parents will be very excited to see you." He said, making me smile. I turned back to the window, smiling at the thought of seeing my parents. I really missed them. I missed them so much. I am going to hug my mum tightly. And my dad as well. And my brothers. I am going to hug everyone. I miss them so much. I miss my home. I missed everything. I still can't believe I am back to Italy. I am miles aw
The door to the van closed and it moved. My heart begged to explode as I struggled in the person's hold. "Let go of me!" I yelled and the person released me instantly. I looked at who it was. I froze. It was my uncle, Seth. "Malia," he called, smiling. "Uncle Seth," I called, feeling my tears approaching. Oh my God. I can't believe this. I hugged him instantly. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.He found me. .I can't believe this. He found me! I am finally with my family!."Hey, Kiddo." I heard another familiar voice but at the front seat. It was Uncle Diego. He turned to me and smiled. I let out a breathless laugh, feeling the excitement in my heart. Uncle Seth unwrapped me and cupped my face. I stared at him with my teary eyes as I placed my hand on his wrist. "God, I can't believe you are here, sunshine." He said. "I can't believe it either, uncle." I almost cried. He brought my temples closer and placed a kiss on it. I closed my eyes, feeling delighted. H
