THIRD POV

East, Seth and Leonardo walked out of the house, heading towards the cars. Cora and Lucia walked out of the house too, looking at the men worriedly.

"Is the tracker still on?" East asked as he got into the front seat.

"Yes dad." Leonardo answered, getting into the backseat.

Seth entered the driver's seat. "She is heading to the North." He said as he started the car.

Ivan walked out of the house and stood next to Cora and Lucia.

"Dad," he called, calming East's and Leonardo's attention.

"Take care of your mother." East said to him.

Ivan nodded, placing his hands on Cora's shoulders.

East stared at Cora. Cora is staring at him with her brimming eyes. They didn't stop staring at each other till Seth drove the car out of the compound.

"What was Iris thinking?" Lucia asked.

"She said it to me." Cora said, still looking at the moving car.

    MALIA "CORA!!!!" I jumped, gasping for air as I looked around me. Panting hard, my eyes took in the familiar environment. Large hall-like room with bunk beds lined up on both sides. I am in the maids' quarters and on my bed. Everyone are asleep. I felt my nerves calming down little by little, including my pounding heart. That was my dad's voice. I actually felt it. He was calling out my mother's name in a very disturbing manner. My heart beat increased as I dropped my feet down. What does it mean? Why is he calling out her name like that? What is going on back at home? I want to know! Tears approached my eyes as terrible thoughts filled my head. Could it be that.. That dangerous woman? My heart dropped. Did she harm my mum? No no. Please no. Oh God. Please. Please don't let anything bac happen to my mom. Please save her. Protect her, please. Tears rolled out of my eyes as I prayed.

    With my wide eyes, I stared at his dull brown ones as my heart banged loudly. Wha....what is he doing? His head tilted as he stared at me. My breath became abnormal as I nervously looked between his two hands that are trapping me. He grabbed my face with his strong hands, forcing me to look at him.I whimpered, shutting my eyes as terror washed me. No one is here. Just the two of us. Everyone are asleep right now. There is no one to save me from him..What if he kills me right here and now? Or....or touch me inappropriately. My banging heart sank at the thought. Malia, you have to get away from him. There is no one to save you from him. Save yourself. Remember he is drunk! He is quite vulnerable right now. He kept staring at me as I shuddered. His grip on my cheeks loosened but his hand and eyes moved down to my lips. I arched my brows a little.His thumb rubbed my lips. Malia, run for it! My inner mind kept pushing but I feel glued down by him. His hand moved down my chest,

She is looking at him with a mixture of surprise, anger and hurt on her face. "Ugh!" She groaned, walking out of the room angrily. "Little brat!" he spat. I looked down, gently massaging my cheek where she slapped me. It hurts so bad. I held the sheets as I sensed him turn to me. My legs moved to walk past him and head out the door but he grabbed my arm, bringing me back to the spot i stood. My heart skipped as i focused my gaze down. He reached for my chin, causing me to shudder as he raised my face up to look at him. My heart increased it's pace. He examined my face. What is he doing? His brown eyes focused on my left cheek where she slapped me. "Get an ice for it." He said. I arched my brows a little but nodded slightly.

Julio's voice took my attention, making me look at him.He is approaching us and talking to Anita who just ignored him and entered the room. Julio stopped on his track, looking at her. "Anita," he called. "Not now Julio." I heard her say as I focused my gaze down and took steps to enter the room. "What the....what are you doing here?" Julio asked, making me stop on my track. I fiddled with my fingers, still looking down. "She is with me, Julio." Anita said, standing at the door. "Do you have a problem with that?" She asked.

He asked.I shook my head. "No I swear." "What have you told her?" He asked. "Nothing." "Liar!" He snarled. I cringed, my heart pounded like drums. His blue eyes are very scary tonight.

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.

    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."

    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.

    "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?

    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.

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.
