MALIAAnita is walking ahead and along the hallway. I am following her behind. I can't believe she just defended me back there. First it was Eli, which is more surprising than ever and now her?They actually exchanged words because of me. Oh God. What is going on? "Anita, we need to talk...." 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. I remained still, my eyes not leaving my fiddling fingers. "Come inside, Malia. " Anita ordered, walking back into the room. With my pounding heart, I mistakenly

My heart begged to explode just by the way Julio is glaring down at me right now. His height and mine gives the image of a predator and it's prey. My legs weakened and my palms are sweating. His grip on my arm is stinging. "Why are you always around my wife?" He snarled. Terror washed me dry.He gripped my arm tighter. "I...she is the one who calls for me." I stuttered. "What the fuck does that even mean? Are you trying to spite me or something? Because you know my fucking secret?" I shook my head in absolute fear. "N-no." "You want to tell on me huh?" 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. "What the fuck have you told her?" He repeated. "I haven't told her anything." I almost cried. He clenched his jaw angrily, gripping my arm the more. I whimpered a little. "Tell me what?" A familiar voice claimed our attention. Anita.

"Turn. Around." He repeated in a very calm but disturbing tone. With my heart still pounding, I raised my hands up slowly in surrender as I turned around to face him. My heart dropped, seeing the gun pointed to my temple. I shuddered uncontrollably as his eyes roamed me. I prayed internally for my life. This could be the end of me. I will not see my family again. I will not see my mum! He cocked the gun. I flinched, closing my eyes, making tears roll down. "What are you doing here?" He asked.My heart banged hard. "I asked you a question." His calm tone is not calming to my soul right now. "I....I was..I..." I felt the hard metal pressed on my temple, shutting me up. "Stuttering is the last thing to do with me, bitch. Answer my damn question." I let out a whimper. "What the fuck are you doing out here by this time? You are a spy, aren't you?" I shook my head. "N-no." "Then what are you doing...." "She is with me." A familiar voice chipped in, making me freeze. That's

Did she just say Eli?"Eli will take us?" Ivan asked. Anita shrugged. "Yes." Ivan scoffed. "Really? How did you do it? You know, make him agree?" Anita heaved a sigh. "i used his niece and nephew to ask him for a favour. You know he loves them too much to say no to anything about them."Ivan nodded. "True. Alright then, I will go and get ready." Ivan said. "Please do. I won't be able to join you guys because I have something important to do. So please, make sure you all have fun." Anita said. "We will, mummy!" The kids squealed happily. Anita rolled her eyes. Ivan chuckled. "Um, Malia," she called. "Yes, ma'am?""I will go and get the list of the things to buy. Don't worry about the messy room, you will deal with it later." She said, walking away before I could say anything. I heaved a sigh. Eli? He is taking us. But....why? "Uncle, I want a new video game!" Joshua said. Ivan hummed. "That can be arranged." "I want a new Barbie doll!" Annie squealed. Ivan chuckled. "

Eli moved the car, driving pass angry-looking Angela who is glaring at me. I looked down as the car continue moving. "What is her problem?" I heard Ivan asked. "She is Angela. She always have a problem." Eli answered, tutting.Ivan sighed. I squeezed the seatbelt nervously as I thought about Angela and her fury. My heart picked up. She is definitely going to attack me for this.Oh no. "Are you okay, Malia?" Annie asked, claiming my attention. Actually she claimed everyone's attention and that added to my stress. "Ye...yes I am fine." I said to her. "You are holding my hand." She said, making me arch my brows as I looked down. I am really holding her hand. Gosh, I am really going through so much stress right now. I released her hand, mouthing sorry to her. "Are you thinking about Angela?" Ivan asked, making me look at him. He is looking at me. My eyes went to the front mirror and I locked eyes with Eli. My breathing hitched as I quickly dropped my gaze. "Don't worry, she w

He reached for the tissue paper effortlessly. My heart pounded incredibly fast as I offered my hand to take it from him but he placed it in the cart, ignoring my hand. "You are killing time, hurry the hell up." He said, walking passed me. I gulped, suppressing my heart beat. I looked ahead and I saw him walking away. Sighing, I looked down on the list for the next item to get. The cart is filled up already with basically the kids' toiletries and body lotion. The next thing to get on the list is body sprays and perfumes. I pushed the cart along as I walked around the supermarket in search of the body spray spot. God the cart is so heavy now. It is difficult to push. I looked around for Eli but I don't see him anywhere. Where is he? Why can't help me with this? How does he expect me to hurry up when all these are too much for me to handle? Sighing, I stopped at a spot to get a shampoo. I actually skipped it. Reading the list, I confirmed the name of the brand written on the list

"Did you hear that?" I heard Ivan ask, making wide my eyes. I covered my mouth with my both hands, still resting my back on the wall."No, I didn't." Jenny answered."You sure?" He asked. "Yes. What did you hear?" Jenny asked."Like someone or something made a sound." Ivan said.I should leave this place now before they catch me eavesdropping. Only God knows what they will do to me. I quickly ran out of the spot quietly, heading down the hallway that is leading to the maids' quarters. I made sure I didn't make any sound with my feet till I got to the maids' quarters. I opened the door and entered the room quietly. Everyone are asleep. I walked quietly along the pathway and towards my bed side. I climbed my bed without making a sound, faced the wall and covered myself with the sheets. I am glad my bed is the last bed and it is close to the wall. I get to face the wall and not another person anytime I want to think or cry. Right now, I want to hide from Jenny. I don't want her sus

"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
