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

She has been here since forty eight hours of the surgery. No movement or anything from her. This is becoming bothersome. He wonders where his dad and Ivan went. Sighing, he reached for her hand. He leaned closer and kissed her knuckle. "I love you, mum." He said, looking at her. Her eyes are closed and she is still in the same position for forty eight hours now."You have to wake up." He said, feeling his heart tightening. "Fight this shit and wake up, please. Do it for us. For dad." He said, sighing. "For Malia." He added. "I am sure she doesn't want anything to

    MALIAOh no. Angela. She is here. I stood at the step, holding the handrail of the stairs nervously. She stopped halfway from, looking at me angrily. More like glaring at me. Oh God. "Come here," she ordered. I stood still, looking at her. She raised a brow. "Didn't you hear me?" She asked. "i said, come here." My heart beating incredibly hard, I made a move but...."Malia," Anita's familiar voice claimed our attention. She is at the peak of the stairs, looking between Angela and I. I felt my nerves calming down. Thank goodness. "What are you doing?" Anita asked me. I looked at Angela and then back Anita. "I was...." "I called her." Angela chipped in, making me look at her. She is looking at Anita and has her hands folded. Anita scoffed, making me look at her. "You called her?" Angela hummed in response. "Well, I am sorry. She is my kids' nanny. She has to do things for them right now. Malia, go to the kids' room." Anita ordered. I nodded, making a move but...."Do

Why is he gripping her like that? What has gotten into him?"Eli!" She yelled. I lost control of my legs and hands as they reached for him. "Please let her...." I trailed off the minute he glared at me."Don't you dare," he snarled, sending shivers down my spine. "Get out," he ordered, still gripping her hand and she is reacting to the pain.I nodded slightly. I took steps to walk past them but the next thing that happened caught me off guard. Angela grabbed my hair with her other hand. "Ah!" I screamed to the pain, placing my hand on hers. "You bitch! This is all your fault!" She sparked, gripping my hair mercilessly. "Angela!" I heard Eli's yell. Next, I felt her release my hair and she is pushed to the floor.

    Carlos. The one and only Carlos. The man who violated me and took my innocence without mercy. My worst nightmare. He is here. Right in front of me. He is looking at me and sipping his drink. "I have a huge family, Carlos." The Don, who is seated on the head chair answered and they chuckled. My heart pounded relentlessly and my legs weakened. "I don't have much maids like this back at home. But I sure do have a lot of guards." Carlos words felt like needles piercing into my ears. "Well, I have a lot of maids, guards, family and a huge mansion." The Don said. They all chuckled again. Leave this place, Malia. Leave! I turned to walk away but...."Uh, Malia," Anita called, stopping me on my track. I turned to her. I felt Carlos burning eyes on me, making me shudder slightly as I walked towards Anita. She gave me a sign to lean down close to her ear. I obeyed. "Tell the maids to get me some soda on the fridge. You know what, just get it yourself, okay?" She ordered. I nod

    Third POVIvy is outside and at the back yard of her big mansion. She is actually next to the big pool. She is in a white sexy swim suit that exposed her enormous curves. She also has brown sun shades on and a big brown hat. She is lying on a beach bench, taking the burning sun. She heaved a sigh as a middle aged-looking woman in the typical maid attire walked towards her with a tray of a glass of orange juice on it. It has a slice of orange and a tiny pink umbrella attached to the glass. Getting to the spot where Ivy is, the maid picked up the glass and leaned towards Ivy. "Your juice, ma'am." The maid said. "What the hell kept you?" Ivy asked, without looking at her. The maid stood up straight. "I am sorry, ma'am." Ivy heaved a sigh as she collected the glass from the maid. "It is not your fault, Marian. It is mine. I had to hire an old hag like you," Ivy said as she sat up. The maid gave her a slight bow. "Just leave, you look hideous." Ivy said. "Sorry, ma'am."

    ELII relaxed on the chair, picking up my glass of wine and sipped a little. It's been a while since that witness took Carlos to the restroom. She is not back yet. Or could she have gone back to her duties? I would see her walk pass if she did. And Carlos is not back yet. The way she looked at him sent a message. Don't forget the way she held my hand when she saw his wife at the mall the previous day. She looked scared to see her. I sensed it. Like the way I sensed her fear when she saw Carlos. Carlos' wife was actually surprised to see her with me. She must have told Carlos about seeing the witness with me. That's why he is here in. Something is fishy. I want to find out. "So, when do you two intend to get married?" Dad asked, claiming my attention. I looked at him. He is busy eating. Next, Angela held my arm."Soon." She answered, resting her head on my arm. "Hmm. I can't wait." Mum said, making me look at her. She is smiling at Angela who is still resting her head on

    "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."

    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?

    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.

    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.
