"What is his obsession with you?"he asked. "N.. nothing." I stuttered, moving the wheel with my shaking hands. My legs are weak right now. "What do you mean nothing? The bastard was bent on taking you with him." He said. "I... I don't what his obsession is about me." I almost cried as the awful memories of Carlos violating me filled my head. Tears rolled down my eyes as I drove. He didn't ask further but I felt his eyes on me. I didn't look at him but focused on the road. I sniffled. He groaned again. "Sorry," i said to him but without looking away from the road. His phone rang out again. I sensed him pick it up. "Why the fuck are you blowing my line, Angela?" He snarled angrily. I wasn't hearing what she is telling him but I think she is worried. "Stop fucking yelling at me like an insane woman," he said. I sniffled a bit. "I don't....." He paused, groaning a bit. "Wherever I went to is none of your damn business. Just be with the fucking guests." He said and hung u
ELI I opened my eyes, feeling a little pain in my shoulder and ribs. My eyes took in the familiar ceiling of Pablo's clinic and I instantly remembered why, and how I came here. I am currently lying on my back on the bed and I can see some medical equipment connected to my body. A bandage is wrapped around my belly and another it wrapped around my left shoulder. I heaved a sigh as I moved to sit up but I felt a sharp pain from my ribs. "Ugh," I groaned in pain, closing my eyes and waiting for the annoying pain to reduce. Slowly, I managed to sit up but not without getting the same pain again. I groaned. Letting out a sigh, I looked around me. I don't see Pablo anywhere. I winced the minute I felt another pain but from my shoulder. Fuck you, Carlos! I looked at my shoulder where the bandage is. It has a little blood on it. I looked down at my ribs. The bandage around it has blood on it as well. My eyes went to my torn blood-stained white shirt on the floor. Pablo and his fuc
MALIAI clenched the side of my dress, feeling unease and my heart is pounding fast. "I asked you a question, Malia." Ivan said. "I wasn't...." I paused. He raised his brows. "He...I was...." God, my heart is beating very fast. I can't speak well. He arched his brows. "What? Can't you speak?" He asked. I shook my head. "What?" He asked. I looked down. "You know what?" He asked. I looked at him. "Just go to the quarters." He said. I felt slightly relieved. "Th..thank you." I stuttered as I made a step to walk past him and head towards the door, but somehow I missed a step and was about meeting the floor. I gasped, my heart dropping as I expect to fall on the floor but strong arms caught me. I let out a breath, my eyes closed and I am breathing hard. I opened my eyes and saw Ivan's blue eyes, looking at mine with worry. "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded. He kept staring at me. His eyes moved from my eyes to my lips. He arched his brows but shook his head like he try
MALIAMy heart banged relentlessly in absolute fright. Brenda and Jenny are seriously blocking my way and glaring at me. Brenda is the one glaring at me. But Jenny? She doesn't have a pleasant look either. Oh God. This is the one reason why I can't stay in these quarters. Brenda and Jenny hate me. My heart can't stop beating very fast. What are they really going to do to me? "Malia, Malia," Brenda spoke up, scoffing. I felt cold shivers running down my spine. "Little new Malia. You are really a fucking little tramp." She said calmly. I arched my brows. "First it was Eli." She continued. My heart pounded faster. "Now, it is Ivan?" I shook my head slightly. My eyes moved to Jenny. She is still looking at me with that unpleasant look on her face. Brenda scoffed, making me look at her. "You are such a slut." She snarled. "I didn't do anything." I defended. "Shut your mouth, filthy bitch." Jenny cursed, surprising me to the core.I let out a breathless scoff, feeling tears
"Eli," I called, looking at him with emotions. "What did you just call him?" My heart dropped at the familiar female voice. It was Brenda. I looked at her. She is the maid Eli has his hand around on her shoulders. I was too focused on him that I didn't notice her. Oh no. She glared at me angrily. "I...i mean, sir. You are back." I corrected myself while looking between him and Brenda. "How....how are you?" I asked nervously. "Help me to my room." He said, slowly withdrawing his hand from Brenda's shoulders. I arched my brows. "Wha..." He reached for me before I could complete my statement. I quickly moved closer to him so he wouldn't loose his balance and fall. He placed his hand comfortably on my shoulders and I wrapped my hand around his waist. "Thank you, Brenda. Malia will take it up from here." Eli said without looking at her as we walked. I felt burning eyes on my back as we walked towards his room door. It felt like daggers are being thrown at
MALIAI gulped a little at the sight of Angela, standing in front of me. She is looking at me with that familiar displeasure and disdain. More like jealousy. "Good...good day, ma'am." I stuttered, dropping my gaze. She didn't respond but walked into the room and walked further in. I internally thanked the heavens for making her not to react as usual for being in her fiance's room. I headed out and closed the door behind me. Sighing, I walked along the hallway, heading towards the stairs. I descended the stairs and headed towards the kitchen to get his bottle of wine.I found some maids there. They all looked at me the minute I entered. "Um....where can I get the boss' wine?" I asked. I got no response. I heaved a little sigh. "Which of the bosses?" One of the maids with red hair asked. "Eli," i answered. "Over there," she said, pointing at a refrigerator. I nodded. "Thank you," I said, walking towards the refrigerator. I opened it and I saw a lot of wine. Oh geez. Whic
ELI A FEW MINUTES AGO, I opened my door calmly and I saw someone in a flower designed dress, walking towards the stairs. I arched my brows, wandering who it was at this time. Her back view was hard to comprehend who it was. She has brunet hair packed in a pony and she doesn't walk like the women around here. Malia came to my mind. It must be her. I think she is heading back to the quarters. Anita doesn't walk or wear dresses like that. And she has black hair. Angela is right in my room sound asleep. Despite all my refusal, she still decided to sleepover. She is a fucking brat. My wedding is in a few days. Thanks to my dad and his hunger for more power. I want the power too but she is a fucking pain in the ass. I can't stand her. I am seriously going to put up with her annoying acts for the rest of my life. This is becoming annoying. It is more annoying because our wedding is getting close. This is fucked up. I felt a little pain on my bandaged should
MALIAJulio and Angela are still kissing at the corner of the hallway. They pulled away from each other the minute they noticed my presence. Angela looked away and Julio ran his fingers through his hair. He pointed me and opened his mouth to speak."Don't you...." "Malia," Eli's voice interrupted, making Julio pull back and he held Angela closer as I looked at Eli. He is shirtless, still has bandages around his shoulder and he is standing at his door. "Yes, sir." I answered, still standing at my spot. "What are you looking at?" He asked. I looked at the corner where Julio and Angela are. They are both glaring at me. They are literally daring me to speak. "Malia," Eli called again. "Nothing, sir." I lied, looking at him. "Does it still hurt?" He asked. I arched my brows a bit."What hurts?" I heard Angela whisper. "Does your cheek still hurt?" Eli asked again."N...no sir." I answered. "I need help with the sheets." He said. "Um sir I am not.." "Now, please " he ordered, w
"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
