"Leave the dog" Seth ordered.
"Seriously Seth this is...."
"You know I fucking hate repeating myself" Seth cut him off.
Diego released Sky aggressively. Sky quickly clung on me and i hugged him tightly.
"This is ridiculous" Diego muttered.
"Wh ....where are you taking me?" I stuttered nervously.
"Another word from you again and I will shoot you and your filthy dog" Diego said with all seriousness.
Shivers washed me as i hug Sky looking down.
I won't dare utter another word again because he is dead serious about shooting Sky and I.
Hunter where are you please?
Come for me I beg you.
I don't know where they are taking me.
I am not sure if I am going to come out of this alive.
They didn't even allow me take my phone with me.
Oh Sky.
I look at him. He looks so scared.
I kiss his temple.
I wish I could tell him not to scared.
But this man threatened to kill us if I speak.
Oh God what is going on?
Please send Hunter to me God. Please.
More tears rushed out of my eyes as I cried silently.
I hope I don't get killed.
I am too young to die.
But if I die, I will get to see my parents up in heaven. I could finally be with them.
They both died in a car accident.
I was just a few months old.
My mum's sister couldn't take care of me that why she took me to the orphanage.
We use to have good sisters back then when I was little. One of them told me about my parents. She told me that my parents were the ones who gave me the name Cora. And their last name too. Davidson.
I had a great time at the orphanage even though no one adopted me. I was so unfortunate when it comes to adoption. All my friends left but I still had Sunny and Julia. With them still being around like me, I gave up hope of getting adopted and focused on just living, cooking and playing with my friends.
Everything was perfect until they hired the bad sisters. I was fifteen when they came. The old sisters retired and left. It was painful for us but we had to live with it. The new ones treated us badly.
Most especially the babies.
Next they started selling kids that are up to seventeen to scary Russian men.
It got to my turn, I escaped. Ran into Hunter and he saved me.
Now I am here, in between two huge and scary Italian men.
I never imagined this to happen.
I thought I will be safe with Hunter forever.
They are taking me to God knows where.
I heard them say their boss.
Oh God.
I guess my fate is in his hands.
Hunter.
Please don't let them kill me.
Where are you?
I am sorry for being a bad girl.
I promise to change.
Just come and rescue me.
Please.
************************************
Time passed and we are infront of a massive black gate.
The driver pressed the screen attached to the fence wall, making the gate open slowly.
A path way in-between trees came to view. We drove in and along the pathway till we got to a very big white mansion that looks like Disney castle.
Better than Disney castle.
I could call this heaven.
Gosh.
The driver stopped in front of the building. We all got out of the car.
The two actually grabbed me out aggressively.
Their grip on my both arm is hurting.
I can't help but whimper to the pain.
My tears is relentless.
Seth walked ahead of us and we follow behind as we climbed the staircase leading to the entrance door.
We walk pass some women on maids attire. I lock my teary eyes with one that looks my age but the men dragged me away.
My heart beat increased.
Inside the mansion was magnificent.
White and high ceilings with chandeliers. The floor is black tiled and smooth. This mansion must have a hundred rooms.
We head towards a room that looked like a hall.
"East!"
I heard Seth call.
The next thing I know, the men push me ahead aggressively making me fall on the cold floor.
I whimper feeling the pain on my ribs. Sky let out a whimper too cause the fall made him slip off my hands. I bring him to me as I looked up slowly with my teary.
Cold shivers washed me the minute I sight what is in front of me.
The scariest man I have ever seen.
I thought Seth was the scariest but no. This man.....this man seems like the devil himself.
He must be their boss.
He is seated on an head chair and their is woman on black leather jump suit standing on his right. Her hair is black a bit long.
I clung on Sky as I stood under the mercy of this scary man.
He is looking at me with a blank face and my bladder is reacting. I look down feeling so terrified to death.
God he is super scary!
Hunter save me please.
"What the fuck is this?" He spoke up. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine.
"That's his girlfriend" Seth said.
"Excuse me?"
"We couldn't find him East" Seth said.
The boss chuckled.
It sounded like those horror movies Hunter use to watch.
Oh God.
"I sent you and the boys to go get me that bastard." His voice is calm but carried a lot of terror.
"And you fucking bring me, the bitch he fucks!"
I flinch to his loud tone.
"I told him boss" Diego said. "I wanted to kill her but he stopped me."
East scoffed. "Why the fuck did you stop him?"
"She is not the one you want" Seth said.
"Then why did you bring her?"
Seth sighed. "At least we can hold something that belongs to him"
"Can you fucking hear yourself Seth? I don't fucking want what belongs to him. I want that bastard. I prefer you kill him and then everything that belongs to him"
My heart is beating so fast right now. My tears just can't stop coming out.
Seth starts speaking to the boss in their language. They talked for some minutes before I sense feet approaching me.
My heart increased at every step as I shift on the floor.
It's the boss.
I didn't dare look up.
Next I felt his strong hand tugging my hair.
I whimpered out in pain. He made me stand on my feet, making Sky slip off my hands again.
"Where the fuck is your boyfriend you slut?!"
I have never felt so scared in my life.
"I..I don't know.... please..."
"Your good for nothing boyfriend owes me a lot of money." He snarled" My eyes are closed cause I can't look at him.
"Now instead of paying me back, he decides to do worst by stealing from me."
I am a shaking mess right now. "I...I am sor...sorry ple...please "
He scoffed "Your sorry is of no use to me. Your boyfriend is going to pay me every single fucking penny he owes and stole"
I cried silently as I felt his grip tighten more on my hair.
"In the meantime, you will be staying here till he pays me."
I froze.
"Then I will kill him. And kill you too"
My stomach dropped.
"Consider yourself a collateral." He said as he released my hair aggressively.
I let out a whimper. Now I am a sobbing mess.
"Lock her up" he ordered.
"No please! No!" I hopelessly pleaded as the men dragged me away.
Sky ran after me.
Hunter..... don't leave me here .
Please.
SethArghhhhh!""For the last time Patrick, who are you working for?" I asked for the hundredth time and this fucker still doesn't to give me an answer. "No one..... please....stop" he cried reacting to the pain I am inflicting on him.He is tied up to a chair, has no shirt on but trousers and blood is filled on his body. That's because I am hitting him with one of my favourite toys that looks like a cane but it is a metal one. It can cause a very agonizing pain.But I guess it isn't causing enough because this idiot has refused to talk!"Let's just kill him already Seth" Diego who is standing beside us said."No we need to know who sent him first" Martin said."But we have been torturing him for almost an hour now and he has refused to speak. Bury some bullet in his head already " Diego said. "No please!" Patrick cried."Diego can you for once stop thinking about your gun?" I asked glaring at him, making him keep calm.I look back at Patrick. His eyes are swollen up as a result of
But he prefer being called East. That is because he would always head towards the east side of the streets to hide whenever the cops were after him. They never looked for him there because the east was a set apart area at that time. No one dared to go their. Not even the police. Everyone was scared about that place.The east part of Alberto street.A dark mystery was behind that place.But East went there one day because he had no choice. He couldn't afford getting caught by the police.Another day again, he went there.Then another.And another.Till he made the place his secret liar.He loved the place. I guess the place loved him too cause all the things we believe to happen to anyone that goes there, never happened to him.We have heard rumours about people that died or was struck with sickness after going there.But nothing happened to East.He named himself East.He hated the name, Alessandro.Mainly because it was our mother that named him.He hates her so much.Way more that I
CoraI remember it like it was yesterday.Flash back********************I was running as fast as I could. I never knew I could run like this. But I guess when it's about life, your legs can carry you beyond your expectation.All I could hear was,"Get her!"Voices of the security men here and there. I can't tell how many were after me because I didn't dare look back.I kept running.My heart was beating incredibly fast. The thought of getting caught was giving me terrifying chills.I ran till I entered the road, appearing in front of an approaching blue car making the driver stop with impulse and few inches close to me. He almost knocked me down.I was beyond terrified.I stood there, lost into space. I saw my life flashing before my eyes. I can't even move my feet. Next I felt someone touch my shoulder, snatching me out of my trance.I look at him. He is tall and handsome. His blue eyes are so pretty that it took my worries away for a moment. His two hands are on my shoulders and
I am still not looking at him but I am so terrified by his presence."You will be working for us till that sick bastard boyfriend of yours pay me back what he owes me." He said coldly.Why would Hunter owe such a man money?!"You have two months collateral " He said making me froze..Two months for wha....."After two months and your boyfriend doesn't pay, I will kill you" he snarled.My heart dropped."East..." Seth called."So pray that he comes before that two months is due." He said, ignoring Seth.Two months? Oh no.No."Give her a room"I sense the woman give a slight bow before dragging me out of the room.He words sang in my head.Two months!Two months to work here till Hunter pays.From the look of things, he must be owing these people a lot of money. And I don't think Hunter has it. That means I have just two months to live!Two months!Oh God help me.I want Hunter.Send him to me like you did before please!Don't ignore me God please!We got to a door where the woman kn
Cora"Come in"I reluctantly entered his house. It's a mini flat, very comfortable and homely."Welcome to my home" he said as he closed the door behind us.I couldn't stop admiring the simple but nice house. All my life has been at the orphanage. The halls, bonk beds and all, i have always dreamed of being in a proper home. But no one was interested in adopting me.Now I am in this man's house.A stranger's house.A stranger who saved me."Penny for your thoughts?" He snapped me off my thoughts.I shake my head shyly.He chuckled. "Thanks"I furrow my brows in confusion."The look on your face shows you find my house beautiful"I smiled a bit."Come on. I'll show you around" he said leading the way. We went to the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, balcony and all. It is a very nice place. I like it. I like him. He is so nice and tall. And very handsome too.I feel shy and nervous around him.We are presently in bedroom. He is going through his closet and I am just standing there looking a
I quickly picked him up and mouthed sorry to the maid who gave me a bad look.I felt bad but quickly caught up with Lisa. She is walking fast and has her face up high. She doesn't look back at all.Nadia is right. Lisa is a very serious person. I don't think I will ever see her smile.We got to the kitchen."Good morning Lucia" Lisa greeted and I see a woman that look like she is in her late twenties or say early thirties, dressed in a white attire and a hat meant for chef.Oh I have dreamt of wearing those."Oh good morning Lisa. How was your night?" She said smiling brightly.It gives me a feeling that she might be nice."Fine thank you. This is Cora. New here" Lisa said."Oh""She will be working as your assistant"Lucia smiled at me."Go...good morning ma'am" I greeted nervously."Beautiful morning my dear. It is good to have an assistant! The kitchen is becoming chaotic these days" She said as she shook my hand."I can imagine" Lisa said. "Well the boss gave a strict instruction
EastSeated on my bed, popping out smoke. It's seven in the morning, the day is super bright, the sun is entering my room through the fucking windows. It's beautiful. But I hate it. I hate the sun. I hate it this morning, mainly because I am fucking pissed. Last night I called Mona, she gave me a fucking excuse. Like what the fuck? That bitch thinks I can't get a new girl on my bed in a second. Sucking on my big cigar, I blew out smoke. Morning smoke is the best. It awakes all the organs in the body. Tells them it's morning already. Standing on my feet, I walk towards the windows. The maids are doing their work, some of my men are busy with their morning training. It's a new day. And a busy schedule. My brother is out with Diego and Martin to take care of something. Some bastards had to invade one of my warehouses in Mexico. I am sure they are dead by now. I don't trust Seth with his gun. He has that human sympathy that pisses me off all the
I head out to the dinner table for breakfast. I am in a black pants and wine colour long sleeve shirt. The sleeves are a bit rolled up, three buttons of my shirt are open exposing my chest. My hair is styled to the back a bit and I have few strands out on my forehead. Getting to the dinner table, my brother and the others are seated already. "Good morning boss" all said. "Morning. Just in time for breakfast" I said as I take a seat on my head chair. We talked as the maids came in with our food. It's pancakes, bacon, eggs and glass of milk. Taking a fork into my mouth, I recognised Lucia's cooking instantly. She knows better than to go contrary to my instructions. Done eating, we decided head out. "What about the discussion with the Chinese, Seth?" I asked as we walked along the hallway.I am in front and my men are behind following me. "Getting to a conclusion" Seth said. "What's taking so long?" I asked."They seems to be having double mind in doing business with us." I
"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
