~ MIA ANTHONY~
“Let me introduce myself…” "My name is Mia Anthony, the first child of Mr Hodor and Maria Anthony and I am twenty two years old...." “I love you already,” Mrs Douglas squealed excitedly, “Please Mia, come help me in here,” she said. I just got a coffee job downtown not too far from my house, though I got this job through Madam Anita; a very close friend of Mrs Douglas and my father's co-worker. “Hello Mia, I got a job downtown for you; it's a coffee shop managed by my friend and she would need a little hand to assist, hope you wouldn't mind?” Madam Anita had asked me one afternoon when I came back from school, I didn't even think much because I needed money, especially while I was in my final year in college. "Yes Mrs Anita,” I responded immediately and the next day, hopefully, I didn't have lectures so I went with madam Anita to the friend's shop and surprisingly, that was my best coffee spot. I never knew the owner was a close friend of madam Anita. "Douglas, this is the pretty girl I told you about and she's Mr Hodor's daughter" Mrs Anita had said when she initially took me to the cafe spot. "Oh my! You're such a pretty girl. How are you?” Mrs Douglas , she muttered. "I'm fine ma'am." "That's good but don't worry pretty, call me Douglas, it's fine by me. So what's your name?” “Thank you Mad.... Oh sorry, Douglas," I uttered, followed by a small chuckle. “Let me introduce myself....” After the introduction, I joined Mrs Douglas, though we didn't talk about the pay or my schedule for work because I believed Mrs Anita must have told her about me being a student. Thankfully, I know how to make great coffee with top notch designs. Don't ask how I knew, my mum ran a coffee shop before she died but it had to close because nobody was able to manage it and I was just thirteen then. Shaking myself from the awful memory, I focused on making the coffee to go give madam Anita as ordered by Mrs Douglas. "You know how to make good coffee, I wouldn't be surprised, your mum made great coffee too." Mrs Anita said with a small smile and I was satisfied she loved it. I mean, it's been over many years since I made coffee like this. The first customer order was from an African couple. I went to them, collected their orders and made two cups of beautiful latte design coffee. I'm sure they would love it and they did. My first day at work was getting interesting. While I was at the counter, Mrs Douglas came, spoke to me about my schedule and the pay which was fair. I heard the loud ring of my phone from my purse as I went to pick it up. It was a call from my dad. “Hello papa,” I greeted. “Mia amore, can you come home now?" "Like now? Is there a problem papa? I am at work,” I asked confusedly, my voice small. “Ermm.... Mia amore, I know but there really is no problem, but there would be if you don't make it down here on time, please" My papa pleaded and from his tone, I knew it's not a good cause so I took an excuse from Mrs Douglas which she granted without any second thought. I took the next available taxi to the house. At the front of our small gate were cars lined up neatly and I wondered. I counted the cars and there were like about eight. They weren't just cars, there were expensive cars. Who would have come with so many cars to our tiny abode? Do we have visitors? My head reeled with questions. As I went in, My father was sitting terrified and at the corner of the small parlour was my brother, Caleb who was hauled beside Miss Milan, our amiable babysitter turned stepmother. “Dad! Mum! What's going on?” I stepped in, moving around the house. I counted ten men, all, clothed in black, looking stuffy and scary. Seeing that none of my family could answer, I decided to ask one of the black clothed monster looking guys behind me. "What's the meaning of this and why are you all here,” It was as if I spoke to a ghost; blank, nobody spared me a response. I stared at them, my face scrunched in anger, and maybe fear. I knew immediately these people weren't en't to be messed with but why my house? And what are they here for? Was all swirling in my tiny head but before I could go crazy again, I heard a very masculine voice speak. The deepest I have ever heard. "I am here to collect what's mine.” What's yours? The voice was so defiant, so sure, so captivating. Uh! I gasped as I turned quickly behind. Here, I saw the most mesmerized being ever. He was walking down our stairs with his blue eyes weaving directly into mine.” I was enchanted, until his voice broke my reverie. “Isn't young miss saying anything? I thought you wanted to know why we're here" The beautiful man said. “What do you mean? I stuttered. Initially I didn't know the severity of this gathering but coming to my senses and seeing the evil smirk on his face, I suddenly realized this wasn't a good situation to drool over a man considering how terrified my father was. I ran to my father, who was shaking and guiltily looking at me. "I’m sorry my sweet Mia.” My dad muttered and my curiosity and fear grew. "Sorry for what dad, explain to me clearly, please." I shook him softly trying to know if he had any clue of what was happening. My heart was beating intensely. My dad has been my world for me and my brother ever since the death of my mother, he has strived daily to see we made ends meet. I also remembered how he had gone to look for Miss Milan, our babysitter at her hometown to come take care of us but he later decided to marry her five years ago and I was happy he ended up with her. She was kind and even though she can't replace the void my mum left, she was doing a good job in taking care of my father and even my twelve years old brother. "Well, enough of this, if your father can't speak, I would do that." "Your father is a thief and should pay for the consequences.” Surprised, I slowly looked at the man who I had earlier been enchanted by, looking back at my silly obsession, I cursed myself internally. This time I looked at my father intently. I needed an answer as soon as possible and I want to hear it from him. “Papa, please! Explain.” This time, I spoke with a bit of anger laced in my voice. My father looked me in the eyes with tears at the corner of his, threatening to fall. "What's all this?" I asked no one in particular as I watched my father tear up for real.~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ "Ahhh! Please! please!!” I smirked at the badly bruised, bald haired man as I dangled the sharp edge pocket knife to his face. "How do you want me to chop your fingers? from the pinky or the thumb?" I asked and I could see the fear in his eyes. That's what I wanted. I feed on fears. "Why did you steal from me?" I asked again but got no reply. He yelled in agony as I slid the knife over his pinky. "I will speak! I will speak!" The old man yelled in pain, blood dripped from his finger onto the brown tile floor. “Speak, I don't have the whole day" I uttered angrily, my patience running thin over his attitude. "I was ordered to steal the truck carrying the freshly arrived barail of drugs to X country at the seashore side, after that I would be compensated heavily and my son's surgery and daughter's fees would be paid for. "Who sent you?" "I swear with my family, I don't know, I was only told to drop the truck at X country and I would be settled Immedia
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ The bright rays of light from the window was the first thing I woke up to. Looking around me, I saw the crumpled bed sheet like someone had slept beside me but I couldn't remember sleeping with anyone unless Luca was here last night.When? I couldn't remember anything of last night after my tears dilemma though. I rushed to the bathroom, took a cold shower and God! The shower was one that I have never taken before. Yesterday I was so in a bad state of mind that I didn't even enjoy the view of the bathroom, now I do. After the warm shower, I went to the wardrobe to wear my dress but the moment I opened the wardrobe, I was shocked that I quickly closed the wardrobe. “Oh my God!” I exclaimed as I opened the wardrobe again. In it were beautiful dresses of different colours, styles and taste. I took a purple strapless gown that reached my knee, its waist was embroidered with shiny silver stones and to say this dress was top notch was an understatement. I didn't even
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ “Little Mia.” I heard Luca called from the stairs. That was his new name for me now. He said I reminded him of his cute late pussycat; how funny. I have been indoors since he left this morning. Thanks to my sharp eyes, I saw a book in the closet. I hurriedly dropped the book I was reading, and pretended to be asleep. His heavy steps against the stairs were heard as he opened the door, he walked to the bathroom and came back in a few minutes. I guess he went to take a shower because I could smell the fragrance of his lavender shampoo. "You come down for dinner, and don't be stubborn as this morning because I will come here myself and spank you until you wouldn't have the appetite to eat nothing" He said. After he had left, I released some breath of relief, being in close proximity with him is really suffocating. I quickly left the room. Aside from his threat, I really needed to ask him a few questions before he leaves the dining room again. I went to the
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ I was tossed on the bed without care, though I was not surprised how Luca has held his urges since I came, but at this moment, I just wanted to go home. "Don't come any closer. I will scream, you’re a rapist. I will scream" I let out an anguished wail, moving closer to the edge of the bed. How stupid of me but I still did, I felt I should say something and maybe….. just maybe he would stop. “You will scream?" He asked as he walked slowly to the bed like a predator, of course he is. “And how do you expect to be heard? Well you have no idea but I don't like others hearing my woman moan, I am greedy but shout all you want, no one is coming to save you, besides the room is soundproof.” I felt my voice hitch in my throat. "Now bend over or do you suggest I tie you down?” "I nodded negatively hurriedly, I have at least watched a few series where the woman is been tied during sex and I wonder how painful it can be, I don't know but if it's seemly Interesting but I woul
~ MIA ANTHONY ~He really was cold. How did he expect me to know when not to collapse when he's going all berserk?I sat on the only sofa in the room and looking around, I began to reminisce on what we just did. Does it mean I and Luca have consummated our marriage? But it doesn't feel like it. “Oh my God!” I exclaimed silently, putting my hands over my mouth.Suddenly a lone tear fell off my face. This marriage without love and worse with this devil seem like an unbearable adventure. I thought it was something I could do but realizing how my life would only revolve around the four walls of this castle on this deserted island, I wanted to wail.Knock, knock… I heard the light sound of the door.Swiftly, I wiped my face with the back of my palm, adjusted my dress and rushed to open it. I assumed it was the Doctor Luca spoke about and truly it was.Standing at the door was a very tall man just like Luca, only that it was the older version. I guessed he must be in his Mid- sixties. Wear
~ LUCA VITIELLO ~My little Mia collapsed but I would give her credit because not anyone can take my big cock.“Hello, Doctor Ben. I would like you to do a checkup on my wife and ..... okay ....... please come in a jiffy........”Squashing the cigarettes in the cigar tray, I headed to my study where I needed to evaluate my paper work but walking towards the room, I decided to check on my little Mia.With her body curled to the edge of the bed and the tiny gown she wore, showing her fair skin; I hardened but as much as I wanted her this minute— again, I’m not a menace or maybe I am but too considerate.I walked back to my study and tried doing a little work for my meeting with Mr Sheldon.; a business partner.I got a call from Doctor Peng saying he was at the front door. "Come in, Ben," I said and went downstairs to meet him. "Hi, Luca," Ben said as he shook my hands."It's been a while, how's Rose and the kids?”"That woman won't give me a break, and as for the kids, they are with
~ MIA ANTHONY ~Someone should please tell me I’m doing this right. At 5:10am, I’m awake, stroking my Mafia's devil husband. I'm in a daze and my hands and lips were all I used to make Luca talk sweet nothing.How am I very good at this? And this was my first, but his moans tell me I was doing it right. ••• ••• ••• A loud sound on the door woke me up. Looking around, I found the other side of the bed empty.But was last night a dream? It couldn't be. Seated quietly, I tried to process all that had happened earlier this morning.Very early this morning, Luca had woken me, telling me how horny he was but had to be at the airport in a few hours."For being so obedient and dutiful in your work, you would be resuming school when I'm back, be a good girl and stay within the castle.” He muttered while fastening the belt of his trousers. “The maids here would be at your service but Annette and Bryson would be your close guards.” He added.I had he
~ MIA ANTHONY ~I took the swiftest shower with all the body wash I could find. I walked out of the bathroom and Luca wasn't in the mansion yet.From the window, I saw him engaged in a lengthy talk with Annette and Bryson. Oh! Don't tell me he's giving them some talk over a mere act of just taking a nap by the beach.As I opened the wardrobe, I took out a red bikini. Now that I thought of it, I didn't wear a bikini to the beach earlier.“I can as well make up for it.” I muttered to myself as I walked over to the mirror to arrange my ginger curls.I applied the red lipstick which I haven't worn for ages. Contemplating if I should wear perfume, I outrightly decided against it because the nice smell from all the body wash was still lingering in the air."Welcome sir." I heard the sound of greetings from the staff and Luca's heavy steps against the stairs."Oh shit little Mia!" Why the hell is the light off? I heard him cussed.I didn't like the light on yet, but I switched it on anyway
~ MIA ANTHONY ~"How do you feel?” Luca asked, his hands wrapped tenderly over mine as he spoke. My lips were left hanging.He has held my hands several times when we made love, he had spoken to me but now I don't know— it was different, but then something in me noticed. His demeanor, the way his eyes looked at me as he spoke, they weren't the same. He was truly concerned.Whoa! I never knew Luca could feel emotions like this."Do you feel concerned for me or you just haven't been around sick people in a while?"My question made him swiftly looked me up, even I was shocked too.I shook my head before he responded as if to unsay what I just said."I’m sorry, I’m not just used to you asking how I feel and all sorts of compassionate questions.”"You are sick, who wouldn't be worried?”"I'm not dead Luca. I'm very much alive, just a slight headache, body pain and lack of appetite but I would be fine with some rest.”"Appetite? You haven't eaten?”“I have eaten.” I lied.Right now, I don'
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ "Would you like some tea instead?" Miss Beth, the kitchen head, asked. She had asked almost similar questions for the fifth time, recommending some food I could eat after saying I had no appetite for what they prepared. "No Miss Bethany, how about orange juice instead?" I replied after sitting in the dinning for about three minutes just thinking of what my body wanted and even after that, I didn't see any food that enticed me now except the orange juice that I could manage. "Would just orange juice be enough?” I nodded positively as I watched her leave the kitchen from the periphery of my vision. This morning, I woke up feeling dizzy with a slight headache, took a shower and thought it was just a mere ache but it increased after I was done dressing. Not only that, but I felt nauseous at the slight smell of the food being prepared. "Madam, are you okay?" Edwin asked as he opened the passenger door so I could enter. "Yes." It was a half truth though, I felt a lit
~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ Sprawled freely on the bed was Mia, exhausted. I guess it was from all the earlier emotions. I had made her cry but that’s not what was provoking, it's the fact that I don't understand why I suddenly care, why it bothered me that she constantly cries whenever she's around me. Earlier today, what I said was not something far fetched, it was something she knows well enough. I walked quietly to the bed, sat beside her; closely, wanting to caress those soft delicate lips that were slightly opened, a portal through which she exhales and inhales and now I wish I was the air. My hands unconsciously touched her lips, rubbing it gently. Her lips were full and red like she had a makeover and decided to bless her bed with her beauty. My hands then extended from her lips to her jaw then to her neck until a slight turn of her head jolted me back, my body trembled from the slight act. What’s wrong with me? Suddenly, I shifted back, the distance was like her body was on
~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ After I had left the mansion, I went to the SK brothers bar where Tessy had messaged me for the location of our meeting. Seeing her would make her stop pestering me right? Although I had warned her several times, I assumed she was too familiar with me and thought my threats weren't effective. She must trust our childhood bond too much to be careless. Sincerely, hooking up with Tessy was the last thing I thought of. I went to the booth, it was a VIP booth reserved for the both of us. "Yeah, my love,” she whispered upon my arrival, her chest resting perfectly on the edge of the table so that one could see her cleavage. "Tessy! I am not your love!” I said sternly but she smiled regardless, not even afraid. "Oh come on, you remembered what my dad would say when we were little. We had been good together.” "You know… his words don't hold water, it doesn't matter what he said, we are adults now so how about you stop this delusion, hmm?" I could see her demeano
~ MIA ANTHONY~I just had a steamy moment with him, forgetting in those times the reason why I was in his study at first. After that, we had come back to the room to change our clothes but we didn't talk further, that was when it occurred to me that I was angry with him."Luca, can I ask you something?" I asked, smoothening the short gown I wore."Yes, go on.”"How did you convince the Vice chancellor to become my personal tutor?" I asked the question that has been on my mind for a long time but never got the chance."It's easy to convince people with money, so money convinced him.” Now I was wondering, if it was as he just said then the money given to the Vice Chancellor must have been a very huge amount of money."But does he know I'm married to you?”"No, he doesn't.”"Then what did you say to him? He doesn't ask me questions.”"It's because he knows when and what to ask.”"Okay,” I replied, even though I didn't clearly understand. Doesn't the VC have questions reeling in his hea
~ LUCA VITIELLO ~Edwin had just shown me a picture and the he-goat that had the gut to put his hands over what belongs to me? A light chuckle filled the empty room. “Okay” I muttered through the phone before hitting the end call buttonMy hands hovered over the screen, ‘My little Mia.’ displayed boldly at the top of it.“Hello.”“How do you want me to cut the hands over your shoulder? Dangling or amputated?” Without the chance for an explanation, I ended the call, my head laid back on the soft pillow beneath.Today, I came back earlier than usual. Someone had stolen the items which just arrived from Russia, the weapons shipment I spoke about, just weeks after a sneaky note was sent to me. "Watch your back, I would hit where it hurt most,” was sent to me to my office by an unknown name holder; how ridiculous, but I don't feel right knowing my security team were as weak as a worm under the sun. I had sent my minions to investigate, yet no trace, coupled with the idea of someone out
~ MIA ANTHONY ~Edwin's head bowed in acceptance, he wasn't even denying that he snitched on me.The ride to the mansion was quiet, this time, there wasn't even the sound of the passing air. I called Luca several times but he wasn't picking. He's ignoring my calls.Here I was worried that Edwin would always be in the car waiting for a grown up like me to finish lectures, little did I know he had been busy keeping an eye on me."You snitched on me last time right?”"Hm." Was his curt response. Annoying."How much did you tell Luca the last time you snitched?”"Nothing much, I just told him there was this dude that's always staring at you, and that's all. Believe me ma, I had no other option, it's either I do as I was told or I pay dearly for not doing it.”Yes it's not his fault I know, who can dare go against the mighty Luca but I was still angry at him too and the fact there would always be someone to keep an eye on me doesn't sit right with me. When I thought I was free from the con
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ I don't know how to feel about last night. After my idea of trying to escape got ruined, I couldn't believe it in the end. I was the demanding one. Yesterday's sex was the best for me so far. Luca was different yesterday, rough yet gentle. Now I can't believe I was craving for more by just thinking about it. I woke up to an empty bed again. I didn't know what he does aside from being a Mafia Lord importing and exporting illegal products but maybe being a Mafia was all kinds of many things, guess it can be exhausting especially when you are the leader right? I rushed to the bathroom, the green soft brush moved quickly against my teeth and while I wanted to take a shower, I saw hickeys from our lovemaking — on my neck, breast, belly and even my arms. After taking a shower, I stood before my closet confused as to what to wear, because help me God I can't let my friends see this. I later decided on a beige turtleneck crop top paired with a brown high waist pri
~ MIA ANTHONY ~ "Meet me in my study.” Luca said, his steps quick as they collide with the floor. I stood fazed in the bedroom as Luca emerged from the bathroom, his hands firmly on the door while he stepped out. Before now, after realizing the situation I've put myself into, I became anxious waiting for his arrival. Of all the times I had always said Luca has no self control, he proves me otherwise. It's been almost more than two weeks and he hasn't tried anything funny until now, and here I was, wondering if he was always waiting for me to pull the string so he doesn't have to be blamed afterwards. I ate my food in absentia, rummaging my brain for any possible way to escape this forthcoming punishment, who knows, he might want to take revenge; leaving me insatiable again after turning me on. I ate quickly, took a very cold shower to release my stiff muscles. My mind was a bit calm from the rushed touch of water against my skin but not completely enough to cause goosebumps on m
