The next day, the same old story repeated itself. Matheus was adamant about not letting her go, while Lincoln stayed updated on the hunt, soon the whole family agreed except Matheus, still after much torment from Molly he agreed and allowed her to go.
"So I can solve this with that assassin instead of Lisaura and get the ring," she thought as the second possibility in case the first one didn't work out.
"Tomorrow early in the morning, you leave, it's the safe hour, Mom! Make sure to dress her in more decent clothes than that rustic low-cut dress, do we have a peasant at home? She can't go like that and look like a male fetish," Matheus asserted.
"What's a fetish?" Molly asked confused.
"That's why you shouldn't go like that," he warned, indifferent.
The sun hadn't even risen yet, and Madson was already up wandering around the house anxiously, her brother was no longer in the room, often she heard noises in the arsenal room they had made in the basement, her brother Caio still slept as well as her mother and father.
She had already changed into pants and a hooded coat to hide her face. On the other side, a distinct metallic sound cut through the silence: the door to the arsenal was opening.
"Are you already up? You must be eager," Matheus commented, bringing with him a small pistol.
"What are you doing?" she asked when she noticed the weapon.
"I was looking for something that suits you, I thought about a grenade, but I think it's too dangerous," he said casually.
"Uh... This is my brother, dangerous to the core, the most hunted assassin in America, that's probably why he doesn't care about death," she thought, looking at him ironically.
"Don't be overdramatic, I don't need a weapon."
"I'll only feel confident if you carry a weapon, and this one is small and discreet."
"Your dark circles look terrible," she analyzed him with concern, "haven't you been sleeping?"
"I can't sleep," he said, stretching, with deep circles under his eyes and a tired expression. "I've been thinking about... getting some fun."
"What are you talking about?" she asked, frowning.
"Nothing you'd understand," he grumbled, pulling her hood over her head, covering her face.
"You're always so cryptic, it's so annoying!"
"Are you both up?" their mother asked as she emerged from the room followed by Lincoln.
"I'm ready to go," she replied firmly.
"Have breakfast first, there's plenty of time," ordered her father, serving her a cup. Once she had her coffee, her brother guided her through an underground passage that seemed to be part of the sewer. He led her out safely, without the hideout being discovered.
They went through a small area of bushes with trees hiding the passage, and then arrived near the road.
"Well, this is where we part ways," Matheus warned, with a serious tone in his voice. "It's supposedly safe, but if anything happens to you, know that our family dies by my hands," he warned her seriously.
"Brother! Stop being crazy," she exclaimed, exasperated. "Nothing's going to happen."
"Wait! I'm not done yet," he warned her, leaving her alone by the roadside. He went to an area behind trees and bushes and within a few minutes returned with a motorcycle. "You know how to ride, use this to get there, and keep the gun at your waist. If something goes wrong..."
"I should shoot without hesitation, I know," she agreed, mounting the bike skillfully as he helped her put on the helmet.
"Yes, you can go," he ordered, then returning to the hideout again.
Madson rode for 15 minutes until she reached the location. It was still calm since it was early, but as she approached the entrance door, she found three shady-looking men who seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Uh-huh... These men aren't from around here," she thought, her heart pounding in her chest. "I suppose they're here because of my mother."
"Hey, girl!" one called out when he saw Molly hesitating to enter.
"Sir..." she replied with a trembling voice as she noticed the leering gaze examining her from head to toe.
"What are you doing here?"
"I work here."
"What's your name?"
"Eloah! But I've never seen you here, can I help?" she asked, mustering courage.
"If you know where the Boss is, we have business to deal with her," he changed his expression suddenly as if thinking of something wicked. Madson thought of her gun, but there were too many of them to kill at once, so she chose to follow.
Chapter 5: Disguising as a ProstituteAs soon as their figures disappeared on the horizon, she dashed towards Lisaura's room. The doorknob almost yielded under the force of her impatient fingers, but the door was locked."I'm coming!" Lisaura alarmed, forcefully opening the door. "Molly?" she exclaimed in surprise, seeing the girl's panicked face, which seemed to have aged years in minutes."What's happening?" Molly asked, entering the room and frantically examining everything. On Eloah's bed, the clothes she would wear were neatly arranged, along with the wig. "Are you meeting this wolf today?""Yes..." Lisaura replied, her voice dragging, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down on her shoulders. "But what are you doing here? The madam fled, and you're risking yourself.""I needed to ask you something," announced Molly without delay, her voice choked with anguish."What do you want?" Lisaura saw the girl's fearful gaze shift to the bed, picking up the wig and staring at the prosti
Chapter 6: First Time in a Man's RoomMolly's heart pounded hard, a drum echoing in her chest. She clenched her fists, focusing on containing the nausea rising up her throat.Curious glances followed her, some laden with disapproval, others merely intrigued. Molly ignored them all, her mind holding only one thought, her goal in sight. A dangerous figure she needed to find at all costs."That pink wig!" exclaimed a gravelly voice, a short man in a white suit and black hat, teeth adorned with gold and expensive rings. His appearance made Molly's stomach churn. "Eloah! What a surprise, come with me, the boss changed rooms this time," he announced, while Molly silently thanked her luck as some men leered at her from head to toe. "When are we going to have fun again? You know I can pay much more than that spoiled Playboy upstairs, don't you?" he asked, leading the way, but Molly only managed a forced smile, and he seemed to expect no response."Uh, the men around here really covet you, but
6.1 Taken by the MafiosoSuddenly, he pulled her up, embracing her from behind. This time she could feel with precision his rigid member brushing between her legs, while his hands held her chin, keeping her face tilted towards the ceiling as she felt his hot breath on her neck. It was as if she was being intoxicated by his scent when it invaded her nostrils, at the same time as he ripped off her intimate piece, leaving her exposed.The fear that he would force her was so intense that she barely noticed he had lingered close to her ear, exhaling his scent. His pupils dilated, and he withdrew his erection, making her breathe a sigh of relief, thinking he had given up. However, he merely turned her around, pulling her onto the bed, sitting her on his lap. Between her legs, Molly could see the top of his flushed member; she squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment—it was the first time she had seen a man in that way."That perfume... Familiar," he grunted, then laid her on the bed, facing
Chapter 7. Finally the ring of freedom."So?" Braston inquired upon his return, finding Molly's icy gaze upon him. The mask still covered her face, intensifying the young woman's repulsion. To her, he was just a pile of muscles, flaunting a tattoo on his arm that stirred nebulous memories in her mind, still indecipherable."I don't know what you want," she retorted, coldly, turning her face away to avoid eye contact."From now on, you can come as often as you like. You know I always pay well," Braston suggested, picking up the envelope from the table and extending it to her. Molly just took it, without any enthusiasm, her fingers brushing his briefly. The envelope would be delivered to Lisaura, who needed the money.At that moment, Molly felt like the dirtiest person in the world. Revulsion ran through her body as she held the envelope, the temptation to throw it in Braston's face was strong. But fear overpowered her, for she knew who that man was."So... I guess I need to leave. How
Chapter 7.1: How to Prevent Pregnancy?"Molly! What happened?" Matheus asked, squeezing her in his arms and immobilizing her."She wasn't well, today she saw a fully tattooed man brutally kill a boy," Lisaura explained, nervously."I told you it was dangerous for you to go! It could have been you in their hands!" he asserted seriously, then releasing her. "I'll change clothes and go downstairs to talk to mom," he announced, returning annoyed to his room."Let's go to the room," Lisaura pulled her into the room where she slept, locking the door. "Tell me what happened," she asked as she sat on the bed and Molly lay on her lap, crying again."Everything went wrong! It was horrible!" she confessed, whimpering."So you didn't get the ring?""I did...""But you didn't manage to give the medicine before it happened? Did he touch you?""Worse..." she confessed, shrinking back."Oh, little girl," Lisaura murmured, moved. "You should have let me go. You were just an inexperienced girl, you did
7.2: The Truth About the Past "Do you still intend to marry Molly off to the sottocapo?" Matheus began the interrogation, his voice heavy with anger. "Yes, until she's married, we won't be able to return to Brazil again. Our whole life is here," Lincoln, their father, replied. "But the most worrying thing is whose ring this is among the three. But that won't matter. As soon as we ensure our departure, we'll hand it over to Tião, and he'll know what to do with it," Caio commented calmly. "I won't allow Molly to be married off like this! She's not a commodity!" Matheus asserted once again. "She's still a young and inexperienced girl. She's a high-value commodity in the market. And don't forget that he signed the contract of ownership of Molly when she was only 15. You have no choice," Lincoln explained coldly, as if he didn't care, while at the same time analyzing Matheus, showing distrust at how he became agitated about this issue, unlike Caio, his middle son. "What?" Matheus asse
Chapter 8: Leaving Without Molly?The girl, restless, rummaged through the room in search of the pill. Frustration set in as she confirmed its disappearance. Suspecting Matheus, panic consumed her. Lying on the bed, she pondered her next steps.Unaware of her crisis, the family was organizing the trip. With a heavy heart, Molly subtracted her passport from her mother's bag. The decision was made: she wouldn't board.With bags packed, excitement hung in the air. "Our letter of euphoria!" exclaimed the mother, adorning herself and her daughter with scarves and sunglasses. Hats completed the masculine disguise.Huddled between Caio and her mother, Molly tried to relax, but tension oppressed her. Matheus's voice, cutting through the silence, announced the approach of the city exit and the meeting with the "pawnshop old man, the man who would be responsible for hiding the precious ring." Destiny awaited them, but Molly's heart pulsed with a new decision she had made."Slow down!" shouted L
Chapter 9: Searching for the Stolen RingBraston woke up, still groggy. His eyes scanned the room as he tried to remember what had happened. A brief memory struck him: Molly holding his hand and pulling something. That's when he realized the ring was missing."Where is it!" he shouted, alone, as he got up and didn't see the girl. He staggered around the bed, still unaware that the ring had vanished. "How did I not realize it wasn't her damn self!" he fell belly-first onto the bed, hands on his temples, massaging the pain. His eyes roamed the bed as he remembered what he saw before passing out."Boss! Everything alright?" one of his guards knocked on the door."What the hell would a virgin girl be doing here!?" he snapped irritably, gathering the sheets and tossing them aside.He tried to search his mind and recognize the girl, but all he could recall was the intimate moment and her scent still lingering on his skin. He closed his eyes, still savoring a bit of her scent, trying to reme
Chapter 93: Closing.Molly and Braston continued their journey to New Orleans. They had their moments of peace, and during their stay, Braston showed her his favorite place, where he creates perfumes, with the master perfumer who taught him how to craft fragrances."So, he’s the one who taught you how to create fragrances?" Molly asked, surprised, as they walked through the luxurious boutique, a truly charming place."Yes, when I arrived here, I couldn’t handle people, not even those I liked, except you. When I met you, I think it was because you were the most innocent and pure thing my hands had ever touched," Braston said nostalgically. "But Chief Pierre taught me how to look at people and imagine what scent would be perfect for them, and then refine it. You were my peach, but it’s been a while since you entered my life, and everything has taken on a different scent. You changed everything. I’m happy to be by your side," he confessed, looking around. Molly, on the other hand, felt u
Chapter 92: Cave‘No…’ he muttered with a grunt, wanting to curse loudly but holding himself back. ‘What the hell do you want? Weren’t you sleeping?’ he asked, clearly annoyed. ‘I was, but I saw you leaving… Everyone left with their partners and it’s just the two of us. Let’s go out together?’ she asked, as he unceremoniously removed her from his back. ‘Go back home!’ he stated, not even looking her in the eyes. ‘And what about what happened at the hotel?’ she insisted, quickening her pace to stay by his side. ‘Nothing happened! I was drunk, woke up the same way I fell asleep, except without my shirt and with my car vomited in. That’s because this little thing, who doesn’t know how to drink, ruined everything.’ He spoke with irritation, but without raising his tone. ‘When are you going to stop treating me like a child? Are you blind?’ Laysa asked indignantly. ‘I treat women like women. I treat children like children. And you need to stop thinking you’re a woman,’ he grumbled, ir
Cap.91: What Happened to Matheus"Matheus had moved in with Mariana, returning to his old house in Russia. He didn’t understand why she chose this destination, the same city where his mother had lived."Why are we here?" he asked, confused."My family lives here, and this is our country. Besides, it's been a long time since you visited your mother's grave, right?" she replied, her tone apprehensive.Matheus had only visited that place once after becoming an adult. His last memory of being there was when he was nine. Now, being back made his heart tighten. Life seemed so unfair, and all of this because of the greed of a cruel man."To think my mother was his woman... And that, in the end, he traded her, reduced her to a mistress. I always judged her, thought she was greedy for wanting a rich man. I remember well... One time, I even yelled at her, just days before she was murdered," he said, his voice choking, as his knees touched the snow-covered ground in front of his mother’s grave.
Cap.90: Beware of him, not me.Cassius hadn't realized that he had held Laysa in his arms the entire night. She had completely passed out, and both of them were drunk. In the morning, no one remembered anything. Cassius was the first to wake up and, to his surprise, found Laysa’s arms wrapped around him, resting peacefully on his chest. For a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face as he gazed at her serene, smiling expression.However, as his eyes traveled down her body, he noticed her shirt was lifted, revealing part of her backside. His conscience weighed heavily on him, and his expression shifted to concern. Discreetly, he pulled her shirt down to cover her better. He sighed in relief when he saw that she was still wearing her underwear. "Thank God nothing happened," he thought. Then, he checked his own clothes and felt even more relieved to see he still had his pants on."Supposedly, she doesn't remember sleeping on top of me. If I move her slowly, she won't notice. Damn it...
Not a Baby Anymore“To think that I love you,” she muttered, crying.“Cut the crap! I already told you, stop saying that bullshit,” he snapped, annoyed.“Look!” Laysa said, pointing at where they were.“I see it, a hotel. So what?” he replied with disdain.Laysa stared at him in disbelief while he laughed incredulously.“No way. The last time I went into a hotel with you, and mind you, it was an apartment, I got arrested. You’re trouble.”“But I’m a woman now, there’s no problem with that. Look at me! I need a shower; this smell is making me sick.”“The mix of booze and vomit is hell, baby girl. That’s your punishment. And I don’t know who put it in your head that you’re a woman.”“What the hell? What do you think I am, then?” she asked, unable to believe what she had just heard.“Look, I’ll take you there, you’ll clean yourself up, and we’ll leave before the cops show up,” he said seriously.Laysa almost jumped with joy, but Cassius kept his distance from her, clearly uncomfortable.H
Chap. 89: Your View of MeCassius stayed on the party floor, not far from the stage where the dancers performed. Francine and the girls were going wild, while he, with a stern expression, kept disapproving of the situation. He was close to his limit, thinking about ending the party with gunfire, but he suppressed the urge with alcohol even though he was responsible for taking the group home.Laysa remained near Francine but didn’t blend in. The poor thing only watched Cassius from afar. After three failed attempts to approach him, she drowned her shame in mixed drinks, even after so many rejections.“Lay, stop staring at that brute! Look at how many hot, handsome guys are around!” Francine shouted, trying to compete with the loud music as she pulled her friend to dance.But Laysa had no enthusiasm for anything.“You don’t understand… I love him… I’m crazy about him!” she confessed, her voice thick with alcohol and emotion.“Look, girl, I’ll be honest,” Francine said, already slurring.
"He pushed me?" Laysa murmured to herself, confused. "But there's only one man who would do that..." she said, while Molly fought Braston and Layane practically assaulted Frederick's chest.Laysa didn't waste time."I knew it! Cassius!" she exclaimed, ripping off his mask and throwing herself at him in a hug.Annoyed, Cassius pushed her away and left the stage without saying a word."What?!" Layane reacted, her heart racing. When she took off Frederick’s mask, he stood up furiously and dragged her off the stage without giving her a chance to react."Layla... what is going on?" Molly asked, her face pale and eyes brimming with tears.Layla just stared at her, full of remorse."Oh, Molly... You were advised not to come." That was all she said before turning her back and jumping off the stage straight into Caio’s arms.Molly looked at Braston, hesitant. Summoning her courage, she removed his mask, and as soon as she saw her husband's face, she nearly fainted."Is this a party?" Braston gr
88: The Sisters’ Punishment"Oh, so Layane went to see naked men?" Frederick asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and anger."But there's still time for you to catch them before the party starts!" Layla assured, anxious about her friends' fate."What do you mean?" Frederick frowned, intrigued."It's only seven o'clock; the dancers don't arrive until eight. You can go now and catch them by surprise!" Layla suggested, clearly uncomfortable."Right now!" Frederick declared, already preparing to leave, but Braston grabbed his arm, thoughtful."Wait, I have a much better idea," Braston said, a malicious smile sparking everyone's curiosity."My wife will have to explain this nonsense to me. A married woman, really? Does she think I'll forgive this? What’s your idea, Braston? Because time is running out." Frederick crossed his arms, impatient."Layla, you're going to take us there. From what I understand, there will only be three men on stage at this party. We'll catch them off guard.""Ge
87: The Final Judgment"Everything is ready. All the suitcases are already downstairs," Cassius announced, carrying his own luggage. The living room was already packed with the belongings of the four men. That night would be the trial, and in the morning, they would leave for Europe.Braston was on the brink of emotional exhaustion, his anxiety eating away at his patience. As a result, he spent most of his time with a closed expression and a distant gaze, almost oblivious to his brothers' conversations."Married life. Ugh!" Cassius spat the words out, noticing Braston’s distracted state and immediately understanding the reason.Braston’s mind seemed dark and turbulent, but he wasn’t the only one in a bad mood."Today is going to be a tense day for the youngest. Let’s get everything organized since he’s convinced that tomorrow he’ll reunite with his beloved. But, honestly, I don’t even want to go. Damn it! Not even with the best investigators can I find my damn wife. If she’s cheating
