Bianca who was in shock with her jaw dropped, saw her mum lifeless body on the floor, became a bit conscious and aware of her surrounding and what she had been doing.
She ran to meet her mum but her dad kept on shooting with anger. She had to flee, she kept on running until she was sure that she was out of sight from her dad.
She boarded a taxi to the nearest train station, not knowing where she was heading, she just needed to leave this town far away from her father. Instead of taking her to the train station the cab man took her to a lonely place, robbed her of all her properties before leaving her on the road.
She was still drunk but tried her best to stay alert and aware of her surroundings. While she was walking at the end of the dark lonely road, she kept crying profusely.
It was difficult for her to admit that her mum was dead, she was in a woebegone state.
"I'm sorry mum, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean for all these to happen. I never wanted you dead mum, not you" her sobbing was becoming louder." If only there was someone around to comfort her but unfortunately there wasn't anyone."I wished it was dad that died tonight, why was it you mum ? why? You should have just allowed me to die, why did you save me and died in my place?"
She felt a sharp pain on her feet which made her realized she had been walking barefooted, but she didn't care, not even about the fact that she was robbed about few minutes ago, all she kept on thinking about was her mum's death which was literally her fault.
She wobbled while she walked, showing no blithe regard for any possible danger around her.
There was no sign of any human around, all she heard were just sounds of birds, the waves from the tree leaves caused by the cold wind that was blowing that night.She heard a far siren sound, she could also hear music playing, probably coming from a club very far, but she wasn't sure and there was no sight of any club around.
She was starting to feel dizzy, her head ache terribly due to the effect of the alcohol and the fact that she had been crying. She staggered while she walked, completely out of this world.Bianca couldn't walk anymore, her eye sight was beginning to depreciate, everything she saw was blur, unknown to Bianca there was a bump ahead of her.
She hit her leg and fell, hitting her head so hard on the floor.
She twitched in pain, for a moment she thought she was dead or about to die. She didn't want to die now even though her mum was dead, she still had her long lost older brother, her mum has always told her about him, she needed to see him before she dies. After few seconds she lost consciousness.
***************************************************************** "Cassio, it's not my fault that Skylar had to die, you did calm your nerves and stop burning in anger, if not you would be telling everyone that you are weak and not fit to be a Mafia leader. " I don't want to be a Mafia leader, I never wanted to right from the moment I saw you kill your own brother at the Mafia's yearly party, because of some stupid position. I was only 5 when you killed my mum's brother who was my favourite uncle and today you and your stupid Mafia crew killed my best friend." Cassio retorted at his dad raging in anger.His best friend had just be killed.and he was in a devastating state, he regretted taking her along with him, if only she hadn't insisted on going to the party with him she would have still been alive.
He could remember the look on her face just before she was slaughtered, it will forever remain a nightmare to torture him, a memory that would continue to hurt him all through the days of his life.
Flash back
"Skylar go home, I am attending this damn mafia's party with my dad and it's kindda compulsory so see you tomorrow"Cassio said bringing out a brown shoe from the shoe rack, he was going to wear for the party this night.
"Ohh no! Wait Cassio don't wear that, I don't think it going to suit your outfit dummy. "You don't even have any bit of fashion sense" Skylar said going through his shoe rack, she took out a black shoe with a little bit of golden pattern on the front.She handed the shoe to Cassio which he rejected, preferring the brown he had taken but Skylar forced her way into his head and he had no other option but to wear the black.
People usually wonder how Skylar always made Cassio do things he doesn't want to do as they all knew him to be a tough, arrogant and fearful person.
"Fine I'm going to wear it, just go home now please, I would call you when I get back later tonight then you can come back if you want " Cassio said to Skylar running his hands through his hair." But I haven't even said I was going geeez, you are so mean" Skylar cackled while she went to Cassio and started kneading his back."No don't do that, I know where all this is leading to, I have told you already no, you ain't going please don't insist" Cassio replied moving hastily away from her." Well, I want to go Cassio, just let me please. I promise you nothing is going to go wrong." Skylar ran to Cassio patting his head gently. " The last time I went with you nothing happened remember?Some people even thought I was part of the Mafias, you underestimate me you stubborn child" Her voice became hoarse "So just chill my overprotective big baby. I will be bored at home" She said with a very gentle and sweet voice and she cackled again.
" Arrrgh, Stop that, just stop." He said looking at the mischievous smile she was putting on. "Skylar I hate you so much, why don't you leave me just go away forever. I'm tired of you and your naughty tricks" Cassio guffawed,while he headed to his wardrobe to select the cloth he was going to wear. " I hate you more and you know that right? Ass hole" Skylar was laughing boisterously as she kept on insulting him. Cassio ran to catch her while she kept on running roumd the table screaming. "No matter how you shout, no one is going to save you from me, I am surely going to cut those mouth of yours " Cassio said loudly. They were making a whole lot of noise, they didn't even noticed when the door pushed open. Cassio's dad entered , with a disappointing look on his face, they paused immediately looking at each other before looking back at him. " What is going on here, why are you two making noise uhh?"Cassio dad asked without getting any response from them as they still stood like stick, looking at him " Skylar you didn't go home again, you slept in my son's room. What's wrong with the both of you? When will you learn to grow up? " his dad continued . "I need you downstairs now Cassio, you have 5 seconds and Skylar go home now" He said while he leaving the room.
" Hm dad, I am going to the party " Skylar said as she looked at Cassio who was frowning." We talked about this Skylar" Cassio whispered. " Suit yourself Skylar, all I want you to do now is to go to your house" Cassio's dad said before slamming the door. "You see I told ya, I would be going now and will be back later in the evening for the party. Aurieover! " Skylar winked at Cassio before running off." I don't want you to go, please" Cassio said putting his hand on his mouth, shouting on top of his voice and smiling at the same time.END OF FLASH BACK " I warned you, not to come along Skylar. I had a feeling that something was definitely going to go wrong, this people are dangerous, they are heartless monsters who cares about money and power putting their family last in everything they do" Cassio said a loud angrily with a hoarse voice. " I won't allow you speak like that, you had better mind how you talk" " I have had enough, dad! I have had enough of always listening to you, being so obedient to all your evil instructions. Cassio interrupted his dad, talking back at him for the first time. His dad was speechless not knowing what to say. " Stop the car, I said stop the car before I burst out your brain!" Cassio shouted at the driver with tears rolling down his cheeks, out of fear the driver had no option but to stop the car. " What are you about to want to do? " His dad asked without getting any response. Cassio looked at him and opened the door without responding. " Cassio where the hell are you
Cassio got up to leave again but was held back by his dad men out of annoyance he punched of them on his face and it resorted to a fight, his dad didn't ask them to stop, instead he stood there watching them like he was hoping for something to happen. He saw a gun on the floor, he picked it up immediately and shot three of the men while the other two tried to run but he still shot them. The doctor had hid himself under the bed when the fight began. Then he turned to look at his dad with rage, hatered, anger, his fist shaking as he tried to control himself, his dad stood there looking at him with his two hands inside his pocket. Cassio threw the gun on the floor and left, he had become hard hearted to anything and anyone, unlike before the only person that calms his nerve was Skylar and now she is dead, not just dead she was murdered. The only person he loved and cared for was murdered. Now nothing can stop him from killing anybody that get in his way or even bother him, he j
"Are you feeling better today? " Ma'am Benita asked sitting on the egde of the bed, running her hand through Bianca's hair gently. " I have questions to ask, if you don't mind answering me because everything seems confusing " Bianca said looking at the ceiling. Ma'am Benita looked at her, smiling again. " I know you have questions dear and I am going to honestly answer all your questions. Firstly you were brought in here three days ago by our boss, the leader of the most dangerous Mafia in Italy they are called the Red Dragons. I don't mean to scare you though" She said and the smile on her face vanished. The name kept on ringing bells in her head, never had she thought that she will end up in the house of the Red Dragons, her father's greatest enemy. " You were left to die after, we found out that you were bleeding internally but I saved you" Ma'am Benita continued. " Okay ma'am , thanks for saving me. I really appreciate but can I go now? " She asked knowing that she might
By the time Bianca and the other maids were done with the clean up it was already daybreak. Bianca and elvis had been talking all through and now they left together. Bianca noticed that Elivis never said anything about ma'am Benita which she wanted, she was curious to know why she was being treated differently from other maids and what made her so special to ma'am Benita. While they were leaving she took up the courage to ask Elivis. " How about ma'am Benita? She is the only person you didn't talk off" Bianca said as she turned to look at me and shaked her head. " You will find out yourself, all I can is that you should enjoy the treatment you are receiving now" Elvis said and increased her pace, making Bianca to also increase her's. Immediately ma'am Lauretta saw Bianca, she came to give her a tight hug, leaving her two hands on Bianca's buttocks. Elvis give her a shreak before leaving the kitchen, Bianca noticed that ma'am Benita with some other maids were preparing breakf
Ma'am Benita was surprised when she saw Bianca running back towards her with tears on her cheek. She left what she was doing immediately and ran to meet Bianca, when Bianca finally got to her, she couldn't talk instead she kept on crying . Although ma'am Benita knew what must have happened, she wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. "I..I..I hm" Bianca wasn't able to speak because she was still in shock, she couldn't believe she watched her colleague get raped and was almost raped herself. Ma'am Benita thought it would be wise if they go to the room, she held Bianca's hand while the walked slowly to the room. Some maids who were not doing anything at that moment were in the room discussing but she sent them out and they left immediately. "Bianca, what's wrong? Talk to me" Ma'am Benita said to Bianca, who was resting her head on ma'am Benita shoulder. Ma'am Benita kept on patting her back gently assuring her that everything was going to be fine, and it was helping because B
Bianca had run to hid in the store, she didn't even know where the others went because of the way in which they scattered while running for their dear lives. For some minutes, the whole place was calm again and no further noise were heard. She turned the door knob slowly, opening it to see if the others had come out from their different hiding spot but she didn't see anyone so she closed the door and remained back. She rested her back on the door though she was restless and afraid of what might be going on or what will even happen next. She wrapped her arms around herself and left the door, walking round and round on the same spot, by now tears were close to dropping but she was resisting. Bianca was still wondering what was happening when a flash question pop into her head, the tears she had been holding unexpectedly began to drop. She began to hear footsteps and ran back to hid behind a large cupboard which was ever to help her frim being seen. "Oh, has Cassio and his father
Bianca kept on calling on the guards to change her cell, but they shouted at her and threatened to kill her if she doesn't keep her mouth shut. Out of fear bianca restrained from shouting, instead she took a step back again this time biting her lips, she moved slowly and sat in one corner of the floor, her eyes had become moist but she tried as much as she could to fight the tears which was close to dropping. "Why does my life sucks" She whispered and hot tears dropped on her cheek, she tried to cleaned it off immediately but more kept on dropping and all her efforts to wipe them in order to stop crying, was futile. She turned to look at the man who had being quiet since he had been there. From the look of things, he had been in here for long as his body was so dirty. One thing Bianca hoped for was to be release soon. When she was tired of crying she began to sniff loudly, mumbling some inaudible words. " Can you stop ugh? You are disturbing my peace please. No matter how you c
" Where did they take you to?" Bianca asked him but he didn't give her any reply and Bianca didn't bother to asked him again because, it seemed like he doesn't even want to talk to her but she was only trying to make the place more lively. Bianca didn't even know when night came because the whole place was dark, but when she began to feel cold and she noticed that everywhere was quite she knew that it was night already. Some people were already fast asleep and were snoring loudly which infuriated Bianca who couldn't sleep because of the blood suckers called mosquitoes hovering around her, making some bugging noise in her ear, while some of them were biting her. Sadly there was nothing like blanket in there so she could cover herself so she kept on clapping her hands, slapping her self and scratching her body all because of the horrible mosquitoes. " This place is hell" She whispered and tears began to drop from her eyes rolling down to her ear. She tried to know if Thomas was also sle
"What's happening here?" Cassio demanded with his eyes fixated on his cousin, while waiting for a response.Bianca saw the almighty Donald finally trembling in fear. She seized the opportunity to put on her clothes properly. After picking her shirt from the floor, she noticed her shirt was torn.She took a glance at Cassio to see if he was staring at her, but he wasn't. Still on only her brassiere, she quickly bent down and picked her Apron and use it as a covering instead. Bianca walked towards Cassio and stood behind Cassio, while looking at Donald fearlessly. She stood there lost in her thought, thinking about what would have happened if he had succeeded. She couldn't imagine herself baring him a child.She didn't even know when Cassio shouted at her to leave the room not until he stood at her front, facing her this time with his hands crossed around his chest and shouted "I need privacy!" "Ugh? Hm, okay, okay."Bianca's heart skipped as she came back to reality. After taking
Bianca later came out from her hiding place, after she heard her mum crying and shouting her name. Her mum was surprised and happy to see Bianca, she just lost her first child, she wouldn't be able to bear it if she had also lost her daughter. By now, her dad was in the hospital being attended to while her aunt was in the mortuary. Ever since Bianca's father came back from the hospital, his attitude toward Bianca changed. He hated her so much and blamed everything that happened on her. Two years later Bianca's mum became pregnant which was against her will but after lot of therapy sessions she did. Her dad had hoped for it to be a boy but it was a girl. Bianca was happy to have someone she could talk and play with. The only problem was that Bianca's father hated her and sisters. That was why he killed her for no reason. End of FlashbackThomas was stunned by and confused by Bianca's new attitude, could it be that she was really his sister? There was only one way to find ou
"Thomas? My brother?" Bianca said aloud unknowingly which made Thomas turn and looked at her closely putting on his shirt. He noticed Bianca's eyes were moist and she looked frightened like she had just seen a ghost. Thomas looked round in order to be sure that Cassio wasn't any where around the vicinity, because he might be the reason why she is like this. When he didn't see Cassio, he looked back at Bianca and asked her what was wrong but she wasn't able to move her lips talk more of saying anything as she was still in shock. " Where are you from? " Bianca asked him instead, he stepped back a bit, wondering why the she asked all of a suddenly. She stared at his mouth, waiting for an answer while Thomas was also staring at her in confusion, hoping that Bianca would just hand the paper to him so he could leave. "I said where are you from? " Bianca asked again moving forward to raise his shirt up, but Thomas stopped her thinking she was out of her mind. On seeing how des
"Where is the paper? I know you are with it, so safe your self the trouble by giving it to me now" Thomas said, still holding Bianca's hand. Bianca wasn't ready to give it the paper yet, no until she has succeeded in blackmailing him to take her along with him but now she was in a complicated situation. Her silence was making Thomas more angry as he running out of time. "Look at me, I need you to say something, just talk" Thomas held Bianca's shoulder, shaking her lightly just to be sure that she was with him and had been hearing what he was saying. "Yes I'm with it "Bianca finally got to courage to tell him, a light smile appeared on his face and he seemed relief now. " But I don't plan on giving it back" The smile on Thomas' face vanished suddenly, turning into a frowning angry face. He moved closer to her and dragged her by her collar, asking her to repeat herself just incase he didn't her clearly. "I said, I am not giving it back to you" Thomas looked at Bianca in a very hosti
Thomas helped Bianca in getting the bread and she rushed it hungrily, eating like an animal that hasn't eaten for years. He was disgusted but stayed cool, he went ahead to get her a cup of water and she nodded her head in appreciation as she wasn't able to talk because of the large quantity of bread stucked in her mouth. Thomas waited till she was done and turned to leave her after telling her to head back to her room. " You really don't know me? " Bianca asked him the moment he was about to leave and he stopped and turned to look at her, sliding his right hand into his pocket. "Even if I do, what difference does it makes ugh? Beside I don't know you, I only saw you in the cell, that doesn't mean we know each other. We have only seen each other not knowing each other. Save yourself the trouble by not knowing me, that's a warning" He said removing his hand from his pocket to open the door, a paper fell out and Bianca tried to call him but he was gone, she didn't want to shout his
Bianca woke up and found herself still on the floor, she tried to stand up but notice she was still weak. The light were out and she could hear the snores of some maids, they were all sleeping. She was so hungry and the only thing that could give her strength at the moment was food. She wasn't sure of where Jenny could be at the moment, but she needed to head to the kitchen to search for something to eat, even if it mean that she was to stagger her way through or drag herself on the floor. She was so determined to get to the kitchen to eat at this ungodly hour, but her greatest fear was getting to the door only to find out that it was locked. " But there is definitely no harm in trying right?" She whispered to herself. Bianca tried to stand up severally but she wasn't able, she sat on the floor and began to cry, the room was also dark and she couldn't find her way to the door. Luckily someone turned on the light in the hallway and it reflected inside the room through the open space
"Where do you think you are going? You can run away from me, I keep telling you that" Cassio's cousin said frowning his face at Bianca before laughing out loud. Bianca was still struggling to free herself from him but was unable to, she had no other option but to bite him on his arm deeply. He groaned in pain and immediately, letting go of Bianca which made her to lose balance and fall. She sat on the floor looking at him with fear as she kept on moving backwards, dragging herself on the floor. Bianca was so weak to walk nor run to the door, all she hoped for was that someone should come to her rescue before he recovers from the pain he was going through at the moment. He turned his head swiftly, anger flashing all over his face as he gazed at Bianca whose heart began to beat very fast. She could literally feels her heart in her mouth already while she tried to hurriedly get to the door still dragging her self on the door. Her lips began to quiver and tears began to drop from he
TWO WEEKS LATER**********************"You, come out" Cassio pointed at a middle aged man with tattoo all over his body, kneeling before Cassio, his dad and cousins. All the prisoners, including Bianca was kneeling on the floor with their hands to tied to their back as they were selected to be sold to human traffickers. Cassio picked them one after the other, some were sent back to the prison while some were to work in the mansion. It finally got to Bianca turn and she asked to lift up her head which she did slowly and the first person her eyes met with was Cassio's cousin who gave her a mischievous smile. Cassio wasn't able to recognize Bianca, he selected her as part of the people to be sold. Bianca heart began to beat fast and she became scared. "It is better to remain here than to be sold out" She thought. Bianca has heard of girls who were being trafficked, majority were use as prostitute, she would rather die than to be used as a prostitute. She was about to beg Cassio when she
" Where did they take you to?" Bianca asked him but he didn't give her any reply and Bianca didn't bother to asked him again because, it seemed like he doesn't even want to talk to her but she was only trying to make the place more lively.
