THE SECRET OF THE EROTIC NIGHT

The car drive was particularly silent. Rachel kept her eyes on the passing avenues, whereas Vincenzo was busy with his laptop.

She took out her mobile from the bag and saw a few messages from Andrew.

“Inform me after you reach.”

“Don’t forget to use the transmitter to connect with me. Use the picture for reference if you forget.”

“I am always with you. Don’t worry, my love.”

Rachel held the phone close to her heart and cursed Vincenzo for being the bone.

“After you enter, the network will be gone. You can’t contact anyone.” Vincenzo spoke without looking up.

“What? And why?” Rachel asked in her delicate tone.

“This is VS Mansion. Top security is required. Inform me when you need to call someone.” He answered and shut the laptop.

The car stopped in front of a large villa with wide gardens and an enormous pool. Rachel stared in awe at the surrounding beauty. The roses, tulips, and the beautiful fountain sought her attention.

“Will you enter or not?” Vincenzo asked in his usual impersonal voice.

Rachel nodded twice and followed the mafia.

‘This is the call against you. Vincenzo Siemens, I will make you suffer every bit I cried while leaving Andrew.’ Rachel swore and entered the mansion behind him.

Diana was waiting for her child since she couldn’t get to spend much time with him. She ran to Vincenzo, hugged him, and patted his back to showcase her love.

“Mom, I didn’t go to some war. It was just business.” Vincenzo laughed.

Diana smiled, but that curve soon vanished on seeing Rachel.

“Who’s she?” She coldly asked.

“She’s here as Sia’s physiotherapist. She saved her today.” Vincenzo answered.

“Which University did she go to? How’s her lifestyle? Why did she enter this mansion without my permission?” She yelled, proceeding toward Rachel.

“Mom. She came for me. I told him to bring her. She will treat me, mom.” Sia entered the hall in her wheelchair.

“How can she do it when top physiotherapists are still failing?” Diana questioned while kneeling in front of her daughter.

“Mom, I don’t know. The connection I felt with her makes me believe so. Right, Rachel? You will make me walk again, right? Tell her.” Sia frantically answered to win her mother’s heart.

“I don’t know, but I will try my best.” Rachel smiled.

“Mrs. D’Souza? Go and take .her to her room.” Diana ordered.

Rachel turned to follow the staff when Diana stopped her again.

“There are some rules in this mansion that you must follow.

Never say no to anyone here.

Never question anyone randomly.

Don’t try to interfere in our personal lives

Lastly, if you have any problem, inform the staff first.

Rachel bobbed her head again and left with D’Souza. Vincenzo followed them for a special reason.

Entering the room, she was surprised. Looking around, it was the same. The same curtains, the same photo frames, and even the wall hangings. Her feet trembled and fingers fluttered to turn the frames. She created profusely due to the nervousness building up in her.

Vincenzo ordered the staff to leave.

“How’s the surprise? I knew it would be tough to meddle in our lifestyle, so I made it over in your cheap, middle-class style.” He smirked.

Rachel turned around in shock, but her eyes remained glued to the heart frame, which had Andrew’s picture in the apartment where she lived.

Vincenzo followed her eyes and picked up the frame. Rachel’s breath became heavy, and she felt dizzy.

“It’s someone special I see. Who’s she?” Vincenzo asked?

Rachel was tightly clutching her dress. She was relieved to hear the word ‘she’. She snatched the frame to see Sara’s face, her best friend.

“Don’t interfere in my life, sir.” She answered boldly.

“It’s my wish. I can do whatever I what to do.” Vincenzo yelled, making her shudder, and left.

It was already evening when Rachel unpacked the makeup kit gifted by Andrew. She opened the palette and plugged in the USB, which was designed for the lipstick, and attached the brow pencil, which was the antenna. On clicking the red button, she noticed that the signal was weak, so she tiptoed and walked to the balcony.

Meanwhile, Andrew received the signal, and he quickly connected the call.

“Rachel? Can you hear me?”

Hearing his voice, Rachel began tearing up but held her mouth to stop sobbing.

“Yes. Andrew, I miss you. I am very scared. Please take me out of here.”

“Rachel… Rachel listens to me. Be calm.”

“I can’t be Andrew. He threatens to hurt me every time. Everyone is weird here. You told me that you’ll be within my reach. Right? Then come and take me.” Rachel started weeping.

“It’s ok. Fine. I will come and rescue you. It was my selfishness to send you to such a place. Nothing will happen to me except that my coordinates will laugh at me because I bragged about my girlfriend working for me.”

“Andrew? I didn’t know this.”

She rubbed her tears and continued,

“It’s ok. I am fine here. I will collect the proofs fast and get out of here with you. You don’t have to be a laughing stock.”

“No Rachel. It’s my-“

“It’s not your fault. I was acting. I am fine. That Vincenzo is nothing compared to you.” She cut Andrew’s words and assured him.

“I replaced the pictures before his men arrived since I knew he would do this.” Andrew hinted.

“But where are those pictures? You and me?”

“Rachel. They are safe with me.”

Shortly after, Rachel heard some footsteps coming, so she hurriedly ended the call and hid the device.

Vincenzo enters after banging on the door and confronted her.

“What were you doing?” He asked while closing the distance between them.

“I was…taking…rest.” She stuttered.

“Don’t fucking lie. I heard your voice. You were on call, right?” He shouted aloud.

“Don’t interrogate me. Who are you to question me?” Rachel boldly answered in a similar tone.

“I am Vincenzo. That’s enough.”

“Keep your egoistic attitude to yourself, sir. I have a habit of talking to myself. If you even have a problem with that, you can throw me out of the mansion.” Rachel folded her hands and stood against the wall confidently.

Vincenzo smirked and pinned Rachel against the wall.

“If you want to shout…you can try.” He leaned closer and whispered.

Rachel opened her mouth to shout, but Vincenzo blocked her mouth and tightly pressed her against his body.

“I am telling you, baby girl. Don’t try these tricks on me. I already trapped you.”

Rachel bit Vincenzo’s hand and turned to escape his grip, but got pulled back again.

“Leave me, sir…. What are you doing?” She pleaded.

“Don’t try to answer back, sweetheart. I am not that kind to outsiders. I am keeping a watch on you. Be careful or else…..”

Vincenzo left her and laughed devilishly before exiting the room.

This behavior traumatized Rachel.

‘Why me? What was this? I have to get out of here as soon as possible.’ She sat down and cried while cursing the mafia king.

—--------------------

The next few days were normal, and Rachel took all steps to avoid Vincenzo.

One fine day, she woke up early and began her training with Sia.

Athea enters the scene and takes a seat.

“Sister see. Am I doing well?” Sia sweetly asked her sister.

“Till the time you are with this middle-class bitch, don’t talk to me. I don’t want to lower my standard.” Athea bitterly answered and raised her juice for a sip.

“Though you don’t like me, don’t mistreat your sister, Miss Athea.” Rachel requested.

“Who gave you the authority to advise me? Did you forget yesterday’s incident? I can make you recall it again.”

“It’s better to stay away from Sister Athea. Her heart is pure but she fouls her mouth a lot. You see.” Sia laughed.

“Sia…how dare you? If you wouldn’t have been my sister, I would have dragged you out of the mansion.” With this, Athea stomped her feet and left.

After having breakfast, Rachel decided to start the mission she had come for. But the problem was she didn’t know the way to Vincenzo’s room. It was on the other side of the stairs and if someone saw her, she would be dead.

‘What should I do? Let me try once. I want to leave this place, anyway.’ She thought and confidently walked towards the other end. Fortunately, there was no one. She acted taking a stroll so that she could use some excuses. Suddenly, she saw Vincenzo’s frame in one room. It was a king-size bedroom filled with expensive belongings.

She quickly stepped in and looked around.

‘I have to search fast. What if the monster kicks in?’ She thought and hurriedly walked towards the closet.

“What are you doing here?”

The voice made chills run through her spine. It was indeed Vincenzo.

Rachel turned around with a nervous smile.

“I asked… what the fuck are you doing in my room?” His voice made Rachel jump in fear.

“Sir… sir…I just. I forgot the way and ended up here.” Rachel blurted.

“You are so used to lying. Right, sweetheart?” Vincenzo locked the door behind him and walked toward her.

“No..no sir. I am not lying. Please-“

Rachel stopped speaking when Vincenzo dragged her and pushed her on the bed.

“I am warning you for the last time. Don’t you fucking dare lie to me. I am a danger sign. Would you still like to continue?” He declared while pinning her.

“Vince?....” Rachel was shocked.

“I will kill you the next time you take this name,” Vincenzo smirked and left the room.

Rachel ran with all her might and locked herself.

She tried connecting Andrew on a call, but it was unreachable. Rachel felt her world breaking.

‘I am a dangerous sign. Would you still continue?’ She repeated the lines.

She grabbed the pillow and pushed her head into it.

‘I knew it was him. Vince! I hate you. I am trapped now.’ She yells but none could hear her. Even her mobile phone had been seized by the devil.

‘I have to find his dark secrets sooner and leave this place. It’s not safe for me at all.’ Rachel repeated and waited for the night to step in.

After everyone fell asleep, she decided to enter Vincenzo’s room. Surprisingly, the door wasn’t locked. She thanked God and went ahead.

Rachel opened the drawer and started her search. The bed was just beside the drawer but Vincenzo had turned the other way so she was still ok.

She searched through the drawer when she found a pen drive and a file. Quickly closing the drawer, she walked to the door when the bitter voice rang.

“What are you doing there?”

Rachel’s heart started pounding against her chest, and her feet were glued to the spot.
