Matilda Hoult Moved to a little town in Boston, with her father in search of a fresh start, but little did she know that the reason why they had moved was to escape from Mace Hunter, the ruthless billionaire cartel leader of New York City, the Capo dei Carpi of one of the biggest crime syndicate in the Mafia world, whom her father owed a large sum of money. When Mace Hunter came to claim his money all Dennis Hoult could do was beg for more time, being true to the Mafia teachings and belief, Mace swore never to forgive and claimed Matilda as his pound of flesh. But Fate spun a dangerous wheel that turned Matilda from a debtor to the contract wife of Mace Hunter. Can Matilda survive living in the lion's den for 2years? Will she lose her heart or will he?

Chapter One

"Matilda! Come on out; you're taking forever in there"."Coming Dad! Let me get the last batch". I yelled as I kept wandering around the rooms like a lost soul, unable to leave the past behind. The memories I had made here were as if they were all yesterday. I couldn't believe how quickly time flies and how fleeting life is."I can't believe we are moving, with all the memories we made here, both sweet and bad, left behind". I murmured to myself. I could hear Mom's laughter as it echoed, the many birthdays I had celebrated within these walls, the many wars we had fought and conquered.I could give anything to bring the past back; how was I to face what lay ahead? No one prepared me for this; no one told me that things could take a turn so quickly. I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I sank to the ground as I remembered Mom's last moments at the hospital.She had suffered greatly and was in so much pain, looking all lean and fragile, but I still wanted her around. I prayed earnestly

Chapter Two

A knock on the door interrupted my cleaning midway. I opened the door, and a girl about my age, putting on a purple and white flowered gown, was at the door. I took in her appearance; she had a set of Brown eyes, and her black wavy hair was tied in a high ponytail. She looked a bit simple, but she was beautiful in her cheap clothes."Hi, I am Grace!" She said this while smiling at me warmly. I was surprised at how forward she sounded, but I guess it's their way of greeting and meeting the new occupants. I just stood still, holding a mop stick in my hand, while staring at her."We live opposite you, just me and my grandma," she announced excitedly as she pointed at the door opposite us."Hi, I'm Matilda." I smiled at her. I know it's a bit strange, but I kind of liked her energy. I guess my smile made her feel relaxed and a little more chatty."There has never been a young person packed in, so I wanted to be friends with you," she went on, but this time around the smile on her face dis

Chapter Three

"Shaving honey!"This is the first time I have seen Dad shave off his beard after we lost Mom."This is a good development" I whispered to myself. I work two part-time jobs with my best friend Grace; it hasn't been entirely easy, but I am having the time of my life. I know it wasn't what I had planned for my life, but I was kind of grateful that we kept taking one step at a time.Dad works as an accountant at a local shopping mall; the pay isn't much, and I don't know why he chose this small, unpopular town out of all the places in the county. I mean, we used to live in New York City, and my dad was a successful accountant before we sold everything to save my mom from cancer. I sometimes wonder why he chooses to live from hand to mouth when he can actually walk into any accounting firm and get a job offer immediately. I did not want to complain, but I couldn't help but pity my dad.I think he just needed a fresh start, to breathe new air, and needs a break from all the city hassle. W

Chapter Four

It was the god-like man from the ice cream shop; his mischievous smile and dominating aura couldn't let me think straight. I kept asking myself what was going on and why he had a gun pointed at my dad."Is this a robbery attack?" I muttered to myself, but there was nothing of value to attract such a man here. I was more confused than ever. I was trying to gather my head around what was going on and what this stranger from the shop was doing at my house when one of the men gave my dad a resounding slap.I was shaken to my very core and scared, but I couldn't hold back the tears. Dad fell on his back, and I couldn't resist rushing toward him. I held him as he was wincing in pain."Dad, are you okay?"But he didn't give me a reply; he quickly sat up and held me so close to him as though he were protecting me from the danger in the room."I'm good, honey; don't worry, it will soon be over," my dad reassured me with a shaky voice.The man from the ice cream shop chuckled so devilishly as h

Chapter Five

Grace couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on, but she sure knew she wouldn't be seeing me anymore. I could see both of them on the floor, screaming and crying as they were held down.I kicked and hit the man dragging me away in vain. He opened the limousine car door and put me in there. I tried fighting my way out to help my dad, but he pinned me on the seat as he fastened the seat belt."Nooo!! ........., Dad...........!!" I kept on screaming. "Calm down, sweetie; I could think of many things I would like to do to you". He mocked me. I sat down quietly sobbing in the car with my mind running wild. I knew it might be the last time I ever saw Dad. I was more concerned about him falling into depression from losing Mom and me, Then I looked up and Mace had a bitter grin on his face. I kept on wondering what this devil wanted from me, how I could escape from him, and what he was scheming. What he said kept on playing on my mind and sending a cold shiver down my spine. I knew

Chapter Six

Just the thought of me being all lovey-dovey with Mace Hunter after the horrible experience I had with him made me want to puke my guts out."He isn't that bad, you know"."He is Ray; could you change the topic please, because this one is making me sick"."Wow, alright if you say so".We were still discussing when we heard a knock on the door, and then the door opened. I was a bit relieved when it was not Mace who entered, but one of his men. "The boss said you should get her ready to move", said the man who walked in. I was frantic, and I looked at Ray immediately to get answers from him."What is he talking about? Where exactly is he Moving me to Ray?" I asked a bit anxious, while staring into the eyes to get answers. "Calm down, Matilda, it's nothing; we just need to introduce you to others since you are new, that's all".I don't know why I felt that Ray didn't want me to freak out, but I knew something was not right."I will be waiting at the door". Ray said with his head slight

Chapter Seven

He turned almost immediately, Ray and I looked at each other, and he continued feeding me."You have a hell of an appetite for someone who has been unconscious for three days," Ray teased me.All I could do was smile, and I laid down to rest.* * * * *"It has been one week now, and your healing is just fine, Tilda," Ray said, sounding so concerned."I don't know if I should be glad or maybe I should go into mourning," I replied, wearing a depressed look.Ray has never left my side since I woke up; he spends most of his time with me, telling me stories and trying everything he can to make me comfortable. It felt as if he wanted me to forget the real reason I lost consciousness, but how could I, when I knew the kind of fate that awaited me?How can I forge ahead as if nothing happened? I prayed each day that I should have remained unconscious or even dead rather than face the cross that Mace is about to dish out to me.Ray has been avoiding the topic, trying his best not to mention it,

Chapter Eight

She placed a plate right in front of me, and the aroma of a nicely prepared meal saturated the room. It brought back memories from the past; it smelt like mom's cooking, and I remembered how she hums songs in the kitchen while preparing meals for the family and her beautiful smile. I wished things remained that way. Then I wouldn't have met this devil sitting right in front of me. I suddenly remembered the day I found out about her cancer, the day I came back from school and met her in the kitchen preparing dinner. Where she found the strength to still prepare dinner that night made me wonder if she is from this world. She has superhuman strength and a good sense of humor; even on her death bed, her smile didn't fade, and her light didn't go dim.* * * * *"How was your day at school?" mom asked"It's school mom," I replied as I made my way to the kitchen. She smiled and rolled her eyes at me. The aroma from the meal she was making hit me, and believe me, it was divine."Go freshen u

Chapter Nine

I woke up early in the morning to the whistling and bustling of some birds outside my window. I rubbed my eyes for a while, as though to rub away any remnant of sleep still lurking behind them. I sat up on the bed and stretched myself for a while.I'm so happy this morning. I guess my dream the previous night was doing wonders this morning. I dreamt I was no longer in this house and I was free at home with Dad and Grace, having breakfast, talking, and laughing. It was my first dream in this God-forsaken house, and I loved every bit of it."Oh, how I wish it could be true, though." I glided off the bed and danced around the room for a while. I went to the window to open it, and I leaned on it, sticking my head out to take in some fresh air while enjoying nature. I danced back into the room, preparing to shower, when a knock came on the door. Before I could say a word, the door opened instantly. I sometimes wonder why they bother to knock since they would open the door anyway, even when
