Chapter 3 - Selena

Author: Dakota Lyons
last update Last Updated: 2024-11-17 20:41:15

Just when I thought my life could not get any harder, it just did. My father would never win any parent of the year awards, but this was beyond anything that I thought he was capable of. I am being used as collateral for his gambling debts. I am basically being

sold into servitude to a mafia Don as a maid. Considering dad’s debt is pretty large, I will be a maid for the rest of my life.

I could feel Joseph’s eyes on me the entire drive. It made me a little nervous but also gave me a warm feeling deep in my core that I had never felt before. I had never been alone with a man before. At least not this close together. I had been alone in the

bodega with Mr. Antoine but that was pretty much it. I did not have any friends since I was no longer going to school. I never even spent time with any of my neighbors because either I was either working or I was at the library working on my courses. I am

sure he was looking at me out of pity because of my circumstances, but I did not want anyone’s pity. I would just keep my head down and stay out of Joseph Rossi’s way.

The car pulled up to the iron gates of a sprawling estate, the headlights casting a yellow glow across the dark metal. I could see there was a large letter ‘R’ in the middle of the gates. I took a deep breath and tried to calm all of the emotions that were

swirling around inside of me. I have no idea what I am in for, but somehow, I know it’s not going to be good. The gates swung open with a groan, revealing a long, winding driveway that led to a grand home. The house was a monument of power and money, the complete

opposite of the cramped apartment I have called home all of my life.

I did not want to accept the fate that was put in front of me, but what choice did I really have. When have I ever truly had a choice in my life. I did not choose to live with an alcoholic father, my mother made that decision for me. I did not choose to

stop going to school, my father did by gambling and drinking away all of our money. And finally, I did not choose to be a maid to the mafia, my father and Joseph Rossi made it for me. No matter how attractive I think he is, at the end of the day he is my

captor that has full control of my destiny. Not only was I going to be a maid, most likely for the rest of my life, but I was never going to be able to finish my education. That was the one dream that I had so desperately been holding onto. But like most

everything else in my life, that was taken from me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the car came to a stop in front of a beautiful home, that will now be my prison. Joseph got out of the car first and I was hesitant to get out. Maybe I could open the other door and take off running. I could possibly

get a good head start before they would catch up to me. It was if he had heard my thoughts. “Selena, running will not be a good idea. So, your best option is to get out of the car and follow me.” With that statement, he reached his hand out to me. I slid

across the seat towards the door and looked at his outstretched hand. I hesitated to take it but figured it would be best to just do as I am told, for now.

When I took his hand, it was like an electric shock went through my body. I have never felt anything like it before. I wanted to pull away, but he had a firm grip on me. I got out of the car, and I realized just how large of a man Joseph Rossi really was.

He was well over a foot taller than me. I am only five-foot tall, so most people I did come in contact with I had to look up to them. He had broad shoulders that filled out the custom- made blue suit he was wearing. He looked like he belonged on the cover

of a magazine with his looks and how he dressed. I had to shake my head to make those thoughts disappear. I could not think of him as a handsome man, but as the person I would be serving daily.

As I walked towards the door, I felt like I was walking to my doom. I did my best to hold my head high. I could not let anyone see my real feelings. I did not want anyone to think they could break me, even though I was broken on the inside already

    I hate to see a look of defeat on Selena’s face. She must see me as her captor at this point after everything that just happened. If she only knew the real truth. Her father did not deserve the protection I was giving him. I was only sparing his life because of his daughter. There was something that I could not figure out that was drawing me towards Selena, giving me this strong desire to protect her. To protect her even with my own life if necessary. It did not make any sense to me as to why I was having these feelings. I have had my share of women over the years, but I have never had any strong feelings for them. Never had I felt the need to protect any of them. Looking into her eyes I saw a fight in her that I think rivaled my own. I never want to see that fight in her eyes disappear. I needed a woman like her by my side that would stand up to anyone. So far, she seems to have come to terms with her fate, but I have a feeling deep in my soul that she truly has not come to term

    Capo Vincent walked in and he did not look happy. "Don, I have spoken to our contact, Rafael. The Columbians are not backing down. They believe Selena is part of the deal. They're demanding she be handed over to them, or else they will consider it a breach of contract." His words sent a cold shiver down my spine. "What do they want in exchange?" I asked, keeping my voice steady. “Do they not understand this was not a deal brokered by the Rossi family?” Vincent took a deep breath. "They want what George promised them. They want Selena." My fists clenched under the table, the wood groaning under the pressure. The audacity of the Columbians was unbelievable. To think they could just come into my city and demand Selena like she was a commodity to be traded... it was infuriating. I had to keep a cool head, though. The family's future was at stake, and I couldn't let my personal feelings cloud my judgment. "Tell them they're wasting their time," I said, my voice a low growl. "Sele

    Once we were upstairs, Marta showed me to the guest bathroom. The bathroom was bigger than my bedroom. I could have never even dreamed about anything like this. The warm water from the shower washed away the grime and fear of the day. I felt the tension in my muscles begin to ease. I had never smelled something as nice as the shampoo and body wash that was in the shower. My mind was racing with thoughts of escape, but she knew it was futile. The house was too secure, too many eyes watching my every move. Plus, I was so tired, tired all the way to my bones. As I stepped out of the shower, Marta handed me a soft towel. She was kind, her eyes filled with a motherly concern that was foreign to me. "Here, let me help you," she said, her voice gentle as she wrapped the towel around my body. She led me to a room that had been prepared for me, the bed freshly made with clean, crisp sheets that smelled of lavender. The room was the polar opposite to the cold, unfeeling apartment I was use

    As I took a seat at the table, I couldn't help but feel the weight of the family on my shoulders. The Rossi name was synonymous with power and responsibility, and now Selena was part of that burden. Yet, every time I looked at her, I felt something different. It was a warmth, a feeling that was alien to the cold, calculating world of the mafia. Her beauty was undeniable, but it was her resilience that truly captivated me. Despite the hand she'd been dealt, she remained strong. The urge to protect her, to claim her as mine was growing stronger by the second. It was confusing, to say the least. As Don of the Rossi family, my life had always been about power, loyalty, and control. Emotions were a weakness, something to be kept in check. Yet, Selena had waltzed into my world and thrown it into chaos. I couldn’t ignore the way my heart raced whenever she was near, the way my body reacted to her presence. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. I sat at the head of the table, my t

    Confused doesn’t really fit what I am feeling right now. I don’t understand how Don Rossi can consider me family. I only met him yesterday and it wasn’t under the best circumstances. I am very thankful for him giving me a place to stay and food to eat. It’s more than my father has ever given me. But I have had to learn the hard way that no one does anything for you without strings attached. The first few days at the mansion were a blur. I was treated like a guest, not a servant. I had my own bedroom with a bathroom that was cleaner than any place I had ever been in. Don Rossi was a very busy man. I rarely saw him, but when I did, he was always polite, but there was something about his gaze that made me feel like he saw through me. Like he knew every little thing that had ever happened to me. It was a little unnerving, but I tried to ignore it. The mansion was a whole new world. It was beautiful and terrifying all at the same time. There was so much space and so much wealth. It

    I hate myself for raising my voice with Selena. It hurts to think that she thinks so little of herself. This is another reason that I would love to end George Mariani. But that’s for later. I called a meeting with my Capos about the Columbians. We need to handle this situation delicately. I knew that I had to go myself to negotiate with them, to ensure that Selena would not be given to them, not under any circumstances. I walked into the conference room, the heavy oak door closing with a thud that echoed the finality of my thoughts. My Capos were already there, waiting for me, their faces etched with concern. "Gentlemen," I said, my voice a calm contrast to the tumult in my chest, "We have a situation." The room grew tense as I laid out the details of George Mariani's treachery. I could feel their anger, their loyalty to the family, and the protectiveness I have towards Selena, who had so quickly become a symbol of innocence in our corrupt world. "We need to handle this with p

    I chose Antonio to accompany me, not just for his loyalty, but because he was the only one who knew Selena's true value to me. "Remember, Antonio," I said, as we drove through the darkened streets of the city, "You are my right hand. Stay alert and do not react unless absolutely necessary." The warehouse was a grim place, which had long been abandoned. Torres was a snake, a man who got off on the misery of others, and I knew that this meeting would be a tug of war of words and power. Antonio and I arrived in a plain black sedan, the engine running quietly as we stepped out. We were met by a sea of armed men, their eyes cold and their intentions clear. We were searched thoroughly before being led into a dimly lit room where Torres sat, surrounded by his own men. The tension was like a coiled spring waiting to snap. As we approached, Torres's gaze swept over us. The corner of his mouth twitched upwards in a predatory smile. "Rossi," he greeted, his voice full of insincerity . "To

    I was sitting on sofa in the library when Joseph walked in. He had been gone a while. I had stayed here in case I could see him again. We still haven't had an opportunity to have a talk about my whole situation here. I took one look at his face and knew something was wrong. "What is it, Joseph?" she asked, closing her book with a soft thud. He took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for words that could convey the gravity of what had just transpired. "Selena," he began, his voice tight with tension, "I need you to trust me." Maybe Joseph has changed his mind about me taking my classes and I am going to be a maid after all. He sat down beside me, his posture stiff. "There's something I need to discuss with you, Selena," he said, his eyes avoiding mine. "It's about your future here." My heart began to race. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to keep the fear from my voice. "Have you changed your mind about me being a maid?" He took my hand, his grip f

    I am over halfway through my pregnancy, and it terrifies me to think of having my baby here. I hate being held prisoner. I did not want the same fate for my baby. I was being raped daily by Torres. I had tried so hard to just block out every thrust and every ounce of pain that he would inflict on me. He enjoyed giving me pain and I have the marks to prove it. As I lay in bed, my belly aching from his rough treatment, I hear a faint whisper. "Selena, it's Anna." I sat up, my eyes searching the darkness. "What is it?" "I found out something," she whispered urgently. "They're having an auction really soon here at the house." My heart sank. I knew what that meant. I had seen the way Torres looked at me, the way he talked about me to his men. I was going to be sold. "When?" I asked, trying to keep the fear out of my voice. "In two days," Anna said, her own voice shaking. "What can we do?" I whispered, my heart racing. Two days. That was all the time we had before I would be han

    Thankfully, all of the Capos had remained loyal to me. There was no evidence of them conspiring with Salvatore. The meeting was tense, with everyone aware of the gravity of the situation. We discussed our options, the tension in the room thick as we weighed the risks and potential rewards of each plan. We needed to find Selena and crush Torres without igniting an all-out war with the Columbian Cartel. "We have a lead on a warehouse they use for storage," Antonio spoke up, his eyes never leaving mine. "It's a good place to start." I nodded, the room spinning slightly. The painkillers were wearing off, and the pain in my side was a reminder of the bullet that had nearly killed me. "Call a meeting with some of the other families," I said through gritted teeth. "We need to move quickly and quietly." Antonio nodded, already on his phone, arranging the meetings. I knew that Selena was strong, but each day that passed was another day of hell for her. The thought of Torres's touching

  • My Mafia Savior   Chapter 54 - Selena

    I never thought I could feel like a slave, but that is what I have become. Torres enjoys humiliating me every chance he gets. I walk around naked more than I have on clothes. Torres has been true to his word so far. No one has laid a hand on me, except for him. His touch is cold and calculated, as if he's trying to claim me in a way that goes beyond the physical. The other men in the house are allowed to look but not touch. It's like I'm a piece of meat in a butcher's window, displayed for all to see but only the highest bidder can take home. But even as I follow his rules, I'm planning. I have to find a way out of here. For the baby. Every night, after Torres has visited, I lie in the darkness, my thoughts racing. The room is cold, and I pull the covers tighter around my body, feeling the soft swell of my stomach. The baby kicks, a reminder of the life that grows inside me, a life that deserves a chance at happiness, not a future in this hellish world. I want better for he

    I feel like a weight is holding me down. I am trying so hard to open my eyes. All I can hear is this loud beeping. "Mr. Rossi, wake up," a voice says, and suddenly, there's a hand on my shoulder, shaking me gently. My eyes crack open, and I'm greeted by a blur of white lights and concerned faces. The pain is a dull throb now, the fever's grip on me loosened. I blink, trying to focus, and see Antonio leaning over me, his expression a mix of relief and exhaustion. "Welcome back, Boss." Antonio's voice was a welcome sound, the first sign that I wasn't hallucinating. I managed to croak out a response, "Selena... where is she?" "We don't know," Antonio said, his expression grim. "But we're looking. We've got everyone on it." I nodded, feeling the heaviness in my chest lift slightly. The doctor hovered at the foot of the bed, his face a mask of professionalism. "You need to rest," he said firmly. "You've had a close call with sepsis. You're not out of the woods yet." "How lon

    I lay on the bed, my body trembling with the aftershocks of what had just happened. The dress felt like a prison, sticking to my damp skin. I needed to get out of these clothes, out of this room, out of this nightmare. With shaking hands, I untied the dress and let it fall to the floor. The fabric pooled around my feet, a sad reminder of the violation I had just endured. I stepped into the shower, the water scalding my skin as I tried to wash away the doctor's touch. I scrubbed until my skin was red and raw, the tears mixing with the water as they streamed down my face. When the hot water turned cold, I stepped out, wrapping a towel around my shivering body. I felt exposed, like every inch of me had been laid bare. I needed to find a way out of here, to escape this hellhole. Our baby deserved a future, and I would not let anyone take that away from us. I sat on the bed, my eyes scanning the room for any hint of a way out. The walls were bare, the window too high to reach,

    **Parts of this chapter may contain triggers for some readers of reference to a sexual assault. Discretion is advised** I have been tossing and turning for hours. I have been praying that Torres was lying about Joseph being dead. We are supposed to be together to raise this baby. How could our lives be turned so upside down? I heard the lock click on the door and a young girl walked in with a tray of food in her hands. She looked no more than sixteen, with wide eyes that had seen too much and a tremble in her step that betrayed her fear. She paused just for a second before she set the food on the table. "They told me to give you this." I sit up slowly and take the tray from her. "Thank you. What’s your name?" "Anna. Please don't tell anyone I talked to you." "Of course, Anna. Is there anything you can tell me that might help me get out of here?" Anna's eyes widened, and she took a step back. "I-I don't know anything. I'm just here to work." The door clicked shut

    By the time Antonio and I got back to the estate, I was beyond exhausted. The only thing keeping me standing was pure adrenaline. "Joseph, you need to rest," Antonio said, his voice thick with concern. "Rest? How can I rest?" I snapped. "My wife is out there, pregnant with my child, and all we have is a boat that's been turned into a floating morgue." Antonio sighed heavily. "We'll find her," he assured me, his own eyes filled with a steely determination. "But you're no good to her if you're dead." I knew he was right, but the thought of Selena in the hands of those monsters was eating me alive. I stumbled into my office, the room where I had made countless deals and taken so many lives, and slammed the door shut. I needed to think, to plan, to find a way to get her back. "If I don't have her Antonio, I might as well be dead. She taught me how to live life. She is carrying my child. I promised her that I would protect her and I have failed her." Antonio nodded, understandi

    Regardless of how much pain I am in, the only thing I can think about is Selena. She is innocent in all of this and so is our baby. Salvatore will pay for what he has done to me and to my family. When we arrive at the warehouse, it almost looks abandoned. My men, armed and ready, fan out around the perimeter, each one sticking to the shadows. My breath is ragged, my chest a constant throb of pain, but the thought of Selena and our baby pushes me forward. The sound of distant voices and the occasional shout echo against the metal walls. We move swiftly and silently, the tension thick. As we approach a side door, I catch the faint whiff of something sweet—Selena's favorite perfume. A flicker of hope ignites within me. "Break it down," I whisper to the men surrounding me. The door gives way with a crash, the sound echoing through the silent warehouse. We spread out, our footsteps barely make a sound as we search the vast space, our eyes peeled for any sign of her. The first fe

    I am so scared for myself, the baby, and Joseph. They shot him right in front of me. There was so much blood. My mind was racing when I was shoved into a cold, metal cell. The smell of the warehouse was a nauseating mix of dust and mold. I could feel the baby kicking as if she was reminding me to stay strong. I sat on the floor, my back pressed against the wall, and I tried to slow down my breathing. The sound of distant voices and footsteps echoed through the building, reminding me that I wasn't alone in this hell. I had to keep my head clear and find a way out. The cell door creaked open, and a figure stepped into the dim light. It was one of the men who had taken me. His eyes raked over me, his gaze lingering on my stomach. "You're the one they want," he sneered, tossing me a bottle of water. "Make sure you stay hydrated. We don't want any problems with the merchandise." The door slammed shut, the echo reverberating through the metal chamber. I clutched the water to m
