Sarah
Papa, Mama, wake up, please! Tears stung my eyes as my parents laid helplessly on the ground, we were just returning from the casillias ranch at Costra Nostra, when our car got in the middle of a shoot out between two different cartels, we shrieked in fear,as papa slowed down the car, and turned the steering wheel to revise. Then we heard a loud sound from our car, it was from one of the tyres, which had just been deflated by a fired bullet. We panicked,and let out a helpless cry, papa held his grip firmly to the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes, immediately it let a screeching sound as it moved in full speed, he clenched his hands on the steering wheel as he tried to gain control, we reached a speed bump and he tried to slow down but the car screeched to a halt, causing a tyre to roll off and immediately,the car rolled over_well that's all i can remember. I shrieked in fear, my eyes all welled up in tears, I crawled to my parents who were lying still on the ground, their bodies all bruised up and covered with blood __ ,"open your eyes please".Tears rolled down my eyes,I tied to stand but I couldn't move from the bruises on me,I turned to our car, it was all wrecked up an d covered with smoke, my face was covered with blood from the injury on my head side, I looked around quickly to get help but dizziness struck me and I collapse right to the ground. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a pair of white eyes staring at me. I looked around in shock. "Where am i?" I asked and winced as a sharp pain short through my head. "You're in the hospital" a voice replied. I looked up to the person, it was uncle Delvin. He looked at me with scrutinizing eyes, as I tried to sit up straight. I remembered my parents I gasped "Papa, Mama, where are they?" I asked with teary eyes. He didn't reply. _dove sono i mie genitori?_ "where are my parents?" I asked again,my heart thudding widely against my chest. He huffed and closed his eyes. "What happened?" I blurted with a sob. Sighs "You need to rest" he replied and leaves the room. Immediately tears clouded my eyes,my thoughts became foggy and perplexing as i was filled with so much curiosity about my parents,i tried to stand,but my legs; They were stiffened. A lady walked into the room, by her appearance I could tell she was a nurse. "How are you feeling?" she asked with a smile. "I want to see my parents" I blurted staring at her with teary eyes. She lowered her gaze to the floor and sighed, she raised her head and looked at me, her face filled with pity. Smiles "You're recovering quick" she said trying to wave it off. "What happened?," I cut, "please tell me" I begged anxious to know. She budge "It's alright" she replied, by her tone, I could tell something was wrong and I got fed up with the wavery. "Where are my parents?" I yelled anxiously, I could hear heart beating loudly and faster against my chest. "They're dead" uncle Delvin replied standing at the door. He drifted into the room "They didn't survive the accident" he added and stopped. "WHAT!" A grin plastered my face,"No" I muffled and immediately tears started rolling down my cheeks. "NO, Papa, Mama" I was sobbing hard now, the top of my blouse was drenched with tears, immediately uncle Delvin and the nurse lady excuse themselves and leaves the room. "Why?," "it can't be" "NO" I held my head in disbelief and cried out loud,the news struck me hard, like a shattering blow,I cried my eyes out and my head began to ache,my eyes were already swollen from so much crying. I leaned back on the bed and rested my head on the pillow, I closed my eyes and drifted to Dreamland. 1hour later. I opened my eyes as the nurse lady tapped me, and sat up straight but this time,I didn't feel any pain,my legs they weren't stiffened and the pain on my head was slight. "Feeling better" she asked. I didn't reply, i was too weak and sad to speak. "You've recovered so fast,and I've got some news for you" she said. I've had enough bad news for today,I didn't want to hear it, if it was bad news I thought to myself. "You've been discharged" she said with a smile, then Uncle Delvin walked into the room. "Excuse us"he said and immediately the nurse lady leaves the room, he sits on a stool beside me. "How are you feeling?" he asked with concern. I tried to speak but i muffled. " re you feeling better?" he asked. I nodded with a sob. Sigh "Where are their bodies"I managed to ask. "In the cemetery,they've already been buried"he said in a soft tone and immediately tears began welling up in my eyes, I wasn't even given the chance to see them and say goodbye to them "You have been discharged, we're leaving in an hour" he said as he stood up and leave the room to take a call. "We!" I muttered as his words stunged me, my parents were gone, I had no one at home, and the last thing I wanted , was to live with Uncle Delvin, I shrieked. I just couldn't stand his family, his wife Maria; who had a deep seated disdain for me.It was clear to me that she never liked me, and his daughter Kayla: "Urgh", I was never comfortable around his family, the nurse lady entered the room with some clothes on her hand, she stared at my swollen eyes and sighed in pity. "I brought some clothes for you" she said with a smile in a friendly tone. I looked at her and huffed. "I'm sure they will fit just right" she flustered looking at me to hear my reply, I nodded and immediately she helped me get up and I wore the clothes, it was a light pink blouse and blue jeans, the jeans were a bit loose, and also comfy. "t fits you perfectly she said all smiley, I knew she was trying to cheer me up, but that was the last thing I wanted. Then Uncle Delvin entered the room with a man, the man wore a black shirt,tucked in a black jean, with a pair of thick black boots. I spotted the gun inserted in a hostler behind his back and immediately I knew he was one of Delvins guard. "We leave now Delvin said. "No" I blurted and sat on the bed with a grin on my face. He glared at me ferociously, "You have no choice Sarah" he said and signaled his guard to bring me. "Pedro" he called _Si capo_ "yes boss".Pedro replied. "Bring the girl" he ordered and immediately, Pedro walks to me grabs my arm. "Let's go Miss" he said with a husky voice. ,Sarah's Pov "NO, I'm not leaving with you" I argued as i sat on the bed.Delvin gazed at me with the a scowl on his face, I could see the anger evident in his face, then he turned his back towards me and leaves the room."Follow me" Pedro said and grabbed my wrist forcefully, my tiny hand held tightly by him, his strength was more than mine as he pulls me from the bed until i was standing on my feet. I winced and cried out that his grip were tight and he was hurting me, but he wouldn't bulge. "I'm pretty sure that there are other ways to make her follow you" the nurse interrupted but he gave her a stern and dangerous look causing her to shudder."Okay!, I'll follow you, but I don't need to be dragged" I said in defeat, and he released my hand from his grip, "Oh" a sigh escaped my mouth, I was relieved. I drifted out of the room, and he followed me behind,we got outside to where the car was parked, it was a black SUV with tinted windows, Delvin was seated in the passenger seat, he lo
SARAH I wasn't done with my food, when Pedro walked into the dinning, he stood in front of me with his hands tucked in his pockets, he gazed at me with a grin on his face and he cleared his throat."The boss asked that you come with me" he said with a stern voice as his dark gaze settled on me.My lower lip quivered and my voice broke "Why?""Stop asking questions and come with me" he said in an authorative tone and turned his back to me. I reluctantly stood up from my seat, I didn't want to argue as i remembered last time. I followed him as he made his way out of the house, A man was standing by the car with a lit cigarette in his hands "Nico" Pedro called, he flicked his cigarette on the ground as he saw Pedro and opened the car door. I settled at the back while Pedro sat in front, in the passenger seat and the man got into the driver's seat and drove off.After a along ride, we got to a large building, it had a big sign post designed with neon lights," Viva Vegas" I said reading
SARAH"Let me introduce you, to your new partner" Maria told me.I titled my head, and glanced at her."Steve" she calledImmediately, a guy wearing a white shirt tucked in a pair of black jeans with a black vest turned to us. "Yes Ma'am" he answered."This is Steve" she introduced and my gaze fell on the man behind the bar stand, Maria continued "He's the head bar attendant" She stilled for some seconds. "And you'll be working with him" she added.I inhaled deeply as her words stunged me, my gaze lowered to the floor as sadness struck me. I just lost my parents. I hadnt even recovered fully from the shock. And now i was being forced, to work for my uncle's family. I wouldn't have been here if my parents were to be alive, I thought and tears stunged my eyes I sniffed in holding them back."Understood" She asked.I lowered my gaze and nodded slightly."Good, [smiles] and leaves the bar stand.I didn't want to stay here, working in a casino, dealing with Maria's rude deamenor towards me
SARAHThe bar closed late in the night. We got in the car and Pedro drove us home. We arrived at the house, i got down from the car and headed inside.I was tired and exhausted, i needed to sleep, it's been a rough and busy day for me.I got to my room door. My stomach grumbled then i realized i hadn't eaten dinner, I turned to my back and made my way to the kitchen.I met Alba and two other maids at the kitchen, it seems they were already preparing dinner for the house."Hey" I stepped into the kitchen."Miss Sarah" Alba called with a smile. "How was your day?" She asked.I sighed and sat on a stool "It was pretty rough."[Chuckles lowly] "Well dinner is almost ready" she said but i was really hungry, I couldn't wait till when dinner was set."I don't know if I can wait Alba, i'm so hungry right now" I said and looked at my rumbling stomach."So what can I get you?" She asked."Maybe some sandwiches" I said and immediately she turned and whipped up some sandwiches for me in under ten
There was no flicker of emotions on his face as his gaze turned dark. He was actually serious, his grip were still firm on my wrist, what the heck was going on?Delvin blurted " No"The man looked at Delvin. He tilted his head to one side, a big grin plastered his face. "Why!" He asked Delvin shuddered a bit before he replied." She's my niece, Don Felix, you can't take her" Delvin said it seems he knew the man.He glanced back at me in suprise. He stilled for some seconds. "Well I don't care!" He said in authoritative tone his grip on my wrist tightened more, tears clouded my eyes and I winced biting back my tears."Take her instead" Delvin said pointing to the last girl and she shuddered immediately, the man raked her up and down and shook his head in disapproval.He heaves a sigh and loosened his grip on my wrist."How much do you want my friend, name your price" he said in a friendly trying to bargain price for me.Who the hell did he think he was?"I'm sorry Don Felix but she isn
~Felix~"I want her instead" I said boldly.Delvin looked at me suprised, like i wasn't sure if what i was demanding. He shrugged and blurted "No"A muscle in my jaw twitched "Why?" and a big grin plastered my face."She's my niece Don Felix, you can't her" he replied.I raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner and tilted my head to a side, so Delvin had a niece I didn't know of, I only knew his daughter who was nothing but a spoilt brat, but I didn't give a fuck who the girl was. "Well I don't care" I snapped and she cowered away from me, trying to pull herself out of my grip. My grip on her arm tightened more and she winced."Don, take her instead" Delvin suggested pointing at the last girl. I raked the last girl with my eyes and shook my head slightly. I sighed and loosened my grip letting go of her wrist, I was already pissed with his refusal, I inhaled deeply "How much do you want my friend?, name your price" I gritted through my teeth in a friendly tone. I wasn't going to tak
~Sarah~After she was done, the maids help me out of the bathtub, to the room. She opened the closet and picked out a white light gown which i wore."Wait here" the lady ordered and leaves the room with the other maids."The Don is on his way" she announced and leaves the room. Immediately my heart began thudding widely against my chest. I paced about trembling in fear, the thought of being alone in this room with this man frightened me more, his blue storming eyes; they scared my soul.My eyes stucked at the entrance door of the room as I heard footsteps. Sweat began dripping down my body, my heart began to beat fast and loudly as a sudden fear crept all over me. The sounds of his footsteps became more audible, he was drawing closer and closer. The door knob bent slowly. I lowered my gaze to the floor, the door opened and then came in Mr Felix.I froze at sight of him. The atmosphere of the room, didn't really help my situation either. The thick curtains were drown and the room was
~Felix~I heard a knock on the door. The door opened and Ramirez walked in, there was a grin on his face, he stopped and looked at Sarah; my puny."Wow Felizo" he said _urgh! I hate to be called that, well he's the only that calls me that and the only one allowed to. Ramirez was more like a brother to me, I regarded him as family. His father was my late father's right hand man before he got retired. His loyalty meant alot to me, I knew he would sacrifice his life to save mine if it ever came down to it.He continued "I see you got some good company" he said and his eyes appraised Sarah.I grinned, tired of his scrutiny "Ramirez, Meet my new dolly" I said introducing Sarah.He chuckled and gave her his hand "Ramirez Costello".She looked up at me slowly. Then she placed her trembling hand in his "Sa.. Sarah Mar...ti..tinez" She stuttered.Ramirez turned to me surprised with questioning brow, he knew of the name Martinez, well Delvin Martinez but I was certain he didn't know who Sarah w
