MARCELLAS POV
“Hello? Mom?” I called through the phone, I could hear the relief and joy in her voice as she responded.
“Baby, where are you my love”
“I can’t tell you mom, but I’m safe and…”
“Are you out of your mind?” Antonio yelled yanking the phone from my hands.
“What the hell!” I yelled back
“I told you no fucking phone calls without my knowledge. Why the hell will you do that?”
“I needed to call my mom, its being weeks and she’s probably crying herself to death”
“I don’t give a fuck about that Marcella. Do you realize what you have just done?” He questioned, slamming the phone on the table just as Alberta walked in.
“Forgive me sir I must have left the phone unattended.” Alberta apologized.
“This not your fault Alberta, just stay out of it.” he assured her
“…and it’s my fault?” I questioned “It’s my fault I can’t choose whom to marry? It’s my fault I have to hide even from my own parents? It’s my fucking fault my life is miserable now?”
“Don’t be pathetic, you agreed to the terms of staying here, and right now your actions may have just exposed our location.”“I missed my mother. I missed home!” I retorted.
“I understand, but you still have to bear the consequences of your actions.
“You’re going to get punished marcella.” He said staring straight at me. “I hope you understand this.” I shook my head.
“You mean you didn’t read the entire contract?” He questioned worriedly.
I shook my head again as I saw Alberta walk away. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. I couldn’t place a description on the look on Antonios face. I tilted my head subconsciously in attempt to read his expression, that’s when I noticed he looked lean than he was when I first saw him. He had traces of worry on his face. He looked like he needed some sleep and a break from his hectic schedule.
“When was the last time you slept?” I blurted out. He turned away from me before replying:
“Don’t worry about it” he said blankly
“You need some sleep Antonio, you have men all over the parameter, you deserve a break.”
“I said don’t worry about it.” He repeated without turning. I walked up behind him, then I hugged him from behind.
“I appreciate the protection, but you need to rest. Come on…” I encouraged holding him by the hand and dragging him behind me, without hesitation he followed my lead. Just when we arrived at the entrance of his bedroom, he swinged me around and brought my face so close to his. I could smell the familiar minty breath. He smiled then kissed my forehead. I smiled back and raised myself on tippy toes before kissing his lips shyly.
He giggled at my attempt to reach his height, and without notice he slammed his lips into mine. I returned the kiss passionately as I tried to savor all the taste I could find in his mouth. Then suddenly, he pushed me back.
“Take off your cloths and lay on the bed princess, you’re going to get punished.” I didn’t know what he meant but I was excited to be in his bed. I hurriedly pulled down my jeans and T shirt. I hopped onto the bed with a big smile plastered on my face. Antonio walked to a drawer nearby and brought out a pair of pink fluffy handcuffs and a red ball, I panicked and he could tell.
“It’s okay princess I will be gentle.” he assured then locked both of my wrist to the handcuffs and positioned them above my head before placing the red ball in my hands.
“When this becomes too much for you to handle, just drop the ball.” He instructed. I nodded in anticipation as Antonio settled inbetween my legs.
“Spread them for me he ordered.” My legs obeyed before my mind could assimilate what he had said. My breath increased as my pussy begun pulsating vigorously. He gently slid two fingers into my pussy, I breathed heavily as the tension building up between my thighs got more intense. He started thrusting his fingers in and out of my pussy, as his pace increased,his focus remained on my vaginal opening. A smirk formed on his face when my walls tightened.
“You cannot cum till I ask you to”
“Huh”
“You cannot fucking cum without my permission” he repeated.
My head did a little spin as I tried to hold back the orgasm I felt building up. He didn’t stop, his fingers kept thrusting in and out of my pussy, as I felt another orgasm approach. He cupped one of my breasts in his hands and gave it a hard squeeze, pussy juices flooded the bed as I felt it wet my ass. He brought his attention to my clit and started rubbing it. My heart rate increased as my thighs started shaking from so much pleasure.
“May I cum now please?” I heard myself plead.
“No, you may not”. He replied and just like that, he stopped everything.
“What the fuck! Don’t stop please.”
“That’s your punishment princess, don’t make calls without my permission.” He said unhooking my habds from the cuffs before walking out of the room. I brought my hands to my pussy in an attempt to satisfy the urge that had built up , but as if on cue,he poked his head through the door.
“…and don’t try to finish without my permission princess. You are mine, read the contract!”
I was frustrated, I needed a release. I was angry with myself for letting him leave me hanging again. I got up and stormed out of the room fully naked and I didn’t care.
“You need to wear something” Alberta said as I passed her.
“No, I won’t, no one can tell me what to do. I am my own person” I replied and kept walking. I walked down stairs into the living room only to meet an army of men with their guns pointing at each other. Antonio quickly grabbed a sheet from the sofa to cover my nakedness.
“Uncle Tee? Alejandro? how did you find me? I asked confused.
“Hello sis” my brother Alejandro called.
“Come with us, your father is waiting at home.” Uncle Tee informed me.
“I’m not going anywhere with you”
“It’s okay marcella we’re here to take you home”. My uncle Tyronne assured.
“I’m not leaving this place, and stop pointing your fucking guns at us.” I yelled.
“Don’t let this get any complicated than it already is” Uncle Tee said cocking his gun, immediately triggering Antonio’s men and the remaining of dad’s men to cock their guns too. The atmosphere became quiet as the men kept their guns aimed at each other.
“You can’t come into my house and point a fucking gun at me and my family. I’m going to repeat myself only once, keep your weapons off my face.” Antonio said the veins on his neck becoming eminent as his authoritative aura filled the room.
“Shit! get down…” Alejandro shouted as a single gunshot fired through the window. Antonio held onto me tightly as his shirt got soaked with blood.
“You’re bleeding Antonio” I said just as my feet became numb and vision became dark.
ANTONIOS POVI squeezed Marcella’s cold hands tightly with my left hand while my right-hand kept pressure on her wound. The fast-oozingblood from the hollow space left by the bullet on her abdomen had already soaked two shirts. As she lay on the table in my dining area, I anxiously awaited the arrival of Doctor Firestone,a trusted underground medical practitioner Alvarez had secured for situations like this when we first arrived here in Italy.I felt useless as all I could do was say silent prayers hoping she pulls through this. Alvarez, Alejandro and some of my men had gone out to trace the shooter. I had promised to keep Marcellasafe but right here in my home I put her in harms way.Firestone arrived shortly after and went straight to assess the wound on Marcella. He looked more worried than I had expected. I refused to let go of her hands as the little threadypulse I felt was my only assurance she was still alive and she could make it. After the doctor stabilized her and treated t
MARCELLAS POVIt was a little pass midday when I arrived at the Russo Manor,my mother rushed down the stairs to hug me immediately she saw me, I simply waved a hand to dismiss her ensuring my other hand supported my wound. Its been just two days after the shooting and I had decided to pay my father a visit despite Antonio’s fruitless efforts to convince me otherwise.“You betrayed me” I said to my mother, “my abdomen feels like it had just been vacuumed you know why?”“Its not what you think baby” she sobbed“ Because you chose to betray me and put my life in danger.” She made another attempt to advance towards me and stretchedher hand to touch me.“Don’t you dare touch me” I said with a frown."I called you and you told dad my whereabouts, you were supposed to protect me!“ I added."Don’t be too hard on her” Alejandro said patting my shoulder as he joined us in the room. Uncle Tee followed closely behind wheeling dad into the space beside mom. I turned to walk away ignoring his pres
MARCELLA’S POV Its been a couple of hours and no one had come in to check on me or offer food, this only confirmed my suspicion, my father was punishing me. The door remained locked and so was my bedroom window, the sky outside was dark with only a few stars sprinkled across it. The lights of the manor lit up the compound giving me a view of a couple of armed men patrolling its parameter.. I entered the bathroom to wash my face and drunk some water from the tap, then an idea struck.A broad smile appeared on my face as I rushed to the closet, I pulled out every piece of cloth, bedspread and any material I could lay hands on. I tied them end to end forming a long row of clothes joined by a tight knot. This was my only hope of escape and I prayed silently that it works. I went back to the bathroom and tied one end of my improvised rope to the window frame, and with my bag hugging my body tightly, I let my self out the window. It was a one story building yet my fear of heights prevented
MARCELLA’S POV I heard a rattling sound at the front of my door, I didn’t bother to check it out as I knew the door was locked. Before long, Uncle Tee Stepped into my room holding a ball gown and some accessories. “You father demands your presence at the diner party.” He said to me “What party, I don’t know about any party” I informed him. “Well, what I can tell you is, you father just struck a huge business deal with Zak and the party is to celebrate the win, anything beyond that I am not in the position to say” “I am not interested in anything relating to dad’s business, I am not coming” I said simply. “Like you have a choice. You know El Russo does not make suggestions, this is an order.” I shrugged, I understood the consequences of declining my father’s invitation, but I felt unbothered anyways. “Wear this, and look your best” My uncle said laying the gown on the bed beside me and walking away. I ignored the piece of material, but the silver necklace accompanying
MARCELLAS POV Dinner was pretty much quiet, no one said anything peculiar. I had expected father to throw more light on this new business deal as the anticipation was killing me, however, I knew not to over step boundaries and ask too many questions. Zak kept busy in his phone only occasionally engaging me in one random conversation or the other. In this brief interaction, I had gathered he was an underground dealer, pretty new in the business but good at what he does. I didn’t grabs what exactly he deals in as he avoided the questions severally. I also learned from our conversation that, he had joined police academy but could not complete his training because he suffered some depression when both his parents died around that time. He however still had a few corrupt connections in the academy that gave him solid police intel relevant for his business. Occasionally when Zak was buried in his phone, Uncle Tee would stretch his neck to peek and when my eyes met his, he gave some ki
MARCELLAS POVWe stayed hidden behind the sofa, at this point it was just Uncle Tee and Alejandro against the dozen men firing their guns at us. I would have counted my self as part but I had no knowledge about firearms even though I was raised in a mafia house.Uncle Tee and Alejandro exchanged a nod in unison then got up simultaneously, firing their guns across the room.“Go, go, go,” Uncle Tee yelled over the loud gun sounds.“Be ready to jump” Alejandro said dragging me with him.“Huh” I replied just as we jumped off the building through the shattered glass window into the ocean down below.It took a while for my lungs to adjust to the new surface area, nonetheless , I pushed up to the surface of the water quite easily. I couldn’t see my brother anywhere at the surface neither could I remember seeing Uncle Tee jump behind us. My brother was a good swimmer like myself hence I expected him to show up on the water surface any moment. I scanned the water surface one more time and c
MARCELLA’S POVFive days had passed, and there was no sign of Uncle Tee, no word from the Mexican mafia either. The awful silence around the manor was painful and tiring, no one had visited the manor the entire week not even fathers down-liners.El Russo himself had spent most of his time sitting on the balcony upstairs staring into space. Occasionally I would see him deeply lost in thoughts, he was clearly grieving his brother but tried not to look weak before us.This morning, one of the guards had informed me that, father wanted me at the club tonight. I hadn’t stepped foot there in almost eight years but this wasn’t the time to get on father’s nerves.I was nervous as the club wasn’t a place that resonated with my soul. By the time evening came, I was already dressed and ready for the club and by eleven pm, father and I had arrived.The smell of smoke and hard liquor quickly filled my nostrils, I wiggled my nose briefly allowing it to adjust to the new smell. Several sweaty bodi
I knew I looked beautiful; I could feel the heavy make up on my face as I struggled to hold back the drop of tear that had been meaning to fall. As I stood in-front of Michael and the priest, I eagerly scanned the nearly empty room, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, hoping secretly that my parents or at least my brother would be present on my wedding day. I could feel Michael’s heavy gaze on me as my feet grew colder.I tried to clear my throat to get rid of the huge lump I could feel forming from disappointment and then opened my mouth to answer the priest’s question, but before I could form any words, the huge gates of the church flung open and about seven heavily armed men barged into the room.“Everybody down” One of them ordered.I went down immediately with Michael hovering over me to form a protective shield. The priest hid behind the pulpit and the few people in the auditorium mostly from Michael’s family and friends group quickly hid under their chairs. I could hear silen

ANTONIO’S POVI don’t know how long it had been, a couple of minutes maybe, but I knew she was anxiously waiting. I looked at Alvarez wondering what news he had that couldn’t wait.I had asked Marcella to lay in bed, but just when I was about to go to her, my emergency phone vibrated in my pocket. After I had jumped into the river earlier to save her with the phone in my pocket, I was too upset and forgot to check on the phone, I didn’t expect it to still function. But when the device vibrated I knew I had to rush out.“Bravta, take a look at this” Alvarez finally spoke showing me his phone screen. “What is this” I asked snapping the phone from him. A picture of Marcella sat on the screen and under it the words Marked for $ninety million -Dead or Alive was boldly inscribed. My heart begun to race. I got up with a start, my fingers coiled tightly around the mobile device channeling all my anger to it. “Fuck” I exclaimed throwing the phone at the wall.To be marked in the mafia dark w
