The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 19: Drug Specimen
SarahThe past forty-eight hours have been pure torment. From a plaything, bought to satiate every dark whim of my new captor, to a guinea pig, subjected to test the potency of various hard drugs. Potent enough to knock me senseless within minutes. I need no confirmation; I'm back to being an addict, perpetually yearning for the next experiment. But for some reasons, no one has come to check on me. I lie wasted on the oversized mattress. Naked. To quote the Don's cruel words, "Clothes are but an impediment."I sniff hard, a hysterical cry rising within me. I crave more of that substance. That tiny stash I managed to smuggle from the testing room is exhausted. Madness feels like an understatement.Yet, there's one crucial thing the drug does: it fuels my craving, making me long for it even more. It grants me temporary distraction from my unbearable reality. With every inhalation, I escape to a glorious paradise, free of those beasts around me. I surge from the bed, pounding my fists on
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 20: Bullet Rain
MarcoOver thirteen guests has ordered me for a refill like some cheap waiter and Betty hasn't gotten back to me. The waiters aren't allowed anywhere close to the main banquet. My instincts must be right. Don Joe sure knows how to clear his tracks. I've thought about involving the cops, but that could implicate both Sarah and I. Especially now that Sarah's true identity is oblivious.I drop the serving tray, seeking for every way possible to break the fortress blocking me from my treasure —Sarah. There are lots of guards around and their countenance is nothing close to friendly. They're all armed and would stop at nothing to kill an intruder on sight. Walking cautiously into the main hall, I attempt a wild move, strolling along to the guards. The music blares and the people converged into the heart of the event, making the hallways scanty. “I have a direct order from Don,” I step towards one of guards.“The Don requested you?” the guard questions, scrutinizing me. Other guards turn t
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 21: Wild Goose Chase
MarcoIt's not the most elegant of hospitals but that was the nearest place away from danger and Sarah needs urgent medical attention. “We really should be finding our way out of this place before they trace us down here,” Betty insists frantically, while I await, at least, a word from one of these nurses parading the lobby. “We are not having this conversation again. I already told you. We leave only when she is fine. Like I said, you don't have to stay. Hit the road already.” I resume my attention more on the ward door, wanting them so desperately to swing open with a glimmer of good news.“Wait what? You really think I came this far only to just let her go? And to who? To some random stranger who nearly got us killed back there. I mean what were you even thinking jumping out of the car like that—”The doctor walks out of the ward. I rush towards him, leaving Betty behind.“Which one of you is related to Miss. Mayhill?” the doctor questions.“i am–”“I am–”We both respond, leaving
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 22: Under the Sea
MarcoStill on the run, I dial Betty’s number. After all, she’s the only familiar person in town that could pass for a partner in a strange land. Just when I think I've lost the cops chasing after me, two emerge abruptly from behind, as I continue down the busy road. A fragile package lays behind, one whose life hinges on me for both an escape and a survival. I wouldn't want my reckless driving contribute to her complications.“Hang in there, Sarah” I whisper to myself, finding the courage to dial Betty’s number as I proceed the wild chase. There’s just one cop car whirling behind me, matching the annoying siren above my head. I never imagined controlling an ambulance with an actual patient. A patient I'm so madly in love with. “Where the fuck are you!” Betty is the first to yell over the phone as she answers my call.“In a moving ambulance.”“oh great, you’re a patient now? I hope the bullet got into your skull—”“I’m fucking driving the ambulance!” I interrupt impatiently, “Thanks f
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 23: Forgotten Memory
Marco“Depends on what you mean by that, Marco. You never asked, remember?” Betty replies as I rush to meet Sarah, who, for one, has a vague expression on, staring weakly at us.“Get away from her,” Betty threatens, rushing into the clothes by the chair and leading Sarah out.“You know how worried I was that I lost her and yet you took advantage of the situation by forcing me to have—”“You think I was just going to stand back and watch your plan ruin everything I’ve been working for? Please snap out of that and be thankful. I had to take her out of the hospital while you busied yourself with disguising as a doctor for an escape. So pathetic.”I fall silent, watching Betty tuck Sarah back into bed in a small room opposite us. I don’t know how to feel. I really believed I lost her. But there’s something about this new Sarah. She doesn’t seem to recognize anyone. Especially me.“We’re taking you home, Maria. You’ll get enough rest now,” Betty tries to calm her down but Sarah continues to
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 24: Troubled Angel
Marco“Hey...hey…it’s okay. I’m here now. I won’t hurt you. Remember our deal, right?” I try to persuade her, my hands raised in the air in surrender.“I promised to take care of you…okay. Now give me the knife and let’s get you something to eat.”“NO! Get away from me.”“Please, Sarah. You’re bleeding,” I plead, as I notice her arm drenched in her own blood with no idea how she sustained the injury.“I won’t hesitate to rip you apart if you come one step closer.”“Fine. I’m right here. I’m not moving,” I reply, staying still, but my heart pounds heavily, as Sarah threatens me with the weapon.“Will you give it to me now?”“Move…” she commands, “Lead the way out.” My hands are still raised above my head, stepping out of the kitchen, backward, my gaze glued on the weapon.“Okay...See. I’m doing exactly as you say. Would you listen to me now?”“You’ll hurt me. You’re gonna kill me…” Sarah begins to panic.“Trust me, Sarah. I would never hurt you. I brought you here to protect you.”“You
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 25: Strange faces, one man
Sarah Captivity and addiction, were the only things i fought with. Now a new baggage has been added to the number. Memory loss. For more than two months, living has been a daily torture, passed around different Mafia lord like flying baseball and an aggressive glove engulfing me at every throw. It’s hard enough that my drug addiction cannot be satisfied, my new captor doesn’t seem to be any different from the rest. So much for his unnecessary handsome features. He sure doesn't have any intentions of protecting me. Here i am, stuck to yet another bed in cuffs. On the bright side, unlike the others, clothes are allowed. With a throbbing head that refused to cease since my discharge from the hospital, I swing down a side of my body towards the edge of the bed to reach for a glass of water. I'll do anything to get a relief. Someone had broken into my room earlier. It doesn't help that my memory fails yet again. He claimed we were friends from the past, but I've no hint of familiarity t

My nurse is back.Or was it just an act? Is she trying to fool me?We held hands in the most sensual ways. The way she asked for help. The same innocence.
