Esmeralda Peters had never thought her life would be that of a fairytale or maybe a nightmare. Living in the Eastern part of LA, she stayed away from the Local Mafias and their doings. But then, it was of no use. One way or the other..she had become the Mafia's obsession and she hated it. Her father being the gambler he was known for had gone ahead to gamble the devil's money. He was a brutal being, but she was everything an angel could possess. He was a killer, she was just a normal girl who wanted nothing but a mundane life like others, but NOW, there was no escaping her Monster.

Jerry said, and scoffed.. slumping down on the couch.Tears filled my eyes as if I'd been stabbed with thousands ofn needles.How could he yell at me?"Brian!" I yelled at the top of my voice and he instantly ran down the stairs."What's wrong?" He frowned, nearing the table where I sat."Jerry yelled at me. Called me fat and plumpy, he insulted me." I cried, staring at Jerry who didn't even bother to look at us."Jerry." Brian called darkly."Don't tell me you believe whatever she says." Jerry chuckled and hissed loudly."What did you say to her?""Nothing." He mumbled and walked out of the living room.I giggled and stood up immediately."Baby." Brian gave me a weird look."I just did all that to piss him off." I sighed. "He keeps telling me to go cook with this..." I patted my belly. "Wi
Chapter 65EsmeraldaWhen we got closer to the location, Brian and they rest stopped a block away from the location.They got out of the car and Dave took me there... making it seem normal."Don't fret." Matt said, through the small listening device in my ear.When I and Dave got to the location, I stepped down and dialed the line she had used in calling me."I'll call you when I need you, Dave." I said, waving my hand and he nodded, zooming."Hello, Mom?" "You still call me Mom." She said."Well, I can't blame God for giving me a mother like you...And remember." I mumbled. "This is only for Chelsea." I said, looking around."Where are you?""I'm looking at you, a man will come up to you right now...follow him." She said."Follow who? I'll leave right now..if you don't fucking come down here." I scoffed. "After all these years, you wanna send an assistant to come bring me up?" I chuckled. "Seems like your writing business is really paying off, for you to even have a writer." I mumble
Chapter 64EsmeraldaI froze.The fuck did he just say?"My mother?" I asked to be sure Brian wasn't playing with me. "She called me? How the hell did she get my line?" I asked."That's what I'm suppose to be asking baby, how the hell did she get your line?" He walked back to his seat."And how would I know about that?" I glared at him.And then they began to speak in Italian again.Brian said less, his eyes on me the whole time he spoke..he didn't bat a lash as he watched me with his beautiful eyes."We believe that your mother may have gotten involved with the mafia and she's just a tool to get to you and then to me." Brian said, flipping the cover of the iPad that he placed on the table.Wait...what?Was Brian on crack or eggnog? The guy had been acting so weird...and I was thinking it was not only because I had slept in the tub."That's impossible." I chuckled. "My mother left my Dad and joined a writing team in Texas. Never heard from her ever since but she always sent letters t
Chapter 63EsmeraldaBrian didn't say a thing, his eyes fixed on me as his left thumb kept brushing my hair.Should I have said that?I swallowed.What if he didn't feel the same way?He had told me several times about how he cared about me.I laughed."Are you hungry?" I asked, but he said nothing."Are you?" I slowly crawled out of his arms."I'm not." He mumbled."Oh..okay. I am." I said, picking up the phone.When I was done requesting for what we wanted, I headed to the bathroom...the duvet wrapped around me.When I got into the bathroom, I shut the door close and sat on the floor, not after arranging the duvet on the counter so it wouldn't touch the watery ground.I turned on the shower and settled myself in the tub.Had I been too fast in telling him about my feelings?We were happy.Wasn't it because of love? 'No. He cared for you. Caring for someone doesn't mean love.' My subconsciousness woke up Instantly."No." I shook my head, feeling the water Cascade down my little body
Chapter 62EsmeraldaWe stood outside the balcony for hours,till the party ended, till it was midnight and till everywhere went calm and silent. Brian's hand never left my back as he pulled me closer to himself."Did you let Chelsea know that I wasn't kidnapped?" I asked."I see that you've been so happy to come here. Look how you've been smiling." He kissed my nose."I've been missing you as well and yes." I nodded. "I enjoyed staying here, you know. Nice food and quiet..""You can always stay here, you know." He cut me off, before I could even finish. "I'm sure Father would love you to stay here and help him water his garden every now and then...the old man is now weak and that's now a problem for him." Brian said."You're taking about your Father, Brian. I'm going to spank some sense into you if you don't learn how to talk...""You'll spank me?" He raised a brow. "I see that you've grown some wings just a night here." He chuckled and then added. "He's not my Father but Uncle.""Bu
Chapter 61EsmeraldaThe bright morning sun shone brightly in the room as I opened my eyes.I was missing home so badly. I was missing those arms around my body when I wake up, only to be present a creature God had taken time to create.A knock on my bedroom door made me sit up."Who is there?'"It's me, ma'am." The maid I had met yesterday said.Her name sounded weird,so I didn't recall it all."Oh.." I yawned and stood up from the bed.Today was the party right?"Come in dear." I said, pushing the duvet off me and I placed my feet on the cold ground."Ma'am." She gave a slight bow."Please... Ralda would do." I said and her eyes widened before she dropped it back to the ground."I can't Ma'am. There is a punishment that follows that." She said."Ohh." I nodded."Okay. You can call me anything that won't get you into trouble, outside but when we're in here...call me Ralda." I said.She frowned, contemplating about it before a smile brightened her face."Okay, Miss Ralda." She said."
Chapter 60BrianThe unsettling feeling crept to my guts as I watched Ralda ran out of the mall."She's going to be fine." Matt said, and shrugged as he picked Chelsea up and placed her on the counter.I glared at Matt away walking away and out of the mall to our car.When I got to the car, there was no sign of Ralda... neither was she nearby.My eyes trailed down the floor, and there was her floppy slippers and my wallet.Fuck!I took out my pocketed phone and dialed Jerry's number."I need you to track Ralda right now. She was taken." I ordered, and disconnected the call.Ever since I was little, I was trained to be a beast. A beast created and nurtured by his own family.Although my Mama was a sane woman, always did the right thing... she couldn't save me from My father.I didn't blame her when she had began to distance herself from me, cause I'd only bring her pain...when Papa would figure out she was feeding me when he asked her not to.He would beat her with a belt, gag her and
Chapter 59EsmeraldaThe car sped out of the highway to another lane.I could feel my heart thrashing in my small body.My legs and my hands were both tied together.I groaned, sitting up at the back of the car.A man was in front of me, a black mask covering his face."Sleep." Was all he said, and looked away."Please.." I whispered. "My husband can pay you whatever you want, doing this isn't what you really want and...""Another word from you Regina and I'll gag you." He said curtly.I swallowed. My knee was aching me so badly with the way I was sitting, and my back? Words couldn't even describe how much it hurts, probably because of the metal behind me.Didn't they know that I am a woman?"We're here." The emotional man said, as he leaned down to untie my hands."Don't try anything stupid sweetie, if you try to run... I'll put a bullet into your head." He said. "We wouldn't want our dearest husband to find us with a bullet between our eyes, no?"I nodded, as he untied the strong ro
Chapter 58EsmeraldaI breathed in Russia's fresh early morning air and rubbed my feet in the sand.We were leaving Russia tommorow and I was relishing the time we spent here. It was amazing, it was nice.Although Russia had many Ill memories for Brian, but I knew he was overcoming them little by little."What?" I arched a brow as he kept watching me, stick my feet into the mud."You're Twenty Three years old now, right?" He asked and I nodded."Yes, what's the point?" I asked, clearly knowing where this was headed."No, it's okay." He waved his hand in the air. "I didn't say anything." He said.I rolled my eyes.He was calling me childish."I am your child." I said."I'm Twenty Eight, I don't think it's possible to have a child of Twenty Three baby." He said curtly, taking a chair on the lawn."Flamiyo bitches.... flamiyo." I whined and gasped as if realization dawned on me right there. "I didn't know you were this old and senile." I said.His eyes flew open and met mine before a sm
Chapter 1The small door opened widely, as she peered her eyes inside.She'd met many people who wanted her dead but none took her to a place like this.It smelt of death, and she hated the stench!"Where is this place Ralda?? Are we going to die now and go to heaven?" Her little sister started whimpering.She sure didn't like it here. Neither did the little girl. "We're going to be fine Chelsea. Stop crying." She tried to console her younger sister but she didn't listen.The little one's whimpers turned to yells. Ralda couldn't do a thing.. she didn't even know why they were there.But then... She knew who might be the reason. "Who brought us here Ralda?" She cried the more, burying her head into her sister's big skirt.Esmeralda's eyes blurred with tears too. "I'm so sorry Chelsea.. but I don't know." She whimpered.Just a while ago... they were at home.About to eat the leftover she had brought from work.That was the only thing she could remember, as she racked her head....
