Chapter 27Esmeralda"You're so beautiful Regina ." Matt said, Shaking his head. ( Queen)He grabbed his phone and took a picture of me."I will use this to blackmail your fiancee." He said and I shot him a glare.Not again.He raised his hands up, and sighed."Wrap this one up." He said, and they posh woman nodded.I didn't want to argue about it being too expensive. It was beautiful and if my fiancee wanted me all dolled up... who was I to say no? I thought, sarcasm dripping in my tone of thoughts.When we finished buying all we needed, we got into the car heading home.I brought out my phone and began to admire it.Jerry Chuckled, as he raised his hand. I dropped it on his palm.Dialing some numbers, he gave it to me when he was done.I frowned, wondering what he did only to see that he had saved three fucking numbers.JerryMattLoveNo one had to tell me who the love was. "Hey!" "Don't pout. It doesn't suit you." He said and sighed, dropping the phone on my leg.I would defini
Chapter 28EsmeraldaSilence fell again and I sighed."She's doing fine. Don't fucking ask about her again." He groaned, his eyes on his phone as he typed away.Fucker!"I'm not going to run away." I munmbled again and he looked up, his brow raised as he stared at me."And did you think you could run away?""I'm not going to even try..not that I don't know of a way to." I said again, my eyes lowered to the ground.He laughed. He actually laughed."And you think you can run and I won't find you? There's nothing and no one in this world that I can not find when my mind is set on it ." He clicked his tongue as if disappointed that I had actually thought of running away. (Little one)"And how did you think you were going to run that I wouldn't find you?" He asked again and I pinched my brows."I...I was going to sneak out and jump the fence." I answered and he bursted into laughter."Have you ever tried throwing something up the fence and see what happens to things that try to do that?"
Chapter 29EsmeraldaMy legs pressed together before I could even know it.I looked up at him and he smirked before looking away.Why was I feeling this way? It felt like a pool of water had resided in between my legs.I bit my lips, as I began to eat peacefully without saying a word. I wouldn't dare say something that would tick him off."You're not talking. That's a good thing." He said, and I faked a laugh."That's a good..." I looked up, my face flushing as I recalled what he'd do if I were to talk."Brian!" We both turned to the little voices and it was two women walking to our table."Victoria." Brian stood up and gave the other a hug while she kissed his cheek."Anna." He called for the other to do the same.He was actually smiling with them.I felt something drop in my stomach to see him like this."Who's this person Brian?" The first lady in a yellow dress asked, raising a brow at me.Fuck you!"She's my fiancee. Now off you go, I have to tell her something to remember." He s
Chapter 30"Did I do well?" I asked as we headed out side.Seems like our little party was over."You were shaking, idiot. And looking at they women, you should be thankful I followed you there unless they'd kill you and throw your body into the ocean. You do know they're part of the Mafia yes?" He gave me a black look and I frowned."You dragged me there to tell them whatever that was on my mind and now you're blaming me?"This man was nut!"Where to Boss?" Dave asked from the driver side or the limo and I smiled.Leaning closer to the glass that divided us both."Hi Davey. Long time no see." I mumbled and he chuckled."Hi too Miss Ralda. It seems like you enjoyed yourself there." Dave said and I sighed."We didn't even spend up to an hour there. It was nothing but destruction." I said, and he laughed."Dave. The car. The penthouse. Let me not say it again." Brian ordered, probably irritated with our conversation.Dick!"Where are we going? Which Penthouse are we going to?" I asked b
Chapter 31EsmeraldaIn as much as I hated today, I didn't help but smile as the makeup artists decorated my face.Well..it was my wedding day!After today, I'd be Mrs Esmeralda Wayne Maxwell.The name didn't really add up, you see."Are you okay ma'am?""Oh, yes I am." I mumbled, flicking over my phone as I dialed Matt's number.He was now my number one person and friend.He was so horrible at telling jokes but that made it even more funnier."Hello." I mumbled."Hello baby..is that you?" He mumbled and I laughed.I could see the make-up artist trying to squint her eyes into my phone.The door bursted open and he walked in."Hey." I said, hanging up on the call and he sighed."Did you get tired and decided to call me here baby?" He asked, walking closer as he sat down on the makeup table."Stop calling me that." I said, and looked at the mirror again..just in time to see the woman sighed in relief.I shook my head.Did she think I was cheating on their Boss? Their Mafia Leader?"Why
Chapter 32The party had ended already and we were heading home.. Brian was silent unlike usual. Thinking about what we would do at home once we got there couldn't let me relax at all.I would glance up at him but there was no emotion on his face.He was staring at his phone like usual but then...he was staring at me as well.I sniffed, trying to get his attention but he turned towards me and threw a glare."We got married." I tried to make the atmosphere a little free from the tenseness."So? What about it?" He was staring at me."What about Chelsea?""Never thought that would be something you'd like to talk about after your wedding but it's okay..." He muttered as I frowned."First of all, Chelsea is not a thing and second of all....I had a tattooed priest who had a gun attached to his holster read me a vow that didn't even match what the Priest use to read...so sorry for talking about this just after my wedding cause I don't fucking care." I snapped at him.A smile crossed his feat
Chapter 33The morning sun was bright as usual.I woke up early, sitting up and glancing around the room. After Brian had come out of the bathroom, he walked out of the room and I hadn't seen him at all again.Silently, I walked to the bathroom and took my bath, after cleaning myself..I cleaned the room.. taking out the roses and the condoms.Who would have dropped all these here? was it Jerry? Certainly not! I hadn't seen him for a while now. He didn't even come to the wedding!Was it Matt? I certainly thought so.Putting on a baggy trouser and a baggy top I assumed was Brian, I walked out of the room and stood by the rails looking down at the beautiful estate that I couldn't leave.I heard footsteps and I turned to see Matt, walking towards me."Good morning Matt." I greeted and he smiled."Good morning princess.""Are you okay?" Matt asked and I nodded."I thought you all were going to leave cause it's our honeymoon, remember?" I said and he laughed."Honeymoon aren't Brian's thing
Chapter 34EsmeraldaThe evening went on as if it never wanted to end.I was now in the pool outside, my legs dipped in the warm water that caressed my skin, reminded me of those days I would go to the stream with Chelsea to wash our clothes cause we couldn't afford to go to the town's laundry service."Can I join you?" I turned to see Jerry, with a glass of wine in his hands and a plate of bruschetta as he stared down at me."You can at anytime. I'm not the owner of the pool." I said, and he chuckled before sitting down.Thank god he was wearing a short cause his trousers would be soaking wet. The pool was magnificent!"You want?" He asked, raising the plate of delicious mouth watering bruschetta at me.I nodded, picking a tooth pick and taking one large bruschetta before grabbing it with my hand and began to chew. It was delicious."Are you okay?'"No.""Wanna talk about it?" He asked again, gulping down the wine."I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it. You won't even ans
SIX MONTHS LATEREsmeralda"I don't know what I want." I mumbled, biting hard on the Doritos Jerry had gotten me."Please just eat the Doritos and stop bothering the hell out of me." 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
