Bella If you looked up the word “careless laughter” I’m pretty sure I would come up as a reference picture. I got too carried away with Scarface's stories I ended up knocking his drink over, getting us covered in whiskey. I shut my eyes, expecting him to hit me or yell as I’ve seen the other men do to clumsy girls Instead, I felt soft pats on my face and neck. I opened my eyes to find him carefully dabbing at the spots the drink got on me with a white handkerchief, he hadn’t even cleaned himself. It was the first time a man was touching me without sexual intent and it was a very odd feeling to me, I stood awkwardly, watching him, scared to say a word. He looked strange doing something with so much care and intricacy. He was respectful enough to skip my cleavage as he cleaned him up, it was not the type of gentleness you’d expect from a man like him. I started wondering how many times he’d been misjudged because of the way he looked and his scar. “I’m sorry Bella, I

Bella. ‘My nose was the first of my senses to wake as the overpowering stench of what I suspected to be rotting flesh filled my nostrils, almost choking me. I coughed a few times, prying my eyes open, but I couldn’t see a thing. I went into an instant panic, thinking I’d gone blind and my hands tried to rub my eyes but were met with restriction. I was tied and blindfolded. Slowly, reality began to set in, I remember matching through the valley, hurrying to catch up with my friends before my face was suddenly covered, followed by a painful sting on my neck and it all went black. It wasn’t a bad dream. I was kidnapped, panic and fear started setting in, and the stench of the cold room suddenly faded away as I thrashed in my position trying to free myself. A heavy sob left me and I started screaming at the top of my lungs. I couldn’t utter anything intelligible, I just needed someone to hear me scream. How long have I been out? What about my parents? Were they looking for me?

Bella.The past few weeks were remarkably different from my first months at The Rave. Miss Carter has been breathing down my neck, complaining of all the plates I’ve broken and orders I’ve mixed up. I was currently serving punishment for mixing a client's order and triggering his allergy. I couldn’t help the smile that curled at my lips when he started choking, he’d made it a point to smack my ass whenever I rounded his table. Watching him suffer pleased me.Unfortunately, Miss Carter was watching and concluded I had mixed the orders on purpose, hence my current position in the kitchen, cleaning and scrubbing after she dismissed the rest of the staff.“How does it feel when one falls from grace?” A voice asked behind me, startling me and sending my neck whipping to the back.Anna leaned on the kitchen door, lazily filling her fingers as she gave me a condescending look.After weeks of training and competitions, Miss Carter finally chose her as my replacement at the dungeon and she h

DANTEThere are three things I don’t joke with; my money, my family, my cock, and currently, someone was tugging tightly on my business.I don’t understand how people know very well the consequences of their actions and yet they go ahead with it expecting different outcomes.I’ve made it a point to make an example of whoever messed with my business, yet a new asshole rates its ugly head every year.Someone had the guts to attempt to burn down one of my Casinos in Miami. I say ‘attempt’ because there’s no way they really thought they were going to succeed.I rolled the cigar in my hand, taking in the intricate markings and how well it was wrapped, It reminded of me it in a way. Tightly wrapped, keeping every bit compact and pressed inside, no room for anything new, and the only way to destroy what was rolled in was with fire.While I greatly admire the morale of the idiot because it takes a person with guts of steel to embark on such a mission. My fingers tingled from all the ways I im

DANTE “We need to get Bella back into the dungeon,” Luca said the moment I stepped into my office. He was already seated and waiting for me to conclude my meeting.“The profit has dropped by almost 80% and the patrons don’t even bid over 5,000 dollars. She messed up but if you’re not getting rid of her, why not put her back to work and get your money's worth from her body.”“Hello to you too brother, I see you’re in a fine mood today,” I reply, unbuttoning my suit and rolling my sleeves to get to work. I had a stack of files that would put the Eiffel Tower to shame on my desk.While it might be considered backward by most people, I preferred to run most of my transactions on paper. I got Enzo to keep a digital format and all but everything else was essentially on paper.Computers had a way of doing away with the process, deleting all the errors, and the cancelations, presenting you with a clean pristine document to work with. I preferred a raw manuscript with the side notes and all.

BELLA“Are you okay?” Viv rushed to my side as I slowly walked into my room. She has my spare key and could come in any time her roommate was being a bitch and unbearable. I held out my arm for her to hold while slowly making my way to my bed. Lost in need to fall into the soft comfort of my mattress, I forgot one shouldn’t be sitting on their ass after they’ve been repeatedly spanked. The pain shot through me like a red-hot spike, and I almost fell off the bed. Viv pulled me into a hug, rocking me sideways after I settled into a fetal position. I held in the sob gathered at the base of my throat, I don’t cry when someone is watching. “What happened to you, Bella? Did anyone hurt you?” She asked, her eyes filled with concern as she released me from her hold, inspecting my body. It was quite unfortunate the marks she was looking for were well hidden and neatly tucked inside my tights. “I’m okay Viv, I slipped on a liquid on the kitchen floor and fell on my ass. I think I might’ve s

DANTE “Someone is hot on your tail and whoever they are, are really great at covering their tracks. They use encrypted messages that self-destruct the moment they’ve been read and make payments via crypto and cash.” Enzo commented coming to sit next to me on the bench set outside the boxing ring. Another of my establishments took a hit and I wasn’t as lucky as I was the last time. I cracked my neck, rolling the tension from my shoulders. When I catch whoever this is, and I will catch him, I’ll make sure his death is as slow as possible. I took out my phone, observing the scene playing out on my screen. A thick blanket of black smoke covered the whole area, making it almost impossible to make out the structure on fire. Luca said it all happened too fast and this time, a suicide bomber was used otherwise the CCTVs would’ve caught on any foul play or someone attempting to plant anything. A suicide bomber was a stretch, even I had not considered hiring one of those and I’ve had

EIGHTEEN

BELLAA blunt knife from the 1800s could seamlessly slice through the tension that’s been building at The Rave for the past few days. Miss Carter said it was an annual event the Cosa Nostra families in New York hosted yearly to maintain peace and civility amongst them to keep business running smoothly.A concept I found hilarious because I’ve listened to some of these men talk and I know for a fact they won’t hesitate to set each other on fire. A ball to celebrate peace and civility sounds foolish to me but I guess it’s what kept business running.The Mafia is not native to New York as I’ve come to discover and their operations were mostly camouflaged as business deals, unlike their hometown where the Cosa Nostra is well known and respected down to the church.You heard me right, down to the church. When I found out Dante had a little church in the basement I completely lost my marbles.I knew the Italians took the church seriously with Rome and all that but you can’t have a whole ch

NINETEEN

BELLA“Stay out of my way.” Anna pushed past me, snatching the red lipstick I was using off my hands. We were currently in what Vivian liked to call the beauty room. It was a room with all kinds of make-up and clothes for us to pick from whenever we had to make an appearance or perform.Vivian threw me a knowing glance and we both laughed at her stupid antics, earning me a stink eye from her.“I know you fucked the boss in exchange for a spot but I’ll have you know you’ll not be taking my place. I already made some friends among the patrons and they love me. You’re a thing of the past, long forgotten, and should just stay there like every other antic.” She spat, almost pushing me off the vanity.If I was not so focused on my goals for the night, I would’ve given her a taste of her own medicine but I had a bigger fish to fry.“You just wait and see, the moment I climb onto that stage, no one would cast you as much as a glance. One of the patrons has promised to buy me from the Don aft

BELLAIt’s been three days since Anna and I were locked in the dungeon cells. Maybe it was four or five? Possibly seven. I had lost count.Safe for the unstable light bulb hanging loosely off the wall, the room had no lighting and there was no way to know what day it was, not to talk of time. The days blurred into a continuous loop of sad, empty, and agonizing moments.There was also no bed or chair, just a ragged piece of mattress on the floor which was supposed to be for one person. We took turns sleeping on it even though it provided little to no comfort in comparison to the cold hard floor.At least whoever built this hell was ‘kind’ enough to remember the need for relief and put in a water closet and a sink next to it. We used the water from the sink to clean our intimate areas -which was barely a thorough cleansing as there was no soap- There was no opening for the water to flow out so we couldn’t have a full bath.The downside of this generosity was having to sit through the st
