Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story/Celice Wylder
Madeleine“Mommy, are you a hooker?” Betsy suddenly asks.The brush falls from my hand and lands on the cluttered vanity with a loud thump. The question stops me cold. Her voice is soft, so innocent, but she’s red in the face, and her little lips are pressed firmly together when she crosses her arms over her chest.“Whu- uh- where did you hear that nonsense? Of course I’m not a hooker.”“School. Riana says hookers go to hell. Are you going to hell?”“No,” I answer, “and that’s not a nice thing to say. It’s not our decision to make."Betsy jumps up with her toy dog in her arms, and starts to bounce on the bed. “Hell, hell, hell, hell-hell-hell,” she sings. “Mommy’s going to heeeeell.”A wave of rage crashes over me. Blood roars through my veins, making me dizzy and short of breath. “Stop it!” I scream, much louder than I want to.“No!” She throws her dog at my head and jumps off the bed. She plants her fist in her hip and stomps her foot to the tune of, “I hate you! I hate you! No on

MadeleineThe VIP room is comfortably cool, but sweat drips from my brow and soaks into my uniform. I pull at the tight skirt, aware of the many eyes on me.Afterall, I’m not supposed to be here.The lounge is nothing like the rest of the casino. It’s quieter, more refined, and the extraction fans are working hard to suck out the cigar smoke and smell of alcohol.But the tension is suffocating. I don’t know if it’s just the men gathered around the tables causing it, or if it’s me.I have done my best to stay out of their way. A year and I’ve never crossed their path - until now.It’s true, our Heavenly Father doesn’t discriminate, but if the girls I used to live with saw me now, dressed in this skimpy outfit, mixing with the worst sinners this world has to offer, they'd fall to their knees and pray for my everlasting.Goodness knows, they nearly had a collective heart attack when they found me talking to Dom alone in the garden. And he was a decent man who was nothing like the infamou

Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story/Celice Wylder
MadeleineI wake up in a strange room. The air is fresh, quiet, and bright.I’m alive?The bed beneath me is softer than anything I’ve slept on in years, and the faint smell of cedar and leather clings to the air.My body feels heavy. My limbs ache as though I’ve been run over by a bus. My throat is dry, and it feels as if someone stuffed my head full of cotton.The first thing I hear are muffled voices right outside the door, droning in the background like a distant thunderstorm.“I can’t tell you what the long term consequences will be,” someone says in a cool, clinical voice. “ It is likely that there might be lasting damage to her nervous system.”“Is there anything you can do?” Rafael’s voice is low, soft, but no less commanding. “No. The dosage was extremely high. Frankly, Sir, I’m surprised she is still alive.” “Do everything you can for her.”The world swims in and out of focus, nausea pushes up in my throat, and I think I pass out. When I manage to drag my eyelids apart aga

Madeleine“Betsy!” I scream as I run from the apartment, my voice echoing down the hallway.The sunlight outside is blinding, but I barely notice. My heart pounds like a drum, and my breath comes in sharp, shallow bursts as I dash out into the shared courtyard, frantically scanning the dilapidated lawn and rusty play area.She’s not here!My mind spins. How could I let this happen? I should have been home two hours ago, in time to get Betsy up and ready for school.Where did she go? What if someone took her?“Betsy!” I call again, my voice cracking.A flicker of movement catches my eye. I spin around and relief floods through me. Clarissa, my neighbour, is walking toward me, holding Betsy’s hand.Betsy skips along at her side, her tiny yellow backpack bouncing with each step. My daughter did what she does every day. She got up, she dressed herself for school, and then she waited for me.Her eyes are bloodshot from all the crying, her little face swollen, and I can see faint bruises on

Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story/Celice Wylder
MadeleineI run as fast as my legs can carry me, not stopping until the school comes into view.I line up with the other parents who are here to pick up their children. I can’t wait to get Betsy out of here. I found a school for her. A good school. With other children who are like her. A place where they will understand and help her.I keep my head down, aware of the whispers behind my back. The parents cluster in small groups, chittering about me. “I wonder what she did this time?” Riana’s mother gossips. “Probably one of her johns,” another mother says. “I hear some men like that kind of thing."“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s no wonder that little bastard of hers is so… stunted. Poor kid has no mother to teach her any better. She should have dropped that baby on the church’s steps.”I shove my hands in my coat and curl my fingers into fists.“She’s a mess,” another woman mutters, her voice low but loud enough for me to hear.“Did you see her neck?” another says. “We should really phone the s
