The Mafia’s Mute obsession
"Here is how I lock it," he said. "From tonight, you don't belong to this house. You belong to me." He said it slowly, like he wanted each word to land. "Your hands. Your eyes. Your silence. Your life, since you offered it so freely."
I couldn't breathe
***
I was broken long before I ever set foot in this mansion.Unwanted before I was ever placed here. Passed along like a burden nobody wanted to carry, by hands that hurt more than they ever helped. By the time I arrived, silence wasn't just something that happened to me it was the only thing I had left to protect.
I'm invisible in this mansion the maid nobody sees, nobody defends, nobody remembers. Invisibility has kept me alive for two years.
Then, one rainy night, I heard something I was never supposed to hear. A secret belonging to Lazarus De Morgan, the most feared mafia in this city.
I can't explain myself. I can't lie my way out. I can't even scream.
All I‘ve is silence, and a notebook that has become the only voice I've ever had.
Now there's a tracker under my skin and a phone I can never let go off. I'm not just his maid anymore. I'm his witness. His spy. His to own, His to command whether I make it out of this alive.
I tell myself it's only my silence he wants.
But the way he looks at me isn't the look of a man guarding a secret. It's the look of a man deciding exactly how much he wants to own.
And somewhere in his world of blood, debts, and buried enemies, I've become something he didn't plan for.Because the secrets were never the most dangerous thing in his world.
HE IS.

Chapter: Chapter 9: she reminds me of someoneI didn’t even realize when my tip was poking through my silk nightdress. I tried to calm, pressing my arm over my chest, embarrassed by how noticeable it was.Thankfully Lazarus wasn't paying attention to me so I was glad.I was nineteen, I’ll be twenty in September, it was march now, and my feelings were all over the place. I had never been allowed to want anything and never been with a guy or man I truly wanted. The maids couldn’t leave the mansion on their own, and after everything I had lived through while growing up, I had trained myself to push every feeling down and keep it quiet. It was easier. It was safer.But standing in the same room as him, with his scent still clinging in the air and his hand’s warmth still lingering on my skin, it was getting harder to pretend I felt nothing.Teenagers hormones can’t be stopped, I thought foolishly to myself. I had once hated men with my guts but something about Lazarus kept pulling me closer.Or could it be just his handsomeness, bec

Chapter: Chapter 8: The bathroom incidentThe light came on.Our eyes locked in together, his strong emerald bright green eyes looking intensely at me, that I couldn’t help myself gulping down, realizing how close he was.I’d noticed his eyes looking at my neck and trailing down to my bare chest. When I pulled myself out of his embrace and hurriedly took a towel from the racks and covered myself in a not so swift move, clumsy move is the word.My face burning and my heart racing from the fall and now from him seeing me naked, cause I could swear he did see my b**bs, I thought to myself.Lazarus didn’t look away, A slow smirk crossed his face, then he stepped closer and brushed a strand of wet hair away from my mouth with a slight smile “I held my breathe””The light had an issue“ but it’s back now, continue with your shower and be out in the next three minutes. he said as he left the bathroom.I stood there gripping the towel, my knees weak, my skin still warm where his fingers had been.What is he doing to me? I thought.And

Chapter: Chapter 7:Come to my private suite now!LazarusThe door clicked shut behind her, and Lazarus stood still for a long moment.He could still feel it. A strand of her hair, soft as thread, slipping between his fingers. And the scent. When he had leaned close to her ear, he could smell something soft and clean, like vanilla and a warm shampoo. It was nothing expensive. Mixture of vanilla and coco.Careless, he thought. That was careless.He crossed the room and poured himself a drink. He didn’t touch it. He stood at the window instead, watching the other maids work outside the glass window and thought about the way she had looked at him with her puppy doe brown eyes.She had been terrified. He had seen it in her eyes, in the way her breath caught when he leaned close and her busty chest raising up and down in fear,That part he understood. Fear was a language he spoke fluently. Most people shook when he stood that near, and he rarely noticed anymore.But under the fear, there had been something else.She had not looked away, she

Chapter: Chapter 6: His smile captivated me.Got lost in his smile, till I snapped back.With my phone slapped away from my hands.I removed the little notepad in my pocket and wrote as fast as my shaking thumbs would let me.I’ll clean your whole private suite, sir. Every room. Every day, if you want.I held out the notepad to his face. My heart was pounding so hard.Lazarus read it. Then he smirked evily and shook his head slowly, like I had said something that disappointed him.“Too simple,” he said.I stared at him. He stood too close, his hand resting firmly over my waist, firm and unmoving, as if he wanted me to know I couldn’t step back. I didn’t try.I need something more daring, Delia.Your punishment shouldn’t be light, don’t you think?. “Think again.” He said.Oh my Gosh he would be the death of me, I thought to myselfMy mind raced. What does he want? What can I possibly give him? Definitely not sex. Inasmuch as his handsomeness do drive me crazy most of the times, I won’t ever want to be forcefully made to have s*x I

Chapter: Chapter 5: Hot manga zaddyMy phone buzzed. Lazarus!! My eyes bugged out!Bring me my wine from the cellar. Leroy Musigny Grand Cru. Fast.I was still half-dressed when the message came in. I didn't even finish pulling on my shoes before I bolted out the door, my feet slipping on the stairs, my heart pounding harder with every step.Five minutes. That was all I had. I didn't know what would happen if I was late, and I didn't want to find out.The cellar was cold and dark, rows and rows of bottles lined up like soldiers. I didn't even know where to start. My eyes scanned label after label, my hands trembling as I searched, my breath coming faster the longer it took.Leroy Musigny. Leroy Musigny. Where is it?Finally, I found it, tucked near the back, dust clinging to its shoulders like it had been resting there for years, waiting.Since he was rarely around, I lifted it carefully, both hands wrapped around the glass like it was something alive, like I was carrying a baby also.I could tell just from the label it

Chapter: Chapter 4: The pervertWhen Lazarus disappeared around the corner, my legs gave out.I sank onto the wet stones, shaking so hard I couldn’t hold the notebook I no longer had. My cheek still felt warm where his hand had been, and I hated that I noticed.I belong to you.I had written it twice, in my own handwriting.“Well. Look at the mice the garden caught.”I flinched and looked up.Leo stood a few steps away, thin, with sharp features and a smile that sat too wide on his face. A folded blanket hung from his arm. I had seen him around the mansion, always at the edge of the rooms of some of the maids, always watching them. I could tell he mostly had free time onhis hands.Heard he was a pervert and a womanizer, some maids at the mansion do have s*x with him to get a thing or two from him, mostly money. I‘ve also heard he can be brutal and doesn’t hesitate to kill.He tossed the blanket at me. It landed in my lap, and I didn’t touch it.Take it, he said. You look like a drowned rat. He winked. “A cute mute
