Saving Sarah
Heartbroken Sarah makes an impulsive decision to become a nun all against her father's advice, but due to her adamance, she unfortunately finds herself trapped in a human-trafficking underworld disguising as a convent.
Having being noted for her inquisitiveness, feistiness and defiance by those in charge, she was selected as the ultimate price to be auctioned off to the highest bidder of buyers consisting of dangerous men and women in illegal businesses who often patronized the 'convent'.
Whilst secretly plotting an escape with her friends, Sarah runs smack into Stefano Franchetti, an infamous Mafia Lord who is feared and respected by all. Unable to decipher why exactly he's drawn to her, it became his mission to keep her from the other predators after outbidding his arch enemy and adversary, Guiliano, who is rather obsessed with her and was determined to get her at all cost to fulfill a long overdue fantasy, even if it meant annihilating Franchetti first.
But Guiliano didn't have to do much since Sarah who was determined to still escape to freedom from the supposed protection of Franchetti would rather make his life a living hell until he's forced to give her up.
But could he give her up after she had innocently managed to worm her way into his cold heart despite the fact that she was pushing him to the point where he'd rather put her over his knee to instill some manners on her?

Chapter: 23. No one dares the FranchettisNone of the men dared to move. Some even averted their gazes, except Giuliano who just glared at him, quietly seething. Stefano turned around, waiting patiently for a victim stupid enough to dare him, but none stepped forward even after several minutes of uncomfortable silence passed. "Thought as much," he said finally. "Renata, she's all yours!" He gently nudged Sarah towards Renata, who quickly put Sarah beside her protectively.Sarah looked up at Stefano, amazed and stunned by his prowess. How could a man be this fearless? She cleared her throat and swallowed hard as she remembered that she had to return his coat. "Your coat?"Stefano stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Keep it or burn it! Whichever suits you."Sarah raised surprised brows. She knew expensive clothes when she saw one, and this was definitely one from a famous designer who she was partially familiar with. How could he ask her to burn something as expensive as this?"The men will see you off to safety, Rena

Chapter: 24. Her saviourArmo hurried down the stairs, down into the open courtyard. "Don't shoot her God-damn-it!!! I need her alive!!! Go after the others, you sick fucks!" He yelled at his men who were confused on whether to shoot Sarah or risk letting the other women escape. Sarah dauntlessly stood her ground, still boldly shielding the escaping women. When she heard a car start, then zoomed out the front gate with such speed, she knew the women had stolen one of the guests’ cars and had finally escaped even though some of the men tried to shoot at the tires, but failed. When she was sure the women had a good start in case the men decided to give chase, she finally put her arms down in satisfaction, but the metallic taste of Gladys’ blood in her mouth immediately plunged her into sadness and despair. She still couldn’t believe that Anita and Gladys were indeed dead. They were here alive and breathing a minute ago, and dead the next minute. She snapped out of her mood to see Armo advancing towards her

Chapter: 21. Blood!Gladys sat on her buttocks and kicked the rusted grate with both feet, and it burst open with a loud squeak, swinging outward and slamming against the concrete wall. She crawled out into the open and straightened up, inhaling the wonderful night's fresh breeze. When the other women joined her, she said, looking up at the moon in awe. "Beautiful, isn't it? The smell of freedom." She inhaled then exhaled deeply."Yes, which is imminent. Where's the lot?" Sarah asked rather impatiently. There was no time to waste on admiring the moon; they needed to get going.Gladys pointed at the far end of the compound. "Over there! We need to hurry." She strode into the open with the other women, away from the shadows of the building."You will have to take off those damn heels, or you'll give away our cover and location with their sound," Gladys said to Sarah. Sarah was about to take off the shoes when they heard several footsteps approaching. The women all turned around in fright to see armed m

Chapter: 20. Find them and kill them all! "Ewww..." Yin whined as she shook some filth off her palm. "Is that rat poop?"They had reached a point in the tunnels where they could no longer walk upright, so they hadn't resorted to crawling on their hands and knees on one of the wet and greasy narrow ledges along the wall.Gladys who was leading the group by crawling at the front through the narrow tunnel on the edge of the gutter which flowed with filthy sewage water beside them, teased -"You could taste it and find mout." Yin snorted and continued crawling, with Florence behind her. "How far do we still have to go? We have been crawling in this thing like forever," Florence asked in discomfort. The smell of the sewage was beginning to get to her."Just a couple of turns and we’ll be there," Gladys replied, knocking a rat into the gutter that had been coming her way from the opposite direction."And when we get to the parking lot, what do we do?" Florence asked again."Steal a car," Gladys simply

Chapter: 19. Threatening Renata"I have to get outta here," Stefano said, glancing down at his wristwatch."You are obviously not a patient man," Renata commented. "We haven't even claimed our prize yet, Stefano.""And that's where you come in," Stefano stated. "I gave you the girl, be grateful." Dino approached him. "Boss, we are running late. Buscetta just called again." "The bloody fool can wait a while."Dino sighed, and returned to stand at his former position, while Renata said to Stefano. "You really should be mindful of how you treat your business associates, you know. At least treat them with a little respect, Stefano.""And what would you know about running a business?" Stefano asked drily."I own a burlesque, remember?" Stefano scoffed. "And I'm a mafia boss. You can't compare that to your burlesque." He said the last word in spite. "You entertain, I negotiate and call the shots. In my business, respect is earned, not bought.""I wouldn't say otherwise, but what makes good business is your way of asso

Chapter: 18. The escape"You win then, madam Renata! The vedova nera is sold! She's all yours!" Armo announced, then turned to his personal guard, Efisio, and whispered- "Go bring me the black widow."Efisio nodded, while Armo turned and smiled back at the little crowd. He glanced at the Abbess who had been standing beside him throughout the whole transaction. "Madam Felicia. I see you are here all alone. Where's your little wench?" He teased."She has taken ill," the abbess simply answered."I see," Armo said, eyeing her for a few seconds when Efisio returned and whispered to him."Se n'è andata. Se ne sono andate tutte." (She's gone. They are all gone). He said.Armo's brow creased with a frown. "What do you mean by she's gone? Are you fucking outta your mind? That's impossible!""Boss, I checked. They are all gone," he repeated"And the damn guards I stationed outside their door?""Knocked out cold." Armo ground his jaw in anger. "I sure hope it is not what I'm thinking." Then he smiled evilly when a t

Chapter: 31. Rejected by the pack Darius glanced from his beta, Herrick, and back to Theresa who was standing in the middle of the crowded courtroom. "How credible is this story of yours, Theresa?"Theresa sighed in frustration. She had been trying to convince the guardians with her story about the mermaids, but the looks on their faces only showed that they doubted her. "I saw them with my own eyes...all nine of them!""Nine?" Elaine leaned from the wall behind her husband and approached him, stopping by his side. "Dear, I don't think she has any reason to lie about such a thing; she might be telling the truth for all we know."Darius looked up at his wife. "Elaine, you and I know that mermaids are extinct, and even if they are not, they wouldn't come to us for help, they are a proud clan.""But Theresa did mention one who journeyed alongside the royal ship with her to Pragoth, isn't that proof enough?" Elaine pressed."And why haven't we seen or heard anything about this particular mermaid in q

Chapter: 30. Notice me for once!"It's your favourite meal," Stella said to Astrophel, who was gutting a skinned hare on another counter beside her. He only glanced at her without a word, and she pursed her lips, took a clean rag, and lifted the lid of the deep pot where the soup was boiling. She added some spices and stirred the contents.She nervously glanced at Astrophel from the corner of her eye. All her efforts to get his attention or start up a meaningful conversation had been to no avail. He acted as if he wasn't even in the kitchen with her. All she got for every question she asked him was a grunt, or the shake of his head, and frustration was slowly beginning to eat into her at her futile attempts to get him to talk to her. Why was it so easy for Theresa to get everyone to like her? What was so special about Theresa that Astrophel seemed to tail her like a pup?She moved a little bit closer to him, and turned around to back the stove so that she could watch him work.He had opened the stomach of the ha

Chapter: 29. Mermaids' cry for helpTheresa scrambled away from her. She didn't understand what was going on at all. She got up back to her feet and noticed the beautiful tails floating behind the mermaids. "You needn't run," the mermaid who had spoken said before, said to her."Who are you?" Theresa asked, staring from one face to the other as they all swam closer to shore, and she could see their bodies clearer. They had brown, blonde, brunette, silver and red hair. The one who had spoken to her had brown long hair. "I am Aline, and these..." She gestured towards the other mermaids already flanking her."...are my sisters...We are from the mer-world!""Mermaids do not reside around these parts, not for the past three hundred years, at least that's what the lycans said... how am I sure that you didn't come through the veil?""Well, that's why we are here...about the veil..." Aline replied, a solemn look of fear on her face now.Theresa stared at Aline's beautiful eyes. "You led me here...it was you all singing...wasn

Chapter: 28. I'm not yours!"You are hungry," he told her still offloading the contents in the basket. She was about to deny his words when her stomach suddenly growled in support, and she saw a subtle smug smile lift the corner of his lips. He had sensed it even before her stomach growled out, betraying her. How did he know all things about her? He seemed to be able to read her like an open book, which was weird. "I'll cook," he said then carried the basket still containing some food ingredients into the kitchen, and she watched him, surprised.It was no stress watching him move around in the small kitchen because the dining table was overlooking the kitchen, and one could easily see into the kitchen without having to stand up or lean to the side.He scoffed when he noticed her surprised lifted brow. "Apparently, you don't believe that I can cook." He picked up a glinting sharp knife which she suspected that he used in gutting the animals he hunted or that were caught in his traps. "Yeaaa...." He drawled. "Wi

Chapter: 27. Sit!She lifted up her hand to knock on the door, but her slack fist halted midair in front of it. She sighed again and decided it was best if she didn't meet him in person, what mattered after all was that he received the basket and its contents. She gently placed the basket of food on the wooden porch then smoothed her palms against her skirt to wipe off the sweat her nervousness had gathered on them, prepared to call it a day.By the gods, this was no way to court a man. One had to meet him, spend time with him, and get to know him more, not sneaking food into his property, abandoning it on his porch and making a run for it as quickly as possible. She should be ashamed of herself. Elaine would be very disappointed in her if she were to find out what she had done. Wasn't it even her idea that she would prefer to court him to get to know him first instead before getting married to him right away? Yet here she was acting the coward!She turned around and went down the porch, and star

Chapter: 26. Let the courtship begins"You sent the letter, like I asked?" Darius asked Herrick. Herrick nodded. "I asked sir Lucas to keep the part about her mysterious powers, confidential." "Let's just hope he will," Darius said. "I wonder what that slut of a queen would do if she found out about the new events. We can't trust anyone too. Tell the guardians they are not to mention this to any other ear, not even their mates'!" Herrick nodded and got up to leave when Elaine appeared in the doorway. Herrick acknowledged her with a nod and walked past her, while Elaine walked towards her husband and occupied the seat Herrick had just vacated. "You look troubled; I can feel it," Darius said to her. "We need to talk," she replied flatly. "Is the girl okay?" Darius asked in concern. "This is not exactly about the girl," she said, "This is about our children." Darius leaned back into the backrest of his seat. "What is it?" "This is about Astrophel and Claire... Darius, haven't you noticed anything unusual?" D
