Valeria

The moment my mother slapped me, the room went silent. My cheek burned, but I did not say anything. Before I could talk, my mother suddenly began crying. Her tears came out fast and messy. She stumbled toward the couch where my father lay and dropped to her knees beside him.

“Where have you been?” she cried. “Look at you. How did this happen? How bad is it? Where is Lorenzo? Where is he?”

My father opened his eyes a little. He looked weak. He tried to speak, but his voice cracked.

“Calm down,” he said softly. “Calm down, woman. I am fine.”

“You are not fine!” she shouted at him. “I woke up and he was gone! Lorenzo was gone! I looked everywhere. Then I waited. Then I called Valeria because I knew something was wrong, but she ignored me! I called and I cried on the phone. I told her we needed help but she didn’t listen. Now look at you. Look at this house!”

I clenched my jaw. “Don’t start with me.”

My mother turned toward me with sharp eyes. “Start what, Valeria? Start telling t

    Valeria “Leave this house if you think you can stand there and insult my husband,” my mother shouted, her voice sharp and shaking.I laughed, but there was no joy in it. “Your husband?” I asked. “You mean the man who lies, drinks himself to sleep, and hides behind his own children?”Her eyes burned. “Watch your mouth, Valeria.”“I’m done watching anything,” I snapped. “You both ruined everything, and you still want respect.”She lifted her hand to slap me, and I didn’t move. I didn’t flinch. I just stared at her. Her hand froze in the air, shaking, and then dropped slowly. Her face twisted with anger and pain.“I curse the day your miserable mother left your father and dumped you on my head,” she shouted. “I carried you like my own and this is how you repay me.”My heart stopped as my breath caught in my throat.So this was it.The cold looks. The small kindness mixed with hidden anger. The way she loved Lorenzo more, the way she looked at me like I was a burden.This woman was not m

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

    Valeria“You need to understand something first,” Marco said as he wiped his hands on a cloth. “Your brother hardly comes here.”I stared at him. “What?”He nodded. “Lorenzo is not the one who spends time here. It’s your father.”My chest tightened. “That’s not possible. He told me he was sick.”Marco let out a dry laugh. “Sick from drinking, maybe.”I felt my face heat up. “How often does he come here?”“Too often,” Marco said. “He comes late. He drinks until he can barely stand. He talks loud. He complains. He blames everyone.”I clenched my hands. “And Lorenzo?”Marco leaned closer. “Your brother usually comes to pick him up. Almost every time.”My throat felt tight. “Pick him up?”“Yes,” Marco said. “Lorenzo drags him out. Puts him in a cab. Pays the bill. They argue while doing it.”“About what?” I asked.“Money,” Marco said. “Debts. Promises. Lies.”I shook my head slowly. “No. My father said Lorenzo caused everything.”Marco looked at me carefully. “I can only tell you what I s

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   THE ANSWER I REFUSED TO GIVE

    Valeria“Answer me, Valeria.”My mother’s voice cut through the room again. She repeated the question slowly, clearly enjoying the weight of it.“Do you regret it?” she asked. “Do you regret where our decision landed you?”I stared at her, my hands shaking at my sides. Before I could speak, Dante stepped forward.“That’s enough,” he said.His voice was calm, but sharp. The room shifted the moment he spoke.My mother turned to him and smiled, the kind of smile that never meant anything good. “Oh, I wasn’t talking to you,” she said. “But thank you for stepping in. You see? This is exactly what I mean.”She faced him fully now. “My daughter has always been like this. Ungrateful. No matter what you do for her, she forgets.”I felt my chest tighten. “That’s not—”“She forgets who fed her,” my mother continued. “Who raised her. Who made sacrifices.”Dante raised his hand slightly. “This is not the time for this.”“Oh?” my mother said. “Then maybe you should ask her yourself. Ask her if she

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The man on the road

    Valeria“What the hell?” Dante shouted.The car stopped hard, and my body pushed forward as I grabbed the seat fast so I would not fall. Before could ask anything, Dante opened his door and rushed out.“Stay here, Val!” he yelled.But I did not stay. I opened my door fast and came out too. The driver had already jumped out and ran ahead of Dante.My heart beat fast. I had no idea what was happening, but the look on Dante’s face scared me.“What is it?” I called as I ran toward them.No one answered.When I got closer, I saw a man lying on the ground right in front of the car. His clothes were dirty. His body moved only a little. He was breathing, but it was weak.“Oh my God,” I whispered, running faster. “Is he alive? What happened?”The driver kneeled beside him. Dante bent down too and touched the man’s arm.“Sir, can you hear me?” Dante asked loudly. “Talk to me!”The man tried to speak. His mouth opened, but only a rough sound came out.I stared at him, confused and scared. Someth

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The Breakfast That Wasn’t

    Valeria “Is this necklace not too much?” I asked the maid as I stared at myself in the big mirror.She walked in with a small bow and set a large velvet tray on the bed. “No, my lady. You look beautiful. These pieces match your skin so well.”I looked at my reflection again. My long hair fell down my back. The dress Dante chose for me was simple but rich. I held my breath as she opened the tray.“The boss ordered all these for you,” she said with a smile. “Everything is brand new.”I touched the edge of the tray. “He is something else.”“Yes, my lady,” she said. “And he asked us to make sure you look perfect today.”I blinked. “He did?”“Yes. He said today is important.”I tried not to smile too hard, but I felt warm inside. When I woke up this morning and heard a knock on my door, Dante stood there with his hair still wet from a shower. He had said, “Get ready. I need you to come with me… as my plus one.”At first, I thought he was joking.When I complained that I had nothing nice t
