LOGINMy jaw was on the floor. So, I had jumped from the frying pan into the fire? This man was going to keep me shackled with all those girls in the basement. Some even looked young enough to be teenagers. What happens to women and children who are trafficked is too painful to even think about. The girls were about fifteen, and some of them seemed like they were young enough to be teenagers. “ Look, let me go back upstairs, and then I’ll find the keys and way to get you out of here. All you have to do is hang tight for a while. “ I said and put the tape back on her mouth without waiting for a response.She nodded her head, and I rushed back upstairs. I made sure to be quiet, even as I twisted the lock back in place with the knife. After that, I returned the knife to the kitchen and searched in the cupboards. He must have laced my drink with something to knock me out. The girls who were asleep must have also been knocked out by some drugs, so I knew it was there. I just hoped he didn’t k
“What is your name?” I asked to make conversation. “ Enzo,” he answered and continued strumming his guitar. “I heard a hint of a Southern accent. Aren’t you from Italy?” I asked.“No.”He didn’t even ask me my name. I assumed he did not want to make conversation, so I shut my mouth and lay back in my seat. I closed my eyes as I listened to his sad beat, as I had nothing better to do.After a while, the hum of his guitar stopped, and my eyes shot open. He looked surprised to see me awake, like he had expected me to fall asleep. The truth was that I almost slept, but then remembered I was in a foreign place and remained conscious.“Why don’t I take you to a room where you can freshen up and fall asleep? “ He asked, and I nodded my head. I was covered in mud and dried blood. I couldn’t get into bed in that state. I was tired and hurt, so my body was giving out. I had been through a lot during the day, and my body needed the rest. However, I didn’t think I could trust the man.I follow
The whole car ride with the strange man who had rescued me was silent. He didn't talk to me, let alone look at me. If I rescued someone, I would have questions. I guess he didn't have any.He could have even asked me for my name, where I came from, who had taken me, where I wanted to go, and if I needed to see a doctor. My whole body was in pain. My face was swollen from being punched by Alessandro, my foot was in pain from being stepped on and running on it, and my stomach was stinging from being punched and stepped on. I was so weak that I was seconds away from passing out. But I didn’t want to pass out in a stranger’s car. I needed to make sure I was safe first.I was right about him living around. We hadn't driven far when he took a turn onto a rocky road. Then, I saw a cabin when the headlights flashed in that direction.I wondered why he was taking me to the cabin instead of bringing me to safety or to a hospital. I didn't know if I felt comfortable going into a cabin with a ma
I looked in the direction of the voice and saw one of the men who had been at the cabin running towards me. If he caught me, he would assault me, and there was nothing I could do. He wanted to do it at the cabin.There was no reason he would stop when we were in the woods, where no one would save me.I ran faster, but he was gaining on me. My leg was still in pain from Alessandro’s pain, but no matter how much I pushed against it, I wasn’t fast enough. It only took a few moments before he had grabbed me and pinned me to the ground."I got you now, bitch! Vittoria is pissed. You didn’t manage to kill her. She wants us to do what we want to you once we catch you." He bellowed and started laughing like a madman. I kicked him in the shin, and when he got off me, I stood up quickly and stepped on his eye with my shoes.That would slow him down a little. I stepped on his other eye so hard that blood came out. I also hit him on the head with a nearby log, and he passed out to make sure he wo
"Hey! Please get me some water!" I said loudly to make sure that anyone was outside, and they heard me. I had been in that seat for hours. I waited for Vittoria and Alessandro to come back, but they didn’t. I thought no one heard me when I shouted, but the door opened, and two men walked in. They stared at me and then at one another. Vittoria and Alessandro must not have been around. It was the reason they looked confused.One of them begrudgingly left to get me some water. When the other was out of sight, the one left behind walked towards me with intent."You're a beautiful girl. I bet my boss won't mind if I have some fun with you. " He said with his fingers stroking his bottom lip as he neared me. I almost gagged.My heartbeat skyrocketed, and my insides filled with worry. How would I be able to pull myself from that situation? Before he could get close, however, the other one called out to him, and he cursed before going to where he had heard the sound.I needed a good enough e
It was Alessandro, my brother who was supposed to be in rehab. He was in cahoots with Vittoria to kidnap me and make my life miserable. The man I had given a second chance of life didn’t even care how much I had sacrificed so that he wouldn’t take the fall for anything.All he cared about was plotting against me with my enemies. He had obviously bribed someone at the rehab rehabilitation center to give me fake updates about him. Looking at him, I could tell he was high as a kite.“Don’t hit her too hard. You'll just disfigure her and then her husband will not want to take her back because she’s ugly. Look at her. She has nothing else to offer but her beauty and her youth. Emilio will discard her once he’s done using her.” Alessandro said.I couldn’t believe I had fallen for his pitiful act when he pretended that he cared about the things he had done when he was taking drugs. I bought his big brother act when he pretended that he was too ashamed to ask me for help.The truth of the mat
