I woke up like I was being pinched out of my sleep, my eyes groggily looking over the room and that was when it hit me. I wasn't dreaming, it was real and I'm fucking here. I was still here.
I quickly bolted out of the bed, my hands running through my curly hair. How long had I been sleeping? oh fuck me.
The door opened and one of the girls entered, she looked at me trying to despair what I was doing in the room.
"You're awake? Wallace didn't want to wake you up." She said and I didn't talk to her.
She shook her head and mumbled, "Forgotten how bitchy you are,"
Then she began leaving.
"Is there any other door apart from the guard gate outside?." I asked.
She turned, confused at my question.
"No."
I bit my lower lip and began walking out before her.
Which way do I go from here?. The mansion is damn big and it'd be hard finding an escape route.
I ran down the hall, my legs moving surprisedly fast as my eyes darted around for an escape route. Oh yes, I found the front door, and I'd be running down these stairs to it. My head hadn't clicked on how to run past the front gate with so many men guarding it, oh when we get to the bridge, we'll know how to cross it.
I sprinted down the stairs and looked up at the door to my freedom, and some men were following me up immediately. And they scattered over the hallway. How the fuck did they know?.
That was when my eyes met the surveillance locked around the hall. Oh fuck, I didn't fucking see this earlier.
I turned around quickly and I slammed into a wall, not a wall but a fucking body. I've been caught. My legs grew weak when I looked up, it was the fucking mafia lord's body. I swallowed up.
Confirm fear.
"Who's she?." A man asked. I turned, a man was looking from my slim long legs to my face. His eyes glinted when he met my eyes. He was old, he looked deadly and dangerous. The way he looked at me, I could tell he was a pervert. He even looks older than my father.
"I'd like her to warm my bed." He told the boss. My heart skipped, I'm not a fucking prostitute.
The boss looked down at me, angry that I was fucking going to run away, he commanded his men who'd been standing beside me.
"Take her to my room and tie her up,"
Wait, what?. He's fucking gonna tie me up.
"Hey, you can't tie me up now, I want to get the hell out of here," I shouted as strong hands carried me up and started walking over the stairs as I struggled to flee. He stood there watching me until I was out of sight.

The guard dropped me on his master's bed and I tried to scamper out of the bed, the other men grabbed me down to the bed and held me against the headboard.
"Hold her tight, she's fucking strong." The one who carried me ordered them, he took the chain from the bed. He came toward me and handcuffed each of my hands to the bed.
"I'm fucking gonna kill you when I'm out of here," I screamed. They laughed it off like it was a mere threat and walked out of the room. Oh, fuck!. How the hell do I get away from here without being killed?.
Seconds passed, the monster was not seen, minutes passed, I was fucking tired of waiting and hours came, I almost collapsed. I was tired, my arm was hurting like hell and my eyes were closing up. I was hungry.
The door opened, my eyes went wide, I looked up and I saw him strolling in. He reached his table and began taking off his jacket. My eyes met a dark inked tattooed drawing from his left side of his neck down. His white inner shirt covered it up. He took off his gun which he tucked in by the side of his black trouser and dropped it on the table. He turned and began walking toward me.
"What the hell were you thinking?. Do you think you can run away from me?." He asked. His voice hoarse like he'd been yelling for a long time. His shoes made a noise with each step he took.
"Release me and see how I make out of it," I replied to him, in a very hush voice.
He smiled but his smile didn't reach his eyes.
"You don't know where you are, little cagna. You tried to run, you shall face the consequences. You'll warm his bed." (Bitch).
"What?. I'm not a prostitute,"
"But you're not a virgin, are you?." He teased.
I bent my head and responded, "I am," He raised his eyebrows, not believing me. Not anyone believed me because I didn't behave like one.
"Are you lying, trioa?. Not after all I've heard about you." (Slut)
Need I say, he speaks Italian, his accent made it looked like he was born there. I tried to hide the fact that he called me a slut just now, or he'd know I hear Italian.
He asked about me, why would he go around asking about me?. Well, I've made out with a lot of guys in the bars, but I've never gone to bed with them, even if I'd go to a few rooms, I would drug them and make away with their money. This was how I survived, I didn't fuck them, so I'm not a prostitute.
"I am not a whore." I stated flatly. I didn't need to explain my life to anyone.
There was silence. I hope he changes his mind.
"That's none of my business. You're mine, you'll do what I command. Tonight, get ready to lose it."
I underestimated the devil, he was cold-hearted.
"Why?. Why are you doing this to me?. I'm not owing you but my father is. Why the fuck are you doing this?."
He went out of my face and turned his back on me.
"You'll not ask me questions on what I want with you. I own you, so you'll do as I please." He finished, picked his gun and left.
That motherfucker dick handsome face does not own me. No one owns me and the earlier he starts realizing that, the better for us. He must let me go or I will frustrate him. I'll frustrate his life and make him miserable till he lets me go.
I shut my eyes and thought inwardly. He wants me to sleep with that man like a whore.
I squinted my eyes as I searched for Zavi as the smoke slowly faded. I saw him hanging shirtless with hands bonded to the chain which held the ceiling. Will had gone to search for Janie with my father, while it was only I and Andrea who had come to save Zavi. We had the upper hand because we had his men down, Matteo excluded. The dick has gone to hide. "Well, well, well. I underestimated you, Nora." I heard him say from one of those boxes. "Come out, coward!." I spat.There was silence, but immediately I heard his gun click, we both took cover as he fired more bullets at us without looking, soon his gun was empty, he cussed and threw it away. "Come out now!." I sang as my hand went to the trigger. "Let me take care of him," Andrea smirked and went towards Matteo, suddenly he kicked Andrea as she flew back falling on her face. She hissed loudly and stood up, Matteo walked out with a knife. "Now, let's fight." He stated and stood in a fighting stance as Andrea attacked. I ran ac
Zavi's povI was chained like an animal, beside me stood a table where all the machinery used for torturing were kept.They've already used it on me, especially the electric weapon. I was tired, my breathing was slow, and the only thing that mattered was Nora and my babies. So, those things don't matter, I had done worse. I had known when Alec died, that it was turn by turn, if my life ends now, I'm fulfilled that I have Nora and of course I have my triplets. The iron door creaked open, making me look up at the door. Matteo smiled, walking in with his hand behind his back. I scoffed, he must be feeling proud, proud that he had the Italian boss chained like an animal."How do you feel, Mr. Mafia?." I shook my head, "Matteo," I called softly, my voice very low. "Don't look at me like that, you've done worse." He spat."I know, but maybe this is the only thing you've ever achieved in your life." I mocked him. His smile disappears from his face. I wheezed coughing up a spray of bl
I looked skeptically at my dad for a few more minutes. What if he wanted to spy on us? I didn't trust my family anymore. Everything I've gone through all my life was because they didn't tell me the truth, they didn't tell me I was involved in the mafia from the beginning, they hadn't let me know who I was and who I shouldn't be involved with. He sold me to the mafia, something he'd never do to his daughter. I came to know he'd blamed me for the death of my mother all his life, he treated me very badly after she died. My dad blamed me for coming through a man who raped my mother under his very own nose. I thought Zavi's background was the most complicated, I didn't know mine was worse than his. At least he saw his family to blame, and I had no one to blame. I was an orphan brought up by a step-dad."What if I can't trust you?." I asked him, Irene and Will by my side, very alert."I don't wanna get involved considering that the son of Lucien pulled a bullet on my wife's stomach, but I
Suddenly, he was beside me, his icy barrel of the gun was pressed hard to my temple, and his hand covered my neck. Zavi runs in and stops seeing as Matteo held me down at gunpoint. "Let her live. Matt." Zavi seethed, his arms twitching by his sides as he contemplated what to do. Zavi's hand slowly went to his gun.Matteo's hand tightened around my neck causing me to cough."If I were you, I wouldn't want that." "Matteo, you're a coward." I spat."Shut up," He growled, "I was waiting for the best time to strike." I scoffed."Is this what you wanted?." I asked.Matteo gave a sinister laugh, "You know what I want all my life.""Shut up, I'm not talking to you, dickhead. Janie, is this what you wanted? You gave me to the bastard who killed our mother, why can't I trust all of my step-siblings?." "No. I'm not like him, Nora." Her voice came, "You are used as leverage. That's all."I blinked."Matteo, what the fuck do you want?." Zavi spoke slowly."Nice question." He answered as he sp
"Dear Diary, I found an angel. Someone who'd put me out of hell." I read out aloud and smiled, it's so surprising Zavi kept Journals. I had gone through his old stuff and found this book under his wardrobe. I opened it to see that it had been ages since he visited that. On the last page\thing he wrote, he stated; 'I wish I'd never been born,'. It was some miserable statement he wrote because of his father. His most embarrassing moment was the first day he saw Anita, he tripped and fell into the water fountain. I snorted a laugh and looked up at him from the bed as he walked out of the bath."Hey..uhm hubby. Do you wear anything apart from suits?." He turned around, "I've always worn a suit all my life, why do you ask?." I bit the bottom of my lip, "Because my mom's anniversary is today, and I don't want you to dress like a cold-blooded killer,"He hit his forehead, "Oh my god! You're going to visit the hospital today, my love. The doctor's appointment is today."I robbed my tum
I'm pregnant.There are things that you know it's true but you still can't believe it is. I'm fucking pregnant with a child. It's unbelievable that there's a fetus growing in me. I sobbed as I sat up. Zavi looked at me worriedly, "Are you not happy?." He asked softly, rubbing my tummy slowly."It's tears of joy. Never would I think I would have a baby." He pulled me into his body, stroking my hair gently. "I'm happy that you want it. We both are gonna be the best parents." He cooed, placing his jaw on top of my head. "Who would think little Nora would bring a child to this world? My chances of survival had been very slim.""Don't say that baby." He stated strongly."I know you feel like I'm safe because your father is dead, my brother is still out there looking for a way to finish me off. Do you think this child needs to come now?." I felt him tense, I slowly went out of his arm to look at his face, "We can't bring this baby now, the world we live in is very dangerous, for both
