MasukMIA“So he did all that to you? Wow!” Emilio chuckled after I had described my time in Raymond Baxters den of torture to him.My chest felt a pang of pain. I thought telling him about the horrors I already faced would elicit some kind of sympathy from him. Instead, he seemed more excited to continue from where Raymond Baxter stopped.I was exhausted. I had fought, and given it my all.Maybe I wasn't meant to survive. Maybe this was supposed to be the end for me.Because even if by some stroke of luck I did survive after Emilio took advantage of me, how could I live again?How could I live knowing down the line, another man could just forcefully take what I didn't willingly give to him?If it happened before, and happens again, then it was only a matter of time before the pattern was repeated.I would become the go-to food for depraved men.My eyes clamped shut, as hot, silent tears spilled out of them.“No need to cry, Mia.” I felt his fingers on my face, and turned my face sharply aw
“Paasion killed herself,” Pedro repeated, and followed it up with a chuckle.He just couldn't stop laughing. It was a statement he couldn't wrap his head around.“Where is she, Pedro? Where is Mia?” Luca asked, completely exhausted with the emotional state of things.“Where is Passion, Luca? Where is she?” He answered back.Silence descended again.In the midst of the silence, a vibrating sound interrupted.Niko turned behind, and saw the sound coming from a phone.He crawled over, grabbed the phone, and answered the call.“Hello?”“Boss Niko? Where is this boss? I traced the other phone call. I have a location,” Kent said.“Send it over.”Niko jumped to his feet immediately, and turned to Luca.“Boss, let's go,” he said.“No,” Luca shook his head. “I'm not leaving until I know where Mia is.”“That is not going to happen, Luca. I don't believe your story. I just don't.”“Boss, this is important,” Niko tried again.“I said no, Niko,” he insisted stubbornly. “It's Mia we're talking abou
MIAMy eyes flickered open, and I immediately felt restrained.When I looked down, I saw why I was.It didn't take long for my memories to come rushing in, along with the realisation I was bound to the chair I had been placed on.“You're finally awake.”My head shot up, and I saw Emilio standing with his back resting on the kitchen counter, his hand folded, and his legs crossed.So we were in the kitchen. When he pushed me, and I passed out, he had obviously dragged me to the kitchen and tied me up.But did he–My heart did a double take, as worry gripped me in a chokehold.He burst out laughing in a sinister way that had me feeling like I was drowning.“Oh Mia! Dear Mia,” he stopped laughing, and I saw the moment his face went dark with disgust. “What kind of monster do you think I am for you to wonder if I touched you when you were unconscious?”My stomach tightened so hard, I could barely breath.He had read me like an open book. I didn't know when I became so obvious.The fear of
“Carlo? No!” Pedro dropped to the ground next to Carlo's deceased body.His shaky fingers touched him, and when it felt stillness, he gathered him into his body, and began to scream in excruciating agony.A little to his side was a different kind of chaos occurring.“Luca,” Niko held him before he could drop to the ground. “It's me, Niko. It's me. I'm here.” His lips quivered in panic.Luca managed to move his gaze a little towards him.He whispered something that Niko didn't quite catch, which made him lean in.“Bulletproof.”Niko's ears twitched, as his gaze snapped. He wondered if he had just heard correctly, or it was his ears wanting to hear something that would give hope.Because the mere thought that his best friend of almost twenty years was dying? It just was indigestible.His fingers, shaky, trembling, and stumbling all over each other, fondled with his buttons in an attempt to peel them off.Behind them, Dimitri was still in a fit of dark rage.He ran after Rhys who had ran
Ava appeared in front of Luca in a heartbeat, and her hands reached out to straighten his slouching shoulders.“Luca?!” She screamed out his name in panic, when he swayed again, as if he was going to fall from the seat.Her screams pierced through the horrific feeling that shot through him the moment Pedro said what he said, and he looked up.“Peach. Get Peach,” he whispered.“No, I can't leave you. I won't leave you. I'm afraid something bad will happen to you.”He grabbed her wrist so tight, blood temporarily stopped flowing in that spot.“I'm fine. Just get Peach. Now!”Heavy tears dropped down Ava's eyes, as she shook her head stubbornly. “I don't want to leave you. I don't–”The phone started to ring again, and Luca made use of all of the strength left inside of him to let go of Ava's wrist, and grab it.“Boss, I'm on my way to your office. I think Mia just called me.”The paralyzing feeling disappeared from Luca's body, and he sat up.“She called,” he said to Ava. “She fucking c
MIAI was able to keep down breakfast, and for that, I was truly grateful to Camilla.After I was done eating, I tried to see if I could take away the tray myself.It was secretly a way for me to test the possibility of an escape.But as I turned the door knob, the door did not budge.With a sigh of defeat, I turned around with the tray clutched to my hand, and returned back to the bed. I plopped on the bed, and let out a sigh. The feeling of loneliness was slowly creeping up on me again.“Help me,” I whispered to no one in particular.Help wasn't sure to come, but a girl could try, right?My body grew weary from the burden in my heart, and I laid down to rest a little.The little rest I aimed for, turned into a quick nap.It was a while later my body jolted up on feeling some dark energy hovering around.My eyes flew open, and I sat up, just to find a pair of eyes staring at me.“Oh God!” I clutched pearls, my breath sharpening.“No, it's just me. It's me, Emilio,” he said, and thre
MIA Mr peacock was in my room an hour after dinner to bring me to the Angels sanctuary. “You look distressed. What is the problem?” “I want a lollipop,” I said to him as we walked. He laughed as if I was trying to be funny. But he stopped when I didn't laugh with him. “Oh you're being serious?
Mia opened the door only to find Ms Bird cager right in front of her.She eyed her from her hand down to her toes.“What are you doing here?” She asked roughly and with disgust.Mia, defeated, opened the door widely and stepped aside.Ms Bird cager walked in but froze in her spot when she saw the b
LUCADarien luxe sort me out very early in the morning, as I predicted he would.It seemed his night with Bree went well because he didn't have on the scowl he usually wore.“Did you give any thought to my offer from last night?” He asked as we walked around the outer parts of the castle.“I though
MIAI walked through the halls of the castle endlessly.Where I was supposed to go and where I came from seemed to have blended into one, incomprehensible path that made me believe I was going around in circles.The state of my mental health was in shambles.My brain cried for help.
