Chapter 1Michael,I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and almost coughed. The air was stale and full of dirt, but it was something to expect.This house wasn’t cleaned for over six years, and maybe more than that. I just bought it six years ago, and it was the best decision to make.I breathed in again and shuddered as I listened to the blaring music and lyrics of the song playing at the moment.Goëtia, by Peter Gundry, the entire album, is a masterpiece. I always loved to listen to it, among other things, while I was in the middle of a hard or impossible surgery.It makes me feel at peace; it calms the turmoils that fighting inside of me. Inside my heart, soul, and mind.It makes the voices calmer or thrown away in the background as if they were some noise somewhere far away from me.It made me focus on what I was doing and at the moment; I needed that. I need a clear head to deal with this…..thing.I stretched my head right and left, then started to take off my clothes. I started
Chapter 2Lola,It is like clockwork. A never ending torture.I became afraid of closing my eyes and having some sleep because he always visits me in my dreams and makes me relive that moment I killed him over and over again.Sometimes it is me who is scared and running away from him as he limps toward me while dragging his leg behind him.And no matter how hard I try, I can’t escape him. He catches me and I fall to the ground, panting and sweating.He then crawls on top of me and starts choking me, and I just freeze beneath him as his hands tighten around my neck, making me gasp for air.He usually watches me down with hatred in his eyes as blood and tears run down his face and sometimes I feel like touching his face, comforting him.Because this was my doing, I have killed this man and I have to live with the burden of it all. I must suffer for taking that soul, no matter what it did or how dark it was.Other times my dream starts with me killing him and then running away from his h
Chapter 3Lola,“You are way out of the fucking line, Bob.”My sweet angry lawyer said, making me stop my weird laugh and smile at her. I didn’t interact with her that much. Only the questions she asked me which were basically less than ten because the rest, she was informed by the family.But I trust her. She was a friend of Jason's and he was a good friend of Ariel, so I was sure she was doing the best for me.“You stupid. You cuffed her before making her change her clothes?”The man called Bob snarled at the officer who cuffed me, making the man stop and stare at me in confusion, but then he pushed me forward harshly this time.“She will change her clothes after she is processed in prison, so it doesn’t matter.”The man said, sneering, and I swallowed harshly. I opened my mouth to ask them which prison I was sent to, but Isabella talked again, growling like an angry lioness.“The judge had lost her fucking mind. We had an understanding, and she thought it was better if Lola was se
Chapter 4Lola,I flinched when something rang loudly in the distance.I blinked when a bright light filled the place and when my eyes adjusted a little; I was able to see that my cell’s door was open and there were some women watching me with interest.I looked down at myself and found out that I was still sitting on the floor hugging myself, sniffling like a child.I must be a view for all these women who were watching me, waiting for the right moment to jump me or worse.So I took a deep breath and stood up on shaky legs that were threatening to give up, but I managed to save the last ounce of dignity I still got or might have.The women kept watching me as I stood up, then snatched the small toiletries bag that the CO gave me yesterday without moving.I walked to the open door and glared at them, and it was as if they didn’t even see me. I felt like I was an animal in a zoo and everyone was watching me.“Fucking move. I want to take my fucking shower and you are blocking my way.”
Chapter 5Michael, “So I told him to stop because I needed to wake up early, but that man is relentless. And kept me awake all night, ugh.”“Don’t lie. I can see it all over your face. You really enjoyed every second of it. Fuck work, enjoy the sweetness of the beginnings, girl. When that sweet period passes, your life will be just the same old boring one, but with a nagging dick in it. I’m just saying.”“I don’t care. I’m not looking for something stable at the moment. I want to enjoy my life and that is it. And when what you are saying happens, I will just search for a new man. I don’t need any stress in my life, girl.”The two nurses kept talking in hushed voices as they got everything ready for our next operation. They thought they were whispering, but their voices rang loudly inside my head but I didn’t have the power to tell them off and Doctor Michael never hurt anyone’s feelings ever especially here.“What is happening in here? Is this your time off or something? We have been
Chapter 6Lola,“Hello, Helloooo. Who the fuck is this? I don’t have time for games, fucker.”I heard my brother’s angry voice, and I choked on a silent sob. It has been over a week since I heard his voice or even saw him.Since coming to this hellhole and I wasn’t allowed to see him, even my lawyer had trouble doing so.CO Diaz told me that it doesn’t matter how hard she pushed, someone kept pushing back and it wasn’t my judge as well.Someone wanted me here, to get rid of me or just bury what happened. The entire ordeal felt like a cover up to something bigger than me, than any of us.I opened my mouth to say something, but my throat was clogged and nothing came out but a pathetic whimper.The other end of the line went silent, then I heard my brother choke on his own breath as well, but he managed to call my name and I started to wail.“Lola?! Baby, are you OK? How are you doing? Are you safe? Are you protected? How did you call me my sweet daughter? It has been hard for us to reac
Chapter 7Michael,“No one knows anything about that woman she mentioned. Everywhere I ask, it is a dead end.”“No one in the big mafia families knows about her and actually most of them don’t allow their women to take part in the business.”“But the other part checks, she has a bounty on her head. Two actually.”I entered the kitchen almost at noon, feeling tired and drained. You would think that I would have some good, long, deep sleep after my eventful week, but I kept awake all night long.Only sleeping after the sun rose and even that was plagued with nightmares. Nightmares of Lola turning her back on me and just leaving me alone.“Is this Isis girl thing that important right now? I mean, shouldn’t we fix that bounty thing first? It is the most urgent matter here. That girl could have hurt her in many situations and, from what Lola said, she actually helped her once or twice.”Ariel said after she hugged her steaming coffee in her hands and looked at Leo, Sergey, and my brother a
Chapter 8Lola,I hugged my little toiletries bag so close to my chest as I followed CO Smith to what felt like my doom.I haven’t liked this woman since the moment I saw her and now it feels right. She was up to something. Whether it was getting me killed or having some sadistic fun at my expense.And every nerve inside of my body was shaking in fear, but on the outside, I looked so calm and collected I even have that arrogant look that my brother has sometimes.I saw CO Diaz giving me these worried and almost horrified looks, but I kept my eyes straight and my head high.This is the moment I need to put all that I have learned through the years to the test and fight for myself or my life if I had to.We entered the shower room, and I stopped to look around me and examine my surroundings. The place wasn’t crowded, and it seemed that every woman in there was keeping to herself, but still, I was nervous.“Here we are, sweetheart you can choose whatever stall you like and have your much
