MIA

For the first time in days, I didn’t get to sleep much during the night. Since the incident, I had been sleeping more than I had stayed awake, but last night, I had slept for only a few hours.

The rest of the night had had me staring into the dim roof and just thinking about nothing in particular.

Athena had been sleeping on the bed close to me; one that had been kept for her in the room so that she would always keep watch over me. I had yearned to talk to her, because talking to her, as I only realized, made me feel at peace, but at the same time, I didn’t want to disturb her. She was working so hard by staying awake all day just to look after me; I knew this because every time I opened my eyes, Athena was always there. That could be very taxing, and she deserved to get some rest.

I would have opted for her book, but it had been beside her on her bed, making it impossible for me to get it.

So, I had been by myself all night.

The dream I had about Keith yesterday haunted me for

    MIA“She said that to you?” Keith asked me, already growing upset.“No, she didn’t,” I shook my head quickly.This wasn’t going to end well for Athena, and with how upset Keith was already, I could tell that he was going to ensure that Athena felt his wrath.“Tell me the truth, Mia,” he insisted.“I am being truthful,” I also insisted. “I have no idea why that came out of my mouth, but Athena never said that to me,” I added, trying hard enough to convince Keith, but it didn’t seem like it was working.“Then why are you dressed like this?” He asked me.“Um, it’s because I wanted to cover the scars,” I managed to answer even though I almost stuttered at the beginning.“Is that so?” He asked me.“Yes,” I responded.“Are you sure?” He asked more deeply.“I am very certain,” I responded with confidence.After that, Keith stayed quiet and continued driving without saying a word. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell if he believed me or not, or if he was still upset with Athena. I really didn’t wa

  • The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother   Broken Girl-Secret

    MIAWhen I told Athena that I needed to get dressed to go with Keith for his checkup, she had insisted that I covered up completely.“You seem very excited about it,” Athena had said when I told her.“Well, that is the opposite of the impression I gave to Keith, but yes, I am!” I said, jumping for joy.The truth was that, the moment Keith mentioned it, I felt a little remorse because if I hadn’t stubbornly escaped, he wouldn’t have had to create a war and then get shot in the process. But after the remorse faded, I became excited, only that I didn’t show that in Keith’s presence. I was excited simply because I would get to step out of this mansion, and I wouldn’t do it hiding at the back of a truck. I would be able to look around and feed my eyes, and to get a change of scenery. It just felt really good! Keith already mentioned that his property was more than this mansion, and I couldn’t wait to see everywhere else.“I will eventually get to go out. I mean, it’s not as grand and adve

    KEITHMia’s question took me off guard.“Why would you ask me that?” I asked her worriedly.“All the rules to keep me caged in here,” she responded, tears gathering in her eyes. “I am not keeping you caged, Mia,” I told her, broken to see her tears.“Then what is this about?” She asked painfully.The sound of her voice made my chest hurt badly. I had come to care so much about her that her pain had become mine. I wouldn’t have said anything to her. Before now, I would have let her believe whatever it was that she wanted to believe. As long as I was keeping her safe, I didn’t give a damn how she felt about it, but it wasn’t like that anymore. The last thing I wanted was to see her crying.“I am just trying to protect you,” I told her.“From what? Protect me from who?” She asked deeply. Then before I could give her a response, she added, saying, “You already bought me, so what else?”Her words pierced my heart. Mia had gotten this all wrong. She had no idea what lay ahead of her out th

  • The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother   Bound By Rules

    MIAEver since I realized that I was strong enough to stand and walk, I had been waking up with so much joy and energy.“I can’t wait to use the library today!” I said with bubbling excitement.Now, I wouldn’t be so bored because there would be something to do. I was so excited that I could barely remember Athena’s outburst. However, I noticed now that she didn’t share in my excitement.“What’s wrong, Athena?” I asked her worriedly.Athena looked at me, and I could see sadness in her eyes. “I shouldn’t have acted the way I did yesterday, and I am sorry,” she apologized deeply, melting my heart.“I am not angry, Athena,” I told her.“Are you sure?” She asked wistfully.“We are friends, Athena, why would I be angry?” I asked her.Her eyes caught the time and she gasped.“What is it?” I asked again.“You are to have breakfast with Mr. Keith in his dining room,” she told me.I looked at her with shock.“That sounds like an instruction,” I said.“When Mr. Keith called me to his study yes

  • The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother   A Better Idea

    KEITH “I don’t want Terrace to be the one to call first,” I told Cain. “He might just be suspecting something if he happens to call first and I deliver the news,” I added.A part of me still felt skeptical about the whole thing. Cain had initially come up with a story.“All you have to do is tell Terrace that we delayed in getting back, so as you promised, you had to send one of your bodyguards to find them. Unfortunately, he found out that we had both been killed. As a matter of fact, he was only able to escape by sheer luck, and as a result of that, he couldn’t get their bodies,” Cain had stated.“You want me to lie to Terrace that you are dead?” I had asked Cain, surprised at his story.I had to ask him deeply and carefully because I felt that he hadn’t thought about the story thoroughly.“Yes, boss,” Cain had answered, confirming that he knew exactly what he was saying. “Why would I do that? Do you have any idea what that implies?” I had questioned Cain deeply.“Yes, I do, boss,

  • The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother   Just A Few Questions

    JACKIE “Why would I want to do that?” She asked me, her voice too loud for comfort.“Can you not raise your voice?” I pleaded with her but she sized me up with her eyes.If it wasn’t for what I needed, she would have had her hair pulled right away, and she definitely would be at her doctor’s for a couple of days. Men didn’t even dare speak to me like this, or stare at me with disdain, much less women. Even Madeline Dmitrii couldn’t stand my power. “Ma’am, you are wasting my time and I don’t even have it to give in the first place,” she retorted.Then she made to walk past me into the tavern, but I was faster. I grabbed her with one hand, and before she could scream, I covered her mouth with my other hand. Then I dragged her effortlessly to my car, shoved her in and pinned the door. Before she could unpin the car lock to get out, I was already inside the car, and I pulled out my gun.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I told her just when her finger was about to reach for the car l
