“I stole it!” I bellowed my voice raspy and weak; I had to lie, there was no way I was going to let Luca get into trouble.

“You stole it?” Marcello repeated his tone laced with doubt.

“Yes, from a random maiden, she had no idea I stole it, so yeah, you can go ahead and punish me for wanting to be free!” I retorted.

A small smile played on his thin lips as he clicked his tongue. Then he muttered silently, “I don’t believe you.”

My heart sank, was he a demon or something? It was as if he had placed me under some lie detector machine.

“What?”

He narrowed his gaze over me, “I think you aren’t saying the whole truth and you know that can get you in trouble, right?”

“What would I gain by lying?” I said almost immediately; he gripped the bars, his face filled with zero empathy.

“That’s what I’m still trying to understand, who are you trying to protect?”

I swallowed hard, faking a smile, “You’re so delusional, why would I want to protect any of your spawns?”

    GabriellaI thought our lips would melt because he stopped, and for a moment I couldn't breathe, I just shut my eyes still expecting his lips. But they never came.“I should check on the man who escaped.”I nodded in embarrassment. I could hear my heartbeat racing; it wasn’t out of fear, just nervousness that he was close to me again. Like that night with Don Maria. How we took turns being on top of him. Or how he made me watch him thrust his hardened cock into her. Her moans filled my ears. I’d never done this before and for some weird reason, I wasn’t jealous. I enjoyed every bit of it. And finding out he wasn’t behind my father’s death, I went to do this again with him.“Take care of yourself, Gabriella.” He said and disappeared. I took a seat by the window, staring into the wind, wondering what to do next. I saw Luca pacing around the gate area and I instantly felt bad for him. He was in trouble because he was trying to help me. For the next three days, he remained in that p

  • Trapped in the Mafia’s hell   Chapter 48

    Gabriella“I never doubted my brother for a second,”Of course, I knew that quite well, and even if he was the murderer. I wouldn’t blame her if she still defended her. He was all she had.Adrianna reached out to be squeezing my shoulders softly, “Stefan has always been the mastermind behind the chaos, I know my brother might come off as…”“Scary?”“Angry,” she corrected her eyes darting away from mine. “But to me, he’s always that ten-year-old boy who saved me from the fire that took my parents.”I felt even sadder thinking he'd be responsible for his parents’ death, I was pissed I’d been attacking the wrong person. What if I’d successfully poisoned him? What would then happen next?Adrianna stood, “I know you would never understand because you hate him, but I hope you can forgive him.”Girl, I don’t need to forgive him. He is off my target list. My eyes are on Stefan now. In fact, I was now Marcello’s new assistant in tracking Stefan but I wouldn't tell anyone about this discovery.

    GabriellaAfter the deed had been done crawled onto her bed trembling under the duvet. Her eyes shut as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She was in pain but it was worth it.Another day came, and she acted normal, brushed her teeth, and slipped into a satin dress. I had breakfast with Marcello and Adrianna but something was different today.I dug into the lamb while Marcello’s eyes never left the newspaper he was holding. Adrianna was quiet, things have been weird, ever since I tried to attack her.I shouldn’t have done that, she was only trying to help me and now she’s drifting away. She probably thinks I needed the space. “I need to attend the seminar," Adriana highpitched voice resounded in the air.“I’m sorry, but you can’t,” Marcello said, not bothering to look up at her. “Why? I’m not your captive!” Oh! She was finally seeing the light! She now believes he was nothing but a sick person who likes keeping people trapped against their will.“You got kidnapped, Adrianna,

    GabriellaNever did I ever dream that this day would come.I stared at the two lines on the strips, and instantly, the dam broke, and tears rolled down freely.I didn't even care if I was loud or not, the emotions were too hard to contain. How could I get pregnant by a monster?I covered my mouth with my hand as I tried to stop the sobs, then I did the next sensible thing I could think of. Flush the pregnancy strip. Get rid of the evidence, No one would ever know this. It will remain my secret. hear of this. Not even Luca will hear of this. I turned on the tap, washed my red face with water, dabbed it with a towel, and cleared my throat, staring at myself in the mirror. I hadn’t noticed until now how different I looked.The weight gain, the glow, it’s like I gained extra pounds which was impossible in this mansion. I used that opportunity to take a shower, scrubbing my skin till it was pink and clean. For some reason, I enjoyed staying under the warm shower. It calmed my brain.

    GabriellaI was still pointing the knife at Adrianna when Luca stepped in, his eyes widened with shock.“Gabriella, what are you doing?” He asked.“I just…” I blinked back tears, “I just want to be free.”“You will be free soon.” Luca slowly walked up to me, took the knife from me, and carried me up to my room. I was sure Adrianna was shocked by this sudden, strange behavior of mine. But even I didn’t understand myself.Luca placed me on the bed, and I sat my legs against my chest. “What are you doing?” He asked, not in an angry tone, but in a thoughtful tone, as if he was concerned about my well-being.“I don’t know, I think I’m going crazy, maybe the house is finally getting to me.” I sniffed.He let out a sigh and brought out the white strip from his pocket, “Here, you said you needed this.”I snatched it from him, “Thanks. Really. You’ve been so helpful.”He nodded, “You’re welcome, Gabriella. I know it’s not easy but you need to hold on. I’d come up with something.”I nodded my

  • Trapped in the Mafia’s hell   Chapter 44

    GabriellaSince the few months I stayed with Marcello, I'd never fallen ill.Not even when he locked me in a disgusting basement that stinked with pee and mold.I survived being there for days, I was starved, weak, and exhausted. Yet I wasn’t throwing up around the whole place like some pregnant ….I paused, clutched my belly, could I be pregnant?I sat up with urgency, I was still lying on the king-sized bed in Marcello’s room. These past few days he never let me out of his sight, not even for a minute.He’d check up on me from time to time, making sure I wasn’t sick again. I rose slowly from the bed and dragged my feet to the door, I twisted the doorknob wishing to be free but it was locked. Somehow the sickness made me even more frustrated with staying here. No matter how much I wandered around the mansion, I’d always remain his helpless prisoner wife.I banged my fist against the door, “Help me,” I yelled as if the house were bursting into flames. The door clicked open and
