บททั้งหมดของ A Mafia's Obsession: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

CRYSTAL I closed my eyes nervously, exhaling and inhaling. Even though I knew I had been doing this for some weeks, my legs still felt too heavy to walk me. I had danced several times, I practice ballet and I was absolutely incredible at it but tonight I was going to be dancing as a stripper infront of men old enough to be my father. I felt knots tie in my stomach and I wanted to puke. I wished I could be anywhere but here but I just couldn't make my wish a reality. It took every self restraint in me not to cry out in frustration and anger. Ever since our parents died months ago, it has just been only I and Mabel, my younger sister, fending for each other. Life was extremely tough especially when we had to settle a debt of seven hundred thousand that was loaned by my gambling father from a crime boss.When he was alive, he never brought us peace and now he was dead and we still don't have peace as we are left to cover up his disgusting tracks.I just wondered why mum had to j

CRYSTAL Sis ever since you came back from the club last night you've been silent. Anything the matter?"Mabel asked, probing into the abyss of thoughts that I had fallen into. I quickly glanced at Mabel and blinked severally. I yawned a little and stretched my body lazily on the bed."I met him"was what I could only utter.Mabel's brows pulled together in a worried look. "Who?""The crime boss. The one whose money we have to pay back. He owns the club I work in"I confessed.Mabel didn't even try to hide her shocked expression. With jaws dropped and mouth agape, she stared at me doe-eyed."He--he made me dance naked for him"I whispered as my eyes began welling up with tears. "What the fuck!"she exclaimed angrily."Just because you work in his goddamn club, it doesn't give him that right to do such an absurd thing to you"I nodded my head at her. Mabel came over to my side and wiped the few traitorous tears that trickled down my cheeks. "Sis I love you for everything you've been do

CRYSTAL I walked briskly towards my little apartment. I had talked to Bailey about my sudden urgent relocation to Toronto. She wailed loudly like a child. She didn't want me to go and I also didn't want to go but my hands were tied. She did inquire of the reason and I just cooked up a story that my sister got a job offer there. We had talked to Jane about it and fortunately she agreed to it. Bailey escorted me to the trainstation to buy two tickets and currently now I was heading back home after that tiresome activity. Our train was scheduled to leave by nine pm and it was seven pm. I just had an hour to prepare. I truly hoped Mabel would have finished packing by now so we could get the hell out of this city and away from the clutches of Leonardo. On getting to the door of my apartment, I found out it was unlocked. That was strange. Mabel never left the door unlocked. I pushed it open slightly and peered inside.My jaws dropped and my pupils dilated on entering inside. My once

CRYSTAL Feet. They were approaching me. Immedately my eyes fluttered open as my ears twitched to the sound of feet approaching me. I was a light sleeper and the tiniest noise could disrupt my sleep. I didn't even realise I had fallen asleep, my body resting on the wooden edges of the bed. My gaze slowly lifted up and locked with the eyes of a different maid.I yawned drowsily and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palms.She cleared her throat at me and offered me a polite smile. "Dinner is ready. Please come downstairs to the dinning room. Master wants to have dinner with you"she instructed.Master?My brows furrowed at her. Leonardo was just a cocky jerk. "I'm not coming"I blurted out, standing up and lying on the soft mattress of the bed. She blinked severally as if trying to grasp what she heard. "Huh? You are declining master's offer?"she muttered slowly."Yes. I don't want to eat especially not with him"I snapped back."Reconsider please. He would be angry"she interceed

CRYSTAL After that breakfast I had with Leonardo, I hadn't set my eyes again on him for up to a week. It seemed like he just vanished into thin air. I had gone upstairs after having breakfast with him and sat by myself in the my bedroom-- or should I call it a prison cage. I didn't come out again until evening. I was truly growing accustomed to just enjoying my own company. I felt free whenever I was with myself, away from the clutches of Leonardo and his callous attitude. The broad grin on my face when Maya had told me Leonardo had to catch a flight to Australia was so wide that it could have torn my lips apart. I felt so happy. I felt so free. The beast was no more around me. Even if it was just for a short period of time, I still felt extremely happy and I had this sudden freedom to do whatever I want. I actually thought of running away but I realised the brute actually increased the security measures inside and outside the doors of his mansion.He didn't want me to es
