Lahat ng Kabanata ng MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Mummy?!" Mummy!" Little Caterina's voice resounds through the living room. She has always been a child that demands a lot of attention. She could do just fine on her own, but she believes no one needed to know that. "Yes, baby?" Her mom walks slowly into the living room as she rubs her big belly. She was already eight months and two weeks gone, but she had no problems maneuvering her way around the pain and stress. "I want to go to the park!" "Not today, Catty. Your father said to stay indoors." Her mom eased herself into one of the cushions. "But, daddy isn't here." Caterina gave her mom one of her signature poppy dog eyes. "How about we go swimming instead?" "No! I want to go to the park!" "Catty, don't raise your voice at your elders," "But, mummy..." She stops talking when she notices her mom gripping her stomach in pain. "Mummy, are you alright?" Fear was evident in her voice. "Catty, call 911." She hurriedly picks up her mom's phone and makes the phone call. Tea

Caterina was quite familiar with fear as it is something she grew up around. Being around her father alone was enough reason for her to be afraid. At work, her boss is someone to fear if her scars were anything to go by. But the kind of fear she is feeling right now, she had never felt before. She decides that if this man stalking her was going to kill her, she would at least put in effort to get away. She couldn't fight, she is the least athletic person and she has no one to call, so she would have to use her last feminine weapon: Her mouth. 'Let's see if I can nag him to death'She halts, turns around and swallows as she takes in the huge figure of the man standing in front of her. His 6'2 figure was intimidating her 5'8 self. His gray eyes held a threatening look, but she wasn't going to back down now."It's rude to stalk someone, you know?" Her voice comes out strong, contrasting to the great fear eating her away on the inside."I'm not stalking you, princess." The sound of his v

Caterina stares at herself in the mirror as she tries to recall the last time she got all dressed up. She isn't the type to go out and even when she did, it wasn't to a fancy restaurant like the one Sebastian was taking her to tonight. The sound of her phone ringing brings her back to reality."Hey, I'm outside." Sebastian's voice comes from the other end of the call."I'll be right out," She picks up her purse and takes one more glance in the mirror. Her gown is made of luxurious silk fabric, a rich, royal blue. The gown is sleeveless, with a sweetheart neckline that softly frames the face and accentuates the décolletage. The waistline is cinched with a sparkling gemstone belt, which adds a touch of glamour to the gown. The bodice is fitted, accentuating the hourglass figure, and the skirt flows gracefully to the floor, with a gentle train trailing behind, adding an air of regality. Nodding in approval of her look, she exits her house. Sebastian smiles as she spots her. He remembe

Caterina could feel her heartbeat accelerate with each passing second. Not only was she right about being watched, but she realized now that her decision to leave her job and effectively her house had probably saved her from whatever these men had in store for her.The sound of two loud successive thuds brought her frozen mind back to earth and she couldn't believe what just played out in front of her. Sebastian had knocked out the two buff-looking men and they were now lying unconscious on the floor. She eyes him with a shocked, questioning, and admiring look, and he gives her a pointed look as if urging her to get her things. Minutes later, they are back on the road and speeding through the highways. "Are you okay?" Caterina finally asks."Yeah, I'm fine." Sebastian throws her a quick glance "Exactly! How are you okay? Those men had guns, not toy guns from the looks of it,""Of what use is a weapon if you don't know how to use it?" Sebastian knows he is going to have to cook up a

Caterina stares at her new room feeling intimidated by the size and beauty of it. It wasn't your everyday house-help quarter. It was an entire suite. The pieces of furniture were polished nude and the lilac colored curtains made the room look like a doll house. The kitchen area can be seen from the living room, only separated by a beaded curtain. All the types of equipment imaginable were neatly arranged, making it look like perfection itself. "Do you want another room?" Elena's voice cuts through her train of thought, bringing her back to earth. "No, this one is perfect. When do I start working?" "Seriously? Most people would want to get to know their doppelganger and all you care about right now is work? Aren't you even slightly curious?" "Everyone has a lookalike. It's nothing special. Besides, I came here to work," "We should at least get to know each other, right? I mean, you'll be following me everywhere from here on out so it's only normal that I ask some questions abo
