Emilia~

"Hey! Get your hands off me!" I yelled at the mean looking, burly man, who just kept pulling me by my arm.

"Where the hell are you taking me!?"

I got no response from him, as he kept dragging me down various flights of stairs. He was taking me into some sort of underground basement.

"No... please!" I cried, scratching and fighting against the man, who was obvious working for Alberto; that bastard!

We finally arrived at a place where I assumed to be the final floor of the large building. He pushed open the tall, double doors, before shoving me inside.

I stumbled for a moment, before finally finding my footing. However, the scene before me left me struck with fear and uncertainty. Was I really about to die tonight?

Although he had his back to me, I instantly recognized Alberto. He was standing in front of a small fireplace, while sipping from his glass of wine.

The door was suddenly shut behind me, making my heart beat even faster. I was busted.

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Auction

    Emilia~I shuddered in disgust at my reflection in the mirror. I could no longer recognize the woman in front of me, and it stirred something inside me.Much like the other women around, I was also dressed in a very revealing outfit. My boobs were hanging out, and I had nothing much to cover my ass.I looked like some weird goth girl, with the dark themed makeup on my face. They even dyed my hair all-black, against my wish.My hands instinctively moved up to the collar around my neck, like everyone else's. I heard it's something Alberto likes to make his girls wear, as he owned the biggest sex trafficking ring in the Sicily.I learnt he was even a more dangerous man than I had imagined, and this illegal establishment was built from the scratch by both himself and Marcelo's father.No one was ever likely to escape, or find their way out of here, so many of them never tried. I was talking about the number of young women, and a few men, who were all getting themselves ready for the "main

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Hell hole

    Marcelo~ "Oh my goodness, that's her!" "That's Del Ponte's woman." "What the hell is Alberto trying to do?" "Nobody's bidding a dime on Marcelo's property, fuck Alberto!" "Let's get out of here, while we still can." A smirk tugged at the corners of my lips, as I observed the chaos slowly escalating. The pure look of frustration on Alberto's face, as he tried to put the situation under control, without much progress. The moment was fucking priceless. After I had shown her off at O'Dell's funeral, a lot of people had gotten the memo that Emilia belonged to me. They all knew she was mine, all apart from Alberto apparently. "Looks like someone's learning the hard way." Martinez said with a smirk identical to mine. My eyes were suddenly on Emilia, as she stood confused in the midst of the chaotic crowd. I watched her struggle mentally on whether to make a run for it or not. Fuck! That damn costume on her body was giving me ideas. I wanted to rip it off her, and m

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Talk

    Emilia~I had Marcelo's suit draped around me, giving me a little decency, as I was now seated at the backseat of the car.The journey back home was a rather silent one, as I remained looking out the car window, the whole time. My mind was occupied with thoughts that only seem to get scarier, as we drove past various sceneries. I was going back to Marcelo's.Martinez was the one driving me home, and I could notice his eyes on me, through the mirror. I knew he had things to say to me, but was probably trying to come up with the best words.When I couldn't take anymore of his stares, I decided to voice out in annoyance...which actually sounded way harsher than I intended."What?" I snapped.Martinez remained quiet for a few more seconds, keeping his eyes peeled on the road ahead."If you're not going to say anything, you might as well stop staring at me!" I hissed, eliciting a chuckle from him."You're upset." He simply stated, briefly looking at me, through the small mirror again."Dam

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Mummy's boy

    Marcelo~"You bastard! I'll make you pay for this." I cracked a smile at a seething Alberto, as he threatened fire and brimstones. It was a freaking comical sight."We haven't got all night, old man!" I taunted, as one of my men pressed a gun against the back of his head.There were documents in front of him, documents waiting to be signed, so I can assume full ownership of this place. I told him I was going to take everything from him, and I was making good on that promise.I watched his hands tremble, as he held a pen against the papers, beads of sweat running down his face.After much hesitation, he finally signed the papers, and I gleefully took them from him."What now?" He asked, glaring daggers at me."Are you going to kill me?" "You know I have a treaty with the Black Dragon. You can't touch me!"I let out a chuckle at his words. For a man like Alberto, death was too easy a path. A bullet to his head would definitely do the job, but I wasn't willing to let him off my hook so

I'll get better soon, and I promise to make it up to you all with better,longer chapters...oh, and new characters too!Marcelo~"Sounds to me like you're giving suggestions, and I might just take them." I spat venomously in his face."You don't scare me, kid!" He dared to smirk at me, despite the fact that his life was literally in my hands."I know exactly how you were made.""Deep down, we both know you're still the same weak..." He whispered with so much hate."... pathetic, mummy's boy!" At those words, I landed a punch on his face, sending him falling backwards.It would be way too easy for me to continue hitting him till he was no longer breathing, but I refrained myself from doing so. I had something worse, planned out for him."Pick him up!" I grunted out to my men, and two of them hurriedly gra

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Jealous

    Emilia~"Mom!" A younger version of myself, called out to my mother."What is it, Emil?" She answered from the kitchen, annoyance evident in her voice.Of course I didn't read any meaning into my mother's harsh intonation. I was just too excited, as today happened to be a very important day in my life. It was my graduation from highschool."Today is my graduation, remember?" I asked, running up to my mother, who was still busy cooking up a storm.My stomach instantly growled at the sight of the freshly made pancakes and eggs. Mother was always such a good cook."Oh!" Was my mother's only response to what I just told her, and my expression immediately morphed into a frown.She didn't remember?"You and Dad are coming, right?" I asked, still trying to hold on to whatever hope I had in me.I watched my mother carry on with what she was doing, not in any hurry to answer my question. She had always seen me as some... disturbance."You know your father is tied down with work." She finally

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Not a maid

    Emilia~Despite the fact that I was famished, I found myself picking at the food in front of me. I was slowly loosing my appetite, as I watched "Isabella" flirt shamelessly with Marcelo.Not able to take it anymore, I decided to call their attention by clearing my throat really loudly. They both turned their heads to look at me almost immediately."If you both don't mind, I'm trying to have breakfast here." I said, plastering a saccharine grin on my face."...and you're ruining it for me, with those disgusting remarks." Now I was staring right at a grinning Isabella, who seemed to be amused by my sudden outburst. Marcelo on the other hand, wore his usual emotionless mask."Oh I'm sorry... didn't see you there." Isabella suddenly spoke up, smiling through her fake apology."I think it's quite nice, that Marcelo allows his maid to eat at the same table." I frowned at her words, knowing exactly what she was trying to imply. "I am NOT his maid!" I declared firmly, slamming my hands on

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Chloe/Jada

    Emilia~I didn't know there were suburbs in Sicily, until this very moment. My eyes were widened in awe of the scenery around us.Martinez had suggested that we avoid using any of the expensive cars, so as not to attract attention from the wrong people. Apparently, this place didn't exactly have the reputation for housing the nicest residents.I followed closely behind Martinez, who kept taking long, confident strides, like he owned this neighborhood. Stench of cigarettes and decaying refuse filled the air, and I scrunched up my nose in disgust.Martinez had a black, knee-length coat on, his hands buried deep in his pockets. I on the other hand, had an oversized hoodie, which I used to cover most of my face. Remembering what happened that night, at Alberto's auction, it made sense why I had to cover my face. Somehow, being associated with Marcelo had made me more popular than I'd normally like. They all knew me to be Marcelo's property."Relax your shoulders. You look tense." Martine

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Warmth and shivers

    Emilia~I landed at the airport with my few belongings and I had to say, I was rather shocked to see a number of Marcelo's men already waiting for me.Somehow, they managed to know my exact location in the whole airport, despite the fact that I never informed Marcelo of my journey back to Sicily."Welcome back, Miss!" One of the men said, directly walking up to me with an imposing stature that only men of the Black Dragon could possess. I was impressed, but they didn't have to know that. I was still mad at their boss."Your boss made me travel all the way here." I feigned complaint, as I accompanied him towards a convoy of luxury cars that were already laying in wait.Some of the men were already taking hold of my luggage, the rest were flanking and keeping a close eye on our surrounding. It attracted stares from a lot of people at the airport."...I don't appreciate it." I said in a sudden deadpan.The tall male beside me, seemed to feel instantly attacked by my antics. He avoided e

  • HER ONLY CRIME   On the move

    Marcelo~With my arms folded behind my back, I casually walked down the hallway, Martinez hot on my tails.I could sense how nervous he was, about the situation at hand, but I tried not to let that bother me. I already had a plan in motion, and I was pretty positive about it.My only worry now was how I could cut loose on my father and make him see just how dangerous I could be. Retaliation has never been a problem for me, but I had to be patient...at least, until she is safe and far away from all these.Despite the fact that I still had eyes on Emilia, a part of me couldn't help but worry. She hadn't reached out to me since I left that town, and I was starting to fear that she might not be in support of my offer. If that were really the case, keeping her safe would be a real hassle.I and Martinez got into the newly constructed elevator. It was supposed to lead to the underground floor, where the real dirty business would be going down. I figured I had to be more secretive with my op

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Competition

    Marcelo~I watched the interaction between my men and two members of some street gang, who somehow managed to look like college dropouts.They had obviously never done this business with us before, and I could tell just how scared they were to be in my presence. My reputation of being a ruthless son of a gun, hasn't been totally ruined afterall.They were certainly not minors, but they were youngsters. I wasn't much older than them, when I first killed someone. The thought made me smile, despite the fact that I found it rather disturbing.One of my men was going through the bundles of dollar bill they had handed us in a bag. From the look of things, they seem to be all clear.I turned to look at Martinez from where he was standing at the opposite side of the room. He understood immediately and went out to go get the goods they came for. The two young men visibly relaxed, once they saw me crack a smile."Gentlemen!" I beamed up at them, watching them exchanged a somewhat uncomfortable

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Letter

    Emilia~It's been over a week since all that happened that night. Marcelo was recovering quickly, and had gone back to his home in Sicily with Martinez.Chloe was still nowhere to be found, so I was stuck with Jennie, which wasn't really a bad thing.Sometimes I'd catch myself in a mental debate over who I was missing more, between Marcelo and Chloe.I still remember how I felt waking up one morning to Marcelo's bed being empty. He had left sometime in the middle of the night, and I knew he intentionally wanted to keep it away from me. The only thing he left behind was a stupid note, which I still haven't read.He had also left with Martinez, which indicated that they weren't coming back anytime soon.Knowing Marcelo, he was probably being eaten up by guilt again. He probably already decided within himself that walking away from my life would be the best way to ensure my safety. I felt a slight twinge of guilt, knowing I had insinuated that earlier."Earth to Emilia?!" Jennie called,

    Emilia~"Jesus, Emilia! Who the fuck are these people?!" Jennie shrieked, aiming her shotgun at us."And why are they in my house?" To be fair, I'd also be scared if I was Jennie. This was sometime around midnight and I was breaking into her house with Martinez, holding an injured Marcelo."Please put the gun away, Jennie. I can explain." I said to her, raising up my hands to show her that we were not threats "Oh, you better do!" She hissed, finally lowering her gun and shifting her attention to the two men behind me."Don't even think about it!" She snapped at Martinez, as he attempted lowering Marcelo onto one of the sofas."I don't want no blood stains on my sofa. Come on!" She said, walking towards another room in her apartment.She pushed the door open and beckoned on them to go in. "That's my son's room. You can use it for the night." I smiled gratefully at her, as Martinez led his injured boss towards the said room. I watched him get slowly lowered onto a bed that appeared

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Never let go

    Emilia~"We can't take him to the hospital." Martinez spoke up from the driver's seat.I raised my head up to give him a questioning look."Why not?" "Well, this town's medical facilities suck, and the cops would also be there waiting." He answered.I was still quite puzzled about his answer, as a run in with cops has never been a source of worry to Marcelo before. I decided not to ask further questions however.Marcelo's head rested on my laps, and he had a frown on his face with his eyes closed. He was still in so much pain and I wished more than anything to be able to make it stop."Take us to my apartment then. I'll give you directions." I said to Martinez, after a long pause.He seemed to be in agreement with me, and immediately hit the gas pedal to speed up. Once we get home, I was going to have to face an upset Jennie, but I knew she would still be of help. I could try to take care of Marcelo's injuries, but Jennie happens to be way better at it. I just have to find a good w

  • HER ONLY CRIME   A pain well deserved

    Emilia~Despite the fact that I was a good distance away from the diner, I still ran as fast as my legs could carry me back there.I spent the whole time thinking about Marcelo and what state I might find him in. I regretted leaving him all by himself, and hoped to at least find him still breathing.The diner soon came into view, and I sped up my steps at the sight of a broken glass door and a small crowd gathered around. Sirens were blaring really loudly in the air, and I could see a couple police officers and paramedics. My heart skipped a beat.I made a beeline towards the scene, jumping over the barricade. Luckily, everyone was too busy to notice me walking into the diner. I wanted see things for myself, I wanted to see if Marcelo was still in there.A body was placed on a stretcher and was carried past me. My eyes instantly widened and I followed after the medical team, trying to take the veil off the body. I was suddenly held back by a cop, who looked down at me with a stern ex

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Rematch

    Marcelo~[Flashback]"Weak!" My father shouted at me, as he whipped my open back.I bit down hard in a bid to avoid making any sound, as that would make him start all over again.I was holding onto the desk in front of me, excruciating pain coursing through my entire body. I had failed on my first mission and this was my punishment."Pathetic!" He yelled out again, cracking his whip and landing another hit on me.I shut my eyes tight, as tears threatened to fall from them. If only I was stronger, maybe I'll be able to fight him and make my way out of here.I had realized that he was trying all he could to make me just like him. The pain, the torture and abuse were all tools to make a villain out of me."Keep up like this, and you'll end up like your mother!" He whispered into my ear, making sure to inflict some emotional pain in addition to the physical pain I was already enduring.He knew how sensitive that subject was to me. He knew exactly how it made me tick to hear him speak so l

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Suicide

    Emilia~With the hands of a very skilled driver, Chloe quickly put the car on reverse, without even turning to look back. I held my breath, as I sank deeper into my seat.Soon we were driving towards the opposite direction, and that was when I was finally able to make sense of my jumbled up thoughts."You just ran that man over!" I exclaimed, my eyes fixated on the dashboard in alarm of how fast we were going.I also noticed that we were in a Jeep, and it definitely doesn't belong to Jennie. Chloe probably stole it from one of the townsfolk and whoever it was, wasn't going to be too happy about it. I decided not to talk about that though."What was I supposed to do? Give him a cuddle?" Chloe sassed, making me narrow my eyes at her.How she could be so nonchalant about what she just did, was well beyond me. She did save my life though.I noticed there were a few luggage in the backseat of the car, and I was immediately curious about them."Couldn't pack all our stuff. There wasn't much
