That’s impossible. My parents never mentioned taking out any debt from the mafia and definitely not five hundred million dollars. What would they even need that much money for anyways? We lived a normal life. We didn’t have any crazy money to spend like that.
I turned to look behind me at my sobbing grandmother who had a look of absolute shock on her face. I knew it, this is probably also my grandmother’s first-time hearing about all this. I was worried about my grandmother. She looked so pale like she could pass out at any moment and her silent sobbing cries had gotten louder as the situation worsened around us.
“It’s just as the contract states. Your parents borrowed five hundred million dollars from our boss and we’re here to get it back. Simple,” the man continued in a passionless voice.
Simple. My foot.
I looked down at the contract that I clutched tightly in my trembling hand. Scanning it, I could see the words and figures of five hundred million dollars. The signature of both of my parents were on the document. Did they really take out this ridiculous loan? Why?
“But…my parents passed away many years ago…” I whispered, still unable to come to terms with this.
I was in no position to pay off any debt. We could barely afford to get by. We had no money to spare, let alone the five hundred million dollars that the man was talking about.
“Exactly. That’s why we’ve been looking high and low for you, their only daughter. Since your parents are dead, you’ll have to pay the boss back,” the man said while nodding his head.
“But…I don’t have any money…” I said, completely at a loss.
“Well, that’s not exactly my problem. However, the boss wants his money back. So, you’re coming with us,” the man said.
Before I could react, the man’s hand had reached forward in astonishing speed and was gripping my wrist tightly in his large hand. He didn’t hold me too tightly and it didn’t hurt but no matter how much I struggled against him, his grip wouldn’t loosen.
“Let go! What do you think you’re doing?” I cried out loudly as I continued to struggle vainly against his grip.
“Stop struggling. You’re making this unnecessarily hard for both of us. My boss has ordered me to bring you to him if you don’t have any money to pay him back with,” the man said as he dealt with my struggling effortlessly.
“No! I refuse!” I shouted.
“Well, I’m just doing my job. Hurting women and old grannies isn’t my thing. I suggest you stop struggling now and come with me willingly,” the man said sternly.
“Lisa!” I heard my grandmother call out my name repeated in a strained and broken voice when she witnessed the physical struggle between the man and I.
However, soon after my grandmother was silent. I turned around to see that she had fainted. Oh…what do I do now?
“Let go! Can’t you see my grandma has fainted! This is all because of you…” I shouted at the man, tears stinging my eyes. This is the worst; I can’t start crying now. I need to help grandma first…
“Yo…you stay behind. Call the ambulance and get dear granny there to the closest hospital. Girl, you’re coming with me,” the man instructed one of his teammates while pointing a finger at my grandma.
The next thing I knew, my body was being lifted off the floor. The man carries me up and threw me across his shoulder effortlessly. I cried out in surprise at what was going on before I started beating my firsts on his shoulders and kicking my legs wildly.
“Grandma! Grandma!” I called out as loudly as I could as I continued to struggle.
I watched my grandmother’s unresponsive form as she laid on the floor and I felt tears running down my face. Is she going to be, ok? I don’t have anybody left…I can’t lose her too.
…
Everything that happened once I entered the black limousine was like a scene from the movies where the young woman was kidnaped by the mafia, stuffed into a car with her hands and feet bounded and a black bag placed over her head to stop her from struggling and to make sure that she didn’t know where she was being taken.
Just like in a movie, once I was inside the car I wouldn’t stop struggling and yelling at the top of my lungs. The men restrained me to the seat at first with their hands before they looked at each other and decided that more needed to be done to restrain me.
“Listen, Miss. I’ve been ordered to treat you kindly and with respect. I’m not allowed to use violence but if I deem that you will do less damage to yourself if you were restrained then I will restrain you. Do you get it?” the same man from before explained with a tired sigh.
“I don’t care!” I shouted in his face.
Seeing that I wouldn’t cease screaming and struggling, the man nodded to his men and one man started bounding my hands together while the other bounded my feet. I screamed at the top of my lungs and cursed at them all the way until they taped my mouth shut, literally.
“This is for your own good, miss. I can’t let you arrive in front of the boss in a damaged condition. Bear with us for a while…” the man said with a chuckle as he took out his mobile phone.
“Yes…you can tell the boss that we’re on the way. Yes, the girl is with us,” the man reported to whoever was on the other end of the line.
The phone call was short and succinct unlike the journey that I was on. Since they didn’t blindfold me, probably because they thought that it was unnecessary, I was still able to see the scenery outside of the car’s windows. I couldn’t tell where they were taking me, but it was clear from the direction that we were going that we were headed to the capital city.
I haven’t been back to the buzzling and busy city since I moved to the countryside to live with my grandmother. I wondered if that place has changed at all?
“Wake up, little miss. We’ve arrived,”
--To be continued…
I heard a low voice call out to me before a hand reached out and shook my right shoulder. I woke up with a small jump. When did I fall asleep? I must have dozed off during the multi-hour ride to the city. I guess I was tired, I didn’t realize when I had fallen asleep at all.Where am I?The car had come to a complete stop and looking out of the window I could see that we have arrived at a gigantic mansion decorated in the baroque European style. This building is massive! Are we at a luxury hotel?I could see the beautifully decorated garden outside with its cupid water fountain and flowers of various types and colors. If the circumstances of my arrival here had been any different, then I’m sure that I would have enjoyed the view and would have felt super excited to be in such a nice place. However, the only thing I felt right now was anxiety, fear, and stress.The men wordlessly unbounded my hands and feet before carefu
“So, you do remember me. Excellent!” the boss said with a warm smile that showed off the wrinkles around the corners of his eyes.I have to say that I did not expect the kind-hearted uncle to be a mafia boss. In other words, I did not expect the mafia boss to be a smiley uncle figure.“Yeah…umm…hello…once again, I guess,” I stammered when I finally found my tongue.“Have a drink, dear. You look a little tired from the trip. It must have been a long one…” the boss said as he gestured to a glass or water that was placed on the coffee table.“Thank you…” I whispered as I reached for the glass.“Did my men treat you roughly? I did order them to be gentle with you…as gentle as handling a feather,” the boss asked, suddenly his gaze was serious.For some reason, I figured that I shouldn’t tell him that they
“So, you see, that family member that I have chosen is my son. Trust me, it’s much better than marrying me, is it not?” the boss said, laughing at his own sick joke.I stared at the document in shock as my hand shook. If I tear this paper apart, will that void the contract? I guess not…As I was deep in thought as to what I should do next, the boss’s mobile phone started to ring loudly, disturbing the tense atmosphere in the room.“What? I see…and? We’ll cover it…give her the best treatment,” the boss spoke through the phone.The conversation came to an end and the boss looked at me with a sad face and I wondered what that whole phone call was about.“The man that took your grandmother to the hospital just called,” the boss said solemnly.“How is she?” I asked with worry.“I think she already knew this but…
“Miss Malissa, the boss wants to see you now,” the leader of the men in black said as he poked his head in through the opened door.“Ok…let’s go,” I said as I walked towards the door.I wished I had gotten to speak with my grandmother, but she was still asleep. I wanted to talk to the boss too. Perhaps, he had already given up on the wedding based on what happened earlier today.…“You want me to what?” I said as my eyes widened in shock. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.“Hahaha! You don’t have to act so excited. It is as I said, I want you to move in and live with Hayden. He’s handsome, isn’t he? Just like me when I was younger…” the boss said cheerfully as he sipped red wine.“Umm…what he looks like isn’t the main problem here…” I muttered.“You will do as
Hayden had arrived and is sitting very close to me opposite the dinner table. This is the closest that we’ve gotten since we met at the church at what was supposed to be our wedding. Although, it failed miserably at my relief.Well, at least, he isn’t dead drunk this time, I thought as I looked at the man sitting opposite to me.Now that I had a chance to see him up close, I had to admit that Hayden is extremely handsome and attractive. Light blond hair, flawless skin, bright blue eyes, and a very handsome face with a straight nose. He looks like an angel, a prince, a Greek god, and everything else along those lines.As I have observed before at the church, Hayden was very tall, and I barely reached his shoulders even in those ultra-high heels I was forced to wear at our failure of a wedding. I wasn’t surprised that he had a girlfriend or at least a lover…or two…or more…?I was also sure that
“…I don’t understand,” I said, confused.“It’s simple, really. Each time you break any of the rules, I’ll fl a part of your body as mine,” Hayden said with a smile.“As yours?” I asked, still confused. If all parts of my body are still intact, how can he possibly claim a part to be his?“Yes. The body part that I’ve chosen to claim will be mine to do with as I please, wherever and whenever I please,” Hayden stated as he smiled with utmost satisfaction at his own idea.Seeing that I still looked quite confused to this alien concept, Hayden laughed softly at me as he continued to watch me from the opposite side of the table.“Stand up…and strip,” Hayden commanded, his eyes never leaving my face.“Excuse me?” I replied in shock. What did he just…say?“Stand up and take off your clothes.
**Clap Clap Clap**“That was quite a cute little show…now…try your best to stay very still,” Hayden said as he clapped his hand with pleasure.Lazily, Hayden slowly stood up from his seat and came to stand directly in front of me. He’s so close…we’re not even an arm’s length away from each other. I felt my body freeze as his blue eyes locked with mine. For the life of me, no matter how I struggled internally, I couldn’t look away from his captivating eyes.I held my breath and for a moment, I forgot to breath entirely. I didn’t know what he wanted from me.“Ah…” I let out a slight sound and quickly bit my lower lip to silence myself.Hayden had reached out a hand and touched my right shoulder with the back of his hand before running his fingertips slowly and softly down my right arm.“What are you…doing?” I asked stunn
“Do you like it?” Hayden asked when he released my finger from his mouth.He didn’t wait for me to reply before taking my ring finger into his mouth. He licked it, sucked on it, and twirled his tongue around it until my body trembled. The warmth and wetness of his mouth around my finger felt…so good.By the time he had completed sucking and licking on all the fingers on my left hand, I was panting hard and out of breath. I could barely stand. I never thought that I could feel this turned on just from my left hand being kissed and licked. The pleasure he stirred within me from his playful kisses and sucking was unbelievably amazing.“You have 29 days left. Good luck keeping the rest of your body to yourself, Malissa,” Hayden teased as he let go on my now completely wet hand.As soon as he was done, I scooped up my clothes from the floor and used it to cover my body
