Chapter 49
Rosana woke up early in the morning and dressed up in her combat uniform. Even after the introduction, she still had to train with Enzo to keep fit. But now was different because she didn’t have to train like her life depended on it.
Enzo was still charming with his smiles and joked around as always. He was shocked when he learned that Rosana had ordered her bodyguard to whip Senator Marcello Di Maggio. One of the powerful men who bowed to them. The Mafia was the reason for their existence.
“Have you finally made up your mind about that motherf*cker, Ville?” He asked during their training. Enzo had not forgotten how they both went back and forth on their first day.
“He is staying. I need him”
“You need him?” Enzo asked, surprise evident in his voice. “Since f*cking when?”
Since Sergio informed me that I needed him. She wanted to say but bit back the words. “Since when I realized that I needed protection. And how else would I have handled that psychopath anyway?”
“You handled him just fine. Motherf*cker will pay in hell one day”
It was surprising that no one was scolding her for the actions she had put up back there. Sergio gave her a go ahead and Enzo gave her a thumbs up. No one seemed to have a problem with her cutting off an Important customer as Angelica had called him.
But she was still mad. How many of those types of men were still out there, hurting innocent girls? They might have had all the money in the world but that didn’t give them the right to treat others like animals.
“Did you know something like that was going on?”
“Nah, I did not” Enzo replied and toweled the perspiration off his face. “My brother does not know a sh*t either. We focus on the main deals leaving the clubs and brothels to our mother, as long as the money keeps rolling in”
And that was it. Munika!
She had been responsible for everything and allowed that to happen. How many more girls had fallen victim over the past years? They were sacrificing their bodies, all for the men’s pleasure.
“It cannot continue. I want you to agree with me.”
Enzo looked at her and smiled.
She was so beautiful inside and out, the exact opposite of Sergio. While he was darkness, she was light. While he was bitter, she was sweet. While he was cold, she was warm. A perfect match made in heaven, he concluded.
“I agree with you, My Lady. If I had known about it sooner, I swear I would have dealt with those b@stards and motherf*ckers. I would have cut off their hands and c? cks, leaving them with no f*cking commission!”
Rosana smiled and took a swig of water. She was glad that the two brothers agreed with her. “Then I am gonna stop it. It ends now”
*****
Rosana visited the Brothels and clubs and spoke to the different managers and ladies about the changes she had made. No matter how important the customer was or how huge his money ran, he was forbidden to hurt the girls. He could only pay to have them for s. xual pleasures and nothing more.
If they didn’t adhere to the new rules, they would be severely punished and stripped of whatever title and wealth they possessed.
The managers agreed with the new improvement but also concluded that the business was going to go down. It was Munika’s policy to give the men whatever they wanted as long as they paid a huge amount of money. That was what made the business grow faster.
“Do you have any new strategy, My Lady?” Angelica asked once they got into her office. “Most of the men will back away and we will lose a lot of money”
“Are you so much more concerned about their money than the girls?” Rosana shot back, causing her to lower her gaze and bow immediately.
“I am sorry, My Lady. I only meant well!”
“And so do I. We are going to figure out something else. A better way around this”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a brief knock on the door and Angelica went to check. She turned back to Rosana who was waiting for feedback. “There is a lady here to see you, My Lady. She says it is important”
“Alright, let her in”
Angelica nodded at Ville who stood outside the door and opened the door wider, exposing him and a brown-haired girl “You can go inside”
Once she stepped into the office, Rosana looked up at her, her eyes wide with shock. Her mouth dropped open as she slowly rose from her sit in sight of the one person she hadn’t seen in years.
“My Lady!”
“Lucretia!” She half-yelled in disbelief, her eyes still wide open. “Is that really you?”
“It is me. But the name is long gone!” The girl responded as tears welled up in her eyes. “It has been years!”
Rosana rushed over and pulled her into a warm tight embrace. They didn’t want to let go because they both felt they would lose each other once again. And it would take ages before they reunited.
The hug lasted for so long a time before they finally pulled away from each other. Each with a smile on their face and tears in their eyes. Rosana offered her a seat and ordered Angelica to serve her the best wine she could find.
“Cannot believe I totally forgot what a good thing tasted like. I have not tasted something this good in years”
“Why, what happened?” Rosana asked with deep concern. “I looked everywhere for you, Cretia. You disappeared on me before we could even take graduation pictures together”
Lucretia stared at the glass of red wine in her hand as tears rolled down her cheeks. She could still remember everything that happened that day like it happened yesterday. The panic, the pain, the hurt, everything!
She was only eighteen years old. A cheerful and beautiful girl who was excited about her graduation from Senior High. Her admission letter into College had arrived that same morning and her happiness knew no bounds. That was supposed to be the best day of her life but…
“What happened?” Rosana asked again. That was one question she asked herself for years. What happened to Lucretia? Her best friend!
