Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia

“It all happened when I went to use the bathroom. Two men followed me in there and pointed their f*cking guns at me. I was so scared and tried to escape but they were bigger… Stronger. One of them slapped me hard across the face because I had bitten him. I lost balance and hit my head on the tiles. That was the last thing I remembered before I passed out”

“I woke to find myself tied up in a plane. My mouth was taped and I could not move or make a f*cking sound. I was so helpless and thought they were gonna k*ll me. They inflicted so much pain and made me bleed from every corner of my body” She choked on a sob and continued. “I was only eighteen! And that was supposed to be the best day of my life!”

“They brought me back here and delivered me to Grasso Romon, all broken. Turns out my father owed him so much over the years and could not pay him back. He found out about me and sent his men to get me for the debt repayment.”

“Oh, goodness!” Rosana cried and pulled her into another hug. “I knew something was wrong when I could not find you.”

“And I will remain forever grateful to Don Sergio De Niro for ending that b@stard most slowly and excruciatingly.”

Rosana heaved in relief and pulled away from her. She was glad Sergio ended him the way he did. That was the first time she felt pleased by his ruthless k*lling of a person. If she had known Grasso Romon was the reason behind her best friend’s disappearance, she would never have felt sorry when she watched him being skinned alive.

“I am glad you are back, Lucretia. I missed you so much!”

She smiled for the first time in years, her dimples on full display. “I missed you too, Rosa. I kept thinking about you and Allen and wondering if you guys had finally graduated college, gotten married as promised, and had kids”

The seed of guilt blossomed into a full-blown tree, trunk and all in her stomach as she stared back at her long-lost friend. She had battled so hard with memories of the past and locked it away but now, it resurfaced with full force, causing her head to ache.

“What happened to you guys?” Lucretia asked. It was her turn to be worried and concerned. “How did you end up here?” She was not ready to go into details. Especially one that would remind her of the past, her failures, and her heartbreaks. She was now Rosana De Niro. Donna and Queen of the Mafia!

“I never knew you were the lady introduced as the Queen that night. Not until I saw the papers everywhere when I was trying to escape”

Rosana’s brows drew together. “Escape? Why?”

“Because I am not safe here. When Grasso’s men find out that I am missing, they will find me and end me for good!” She paused and sighed. “But I do not have any money to go far from here. That is why I decided to apply for a job here!”

Rosana cringed and stared at her like she had suddenly grown two heads. How could she apply for a job in the brothel of all places???

“Hey, do not give me that look. That b@stard had tainted my innocence a long time ago!”

Rosana grimaced. “I am sorry about that. But that does not mean you should continue that way!” A sigh ripped out of Rosana’s chest and she finally responded. “Fine. But dancing only!”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

***** Lucretia was then introduced to Manager and every other worker in the club. She was treated like a special guest because she was Donna’s best friend. After everything, she departed and Rosana returned to the mansion.

After taking a cool shower, she dressed up and got down for dinner. As she ate alone, her mind flashed back to the dinner she had with Sergio. It was unusually peaceful and splendid. Something she hadn’t expected.

A smile touched her lips when she remembered the priceless look on Sergio’s face when he laughed. The sound of his laughter was the only thing she remembered when she fell asleep that night.

“Someone looks excited eating all alone!” Vicenta’s chill voice broke into her thoughts and the smile fled from her face, just as it came. “Is that not strange? Or are you slowly developing a mental issue after everything you have seen and been through?”

Rosana chose to ignore her and continued eating her meal. She wasn’t worth it. She told herself. The Mistress was just a bored lady who was tired of sitting in her room and waiting for her Master’s return.

Vicenta gritted her teeth when she saw the null expression on her face. She was trying to get to her but it wasn’t working. It felt like Rosana had already braced herself, ready for whatever she had in store.

“It must suck to be a Queen who does not have her King with her all the time. You must be lonely, it is pathetic to watch!” When she didn’t budge, Vicenta added. “He does not warm your bed, does he? I already know the answer to that because he is always with me!”

“He chokes the life out of me sometimes” She continued with a smile. It was clear she was enjoying herself. “Do you know he turns into a beast? Oh, sorry, you do not know that!”

Rosana picked up the glass of water and took a sip. She was done eating in a jiffy and ready to retire to bed, all thanks to the Mistress’s boring company. She finally stood up to leave.

“I am not done talking!” Vicenta growled and blocked her path. Rosana moved to the side but she sidestepped her, mimicking her movement. “You do not have any respect, do you? Answer me!”

“I do not have words for someone who knows nothing but how to please her Master in bed. Such a sad thing you have going on with you.” Rosana paused and shook her head slightly. “I also heard you do not have a life outside your bedroom. How does it feel? Oh, sorry, I can never understand who it feels even if you spell it out to me, do you know why?”

Vicenta was already boiling at the highest temperature.

“Because I am Queen, with or without a crown. I have responsibilities and people to rule. Oh, sorry, you know nothing about that either!”

“You…” Vicenta trailed off and raised her hand to slap her. She was surprised when Rosana didn’t move an inch or try to stop her.

“Go on!” She smirked smugly and smooched her teeth with her tongue. “Hit me hard. Very hard it would leave a mark!”

Vicenta’s hand froze in midair as she kept staring at her in surprise. What was this girl up to? She wondered, her eyes flickering with anger.

“What are you waiting for? Go on, take your best shot!” When she didn’t make a move, Rosana folded her arms and stepped forward, causing her to cower in fear. “You can ask around what happened to the last person that hurt me. It was unintentional but guess what your Master did to him”

“Now, go ahead, Mistress Vicenta, I dare you!”
