His Mafia Heiress

Anika is Home

Chapter 8

--Anika--

I woke up hearing the waves of the Mediterranean sea, as I open my eyes, I’m in a huge room, it was dark because the color of the room was dark gray, just the side bed lamp that gives a little bit of light in this room. Then I remember the guy injects in me something that makes me fall asleep, that maybe some kind of propofol. When I remember that I was being sold by my parents, I knew I was in the place of that asshole, I get up of the bed and wear my heels which is at the side of the bed and make my way to the door. I slightly open the door to sneak if there is someone outside but luckily no one is there, since it was night already they may be at their rooms snoring. I immediately walk down the staircase without making any noise, as I reached the first floor, my eyes widen when I saw the door going outside this house. I was about to run to the door when I saw a black guy walk to the other side or the house, I immediately hide of the couch. When I finally had the chance to run to the door, I removed my heels to make sure I will not make any noise then run fast to the door. I open the door carefully and when I’m out I put on my heels and look at around, since no one was there I run off as fast as I could when I heard a gunshot that makes me shout and stop running. When I look at my right side I saw the asshole and his men surrounding a man lying in the floor bathing his own blood. The asshole’s eyes widen when I see him killing people. I run immediately into the man on the floor, I was about to kneel down to revive him when he suddenly grab my hand.

“Do not touch her” he said glaring at me

“I’m a f*****g doctor” I yelled at him

He grabs my hands and carry me through his shoulders like I’m a kid don’t want to be disciplined.

“Get off me” I was shouting at the top of my lungs while those words fell on deaf ears. When we reach the room where I came from, he get a remote and touch something that opens the light in this dark room, and he drop me off the bed.

“You do not touch nasty people” He said looking down at me with his hands on his waist

“But you’re one them” I said, emphasizing every word I said, I was about to continue talking when I saw a big portrait at his back, a picture if me in canvass. I get up of the bed and walk near the portrait. Without looking at him, I asked.

“Why me?” My question suddenly change and my voice shifted to a voice asking for explanation. I heard his footsteps walking towards me, he stand beside me and now we’re looking at the portrait in front of us.

I heard him chuckle before he answered me, an answered that I never expected to hear.

“Because I love you” he said, I saw him in my peripheral vision looking at me while saying those words, and it gives shiver into my spines. “Loved” is the not in my vocabulary, nobody said that to me not even my parents. The word love is very new to me, all my life I think I was incapable of being loved but here’s a filthy rich man standing beside me who bought me to my parents declaring his love for me.

Without any words, he come near me and kissed me in my head, he leave the room and left me dumbfounded.

It’s been an hour since he left this room and there I am sitting on a single couch facing the sea, this reminds me of the sea in my room at my parent’s house. I tried to sink everything on my mind to plan for this unexpected life I have now but no matter what I do, my mind don’t want to absorb it. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn’t expect the asshole was already in the room.

“Hey! Anika” He said and then throw the pillow on me and then laugh.

This guy is a psycho I said in my mind, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you here?” I yelled at him which makes him chuckle while holding a pillow which his supposed to throw at me again, I guess.

“Well because this is my mansion and this room is definitely my room, as you can see I have your picture in my room’s wall” he said while smiling, and that smile annoys me. When he put down the pillow I almost held in gasp and my eyes widen looking at him wearing only pajamas with no shirt on exposing every details of his tattoo.

“Done checking me?” He said that makes me come to my senses. That’s embarrassing I told to myself.

“You’re not allowed to sleep beside me” I huffed folding my arms over my chest.

“Don’t worry I’m harmless” He said then let out a loud laugh.

“Psycho” I said and then walk to the bathroom.

As I enter the bathroom, it was huge that you can even have another room here. There’s no division in here, it also have a huge bathtub with a TV on its corner. The walls are glass and it has 4 showers on the wall. I saw a cabinet at the right side of the door so I opened it to check for hygiene kits that I can use. Luckily I saw a new branded toothbrush a fresh towel and a bathrobe. I take off all my clothes when I remember I have nothing to wear since what I wore was the only clothes I brought with me. So I put on the bathrobe get my undergarments and go to the asshole, I still don’t know his name. I saw him talking to someone over the phone and when he saw me, he looked at me with lust.

“W-What?” He almost tattered

“I don’t have something to wear after taking my shower, so wash and dry this one so I have something to use when I sleep”

“I’m the owner of this house not your maid” He said glaring at me

“Beside you don’t need to wear anything when you go to bed” He said with a provoking smile.

“Pervert” I yelled at him and then he let a loud laugh echoing his huge room.

“You’re so cute when you’re like that” He said and then walks through the telephone, his smile was still on those lips while pressing the button.

“Albert, tell Amelia to come here in my room, my wife needs something” He said and then look at me.

“Wife? I’m not your wife” I said looking at him with annoyance

“You just don’t know yet, but now you’re here, I'm now telling you that you are my wife” He said and then wink at me, I just rolled my eyes at him.

“Where’s your closet?” I said not giving a damn to his nonsense jokes.

“Just turn right before the bathroom door, you can wear anything you want, or wear nothing if you insist” He said with that annoying face again.

“Stop it, I’m not buying it” I said and then turn my back on him, leaving him laughing like some sort of a kid who wins in an argument.

I walk through his closet and it was huge, I’m amuse, it was wide, very organize and luxurious seeing every branded types of clothes hanging in every closet. I walked to the white hanging clothes and scan to choose what to wear since I can’t be naked with that pervert near me. I choose a white pull over, and then search for his socks, I found a pair of white adidas high socks on a drawer. I almost jumped into where I’m standing when a woman suddenly talk at my back.

“Ms.Anika?” She must be Amelia, she looks as old as my madelene back home.

“Please wash this and dry them off because I have nothing to wear after I take a shower, if you don’t mind washing my undergarments” I said with a shy smile looking at her which seems to remove the tense on her face.

“No problem Ms. Anika” She said smiling at me then gets my undergarments.

I walked straight to the bathroom and take a nice shower, I don’t know how many minutes I spent there but I just finished when Amelia knock in the door.

“Ms. Anika, you’re clothes are ready to wear” She said

I walked through the door and slightly open it enough for me to take out my hands and get my undergarments.

“Thank you” I said then locked the door

I took my towel to dry off my body. I don’t use deodorants so once my body is dry I wear my thongs and put on the pull over I got from the cabinet. Since his 6’3 I’m just 5’3 his clothes are like my dress, It fell of 2 inch above my knees. I don’t wear my bra since I’m going to sleep because that can cause cancer. I put on my socks and dump the towel I used in the basket.

I saw him watching TV on the bed when I get out of the bathroom.

“Are you trying to seduce me” He said while looking at me, I just ignored him and lay down on the bed, it’s been a long day after all, even though I just slept the whole time, my mind needs to rest.

“You look hot” He added, still ignoring him.

I remember, Tonight I can’t sleep not knowing the truth, so I sit and face him.

“I have a question” looking at with a serious face. He might notice that what I’m going to ask is a serious thing so he turned off the TV and look at me.

“I know, and I want you to know that you can ask me anything” He said in serious tone.

“You have pretty good investigator, I knew you have check every little details in me" I stopped to take breath because asking “Am I a legitimate child?” I ask looking straight to his eyes, searching for answers. I can’t sleep not knowing the truth.

He looks down and holds my hands, by that time I knew the answer already, tears suddenly formed in my eyes.

 “You we’re just in the tummy of your mom, when Alfredo arranged your papers, to be legally updated when you come into this world” He said and tears started dripping my cheeks, so I looked down and let them fall into the blanket. He holds my chin and lift them, now his looking straight to my eyes, but it’s blurred due to tears.

“Hey! I want you to know I will always be here for you no matter what, from now on I will be you family” He said and hugged my tightly, I felt his kiss in my head.

It felt good being in his arms, it gives calmness sniffing his scents, now I know why they treated me that like, why I’m never going to be good enough for them, why they sold me for that goddamn company, but still I have many questions in my mind like why this man bought me?

“Stop crying, they don’t deserve your tears” My thoughts blew away when I heard him talk again.

I moved from his hug and change to my sleeping position and said “I’m sleepy”

“Good night my Anika, tomorrow will be a great day for us, btw my name is Isaac” He said and then pat a kissed on my head before I feel him lay down also. I don’t know why but what he said gives me expectation, expectation that whatever happened, as long as I’m with him, I’m safe, secured and loved. Many questions still run in my mind before sleeping envelopes me.
