Escaping my Mafia Lord.

Maria's Plots.

Cassandra's POV It's a cool afternoon, Antonio is out for business and, just like every other day, the house is calm with the maids busy and guards positioned in their post. I'm seated by the window in my room with my arms wrapped around my legs. One moment, I'm reading one of my favorite novels “The Storm” because I don't own a smartphone. Next minute, my mind is longing for my boys. I miss them so much, I want to have them next to me playing around, but Antonio won't let me see my boys. My thoughts were disturbed by a light knock on my door, and I was met with Maria's gaze on me once again. For some reason, I've never been comfortable with Maria around. When I first met Maria she was very rude, like her brother. She has always been the arrogant type, but lately she's been a little more kind to me and, being in the mafia family, I can feel she's up to no good. “Aren't you going to let me in?” she said softly with a smile. I made a few steps backwards, letting her in as my eyes darted towards the shopping bags she was carrying. “I thought of getting you a few things while I was shopping today, come check them out” she blunted out almost immediately as if she had just read my mind. “Ohh! Thanks so much.” I said surprised, my voice barely audible as I caught up with her, taking the bags from her and scanning through them with my eyes. I've never been given a gift in my life, not even my husband, Antonio. So a part of me felt joyous to be gifted. Dipping my hand into the bag, my hand was met with some wear which includes a red Lingerie, a lingerie? Why would Maria get me this? Am I going to wear it for her brother or what? She has never liked me for her brother. She always sends me to the grave and back whenever her brother is with me, she only follows his orders. Maybe her brother sent her to get me this. “You can try the Lingerie on, I want to know how perfectly it fits you” she uttered, sending me into another wave of thoughts as I stared blankly at her. “It's just the both of us, besides I just did a guess work on your size, so please try them on” she said as I considered and unknotted my tied wrap gown letting it fall to the bare floor. I was left with just my underwear when she ordered me to stop. There she was, the arrogant, fierce Maria just like her brother. She stepped forward, keeping her gaze on my body as she stretched out her hands to grab my tit. “What's wrong?” I inquired with fear, stepping backwards until my back collided with the cold wall. “Nothing Cassie, I just love what I am seeing” she answered with a soft voice, it's as if I am getting two sides of her today; one moment she's soft, next she's arrogant. “What do you mean by that?” I asked, trying to break free from her grip as she kept caressing my body with her other free hand. “Cassie, I've been longing to have you all to myself and now my desire is coming true. I love you Cassie, do you have to be my brother's wife, huh?" she said heistily as she smashed her lips on mine, breathing heavily and grabbing my behind. I,'ve always seen the way Maria looks at me, but I brushed such thoughts off my mind because I was her brother's wife, and she wouldn't do anything to anger her brother, but this revelation from her confirms all my suspicions. “I have to stop this before this gets out of hand,,” I said to myself snapping back to reality. “Stop it Maria” I tried saying in-between the kiss, but she didn't budge. “Stop it!” I repeated and bit her lips this time, but I earned myself a slap from her as she winced in pain, stepping backwards and holding to her slightly bleeding lower lip. “b***h!” she cursed, still holding on to her lips while I stood there still on my underwear as thoughts of what almost went down flooded in, I've been through been through worst but was the height of it, if only my parents did things right,if only they weren't owing Antonio my life wouldn't have been this miserable,if only I succeeded in escaping the previous night, maybe just maybe I would have been in a better state now. I thought as tears flowed freely down my cheeks. “You think this is over. Oh no baby girl this is just the beginning, it's a nice afternoon and there's no one home I've sent everyone out just to have this day with you and Antonio is out, for business and will only be back at dawn, isn't that a pretty plan?” Maria said once again giggling evilly as she came for me yanking me off my spot from my hand. I knew I was doomed at that very moment, Maria is much older than I am and much stronger. Fighting her with the little strength I had isn't a promising win for me plus there’ll be no one to hear me when I scream for help. More tears blurred my sight as I was now on my bed with Maria on top of me. I can't let this happen. The sight of Maria and what was about to go down disgust me, I would struggle to break free even if it's the last thing I'll do. I said as a new wave of strength overwhelmed me. “Save your strength for the fun baby girl, no one would hear you” Maria said as I ignored her and kept screaming for help and struggling with her. My eyes landed on the lamp on the bedside as I stretched to it, getting a grip of it and landed it on Maria's head while I picked up my dress and raced to the door, struggling to open it after what seemed like forever I was met with a figure.
