The Mafia Don's Pet

Chapter 8

Maya POV

My head still hurts, reminding me of last night with that bastard. If only Rosella wasn't captured, I would have escaped.

That monster.

I regretted every damn thing I said, yet I had no choice. Rosalie was at his mercy. Even if he doesn't kill her, it was certain he would torture her ruthlessly.

That was how I had begun to envision the monster my father got involved with. Although I grew up alongside a ruthless Mafia lord, this monster was on a new whole level.

He was a monstrous cold-blooded bastard!

As much as I wanted him dead, I had no choice but to act like a puppet for now. That's because his spies were everywhere.

“ Papa, where are you?" I muttered, biting my lips.

As I lamented, a knock on my door brought me back to reality. They didn't wait for my answer before pushing the door.

“ Miss Maya, Lord Andre wants you to be properly presentable," One of them said. She was dressed like the housekeeper.

“ Rude as your master!" I spat out, making sure to pour out my hatred in every single word.

“ Come in!" The woman said again, clapping her hands.

None of them spoke, instead the maids swarmed into my room. Then the first woman bowed slightly to me before signaling three maids.

“ Give the lady a good scrub. Then three of you get her dress and accessories…”

I was lost for words at the woman's command, only for a second or two. That's when it dawn on me that these maids were about to f*****g bath me! I felt uncomfortable, instantly. What the f**k are they trying to do?

“Please ladies, can you excuse me? I can definitely get washed and dressed myself,” I vehemently refused.

“Please ma’am, we can’t disobey our bosses orders” They said in unison and I sighed tired as I got down from my bed, walking into the bathroom with them.

It was better I remain the obedient puppet, for Rosella's sake. The scene from yesterday was still fresh in my head. Although she was already in the hospital receiving treatment, I didn’t want anything to jeopardize that.

After I was done bathing and putting on a dress, I came out of the bathroom to see the maids had carefully arranged my breakfast on the table.

I sighed, determined to starve myself. I don't even have the appetite to eat anything. I mean who would?

“You can leave, please. When I’m done I’ll inform you guys,” I said, but they shifted momentarily.

I raised my head to look at them but they avoided my gaze, as if I was a plague or something.

“ Are you deaf? Or are you guys acting dumb?” I said, trying hard not to explode.

I was trying desperately to maintain my puppet image but these people are f*****g with me. Fortunately for them, they weren't in my father's house

“We can only leave when you’re done eating,” another said and I swallowed hard.

“Well I’m not hungry, ladies. Take the food and leave,” I said, forcing out a fake smile on my face.

However, it was all in vain. “The boss insisted you eat before going out with him. We are here to make sure you do just that.”

I breathed in heavily as I swallowed all of his insults. This was the first time in my life that I’ve never had a say in anything. I can’t even decide when to eat or not, even when to take my bath.

“What the f**k! Did he bring me here to humiliate me?” I burst out.

Just then one of them brought out a phone and on the screen was Rosella in chains. A guard was holding a whip which landed on Rosella as she screamed.

“ Stop, please!" I screamed, biting hard on my lips. The video got me shaking furiously. Yet, I held back my temper.

“ f**k you, Andre!" I screamed at the phone.

Then a hoarse mocking voice replied from the other end, “ That could be arranged too. Gladly."

My face burned red from undiluted anger and embarrassment. I thought it was just a recorded video?

“ Pervert!"

But the girl has already taken the phone away. I dragged my feet to the table. I hesitantly sat down, took a spoonful of food and I chewed slowly. Even though the food was delicious, I had no appetite.

It was simply tasteless in my mouth.

“I’m done,” I said hurriedly as I stood up the chair, and before the maids could say a word, I was already outside the door, waiting for them to come out.

I watched as they hurried towards me, but I slowly halted.

“Don’t you think you aren’t doing your job properly?” I asked, a smirk dancing on my lips.

They immediately rushed to the front as they led the way.

“ Take me to your boss!”

I was trying hard to control my emotions. Even f*****g minute wasted was a threat to my Rosella. I can't afford to offend that monster for now, until I get a tangible leverage against him.

Soon we were standing in front of a door.

“Go in, the boss is inside. We will take our leave now,” they said, as they quickly walked away.

I could see they were scared, even more than I am. How monstrous was this bastard?

Letting out another sigh, I took slow paces until I was a step inside the room. And then my eyes caught those eyes. Haunting, yet tempting.

I was back with this monster.

As I stood outside of his door, I continued clenching my fist. Taking one deep breath after another, I managed to control my emotions.

“Are you going to come in? Or do you need help?” I heard his voice from inside.

I shut my eyes briefly before slowly walking in with my head faced down. I heard him chuckle lightly. I guess he was happy with how timid he had made me become.

I scoffed, hating those eyes roaming on my body.

“Oh Maya, are you really going out with me wearing that?” he asked, as if in mockery.

I slowly opened my eyes and I looked down on the jeans trousers and the leather jacket I wore.

“Obviously,” I wanted to say, but I was quick to swallow my words immediately.

“No, no, no, you can’t wear that,” he said and my face twisted in anger.

I raised my head to look at him and probably threw a curse or two, yet I swallowed hard.

I was starstruck.

“The f**k! how can someone so evil be this handsome?” I screamed in my head as I saw his face.

I couldn’t help but admire him, and in between my legs twitched as I struggled to look away. Just like how I was mesmerized yesterday.

“ Control your freaking self, Maya!" I scolded myself.

However, my reverie was shattered when something soft landed squarely on my face. I blinked rapidly as I took the soft fabric off my face to see what it was.

It was a very revealing red dress.

“Put the dress on,” he said, grabbing a cigarette on the tray.

I stared around, wondering if he was talking to me. We were the only ones in the room, so he was definitely talking to me.

He wasn't just a monster, but also a perverted pervert.

“Please can I just go like this?” I asked politely. I didn’t like wearing short or revealing clothes, I hated how it clasped to my body.

“Put it on Maya,” he stated, his voice not leaving any room for argument.

I sighed in anger.

I watched as he turned backwards, giving me privacy to change. I rolled my eyes at his hypocrisy. He almost killed someone last night and he felt no sympathy about it, yet he’s acting like a gentleman?

How pretentious!

After a few seconds, he turned to face me, and I could swear I saw his eyes widened as soon as he saw me. He was quick to mask his expression with a stern face.

“He might be a monster, but he’s also a man with a d**k,” I said subconsciously with an eye roll.

I thought we were about to leave when he brought out the same paper he gave to me the first time I came here.

“Sign the papers,” he ordered.

“Here we go again!” I yelled, my anger slowly exceeding its limit.
