The Not So Safe House

    Anthony showed her to his room so she could rest, the maids were cleaning what would be her room. It was an adjoining room on two sides, she would share walls with Anthony and Carl. Mr. Maroni wanted Melissa to feel safe while she was in his home and surrounded her with people she could trust. She hadn’t met him yet but knew she owed Mr. Maroni her life. From the sounds of it, he was the man that Anthony went to for help and it seemed to be working since they rescued her. Once they were behind closed doors Anthony spoke. “Are you ok, are you hurt anywhere?” Melissa was exhausted and didn’t want to play twenty questions. “Anthony, I’m fine. I’m exhausted but fine. How did the meeting go, I can only assume it went well since he agreed to save me from the cabin.” Anthony was scanning Melissa for cuts and bruises. She was impatiently waiting for his response. “Anthony.” He was shook from his scanning. “Sorry I was making sure you weren’t bleeding or hurt anywhere.” Anthony began to explain how his meeting went. “Everything was going well, then I got the word that someone was moving in on the house and I would never get there in time. We aren’t as far from the cabin as you might think, just wanted to make sure they weren’t followed. Anyway Mr. Maroni said he would help, this one would be free but the other thing would cost us. He just isn’t sure yet. His son is coming in from out of state tonight to discuss it. I guess he’s getting ready to take over so he wants to be included.” Melissa yawned. Normally, Anthony would consider that rude but given the circumstances he let it go. “Sounds like were safe here for now, and you have everything under control. Since my room isn’t ready can I lay down in here?” Anthony was exhausted too. “Sure, mind if I crash with you? I’m exhausted myself.” The bed was massive so Melissa didn’t care. “Sure.” They both climbed onto the bed and soon fell asleep.

              There was a knock at the door that work Anthony and Melissa a few hours later. “Mr. Whitaker, Miss Young, your presents is requested in the dining room in thirty minutes.” Anthony answered and just lay there, Melissa had found her way to his side and was cuddled up to his chest. The warmth of her body made him hard, he tried to move back a little, but when he did she cuddled closer. He didn’t want to but he had to wake her. Anthony whispered “Melissa, time to wake up.” She opened one eye “I know I heard, I just don’t want to.” She was awake this entire time? Anthony was shocked and slightly irritated. She knew he had a b***r and kept getting closer! Is she teasing me he thought? Melissa was warm and didn’t want to get up she closed her eyes and snuggled even closer to Anthony, placing a hand on his hard chest. “Ten more minutes?” She whispered. This made Anthony chuckle. He took advantage of the situation and wrapped his arm around Melissa’s body and pulled her even closer. He thought she would pull away but was smitten when she didn’t.

              “Okay, this time we really need to get up, we have about five minutes and we shouldn’t keep him waiting,” Anthony began to roll away, Melissa let out a moan of displeasure, but it still made Anthony’s member twitch. Melissa rolled off the bed, fixed her hair and was ready to go. Anthony opened the door and lead Melissa down the hall, he placed his hand around her as they walked into the dining room. Melissa froze when she turned the corner and saw Paul standing next to a large man. “Melissa? Is that really you?” Paul called out with a sneaky smile on his face. Melissa thought of a thousand smart a** comments to say but saved those for another time since he was clearly the son that Mr. Maroni was waiting for. Melissa just smiled and nodded at Paul.  Anthony spoke up, “Mr. Maroni, this is Melissa Young, the young lady I was telling you about.” Mr. Maroni just stood there staring at Melissa for some time. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, I have heard a lot about you, from both my son and Mr. Whitaker.” Anthony looked at Melissa with a confused look. She whispered, “Paul is my EX.” Anthony looked at him harder and realized he was the douche from the pictures he was given. Paul spoke shaking Anthony from his thoughts. “Ex, now Melissa that hurts.” As Paul spoke he grabbed his chest and fell dramatically into the chair nearest him. “Paul” Mr. Maroni yelled startling Melissa. Paul immediately got up and straightened his suit. “Sorry father, Melissa hurt my feelings.” Anthony pulled Melissa tighter to his body. “Mr. Marconi, I know you are a busy man and Melissa and I would like to get back to our lives. If we could” Anthony was cut off by Mr. Marconi, “I want you all to leave except Melissa.” Melisa was frightened, Anthony furious, and Paul was unbothered. Melissa turned to see them leave and noticed Carl had come into the room. “Mr.  Maroni?” Melissa squeaked out. He didn’t answer so she spoke anyway. “Would it be alright if Carl stays, he’s been my bodyguard through this and I’d be more comfortable if he could stay? He won’t say a.” She was cut off when Mr. Maroni said “he can stay.” Anthony was applauding her in his head as the door was shut. He hated being kicked out but knew that with Carl in there she was safe. “Miss Young, I know you have suffered a great deal because of Vincent, but what is it that I can do for you?” Melissa wasn’t confused, she just wasn’t sure how to answer. When she didn’t answer right away Mr. Maroni became impatient. “Should I kill him, should I lock him up and torture him?” He shouted. Melissa jumped “Sir, I I don’t know, I just want him to stop hunting me, us. I care for Anthony and he’s gone through a great deal to help me escape Vincent. As have you and I am grateful for everything.” Mr. Maroni was seated in his chair, he motioned for Melissa to sit in the chair closest to him. “Vincent is a pain, but what do I get in return for helping you?” Melissa didn’t know what to say but knew now, she shouldn’t take long to respond to him. “I’m honesty not sure what I can do for you sir. I know you have your own law team so I doubt that will be helpful.” “My son won’t stop talking about you.” Melissa’s stomach churned. “He would give you anything to have another chance. I don’t much care if it works in the end, I want you to give him another chance.” Melissa could hardly breathe. “Mr. Maroni I am involved with Anthony, not to mention the awful things your son did to me when we were together. I left him for a reason. I would rather.” “So you would rather Vincent caught you, killed your lover and had his wicked way with you?” Melissa sighed “It wouldn’t be much different than being with you son.” She regretted what she said the second it came out. Mr. Maroni stood towering over Melissa “What’s that supposed to mean?” Melissa cowered to one side of the chair and answered. “He miss treated me similarly to how Vincent hurt me.” Melissa paused then said “But worse.” Tears fell from her and she cried uncontrollably. Mr. Maroni was furious, though not at Melissa, how could he be trusting the family to someone that would do the same as what he was attempting to stop. Mr. Maroni motioned to someone in the corner that she hadn’t seen. That man took his orders and went to the door. Anthony came back though the door and rushed to Melissa’s side. Noticing she was crying he pulled her even closer. She barred her head and sobbed. “Given the information that Miss Young just shared, I will be helping you, which will help us. I will call on a favor in the future from you both, rest assured Miss Young it will not involve my son. He will be dealt with appropriately. Dinner will be served in an hour, please rest, relax, look around, whatever you please. I will see you both a dinner.” With that Mr. Maroni left.

              Anthony and Melissa sat for a minute before leaving the house to explore the gardens. They walked into the court yard and began exploring the beautiful garden. Melissa slid her hand into Anthony’s, he was a little shocked but happy to hold her hand as they walked along. Melissa told Anthony what had happened between her and Mr. Maroni. Anthony wasn’t shocked since he had read the report that included stuff about her ex. But he had no idea that he r***d her too, in the process of trying to get her pregnant. “I’m guessing he felt guilty. I went back to get the report from the hospital, I was going to report everything this time. The hospital nurse said she didn’t know what I was talking about and there was no such paperwork.” Anthony couldn’t hide his shocked face. “So Paul called daddy to clean up his mess.” Anthony wanted them both dead. But that wouldn’t do anyone any good. Melissa and Anthony stopped at sat on a bench, Anthony placed his arm around Melissa and she leaned in and put her head on his shoulder. “I’m sorry you have been through so much and that I added to that. I will make it up to you.” Anthony whispered into Melissa’s ear. She didn’t want to cry anymore, so she looked up and smiled at Anthony. She could see the sincerity in his eyes and snuggled back to his chest.

              “Sir, Mr. Maroni is requesting to see you in his office.” Anthony turned to see Carl and one of Mr. Maroni’s guys. “Fine, stay with Melissa.” Carl whispered into Anthony’s ear. “Sir he’s requesting both of us, says Melissa will be safe with this guard.” Anthony didn’t like this, but he didn’t really have a choice. “Melissa, we will be right back, this guard will stay with you.” “Can’t I just come inside with you?” Before Anthony could respond the guard came closer and said. “You’re to wait here.” Anthony kissed her forehead and began walking to the house. Melissa watched them walk away, she then turned and faced away from the house. She was deep in thought when she heard a stick snap behind her. She quickly turned to see Paul a few feet from her. She looked to see the guard looking at the house. “Guard, I don’t want him this close to me.” No response came. “Guard” Melissa shouted, meanwhile Paul just smiled. “He works for me precious.” 

Melissa got up and took several step backwards. “What do you want Paul?” Paul smirked as he took a few steps closer, “you of course, and I will get what I want.” Melissa could see an evil in his eye’s that she had seen once before. “Paul, I’ll scream and Carl and Anthony will come for you.” He laughed in her face. “That’s what Bruce is for, he won’t let them get close.” “Boss you’ve got about five minutes before they come back.” Paul launched forward hearing he had so little time, he grabbed Melissa by the arm and began dragging her down the small hill away from the house. Melissa shouted and screamed, Paul who was much taller, pulled her closer to him and grabbed her face with one hand and squeezed tight. “Shut this w***e mouth of yours.” Paul kept dragging Melissa further and further down the hill, she kept pretending to trip to buy some time. But the last time she tripped Paul pushed her onto her back and climbed on top of her. “You remember this position don’t you baby?” Melissa tried to get up, she wiggled around but was getting nowhere. “Keep moving, you’re getting me harder and ready for you, I know you’re wet and love this game. You’ve been away long enough and it’s time to come home to daddy.” Paul leaned over and ripped Melissa’s shirt right down the center. Melissa covered herself with one arm and kept swinging at Paul with the other. “Get off of me you pig, Anthony will ki** you when he finds out what you’ve done.” Hearing her lover’s name, Paul slapped her across the face, the blow made Melissa pass out for a moment. Paul took the opportunity to unzip the front of Melissa’s sports bra. This exposed her massive breasts, he had been missing. He took one in his hand and squeezed, the pain woke Melissa just as Paul was lowering his mouth to suck on her ni**ple. Melissa screamed and hit Paul as hard as she could. Melissa struck the right spot, right against his ear. This made him grab one side of his head, giving Melissa time to sit up a little and punch him in the gut. Paul fell off Melissa but before she could get to her feet, he reached out and tripped her. Melissa fell hard on her belly. He grabbed the bottom of her jogging pants and yanked them until they were down to her ankles. Paul also missed the sight that was in front of him, Melissa’s nearly naked body turned him on and he was tired of fooling around he wanted her and it was time.    

              He held Melissa’s ankles and instructed her to turn over, when she didn’t comply and told him to fu** off he smacked her hard on the a**. “Be a good girl and turn over Melissa. You don’t want to do things the hard way, do you?” When she didn’t comply he smacked her again. “Have it your way.” Paul went to rip her panties off when he felt a blow to the back of the head and fell off of Melissa. He turned to see Carl pointing a gun to his face. Anthony ran to Melissa, slipped his jacket off and covered her. Anthony helped Melissa get up and get her pants on. In the distance Melissa could see Mr. Maroni coming down the hill, he was terrifying to look at. Melissa was so frightened she buried her face in Anthony’s chest. Mr. Maroni boomed at Anthony “Get her to the house a doctor will be in to look at her shortly.” Anthony didn’t skip a beat, he picked Melissa up and held her tight while walking to the house.
