Married to the enemy's son

Chapter 4

Donovan's pov

I walked into the room and met Alyssia pacing around. She paused when she noticed my presence. She was obviously nervous. I deliberately had my eyes pinned on Alyssia who nervously faced the floor as I sat on the couch.

"Alyssia...... Sit" I called her tapping the space beside me gesturing to her to sit. She nervously walked towards me and sat.

"Alyssia....." I called as I took her hand into mine, startling her.

"I just want to remind you that you're my wife...... and I vowed that I'd protect you if you get married to me...." I began, surprising Alyssia more.

"I know whatever brought Jenner down here isn't good news ...... godfather's back.... I'm not telling you this to scare you or anything.... I just want you to know that I'd protect you" Alyssia kept moping, I knew for a fact that she was quite surprised. This was literally the first time ever since our marriage that we sat and had a conversation together.

"I really wanna hear your own side of the story..... I mean I wanna know how you got into godfather's hands, It might sound weird but I just have to know." I continued. I didn't expect more from Alyssia.... She just sat gobsmacked staring at me.

"I.... I... Don't know..... I mean...." She stuttered nervously.

"Take your time Alyssia. I know it isn't easy per say, but I really need to know." I encouraged her.

"It's actually not something I would tell you on my own free will, but it still isn't something that I should keep to myself so ..... I'd tell you" She finally spoke up.

"Alright then I'm all ears" I said, ready to hear her story.

"Well...... actually it was a sour experience. It all started two years ago when my parents sold me off to godfather Lucas " She heaved a sigh as she began her story.

*2 years back*

I mumurred grumpily as I completed my chores that bright Saturday morning. By the time I was done I was very much exhausted. I was about heading to my room when I heard the sound of the door bell. I grumbled and turned to answer the door. Just as I opened the door two hefty men in Black suits came into view.

"Good morning " I greeted with a smile trying to sound polite.

"How may I be of help?" I asked further when they kept staring mutely at me. "Where are you parents? ......go fetch them "One of them replied and I immediately turned to go call my parents. Just as I turned to go call them, mom and dad walked down the stairs like they overheard us.

"Oh.... Mom..... Dad... these gentlemen have come to see you..." I informed them as they drew closer.

"Good morning gentlemen in and have a seat" Dad said in a welcoming tone.

"Mr Lorenzo....... you should know we don't have the luxury of time to waste so I'd advise we go down to business immediately. " One of them replied

"Umm.....if it's business I think I should excuse you....." I said and turned to leave.

"Wait up Alyssia...... you'll be needed here" Mom called me back. Confusingly, I just stood watching them all.

"Is she the one?" One of them asked and dad responded with a nod. Now it was beginning to get crappy. I still couldn't comprehend what was going on.

"Ok then let's proceed..... the transfer has been made to you all you have to do is sign the papers to seal the deal." He said and brought out some papers from the suitcase he carried. He handed it over to them which they didn't hesitate to sign.

"Now that the deal is sealed we should get our commodity and get going " The other said. Commodity huh?

"Yes of course she's all yours" Mr Lorenzo replied smiling sheepishly. Now I was beginning to make little meaning out of what was happening. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't what I was thinking. My doubts were fully confirmed when two hefty men grabbed my arms and lifted me. Okay what was going on?

"What's going on? Why are you holding me? Where are you taking me to?" I asked confusingly.

When they weren't giving any answers, I looked at my parents.

"Mom...... dad what's going on?" I kept asking but then no one gave me the answers I demanded.

"Let go! Let go! I said let go!" I screamed this time around. But then these men weren't giving in. They kept pulling me.

"Mom, do something! Dad! Please don't let them take me away," I cried as my parents just stood watching with expressionless faces.

No, this couldn't be happening. My parents couldn't just stand and watch these men take me away. I kept wriggling and screaming in tears and fright as they kept dragging me away. I made my screams louder to jerk my parents out of whatever they were thinking, but yet again my doubts were confirmed. They didn't make any move. Yes, they didn't fight to get me back or try to stop these men from taking me, they just stood there watching them take me away.

"Nice doing business with you, Mr. Lorenzo," I heard the deadly looking man who had been standing quiet all these while say as he turned to leave with the men carrying me away.

This couldn't be happening. He just said business? It couldn't be what I was thinking was it? No.

"No!! Dad!! Mom! No! Please!! " I cried further as the door was shut on us. I continued screaming and struggling as these men carried me to the car. Being my stubborn kind of person I kept wriggling and hitting the men. I went ahead to hit the car windows.

"Boss, what should we do to her..." One of them asked when he couldn't deal with me again.

"Put her to sleep" He ordered and that was the last I heard followed by a painful pierce of syringe dug into my skin and I passed out.
