Shadow's Of Redemption

Dead luck

I went in search of Don, the hallway was quiet and empty. I heard soft mourns emanating from the study to my left just down the hall. I tiptoed to the scene, hoping it was one of the guards. So I could report him to Don Pedro.

I couldn't believe the sight before me. Don Pedro was pants down in the study with Diane circling her legs around his waist as he grabbed her naked bum.

“What the f**k!” I screamed, I felt my chest tighten as deep anger coursed through my body.

‘What was the use of this marriage after all’ I muttered to myself.

“What are you doing here?” Don Pedro commanded with a growl. His voice was laced with venom. I could see the rage in his eyes.

I felt my entire world crumble before me.

Hot tears streamed down my face. I couldn't speak anymore, as I felt a lump in my throat.

“Well, don't just stand there. Be gone.”

Diane barked at me, her words slicing through me. I was used and humiliated.

Indeed, Don Pedro was a monster.

“Why did you marry me? If you knew from the beginning, that you weren't going to love me as your lawfully wedded wife.” I spoke up in my defense.

“Marriage? Love?. A mafia boss never loves.” Don Pedro replied with a smirk on his face.

A wave of mixed emotions washed over me.

“I never married you out of love, you're simply a commodity, A collateral to a failed transaction. You should be lucky, because of you, Alex is still alive,” he added, dismissing my emotional tantrum.

I stood there defiantly, prepared for the worst that was to come.

“I said leave!” He pushed me to the cold floor as my body was bruised against the cold floor. My tears flowed freely like the Niagara Falls.

“I came to tell you that, I'm pregnant with your seed.”

“What nonsense!” Don Pedro bellowed.

“I. I wanted to say,” Before I could finish my sentence he stopped me.

“Guards!” take her out of her and lock her in her room.

Immediately he spoke those words. I was bundled away like a bag of wheat to my room. His abusive nature was one I couldn't deal with. Looking at myself in the mirror, I knew I had changed visibly. My glowing skin had become dull, it cracked and had all sorts of lines on it. My face is badly bruised from the constant molestation I receive from Him. He was a psychopath.

I laid on my bed, with his men standing at the door. I cried bitterly, my chest clenched tightly,my lungs tightened badly. Father was the reason for my suffering. But there was no time to play the blame game. I needed to escape this Hell hole and I needed to act fast.

The door creaked open.

“Who do you think you are to walk around freely in my mansion?” Don Pedro said, sitting beside the bed. The bed which was meant for a happy matrimony, only reminded me of the countless times I was molested by this beast.

“I am sorry,” I said without raising my head to meet his gaze.

“Your father and I made a deal, remember. ? You'll remain my plaything until he's able to repay me all that he owes, or else I'll sell him off to the black market and as for you,” he paused, as he looked at me.

I could feel his gaze boring straight into my soul.

“I will make sure, you end up as my whores in one of my brothels, pleasing my men for all eternity,”

“You've done, worst things to me already, Pedro.” I flared up. “ You might as well kill me. right this moment,” Tired and angry at the pain I was going through all because of my dad. My stomach burned from the inside out with pains of regrets and sorrows. What if I didn't come home that fateful day?. What would have been my fate?.

He raced towards me, grabbing me from the waist as he flung me across the room.

My head, bruised against the floor from the impact. I felt blood trickling down my head. Was he going to kill me?. A shiver ran down my spine. I tried to fight back in defense, but he was too big. He subdued me which made me pass out.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room, everyone in the room, wore a white apparel. I thought I had died and was in heaven.

“Where… wh… where am I?” I inquired.

“You're in the hospital.” a male voice said.

I tried getting up but he restrained me with his gentle touch.

“You don't feel too well Mrs Pedro.” his eyes were gray, his blonde hair cascading down his shoulders..

“Which of the hospital, please,” I asked him, still feeling weak and unsure of my present location.

“ This hospital belongs to Don Pedro’s family,” he said.

My eyes widened in surprise, which he could obviously see.

“okay.” Thanks for the information.

“You’re welcome madam. Rest now while I attend to other patients. I'll be back in a few hours to check up on you. Okay,” the doctor said, looking into my dilated pupil. “I'll need to run more tests on you, but that will be later,” he added.

As soon as he left, I thought of a ..

Luck was on my side, as the hospital was far from the mansion and most importantly, Don Pedro's men were standing in the front door.

I made a run for the backdoor, without being noticed. I scaled the back fence. Racing through the streets, Finally I was free from that monster. I just needed to get somewhere safe before I could hatch a proper revenge plan.

I crossed the road without looking both ways, my heart pounding fast. I was almost safe across the road when a pair of strong arms pulled me away from an oncoming vehicle
