Mafia’s Broken Love

Chapter 5

Most high schools mean girl movies usually start with how the mean girl had been through a traumatic past, hence the reason why their such a b***h. Sadly, my story begins like that, except I'm not the b***h; I'm the girl getting bullied.

It wasn't always like that. I used to be a very brave, cheerful, and outspoken girl, I wasn't scared of anything or anyone. I was just a normal middle-schooler with two loving married parents.

When I started 7th grade my parents got a divorce out of nowhere. With no type of explanation to me why they made that decision. I was devastated course but my parents were always with me and making sure that I was getting all the love that a child needed from both parents. Everything was fine, I accepted the fact that my parents divorced each other and weren't living together anymore.

Now I had two bedrooms and two houses. I spend the school year in my dad's house and on my breaks I would go stay with my mom.

Everything was going fine until I met that guy in the diner, no matter how I look at it, I can't help but think that everything has changed because of him. I know it's wrong to just assume it but the feeling is just too strong for me to put it down.

Two weeks after making eye contact with him I started having the feeling that I was being watched, it had gotten so bad that I became afraid to go out.

I had a deep father and daughter bond with my dad, he was the only person who I always feel more protected and lived by, so I would start begging him to let me sleep in his room with him because I wasn't able to take the scary eyes on me anymore. He took care of me and I was feeling less paranoid at night but all that stopped when he just disappeared out of nowhere one morning.

My father went missing and I had no idea what to do, I fell into a deep depression, I cried every day, I didn't want to eat, or even get out of bed.

I was sent to live with my mom and I had to transfer to a new school. It was while living with my mother on the second day that I realized that my mom was a drug addict, I had also discovered that is my dad divorced her because she was refusing to stop doing drugs and she had started putting her hands on my dad.

I know my dad loves her but he couldn't watch her killing herself like that, so he told her to choose, either go to rehab and get held quitting and she can be with him or they divorce and she can go do whatever she wanted.

I don't know if my mom had hidden it well or if I was just too blind, but I never would have thought she was abusing drugs.

Another week later the abuse had started, now I was the bad guy in her story. She was abusing me, physically and verbally.

Around 17 I couldn't take it anymore, it was too much, so I went and lived with Jade. She and her family welcomed me into their home, I felt like one of them. I finished high school and started college, all because of them. I will eternally be grateful to them.

Jade and Melissa were the only true people I knew who love me. They were stuck by my side like glue. They comforted me and gave me a shoulder to cry on. Even though Michael had done me wrong, he and josh had always been here for me. They treated me like their very own sister.

Their love is what kept me alive, now that they're not here with me, I have to be a strong woman and get out of here at any chance I get. That's why I'm planning to leave tonight.

Alexander called Mary around 6 o'clock so he can talk to me on the phone. There he informed me that he wouldn't be able to make it back in time for dinner and that I can eat and go to the garden if I wanted to. I immediately told him yes.

Mary took me downstairs for dinner and then she left me to eat alone. Of course, I didn't just sit there and eat while no one was watching me. So I took that chance and started looking for a back door. Maybe there will be fewer guards on that side of the house.

As I was tiptoeing around the big kitchen, I heard footsteps coming. I quickly got down and hide behind the kitchen counter.

"Have you seen Mr. Bernardi's girlfriend yet?" I stiffen in my place wondering who they were talking about.

"Not yet, I haven't gotten the chance to be around them much. I've been on laundry duty."

"She is very beautiful. Maybe if you want we can talk to Mary and she might let us switch duties tomorrow"

"You would do that? Thank you."

"Yeah, no problem. But I must say Ms. Angelina is one lucky woman." Well, I guess they were talking about me after all.

"It seems like Mr. Bernardi has big plans for their future"

"Now I have to see what she looks like"

"She is stricken, I can see why he wants her here. Soon this mansion might be full of little masters running around" they both started laughing at that statement.

What the hell is wrong with those ladies, do they not know I'm being held against my will? I was kidnapped yesterday.

"Has any of you ladies seen the Madam?" I heard Mary's voice saying.

"No, we haven't, we didn't even know she was here"

"Oh my god this isn't good"

"I'll go check to see if she's upstairs Mary, it's a big mansion maybe she'd wander off somewhere" I heard one of the girls running out of the kitchen. Shoot, I have to find a way out before they realize I'm gone.

"Yes, you go so that, and I'm gonna call the security camera team, if Mr. Bernardi find out she’s missing we’re all going to be in big trouble. Emma please throw away that garbage bag. " Bingo, I'll just follow that Emma girl outside, and then I'm outta here.

"Yeah no problem"

I heard another footstep walking out. I slowly peeked my head out from behind the counter and saw Emma grabbing a trash bag from the floor and pulling out a key from her pocket. I guess we need a key to go throughout there. She pushed the key in and opened the door.

She was about to walk out when she said "oh I forgot the other garbage."

I quickly ducked my head back down as she turned around and put the bag on the floor. I stayed put until I heard her footsteps leaving the kitchen. I slowly looked up and saw the door wide open. f**k I should make a run for it.

I quickly got up and ran towards the door, when I got outside I looked both ways and saw no one visible. Thank god! Luck must be on my side today, this is what happens when you remain calm and be patient.

The only problem was that there was another gate far from here, I should take the key just in case I need to use it. I grabbed the key from the door and shut it close before started running.

Yeah so maybe the way I carried the plan wasn't too smart but it's okay. I've been running for 5 whole minutes and I still haven't made it to the gate yet. This property was is so big. I mean I should've known it wasn't gonna be small from the garden that he brought me to this morning. The garden itself was about 15 acres or more.

Now I'm getting really scared, what if I don't find the highway and there's nobody around to help me. I need to relax and stay positive. I can do this.

I ran and ran and f*****g ran until my feet were burning with every single step that I made, and I was practically wheezing like an asthmatic person. I prayed to the lord when I finally made it over to the gate. I pulled the keys out and started inserting different keys, the adrenaline started rushing through my body which caused me to be a little too excited, my heart was already hammering in my chest and I was breathing so hard that my hands were trembling.

"Come on, come on" I inserted another key and it was wrong. Fuck

"Please" I begged as I inserted another one. Finally, I felt the key turning and the gate started opening on its own.

Yayyy

I did a little happy dance in my head and didn't waste another second as I dropped the keys and started running once again with my newfound energy. Oh god, there are trees everywhere.

I'm gonna run further into the forest and then I'll come out and walk on the highway, there's no way I'm going to risk being seen.

...

I feel like I've been running for about half an hour now. I couldn't push my feet to run anymore, so now I was left limping as I look for the highway.

And God truly had been on my side because as soon as I made it out of the forest I saw a black car parked on the highway.

I started limping towards it and praying that the person I'm about to encounter is generous enough to at least let me use their phones.

"Hello," I said because when I got to the car the windows were tinted black. I couldn't see a thing inside. I stare back at my reflection and continued knocking on the passengers side window "Is anyone in there?"

"Look I'm sorry to disturb you but I need help, do you have a cell that I can use?" Damn it! why was this person being so rude?

I was so focused on trying to see past the tinted window that I didn't notice the huge figure that walked behind me until a rough hand was wrapped around my neck and I collided harshly onto someone's chiseled chest.

"Wha-!" I was cut off as the person tightened their grip on my neck cutting off my oxygen supply immediately. I couldn't breathe! I put my hand up and tried to claw on the hand to let me go but he just kept tightening the hold.

Oh no please! Tears started streaming down my cheeks and onto his hands as I felt lightheaded. My face felt hot and heavy as the person's grip on my throat kept tightening.

Not soon after I saw black dotes dancing in front of my eyes and I started gargling trying to beg him to not kill me.

Right when I felt myself slipping into the deep sleep that I'm afraid of. I felt the hand loosen and I fell on the floor coughing and wheezing as I took in greedy breaths to feed my lungs with the oxygen it was deprived of. I brought my hand up and lightly touched my throat area and winced from the pain.

With blurry teary eyes I looked up to see who the culprit was, and even though I couldn't see properly due to my teary eyes I was able to make out his piercing dark blue eyes that was glaring down at me on the floor. I tried to scream but no sound was coming from my mouth.

Silent tears cascade down my face as I pushed my feet back and trying to crawl backwards to get away from him.

My whole body started trembling when I saw his figure moving and started coming towards me. I wanted to shout and scream, anything to make him stop but no sound was coming from my mouth.

"Did I not tell you to f*****g wait for me at home!" His voice roared in my ears and the only thing I could do was nod my head yes as I once again tried to pull myself backward.

I wasn't prepared for when the sole of his shoe connected flatly on my face. Sending my head to bang harshly onto the floor.

I tried to scream again but no sound except for a weird hoarse crack that made my throat burn in pain escape from my mouth.

"My warning wasn't enough for you, right? I guess I have to f*****g show you what happens when you f*****g disobey me" he growled calmly as he stare into my widened eyes.

I shook my head no from side to side as tears endlessly falls down my cheeks.

He ignored me and grabbed my leg. What is he doing!!! I stared in disbelief at him as he put one of his hand under my feet and another on my calf. He wouldn't!!

My heart thunders in my chest as I stare into his eyes screaming in my head for him to stop, he gazes into my eyes and a small smile made its way onto his lips as he twist my foot into a weird angle.

I wasn't able to scream but I couldn't help the weird noise that came out of my throat from the excruciating pain that shoot up my leg from having it snapped right in front of my eyes.

I stared at it feeling a heat wave rushing through my body from the pain. I look up from my foot and met his gaze again. The look in his eyes promised me, it promised me that he had dark, sick, twisted things in store for me.

My eyes trailed to his lips that calmly said "try and f**k with me again"

I tried to open my mouth to say something but I was frozen as I stare into his eyes that were laced with malice. I felt my eyes rolling back and was pulled into the darkness.
