Episode five.
I relaxed my mind to just accept life the way it comes to me, I rested my head on the pillow and I guessed I must have dozed off.
"You brat!" A dirty hot slap landed on my cheeks, jotting me up and I sat up, holding my cheeks as hot tears streamed down my eyes.
I opened my eyes and the irrigating glare of angry Madam Claudia welcomed me.
"What is wrong with you? You had already made the Don angry and you even got the nerves to sleep! I told you, you have to make it up to the Don tonight but you slept off like a plug." She yelled.
I wiped my tears and pressed my lips together.
"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't realize I slept off."
I muttered, sniffing.
"Yeah, how would you realize? Do you think you are still in your home? This is the Don and you are to serve him! You are his mistress! You should know better than to expect any level of comfort. Your life duty is to serve him and make him happy." She fired, her saliva escaped from her mouth and landed on my face.
"I'm sorry," I said again.
She grabbed my hair, making me groan in pain.
"Listen to me carefully, young lady. Because of you, I won't be tolerating the Don reducing my income. I have been doing this for a long and it won't be new to you. You either cooperate or you will lose your life."
She warned, I quickly nodded my head, only wishing for her to let my hair go.
She finally did and I landed on the bed, burying my face in the mattress, and cried.
"Girls!" Madam Claudia called and a pretty good-looking Lady walked in, together with two other girls.
"Alisa, take care of this beauty." She ordered and stormed out of the room after glaring at me angrily.
"Hey," Alisa said with a warm smile and softly held my face up.
"I'm sorry you have to go through that with Madam Claudia." She added and wiped my eyes gently.
"She was right...it's all my fault." I sniffed and stared at the girl.
"I know this is not the life you wanted or deserve. You are so Pretty, so amazing, and you seem to have a bright future ahead." Alisa muttered and I laughed. Not that I found her words funny, but you know, sometimes we laugh because the words said were painful.
"A bright future? Let's be honest, Alisa. There is no brighter future for me, long as I am in this place. My life sucks, I hate it, here. Guns, power, drugs, women! That's the only language here." I exclaimed as tears escaped from my eyes.
"We all do, Bella. We all were brought here one way or the other. Like me, I was brought here because my father gambled me and the Don took me as his w***e, not even a mistress. So I think you are above us all since he chose you as his mistress. All the girls you see here have one story or the other. Each one is more painful than the other one. We had cried, and tried to escape until we lost hope and decided to see life differently and be happy about it." Alisa muttered forcing a smile.
"Madam Claudia had informed me what happened in the morning with you and the Don, and I must say, you carry a luck charm for him to give you a second chance. That's not normally in his dictionary. You mess up, you die." She added and fear ran through me.
"It was a mistake," I mumbled, staring at her.
She took a comb and started brushing my hair.
"Unfortunately, Don Lorenzo doesn't accept a mistake. We had watched him kill many girls, sometimes burnt them to ashes because they made him angry or failed to satisfy him, that's why I'm advising you, you still have a chance that Don Lorenzo might free you as he always does that with his mistress whenever he gets tired of you. And he is not just letting you go like that but with a fortune. So please take it easy and obey him and wait for the day you will be freed."
Alisa muttered and I felt a glimmer of hope.
Maybe one day I will get away from this miserable life and maybe who knows, have a bright future just like Alisa had said earlier.
She applied light makeup on my face while I stared at myself in the mirror, but instead of seeing myself, I saw a different Bella staring back at me. From being a passionate, hardworking lady to a mistress. Funny, right?
"All done, now, go in a wear this. The Don is back, we won't want to keep him waiting for long." Alisa said and I accepted the dress.
I walked inside the dressing room and dressed up.
The gown was skimpy and had barely even reached my lap.
My feet slammed on the wooden floor noticing Alisa and the girls of my arrival.
"Oh my God! You looked so gorgeous." She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Thanks, Alisa." I forced a smile, trying to pull the dress down as I felt almost naked in it.
"You are welcome. In case you make it out of Don's room alive, my room is two steps ahead of yours, you can join me and we will have some fun together." She said and I nodded and waved her bye as I made myself out of the room.
My heartbeat increased with every step I took closer to Don's room.
The route to his room was still in my head like it was pasted there.
My mind raced as I approached the time, taking a deep breath, telling myself that everything would be fine even though I was not sure it would be.
I was a step closer to Don's door when a figure appeared and blocked my path.
"Searching for my d**?" Ricardo appeared wearing the stupidest grin while his eyes scanned through me, licking his lips lustfully.
