Episode four.
"Your… your son?” I shuttered, wait…now I noticed the striking resemblance, and I'm so convinced that God took a hundred days to create the perfect family.
This man standing in front of me was the father to…oh my God! Okay, nothing is making sense to me right now.
Don Lorenzo's facial expressions remain calm, but his eyes are deemed in a dangerous shape, causing a cold shiver inside me.
"Oh, care to explain now? Pretty doll?" He questioned, taking a step closer to me, but I moved back, gently until my back leaned against the wall.
"I hate lies! Pretty doll! What were you doing in my Son's room!" He asked, this time, his voice a bit loud, puffing the remaining cigarettes on my face, almost causing me to lose my breath.
“I…I…" All the attempts to force the words from my mouth turned void as I didn't even know what to say or how to defend myself.
My heart was beating faster.
“Father!” A thick voice called from behind, and Don Lorenzo moved back from me. I could finally catch my breath.
He turned, giving me a clear view of the voice that called him, it was…the rude guy I mistakenly slept with, who happened to be his son miraculously.
Great right? My life is such a mess.
"The drugs had just arrived from Italy and…"
He paused when he saw me.
"You?" He muttered, pointing his finger at me.
That's it, I'm so doomed.
Don stared at me as he lit off his cigarettes.
"You know her?" Lorenzo asked, firmly keeping his gaze on me which was so uncomfortable and scary.
His deep blue eyes staring right into mine makes me feel like I am to pass out.
The son…I don't know his name yet, had a wide grin on his face.
"I saw her coming out of your room in the morning, and the pretty face lied to me that she was drunk. Right, honey?" Don Lorenzo asked and I widened my eyes.
"Oh, really?" The Son smirked and nodded his head.
"Yeah, she was in my room, but she was drunk, yeah, and…she was looking for your room, so I gave her a direction, nothing more." The Son exclaimed, and I exhaled a deep breath I had been holding since.
I don't know how Lorenzo would react if he found out that his supposed mistress had already slept with his son. He might just have my head cut off, God forbid.
"Great." Don Lorenzo said and took his phone and called a number, while the son focused his eyes on me.
"In my room, right now," Lorenzo ordered and dropped the phone.
The door opened in less than a minute after a soft knock and Madam Claudia walked in.
"Greetings, Don." She greeted.
"I thought I had made it clear to you how I want her to be!" Don Lorenzo shouted, his voice so loud.
"I'm sorry, Don. She is just so stubborn, but I promise I will make her know how she is supposed to be." Madam Claudia replied, before grabbing my hands painfully in between gritted teeth.
"Apologize, right now!" She shouted and pushed me to the ground, and I fell, hitting my hand which gave me a scratch, I winched painfully.
"Let her be! Claudia!" The son exclaimed and she moved back.
"Father, we have to take care of the goods before the enemy clan gets the information of their arrival." He muttered coldly.
"Take her away and make sure she is ready to attend to me at night." Don Lorenzo ordered, and I just feel like the Son saved me indirectly.
"Get up, brat!" Madam Claudia said and pulled me up, then roughly dragged me out to the door, I turned and glanced at the Son, but he didn't even look at me, with one last look at the Don, Claudia pushed the exit door open, and we exit the room which gave me a chance to take a deep breath.

Madam Claudia took me to the room given to me by her earlier and pushed me to the bed.
"I'm sorry," I said, looking at how angry she was.
"You should be grateful Ricardo saved you, what have you ever done to Don Lorenzo!"
Madam Claudia yelled, I managed to maintain my steeze and crawled up.
Oh, so Ricardo is his name, great.
"He was just angry," I muttered, not knowing what to say exactly. Telling her I mistakenly slept with the Son of the Don, Ricardo will not make anything less complicated, she might just tell Lorenzo and he will kill me.
"Let me make this clear to you, Don Lorenzo is your lord and you must obey him. He is merciless, forget the calmness in his voice, and he can be very dangerous. You are his toy, and you have to act like one! Avoid anything that will make him angry and only do as he said if you want to live long." Madam Claudia shouted, her saliva escaping and landing on my face…
Puff, life is really not fair, first, I was betrayed by the man I loved, then my stepmom took over my inheritance, sold me off to the most dangerous Mafia boss, then I mistakenly ended up on his son's bed and now Madam Claudia's saliva are racing to land on my face, great, isn't it?
"I'm talking to you!" She thundered, which made me flinched.
I slowly nodded my head, pitying how pathetic my life was, yet I didn't even have the chance to cry.
"I guess you have a mouth, right?" Madam Claudia asked.
"Yes…,.yes, Madam Claudia," I answered, pressing my lips together, trying to stop the tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
"Great, Don Lorenzo will be back at night. The girls will be in your room later, you still have enough time to practice how to please him." She stated.
"Please him?…how?" I asked and she chuckled evilly.
"That will be your business, just know that you are only a step away from your death, if you fail to make the Don happy, then your grave will be ready to welcome you." She answered and stormed out of the room, slamming the door hard behind her.
While her words kept running through my head.
