Romano

Sophia
We sat on the table, the killer made me sit next to him, all eyes were on me,
But I wasn’t scared, they didn’t look terrifying, except for the girl of the bedroom,
She was giving me deadly glares as she took bites from her plate
“Is that her? “One of the boys asked the killer, he nodded at him before
Opening his mouth to say something
“Everyone, this is Sophia Pierce, she’s an unlucky girl who saw something
she shouldn’t have seen, and now she’s with us and we can’t let her go.” He
introduced me to them
(How the hell did he know my name? Victoria must’ve told him)
“Sophia, this is my mother Lillian Romano, the lady of the house
“He pointed with his hand to the woman sitting at the head of the table
“Nice to meet your young girl “she said and gave her a fake smile
“You already met my sister, Victoria.” He said again
“This is Todd, my right hand” I looked at the curly hair guy
“Those are my cousin, Teddy and Thoe”
“This is my g …...-Cindy ledger “
(We he going to say girlfriend? Why didn’t he say it.)
“And I’m Chase Romano, the don of the (Romano mafia.)” He
said and looked at me, his eyes focused on mine, I looked away
and fake smiled to everyone else
**************************************
“So, Sophia, what do you do for living? “Lady Lillian asked
“I’m a …… Waitress. “I answered, and noticed Cindy giggling
(I figured there is no point of not telling them, I don’t wanna get scolded
By the killer in front of them and honestly, I didn’t get why Cindy laugh.
I mean, she was the slut here.)
“I see, do you have a family? “She asked again
“Uhh … mm …no, just me” I answered, looking down
(They’re the mafia, God knows what they could do to my father
If they knew about his existence)
“Oh, what about your parents? “She asked,
“Both dead” I answered, I could see the look of pity on her face
“How did you end up being a hopeless waitress?” Cindy spoke,
And everyone looked at her, annoyed If she thought she hit a nerve, she was wrong
“Well, I had to work to pay for my med school cause unlike you,
I don’t live on daddy’s money “though it’s not entirely true, but the
vein in her forehead almost popped out as her entire face reddened,
I winked at her before taking a bite from my plate
(That’s how you hit a nerve)
“That’s enough! “Chase finally spoke, glaring at Cindy before she, could answer me
“You know she should be dead, you shouldn’t be leaving witnesses, “she said again
I noticed Chase’s jaw clinching as he glared at her again “We don’t kill innocent people Cindy, you should know that by now “Lillian spoke, folding her hands and putting her chin above them
“But, Mrs Romano, this is an exception and-...” she said right before Victoria cut her off
“Why don’t you focus on your business, and we focus on ours, sound good? “Victoria said, which made me happy a bit
(Victoria’s cool, I already like her...)
*******************
After dinner, Victoria accompanied me to my room, she stayed with me for a little time
“Don’t care about what Cindy says, she’s a b***h” she said
“I can see that, “I said, and she started laughing
(looks like no one liked her, except for chase)
“She practically grew up with us, our fathers were partners, she was close
to chase the most, as they were growing up, they were getting close, until
things happened, but nothing more “she stated
“Nothing more?” I asked
(She was living with them; I caught her naked in his bedroom which
means they had s*x all the time, and yet nothing more??)
“Chase has never loved any girl in his life; he’d only sleep with them” she answered
(just when I thought he couldn’t get worse)
“And why is that? “I asked, out of curiosity
She stayed silent for a moment, then she started talking
“Our parents, they weren’t in love, they had an arrangement marriage,
they were respectful and faithful to one another, but they never showed love
to each other, so I think Chase doesn’t know how to love “she stated
“And Cindy has no problem with him sleeping with other girls? “I asked again
“They have an opened relationship; she slept like with half of New York’s me “she told me
(well, that was a messed-up relationship)
“Anyway, I need some sleep, got some work tomorrow, I’ll come
by later, okay? She spoke
“Okey “I said
“Goodnight.” She walked out of the room and locked the door
I threw myself on the bed and covered with the sheets
(I miss dad, he must be dying of worry right now)
I was so tired today and I quickly fell asleep, the escape planning
Will start tomorrow
*******************
I was awakened by the rough knocks on the door; I quickly got up and went to
Open it, it was a man wearing a black suit and black glasses, maybe he was a bodyguard
“The boss wants to see you. “He said
“Who? “I asked
“The boss, hurry he hates to wait “he said again, rudely
(What is he? A robot?)
“O … okey just let me wash my face first”
“Quickly “He said, and I closed the door at his face
(how rude)
I washed my face and changed my clothes, the bodyguard accompanied me to an office, he knocked, and a voice replied
“Come in”
The bodyguard opened the door and gestured me to enter, I did, and he closed the door, he didn’t come in with me, I turned around to find chase sitting in his office, leaning on his elbows, his sleeves rolled up, showing his tattoo on his veined arms, the three buttons of his blouse were undone, showing his muscular chest
“Sit “he ordered, pointing at the chair in front of him, I did as he said
“So, miss pierce, I know our beginnings were quite …… rough,
Violent, inappropriate, I apologize for that. “He took a sip from his drink
“I wanna get out of here, immediately” I said, challenging him,
“I can’t do that, it’s too risky” he replied, calmly
“I don’t care!!! “I said, with a loud tone
“Watch your tone with me” he said again, I could see the evil glare in his eyes, and it scared me
I didn’t protest, I took a deep breath and sighed
“So, what now? You’re gonna keep me here locked up like your little pet?” I questioned
“Ehmmm …. No, I was thinking, you can become maid in the manner” he said
Seriously, what did he think I was? I was a waitress not a housemaid, and a MED STUDENT
“Seriously? That’s the best you can do ?? sorry can’t do it. I’m not a maid “I stated
“Well, you can’t stay here without doing anything, like a useless little thing” he said
“I’m not a thing! I’m a human being, and I want to go out of here you can’t keep me here forever! “I stated
“Actually, I can, so you either accept this offer or …. “He said
As he got up from his chair and walked to me, he put his finger under my chin and lifted my face, I tried to step away only for him to grab my jaw, a bit roughly
“You can become my personal maid” he said, looking deep into my eyes
My mouth drooped open at his words, what did he mean by that?
“What do you mean? Isn’t that the same thing? “I asked
“No, it’s not “he stated talking as he walked around my chair and stood behind me
“You serve me, you organize my room, my closet, you come to me whenever I call you,
you do everything I ask and obey my rules, and of course …. “He leaned to whisper in my ear.” You please me”
I quickly jumped off the chair and stepped away from him, he smirked at my reaction as examined my body with his eyes
“Are you crazy? I’m not one of your toys.!!
I said as I look down
“You have three options miss pierces, you either become one of the housemaids, my personal maid, or you get a bullet inside your pretty head,” he walked back to his chair and sat
“Fine fine !! I’ll be one of the housemaids”
I stated
“That’s a shame, I would’ve liked having you as my personal toy” he winked, and I roll my eyes
(I wasn’t staying here for long anyway)
“Go back to your room, Victoria will come to get you for breakfast, in 10 minutes. “He said
I nodded and walked out of his office, I headed back to my room, I stood in the balcony, thinking about ways to run away, jumping from the balcony is dangerous, I could get ribs broken.
My thoughts were cut off by Victoria walking from behind me
“Morning! “She said and stood next to me
“Hey …. “I replied
“C’mon breakfast is ready. “She stated
“Okay.” I said I walked with her
