Pawn For The Mafia Lord

The whole building was on fire. The shootings got intensely louder. A little girl sat in her room crying her eyes out. There was blood all over. Men and women ran frantically in the hallways, trying to get to safety, but no one seemed to remember the three-year-old girl in her room. Just then , the door flew open and a man in black attire entered. He pointed his gun to the little girl's face and a loud gunshot was heard. *** My eyes flew open immediately when I heard the door click open. Then the muffled sounds from all those who had been crying stopped. Nobody dared to make a sound immediately he entered. We all knew him as Eyes. He had an eye patch on one of his eyes, lots of tattoos on his body which made him really scary. He looked around, and his eyes fell on me for the third time today. I had prayed earnestly not to be the next target and another person was always picked. This time, he gave a signal to his men and they approached me. Oh God. Was I going to die now? They dragged me and three other girls were picked up. None of us dare cry or make a sound. A fresh breeze washed over me as soon as we got outside. This was my first time seeing the sun after two weeks of being in that dungeon. The last time I saw the sun was the day I was dragged here. The day I was sold by my uncle's wife. Flashback: That day, she was oddly nice to me. Served me breakfast before her children and made sure I ate to my satisfaction. I had thanked God that she had finally changed. She told me to get dressed and that we would be going shopping that evening. “Elena dear, don't be late,” she said from the door, which made me happier. I didn't think twice before I followed her to the car and then we drove off. One hour in and we hadn't gotten to the mall yet. I dared not to say a thing before she changed her mind because I didn't have much clothes. The ones I had shouldn't be listed as clothes, rather a rag section. Two hours and we were still driving. Then she drove into a lonely road. I was getting scared, maybe this was a shortcut. I had to give myself hope. After about thirty minutes of driving. We stopped, and she came out of the car and stood outside. “I'm with her,” I heard her say over the phone, and panic washed over me. With who?..me.? She looked into the car and smiled at me and I smiled back. I was already scared. A few minutes later, I saw him…with three other men behind him. He was holding a cigarette, and he hugged my aunty and planted a kiss on her lips, but she dragged him back and they had another one. More like a hungry kiss. Wait, my aunty had been cheating on my uncle? He s*****d her ass and then signaled his men to bring an envelope, and he handed it over to my aunty. I watched everything from my passenger seat, and I was about to wee on myself. I was so scared. My aunty came back to me “come out.” “Ma?” “Are you deaf?” I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me to rush out the next minute. I came out and stood beside her. The man came to me and ran his hands all over my body. He had this hungry look in his eyes like he would eat me up any free second. He grabbed one of my breasts and smiled. “She'll make the customers happy.” I heard him say… customers? “Take her,” he said to his men, and two of them grabbed me. I screamed and tried to break free, but my aunty just stood there. Smiling like she had won a lottery. I screamed and begged until I felt a sharp pain on my head. I blacked out. ***** That was how I got here. Eyes and his men took us to another building where a woman welcomed us. She had this kind but strict look on her face. “Terese” Eyes called. “Yes sir” she replied. “Clean them up, they're going in tonight, special team” with this he left. “Follow me” Terese said and we followed like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. She took us in a room and made the maids give a thorough bath. The maid assigned to me asked a few questions like my name and age in this deep Italian accent. I couldn't help but ask where we were and she told me that we were in Italy. I wanted to cry again but my strength failed me. I was long gone from home. Nobody would be able to find me. We were dressed in the type of clothes I normally see girls in brothels wear. A kind of lingerie that covered only my n*****s and my front and nothing else. I felt so disgusted wearing that but I had no other option than to wear it. I wasn't planning to die. We were kept in a room till when I guessed it was late afternoon and Terese came in. “Listen, the boss is here and make sure you are on your best behavior. When asked any questions, be bold enough to answer. Speak out” “Yes ma” “Call me Terese” “Yes Terese” “Now go” We lined up and left the room and we were given masks to cover our faces. Then we were led to another building and I could see the hungry eyes of the guards that stood at the entrance on our bodies. I was scared. I nearly broke down . I held myself and we went in. We were led into the farthest room where we got to and bowed our heads. But I was curious. I raised my head up and saw four men and a woman in the middle. She was puffing tobacco.. “Capo” she said to Eyes who I noticed, entered the room. He bowed, “Madam De Luca.” “Any word from him?” “No ... .he doesn't want to tell the truth." “Bring him in” A few minutes later, a guy was dragged into the room naked. He was badly bruised, and his face was kind of disfigured. “Seems you haven't learned your lesson..” She stood up and looked at him. “Madam De Luca, I swear… I don't know anything about the confiscation.” “Then how come all fingers point to you” “I don't know,” He pleaded. I wasn't aware of his crime but I felt the punishment was enough. I felt really sorry for him. “Take his balls out” “Noo……”he cried. “Please, please, “ he pleaded as two men came close to him. One of them was holding a knife.. “I'll talk, please “ “Be fast…I don't have all day.” “It was Capo Willy, he had a hand in it. He ordered me to take the fall.” Everyone's eyes were on one of the men seated..maybe he was the Capo Willy. “You fool, how can you pin this on me?” The man stood up, fuming in rage. “Quiet.. He's right, Capo Willy is the culprit.” “Madam De Luca, how could you believe that man over me?” “We've known all this while…..Eyes.” “Yes ma” “You know what to do” Capo Willy, under his screams, was shot and I closed my eyes. I could hear the girl beside me breaking down in tears. Did I just witness murder? Madam De Luca faced us. “Remove your masks.” My heart was beating fast. Will I die… I removed the masks and I saw her standing in front of Gracino, the girl who had been crying. The tears had smudged her eyeshadow, which had been hidden by the mask. “She's a weakling, they're all weaklings.” I looked and noticed that other girls had been crying too. “Take them away, to the normal units. I thought we would have added them to the specials” As we were being dragged away “Wait!” She said. Her eyes met mine, and she walked towards me and grabbed my jaw. “You didn't cry.” I said nothing. “Name” “Elena” She smiled. “I want this one … she'll be good for Lorenzo. “ Lorenzo?...who was Lorenzo.
