Wild Rose: Sold To The Mafia Lord

CHAPTER ONE : PAY BACK. SPAIN. Someone was at the door. The aggressive knocking of the door became louder and louder each time, as it was being banged hard. "Who is there?” Mrs. Pedro asked as she walked to open up the door. As soon as she opened the door, some thugs pushed the door angrily and Mrs. Pedro fell on the floor. She began to tremble the moment she saw them, they were holding all sorts of weapons ,knives, swords and other dangerous instruments. "How dare you old woman!! You really want to fool me without paying up your debt?!" A man shouted, he seemed to be the leader and was looking like a psycho in his dreadlocks. "No ,please. I promise to pay up as soon as possible. I don't have any money please....." "Shut up!!" he shot angrily. "Your deadline was last week, right? I even gave you one more week but nothing is happening. Get in right now and bring me my money!!" he yelled. Mrs. Pedro went on her knees immediately. "Please dear boy....." "Who the f**k is your boy ?" he asked, and his gang laughed out loud along with him. Mrs. Pedro was quietly looking down at the ground. "I will be here later in the night for my money, and you better not try to act smart by running away, once I find you, I’m going to kill you. Do you understand?!!" He yelled. "I understand," Mrs. Pedro nodded frantically. The leader turned to his gang members. "Let's go, we will definitely be here tonight," he smirked greedily, and they all left after him. Mrs. Pedro didn't stand up from the floor ,she sat there thinking about all the possible memes to get money to pay the thugs back. She had actually borrowed thirty euros from them, but she only paid five euros out of the lot she had borrowed. She wouldn't have gone to them, but her innocent orphan granddaughter would have died just about a month ago if she didn't get money for her treatment. Mrs. Pedro was still on the floor of their small sitting room looking distraught, when Rosetta entered smiling innocently she skipped like a little girl, unaware of all the bad things in the world, but the moment she saw her granny on the floor, she dropped the bowl in her hands and bent down holding her grandmother's hand. "Nana, is everything alright?" She asked worriedly. Mrs. Pedro sniffed in her tears and looked at her granddaughter. "Nana please talk to me, what happened? Did anyone harm you?" She pressured her grandmother to reply. "What do I do now, how do I get the money?" said Mrs. Pedro as she sobbed again. "Tell me" Rosetta requested of her. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you because you have warned me so many times against doing such .....but I couldn't watch you struggling to live, we had no money for your treatment...." "Don't tell me you borrowed money from those criminals...." "I had no other option, " Mrs. Pedro said. "How much is the money you owe them?" Rosetta asked. "Thirty Euros" Mrs. Pedro replied and Rosetta eyes widened immediately, they didn’t have such money. She left Mrs. Pedro and rushed to the bowl she dropped, she took the pouch in it and opened it in a hurry. She brought out the money inside it and counted it at once. "This is....just....five Euros Nana. I was so happy when I sold all the bangles just now" She sobbed. "Please don't cry, I have five euros kept, so all we need now is twenty more" Mrs. Pedro said, wiping Rosetta’s tears. "Those people are dangerous Nana, I don't want them to hurt you. I will make sure I get the rest, trust me" She assured. "No, we will do this together. I will go around right now and ask for help" Mrs. Pedro spoke firmly, finally standing from the floor. "Me too, let’s do this together Nana, it's almost 7pm" Rosetta was determined. Almost immediately Mrs. Pedro and Rosetta left the house and went separately to find a means to complete the money. ••• It was evening already the thugs would arrive soon, Mrs. Pedro and Rosetta were both sitting down in the sitting room, looking scared. After hours of walking around the neighborhood, nobody helped and now all they could do was to wait for the worst to happen. "Nana" Rosetta called as she raised her head from her grandmother, Mrs. Pedro's lap. "You look tired, I will get you a cup of water to drink" She said. "Thank you Rosetta" Mrs. Pedro managed a small smile though her eyes were dull and full of fear of what was to come. Rosetta kissed her cheek and got up, she walked out of the sitting room. The familiar heavy knock came on the door and Mrs. Pedro sprang up frightened, she took the ten euros they had and slowly walked to the door unlocking it. The leader was in front, grinning ear to ear. "Dinero" The leader requested for his money in their language, opening his palms. Mrs. Pedro gently placed the money in his palm, he counted it at once and his eyes turned red in anger. "Ten?!" He barked. "Please give me more time to complete the money...." "Men!! Bring this house down" He immediately ordered his gang members. "Please," Mrs. Pedro pleaded. "Bring it down!!!" The leader yelled again and immediately the men started opening the kegs of petrol pouring it around the house. Rosetta came out at that very moment, the glass of water she was carrying slipped from her hand and the glass shattered into pieces. The leader smirked watching as she ran to pull her distraught grandmother up from the floor. "Men, stop!" He ordered and the men stopped at once. The leader turned to Rosetta and her grandmother, Mrs. Pedro who were both holding each other, looking scared. "You should have told me you have something else to pay with" He smiled wickedly, walking towards them. "What are you talking about?" Mrs. Pedro asked, confused. "You have such a beautiful daughter." "No, not my granddaughter." She shook her head begging. "Guys, take her" He cut her off and quickly his gang members rushed towards her. "No!!!!!!" Rosetta screamed as they dragged her out of the house. Mrs. Pedro rushed out with them, holding Rosetta's hand. "Leave my granddaughter alone!" She cried pulling them away from Rosetta . The gang leader got pissed off, so he pulled out a dagger and slit Mrs. Pedro's throat. "Nana!" Rosetta cried, right there in front of her, the leader slayed her nana. Rosetta's eyes widened immediately, her nana's blood splashed on her face. Mrs. Pedro puked out blood struggling to live before she dropped dead on the ground. "NANA!!!!!!!!!" Rosetta screamed out but the men covered her nose with a drugged handkerchief, making her fall unconscious. They dropped her in their vans booth and sped off roughly. Thunder growled in the sky as the direction of the wind changed the rain finally coming to a halt. A girl was abducted and a woman murdered in the dark night with no witnesses.
