The Mafia’s Auctioned Little Gem

04

Daisy.

I forced the bile that had already formed in my throat down as I watched the man leave just after he’d told me that he was going to devour me. Fear caused the hair at the back of my neck to remain standing.

I was covered in goosebumps and although he looked very much like Leonardo, I knew that he wasn’t the one. Leonardo had a dark aura but it wasn’t like this one.

This man scared me, he looks like one to hit me when I talk while he is still talking. I hated the fact that I’d already made my choice, I hated the fact that if push comes to shove I was going to choose Leonardo.

Questions ran through my mind as I watched him walk right down the hallway with no care in the world, it was as though he had everything under his feet and he could trample on them without anyone questioning him.

Who could he be? He looked just like Leonardo but at the same time they were very different. They don’t look the same age and while Leonardo had a near perfect face, this man has a mole above his right brows.

It didn’t interfere with his distinct facial features, he had a set jaw but he didn't look like one who smiled and when he stood in front of me, I felt my skin crawl.

“We have to leave now.” The lady who was leading me out of the first room I was in said and we both walked to another room. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that I was being watched.

The cameras everywhere weren't hidden and the thought of it alone made my stomach churn. Why would he have a camera in a lady’s room?

Aside from being a total jerk and a ruthless human, is he also a pervert?

My chest tightened when the thought of my father crossed my mind. Laying on the bed, I curled up like a cold kitten as I cried just thinking about my father.

I didn’t want to be here. I hate being here. I want to be with my father, I wanted nothing but to be back in the house with him.

I miss him and I knew that he would be missing me just as much.

Why did I have to leave the house? Why did I have to get so greedy?

I couldn’t ask the people around me any questions and earlier, while I was with Leonardo, I couldn’t even beg him to spare my life. That’s how scared I am about what the consequences of me opening my mouth would be.

Crying, I didn’t hold back as I let the tears drop freely. My chest tightened and I blamed myself for finding myself in this kind of situation.

If only I’d ignored the juicy money then maybe things wouldn’t have gotten this bad. I still had my job at the bar, I could’ve still been in debt but I was going to keep making do with the money I was making from bartending.

The door opened and I stood up at once, my sadness getting drowned out by the fear I felt and relief washed over me when I saw that it wasn’t Leonardo or the man I met at the hallway the other time.

It was just one of the maids.

Sighing, I sat back down but she hurried inside with a new dress and confused. I couldn’t help but ask her what was going on as she tried to dress me up like I couldn’t do it myself.

“We have to get you ready,” she responded and I raised an eyebrow. I was scared but I also wouldn’t let her touch me without telling me what my fate was going to be.

“You’ll be having dinner with the boss and just so you know, he hates waiting so think carefully before you waste any of our time here because I really really want to live.” She finished.

My fight dropped and I sat like a doll as she did my hair and helped me dab a little makeup on. My heart was heavy as I stared in the mirror, tears clouded my vision but I couldn’t let it drop.

Everyone was scared of Leonardo and if I still wanted to see my father again then I have no other choice but to dance to their tunes and obey them and now that my father isn’t home, I have to do everything Leonardo wanted so I would be able to see him again and secure his safety.

I’m going to remain here until I find an opening, until I find a way out.

Sighing, I stared at the mirror and it was taking all that I had in me not to barf. The dress was even shorter than the one I was wearing when I was made to go on stage that day.

My boobs were almost exposed and it was as though the only part the dress was covering was my n*****s, navel and my ass. The dress was open back and the lower part was so transparent that one could see the color of my panties.

“C…. Can I wear something else?” I whispered, covering my body in a way I could but the maid only shook her head. I could tell that she felt sorry for me.

I took another glance at myself in the mirror again and I wanted to cry, never in my entire life have I worn something or even dreamt of wearing a dress so exposing.

“You don’t have to cry,” the maid said and I blink back my tears at once as I swallowed my sobs, “crying wouldn’t change a thing because as hard as it looks, you’re in this forever.” She finished.

My entire being broke and I just wanted an earthquake to happen and just take me away with it but even that seemed far-fetched at the moment.

“You can cry until the next day and nothing will happen,” she continued as she redid my makeup, “I shouldn’t be advising you but I’ll give you my two cents, you should do everything you can to see to it that you don’t get in trouble with the boss.” She said.

I didn’t need to ask her what she meant before I knew it. I’ve seen Leonardo and the other man, I’ve felt their aura and I know what I’m in for already.

“Because if you do it will not only cost you your life but also that of everyone you hold dear to your heart.”
