You Are Mine

I slowly walk to my aunt cautious of the men with guns. She holds me. "It is okay dear, don't worry"

But I am very worried right now.

"Who is he?" I ask not taking my eyes off him. He's staring at me too, so we maintain eye contact. I ignore my heart beating so fast.

Not now you. Don't fall for a stalker. He's hot. But a stalker.

"I'm here for what's mine" He answers my question, eyes still on me.

"What's yours?"I ask because I am confused

"No one here belongs to you... Not my daughter. Not my neice" Aunt Sofia spat.

"Bold of you to assume I want your daughter. What would I possibly want with that spoilt brat?" He raises a brow directing his question at Aunt. I stifle a laugh, covering it with a cough. Alessia glares at me. Not the right time to laugh.

"You don't seem to be aware of this. But my Bella.. "

"She's not yours" Aunt Sofia cut him off, but he ignores her.

"My Bella was used as collateral for the death of one of our people when she was eight "

What?

"I don't believe you" Aunt Sofia whispers

"I don't care about what you believe" he shrugs

"One of Don Luciano's men killed my brother, to prevent war between the two Mafia, it was a life for a life " He continues keeping his eyes on me

Wait, Mafia?

"What Mafia? What is he talking about? What mafia????" somebody please answer me!

No one answered me. Well, no one from my family answered me. He did.

"Your Mafia. The Russo Mafia. The Mafia you inherited from your father, I'm guessing Sofia here didn't tell you" I turned to Aunt Sofia

"I was only trying to protect you" She whispers

"Of course, you were" he drops a file on the table

"Contract papers. "

I rushed to pick up the file, reading it.

It said

'Isabella Russo and all she owns would belong to the Perez from the moment she turns 18'

That was all it said. Or all I chose to read, I ignored a particular phrase there.

My parent's signatures were beneath.

"So they sold me?" I whisper.

Why would they sell their daughter off?

I am confused right now.

"They didn't sell you, they just exchanged your life for the life of hundreds" Stalker corrects.

I can bet Alessia is happy right now.

"Oh and Sofia. By all she owns. It includes the Russo Mafia and the billions in her name"

It was like he dropped a bombshell. No one said anything. Uncle, Aunt even Alessia was speechless. Until she broke the silence

"No, why do I have to suffer for a contract her dumb parents signed" Alessia screeched

A gunshot rang and there was a bullet hole in the wall behind her.

She stood still, clearly shaken.

"I won't have you disrespect two of the greatest people I know," Stalkers said, his voice cold.

I don't even know where the gunshot came from.

But hold up. Hold up

"What Mafia? What billions in my name?"

"Oh, Sofia you have a lot to explain. But I don't have all the time in the world, Get her" Stalker stands up walking towards the door

Get who? Before I can think someone lifts me slinging me over his shoulders so my butt is in the air.

"Let me go" I scream pounding his back with my fist.

"Isa!!" Uncle yells. He rushes towards me but he's stopped by two people. I notice Aunt Sofia didn't move to save me. She just stood there watching with a blank expression. She turns away, walking up the staircase.

But why? Why isn't she trying to stop them?

I am carried out of the house, they throw me into the back seat hitting my head against the car seat.

"It won't kill you to be more careful" I sit up, straightening my clothes.

Stalker sits beside me, not even sparing me a glance. He closes his eyes as we drive away

"I'm tired of calling you stalker in my head. What's your name?" I blink my eyes at him. Silence.

He didn't even move a muscle.

I poke his cheek continuously.

"For someone that just found out she got sold as a child, you seem okay" he says without opening his eyes.

"Oh, I'm freaking out. But I'm still in the denial stage. So it is okay" I shrug.

He opens his eyes and looks at me. Before closing them again.

"You didn't read a clause" he says after a few minutes of silence

"What?"

"Isabella Russo and all she owns would belong to the Perez from the moment she turns eighteen, either as a wife or as a slave"

My heartbeat increases. I ignored that part.

"I thought it was just a glitch or something" I breathed.

"Either you get married to me. Or be a slave for the Russos. And trust me when I say you don't want that"

How do I trust someone that has been stalking me for years? How do I trust someone that just stole me away from my family?

"Why should I trust you?" I ask curiously.

"You shouldn't. I can kill you right now if I want, I can make your life hell" his words makes me shudder.

"I'd leave you to decide. All you have to do is agree. You have thirty minutes" He goes silent after that.

The car comes to a stop. The door is opened and I'm roughly pulled out by one of the men.

"Stop pulling me that way" Struggling against the tight grip on my arm, I try to free myself. I bite down on the hand holding me.

Hissing in pain, the man raises his hand striking me across the face. My face turns to the side, eyes on the floor. I look up to see my stalker checking his watch.

"stupid" the man holding me cusses.

I blink back the tears threatening to fall.

Don't be weak.

One of the men grab my arm once again, roughly pulling me up the staircase into the big mansion

Once we get in he pushes me forward and I fall to the ground, bruising my knees. I look up to meet a pair of leather shoes.

So novel typical.

I look up to meet a pair of grey eyes. Looks exactly like Stalkers.

"Isabella Russo, how lovely to meet you" I can sense the sarcasm in his words. I can also feel the killer vibes radiating off this man. Too many people, I'd just call him villain.

"Uh… who are you?" Dumb dumb dumb. Not the right question to ask the villain.

Stalker starts laughing but covers it with a cough.

At least someone found it funny.

I see the rage in villain's eyes. But he smiles instead.

"I was one of your father's closest friends"

Warning bells rang in my head. Villain seems evil.

Daddy never kept any evil friends. Plus he is old. But then again I don't think I knew him well enough.

"You see, your father's close man killed my son. And according to the rules, an important life for another. And I wanted you"

Sicko.

Villain bends holding my jaw with his hands.

"Now you belong to us. I'd let my men take good care of you" his eye glints evilly.

The guy from earlier steps forward looking at me with lust.

I'm about to make what could be the worst decision of my life.

I close my eyes saying the words that will change my life.

"I agree"

A gunshot is heard and he falls to the floor dead

Stalker puts his gun back into his holster walking to me.

"No one should think of touching her again. She belongs to me now"

My heart races when he grabs my waist pulling me to him.

He looks at me.

"I'm Domenico. And you're mine"
