SARAH I stepped out of my room dressed in a simple off shoulder velvet red gown with a thigh high slit. It was carefully handpicked by Grace.I never wanted to wear one of Emilio's flashy gifts but she insisted I did to avoid his wrath. And I had no other choice than to listen to her. My legs wore an Alexander designer heels which completely fitted them accompanied by a small Valentino designer purse which my hands clutched on to.I prayed within me that I wouldn't trip and fall whilst I walked with these heels. This was already past eight and the function had long begun.My hair was let loose to fall at my shoulders but I added a bit of touch to it by adding heart shaped hair pins to my hair. I wasn't a makeup expert so I applied some mascara and eyeliner, a light foundation that matches my skin tone to cover up my gloomy face and a shiny nude lip gloss to match. I looked beautiful and simple.I stood by the edge of the staircase, watching the crowd from upstairs. From a simple
EMILIO I tried keeping up with Sarah and Luca, observing and watching their every move and body language. I can't even lie, I was freaking tensed knowing Luca was all over Sarah, my own maid!He has so many sluts and girlfriends, why couldn't he bring one of them here as his date? Why must it be Sarah?Does he like her or is he just using her as a fling?And most importantly does she like him too?Man I can not even concentrate! This arrogant brat of a maid shouldn't have so much control over my thoughts and emotions. I tried so much not to concern myself with her activities tonight but Luca keeps hovering over her.He won't keep his filthy hands to himself and it makes me so mad. I can literally kill him right now!Man if not for the fact that we were business partners, I'd never invite him over for this party.Goddamit! I watched them from afar, the raging anger within me mirroring in my eyes as Luca danced with Sarah. She looked so happy, the happiest I had ever seen her since I
EMILIOI took a couple of vodka shots, passing every empty cup to any waiter that passed by. This is suppose to be one of the most happiest moments of my lives! I just got myself a deal worth millions of dollars in the middle east. My father and mother in italy, are extremely proud of me and I am living up to my duty as the capo dei capi of the dreaded Italian-American mafia. Yet this seems like the worst night of my life because of Sarah and Luca.Fuck! I took out a cigar from the pocket of my blazer and lit it up, allowing the puffy smoke fill up my lungs before releasing them. I am more pissed off because I can not even find the two lovebirds anywhere. Are they having sex or making out again?My hands itched for the gun that laid in the fabric confinement of my pocket. If I happen to walk in on them having as little as a kiss, I swear on whatever Sarah believes in, I'll shoot Luca and shoot her as well.Man that girl pisses me off so bad!"Emilio" my ears twitched to the familiar
NOTE: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A TRIGGERING AND MATURE SCENE. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.SARAHI laid on my bed, sobbing bitterly like someone who just lost something valuable and precious.The sound of my wailings reverberated round the room and bounced back to my own ears like a music on repeat. I did not know how long I had been crying but by the time I had become a bit stable, it was already past midnight. I could barely make out the beat and rhythmic of the music downstairs anymore. It had long died down signifying that the party had already come to an end probably hours ago.I never wanted to even step a foot downstairs but Emilio ordered me to show up. And when I did what did I get in return? I was humiliated like a petty thief. I could hear the disgusting comments hurled against me at the party when the necklace was found in my bag.They called me all sort of horrible names; a thief, a pauper, a lowlife scum. I heard it all.I could feel the hot angered glares of the audienc
EMILIO Two bruised up men, attired in worn out clothing were on their knees, unconscious and surrounded by armed guards.Within the confinement of the gloomy doomed warehouse, my men had successfully captured Sarah's elusive uncle and also apprehended his best friend and partner in crime as a bonus. My arrival into the warehouse signified a change in the atmosphere as all my underbosses became rigid as statues, firmly clutching on to their guns and awaiting any order from my lips. I sauntered in with an air of authority, the warehouse lacking the luxury of my home as broken windows, blood stained floors, dusty surfaces and a chilly air permeated.I sat down on the only available sofa in the area, its foam already poking out of the surface. "Get me the dagger" I ordered one of my underbosses. Like a loyal dog, he sprinted towards me and handed me a silver coloured dagger. My hands drew imaginary lines along its sharp and shiny blade, a devious grin playing on my lips."Wake the
SARAHTwo days has passed since Emilio forcefully tried to have sex with me and I haven't set my eyes on him since that terrible night. It all feels like an awful nightmare, a delusion that was never real.But the memories, the imprints of his fingers in me, the marks he left stood as a testament to the horror I had to face that night.God I just can't stay here anymore.I want to leave. It is awfully clear to me now that Emilio really despises me and he will or rather still, does not care about my consent in satisfying his urges. He bought me as a sex maid and he will make sure I turn into that very maid so that I become one of his slutty toys.The realisation brought about a sharp reoccurring pain in my chest.Haven't I suffered enough? I lost my both of my parents to the cold hands of death, I worked multiple shifts to take care of I and my brother, I still went as far as turning myself into a commodity that men bought just to put food on the table, clear my outstanding debts and
SARAH I walked out of the bathroom with my body drenched and warm, signifying the hot shower I just had. My hair was let to fall, dripping out and moist. Going over to the windows, I pulled apart the curtains of my room, allowing the warm rays of the morning sun to flood into my room, filling my chilly room with their warmth.Emilio's words from yesterday's visit to my grandma still resonated in my ears. If I wanted to see grandma hale and hearty, I'd have to sleep with him for money.But I am not an item, a non living thing neither is my virtue and modesty a commodity. How can I sell my body because of money? What if Emilio decides that doing it once is not enough and forces himself on me everytime he is fucking horny?I mean it's not something he can't do. And what if in the long run, I get pregnant for that brute? Heaven forbid I have an abortion. I'd never kill an innocent unborn baby because of a mistake I willfully consented to doing.God. I slumped on the bed, burying my face
THE NEXT MORNINGSARAH "Let me help you with that Grace" I suggested, quickly rushing over to her aid and attempting to help her carry the laundry basket but Grace shook her head at me."No. You can't help me miss" She refrained me from assisting her. "But why? I mean I don't get to ever do anything in this house so why can't I assist you all here for once?" I whined like a baby who just got her candy taken away from her, my lips turning into a pout.Grace chortled at my words and patted my back, "Because Emilio might have my head if he comes downstairs and sees you working" she leaned down and whispered in my ear.I pulled back and rolled my eyes at her, "That silly excuse again?" I scoffed. "Yes that silly excuse again. If you want to help me out so much why don't you ask Emilio for his approval?" Grace nudged at my shoulders, walking towards the stairs. I followed her steps, my face still mirroring my dissatisfaction. What is Emilio's problem? I can never understand that man.
