MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT Chapter 16
It has been over an hour since Caterina was taken into the operating room. Giovanni had lost his patience twice and he is on the verge of losing it a third time."How did I fail to recognize her?" He asks himself as he paces up and down the room. "She was right in front of me and I didn't even realize it,""She much hates me now."The door to the operating room comes open and the lead surgeon walks out with his face down. Giovanni rushes over to him."How is she?""There's very little hope..." Giovanni finally snaps and draws out his gun."How is she?!" He asks again."We...I...she lost a lot of blood... wasn't brought here in time...she..." A gunshot rings through the hallways and the doctor drops. A pool of blood slowly forms around his now lifeless body. Soon, the waiting area is flooded with security men, doctors, and nurses. The operating room is now in chaos as they realize what has just happened."If she doesn't come out of that room alive, everyone dies. For every ten minute
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT CHAPTER 1
"Mummy?!" Mummy!" Little Caterina's voice resounds through the living room. She has always been a child that demands a lot of attention. She could do just fine on her own, but she believes no one needed to know that. "Yes, baby?" Her mom walks slowly into the living room as she rubs her big belly. She was already eight months and two weeks gone, but she had no problems maneuvering her way around the pain and stress. "I want to go to the park!" "Not today, Catty. Your father said to stay indoors." Her mom eased herself into one of the cushions. "But, daddy isn't here." Caterina gave her mom one of her signature poppy dog eyes. "How about we go swimming instead?" "No! I want to go to the park!" "Catty, don't raise your voice at your elders," "But, mummy..." She stops talking when she notices her mom gripping her stomach in pain. "Mummy, are you alright?" Fear was evident in her voice. "Catty, call 911." She hurriedly picks up her mom's phone and makes the phone call. Tea
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT CHAPTER 2
Mr. De Luca finally arrives at his destination after 20 minutes of trailing Caterina's car. He was still unsure about the source of his anger and concerns, but he didn't mind. Caterina has tickled his fancy and now he was going to see this through. He watches her as she walks into the house and gets comfortable as he plans to wait till someone comes in or out of the house.Caterina storms into her kitchen fuming with anger and her friend, Sebastian, follows closely behind her equally angered."And then he says 'It doesn't have to be like this, you know.' He is such a pig!" She rants as she hops on the kitchen counter."What?!" Sebastian exclaims."I'm telling you, I would kill that man if I had the means.""You should quit your job.""No! No, I need the money." "He treats you like shit and talks to you like trash!""The money smells neither like shit nor like trash.""Catty..." "Seb, don't Catty me. You know how difficult it is to get a new job. My dad has gone MIA for years now and
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT CHAPTER 3
Caterina was quite familiar with fear as it is something she grew up around. Being around her father alone was enough reason for her to be afraid. At work, her boss is someone to fear if her scars were anything to go by. But the kind of fear she is feeling right now, she had never felt before. She decides that if this man stalking her was going to kill her, she would at least put in effort to get away. She couldn't fight, she is the least athletic person and she has no one to call, so she would have to use her last feminine weapon: Her mouth. 'Let's see if I can nag him to death'She halts, turns around and swallows as she takes in the huge figure of the man standing in front of her. His 6'2 figure was intimidating her 5'8 self. His gray eyes held a threatening look, but she wasn't going to back down now."It's rude to stalk someone, you know?" Her voice comes out strong, contrasting to the great fear eating her away on the inside."I'm not stalking you, princess." The sound of his v
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT CHAPTER 4
Sebastian's worry only grew as the week went by. He knew that the moment a De Luca had an interest in something or someone, they would stop at nothing to get it. The problem wasn't Giovanni's interest in Caterina, the problem was the identity of Caterina. It is a secret not even she knows and his sole purpose in her life is to protect her from that secret and from the dangers that come with it. Although, he knew he was going to have a lot of problems protecting her when she started working as a stripper at that goddamn Casino. There was only one thing left for him to do now.Taking in a deep breath, he knocks on the black double door of an office."Come in," a voice calls from the other side. He walks in and bows in respect."Have your seat, Sebastian. What brings you here?""It's Caterina, boss.""What trouble is she causing this time?""She has caught the eyes of Giovanni De Luca.""What?!""He stalked her to her house. She's no longer safe there.""Has he approached her yet?""Yes
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT CHAPTER 5
Caterina stares at herself in the mirror as she tries to recall the last time she got all dressed up. She isn't the type to go out and even when she did, it wasn't to a fancy restaurant like the one Sebastian was taking her to tonight. The sound of her phone ringing brings her back to reality."Hey, I'm outside." Sebastian's voice comes from the other end of the call."I'll be right out," She picks up her purse and takes one more glance in the mirror. Her gown is made of luxurious silk fabric, a rich, royal blue. The gown is sleeveless, with a sweetheart neckline that softly frames the face and accentuates the décolletage. The waistline is cinched with a sparkling gemstone belt, which adds a touch of glamour to the gown. The bodice is fitted, accentuating the hourglass figure, and the skirt flows gracefully to the floor, with a gentle train trailing behind, adding an air of regality. Nodding in approval of her look, she exits her house. Sebastian smiles as she spots her. He remembe

Caterina lays in bed, unable to sleep as her mind is plagued with thoughts she desperately wants to forget. All she wants is a good night's sleep, but Mother Nature is not having it. Her desire to talk to someone about her dilemma grew with each passing second, but alas, there was no one she could call. She couldn't call Seb as she needed a different perspective on things and he was all she had.The deafening sound of her phone ringing breaks through the pin-drop silence of midnight. Startled, she reaches for her phone and an unknown number flashes across her phone screen. She hesitates for a few seconds but answers the call against her better judgment.There's dead silence for a few seconds as whoever is on the other end of the call doesn't say a word and neither does she."Caterina?" A familiar masculine voice calls."Sorry, who are you?" She couldn't quite place her hand on it, but she could tell she had heard the voice before. "I wasn't sure you'd answer." The person says with a
MAFIA'S LITTLE BAIT Chapter 7
Caterina could feel her heartbeat accelerate with each passing second. Not only was she right about being watched, but she realized now that her decision to leave her job and effectively her house had probably saved her from whatever these men had in store for her.The sound of two loud successive thuds brought her frozen mind back to earth and she couldn't believe what just played out in front of her. Sebastian had knocked out the two buff-looking men and they were now lying unconscious on the floor. She eyes him with a shocked, questioning, and admiring look, and he gives her a pointed look as if urging her to get her things. Minutes later, they are back on the road and speeding through the highways. "Are you okay?" Caterina finally asks."Yeah, I'm fine." Sebastian throws her a quick glance "Exactly! How are you okay? Those men had guns, not toy guns from the looks of it,""Of what use is a weapon if you don't know how to use it?" Sebastian knows he is going to have to cook up a
