Ruined By The Mafia 061: "I'm Sorry, Enzo, It Was Never Real; The Sweet, Submissive Anastasia You Knew Was Never Real; This Is The Real Me."
[ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW]Botulinum toxin; one of the most lethal poisons known to man. Supposed to take effect between 12 and 24 hours. As much as I wanted a poison that killed instantly, this would do the trick.It wasn't like they were going to eat the food anyway.In my hand was a tiny bottle of Botulinum toxin, and in front of me was the meal prepared for the Mezzesalmas family on the dining table. A drop of this noxious bane would end their lives.I tsked as I stared at the food. Such a waste, but it had to be done.I waited to hear footsteps and someone approaching in my direction. For the first time, I wanted those guards on every corner, but they were nowhere to be found this time, and I did not need them anyway. I only needed one person to witness the scene. As if hearing my prayers, I was finally greeted by the footsteps of more than one person making their way towards the dining area. Perfect.I quickly turned back the food and shook my head at the terrible waste of it
Ruined By The Mafia 062: "You Did An Excellent Job Delivering Your Part Of The Script, Anastasia Martin."
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)"You should be nominated for an Oscar."I finally acknowledged Rue's presence in the room. I reached up, wiped my tears away, and turned to face her. She looked at me with glee and a grin I wanted to slap off her face."Boss would be overjoyed at your outstanding performance. For a brief moment, you had me fooled." She smirked as she approached the cell, studying me. "Oh, it appears that Enzo was not the only one who caught feelings. It must hurt, doesn't it?" She mockingly laughed out loud. "Now that your part of the script has ended, mine has begun." She winked, turned, and walked out of the room, and as soon as the door was shut and I was back in the suppressive darkness, tears streamed down my cheeks, and I burst into uncontrollable sobs, nearly stumbling as I balanced myself against the wall.I'm sorry, Enzo. I'm sorry.The words echoed over and over again. My throat tightened, my heart raced, and I found it difficult to breathe once more. I slid down
Ruined By The Mafia 063: "Perhaps I Should Rephrase My Question: Is There Something Wrong With Me?"
(ENZO'S POINT OF VIEW)The mansion had a subterranean basement, and in one of those basements, there were fools who believed they could get away if they played cleverly. However, no one ever played smart and got away with it, especially not after stealing something that belonged to the Mezzesalmas. It was a death wish that was ready to be granted.A cage stood in front of me, and inside were five ex-managers of clubs, gambling houses, and casinos, chained and handcuffed, bleeding and sobbing.I watched them, my sleeves folded to my elbows that were resting on my knees, and my body leaned forward. I observed the way their blood and sweat congealed, as well as the fear in their eyes as they all stared at me with pleading eyes.The fear in their eyes was insufficient.The blood, sweat, and tears dripping on the floor, forming tiny and large puddles, were not enough. The whimpers and cries—none of it was enough. I wanted more.I stood up sharply, grabbing a blade from the tool table in t
Ruined By The Mafia 064: "Fuck! I Am Going To Be A Father."
[KHIONE’S POINT OF VIEW]I stared at the bold red line on the dipstick, and it stared back even more fiercely.Pregnant!The word echoed, and I did not realize it when I stumbled against the bathroom wall, shock coursing through me like a hot stream of lava. The sweat prickled my brow, and the drum of my heart was too loud for my ears. I felt my hand sweat, and it shook around the pregnancy dipstick.No! This couldn't be happening to me!I could not possibly be pregnant. I returned the dipstick to my face, and the red line stared back, as if mocking and laughing at my face.Fuck! I was definitely pregnant! How could I have been so stupid?I let out a frustrated laugh and racked my fingers through my hair. Of course, the first time in three years that I decided to give myself to him, I ended up fucked, pregnant, and alone! There was no way Giovanni was going to accept this; he would say the child wasn't his since he had already labeled me a whore.I slid down to the floor and let out
Ruined By The Mafia 065: "Khione, I Hope You Can Play Your Part. I Need You To Persuade Giovanni That You Are Only Interested In His Money."
[KHIONE’S POINT OF VIEW]My conversation with Giovanni went well, but who said it couldn't get worse, and that saying became true in just a couple of days.Meirnda stood before me, her arms crossed across her chest, her probing eyes darting between me and my bed, which was strewn with my clothes and an open suitcase. My stomach became her line of sight after that. “You can't possibly be carrying my son’s child, are you?” She spoke in a disgusted tone. I stepped back while bracing my stomach. How did she find out I was pregnant?She scoffed and rolled her eyes at my stunned expression. "Don't be surprised; nothing about my sons can be hidden, and the same goes for what happens in this mansion. You are mistaken if you believe you can hide things from me. And right now, that thing in your stomach is going to be aborted. That thing will not be accepted in my home.”My stare became a glare. "My child is not a thing, and whether your family accepts my child or not is of no concern to me. I
Ruined By The Mafia 066: "There's Nothing Worse Than Getting Raped In Front Of Your Parents And Then Watching Them Get Killed In Cold Blood And Then They Leave You There To Bleed Out While Everything Burns Around You."
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW) I remained there in the same position for as long as I could, until I was unable to distinguish between time and emotion. I was so numb that I was unable to feel the pain in my own heart anymore, so even when I heard the loud opening and closing sounds of the door and Rue's laughter filled the room, I remained motionless. Once her laughter died, she tsked. "Aren't you a miserable thing? Pregnant and discarded." When I finally moved, every joint in my body ached. My numbness instantly subsided. I looked at her. "I see that you are taking pleasure in this. You initiated all of this, after all. She laughed, finally dropping the façade she had been maintaining. “Do not misunderstand me, Khione. I never intended to sabotage your relationship with Giovanni; I have never given a damn about your shit, so it never began with me. I only played the part on my cards, and everything else fell into place smoothly." A slight frown owned my features, and I was getting of
Ruined By The Mafia 067: "A New Addition To My Harem."
[ANASTASIA’S POINT OF VIEW]I stood in front of the house I grew up in—the place that was supposed to be a safe zone has never given me a sense of comfort. In contrast to the gloomy exterior, the interior lacked warmth.Realizing that no matter how long I stood there watching, the door would not open, I reached out and knocked. And it opened almost instantly, revealing Mom.She fixed her gaze on me with surprise in her eyes. “Oh, Anastasia, you are here earlier than expected.” I peered into her caramel eyes, which were arctic; they had always been that way, and I had grown so accustomed to seeing them that way that I was no longer looking for something they lacked. "I played my part. My work in the Mezzesalma’s household is done.”Just like that, a harrowing smile surfaced on her lips, and she nodded her head in approval before stepping out of the way and letting me into the house and into the living room.Dad had a magazine spread on his lap and was perched on the couch with one leg
Ruined By The Mafia 068: "Welcome Home, My Little Princess."
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)"Anastasia!?" The vexation in his eyes had faded, and he now wore a shocked expression. "What-how-" he couldn't seem to find the right words. "How come you're here?""The Martins sent me. They said I would find the answers I seek here. Are you going to be the one to give me the answers?"Growing up in a home devoid of emotions and warmth taught me how to hide my emotions quite well. I was almost acting against my true nature in the Mezzesalmas household, or perhaps the Mezzesalmas brought out a side of me that I did not know existed, especially Enzo, but this was who I was. Cold and emotionless, almost like the people who raised me.While they strive to become less human by the day, I strive to become more human. There was nothing wrong with having feelings, but they saw everything wrong with it.He exchanged a glance with Max before sighing in response to my words. "I believe the Martins told you nothing. "Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Gr
