Chapter 19 Old memories

After a long, tiresome morning workout session, Olivia decided to fill her stomach with delicious food. She had so much to do in a day, hence starting her day with something positive was the best option. After a long emotional conversation she had with Pedro which only happened one-sided, Pedro was a cold-hearted man. He didn't give a damn about anything she said. The man didn't even shed a tear when she was being all emotional.

In such cases, any man would act like a gentleman because men hate seeing women cry. However, the man was the complete opposite.

“Good morning” I greeted the lady I found in the kitchen, and she smiled and bowed a little. I didn't like such things. Especially the way these servants treated me like I was a big deal.

“Do you need anything Ms' 'the lady asked me a little shyly. Of course, I didn't need anything. I could walk on my own and get whatever I wanted.

“Nope…just a bottle of water and an apple,” I said, walking towards the refrigerator. A good diet with some nice fruits. I took what I wanted and left the kitchen.

For one thing, the mansion was always quiet. I asked Zane who else was in the mafia, and he told me I'd meet everyone soon. So far, I knew only Zane and Ira, the grumpy lady who never talked much.

“Weird…where is everyone?” I asked when reaching the top of the stairs. How could the mansion be so big? I knew the left-wing of it and some hidden room, but not the right. I heard there were rooms there. I decided to take a look. Since the mafia man said I could walk around as I wanted. Shall I do just that before I leave?

“I wonder what these men are hiding?” I said as I disappeared down the passageway leading to various rooms which were locked. Some were open and turned out to be bedrooms. Very nice bedrooms for that matter.

There was a game room with a pool table. I saw a bar as well. I guess it was a place for chilling.

“Cool,” I said when I scanned the pool table. Unfortunately, I was so lame about it. I recalled trying it out once and Sydney beat me like some assed bitch. We laughed our entire way home and thinking about that, I missed Sydney.

“Oh yes…fuck…ahh…yes mmm I love it” I heard a woman's moans immediately after I took a left turn down the passageway. I didn't even know why I was going, even when I was hearing multiple voices of women moaning like hell. This place was so strange. I stopped at a door and it was slightly open.

“Ahh…fuck me Gabby….yes in me,” more moans erupted and when I pushed the same door opened. My eyes widened in shock as I quickly covered my face out of embarrassment. I didn't know what to do or why I came here.

“Who is she, huh?” I heard a lady ask, sounding irritated. I ignored them and prepared to walk out when suddenly someone grabbed my hand.

“What…don't you want to watch” I turned around, and I saw a naked black-haired man in front of me with a tattoo on his chest.

“For goodness's sake, put on some clothes” I exclaimed, averting my eyes from him. He was completely nude. His thing was hanging around.

“Little Miss goodie…want to watch…it's fun,” the man said with a sinister smirk and forcefully dragged me inside the room. I gasped when he shoved me away and when I looked up. I found three naked women tied up to the bed completely spread out on the bed, and they were at me with bitchy expressions without any shame for heaven's sake.

“Not needed” I spat out and prepared to go when the same man held my hand and pulled me to him. How shameless was he to walk around completely naked, not just that but fucking three women in broad daylight.

“Come on…don't you want to watch us…it's…mmm… fucking sexy… I'm sure…you will c*m so hard when I f**k them,” he murmured seductively, biting his bottom lip in a way I found disgusting. I couldn't stay a second longer.

“Dog!” I landed a tight slap across his face and stormed out of the despicable room. “How dare that man,” I said and left from there. And like fools, they resumed their moaning. How did Pedro allow such things to happen under his roof?

“Can't he put up rules or something…” I said to myself, only to bump into someone who caught me before I could fall.

“Ahh”

“And where are you coming from?” it was Pedro who asked when I moved away from him. I met him halfway when I was leaving the forsaken area where bad things happened.

“Nowhere…if you can excuse me, I have to go,” I said nonchalantly and walked right past him, unfortunately, Pedro held her from leaving and Olivia stepped back and looked at him with a blank expression.

“Is… everything okay?” I asked, arching my brows at him…his eyes narrowed a little as if scrutinizing me.

“You should get ready in the evening… I have something to show you?” Just like that, the man said, and walked away from there. I wanted to ask more, but the boss had spoken. I went straight to my room to get ready.

Olivia's POV

A hot bath refreshed my soul and soothed my body. I had somewhere to go and after getting ready I grabbed my purse and new phone. Looking one more time in the mirror, only a sigh left my lips because I still had to get used to this strange face.

“Madam… Mr. Ramirez didn't say anything about taking you anywhere?” the driver said, shaking his head when I asked him to drive me somewhere. I didn't know anything about this place. I wanted to visit my old house, to pay a little tribute to my parents. They died a horrible death, this was the least I could do for them.

“Your boss doesn't have to know,” I said, flipping my hair off my face, and the man didn't barge. He dared to disobey me like this.

“I'm sorry, miss…no orders to take you anywhere were issued out… kindly go back inside,” the man said, slightly bowing at me and turned to leave when I grabbed his hand unexpectedly, twisted it in a way it didn't go, and slammed him against the car. The man started struggling to get free from my strong grip, unfortunately , he was trapped as he cried out painfully.

“Tell your boss…I don't take orders from people…hand me the car keys” I said, applying more pressure to his right arm and dragging it even more on his back and he winced in pain.

“P…please miss…h…here” the driver was fast enough to retrieve the car keys from his pockets to drop them on the ground.

“Good boy,” I said, loosening my grip, however, I changed my mind when I flipped down and kicked him in the gut before tossing him away as he landed with a thud and cried out in pain. He looked so pathetic.

“Next time…don't cross me," I said cheerfully and picked up the keys from the ground, and walked around the car to the driver's seat.

Olivia knew going against Pedro was a bad idea, but she was going to a place where it all started. A place where all her memories resided. A year since her parents were burned alive, left to wither. It wasn't fair for them. Their death was not justified when she reached the place. She was shocked to find it sealed away. She guessed the police did this. How dare they do such a thing when her parents were murdered.

Stepping out of the car, Olivia's legs became shaky. Her heart was racing and with every step, she took towards the gate which was closed and sealed away with police red tape.

“Mom…dad” she muttered as she came to a stop by the closed entrance. All the memories of her parents, and her little brother, flashed before her eyes. The bouquet she brought for them slipped out of her hand and landed on the pavement. Her hands moved up and reached for the rusty still. The coldness rushed through her body, causing her frozen heart to stir. The sharp knife in her heart was driven even deeper causing a grievance within, a loud cry escaped her trembling lips as warm liquid dripped from her eyes. Her grip on the steel bars tightened.

"Lalo" her brother's name left her mouth and all she could see were the images of her little brother running around flashing before her eyes. The burning was nothing but an abandoned area. Her eyes darted around and all she saw was dusty. Old burned things that once were her home.

"They left nothing,“ recalling how Luciano set her house on fire. Anger boiled in her eyes. The tears dripping down her chin were nothing compared to what the Garcias will go through.

"What are you doing here?"Olivia was startled when she heard someone say. Quickly, she wiped her tears regaining her composure and when she turned around she found Sydney standing there looking at her with narrowed suspicious eyes.

"Umm well, I…"Olivia stammered, unfortunately, she didn't know what to say. Who knew that Sydney would be here.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Sydney asked and this time she sounded angry. What now?
