The MOB

:

Elena's POV:

I groaned as I felt a little sore down there. Why did I feel sore? I tried getting up and looked down at myself to see that...while I was asleep, someone had...no, no. It was impossible. I didn't believe it. I couldn't. My dizziness the other time was a bit suspicious, Jason insisted on escorting me and then the next thing I knew was that I was sore. Jason couldn't have... right? I removed the blanket and stepped down from the bed, looking at myself in the mirror. Fuck! I felt so disgusted. I couldn't believe that Jason would actually do such a thing to me. I thought...I thought I was safe with him but I sure as hell wasn't and it's all clear to me now what it was that he wanted from me. I was scared to the core because I didn't want Antonio to have found this out. I was visibly shaking because I'd had sex, on my bed with a man that wasn't Antonio. I didn't want to go out...no way...I was too ashamed. I looked around and saw a letter on the ground. The letters looked like Jason's handwriting. Scared to read it, I gently picked it up and my eyes read through.

"I'm sorry Elena. This was what I had to do to get into the mafia. They informed me to sleep with Damon Antonio's wife because they know you are his weakness. Sleeping with you was going to open the door of power that I needed. That was why I said so. If you had chosen me instead of Damon? It wouldn't be this way."

The letter dropped from my hands. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He wasn't here to protect me at all after all. He just wanted to have sex with me and run away. The tears dropped from my eyes as I slowly bent down. What had I done to him to deserve this? My hands covered my mouth as I realized what had just happened. If the news about me sleeping with Jason got to the mafia mob, I was done for. Antonio was going to be displeased because it was his reputation tarnishing. I couldn't even imagine it happening. The rules of the mafias were strict. I could get killed after this. I could get killed for cheating. The mobs were already against me; they realized Derek and Antonio favoured me. They were really trying their hardest to weaken him and bring him down from his rank. The only way he would maintain it was to kill me, there was no other option. I was shaken. What was Antonio going to do? I've known him for a year now and have seen the way he tortures. I've seen the way he treats people, and kills them. Would he also kill me that way?

I didn't want this news to get out. I had to find something to do about it. I immediately took my phone and tried to dial his number. If it was money he wanted I was going to give that to him, it wasn't a problem at all. The news mustn't reach the mafia mobs, they were going to post it on the mafia internet and throw insults at me. I didn't want that sort of disgrace. Antonio was going to be ashamed of me. The phone rang but the call was declined. I tried calling again and yet Jason still declined my call. Then I called and this time it was no longer reachable. I needed no expert to tell me that he blocked my number. I couldn't believe it was Jason. Jason that I put my trust in when I needed him the most, the Jason I thought was for me and not against me. The old Jason would have picked up the call to ask what was going on with me and to tell me he was sorry for doing such a thing, he wouldn't even do it to me. He'll consider my feelings before trying such a thing on me. My eyes were wet with tears, and so was my face.

"No, no, no Jason, why would you do this to me?" I sobbed as I fidgeted with my phone. I was shaking because of how unforgiving the mafia was. I didn't even know what to do. I had no idea how to go about my life right now. Everything seemed to be crumbling before my eyes, I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I'd been raped so many times. But this wasn't just rape, it was an assault that was going to be blamed on me. Something that was going to result in all the accusing fingers getting pointed at me. I hiccuped. What was I supposed to do now?

How was I going to go about this? How? I ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower to get the disgust out of my body but I still felt dirty. I still felt disgusted. I took the soap and everything that I needed to rid myself of the feeling of someone holding me tightly down to the bed...I shook my head trying to rid myself of the memory. I wasn't fully awake while it was happening. I thought it was all a dream. But no one was whispering dirty words into my ear, telling me things they regretted doing but had to do. I couldn't even remember the words but I know I didn't even object to him. In fact, my moans echoed in the room...how did no nobody hear me? How did...I heard a door shut from outside and jumped.

Who was that? I took my robe and quickly put it on before heading out. Then I walked out of the bathroom to see Antonio sitting on my bed. My heart skipped two beats. If I'd ever been scared of Antonio, I'd never been more terrified of him than I was today. He raised his gaze to look at me, his face completely neutral. I couldn't tell if he knew about it or not but he sure as hell didn't seem like it. But that was Antonio. He was unpredictable sometimes, you never knew what he could do next and I honestly didn't know whether or not to lie. I received a text on my phone and I hurried to check it out. Antonio didn't ask to even see it. It was so not him.

I read the message from Jessie.

"It's all over the internet Elena. He knows."

I felt surprisingly numb after so much fear. There was no point. When I raised my gaze, he was still on his phone.

His silence was deafening.
