Ally woke up squinting her eyes because of the light coming from the window, the first thing that came to mind was that she was thirsty and this was not her room. After a minute everything came rushing back to her and she started to panic. She whipped the blanket of her body and saw that she wasn't in her torn and dirty nightgown from yesterday.
"I would not make a fuss if i were you, I would rather save it for something useful.....like convincing the Don " she heard a deep voice say.
She looked to the door and saw a man standing in front of it. She tried to speak but her throat was so dry, she needed water, but then again she wasn't that naive, who knows what they will put in the water.
"Oh hermosa I see you are thirsty, that is why I brought this," he said as he walked to the table to bring the cup of water on it to her.
"Drink up.......you will need it," he said after he watched her stare at the cup hesitantly but due to her desert dried throat she drank it nonetheless, she couldn't care less what was in it.
"Okay now why don't you start by telling me your name and how you got here, and Hermosa, speak the truth I can tell if you lie and the Don would not like that," he said.
After one minute of contemplating she said.
"My name is Ally Dawson and I ran away from my uncle's house..due to personal reasons," she said wringing her fingers.
He looked at her to see if she was lying, he was waiting for any subtle change in her facial expression to give her away but he saw she was not.
"I do not know how I got here because I just wanted to run away ...and I won't say anything if I could just leave," she said.
He looked at her from the bruises on her body he could tell she was being abused. And for the first time in a really long while he felt something.....something he never thought he would feel....sympathy. He cursed quietly and said
"Well, that is enough for now, if I were you I would get used to being here because if the Don spares you get used to working as a maid or his private maid." He said the last part with a wink which made her more nervous.
"And I am Carlos," he said as he walked out the door, she felt light-headed all of a sudden and knew something was it the water he gave her and she passed out.
Later in the don's office Carlos walked in and saw Marco busy with some work, as usual, his friend was such a workaholic, he thought. He did not look up so he sat down at the edge of Marco's table and said.
"The girl woke up" Marco looked up from the table.
"Apparently the girl's name is Ally Dawson and she ran away from her uncle, she was telling the truth I could tell," he said and Marco nodded, turning back to his papers
"It seems he was abusive, she had bruises, I put a sleeping drug in the water I gave her so she could sleep, so when she wakes up you can talk to her," Carlos said while Marco said nothing, After a while Carlos said.
"If I may ask what are you planning on doing to her, she saw.....and when you see you die. I think maybe she may be useful since she was telling the truth .....maybe work as a maid" said Carlos.
"I guess you are right we should give her a benefit of doubt" Marco agreed after a while, to make it look as if he was thinking about it when the truth was that he had been looking for a way to keep the girl alive without any suspicion, he could do whatever he wanted but he didn't want them to think the girl had some sort of power over him, which was why he was glad Carlos had been the one to bring it up.
"But she better not cross the line, the fact we are spearing her life she should be honored," Marco said sternly.
"Yes we got to make her understand that, " Carlos said then left the room a few minutes later after they talked about business as usual, and about Giovanni leaking information to the Russian mafia, but typical Marco already had a plan on how they were going to ambush.
Hours later.......
Ally woke up feeling really hungry but she did not know what to do because she was kidnapped, oh God she thought what if they kill me I don't want to die. She still wanted to do a lot, visit places, and paint. She started sobbing and thinking that she just escaped from her uncle and now here she was again. She just wanted to be free.
"Oh God please hel___" she was talking to herself when the door opened and Marco walked in closing the door behind him and locking it.
She laid back down quickly and pretended to be asleep till Marco walked to the side of the bed and said.
"Mi Amore I know you are not asleep I could hear you crying from my office, and those tears on your cheek are really prominent," he said and noticed the bruise on her neck and cursed.
He was going to kill her uncle for hurting her.
She opened her blue eyes to look at his brown eyes and the first thing that came to her mind was that he was not handsome but beautiful. His well-defined cheekbones, his pretty brown eyes, his pink lips looked soft she wanted to touch___
"You should stop staring, Hermosa. That's rude" he said and she blushed to the roots of her hair. She sat up on the bed quickly and said.
"Sorry....s..sir," she said looking down at her fingers and missed the smile that played on his face.
He brought on his cold face and said.
"Carlos tells me that you ran away and if I may ask why and do not lie or I might just kill you," he said menacingly.
"My...uncle.." She stops and sniffs looking down at her fingers.
"He was mean, did terrible things" as she said that her stomach rumbled so loud that she was sure that the guards outside heard to prove her point. One walked in.
"Sir are you alright we heard something," one of the guards said as he rushed inside the room.
"Everything is alright, you may leave oh and tell one of the maids to bring food upstairs," he said she was blushing so hard she was sure she was beet red. She did not say anything, then there was a knock on the door and Marco said to come in and a maid brought food on a tray. Marco said she should give it to me and put it on my lap and left the room.
That was fast she thought, she looked at the tray it was filled with pancakes, slices of bacon, syrup, orange juice, and an apple and she licked her lips because she was already salivating, she did not pick the spoon, not sure if she should eat.
"Eat," Marco said and she didn't need to be told twice started scarfing down the food literally until Marco said
"Slow down you might vomit," he said looking at her and he thought to himself that she must have not eaten for a while.
"Okay," she said looking up at him with a mouth full of food and he could not stop the smile forming on his lips and she smiled back with food in her mouth. Maybe he was nice, she thought. He sat on the bed and waited.
Later when she finished eating she burped and covered her mouth but it was too late he had heard and he thought it was cute but said nothing.
He waited for a while which was more than thirty minutes in awkward silence so that the food would digest a bit and he said.
"Now that you have eaten let us continue our conversation earlier on," he said and she nodded feeling sad.
"He was really mean...and...I could not take it anymore so...I ran away" she said looking down at her fingers
"How old are you," Marco asked
"19 I will soon be turning 20 soon," she said.
"When" Marco found himself asking.
"December 25th," she said and he thought on Christmas day.
"I have decided to spare your life and decide you will work as a maid here, if you try to escape I will not hesitate to kill you, you hear me" he threatens and she nodded her head.
"Thank you," she said.
"I will send someone to show you to the maid quarters to get your clothes and thus is where you will be staying...which is my room," he said and walked out before she could say no while she sat on the bed...
Frozen.
His bed how was she supposed to sleep at night only God knows what he will do to her.
She stood up from the bed feeling sore and went to the bathroom to freshen up after she was done she Walked into his closets to find only his clothes, designer suits most of them black some dark red, and dark blue.
She took one of his white shirts and wore nothing underneath hoping he would not complain because he seemed so nice, shut up her brain told her heart.
He killed that man her brain said and she sighed and was about to go to bed when there was a knock and the door opened.
The maid walked in and gave her some clothes and said.
"Work starts at 7, be up early" the girl practically hissed at her it seemed she didn't like her but she nodded and the girl walked out.
She was starting work tomorrow, she sighed her body still ached from the beatings her uncle gave her.
But she had to be strong, she would mind her business, and maybe they might let her go.
She needed to survive.
It was the only way.
The only way for her to see her parents again.
Little did she know they were never planning on letting her go anywhere most of all Marco was never letting her go anywhere.
