Chapter 12

"No way!" I was laughing so hard, as I tried to catch my breath. The tears were welling up in my eyes.

The best feeling ever.

At the moment I was in the garden chatting with Sofia, she had a break. It turned out that she's a two years older than me, likewise has been working for Mr.Martino for a year with her brother Antonio, who's the driver. Unfortunately they are orphans, their parents died in an car accident.

She's an amazing girl.

I told her that she doesn't need to call me ma'am, it makes me feel old and weird.
Otherwise we're practically at the same age.

"Hey ladies, how's going Valentina?" Antonio appers and asks with smile. His voice is deep, still not as deep as Lorenzo.

"Good, how about you?" I questioned, as he seat on the chair with us.

"Perfetto bella," He said in Italian accent. I didn't understand what he mean in that last sentence, however I suppose that he was fine.
(Translation: perfect beautiful)

"Oh mio Dio, he's gonna flirt with you now." Sofia rolls her eyes with annoyance.
(Translation: oh my god)

She was right.

When I was about to go downstairs to get myself sip of juice. I heard the unfamiliar sounds of people laughing. I didn't know what they are doing here and wondered, if it was a good decision to go down there and pay attention.

But I'm a very curious person, and I always have to find out everything. It ends badly, but well, that's how I am.

I went on my tippy toes to the kitchen, it turns out that the kitchen isn't empty. There's a man who looks like a gangster, but in a terrifying way. I swallow, I'm stupid enough to think he will not notice me. I reach for a glass and fill it with juice.

I feel someone grabs my butt, I turn around, and slap him across the face with all my strength. However I begin to regret it immediately by seeing his face. He automatically pins me against the wall by grabbing my throat, but doesn't choke me. Pain erupted throughout my body.

"What a feisty kitten you're, I love women with attitude." He chuckles. I looked carefully at his features, he had black curly hair with emerdal eyes.

"Take those filthy hands away from me, you fucking bastard!" I spits on his face. His hands were touching my neck, they were rough with tattoos. A bruise will definitely be there.

"You will regret this little one." He said slowly in a frightening tone, to let me know that I'm fucked up. My heart is racing and starts even beating faster.

"I wonder how tight your pussy is, we're going to find it now." Tears starting run down over my face. I closed my eyes, wishing if this was a just nightmare.

"No longer so brave hmm?" He laughs looking at my terrifed face.

"Help!" I scream, but not enough loud. He covers my mouth with his hands.

"Shut up, no one is gonna hear you!" Tears keep falling as my entire body froze.

I close my eyes for a moment to pray that someone will save me. I feel his hands travel to my breast. I didn't wanted to be touched, especially without my permission. Then he tucks up my dress, but I no longer feel his touch. I open my eyes slightly and see that he's pinned up against the wall by Mr.Martino.

"Hai toccato qualcosa che è mio e ora lo pagherai, figlio di puttana." He hissed something in Italian to the man who attacked me.
(Translation: You touched something that's mine and now you'll pay for it, son of a bitch)

I cried softly, it cought Lorenzo attention. He takes his eyes off the man, and looks at me with fury in his eyes saying harashly "Go to your fucking room, now!"

I didn't expect that he might get mad at me, especially that I'm the victim.

Not waiting any longer I quickly run from the kitchen, with tears in my eyes, barely breathing. I head to my room. I close the door and sit on the floor, putting my hands on my face. Wondering what the hell had happened, and where's dad.

Who was this man, and what he was doing in Lorenzo house. Now I realized that I could have been raped, if Lorenzo didn't help me.

I already want to come back home. I don't wanna be here anymore.

Minutes pass by of me sobbing until I had no more tears left to shed. I look at myself in the mirror, my face is all red and my makeup was smudged.

I decide to wash off this disgusting touch from myslef. My legs were weak, I bearly had strength to stand by myself. Finally I gave up and leaned against the wall hiding my head in my knees. The water keeps on running down on me.

I was a mess.

I change into comfortable pajamas and go towards the bed. I ask myself one question in my head, what I did to deserve this. It's always happens to me.

Why?

I miss my mother, she could calm me down. Tell that everything gonna be okay. I could hug her and cry in her chest.

When I lie in bed I hear someone is shouting. I think it belonged to Lorenzo. I don't understand what exactly he's saying, my vision doesn't allow me.

I heard knock on my door, without waiting any longer I wiped my tears away.

"Come in." I said.

Sofia entered my room. I felt happiness in my heart when I saw her, she come up hugging me gently. I only knew her for two days, however I got used to her appearance. She became someone important to me.

"I'm so sorry Valentina, you didn't deverse it." She said, there was sympathy and sadness in her face.

"I-It's okay, I'm a-alright now." My voice cracked, as I send her sad smile.

"No you're not, I promise you that he will pay for putting hands on you." She says, single tear drops from her eye, which I wipe.

I'm so damn grateful that Sofia stayed with me for a while. Nevertheless she had to resume her duties.

She's an angel with huge heart.

••••••

I have to say that I didn't plan to anything bad would happen to Valentina, my poor baby. I wasn't sure if it was a good decision at first, but I don't regret it now.

Also at the beginning I didn't want to make a mafia story out of it, but somehow it turned out like that. I think it will be more interesting.

I hope you liked it, despite the fact that the chapter was emotional.

Thanks for reading!
