Chapter 10

Just for the future, I imagine Karmen as more of a mid sized girl with a chubby little tummy and thick thighs and shit..

TW: Physical/Verbal Abuse

Karmens P.O.V.

When I woke up the next morning I was laying in Micah's bed but she wasn't there. I went to the bathroom and glanced in the mirror. When I saw the hand print shaped bruise on my cheek the event of last night flashed through my head. I really can't believe Ryan did that, and I really just stood there like a little bitch and took it. I blinked the tears away that had started forming in my eyes before leaving the bathroom to go downstairs.

When I reach the bottom of the stairs I hear loud voices coming from the kitchen. I push open the door and see even more men than when I first came here. There had to be at least thirty men and a few women standing there when I walked with all eyes on me.

"Momma?" I turn to my left and see Micah on her fathers hip looking at me with a combination of worry and anger. She gets out of Luca's hold walking over to me, I squat down to her height and she puts her hands softly on the sides of my neck instead of my face. "Momma, what happened, did someone hurt you?" She asks sternly but sweetly.

"It's okay sweet girl, I'm fine." She shakes her head 'no'. She leaned in and kissed my nose softer than she usually does, as she tried to be gentle. "If someone hurt you Momma I'm gonna kick them in the head, okay?" She asked, earning chuckles from some of the people in the room, to which she turned around and glared at all the men and women. "It's okay baby I'm fine" I said, kissing her head and picking her up with me as I stood.

I sit her down in the chair as Luca sits a plate down in front of her. I was about to go get something to drink when the kitchen door swung open and Matteo walked in frantically looking around the room before his eyes landed on me.

He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. Half the people in the room weren't paying us any attention while the other half looked at us confused. I heard someone whisper "why is Matteo hugging Boss's girl? Does he have a death wish?" I was about to ask them what they meant when Matteo started ranting at me loudly.

"Kari, te amo, pero te sugiero que te sientes y me digas-" before he could continue his yelling I slapped one of my hands over his mouth and smacked him upside the head with the other. Causing multiple people in the room to gasp "Micah entiende la mayoría de los español, idiotas" I whispered so she didn't hear me talking about her. He let out an angry sign before gently grabbing my wrist and pulling me into a separate room.
("Kari, I love you, but I suggest you sit the fuck down and tell me-) (Micah understands spanish dipshit)

"If you don't want me to tell me exactly how you got these bruises that's fine, but right now I need you to tell me his name and address." He said keeping his voice low. "No." I said, crossing my arms. "No? And why the hell not?" He questioned, also crossing his arms. "I don't want you going out and getting yourself hurt or in trouble."

I said, trying to hold my ground. "hermana, either you tell me now or I get one of Lucas tracking guys to figure it out for me, and trust me it won't be that hard, this was just slightly easier." I rolled my eyes and started walking away. "Then do it!" I yelled before going back into the kitchen. Again earning people's stares.
(Sister,)

I glance over and see that Micah has her headphones while watching a show on someone's phone. "Okay, I may look ugly as fuck right now, but I still don't understand why all of you are staring at me like I just told you I had 9 toes." I said my eyes darted across everyone's faces "Amore, primo, you're not ugly you're still as beautiful as the day we met. secondo, Matteo is a higher up, he's right under me and Antonio. Everyone is just shocked he let you speak to him like that." Did he just call me beautiful? I felt my cheeks turn hot before quickly covering it up. "Matteo won't do shit to me, he knows better," just then Matteo walks in and everyone's eyes leave me and go over to him. He kisses me on the top of my head wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "What did I tell you sorella, I just got his address." I rolled my eyes pushing him off me. I heard a few people mutter small 'oh's' under their breath. "What the hell are you all staring at?!" He boomed in an extra scary voice making everyone else turn away but only made me laugh.
(Love, first,) (second) (sister)
