The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Book 2 chapter 24

Roman talks mostly so I don't draw anyone's attention for the night until we both go to sleep again while someone else keeps watch over the security.

——— 2 days later.

It's been two days since I've been trapped in this cell with Emilia.

Some men have come in this cell and others girls' cells to hurt us all. To mostly get beat and me not being able to blow my cover can't use any training to stop it from happening.

The beatings that they wanted to give Emilia, I've been taking. I haven't cried though, I will not let them see me cry since it did not turn out well the last time. If I cry I'll do it when I'm back home with my family and friends and my dear, sweat Roman.

We haven't gotten any food. Not that I really care about it, I don't feel any different because of the lack of it but Emilia is a different story. Her stomach keeps hurting making her cry often while she's growing weaker and paler by the minute.

Because of my past I don't really feel anything from that, but I do feel weaker and paler. Why?...the cold.

It's so cold in here and I can't seem to get warmer.

We lost the blanket the first real night we spend in this place. I don't know why they took it, maybe because of what happened with that man? I don't know.

My lips turned blue last night while Emilia's lips turned like that the first night.

Today is Sunday which means that today it's time for the auction. Honestly I'm sort of surprised that I survived these fast few days.

I mean I had hoped I would have and stuff but deep down I really thought that maybe things would have gone really bad. Like that they'd find out my identity or notice that I hacked into all the camera footage Wednesday or maybe that I'd freeze to death or maybe that that man from a few days would have succeeded to...rape me.

Many footsteps are heard across the hallway before cells unlock, then crying and screaming sounds everywhere.

Soon our cell gets opened before four men
rush inside.

"Calm down, don't struggle as we can't afford it to blow the cover, they'll hurt you " I hear my mom say.

I listen the what she says and stand up with Ellie in my arms.

A man tries to rip Emilia out of my arms but I struggle not letting them, "let me with her, please"

The men look at me before giving each other a quick glance and before I can process what's happening, Ellie gets ripped out of my hands while two other men hold me back by gripping my arms.

"Val" she cries out.

"No! Please, just let me hold her" I beg them.

"No y'all go in different places" was the last thing that was said before Emilia gets dragged away leaving me alone. To do so they hit me on the head pretty hard with a gun, making blood drip down my face, I had noticed the gun but I knew I couldn't fight back.

After a few seconds, the two man pull me with them while tightly gripping me arms. That I know for sure will leave some bruises.

I don't struggle as it would only result in more bruises as I let myself being dragged away.

We go through some hallways but everything goes so fast that I can't keep up as my head keeps spinning because of the head wound.

Eventually I get thrown into a room, I lower my head for a few seconds while taking deep breaths to stop those black spots that started to appear around a minute ago.

Come on Val, get a grip on yourself. There's no time for a pity party. You're here to safe people and stop a human trafficking ring.

I look up while shivering from the cold around me and see around 50 other teenage girls.

Girl above 13 but what looks like all under 18.

That means that wherever Ellie is there is either; the possibility that she's with other kids her age or they're bringing her somewhere else to maybe keep her there for a few years until she's older or...kill her.

I stand up in pain but don't let it get the hold of me, to let it control me. I start to look around the room but suddenly out of nowhere I'm thrown back to the ground.

I look up in pain to see multiple men in this room who have guns in their pockets.

If I could take just one of them...no, no I need to stick to the plan.

"Stay down!" A man suddenly says while pointing his gun at me.

—————

Roman's POV.

The whole family, including me, Amy and Atlas are watching the screens.

In a few hours we need to leave to the auction but that isn't for now, so as we are all now ready we look at the screens to make sure Val is sort of okay.

In these few days Val has been beaten, starved and almost raped.

Oh god, I can't wait for the moment to have her back in my arms and know she's back home safe with us.

I look at the screen intensity as a man takes out a gun out of his pants which Val seems to notice by the look in her eyes but since the men aren't looking her in her eyes, they don't see it. Val gets a hard blow to the head as they rip Emilia out of her arms.

My fist tightens into ball as I feel my nails dig into my hands.

Val falls to the ground before the man drag her up and lead her away, immediately Arsenio moves the cameras to keep following Val before they throw her into a room.

We put all 4 camera angles on the screen which they had of that room to see what would happen while we also put the angles of the room where Emilia is in on another screen.

Looking at Emilia, she is back with her class and are all okay without any injuries. There are no men in that room but there are some posed right outside the door.

I look back to where Val is standing, to see her now being held at gunpoint.

"No no no no" I mutter under my breath as I feel my heart clench at the sight.

Val looks at him with a daring face, "what're you going to do? Shoot me?" She asks looking him in the eyes.

The man comes closer while pressing the gun on her forehead, "I dare you" she says.

The man pushes her a little with the gun before walking back to his first position, making me sigh out in relief.

Val sits on the ground for some minutes while some girls get dragged out of the room every few minutes.

Around half an hour later with absolutely no talking in the room since when they'd try it, they got beaten, Val got ripped of the ground.

Arsenio immediately starts to follow Val again with the camera footage.

Val gets thrown into the room before the door gets shut again.

Val stands up on shaky legs before looking around.

In the room is a shower but you can't see through it luckily, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mirror and a pile of lingerie.

Val looks at everything confused until a voice speaks in the room through a microphone.

"Shower and change in a chosen pair of lingerie." A man's voice calls out.

Val immediately straightens hearing it, "no!" Val states while looking at the different types of lingerie.

"Yes, you will" the voice commands.

"I said no, I'm not wearing any lingerie in front of anyone" she says as her hands start shaking a little but she quickly hides them behind her back.

Oh god no.
