EVIE POV
I ran and kept running them. I stopped to look about and all I could see was the Grede Mafia estate being brought down in flames.
Suddenly a bullet went through my arm and I noticed that a few Irvine members were still after me.
I kept on running trying to lose them but they were still behind. I felt my energy decreasing as I was already losing so much blood from my hand and then suddenly I saw him.
Cress Marianos, the leader of the largest Mafia empire in Italy, I couldn't care less why he was there at that moment but all I knew was that I wanted to survive, and I needed that man's help to do so
And now here I am a slave to him…
"Well I'm waiting, what's your name and how did you get so injured?" Sarah asked again.
"Ohh my name is Evie and as for the injury, it's not something I want to share yet," I replied.
"Well welcome to Marianos empire Evie and it's okay if you would rather not tell me, we all have secrets of how we ended up here," she said with a soft smile on her face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sarah," I said.
"Nice to meet you too Evie, I'm sure we are going to get along well," she replied.
"Yeah, we definitely are."
We continued talking for a while, she explained plenty of things to me and I found out that I was currently in the upper maid quarters room and Cress Marianos was not currently around.
We then suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Ohh should be the head maid, just so you know she is kind of very strict so just watch out ," Sarah said as she headed towards the door and opened it.
"Sarah ae you not meant to be in the kitchen quarters right now," A middle-aged woman who seemed to be the head maid said.
"I am ma, I just wanted to check on her to see if was okay, and then she woke up and the..,"
Before Sarah could finish speaking was interrupted.
"Sarah stop talking and go do your work now," the head maid spoke with a stern voice.
"Yes, ma'am," Sarah replied and immediately made her way out after waving at me.
Sarah ,she is definitely a fun and interesting girl.
"Well Evie, I'm glad you are awake now,my name is madam Chen," she said as she walked towards me.
Ohh, she already knows my name, maybe Cress Marianos already told her about me.
"Nice to meet you, madam Chen," I replied.
"You should get some rest for now, I will send someone to bring food, as you are aware that you are now a slave to the Marianos empire, and you would be working as a maid." She said, "but for now, you need to rest and get better, okay."
"Okay madam Chen, I understand," I replied.
"Well I'm glad you are smart and understand your situation, I will be taking my leave now so rest up for a while," she stated.
And then she made her way out of my room, ahh I can finally breathe freely, that woman certainly is strict, but she does not seem like a bad person, though.
Hmm, so now I have become a slave to Cress Marianos, I who was once the heir to the Grede Mafia family.
I can't believe I lost everything in just a day, I have to get well quickly and plan my revenge, I definitely won't let Irvine go Scot free.
And I shall certainly give them what they have served to us just for a common land.
I started feeling sleepy again, and I just laid back on my bed and then slept off.
A month has gone by in my stay in the Marianos house, and now I'm fully healed, and today I begin my job as a maid.
I took my bath, got dressed in my new maid outfit, and then I suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Evie, come outside, it's time," madam Chen voiced out.
"I'm coming, madam," I said as I immediately opened the door and came out.
"Good morning, madam Chen," I greeted.
Then I followed her.
"Evie don't fall behind now, stay right behind me and be quite okay," Madam Chen stated.
"Yes, ma'am," I replied.
"The Master is back and the one thing he despises the most is noise, especially when he's trying to sleep," she said.
I made sure to follow right behind and be as quiet as possible, but then suddenly a mouse passed between my two legs and then I screamed.
"Ahhh!!!!, get off, get off!!"I shouted and at that point I just realized I was right in front of a huge golden red door.
Madam Chen turned towards me, looking at me with deadly eyes as if I had committed an abomination.
Ohh no, no no , I can't believe I just screamed, I am definitely screwed now there is no way he didn't hear that.
"You outside, come in here now!!" A voice from the room roared.
Madam immediately dragged me inside the room and there he was Cress Marianos,his face filled with anger.
I'm sure if I explained to him that it was not intentional, he would understand what I thought to myself.
I immediately spoke up "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scream and disturb your sleep, it was just that a mouse came and then I…"
Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me and then said, "and who gave you permission to speak.
My breath got caught. "I–"
I immediately brought my head down ,my eyes downcast.
Cress rose from his bed and walked towards, grabbing my wrist.
"It seems like you have forgotten what you are now, you would do well to remember that your place," he growled, his deep voice low and menacing. " The Grede Mafia family is no more and you are now my slave.
I winced as his fingers tightened.
"Never forget that," he said, letting go of my hand.
I fell on the ground, tears picked at the corners of my eyes as I nodded.
I could feel his cold ,harsh gaze on me which made my blood run cold.
"Now Miss Chen, do see that this doesn't happen again," he said.
"Yes master," she responded with her head facing downwards.
"You are both excused," he responded with a firm voice.
Miss Chen quickly dragged me up and then whispered into my eyes, "get up right now, we are leaving now.
And at that moment I had realized that I had entered a deal with the devil himself.
