Cassandra,be quick with the food. We are hungry.
Okay mom. I dished out the food. It wasn't easy getting this meal done. I had to do some menial jobs to get food on the table. Ever since our business crashed,things have been tough. Dad has diabetes and I have to get drugs for him and they are fucking expensive. I currently work under a painting company. Although they pay little but we can survive with it. I dished out the food and they sat down to eat. It's little but okay.
Mum,I'm heading to work. Take care of yourself and Dad.
Okay Cassie,stay safe. I picked my bag and headed to work.
Cassandra,I want you to paint that area well. If you don't paint it well I'll deduct our of your pay today. I'm not the cause of your misery.
Yep,my boss insult me everytime but I'm use to it. I stared at her in anger,she's threatening to reduce my pay. She only pay me $10. She's damn wicked. I continued to paint the wall.
We got back to our workshop. It's late already. I changed my clothes, collected my pay and headed to the pharmacy. Dad drugs are almost finished.
Eric and I sat on the couch watching a movie. A knock came on the door.
I'm coming. I opened the door and started shaking. It's the Mafia King Lord Donald.
Lorrrddd Doonnaalld.. what brings you here. He didn't talk instead he shoved me aside and he entered with his goons. I already know what they came for.
Eric stood up in fear and walked towards Mabel.
You know what I'm here for,he said coldly where is my money.
We looked at each other. We don't have it yet we said staring at the floor.
I smirked evilly. You don't have my money. I've given you enough time to pay me back yet you don't have it. Lie flat.
Lord Donald please,we tried to beg him.
Lie flat!,I barked.
We obeyed like a samyoed dog and lay flat on the floor. His goons brought out whips and started to whip us.
Please,Lord Donald we'll pay you back.
I smirked, whip them harder. His goons whipped us harder. I feel my bones breaking. It hurts so bad.
Stop,I ordered my goons. I lit my cigarette and smoked. Lest I forget, you've a female daughter.
Lord Donald Eric begged. Please leave Cassandra out of this.
Nonsense. I've been waiting too long. I'll have her.
Lord Donald please,I tried to beg him but he turned deaf ears.
I'll marry your daughter. I'll give you three days to decide. The next time I'm coming here I'm taking her along with me. If you agree I'll set you free but if you don't I'll feed you to my dogs. With that he and his goons left. All my bones are broken. My body is in pain.
I bought the drugs and headed home. I got down from the cab and payed the cab man. I entered.
Mom,Dad I'mm... I opened my eyes widely. I met mom and dad on the floor with blood all over their body.
Mom,Dad are you okay. Who did this to you. I stood up and look around in case anyone is inside. I saw no one and returned to them.
Cassie,dad called me. I can feel his in pain. I tried to talk to Cassie but no words came out. I feel so disappointed in my self. I can't protect my only child.
I tried to get them up but they yelped at every touch. I managed to get them. I took the ointment from the first aid kit and applied it on their wounds.
Mom, Dad who did this to you.
Cassie,mum called me. We're sorry for putting you into this. We can't protect you. I feel so guilty.
Yes,Eric buttressed her Mabel's point. We're sorry for not giving you the life you deserve. We're sorry for not protecting you.
Mom, Dad what do you mean. I can see tears in their eyes. They started to cry.
Mom, Dad why are you crying. Why did you say those words to me.
Cassandra,mom called me. It's the first time she'll call my name fully. We're sorry for putting you inside this mess but it's high time we open up to you. We borrowed money from the Viper Mafia Group to start a business but it later crashed as you know. We haven't been able to pay back.
Dad buttressed mom's point. Your mother is right. We couldn't pay back the money. The Mafia King and his goons came here hours ago to request for their money. We told him we don't have it and his goons whipped us.
He cried harder mumbling all his words together.
Cassandra,mom looked at me. He wants to get married to you.
What!. Mom he wants to do what. No way.
Dad held my hands. Cassandra you've to marry him. You're the only one that can save us by marrying him. I'm very sure that if you marry him he won't disturb us again.
Dad,I cried. I can't marry someone I don't know and love. I know nothing about him.
Cassandra,mom said in a low tone. You have to marry him in order to save us and you. Please these pains are too much to endure. I don't want to die in his hands.
Dad cried like a baby. He's so emotional right now. Cassandra please marry him. You only have three days to decide. He's coming to take you in the next three days.
I cried. I can't control my tears. My parents are going through a lot and I'm the only savior. I can't marry a Mafia King.
(Three Days Later)
Three days came in a flash. I'm so scared because the mafia king is coming today. I have agree with mom and dad to marry him. I need to save my family. I made breakfast and we ate as a family. I cried in the dining room. I'll miss my family. I need to be strong for them.
The Mafia King and his goons came. They are holding chains,guns and machetes. I shivered a bit.
Lord Donald welcome. My parents bowed a little and greeted him.
I'm not here for your greetings. You know what I'm here for. Is she ready or not.
She's ready. She'll marry you .
Good. I signaled one of my goons to grab her.
Hey,let me go.
I noticed three of his goons brought out machete.
Kill them!. I ordered.
Lord Donald you promised to set us free once we get you our daughter.
I changed my mind. No more talking. Kill them!!.
I watched the goons behead my parents with their blood splashing every where.
No! Mom! Dad!. I screamed. I tried to run towards them but the grip of the goon holding me is super tight.
Pack their bodies and feed them to my dogs.
I cried. The goons dragged me into the car they parked outside. All of them entered and they drove off. I cried throughout the ride. We reached the destination and I got down. We entered a gate. I stared at the place. I saw people being tortured. I shivered.
We entered another gate and this time dogs are eating freshly killed human beings. I shakes. We entered another gate and I can see a huge building.
We entered the building and everyone bowed to the Mafia King.
"Welcome Back Boss"they all choursed.
He created attention and everyone gathered. He raised my hands,this is my wife. I'll marry her in the next two days so all of you should start the preparation for our wedding.
"Congratulations Master" they all bowed.
"May she be fruitful".
Back to work he ordered and we headed upstairs. The goons locked me in a small room with less ventilation. I sat down there crying so hard.
Boss,I ran my hands through his chest. Are you really going to marry that bitch you brought.
Yes,I'll marry her then I can make her suffer more.
But boss you don't have to marry her before you can punish her.
I know. I want to torture her physically and sexually.
Boss,I ran my hands down to his waist. I tried to seduce him but he grabbed my hands.
Lucy,I'm not in the mood maybe some other time.
I clenched my fist angrily. It's because of that bitch. Oh you are so going to suffer .
