Chosen By The Mafia by Nina Daniel (android pdf ebook reader .txt) 📖

She lurked in another room and I luckily hid in our very spot.

I'm already a heart patient since I was 6. My condition was not cooperating with me anymore, it was warning of a collapse. My legs were trembling and my hands were totally numb. I wasn’t hoping for anything else than death.

I hope Melissa covered herself well from the eyes of Satans but just as I notioned this thought I heard a sound of a scream, they found her, a sound of slaps echoing in the whole prison cell I would call,

“Bitch, you thought you’ll dodge us, Nah! not that easy. Where’re those other whores?” He forced her and she sobbed loudly.

“COME OUT” he yelled. How did they know we were not there, do they have our identifications, they knew about us? Were we a target?

“SAY IT!” He pulled her hair forcefully; making her hiss and cry in pain,

“I don’t know she escaped,” she said to him, she was defending me,

“Fooling me isn’t easy you piece of shit” he scowled at her,

“If you want your slutty friend to be alive, just come out of that hole. It’s not easy to throw dust in our eyes. y’all be found.” Only shrieks were audible, he was quiet for a while till,

“I'm gonna count till 5. If you won’t come out then she won’t be able to live another second” he threatened me, no he will kill her, I can’t do this but what will he do to me if he gets me, will he kill us both? Thoughts were rushing in my mind involuntarily, I shuddered for a second but my ground skipped my feet when he started counting,

“1” he started,

“2” leaving me panicking,

“3”, “do not come out…” But he strangled her,

“4” it’s my last chance, without my permission my feet ran to her before he counts 5,

“5” he shot her before I could barely reach her

“Noooo!” I scream in agony. Her back was facing my front but wasn’t she wearing something else? Her body fell back on the ground. I gasped when I saw her face. She was not Melissa. Whoever she was doesn't matter now because she’s just a corpse and it’s because of me. Her eyes were stoned at mine, and I shrieked looking at her. My hysterical cries kept louder and louder. I was…. No not guilty. That won’t justify my feelings.

She was lifeless because of my mistake; I was late. I kneeled and touched her hands. They were cold; she sounded afraid to be dead and look at what happened; They took the most precious thing from her; her life. There were people gathered around me just now. The men and some girls stared at me with fear because they knew what’s next waiting for me.

“LET US GO”

“LEAVE ME”

“NO, AHH… NO”

“WHY ARE WE HERE”

I heard different voices struggling out of the hold.

“Boss, they all were tryna escape,” he narrated to another man,

“Seems like, they booked their tickets,” he glared at us, “Get them to torture room” he signaled and they actioned his orders.

“take them to the main mansion’s, Boss wanna have more fun today, let it be one of them,” he chuckled after saying those painful words, they’re gonna torture me too.

God, kill me before he does.
