Chapter Text
It was finally a sunny day here in Seattle and we 19 family have decided to go to Deans place after our shift and have a few drinks then head to Joes Bar
“Hey Maya! You ready for some fun tonight and to get laid?” I roll my eyes smirking at Vic
“Yes I am!” I wink at her
“Hey this also came for you, it’s from your mother” I sigh taking it from her hands
“Thank you Vic”
Today marks 2 years since Lanes passing, they said he overdosed but we know he never took anything as harsh, yes my father was a cruel man but he loved his family, especially my mother
And it’s been almost 3 for my brother…. Same thing, I miss him so much
‘Meet me at the park outside your apartment Maya and make sure no one is following you
-mom
I stare wide eyed
“What the hell?”
Vic looks over at me and leans over my desk to read the note
“Wow…. Sounds shady” Vic replied
I sigh with a huff “I guess I’ll see you at Joes”
Vic nods at me and I change into my civilian clothes making my way to the park, a few feet away I see my mom sitting on a bench behind trees
“Mom…. You okay?” She jumps and I apologise
“Maya…. Did anyone see you?”
I look around with a frown and a questioning look
“No? I don’t know? I wouldn’t think so?” She sighs
“Maya! Come on!” I follow her to her car but we stop just in front of it
“Give me your phone”
“What? Why?” I hand it to her and she opens the door for me encouraging me to get in and I do but then I watch her throw my phone
“Mom!! What the hell!” She walks around the car getting into the drivers seat
“Mom what was that for?!” I fold my arms and she immediately locks the door
“Maya….. there are so many things I wished would never happen to you, you’re my baby! I love you but you are in great danger”
“What?” I ask and she drives off “where are we going?” She shakes her head as I stare at her
“Maya….. your father… we… he! Ughhh this is hard” I start glaring at my own mom
“When I first met your father he told me he was a coach…. Track coach at a high school in California and I believed him for years without question” I stare out the window watching Seattle pass as I listen to my mother
“Please just get to the point” i impatiently sigh
“Lane was the Leader of a Mob… Lane had a brother who passed due to an illness which made Lane next in line but what nobody knew was you were his daughter…. That was until a couple days ago during a scene” I stare back at my mother with raised eyebrows
“What scene?” She sighs pulling into a long driveway that leads to a small cabin
“You came across a scene that caught fire three days ago that you all believe was arson…. A group of men believe you are Lanes next of kin” she stops the car and cries into her hands
I reach across to her and hold her arm
“Mom…… I do believe that these things do exist but dad? In the mob? That I don’t believe” I smile at her but she stares back at me with so much hurt
“Maya…. I am not playing games with you right now… the Bishops run a very strong and dangerous business! They need their blood back and the Guzmán are looking for you! They want you dead!” she cries and I sigh not believing a word she says
“Mom-“
“Maya no! You’re in danger, the Deluca are looking for you! The Deluca and Bishops are the most powerful and they’re also looking for you!” she gets out and I follow her
“Mom wait… you’re not walking away from this conversation”
“I will protect you!”
Two tall men in black stand outside the door of the cabin all strong and serious and I pause backing up back to the car
“Mom”
“Maya come on” I stand frozen and my mother turns around grabbing my hands
“They’re okay… they’re not going to hurt you” one man comes out wearing the same and he bows to my mother
“Mrs Bishop” he kisses her hand and stares at me
“Our princess” he grabs my hand kissing it and I get uncomfortable leaning closer to my mother snatching my hand back
The other two men bow their heads too as we walk into the cabin but they remain standing outside while we follow this……. Stranger?
“Please sit down” I pause and look around the cabin that’s very……. I cannot explain.. outside it looks like nobody lives in it but the second you walk into this cabin it screams luxury, we sit on the beautiful soft couches and he sits across from us on a single
“I am Ryan and I am your right hand man, whatever you want and whatever you need I will provide, my job is to ensure you are-“
“Wow pause!” I hold my hand up “Wait… you’re dead serious?” I stare right into his soul and my mother holds my hand
“I’m not joking with you Maya” my mom replies and I stare at her
“No…. No I don’t want anything to do with this! I want a normal life, this is not what I want” I take my hand back from my mom and lean away from her
“Could you please give us a moment?” he stands and bows his head and straightens his vest
“I am being summoned to the mansion and I hope to see you both there tomorrow evening, our men will stay here tonight to keep watch and bring you to us first thing tomorrow” I laugh at him, I don’t know why but I laugh at him
“I don’t have a passport” I smirk, lying to myself and he gives me a pretty attractive smile
“You don’t need a passport my lady” he takes his leave and I watch him walk out the door and I stare so speechless at my mother
“You didn’t finish off your story about dad? Why is this hard to believe?” I sigh and rub my face
“Maya….. your father did his best to keep you away from his world, I’ve only stepped into it once and that was to get him away from there, away from that life because I was pregnant with you, we chose to keep that a secret from anyone and everyone and if they were to ask about you I say I had you before I met him” she grabs ahold of my hands
“But Mason… there was no way I could lie about him not being mine…. So everyone knew and that put his life in so much danger, he learnt everything about the mobs” she says to me and I sigh…… I miss my brother so much
“I love you baby…. I’ll do anything to protect you! You were right about your father and your brother… they both did not die of overdose and you know it….. Ryan believes it was the Guzmán family, a Colombian family trying to break the connection the Delucas are trying to link”
“This marriage….. I don’t want it but it’s the only way you can ever be safe! I don’t want to force your hands Maya-“
“GET DOWN” before I could even blink my mother throws me to the ground and I climb on top of her trying my best to cover her, there are guns going off out there and so much yelling and for the first time in my life I’m so scared
“Mom- marriage?!”
“I love you Maya…… I love you so much and I am so so sorry” she kisses my head and holds my jacket
“I love you my sweet sweet baby girl” she kisses my head again and I cry
“Mom you’re my only family I have left, please no” I hold her tight and she holds my face
“Station 19 is not only your firefighters but they are your real family Maya, they work for us! For your father! Every one of them have a place in the Bishop family! Your dad put them in your life to protect you! They will be waiting for you-“ she looks around as it goes quiet
What does she mean?
“Mom-“ she covers my mouth and kisses my head one last time before I’m yanked off her and I scream
“Mom!! No!” I fight them surprised I still remember all the training my dad put me through, I get a good few punches in and drop 4 men to the floor before I’m held down by 3 men and I watch one drag my mother outside as I’m kicked in the knees kneeling
“Let me go!” I thrash knowing it’s just wasting my energy and it goes quiet out there and I hear heels clicking?
“Mom-“ my head is covered and I hear whispers out there ‘what is going on?!’ then I hear my mother begging for her life and a gun go off, I cry my heart out shaking my head and next thing I know I’m knocked unconscious
The next time I feel myself come conscious I’m in a car with something over my head and there’s a lot happening outside again, I hear guns fire and screams, bodies drop and heels? Two sets this time?
I crawl out of the car feeling drowsy and then I hear someone yell
“Princess is on the move” and then steps start to run towards me and drop at the same time and I try crawl away
“Get her and put her in our car now!” I hear a man yell and before I knew it I’m being picked up again and this time I’m placed gently into the vehicle
It’s a woman??
Couple seconds later, a man removed my mask and I struggle to keep my eyes open, my head is pounding!
“Sorry Princess” I try my best to stay focused on this handsome man until I’m pricked again and knocked unconscious
Once I open my eyes I shut them immediately as it’s morning? And there is just so much light…. Who left the blinds open? And then I sit up in panic remembering that I was taken
“Hey, hey calm down…. You’re okay!” The man I remember seeing is sitting next to me with a smile
“Hey” he says golfing my forearm with his soft yet rough hands, I snatch my arm back moving further away from him to the other side of the bed and he sits up straight keeping his distance
“I’m not going to cause any harm Princess” my frown deepened as he sits there with a mutual face
“Who the hell are you?! Where’s my mother” I ask and he raises his eyebrows with a questioning look
“Your mother? Mrs Bishop?” He questions and I nod
“Sorry Princess but we do not know, we took you just outside the airport and brought you here” I frown at him lifting my blanket
“Where’s here?!” My knuckles go white from my clenching
“Welcome to Rome Princess”
“What?! Stop calling me princess! It’s Maya!” I fold my arms at him and he stands and bows
“As you wish Maya” he stands tall again and holds his hands out and I stare is absolute boredom
“What?” I ask
“Please follow me to the dining hall as we are about to have lunch to welcome you into our family” I hit his hand away standing up on my own
“I’m not going anywhere with you!” I walk towards the doors to the hall and see two tall and sharp looking men
“Buonasera Principessa” I raise my eyebrows in confusion ‘Italian?’
“What?” I ask and they repeat themselves in English
“Good afternoon Princess” and I immediately frown AGAIN
“It’s Maya!” They stare behind me to the stranger still in the room and I turn walking towards him grabbing his arm and pushing him out the door closing the doors right behind him
“Maya you must come down please….. the executioner will be here and we must attend”
“No!” I sit back on the bed folding my arms and I hear that handsome man sigh
“My name is Andrea…. Andrea Deluca and I am the son of Vincenzo DeLuca and little brother to the executioner Carina Deluca….. you’re the first daughter of Lane Bishop and Katherine Bishop, older sibling to Mason Bishop who have passed…. I don’t know about your mother just yet but for you I will tell you when I know something I promise you!” I cry hoping my mother is okay somewhere but deep down I know something is wrong, something isn’t right
“You must attend this lunch Maya… you don’t have a choice or you will be forced… there are clothes in the walk in closet just to the left of you and I will be back in 15 minutes to collect you to take you to the dining hall” I fall back on the bed and hear them leave
I stand creeping my way to the door planning my escape but the second I open the door there are men just standing there staring at me and I slam the door rolling my eyes
“Guess I’m not getting out of this one” I sigh making my way to the closet and look through everything and surprisingly everything is in my size, from casual to dresses and tuxedos? Even the shoes but there are soooo many!
I go for a casual wear and there is no way in hell I’m just changing! I’m showering and a long shower! What’s he going to do? Drag me out naked? Please!
Once I’m done and out of the shower i make my way into the room and there’s a knock at the door
“Maya it’s Andrea” I roll my eyes and continue changing
“I’m getting changed” I’ve gone for light washed jean shorts and a casual solid black tank top and because it’s hot here I don’t want to dress too much, almost an hour later I’m dressed opening the door with a smirk on my face
Andrea stands there in black dress pants and a black shirt with a leather jacket and boots
“Shoes Maya?” I shrug at him and he sighs walking into the room straight into the closet and then comes out not even a minute later with black loafers and black Pumas with socks in his other hand
“Pick one….. floors marble Maya you’ll get sore feet eventually” I sigh pointing at the Pumas and I take the socks from his hands and he gets down on his knees to put my shoes on
Once he’s done he stands tall, face mutual as usual and I nod
“Thank you” I say and he bows his head and holds his arm out
“We must go now my lady, everyone is waiting for you” I sigh grabbing his arm and I beg him all the way to the other side of the house not to leave my side
“Andrea I’m serious! Please” he shakes his head and sighs
“My lady….. you must understand some things…. I’m a man in charge of my own people, my father is too ill to handle all of this and my sister was chosen by all our people to be the executor, I cannot keep you away from my sister if she chooses to speak to you but I can if it’s anyone else, my sister is the highest rank and no one can ever go against her”
“I can” I stop us from walking and Andrea stops with me
“My lady-“
“What’s with this?! It’s Maya!” I fold my arms and he just stands there patiently
“Your father calls you princess and he insisted that we call you princess and you’re also the lady of your own, they will call you My Lady as your father requested” I roll my eyes at him
“Please, we must go!” he raises his arm out again and we start walking
“It’s the house… it’s too big it’s taking us hours just to get to the other end” he smirks down at me
“Is my lady complaining?” I laugh at him and I crack a beautiful smile from this handsome man as he opens the door
“Please…. After you my lady” I slide my hands down his arm to his hands
“Thank you” I step into the room and freeze up, Andrea walks in behind me pushing his firm body against my back encouraging me to walk further into the room
“Everything will be okay” he whispers into my ear and I sigh, there are 3 people in this room and they all stare back at us (more like me) except the woman with her back to us, she looks ahead and waits for us to come around, once I’m a little closer to the table everyone but this other woman stands and bows their heads
“Sorella, Maya è qui” he pulls the seat out and I stand in front of it remaining standing not understanding why everyone’s standing and their heads are bowed
“Please” I hear come from that beautiful woman at the top of the table and I start fidgeting
“Uhhh”
“Sit down” she commands and I do, I sit but why do I have to be next to her? She looks like she bites
Once I’m seated, everyone around us sits at the table and this fine, beautiful woman picks up a pancake I was eyeing and puts it on my plate
“Please Princess help yourself” everyone stops moving except the lady sitting across from me but I don’t care, her accent is so strong and so sexy
“Uh thank you?” I question and she just sits there with a mutual face
“Sorella, preferisce essere chiamata Maya, non le piace nemmeno essere chiamata mia Signora e odia decisamente la Principessa” Andrea speaks up next to me eating his eggs and this beautiful woman just stares into my soul
“I’m…. I’m Maya” I smile at her and she doesn’t move an inch, she continues staring at me
“Carina, Carina Deluca” I nod slowly at her and she just looks down at her food, then mine
“Please, eat up” she requested and I just nod at her picking up my fork
“Ciao I’m Gabriella” the lady across from me comments and waves at me and I awkwardly wave back at her
“Maya” I reply and this beautiful woman just smirks and looks at Carina
“Mi piace questa donna” she comments and when I look at Andrew, he just rolls his eyes
“I’m Amelia Shepherd, the family doctor” I nod at her noticing her accent, but then it hits me again…. I’ve seen her somewhere
“We’ve met?” I ask her and she nods at me
“Grey Sloan and Joes Bar” she nods back at me and I smile at her
After their lunch and my breakfast they take me straight back to my room and told me not to leave, but me being me…… I’m not staying in this room that’s literally bigger than my apartment… I need air!
When I asked the guards to leave or at least walk with me they shook their heads
“Sorry my lady but you must stay put so they know where you are when they request your presence” I roll my eyes
“Okay thank you” I close the door and walk straight for the balcony looking around
The ground isn’t that far, maybe a few floors but I can climb, so I do, I climb down the side of the house and run straight for the garden, there aren’t that many people around, maybe just some maintaining the garden but that’s it, they stare confused then bow their heads at me
Once I make it to a fountain in the middle of the garden I sit on it sighing and rubbing my face
How the hell did I get here? I can’t do this! What is my role here? Why am I here? Mom told me the Deluca wanted me? Do they want to marry me? will they force me? So many questions
Was my life all a lie? What did she mean 19 isn’t who I think they are? I start to struggle a little trying to control my emotions, I don’t think they would’ve known I am on mood stabilisers and it’s been at least a couple days since I’ve had my last
I’m losing my shit, that is until I stand up and throw a stone as hard as I can at a tree and sigh, I really need that stabiliser
Once I calm myself I walk off again in the garden that goes so deep and so far from the mansion thinking, that is until I hear footsteps near me so I hide behind a tree
Two guards walk past but they stop a few feet away from me, then I see Andrea and he pauses near me and faces away from me
“Maya” I stand still not saying a word
“My lady you’ve been summoned to my fathers office, I cannot leave without you” he looks around at first but then turns and fully faces me staring at me
“Please step out, I will not hurt you” I step out closer to him and he holds his hand out to me and helps me over a log
“I don’t want to go” I fold my arms staring up at him
“You must go, he wants to prepare you for your future” I frown at him
“I don’t want this! I don’t choose this life! I want out Andrea! This is not who I am okay?! I am the youngest captain in my state! I love my job” he sighs walking towards me and standing a little behind me and nudges me to follow a guard so I do
“You’re the youngest captain because the Bishops made that happen” I shake my head not believing a word he said
“I was denied the first time” I state and he smiles at me
“And when you requested to be captain, was that same chief there or was that slot taken by another?” I stare wide eyed at him
When I requested a second time it was Chief Ross and she gave it to me, I studied hard for it! Was the olympics a lie too? Surely not, you cannot fake a race, was my academy all a lie?! I told my father I wanted to be a firefighter and he done everything in his power to make that dream happen! I told him I wanted to be captain and he encouraged me to study for it and I did! I think it’s fair, I’m 26 and I know that’s impossible to achieve at a young age
“Andrea how old are you?” I ask and he just continues walking behind me
“I am 27 my lady” I nod and stop, turning around facing him
“How old is your sister?” I ask
“She’s 31” huh…. A lot older than me, the Deluca siblings are really handsome
“Am I here to marry you?” He shakes his head
“I cannot tell you my lady but we must walk on, my father isn’t a very patient man” I frown at him folding my arms
“I don’t care what your father is! He will not rush me” Andrea sighs at my stubbornness
“My lady-“
“No!” I sit on a bench not so far from us
“You are the ones that took me from my home! You want me here! I don’t want to be here!” I raise my voice as I stare into his eyes, my patience running thin ‘I really need my drugs’
“My lady if you do not move I will carry you there” he looks behind us for a moment which makes me turn but there’s no one there, when I look back at him he steps closer
“Don’t touch me!” I fold my arms tighter around myself and he sighs
“Sorry my lady” he grabs my arms and immediately throws me over his shoulder and I kick and hit him as hard as I can
“Let me go Andrea!” I fight him off but he doesn’t budge, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up!!
Once we’re in the mansion he puts me down and the guards drag me deeper into the house
“Let me go!” I get one arm free and I go straight for his manhood and he folds and I kick kneeing him straight in the face and turn sliding under the next guards legs hitting the back of the knee and he falls
I wrap myself around him choking the hell out of him until I’m physically grabbed by other guards and I continue to fight as Andrea shakes his head
My anger is screaming at me, it’s taking over every inch of my body! I’m physically thrown onto a seat in front of a massive desk and a scary looking man but as of right now….. this man doesn’t scare me at all!
“Calmati Maya” he says to me and my anger consumes me
“I don’t fucking speak Italian old man!” Someone grabs my hair pulling my head back and I grit my teeth
He raises one hand and whoever had my hair in their hands steps back but I’m still angry that this guard touched my hair! I turn around and give him one punch in the throat and watch him stumble
“Fuck you!” I’m about to stand and kick this man’s ass but a gentle yet very firm hand is placed onto my shoulder and I snap forward ripping that hand off me
“Don’t fucking touch me” when I look back it’s the man that was on the other side of the desk holding mood stabilisers in his hands
“Calmati Maya…. Be calm” he says to me
“My name is Vincenzo Deluca” he smiles down at me dropping the pills into my hands and I put it in my mouth, he hands me a water bottle and Andrea stands next to me bowing his head to his father
“Andrea siediti, abbiamo delle cose da discutere” I watch him nod and take a seat waving off the guards to stand outside, this man doesn’t look sick
“Maya, from this day forward you will not be returning to Seattle” I grit my teeth at him
“What makes you think that?!” I’m still seething! It hasn’t kicked in
“You have bigger responsibilities now”
“I DIDNT ASK FOR ANY OF THIS!! I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS LIFE!!” No matter how angry I get, they just remain calm and it pisses me off!
“Whether you asked for it or not it is in your blood to carry on your fathers legacy, we are building an empire Maya” I just look away from him staring at the books on the shelves
This room screams attention, walls are a dark brown with a massive bookshelf behind him, desk is also a massive yet very oak colour with matching leather furniture all around with 2 tall windows at our sides, behind us is a leather couch with a coffee table and near the other end is a table with 6 seats around it and then the two massive double doors I didn’t see
“You like? You have one of your own in yours as well, you also have your fathers room that is in here as well Maya” I look back at him wide eyed
“My father was here?” I ask and he nods at me
“Yes, I can take you to his office when you’re ready Maya, he would come here and work with us, he was a good man” I sigh finally calming down
“Has anyone heard anything about my mother” I watch the man’s face slightly change….. only a little and he shakes his head. I just caught this man’s lie
“No” I nod at him
“I’d like to leave” he shakes his head
“You may leave, but you will not leave the premises” I glare at him
“Why are you keeping me here?!” He stands at his full height glaring down at me
“I am dying Maya and I will not let my empire fall! You will marry into this family and you will carry my grandchildren before we can let you go!” I stand as well not scared at all
“I am not your bitch!! I will leave! I will find a way and I will leave!” I smile a wicked smile
“Then you will marry my daughter and Id love to see you try to leave” I fold my arms tight
“I leave!” I yell and Andrea stands
“You will marry and we will do the heavy lifting Maya, you just sit around and be the princess you are” Vincenzo replies and I drop my arms and ball my fists up
“I am nobody’s princess! You didn’t even know I existed!” My frown deepens so hard I feel a headache coming on
“No, I didn’t know you were Lanes, nobody knew Lane had a kid until Mason came along” I tense at my brothers name being mentioned
“There was no way they could hide the fact Mason wasn’t Lanes but they did with you, it wasn’t until one of my own men came to you and saw pictures in your house, you told her the next morning when she asked” I stare shocked
I had a selfcare that I found weird for asking those questions, I woke up to that woman making us breakfast and she asked if that was my biological father and I laughed and said “yes, why?” But she didn’t reply, then she told me my mother was beautiful and I thanked her for it and continued on with a selfcare Thursday I don’t normally do
“We done a DNA test that same afternoon and proved you are Lane Bishops kin” I roll my eyes at him
“When we went to go ask where you lived, she wasn’t alive” he replied confusing me
“I’m leaving and you will have to force my hands to marry any one of your kids or hold children!!” I turn around walking away
“Then by force it is Maya” I swipe a tray off the coffee table and it clatters on the floor
But the second I walk out those doors I turn a corner and walk straight into someone
“Ooof” I huff out and I feel arms wrap around my waist steadying me and a flowery scent invade my space
It smells familiar
“Princess” I immediately look up and glare at this beautiful woman ‘Carina!’ I try to take a step back but her arms are keeping me from going anywhere
“Let me go!” I push her stomach and she stares into my eyes, she has beautiful brown eyes
“Say please” she says naturally and my frown deepens
“No!” I push her harder but she doesn’t budge, wrapping her free hand around my throat and squeezes
“Say please Princess” she husks and her grip tightens around my neck and I refuse to give in
“No!” I know I’m stubborn but I refuse to do as I’m told! I will not listen to them!
Except right now! Shes choking me
“I’m only going to say this one more time princess. Say please” she whispers and I struggle, my vision blurring, I’m about to pass out
“Ple- please!” She let’s go of me and I start coughing and struggling to catch my breath
I feel her run her fingers through my hair tucking a strand behind my ear
“Was that hard” she whispers in my ear and I stand pushing her away from me
“Don’t you dare come near me!” I step back and she steps forward
“We need to work on those manners when you speak to me Princess, now bow your head” she smirks and I refuse walking backwards away from her
“No!” I bump into someone and when I look back, it’s Andrea
“Ahhh Sorella! Papà vuole vederti” Andrea replies and I move slightly behind him shielding myself from Carina
“We will work on that as well Princess” she stares down at me
“It’s Maya!” She smirks at me and I want to smack it right off her face
“Okay princess” i watch Andrea bow to his sister
“Like that princess” she points at her brother and takes her leave into her fathers office closing the door herself
I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding
“What happened my lady?” Andrea asks and I get angry all over again
“She choked me!” I walk off and he sighs talking to the guards that are usually outside my room, they follow me as I walk this whole house trying to calm myself down
Carina irritated me! Yet she’s so beautiful, especially today! She was wearing a black long sleeve turtleneck with black dress pants and heels, at our lunch table I only got to see her top as it was just a plain black dress shirt and I heard her heels under the table
Once I find a place to sit I ask to at least be alone near the pool and they grant me that standing just near the step that goes down to the steps to an open field
I take my shoes off and pull my clothing off until I’m in my underwear and bra jumping straight into the pool calming my nerves, I do a few laps before I come up and rest at a corner with my eyes closed
“My lady” I hear Andrea speak and I sigh ‘just 5 more minutes!’ I yell at myself in my head
“What?” I look up at him and he holds a towel out to me
“Can you hang it over on the chair and turn around please” he nods at me putting the towel down and walks into the house
Once I’m out though I stand at my full height and see Carina staring at me, she has her shades on but I know she’s looking so I glare at her and throw that towel around me flipping her a middle finger, when she smirks I lose my temper all over again
I storm over to her and she just stands there, I look up at her beautiful face and grit my teeth
“What’s funny Carina!” She tucks the edge of the towel into my cleavage and I hit her hands away from my body and catch the towel as it was falling off my body
I’m not giving her the satisfaction of seeing any part of my body
“I see you haven’t learnt to bow princess” she grips my throat fast again giving me no time to step back and I grip her wrists glaring
“Carin-“ my air is cut off as she pulls me closer by the neck closing the gap between us
“You have a very beautiful body” she whispers into my ear and I tuck my fingers into her hand that’s wrapped around my neck hoping she doesn’t force me to bow my head just yet or start choking me again
“Right now is the part where you say thank you” I pull my head back staring at her
“Fuck you!” I prepare myself for the choking of my life but it doesn’t come
“Carina niente più giochi, lasciala andare” Andrea replies and she lets me go, yes she’s the attractive sibling but I would rather marry Andrea if she’s going to be like this! ‘I know I’m definitely lying’
I walk off further into the house to my room and I hear the guards follow me
Once in my room I slam the door and head straight for the shower washing the chlorine off my body and Carinas touch!
Once out I dress into a casual outfit, shorts and a tight tank top
“I need to get laid” I sigh falling on the bed and literally think about it, I’m positive I can get someone into this room for a quick fuck to release all this tension
As if god heard my cries there’s a knock on the door
“My lady” it’s a woman
“Come in” she steps in and it is! A woman that seems slightly older than me, she bows her head and pushes a tray into the room
“Carina has requested to send you sweets” I stare at her with hungry eyes ‘you are very sweet’
“Please, come in! Stay?” I raise my eyebrows and she looks up at me
“Bailey”
“Bailey…” I repeat after her and she blushes
“Please come in, close the door” she does as shes told and steps closer towards me with her trolley…. I will release tension tonight with their own staff whether they like it or not and that I do until early hours in the morning with Bailey
“You do not like touch my lady?” She asks and I shake my head
“No” I end it there and she leaves with her trolley and it’s like that for the next couple days but everyday is someone different
When I’m summoned to dinner I go and sit with the Deluca household and then leave, they always send someone up to tend to my needs and they don’t mean those needs
They sent a man up thinking I won’t go there but I did, I seduced him as well as the woman who seemed to be the age of 40
If they’ll sleep with me then that I’m doing but not once was I touched! I will not allow anyone to touch me
Once they leave I tend to my own release fucking myself! Without my pills I need a different kind of release! They don’t give it to me when I really need it!
The next couple mornings though I’ve decided to join the family and have breakfast, today Lucia will be returning from the states and I’ll be meeting her, I go for casual wearing grey dress shorts and a matching halter neck top
Once I step out the door though Carina and Andrea are standing there waiting for me and I immediately fold my arms glaring at Carina still not over her beautifulness and the way she grabbed at my throat
“You’re very noisy at night time Maya when your sex slaves leave” she smirks at me and it irritates me
“They’re not sex slaves Carina! They’re human beings that tend to my needs! And I don’t like to be touched!” I say through gritted teeth and she just stands there calm as ever pissing me off further more, I desperately need my drugs!
“Whatever you say princess” she steps closer to me and I try to take one step back but she grabs my arm pulling me towards her
“Are you tending to your own needs princess? Would you like some help?” She whispers into my ear and I push her away from me
“You will definitely not touch me Carina!” I yank my arm out of her hold and she grabs me again pulling me towards her body by my waist
“Andrea!-“ I stare at him fuming
“Carina” she let’s me go immediately and sighs
“Manners Maya” she stands tall in front of me in her maroon turtle neck, black dress pants and heels and I just fold my arms
“Here are your manners Carina…..” I stand on my tip toes wrapping my hands behind her neck whispering
“Fuck you!” I let her go walking past her and I hear both of them following behind me
Once we’re at the table Carina sits right next to me and that pisses me off! She usually sits at the top of the table
She leans over grabbing the back of my neck pulling me towards her but because I fight her, she slide her fingers through my hair pulling it and pulls me towards her
“Ouch!” I say through gritted teeth and her grip gets tighter
“Listen Maya! You will learn to bow your head tonight! You will not get anyone tonight or the next until I am satisfied!” She whispers releasing her hold and I pull back shifting my seat away from her but she grabs the bottom of my seat moving me closer to her
The second Vincenzo walks in everyone stands and out of respect for her father so does Carina but he waves her off, then a beautiful older woman walks in thanking Vincenzo ‘wow that must be Carinas mother’
Carina grabs my arm forcing me to stand up and I complain, Carinas mother walks straight over to her
“La mia bella! Oh, sei bellissima” she bows and grabs Carinas face kissing her cheeks and then looks passed her staring at me
“ah il tuo tipo, chi è questa bella donna accanto a te tesoro mio?” Carina looks at me with a mutual expression then Vincenzo comments
“Sarà la moglie di Carina tra una settimana” he walks passed us to the other end of the table holding a chair for his wife I guess
“Loro lo sanno?” she stares firm making her way to her son kissing his head
“Tua figlia aveva ragione sul perché Maya dovrebbe sposare un boia, amore mio” all I hear was my name so I stand there folding my arms, that is until Carina spoke up
“Maya doesn’t understand Italian yet mama” her confidence in ‘yet’ done it, I frown at her and Vincenzo smiles at the scene
“è testarda come l'inferno, amore mio, sfide Carina” I look at Lucia and she smiles at me
“Come ho detto, il suo tipo” she stares at Carina and Carina rolls her eyes
“Please Maya, sit down” I look back at Carina who remains standing and I frown at her, she leans closer to me whispering in my ear
“You’re learning fast” I nudge her away from me turning to her mother like a sulking child
“Bambina lasciala stare, sit Maya do not listen to Carina” I glare at Carina but she just stares challenging me
I sit which pisses her off and I enjoyed that look very much
“Your mother said I could sit” I challenge her and Carina sits next to me gripping my thigh
“My mother and father can do what they please, but you Maya! You listen to me!” I nudge her away from me again and Lucia picks her cutlery up as breakfast is served on the table, I get pancakes and I’ll die happy eating these, they’re delicious
“Bambina lasciala stare!” Lucia growls Carina? Because she leans away from me picking her own cutlery up cutting a piece of pancake on my plate putting it towards my mouth, I bite it keeping the peace for now and get to know her mother more as I watch the 2 woman I believe is Carinas best friend and doctor chat and flirt with me across from us
Once breakfast is done I excuse myself from the table irritated at Carina but she stands following me
“Carina I excused myself to get away from you!” I continue walking and I bump into Bailey
“Bailey” I smile at her and she returns the smile, she was about to say something to me but saw Carina standing behind me immediately bowing her head and excusing herself
I turn glaring at her “your presence is scaring the people”
She rolls her eyes folding arms “She works here and lives near the premises, these grounds are not my grounds, they’re Andreas, she can stay if she pleases” she steps closer to me and I back up from her
“But I will not allow you to sleep with that woman again” she drops her arms and I hit a wall
“You will not tell me what to do” I fight back
She grabs my neck and steps closer till there’s barely any space between us, with her heels she’s so much taller than me!
She tilts my head back still gripping my neck a little tighter
“You will not sleep with that woman again! I do not like this first name bases!” She growls and I grab her wrist that’s wrapped around my neck
“And you will not tell me what to do!” I growl back and she grabs my hands holding them over my head, her grip is strong
“Carina!” I put my leg up trying to knee her in the hip to move her but she slots her knee between my legs making me pause
“Carina” I half moan and she smirks
“Behave Maya, what’s the magic word?” I slip a hand out pushing her stomach but she raises her leg
“Don’t touch me Carina!” I try move her legs away from me but she doesn’t budge
“Carina” I stare into her eyes in panic begging her not to touch me and she removes her leg immediately and I break out of her hold pushing her hard
“Fuck you! Don’t you ever touch me!” She stares at me not fazed at all and that pisses me off, this time though when I walk away she doesn’t follow me
First thing I do is shit on her words, I find Bailey and we fuck in the guest room
She will not tell me what to do and disrespect me! I do not like being touched and she went and done it!
“You okay Maya?” Bailey asks and I nod
“How did you end up here?” I ask her and she sighs
“I was only young when my mom came to take care of the Deluca household, they take good care of me when I’m here, they’re paying for my studies! I want to be a doctor when I can and they’re supporting it! Amelia helps me as well and Miss Carina Deluca” I stare wide eyes
“Carina helps you?” I ask and she nods
“Miss Deluca use to be an OBGYN, she wanted to be an OBGYN but her father fell ill and she pushed her career aside to take care of this family, but when Lane Bishop killed the executioner Carina was voted as the people’s person to become the next Executioner”
“What’s the role of an executioner?” I ask her and she smiles up at me getting changed ‘Lane killed the executioner?’
“To make sure everyone is playing fair and not disturbing the public eye just for attention, if you’re caught disrupting the public or civilians or get them involved, then you will be killed instantly or she will wipe out the whole clan and there is nothing anyone can do about it” I sigh
“She’s kind to us, she takes good care of us Maya, I respect her” I rub my eyes regretting what I just done
“Tell me what’s wrong?” She tucks a stray hair behind my ear
“She told me not to sleep with you, she doesn’t like that I know your name” I feel her tense up
“I’m sorry but I have to go” I stand with her changing so fast and following her out the door
“Wait” I stumble a little down the hall trying to catch up with her and once I turn towards the front door she bumps straight into Carina who was talking to her brother
“Oh sorry” Bailey bows her head and Carina just smiles at her ‘creepy…. It’s a nice smile’ but the second Carina makes eye contact with me she already knew
“Maya!” Is all she said to me with a slight frown and I tense, Carina has never said my name before but I stand tall
“What?!” I challenge her and Bailey keeps her head down shaking, I step forward towards Bailey
“Do not lay hands on her Carina” I put my hand on Baileys back and Carina stares at my hand
“Get your hands off her” Carina growls and for Baileys safety I listen to her
Instead of doing something about it, Carina walks out the door alone into her car and I sigh, Andrea gets my attention
“My lady, Lucia has requested to see you” I sigh nodding turning around ready to head towards Vincenzo’s office but he stops me
“She’s at Carinas” I get uncomfortable at that
“I don’t want to go there, she can control me there” he sighs
“She can do that here as well my lady, she just cannot control my people, please get in the car” I shake my head so Andrea looks back at the car shaking his head
Carina steps out angrier than I’ve ever seen her and slams the door walking around
“Get in the car!” She roughly pulls the door open
“Make me Carina” I fold my arms and she calms herself some how and stares back up at me with a mutual expression
“Get in the car now princess” she stands there patiently and it pisses me off more but I stand my ground
But the second she starts walking up the stairs I smile at her, she stands in front of me with her own wicked smile and I still stand my ground
“I said no Carina, make me” she sighs running her hands up my arm and I shiver grabbing a hold of my neck knowing she’d grab it if and when she has the chance to but when she smiles at me, I knew she didn’t care
She roughly grabs my jaw standing behind me, my body pressed against hers walking me towards the car
“You’re hurting me” I lie straight through my teeth and she knew it
“I said get in the car!” She says calmly grabbing my hair and shoving me in the car
To add dramatic effect she slams the door and walks around hoping in on the other side calmly and motions the driver to drive and I sit there folding my arms staring at the flowers in the middle of us and a gift bag?
“What are those Carina!” I ask with an attitude and she just shakes her head
“They’re yours Maya, I was going to apologise for my behaviour” she looks back at me
“But now I don’t want to anymore”
I get angry at her
“I still deserve an apology Carina!” I growl through my teeth and she just sits there calm as ever like I’m not bothering her at all
She moves me closer to her putting her arm around me and resting her hands on my thigh
“Are you going to bow to me my princess” I lean away from her but she doesn’t let go
I stare up at her, faces only inches apart “no” I smile at her leaning away again and she smiles at me and that irritates me
“Do you enjoy pissing me off Carina? Do you get off on it?” I fold my arms and I feel goosebumps run through my whole body when I feel her smile against my cheek
I lean into her without knowing it and she runs her lips under my ear and over my neck touching my weak spots, I sigh calming down
“I do enjoy fucking myself thinking about you my princess” I roll my eyes looking at her again pushing away
“You don’t like that?” She asks and I move to the other side of the car to stare out the window not giving her the satisfaction of touching me one bit but I was proved wrong when she grabs ahold of my thigh again because I let her!
”Where are we going Carina” I ask staring out the window
”Sicily” she says
What a long ride this is going to be!
