Sold to the mafia boss

I thought about changing back into my clothes but I knew Graziella would come back into the room before I’m able to do that. So I picked up the ends of the clothes and turned back to Emily.

“There’s a way through the parking lot inside the hotel, this way” she called and I quickly followed her.

As we made our way out, I kept an eye out for Graziella, while still trying to hide my face from the rest of the few people seated around. I knew it was hard for any of Logan’s men who saw me in this white dress to not recognize me. I knew he had given me all the privacy a bride to be needed before the wedding by allowing me alone here with the women. He had trusted me and never thought I’d do something like this.

The people seated at the lobby threw beautiful smiles at me, some even nodded at me. They all saw a beautiful bride about to get married, they didn’t know that I was there against my will and on my way to freedom. After returning their smiles, I got into the elevator with Emily.From NôvelDrama.Org.

I felt my body physically vibrating, my heart beat accelerating and my mind in a fuzzy. But Emily held onto my arm and I was glad she did. I didn’t trust myself to not collapse with all the fears.

The elevator stopped to drop some people a couple of times, and each time we made the stop, fear paralyzed me. Fear that the doors might slide open and Logan would be standing right there, waiting to grab me.

My heart nearly leaped out of my chest through out the ride and I was able to keep it down there when we stepped out at the underground garage.

” This way” Emily called hesitantly while grabbing my hand and pulling me towards a door that lead to the outside. The garage was awfully silent, rid of people but I didn’t care. I was about to be free and that’s all that matters. I could imagine Graziella looking for me right now. Would she get the hint that I’d run away and called Logan? Or would she assume I’d just stepped out for a bit and would definitely be back? I prayed for the latter.

As we stepped out into the outside, the morning sun hit my skin and gave me this strange relief. I knew there wasn’t going back. I was finally free.

” The car is this way” Emily told me as we took the corner towards the next few blocks after the hotel. Between two house was a dark passage where an old green Toyota car was parked.

I couldn’t believe this was happening. For a second there when Emily pulled my hand and took me out of that garage, I’d weighed my trust in her, it had actually crossed my mind that she could be betraying me and taking me back to Logan. But I’d been wrong.

She’d heard my pleas and felt my pain when I’d told her at my place and she’d helped me even when she barely knew me.

” Here” she lets go of my hand and picked a key from her jeans pocket. She puts it into my hands “you should leave now if you don’t wanna get caught”

I nodded and pulled her into a hug “thank you so much. I won’t forget this, I promise”

She pulls back after a while, her smile widened. She opens her mouth to speak but what happened next completely took my soul away from me. Her eyes widened just a split second, her smile faded and her lips hung open.

Everything happened so fast that I couldn’t actually get where the sound of the gunshot came from or where the blood that splashed over my face came from.

The next thing I knew, Emily’s eyes were turning into the back of her head and she was falling, unconscious.

My heart raced as she fell into my arms, blood oozing from the back of her head. That’s when I saw him. That’s when I saw Logan standing at the distance, his gun pointed towards me.

At first, I thought this could only be a fragment of my imagination, of my deepest fears. He didn’t just shoot Emily at the back of her head. This was a nightmare. But it wasn’t.

And all I could think about was that I’d led this girl to her death.

I screamed as I held her tight, falling to the ground with all her weight pulling me down to my knees. I continued to wail in sheer agony.

I didn’t know how fast Logan moved but in the next moment he was standing right in front of me, his gun pointed at me.

“You dare try to leave me again?!” He screamed, anger edging his voice. I managed to look up to find his eyes. They were full of anger. Anger I’d never seen before.

He was already dressed up in his expensive looking suits, looking well ready for our wedding.

Before I could put my thoughts together to get anything straight, he grabbed hold of my hair and pulled me up to my feet. I thought my hair detached from my scalp.

” Answer me!” He screamed into my face, the cold metal of his gun still pressed against my neck.

I felt pain, I felt this surge of energy. Because I was angry. I hated him for being such a monster. I hated him for killing this innocent woman because of me.

For the first time, I didn’t care about my life. I couldn’t care less if I died right this moment or not, so, I pushed him hard on the chest and he let go of my hair.

” You’re a monster!” Tears escaped my eyes. I couldn’t bear the pain, couldn’t bear the guilt.

Logan lifted his hand and slapped me across the face, and I stumbled back into the car.
