The Lawyer Vs The Mafia (Mafia Series #2)

TRAITOR

Emerson's POV

"What the hell was that?" Vidalgo charged into the room slamming the door open and shutting it behind him just as hard.

I didn't respond I instead scooted to the far end of the bed, my knees tucked into chest. The moment I feared has finally come.

He has finally snapped and is probably going to do worse than Ivan-

Who am I kidding Ivan took it all from me, nothing this man can do would be worse. Death would be better than staying here with him, with the fear of his presence.

His presence alone makes this room feel 10 times smaller. He demands respect as soon as he enters the room just like Kieran.

But Kieran wanted me for himself. He wanted nothing but to protect me, maybe it began with lust, but he fell for me just like I did for him.

He would never do anything to hurt me this I know is a fact.

He will come for me.

But no matter how many times I keep repeating it to myself I can't be okay with the fact that he left me here.

I know- I know he told me to trust him but- it's so hard! It isn't hard to trust him, the difficulty I find in all this is staying here and away from him!

This bastard Vidalgo is treating me like a pawn in his stupid chess game! I cannot stand for this! I cannot just sit here like an object and wait for Kieran to rescue me.

The woman in me is demanding I swallow my fear and run. I know well enough how to get out of here, but I cannot trust that I will not run into Ivan.

I hate him and I want to gouge his eyes out, but I have a deep fear against him. He took my innocence from me without hesitation, he killed me inside for so long.

I tried to rid myself of his sick touch. I remember scrubbing at my skin until it was a red and raw.

I felt so dirty for so long, watching myself in the mirror hating my reflection. Hating that I could be so weak blaming myself for allowing him to break me, hurt me- destroy me!

He destroyed my self worth, he made me feel like a whore a worthless slut that was used for his own pleasure and my torture.

He got off on my pain he got off on the fact that he was taking exactly what he wanted.

And there would be no repercussions.

I would hit my stomach hard, repeatedly over and over again till dark viscous bruises formed. I wanted to be positive that I was not carrying his seed. I wouldn't know what to do if I had become pregnant with his child.

The safest place for me now in this house is this room. The doors lock on both sides and the only one who can enter is vidalgo because he has a key.

I just want Kieran to hold me in his arms and never let go.

But now I am starting to believe that my safety here has been compromised and vidalgo is no longer going to protect me.

I don't know what to say in order for him to continue to be on my side. I don't understand why my love for Kieran bothers him so much.

After all I am just a pawn to him!

"He left you here." He said while walking closer to the bed.

"Do you really believe he loves you?" He asked in a condescending tone.

"Huh? Come on nena... talk to me. I simply don't understand why you ran to him in an instant! You are just a pawn to him. He can have and I guarantee he has other woman."
