Mafia Kingpin: A Dark, Thrilling Organized Crime Romance

§ ELLIE §

I sat down on my bed, sobbing uncontrollably. It felt like the world was ending... I didn't see the point in being here anymore when I felt so fucking miserable.

I couldn't get over what that monster did to me. I couldn't believe he raped me. Why did I have to be so gullible and believe he was going to give me that money? I wish I had somebody to warn me. I needed to tell somebody about what happened, but I was afraid that nobody would believe me.

I drew a deep breath in, knowing I couldn't just stand in my room all day and cry about it. That prick needed to go to prison for what he did to me. I knew that going to the police about this would be the only way I'd get some form of closure... some form of justice. It would be the only way I would be able to move on... knowing he was rotting, knowing that he was being punished for what he did.

I flicked my phone open miserably, ready to dial 999. Before I did, some texts started blaring on my screen... and I almost froze in shock. It felt like the walls were closing in around me. Like I was suffocating.

I could barely breathe.

"No, no..." I cried.

There were several text messages from Dante, threatening me just as I was about to snitch on him...

You dare go to the police about this, and I will ruin your life you slut.

I have a recording of the things you did to please me.

One tap, and I'll have it posted online and it will circulate around the school.

We'll see how long your reputation lasts then.

And I will personally find you and kill you myself if you cause me any trouble.

I could feel my heartbeat raise through the roof, as I broke down into fresh tears. I felt so helpless, so fucking violated.

What was the point in living anymore if this was how I was going to live? Forever looking over my shoulder, forever fearing for my life, forever being miserable about the shit that had happened to me, forever being blackmailed, forever being threatened...
