Mafia

Chapter 2

"Are you finally awake, TEDDY BEAR?" After Layla heard that voice, she finally knew who it was. It was her toxic ex-boyfriend. They were together for 2 and a half years. He was the sweetest boyfriend until she found out that she was part of the mafia and was the Mafia queen. After that, he started cheating on her like crazy and she wouldn't even try to hide it. He is the reason why she has trouble trusting anyone. They broke up after that and they never talked again.
Now she is in an abandoned warehouse, chained up and captured by her own ex. She is still struggling to get out of the chains. She has gotten out of many other chains when other mafia groups tried to capture her and kill her. It never worked since the chains were so weak and they never tied tight enough.
"No need to try and escape. I got those handmade so no one can escape them. Not even the strongest people or mafia can break out of them." said another very deep voice. "Take off the bag." the voice said to other people. Probably their guards. When they took off the bag, she saw who was speaking. It was her boss or shall I say, Zander. Leader of the Z gang.
"Wow, you finally caught me," she said with her head still down. "What are you going to do now? Torture me? Kill me? I will give you a shot to try anything. Just to let you know, I have had everything done to me. Try your best, nothing will happen.'' Layla said so confidently.
She also saw her brother standing behind him, or was it her brother? "Brother, what are you doing? Why are you standing with him? And why am I here?" Layla started questioning everything that was happening. Now she is scared that she was just beaten by the second-best mafia group. She was so scared because she didn't know if she could trust anyone anymore.
"Don't worry, Mi Amor. He won't do anything to you. But I will." said the ex. He had a bat in his hand and he started walking up to Layla. Before he could do anything, the guards stopped him. "Hey, why are you stopping me from beating the hell out of her? I need my revenge for her breaking up..." Before he could finish the sentence, the guards took the bat out of his hands and started beating him with it.
Zander walked up to Layla and lifted her head up. "Don't worry. No one will punish you. Only me. Either way, you will be back with your family real soon. Even your real brother." he said it in such a nice and condemning tone that she almost believed him. After coming back to her senses, she turned her head over to make Zander's hand fall off her face. "You're lying, I know you won't. Everyone I know will always lie to me after they find out that I am in the mafia."
"I am also in the mafia. I won't lie to you." With that statement, he untied Layla to set her free from the chains. Before she can escape, he puts her in handcuffs to make sure that she doesn't try to run away. "I know you by now," Zander said. "So, don't try to run away." He said that sentence in a very deep and mature tone.
He started dragging her to a big black car where she was put in. She sat in between two, very big bodyguards. Zander sat in the front of the car. After Zander entered, they put Layla to sleep with a little sleeping gas. Everyone else had a gas mask on. After 30 seconds of them putting the gas on, even Zander. She was confused as to why Zander was wearing a gas mask when he should be able to breathe through the gas without trouble. When Zander activated the gas, she tried holding her breath but she was knocked out immediately.
"Is she out?" Zander asked one of the guards. The guards carefully checked Layla to see if she was out cold and still breathing. "Yes sir, she is sleeping safe and sound. Her breath is still intact." the guard responded. Zander was pleased when he heard him say that. "Put the collar on her," Zander said the sentence with a very delighted tone. The guard put some type of collar on Layla's neck. It started beeping when they put it on her neck.
20 minutes later, they finally arrived at Zanders mansion. It's also in the middle of nowhere. They all get out of the car. One of the guards is carrying Layla on his shoulder. They enter the mansion where more guards are standing at the door waiting for him."Hello, sir." The guards said in unison. "Hello to all of you too." He said in just a nice tone. All of the guards were confused about why he was being so sweet. "Put this one in the chair in my room. This one is feisty but special." He said that while heading upstairs. Three guards followed him while the others stayed downstairs making sure no one came inside the mansion.
"I want all of the guards out of the house. You could be outside of the house but no one inside the house." Zander said it in such a deep and serious voice. "Now, sir, you know we can't do that. Especially with her here. We need to protect you." the guards said. The guards were trying to warn him of what might happen. "No worries. With that collar on her, she can't harm me in any way. So just take a break. All of you, Okay."
It's now 11:30 a.m., Thursday morning. Layla finally woke up from her long nap. She thinks it's currently 11 at night. She looks around and sees that she is not in the usual place where people would hold others. She thought that she would be held captive in a basement with a very uncomfortable chair. She is actually very comfortable and if she wanted she could go to sleep again. But she strived and tried to get out of the chains.
Surprisingly, she got out of the chains. She was confused as to why they were so easy to get out of when yesterday was so hard. "Why are they so easy today? If they accidentally left and changed it to the easy ones, then it's their fault." She didn't notice the collar on her neck. She left the room without knowing anything. She walked down the stairs. She tried to walk to the door when she heard someone say something.
"Where are you going Mi Amor?" The voice sounded so familiar so she turned around. She noticed that it was Zander. He was in a very fancy suit and ready to go to work. "Why are you leaving so soon? I thought you wanted to stay." Zander said in a very deep but sweet voice. "Why would I want to stay with you? You are just a weird mean and my enemy." Layla said in a very mad tone. She was still confused about why she was in his room and not in the basement. That's why he usually puts his prisoners.
"Now, why would you leave? Your parents didn't respond to my message." Zander said while smirking. Layla was frightened. "What did you send my parents?" Layla said while trying to back away towards that door. "Oh, nothing," said Zander. "I just sent them a little video message of me holding you captive. And if they don't surrender themselves to me, then I will kill both them and you in one night."
Layla was frightened. She didn't know if she should activate her fight or flight senses. She decided that it was best to run away. But when she turned around, Zander said something that made her stop in her tracks. "I wouldn't go outside if I were you." Layla was confused until he said something else. "You see, I have many guards outside that could tackle you down very easily. And if not, I hope you noticed that bracelet on your wrist." Zander said while pointing to her
Layla touched her neck and noticed the collar on her and she didn't even notice it. "By the looks on your face, I can see that you couldn't tell that, that was there but it's been on you the whole time we entered the car," Zander said. He started walking towards that couch with coffee in his hands and reached for a remote. But it wasn't for a TV. "What is this thing and why can't I take it off?" Layla said while struggling to take it off.
"It's a titanium collar. I got it handmade with some fun features. I thought why not try it on the other powerful mafia in the whole industry. So, I wouldn't want you to go outside or something will happen to you and you don't want anything to happen to that pretty face of yours." Zander said. Layla didn't listen and tried to escape from the house. Right when she stepped foot outside of the house, she was shocked in the neck.
The shock was so big that she passed out from it. He got up from the couch and carried her up the stairs while saying something. "I told you not to leave. It hurts very bad. I tried it as well and now I have a burn mark on my arm cause why would i harm my precious neck for that thing." He placed her on his bed. "Maid..Please change her into something." Zander said while leaving. " Leave the special outfit for another day, please. I have something planned for her."
"Yes sir," said the Maid. Zander walked out of the house. He walked to the guard house where all of the guards live. "Guards, please turn down the shock factor on the collar. I don't want my new toy to faint 24/7." And with that sentence, he entered the car and went to the company.
"Who turned the shock factor on 20? That collar made the boss's new person faint?" Everyone was quiet. "If no one responds, then everyone gets in trouble, even me." Someone in the crowd put their hands up. "It was me, sir. I just didn't like the feeling I got from this girl." The guard said. "That doesn't mean that you have to put her through torture just because you don't like her." The head boss started yelling at the guard for what he did.
After that "little" accident, The head boss and the guard both went upstairs to check on Layla. They knocked on the door to tell the maids that they were going to enter the room. "Come in. She is still sleeping." said The maid. Both guards entered the room. They say Layla on a chair, still sleeping, put into something else. "I think the master will like the outfit," said the maid. "Yes he will." said the guard. "Maam, this is one of our new guards," he said while pushing him up towards the maid.
"He has come to apologize and stay with Ms. Layla until Master comes back." the guard said. The other guard was so mad but he had to listen to him or else he would die. No one who works for any mafia can't leave. And if they do, they die. Besides that point, the boss guard left the room and the other stayed.
