The Latin Brotherhood

Chapter 11

- Where the hell were you , Zoe ? ,- Gabriel repeated .

- What do you mean ? ,- I asked trying to look as mad , when in reality I was just frustrated at him for being an asshole and at myself for being dumb . ,- I was here all the time , hanging out around the house .

- You mean whoring around the house ? ,- he bit back now getting up from the bed and striding with long steps in front of me .

- Whoring around the house ?! Well if you call me talking to people that live in this house that , then what the hell were you doing ? ,- Nevermind , now I was mad . I mean how dare he , it's something else to call a girl a slut in the bedroom , and another to call her one because she was talking to a boy .

- So that is what this is about ? me talking to Samantha ?

- You talking to Samantha ? No its not because of that , it's because you call me talking to another man "whoring" , when we haven't decided if we are in a relationship or not , but when you speak to other woman , and grope them , that is normal , wow !

- Who the fuck do you think you are talking to with that tone , Red ?,- I loved the way he called me "Red" , but hated it now , the way he said it seemed like a dagger he was throwing at me , like right now he just wanted to make me suffer , to kill me , to spread his poison all over my body .Suddenly he seemed like he looked not even a month ago , when he ordered people to torture me , when he destroyed my life, when he ruined all there was left of the little girl , right now he seemed the same as my uncle , the same as all the man I have met at the club , hungry for power , hungry for dominance, hungry for money , hungry for sex , he seemed like any other man , and yet so much more , because this man did have the power and the money, he was the one in charge whether people liked it or not , and right now he was in charge of my life .

- You know what , you are right ,- I say , looking at him in the eye , fuck this asshole,- I shouldn't be speaking to my boss like this . If you have nothing for me to work on boss than I'd like to settle in for the night .

- What the hell are you talking about ,- Gabriel answerers with a confused look

- You were right , I shouldn't get mad what my boss does in his free time , or with his personal life . If you have no work for me to do than I will see you on our next meeting .

- Alright , goodnight ! ,- he said with a smirk that scared the living shit out of me , and then he left , only leaving his fucking words and attitude behind . I shouldn't have mistaken lust for likeness , or messed up the contract , I should have kept my head low , found a chance and get away from here , instead I got involved with an emotionally unavailable gangster , that has mood swings and a terrible coping system .

~~~~~~~~

Four days passed by , ninety six hours , five thousand , seven hundred and sixty minutes . That's how bored I had grown . I wasn't allowed to live the house , and the gardens were so heavily guarded , that I just spend the days in . At first the library , gym , and cinema were amazing , but after two days I grew bored out of my mind . It seemed that since I chose to treat Gabriel as my boss, like I should have treated him from the start , he chose to treat me just like he intended to in the beginning of our deal. I was allowed to go to the kitchen but not to speak to the stuff , or to hold any sharp or other objects that could be used as weapons , the windows in my room were shut closed and so much more shit that my "boss" had done to piss me off. I wasn't being a saint either, I refused to eat when he was there , I wouldn't look or speak to him , not more than a usual employee would .

- Zoe, Mister Gabriel is asking for you to go to his office ,- Olga was standing on the doorway with a warm smile in her face . Fuck , so much for dying out of boredness .

- Alright , I'm coming !

I walk towards the beast's cave , and knock once , twice , until I hear his roar of confirmation, because God forbid , you enter his territory without an approval , he will skin you and then eat every bit of you .

- You asked for me ? ,- I say the moment I enter not bothering for a " hello" , or "did you finally come to your senses? " .

- Sit down , I have a job for you .,- of course he did, because apologizing is a big , huge , fat "No" , like a forbidden territory he didn't want to cross . Maybe that should have been my first sign knowing that he completely ruined my life , and never apologized , especially after we went through together .

- What is it ?

- Just a simple mission , you will go with Venom , Killer and Noel . You will play the distracter as usual . ,- he passed me a folder, the face of a disgusting looking man stared right back at me , at least Lorenzo was hot . I saw his crimes , human trafficking , drug dealing , murders , raping cases , suspected in kidnapping of minors and so many other crimes , that made the first case seem like a dream . His name was Robert Woodcock , and I could swear I wouldn't have been able to find him a more suitable name .

- I have to distract this guy ? ,- I say giving Gabriel a look of disgust . Woodcock was 49 ,and while I loved an older man , this one made me want to puke .

- The mission is explained at the last page . Take your copy , look through it very well , and once you are done , give it to Carlos. ,- Carlos was the new main bodyguard that had replaced Antonio .

I went to my room and opened the folder's last page , just like Gabriel said there was the mission . It wasn't hard for me at all . I was going to pretend like I was Noel's date aka Zade Garvais. Zade had brought me (Bella Montagna ) there to give me off to Woodcock for his human trafficking business. I am supposed to be Italian , and act as if I don't know a lot of English , so that when I am addressed , noel will speak for me , or I will answer with gestures or simple Italian words such as "Si " ect. And then I make an excuse for the bathroom , which is in the direction of where Venom is staying acting as a waiter , in reality that is a secluded area , and Woodcock will follow me so that he can drug me , as it was planned with "Zade" , and then I give my sign which is lift my right arm up , Killer shoots , woodcock falls , Venom comes to get him away , I leave with Noel , easy .

I went through the plan a million times in my head as I got ready , when suddenly , I heard a notification from the "phone" that Gabriel gave me . I only had his number , so I was shocked to see that it was an unknown number .

UNKNOWN : Be ready in 30 minutes , darling .

ME : Who's this ?

UNKNOWN : ;)
