A MAFIA STORY: MY FATHER'S DEBT

Freedom

For some reason, I had lost hope. I was being starved here, Andrew had promised to starve me until I gave in to his ridiculous offer but I refused. It's been a week without food or water and I can barely even move.

I heard footsteps coming towards the cell where I had been chained and it was Abena. 

“Zola,” she whispered, unlocking my cell

“Are you here torture me even more?” I asked watching her come into the cell.

“Save your limited breath and eat,” she said and then proceeded to feed me.

I don't know why she is being nice to me. God knows if she poisoned the food but I was too hungry to consider those things anyway.

“Why are you helping me?” I asked as soon as I gathered enough strength.

“Because Andrew is a pathetic liar who lied to me but kidnapped you just to fulfill his stupid sexual fantasies,” she explained, giving me water.

She poured some pills into my hand and urged me to take them.

“The pills will give you strength. I drugged Andrew already, so he is fast asleep. I packed a bag of clothes and a little cash in it, take it and return to South Africa, as soon as you can.” She said,

“Your phone is in there too.” She added.

She pulled me up and led me to a room where I took my bath and got dressed as soon as possible. She disguised me as her friend who came visiting and waited with me outside till the Uber I ordered arrived.

“Are you going to be alright?” I asked her just as I was about to climb into the car.

“Yes, don't worry about me. Andrew is my husband.” She assured me and I left.

Abena already booked a flight back to South Africa for me. As much as I do not want to leave America, it's too unsafe for me and I have to find Barron.

After several hours of flight, I finally arrived in South Africa. I got my boxes and searched around for Barron who informed me that he was there already. It took some time before I could find him but as soon as I did, I was happy. 

I ran towards him and wrapped my hand around him, I couldn't control the tears that rolled down my eyes.

“Bella,” his voice was low and sweet.

“I was supposed to meet my friend and then I got kidnapped and taken to America and I was with…” I tried to explain myself but I was interrupted severally by my sobs.

“It's okay, it's okay. I was worried,” he said, pulling me closer.

Barron drove me to his home and After treating me to a much-needed meal, I went to sleep for hours maybe. I woke up to the bright lights illuminating the large bedroom I was in. I brushed my teeth and made my way to the kitchen, my stomach rumbling for something to eat.

Barron was in the living room, working on his laptop with a large box of pizza and orange juice in front of him.

“Hey, Babygirl,” A playful smirk formed on his face.

“What?” I smiled back.

“Nothing, do you want to talk to me?” He asked.

I spent the next hour explaining what happened to me the past few months and how I got here. I also omitted some parts of my story for personal reasons.

“I also have something to tell you,” Barron said, putting his laptop away and moving closer to me.

“Yeah,” I was curious about what he had to say and listened keenly.

“We are not twins,” he dropped the bomb.

Somehow it was a relief but I was also sad.

“How?” I asked him.

“We were born on the same day but I lost my mom, she was your mom's best friend so your mom took me and wanted to raise me with you as your twin but some of my mother's family were after me. Knowing how dangerous they were, Midge gave me to Eliza,” he explained.

Weird story.

“My mom,” I exclaimed. I had completely forgotten about her, she's not the best mother but she's still all I have.

“Midge is fine,” Barron responded. “Do you want to go see her?” He asked.

“No, I'm trying to avoid Tobias, I didn't succeed in getting what he asked,” I said and Barron simply nodded.

“There's a pool at the back of the house, do you want to join me?” Barron asked and I nodded.

“I'd be there,” I nodded.

After changing into swim trunks, I made my way to the pool. I have never had to swim so late at night and I loved the view. I sat at the edge for a bit, my legs in the water. Barron came closer to me and pulled me into the water. The sexual tension was unavoidable but I couldn't bring myself to cheat on Joseph. We didn't exactly end our relationship but I do not know if I'd ever get to see him again. 

I love him.

“Are you okay?” Barron asked his arms around my waist.

“Yes, I am,” I nodded.

He pulled me closer, crashing our lips. I liked it but I love Joseph, he noticed my hesitation and pulled away for a moment but I reignited the kiss. It got so intense that he loosened my bra and dragged my panties down. He pushed my head to the back softly, exposing my neck to himself, and sucked on it graciously.

“Do you want me to stop?” He asked.

“No, No” I whimpered, pulling him closer to myself. 

Our lips reunited in a kiss as he found a good position to wrap my legs around him and slowly slide his member in me.

“Fuck,” I whimpered, throwing my head to the back.

“Do you want me to fuck you?” Barron asked and I nodded. Just then, he began thrusting inside of me, making me relive every one of my sweetest memories with Joseph.

“Seph,” I moaned his name and didn't even realize I did until Barron stopped.

“What?” He pulled away from me completely.
