Previously in Chapter 4...

Finally, my emotions hit me full force like a truck and all my anger, frustration, and sadness pours out, I walk over and yank open the curtains to a balcony that connects to the balcony on the kitchen, past the balcony is a beautiful breathtaking view of the water. I look down at the ground and take notice we are located on a beach against a huge body of water. "If we are still in Chicago we are on Lake Michigan, but I mean who the hell even knows what is going on anyway?" I pull open the doors and step on to the balcony and the brisk bitter chilly air of winter wraps around my body, "Definitely not on the ocean it's too cold for that, I must still be in Chicago." I look over at a set of lawn chairs, two chairs and one table, but decide against sitting and go lean against the railing, I look forward at the water and burst into tears, "How could this happen to me? I don't even understand, I just want to go home!" I scream out to nobody. I have tears streaming down my face and the wind is blowing my hair all over the place and I glance down to look at the patio below me to see Mr. ABC and about six men staring straight at me. The look on Mr. ABC's face is the coldest hateful look I've ever seen and I see his hand twitch on his gun...

..Beginning of Chapter 5

My heart begins to race beyond belief in my chest, so much so that I think I could possibly go into cardiac arrest. I swallow back up my tears and pushing the wet pieces of hair that are stinking to my face behind my ear, I wrap my arms around myself while biting my lip. Standing in a circle below me are seven men all glaring up at me, Mr. ABC is closet to me dressed in a black suit wearing a maroon dress shirt underneath and to his left is a man dressed in a black suit but wearing a grey maroon dress shirt, while the rest of the men are wearing suits with white dress shirts.

My eyes advert from Mr. ABC's hand to the man wearing the grey button-up when he speaks up, "It's going to snow in an hour or so I would go clean yourself up and settle in for the night." He says to me but it feels more like a command than anything, I nod slowly and glance back over to Mr. ABC before turning and walking the other direction back to the bedroom I was so graciously given, note the sarcasm.

I tug open the double doors to my bedroom and walk right in slamming the doors behind me then leaning against them and sliding down until I am in sitting position. "This can't be it, there has to be more to my life than this!" I cry for what seems like hours before gathering myself and pulling myself up and walking into the bathroom. I walk over to the sink and take notice of my frail body and broken face, my skin is a dull peach color and my lips are so white you can barely seem them, you can see straight through to my soul which is no longer there.

My head juts towards the huge walk in shower and I take notice of my choice of shampoos and smell goods. I tug off my old dust covered clothes and make my way over to the show before opening the floor to ceiling glass door and stepping in and turning on the water to hot, I sit on the tiled bench created four feet from the shower stream while I wait for it to warm up. My body sulks into the bench and look up at the ceiling with tears in my eyes, "I spent my entire life turning my dreams into reality and then some men come in a destroy YEARS of my hard work in a matter of five minutes." I shake my head, "I need to get out of here."

I finish washing up in the shower and tug on the warm fluffy white robe and make my way to the sink. I open the first two drawers on the left, "Hair ties...bobby pins...nope nothing in here." I step to the right and pull open that drawer, "Ah hair brush check...hair straightener check...curling iron check...now just for the blow dryer." I crouch down and pull open the vanity cabinet doors, "Here we go! Blow dryer!" I take out the hair brush and blow dryer and plug them in before yanking the hair brush through my freshly washed but exceptionally knotty hair. Once I have completely brushed through my dark brown hair I turn the blow dryer on a dry my hair which takes me about ten minutes because my hair is so thick and long. After I dry my hair I plug in the curling iron to touch up a few pieces of my hair that haven't already dried completely curled. I step out of the steam filled bathroom back into the bedroom and find a small stack of clothes folded perfectly on the corner of the bed. I walk over and next to the pile of clothes is a brown wooden basket filled with the essentials; deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, face scrub, a small bag containing some makeup, face moisturizer, lotion, cotton swabs, chap stick, pads and tampons, gum, mouthwash, floss, and perfume. I rip open the deodorant and put it on then opening the face moisturizer on. I push the basket to the side and grab the clothes and put them on one at a time, I turn around and walk into the bathroom to examine myself. "I am definitely not putting on makeup, this should do I guess."

CRACKLE, CRACKLE, CRACKLE. I rush back over into the bedroom to find where that horrid sound is coming from, I crane my head upwards towards the ceiling to see a speaker placed precisely in the center of the ceiling.

The voice in the ceiling suddenly declares, "Good afternoon ladies, now that all of you have settled in make your way downstairs to the main foyer you passed through earlier."

"Go figure!" I make my way into the hallway and walk past the kitchen and go straight into the living room to see all the other women standing talking amongst themselves, then Mallory turns to look at me and this time she shoots a smile my way, as Mallory walks my way, "We are talking about if it is a good idea or not to go down." I nod and follow her back to the group. I disclaim to the girls, "Those men are violent and I would hate to see what could happen to one of us if we didn't do what we are told, I don't know about you guys but all I want to do is get out of here, not make an enemy." The girls nod but one of the twins speaks up, "I don't want to go, they took us not the other way around!" She plops down on the couch and along with her sister. I shake my head and say, "We need to stick together we cannot go turning our backs on each other. I am going down so decide if you are going to do what your told and most likely not piss these hot heads off or sit up here and pout." I turn instantly and make my way down the dark staircase. When I get to the last step then go down another set of stairs once I get to the last step I take a deep breath, "Okay Chanel breathe, you are listening to what you are being told so how bad can it possibly be.." These are the only few words of reassurance I can give myself. I finally take another step and I am standing on the top of the grand staircase I was yanked up earlier. I walk forward to look over the railing and below me are about fifty men and standing front and center of those men is Mr. ABC.

*Dominic's POV*

Even though I run an entire Mafia I have a long temper, it takes a lot to get me furious because I can't go around pissed off and thinking irrationally and then end up doing something I will regret further down the road.

One thing I cannot stand though is when a woman cries out like a pathetic little girl, I was absolutely furious after Chanel screamed off the balcony with no concern as to who could hear her, I look up at her and my instantly goes to my gun, my jaw twitching. Niccolo steps up and calls out to her, "It's going to snow in an hour or so I would go clean yourself up and settle in for the night." If he hadn't said anything I probably would have shot her then and there, we have no use for helpless women here, if you are going to be in my Mafia house you better be able to hold your own and SHE is not one of them. I shake my head as she stumbles, "It's like watching Bambi learn how to walk...tragic."

In my Mafia house, we have live cameras in every single room, except the bathroom, because in case something is to happen I can see exactly what is going on and where, also to make sure nobody is doing any funny business. I have one man running the control room, he's my tech guy, his name is Vincenzo and he makes sure all our cellphones, laptops, computers, etc. aren't being hacked and he also monitors through GPS exactly where our cars are at all times and has cameras in each car.

I shoot Vincenzo a text, "Make a call over the house speakers to the girls' floor telling them to come downstairs." About ten seconds later he replies, "Got it Boss."

My men and I make our way inside to the foyer where the girls will be coming down, I tell Niccolo to get our best fifty with men here to meet the women. I am the head boss of the Inzerillo Mafia, I control the entire mafia, what I says goes, I inherited the Mafia from my father. About ten minutes later we begin to hear some commotion from upstairs, I see out of the corner of my eye a few of my men's hands go to their guns and my third in command, Lucca, glances my way, "Should we go up Boss or...?" He asks me but I shake my head no as a reply. "Give them time Lucca they are women, stubborn and hot-headed, they might need a day or two until they stand down."

After a minute or two my men go silent when they hear soft little footsteps cascading down the staircase from their floor. Chanel steps down on the landing of the grand staircase and walks up to the railing look down at all of us, I shake my head and hear Lucca mumble, "Of course the time she actually listens." I jerk my head sending Lucca a "be professional look." Chanel is dressed in a crème colored sweater and black leggings, Mrs. Griffin, Lucca's grandmother who also oversees the kitchen and maid staff, must have given the girls each a new set of clothes because as I am looking at Chanel five other women appear behind her all dressed in a sweater with leggings. Her army against my army...
