Encounters with the mafia

Chapter 11

That day was when a piece of me came back... I was finally reunited with my sister not to mention when I met my nephew zain. He is the most adorable toddler I have ever meet and I fell I in love with him the first time I laid my eyes on him. He was a splitting image of his father. A man who I meet and held great respect for him.... he was the reason I met my sister.... he was the one to get her out of captivity and have this beautiful life.

Watching him and my sister made my heart swell.... the passion that flowed through his eyes when he looked at her made me feel so much joy. His face would brighten up whenever she was next to him and he would have a full blown smile whenever his son showed him something. This family reminded me so much of my parents and us before they died...

Dad always looked at mom as though she was the only living female in this world... his queen. The memory of my parents brought a tear to my cheeks and I quickly wiped it and came back to reality.

It has been a week since I saw my sister and came back to the house.... things have been going hectic since then.... I had to be cleaning plenty since I have come to realize a lot of men live in this house... very messy men may I add. And there has been non stop balls where very rich and important people come to wine and dine.

This has Adrian very busy which saddens me ... something I can't quite comprehend. He is always has to meet many different people at this ball and talk about business .... something I wasn't going to be involved in...don't get me wrong Adrian was very good to me but I still didn't let my hopes down for life seems to always bite me where it really hurts so I was here to do my job and that's what I did besides I have no clue how to make conversation with these people so I just do my job and then spend the rest of the evening in my room until it is time to come clean up after everyone has left.

I actually like the peace and quiet ... it gives me time to treasure the simple thing I was deprived from.. and the work also keeps me distracted from my demons. They come every night .. no matter how hard I try to push them away they never go away. They are there as a reminder that I can never fuller move on. But I won't give up just yet.

Right now I was cleaning the ball room after one of my demons came to visit... yes I know I look crazy cleaning the ball room at 2 in the morning but I needed something to distract me... and cleaning seemed to be the remedy.

So here I was thinking about my reunited family while mopping the floor. I have cleaned this place spotless and still wanted was think of what chore I could do next cause I wasn't going to bed anytime soon.. that demon would not win me over tonight in my dreams .., I was going to be wide awake.

He destroyed everything I ever loved .... made me feel alone... even when I tried my best to do right by him he stilled punished me.... striped me of my wonderful memories and turned them dark and tainted. I was slowly rebuilding myself but I new it would take years to fully recover... which caused my heart to squeeze in pain... why did this happen to me... why did my parents have to go? Why did they have to take my sister away? Why did I have to fall in Alfonso's path? What frustrated me more was the fact that no body could answer me!

"What are you doing?"
I jumped as Adrian voice echoed through the empty room ... how did I not hear him come down.
"I...I..co..couldn't sleep so I started work early ?" I replied. I didn't want it to come off as a question but it did somehow.
"You started work at 2 in the morning?" He asked with a confused expression on his face.. he looked really tired like he was having trouble with sleeping as well as dark circle were visible around his eyes.
"Come on to bed Taliyah.. I can't believe you cleaned here spotless you not even the main maid ... you are suppose to do more of the cooking." He said with a yawn.
"I could cook for you if you like." I tried my best to sound convincing as I really didn't want to go to bed.
Giving a small chuckle he shook his head no and signaled his finger for me to come.
I did as instructed even though that was the last thing I wanted to do ...maybe I could make a run for it ... who am I kidding ... I listening to his every command like he has that power over me ... I just can't control it.
