The Mafia (The D'Amore series)

B1C9

When the van slows to a stop after what felt like an hour, someone opens the side door yelling at us girls to get out of the van. The van floor was dirty which my dress dirty. When I got out of the van it was late afternoon sometime. I looked around I could see a pinkish color building with heaps of windows with white frames, on top of the building was a dome with the Brazilian colors yellow and green. It was the Amazon Theatre.

After being pushed into the building we were going through the back of the building. The girls around me were sobbing, I had yet to do that. I guess I didn't think this was real, I thought it was a dream and Luca was going to bang on the bedroom door and it would wake me up from all of this but no this was very real.

I even pinched myself.

They made us line up for some reason. I thought who ever these guys were, were stupid. They didn't even blind fold us. I was soon taken out of my thoughts when some guy grabbed my arm pulling me out of the line. In Brazilian he asked why I had gotten my dress dirty. I just remain silent.

He growls pulling me down the hall towards a room, pushing me into the room "Mude para o vestido da mesma cor" (Change into the same color dress) he says growling at me. I looked at the hanger that had different color dresses, I had a white dress on so I grabbed one of the white dresses off the hanger but what seemed weird was that I was the only one out of the girls who was wearing a white dress.

I noticed that the guy wasn't going anywhere so I had to change in front of him. I wasn't scared of showing off my body, but I didn't like how he eyed my body, so I quickly pulled the dress on.

The guy pulled me out of the room, I swear I was going to have bruise on my upper arm. Instead of going back to where the other girls were, he took me down another hall. He pulled me through a door which ended up being where every Businessman, millionaires, billionaires, Kings & Queens and even politicians who ever had a lot of money was here bidding on these poor innocent young girls.

It made me sick thinking about this all, all these young girls were never going to have friends, become mothers, have boyfriends that they loved. No, they were going to be force into this. They were either going to become maids, sex slaves or worst they were going to be tortured and killed.

I was trying to wiggle out of the man's grip and once I did, I ran. I ran through the crowd of seedy of men and women. I was barely looking around I was just trying to find an exit, but before I could I was grabbed again and this time it was by two huge guys one of them slapped me across the face.

But before I was carried away, I saw someone that I knew. Our eyes met and that's when I heard the voice inside my head again "He will come for you love. He knows your here. He saw you."

I was on the edge of tears; I knew he could see them too. His eyes they were dark like he hadn't slept; I knew there were rules, he wasn't able to just grab me and go. No, he had to bid for me... My tears dropped as soon as the guys that were carrying me slapped me again. I tasted the blood in my mouth, so I spat it at him. I quickly looked back at the person nodding at him as he nodded back. He was the last thing I saw when someone punched me out cold.

Alberto found out where the action was being held, so I got a few men and flew straight to Brazil. I hadn't slept, I just couldn't. She was here going to be sold because I wasn't there for her. Diego was working for Rafael, so he was doing the dirty work of selling the poor girls. The mafia that I grew up with never did this. They respected women. That is what my mother and father always told me.

I was going to put an end to all of this.

My black SUV pulled up at the theater, I was watching men and even women walk into the building. I nodded to my men, and they all followed me up the stairs and into the building. But something was wrong when I walked in. People were rushing around yelling and screaming that a girl has escaped and that is when I saw her, she was running towards me till two bouncers stopped her in her tracks. I was about to pull them off them, but Alberto stopped me placing a hand on my shoulder.

"You can't man" he says watching everything that was happening. Our eyes met for a moment. She looked scared, her eyes were dark, and her legs were covered in dirt. She had tears in her eyes. My hands were in fists when I saw them slapping her face. She was a fighter.

That was when she spat blood into the guy's face then she turned back to me and nodded her head. Angel knew they were going to punish her now that she ran away and spat blood. I nodded pretty much telling her I was coming for her I just hope to God she knew that to... I was seeing red when they punched her out cold. I was shaking with fury again.

I watched them drag her away, till someone walked into my vision I nearly ripped their head off.

"Glad you can make it, I hope you enjoy the show and make sure you bid high for the piece you want" says a man in a suit who hands me a flyer, I growl. He nearly shat himself, so he quickly left with his tail between his legs going to greet other people who had walked inside.

"Boss, what is the plan now?" Alex asks standing by myself.

"Some of us watch the action, see if she comes up and make sure you bid fucking high on her, but I now have a feeling she isn't going to be in the action. TI have a feeling that Diego or Rafael will take her now. So, some of guy will go to every exit and wait." They nodded.

I knew they weren't going to bid her now; she was going to sit in a cell somewhere cold and alone waiting for them to come and do what they wanted to her. It made me sick.

Why did they want her so badly?

Maybe they thought taking her was going to weaken me so they could kill me... Mateo's words roll through my head "He wants to kill all the D'Amore off the face of the earth..." I was the last one unless I had a child. I sighed as I run a hand through my hair.

Alberto and I took our seats at the back just in case we had to rush out of here to help our men. Then the lights went off and the stage light shined. A man that I know as Diego walked out on stage, I fisted my hands turning my knuckles white.

"WELCOME ONE AND ALL! THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING HERE TO BRAZIL!! WE HAVE THE SWEETEST YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN YOU WILL EVER SEE! I HOPE YOU ALL BROUGHT YOUR CHECK BOOKS BECAUSE THE PRICES WILL GET HIGH!! YOU HAVE TO BID HIGH TO WIN!! LET THE ACTION BEGIN!!"
