His Family Bought Her

12

Walking up the steps with Logan made me feel happy. No one ever gave me any sort of attention or love. Two men opened the glass doors for us while others grabbed the stuff from the van and took it inside.

"Whose house is this?" I asked Logan.

"My parents. They said they would've met us at the door but they are in a meeting." He said walking towards what looked to be the kitchen, "oh and feel free to explore the house."

I thought it'd be a good idea to get to know my surroundings.

After a good twenty minutes of walking and rewalking the same route, I decided I was lost in the house. I was just about to yell for someone when I heard faint voices coming from one of the rooms.

"How is she doing, Is she suffering like we planned?"

"Umm, were not sure."

"What do you mean you aren't sure? She was sold to your son!"

I started slowly walking towards the door.

"Yes but we weren't the ones who wanted her. We are the cover family, the buyers. Of course the head family of the mafia has cover people." A man yelled angrily.

As I reached the door some of the voices seemed familiar.

"You know what? I'm done Dakota! Consider our business cut off. Don't contact us ever." Another man yelled.

"Oh my god that's my-"

"Cristantha?!" My father said.

I started running down the hall as fast as my legs could go.

"STOP!"he yelled.

I ran up a set of stairs and right down the hallway. Then I ducked into one of the open rooms and quickly but silently shut the door. Locking the door I finally started crying.

"Cristantha, Oh my god what's wrong?" Mailee said rushing over.

"My my my-" I tried to say

There was loud banging coming through the door.

"Cristantha Beth Mirabelli know you're in there!" My dad yelled through the door.

"Holy shit." Mailee whispered pulling out her phone.

She pushed some buttons and ushered me into her connected bathroom. The phone rang a bit before someone picked up.

"Mailee why are you calling me I'm literally in the kitchen?" Logan said.

"Cris' parents are here. Her dad is banging on my bedroom door cause he chased her in here. The door is locked and we're locked in the bathroom. Help us, Cris is crying and we don't know what to do." She said

"God fucking damnit," he yelled. "Don't let anyone in, I will come to you, I have the keys to the whole house. Keep her calm I'll take care of him."

"Oka-" Mailee tried to say before he hung up.

"We are okay." She said facing me

"Just breathe and try to relax okay?"

"Okay." I said.

Hi everyone, so far in this book the posting schedule has been crazy! I'm gonna try to fix that.

With comments that say 'please update' twelve hours after I've posted make me feel rushed so I'm going to try to make a steady schedule.

I will now only post on Wednesday's unless something comes up then it will be postponed or there just won't be a chapter.

I understand this might frustrate some people but it will help me try to make longer chapters and to figure out there exactly this book will be going. Thanks for reading my book I really appreciate it!
