The Devils Daugher

Chapter 6

The next day at school, Mayah kept to herself. She avoided both Chris and Kace still hurt by their outburst yesterday. Lost in thought, Mayah hadn't noticed she took a wrong turn on her way to gym. Groaning, she turned around trying to backtrack her way she had come.

"Lost are we?" came a voice from around the corner. "I can show you where to go," said the tall dark haired man.

Mayah looked at him, not sure if he was a student or not. He seemed too old to be in a school with teenagers. "No, I'm okay" she said quickly walking past him.

"That wasn't a question," he said with a grin. Stalking towards her, he reached out stroking her cheek. " New meat is always the best" he said huskily in her ear.

Knowing he meant her nothing but harm, she kneed him in his groin and ran out the nearest door. "I like the chase little girl!" he screamed after her. Catching up to Mayah, he tackled her to the ground. "Shhhhh. I promise it will feel good" he whispered in her hear sliding her behind a tree.

Mayah squirmed under her attacker. "Please..don't" she begged as he ripped her shirt. She always thought she would lose her virginity involuntarily but not like this.

"Shhhhh.." he whispered against her unbuckling his pants. Leaning back down against her, he didn't notice Adriano behind him until it was too late.

After punching her assailant from behind, Adriano pushes Mayah's bloody attacker to the ground. Seeing his men closing in on their location, he rushes to Mayah taking off his jacket. Reaching out to her, she started to thrash wildly in a panic. "Shhhhh.. Its me! Its Adriano." said trying to calm her. "Do you remember me?" asked.

"Please don't" she sobbed backing away from him.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Put this on" he said handing her his jacket. After getting Mayah covered and to her feet, he starts to walk past the attacker and stops. Furious at the attack on his brother classmate, he delivers a kick to the man now bound on the ground. "Take him back for questioning" he stated with his arms around Mayah leading her to his limo.

"Wait!" Mayah says through her tears. "I have to go back" she cries. Fearing Kace and Chris's reaction that she's outside the school.

"Your clothes are ripped and you need medical attention. I will send a message to Carlos that you had to leave" he said nonchalantly.

"No, you don't understand. I can't leave" she cried.

"Princess, don't make this harder than it needs to be. I promise to bring you back or take you home once your clothed and checked by a medic" he said dragging her to the car. Ignoring her pleas he hands Mayah to one of his men and climbs in the limo dragging her in behind him. Once the car starts moving, he pulled his phone out and sends a text to his brother that Mayah won't be attending class today. Pulling up to his mansion he exits with Mayah behind him Taking her to a large room on the first floor, he calls his in-house doctor to check her while having the maids find her clothes.

After waiting in the hall for fifteen minutes, the doctor comes out with a grim look on his face. Waiting until the door is closed behind him, Adriano speaks up. "Whats that look for Jesus?" he asks.

"She's a slave." he said looking at his notepad. "She has old scars, bruises." added. "And she's marked"

"Marked?" asked Adriano.

"She has a brand on her wrists. And a shock collar around her neck." Jesus let out a sigh. He's seen too many trafficked women and children when he was an ER doctor. Not being able to stomach the constant sight of it, he left the hospital and became a private doctor for the Montoya Mafia. " I left the hospital to stop seeing this Jefe" he said sadly.

Upset at the details Jesus disclosed, Adriano barged into the room where Mayah waited. "Who did this to you?" he asked angrily. Not getting an answer soon enough, he walks towards her. "Princess...who hurt you?" he asks again in a much harsher tone.

"No one" she whispered looking down at her hands. "Please...I need to go home now," she begged standing up from her seat.

"No." he said now within arms reach of her. "Your staying here." he said caressing her cheek.

"You promised you would take me back" she responded with tears in her eyes.

"Princess, my doctor said you were abused. I can't have my brothers classmate go back to that" he said to her. "You will stay as our guest."

"I'm not being abused anymore!" she said loudly.

"Anymore? Are you serious?" Adriano was furious. Not only because she was Carlos's classmate, but because he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her since he met her in the parking lot. "Princess-"

"Please Adriano. I need to go" she begged him. "Please. Your doctor said I was fine!"

"Fine but being abused! That is not okay!" as he went to continue the reasons he could think of why she should stay, he was interrupted by a guard at the door.

"Jefe, your brother said for you to call him in regards to the senorita" he said. "Also the maid brought some clothes from your room for her to wear." he handed some of Adriano's clothes to him before leaving.

"Put these on" said Adriano handing his his clothes to Mayah. "I have to make some calls. Tell the guard at the door to find me when your done" he said exiting. Closing the door behind him, he notices Jesus still waiting outside the room. "Forget something?" he asked the doctor.

"Jefe, this girl..." he started eyeing the mafia man closely choosing his words carefully. "You are different with her" he began. "Her marking was traced back to a known trafficker which makes no sense."

"How is that?" asked Adriano.

"Because jefe. Her bruises collaborate my findings but...she is still a virgin. Her brand belongs to Marco Montoya. He's not known for keeping his property pure."

As Adriano turned to answer, the door opened.  As Mayah exited the office, Adriano extended his hand to her which she reluctantly takes placing a kiss to the top of her hand before gently leading her to the the to another large room. Gesturing for her to have a seat next to him. Reluctantly taking her seat, she looks up taking note of her surroundings looking for an escape route. Kicking herself for not taking Kace more seriously about Adriano, she noticed more men entering the room.

"These are all the ones we could find jefe" said a short stocky spanish guy handing Adrian a bunch of small keys.

Watching Adriano flip through the keys, she gasps realizing what he had in his hands. Keys to her shock collar. After finding the key he thinks will fit, he stands up to lean over Mayah with the key.

"Princess, I think it's time you took this off" he said leaning to touch her neck staring her in the eyes. His attraction to her was foreign to him. He doesn't show affection, or get jealous. Yet, here he is caressing her neck before removing the collar from her.

Staring him in the eyes as he removes the collar, her heartbeat quickens. Not sure if from the fear of the collar or his touch, she shudders as she hears the final click. Its off. "Thank you" she whispers reaching up to her neck. She couldn't remember the last time she hadn't had it around her neck.

"Princess," he said to her in a low tone caressing the skin around her neck where the collar was. The scar left behind angered him. "Who put this on you?" he asked looking her in the eyes already knowing the name from Jesus. "Princess...you know I mean you no harm." he whispered.

"I can't," she responded breaking her gaze from his eyes standing up backing away. "Thank you Adriano for saving me at school but I need to go home."

"I will drive you home if you insist on leaving but under one condition..I meet who you live with. See where you live." he said with a smile.

"What?" she asked "You cant! I cant bring you home!" she shrieked. She knew Roach would be furious if he isn't already. She doesn't even know how long she's been out of school. Or if Kace and Chris are looking for her.

"Princess, you won't tell me who did this to you" he said reaching to her neck, "so I have to see for myself. Lets go."  He said with an angry tone standing up reaching for her hand. It's going to be a long ride she thought to herself.
