"I hated being called his Rosa. Every man that had me for a night was sure to remind me that I wasn't human anymore. I wasn't a person anymore. I mean how could I be? A person has a soul, and by that time I had already gave it up to the devil." Jade...

"You good for nothing bitch!" I watch as Romano's underboss, Gus, shout at the new red head.
I don't know why he is shouting at her again but it's probably because she sneezed or cough again. She has been doing that a lot lately.
It's forbidden to talk; to make any sounds.
But who can blame her? It's the middle of winter. We wear little nothing all day everyday. She maybe growing ill.
I stand watching in horror, from Romano's bedroom, looking through the crack of the door. I watch as Gus rips his belt off his pants loops.
Before my mind can process anything my body and feet is moving to the hall where the situation unfolds. I fling my body over the new redhead.
I don't know why I just did this, because I never do this for anyone. Around here the girls have adapted to a 'protect yourself and no one else' lifestyle. It's because we will get in trouble or die depending how angry one of the men are.
But I couldn't watch or listen to the new red head endure Gus's whooping. I know first hand how painful they are. I prepare myself for the pain of his belt.
But it never came.
I was too afraid to open my eyes. I grip on to red head's fetal positioned body the best I can. Sheltering her freezing and shivering body.
"Gus you may go. I will handle this." I hear Master's voice slice through the thick silence.
After what seems like Gus footsteps fade away. The silence dawns on the hallway again. I try to even my breathing but my body is slowly going into panic mode.
I was soon yanked away from her body, coming face to face with an angry Romano. I don't dare speak knowing I'm already in trouble. I just stare into his eyes, hoping he will listen to my silent prayers and give me mercy.
"Get into the room." He commands lowly with a menacing tone as he pushes me towards his room.
I look down at the red head hesitantly. My feet not being able to move.
"NOW!" He barks out causing me to run into his room and into his massive closet.
I don't know why I am hiding, I am going to get a beating anyways. If not for saving the red head, for not doing what he said immediately. And he hates that.
I quickly get on my knees and hold my hands and beg God to get me out the situation. Or at least give Romano merciful mind, or something happens where he has to leave.
But all those prayers vanished as I hear the screams and cries of the red head. I cover my mouth trying not to scream and cry out loud as I hear the sound of a belt hitting skin. But what I hear the worse, is the most unbearable pain a girl shouldn't endure ever.
