Il Mio Capo Mafioso Italiano

XXVI

Mavery's POV:

The past couple of weeks have been nonstop torture.

I haven't left this room in days. Ever since Mateo raped me that night...he has kept me here and come to visit nearly twice every day. When it wasn't him who came and visited, it was one of his friends coming to 'take their turn'.

I would try to fight, but each time I was beaten almost to death. I haven't had food or water in days.

Yesterday I dared to take my face covering off when I was alone. With my luck, Mateo had walked in and done some things I wish I could forget....

Flashback

"You are here for your ass and your tits, nobody wants to see your face."  He yells, punching and kicking me over and over again.

"Get on the bed." He demanded, but I was too weak to move off the floor. Instead of throwing me on the bed like he normally does when I refused to get off the floor, he just sat on my naked body and used his knees to pin my arms down.

My eyes were sealed shut, not wanting to look at him. I felt a sharp pain shoot through my stomach and forced my eyes open to see he was digging a knife into it.

A few minutes of absolute agony, he got up and gave me one last kick before leaving me.

Blood was spilling from my stomach. I glanced down to see the words 'Worthless slut' carved into my body.

End of flashback

Mateo had given me some bandages, just to stop the bleeding so that I could entertain more clients.

Despite Miles telling me he would return, there has been no sight of him. I have searched for something I could use to end my life multiple times, but with being too scared to take this mask off again, I couldn't find anything sharp.

I was currently on the bed, bloody and naked like I have been every second of the past few days. A man had just left me probably ten minutes ago.

Different men would come and go, Mateo was the only one who would regularly come.

The door suddenly swung open. I used to jump up with fear at the though of what was about to happen, but now I would just lay here, half unconscious, too tired and hurt to move.

Maybe whoever it is will think I'm asleep if I stay still enough....

Arms wrap around me, not tight enough to hurt me. I am lifted from from the bed and carried somewhere.

He sets me down in my dressing room, which I am grateful to be back in since this is the one place here I feel somewhat safe in. The one thing I noticed that was new was a bed in the corner. "Put something on and be ready to dance in 5." I recognize the voice as Aiden's.

I force myself off the ground and change into a set of pink underwear. You know it's bad when you feel covered up by thin lace underwear.

I lift my mask up and look at myself in the full length mirror in the corner of the room.

I am...disgusting.

My body is littered with bruises, and the ugly words are engraved into my stomach. (Technically this wouldn't be healed yet but it's Wattpad so cut me some slack)

Not wanting to face a punishment for being late, I pull my face covering down and enter the main room, where I am almost instantly ushered onto a stage. Music starts to play, I can't seem to force myself to move.

Boos start erupting from the audience of drunk men.

Just do it, Mavery. Don't give them a reason to punish you.

I start to sway my hips and just move with the music. I close my eyes and forget about my life. I just focus on the music...

I hope y'all are excited for Lorenzo's POV :)

Lorenzo's POV:

The past few weeks without Mavery have been hard. I didn't realize how much I would miss her.

Was it wrong for me to give her back to her father like that?

I mean Lawrence is terrified of me, he wouldn't dare hurt her. Right?

All this time I have been telling myself that she is okay, but I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. My phone starts buzzing, and I check to see my brother, Chris, calling me.

"What's up?"

"Enzo I need you in LA as soon as you can get here."

"Did something happen?"

"I will explain later, you just need to get here now."

"I'm will be there tomorrow, fratello (brother)"

As I pull up to my mothers house, I had an awful feeling something bad was happening. Chris and I had agreed to meet at my mothers house, since he practically lived here and I could say hi to my mom and Dad.

"Hello?" I said in a loud voice when I entered the house. Almost immediately, my mom comes running around the corner and gives me a big hug. "Il mio bambino! Mi sei mancato!" (My baby boy! I have missed you!)

"Mamma, ho 25 anni." (Mom, I am 25 years old.)

"non fare il furbo con me, Lorenzo." (Don't be a smart ass with me, Lorenzo.)

I am about to roll my eyes when my mom softly slaps me across my face, "Don't you roll your eyes at me!"

"Mamma I didn't even..." she cuts me off with another smack, "I can tell, boy. Now as much as I want to catch up, your brother had something urgent to speak to you about. He is upstairs in your fathers office."

I nod to my mom before heading upstairs.

———————

"Finally." Chris sighs when I enter the office. "I got here as fast as I could." I defend myself, but Chris just rolls his eyes.

"So what is so important?" I ask.

"I had someone undercover in one of Mateo Salazar's clubs to get information on him and his business. Everything was going great until I was on the phone with him the other day. Mid phone call, Mateo caught him and had his guys beat him up pretty badly. He is in the hospital right now. Once he wakes up he will tell us what he found out, but I am worried Mateo is planning something. Mateo knows I sent Miles in as a spy, so there is no way I could get into his club. And I was thinking....maybe you could go in and find out what he is planning."

My mind took a few seconds to process what he was saying. "Why would I be allowed in? I mean I'm your brother for fucks sake."

"Because Lawrence Santiago also runs the club. You two are friends right? Use that to get yourself in."

Once I heard his name, I knew I would go in. I don't know why but something in me was hoping I could talk to him and find out how Mavery was doing.

"Ok I'll do it."
