THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

I was lying on the couch, flipping through the channels. I was the only one in the hotel since Sin had matters to attend to and Samantha had to accompany him. I wasn’t given more information like always, and though I was curious to know, a part of me thinks it’s best to be left in the dark, as I don’t want anything to do with the mafia business.

I giggled as something funny was said on the TV while munching on the chips. I had a bathrobe on with my undies underneath. I had just had my bath and was too lazy to search through my bag. It was not like I was going anywhere; it was already late at night, and there was a high chance I might wake up tomorrow naked.

I was swiping through another channel when the door opened; my head shot up, half expecting it to be Sin or Samantha, but I was left shocked and on full alert when Jason walked in.

Instantly, I sat up straight, glaring at him and wondering what he was doing here in Sin’s absence.

“You know… anyone in your situation would have been looking for a way out after being snatched and taken against your will,” he says, stalking inside the room as he locks the door behind him. “I must say, dear Mani, it’s quite a surprise how little of a fight you put on before giving yourself to Sin, like a little slut.”

“I don’t know why you are here, Jason, but I suggest you get the fuck out.” I sneered, getting to my feet, making sure to put as much distance as needed between the two of us.

Jason’s gaze hardens, and he lets out a dark, sinister laugh. “Have you told him…?” he questioned, with a sly smile dancing around his lips. “About us.”

“Us,” I scoffed. “I wasn’t aware there was an us,” I said, my voice coming out bold despite my racing heart. I hated the fact that he had locked the door, leaving no room for escape.

“Really, Mani, the years we shared, the memories, you can’t compare it to what you and Sin have.”

“That’s right.  What Sin and I share feels real compared to what I thought I felt about you. I was young and was only deluding myself into thinking that I was in love with you.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His jaw clenched, and his hand was moulded into a fist. His eyes spoke anger as he took more strides towards me. “What we had was far more real than this far-fetched fantasy you think you have. He doesn’t know you like I do; he doesn’t have the spark we do.” The more he walked towards me, the more I took a step back.

Jason sighs, halting his step as he closes his eyes before taking a long, deep breath. When he pulled them back open, his gaze met mine, and I could see he was trying to fight off his anger, even though he was failing miserably.

“You think he is going to keep you forever, uh..” he yells. “You need to come out of that delusion that he cares for you. Sin isn’t one to be messed with, and once he is done with you, he won’t be hesitant to put a bullet in your skull.”

I gulped, trying not to let his words bother me. ” Get out. ” I said sternly, pointing to the door. “Like you said, Sin isn’t a man to be messed with, and I sure as hell know he won’t be pleased knowing you were here.”

“Why can’t you fucking understand that I’m trying to help you?” he yells, catching me by surprise. “Do you think you matter to him?” I looked him dead in the eyes, not saying anything, and refused to indulge him in whatever this was. “Then you leave me no choice, Mani.”

I looked at him in confusion and curiosity, wondering what he meant by that. I didn’t have time to ponder about it when he began taking long strides towards me, and I raced to the other side of the room, the couch separating us.

“I don’t know what sick game you are playing, Jason, but I asked that you leave.” I said, trying to reason to him.

It didn’t seem to work because the gaze in his eyes darkened, and before I could think to run, he was jumping over the couch, grabbing me in his hold.

“Since it’s been hard reasoning with you, I guess it’s plan B.” He says this, grabbing both sides of my cheeks, and his lips meet mine forcefully.

I struggled against his hold, placing both my hands on his chest as I tried to push him away. He moved one hand to grab my hair from behind, keeping my head firm, while the other grabbed my hands on his chest, holding them tightly.

I tried biting his lips, which caused him to step back a little. A sly smile crossed his lips as he opted to kiss my neck before moving down to my chest.

“Let go of me….” I yelled, my voice loud, hoping to alert any of the guards standing at the door.

Jason’s laughter boomed in the room, his eyes meeting mine in what seemed to be amusement.

“Oh, Mani.  Do you seriously think I would have come here if there was someone stationed at the door?” Fear gripped my heart, and I began to feel my panic grow.

I need to find a way out of here.

My eyes shifted to the hotel phone on the other side of the room. I tried to think of a way to get out of his grip and call for help. But Jason was able to somehow read my thoughts as he let go of my hand, picking up the phone and smashing it hard on the ground.

“What are you going to do now, Mani?” He teased.  “Sin won’t be back for at least an hour, and I plan on having an hour’s worth of your body.” He chuckles sinisterly.

“You son of a bîtch!” I said, going up to him and punching him straight in the nose. I kept swinging. I didn’t care. I honestly don’t care if he dies because I punched him too many times.

He caught my wrist before it made contact with the side of his head again. ” Get Your Hands Off Me!” I said it in between my teeth. He pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist and my shoulders. “Let me go!” I said, trying to get free from his grip. He held me with one arm, and the other went under my chin and made me look at him. I kept trying to get out of his hold, but his grip got so tight around my waist and chin that I knew bruises were starting to form.

He pulled my lips towards his and placed a kiss on mine.

I tried to push at his chest to let me go, but he pulled me closer to his chest, so my arms were pinned on his and I couldn’t move. I tried to move my head back, but the hand holding my chin went behind my neck and stopped me from pulling away. He was kissing me roughly, but I didn’t kiss back. I closed my lips and closed my eyes tightly.

He kept trying to open my mouth with his tongue, but I wasn’t having it.

I simply couldn’t let him. He pulled away, and I felt him place his forehead on mine. I slowly open my eyes and only see blue eyes staring at me.

“I said, let me go.” I said, yanking my arm back, catching him off guard, as I punched his nose and kicked him between his legs.

He hunched over, and I instantly made my way to the door, unlocking it, and ran towards the elevator, clicking the button. I tried waiting for the door to open, but went for the stairs when I heard the hotel door open and Jason come out.

I didn’t bother about the pain and ran down the stairs with all my might as I heard the sound of footsteps running behind me. Once I got to the entrance of the hotel, I made my way out of it, knowing that if I stayed there, he was going to catch up with me.

All I could think about was finding a safe place before contacting Sin.
