Mafia Men II: Lorenzo's Gilded Cage

♕—DelilahLooking at myself in the mirror, I clutched the sides of my dress. The nervousness crept up, and a shiver ghosted underneath my skin. My nipples were visible through the thin, silky fabric; my eyes dropped down and anyone could easily see every single dent and curve of my body through this dress. Rita—my chambermaid—slapped at my hands. "Stop it! You will ruin the dress, come on, let's take you to your father's wing" She placed a hand on the small of my back as she led me out of my chambers. I clasped my clammy hands together in front of me and walked with her. We entered our father's wing and a loud clatter followed by the howling laughter of men fell on my ears. "Does papá have guests over?" I asked "I suppose..." she answered vaguely. I frowned, papa never has guests over this late at night. We stopped outside papa's door and Rita nodded at the king's guard. The guard looked me up and down, I noticed how he swallowed and diverted his gaze. I felt naked, completely

♕—Delilah "He is going to kill me, mama" I whispered, staring at myself in the mirror. This beautiful white gown felt like a death sentence. "...that's what he did to all his wives" Mama stroked my curled hair and she adjusted the veil in place. "No, he won't, my Delilah is stronger than that. If anyone can change that man, it's going to be you" My heart felt so heavy, tears burned in my eyes and I shook my head in negative. "He won't change, mama! This isn't a fairytale. He isn't a prince. People like him... they don't change. I'm going to die," I whispered the last part to myself.Everything was in order, Jack and I were supposed to flee last night but I'm not sure how some of the guards got wind of it. The gates were sealed shut, I didn't even get to see him last night, he was taken away before that. From what I have heard from Rita, Jack tried his best to save me, he took the blame and told everyone that he was the one who filled my head with such ideas. He did it all for my

♕—Delilah I pressed my back against the stone wall, my hands wrapped around my stomach as an urge to urinate doubled. I slammed my head back into the wall a few times, frustrated by my helplessness; hopelessness. I had no idea what they wanted from me or why I was here. I needed to use the toilet so badly but I refuse to do it because of the camera in the corner of the room. They were watching me, they were watching my every move. This was inhuman and humiliating. I couldn't even use the dirty toilet, I gritted my teeth. Shaking my head, I thought about something else, I tried to distract myself. Think about mama, think about Anthony, what they must be doing right now? Will papa look for me? Will he hurt mama for telling me to run? My heart drowned in my chest as I thought about Jack. It seemed so long ago since I last touched him, I remembered how I spent our last night together, I was crying my eyes out while he whispered sweet nothings into my ears, kissed my tears away, and to

♕—Delilah He shoved me into his car brutally like he wasn't handling a human being but a worthless toy. He made me sit in the passenger seat and made his way around the hood to get to the driver's seat. My eyes darted all around me, looking for an escape, looking for a way out. I needed to run, I needed to trick him and run. I was just waiting for him to take us outside, I'm going to scream at the top of my lungs, and call anyone and everyone to come for my help. I throw myself out of this window if that's what it took. But the next thing I knew, he gripped my upper arm, pulling me closer to him. He handcuffed me to my seat, I didn't resist because I didn't want him to know that I was planning on getting away from him. Next, he pulled a blindfold over my eyes and fastened my seat belt in such a weird way that I was restrained against the car seat. Shit! Shit! Shit! And then a prickle in my neck. I winced. Bastard.┈┈┈┈․° ☣︎ °․┈┈┈┈My mouth was as dry as a dessert. I peeled ope

♕—Delilah My eyes went to his hands and I noticed the ropes and some kind of collar; the one you'd put on a dog. I slowly stood up, my back still pressed against the wall. I watched as he closed the door behind him, locked it, and slid the key into his pocket, my eyes followed his every single movement. "What is that?" I questioned, trying to keep my trembling voice strong. He didn't answer me, he just approached me like a hungry wolf, his evil eyes gleaming in the dark. I tried to move but the panic set in, freezing every muscle in my body. "What are you doing?" God, I was regretting, I was regretting my decision of choosing this monster, I should have stayed in that dirty cell, I should have just stayed there. Don't cry! Don't cry! Don't cry! God! Delilah, please don't you dare cry! He opened up the rope and I raised a finger, "Don't you dare step closer to me! Get back!" He only stared at me with a blank face before he stalked towards me and within two to three long stride
