Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia

Three Days Later…

(AT THE CLUBHOUSE)

“I know you are f*cking someone!” Sonya, one of the dancers teased after their dance. “Some hot guy with a good c? ck”

“Stop saying that!” Lucretia rolled her eyes and turned away. “And get the f*ck off my back”

Sonya laughed and kept following her behind the stage. She was the only one who managed to get closer to her even after being pushed away plenty of times. The rest of the girls already knew that Lucretia didn’t talk much and didn’t like company. Her job was to teach them how to dance and that was all.

“Not until you tell me who this mysterious dude is. If you tell me, I will tell you other guys that f*cks better than him.”

Lucretia sighed and turned to look at her. “I am not f*cking anyone”

Sonya laughed and looked around before turning back to her. “Yes, you are. I saw it!”

Once she heard that, her heart started pounding heavily. For the past month, she had been playing around with Enzo but they never f*cked. She didn’t know why he preferred using his hands and mouth on her but still, she loved it.

Their meeting point was always the VIP room and nowhere else. She never felt scared of being caught because no one paid attention to whatever she was doing. As long as she danced perfectly and satisfied the guest, nothing else mattered.

But with Sonya, she was now scared. If she had caught her with Enzo, then she was done for. She had been with the girls for more than a month and knew how they liked to talk and spread gossip. Eventually, everyone was going to find out, including her best friend, Rosana!

“You saw nothing” She gritted and stepped closer to her. “Is that clear?” Lucretia glared hard at her and finally moved away. She was crumbling inside but had to hide her weakness. What would Rosana say after hearing all the rumors about her brother-in-law and her? She had been keeping it a secret the whole time.

“I need to change. Do not follow me”

“Hey, Cretia!” Sonya called out and she paused. “I only saw the handprints on your a*s, that is all.”

The handprints on her a*s???

“It is not like I saw you f*cking anyone. I was just curious and had to ask” She smiled and picked up her bag. “I will just get a drink or two”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After she walked out, Lucretia heaved in relief. She only saw the handprints on her a*s and didn’t even know who was behind it. That should’ve calmed her nerves but it didn’t. Her heart kept pounding heavily as tendrils of guilt squeezed her insides.

She had to meet Enzo and end things with him before they escalated. And then she would spill everything to Rosana and beg for her forgiveness. It was wrong to go behind her back after all she was doing for her.

With that in mind, she fixed back her mask and walked off. Enzo was somewhere in the club and she had to find him. After that, she would do what needed to be done and walk away without looking back. Besides, she had gotten more than the amount of money she needed to start a new life. She only had to find the right time and leave.

“Finally, I get to meet you alone, Red Velvet!” She shook her head and ignored the voice, knowing it was one of the drunk men at the club. “Come on, we could play nicely”

She ignored him and kept walking but then he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to himself. “You sick f*ck! Get the hell away from me”

“Finally, I heard your voice” He grinned and pressed his hard erection on her a*s. “And guess what? It just turned me the f*ck on”

“Get off me!” Lucretia yelled and elbowed him in the ribs. He immediately groaned and let go of her. As she turned to walk off, he grabbed her and pushed her down on the floor.

“I told you we could play nicely, b*tch” He snarled and closed his hand around her throat. “Now, let us see what you look like, sexy a*s”

He tried to take off her mask but she fought him. She kept hitting him and screaming but nobody heard her. The club was filled up as always and the music was in the highest volume.

“What is so special about your face, huh?” He asked and finally yanked the mask off her face. “You stupid b*tch!”

Recognition slammed into her and her pulse kicked into high gears. The people she was running away from the whole time had finally found her. The worst part was that she was recognized instantly.

“So you were Red Velvet the whole f*cking time” He snarled and slapped her hard across the face with his right hand. His left hand was still pressing her neck. “You stupid c? nt!”

“Let me go!!!”

“Sorry, your time is f*cking up b*tch. You have been playing around. Now it is time to go back to where you belong”

He dragged her by the hair and forced her to stand. When she tried to fight him, he pushed her over to the wall where she hit her head and fell off on the ground. She cried and tried to stand up but he kicked her hard on the stomach.

“You thought you could escape, huh?” “Everyone knows that b*tch. But you…” He grabbed her by the hair and forced her to stand. “You still have a debt to pay”

Lucretia gathered all her strength and pushed him off to the ground. Before he could get on his feet again, she kicked him twice on the balls and ran away. She had sustained an injury on the head and was bleeding. But she managed to get away from him before she fell off the floor.

“Lucretia!” Enzo called out and rushed over to the bedside. He had found her and rushed her to the hospital immediately. “Hey, what happened?”

“Rosana…” She called out weakly, her eyes flickering. Her head felt muddled and slipping in and out of consciousness. “Rio…”

Enzo furrowed his brows and stared at her. Who was Rio? She had called his name more than three times since she was admitted to the hospital.

“Lucretia… It’s me…”

“Rio?”

“No!” He gritted out and clenched his fists. He didn’t like the idea of her calling another man’s name. “Enzo!”

“Enzo…”

“Do you remember what happened? Who did this to you?”

“Enzo…” She called out as tears rolled down her half-closed eyes. “He… He…”

“A motherf*cking b@stard did this to you?” He asked, his anger rising to its peak. “Who is he? Give me a f*cking name”

“Don’t know. Grasso…”

“One of his men came after you?” He asked and she managed a nod. “What the f*ck does he look like? Tell me something, anything, Lucretia. The b@stard must pay for laying a hand on you”

“Don’t know…” She shook her head as more tears rolled down her cheeks. “Don’t know. Rio… I need my Rio?”

Her Rio? Who the hell was that? Enzo wondered. He decided not to let his jealousy for the unknown man overshadow him. Instead, he asked. “His hair color, eye color, anything, Cari? o.”

She gulped and opened her weak eyes. “Brown hair…”

“That is enough!” He leaned closer and pecked her forehead. “Get some rest, Cari? o, I have a job to take care of”

“Rio…”

“Do not say that name again or else I will hunt him down and kill him” With that being said, he walked out of the ICU and pulled out his gun.
