Claimed by the Mafia King

A gun was on his beside table and I immediately took it. At first I was scared of the fight that just started, then I became grateful to whoever Sophia was. Whoever she was, she had just giving me a free ticket to escaping the lions den.

Her jealousy would help me escape I thought to myself_ I guessed this was what she wanted_that is for me to find a way out of here while White lion and his men fight her.

If this was what she wanted then I was going to give her that as it was what I wanted too. I didn’t know her but I knew one thing for sure_she sure as hell just made it to my good books.

I waited for one hour thinking and planning and observing_waiting for all the dust or most of the dust from the attack to die down. I didn’t want to impulsively run away only to end up being killed by a stray bullet or a car. It was better to stay alive in the den than to die in the middle of nowhere all for being too impatient and impulsive. My mother would not survive it.

“Alright it is now or never. Practically.” I said to myself. I stood up from the bed resolving in my heart that it was time to leave.

I had spent enough time waiting. It was time to act before I chicken out entirely.

I took the gun from the bed where I had placed it and jumped down through window. “Shit!” My gown tore. It didn’t matter though. Even though I liked the gown my life was more important than it.

I soon became afraid thinking that the whole battle was only a test. What if he was testing me to see if I had learnt my lesson? What if their were still some men outside?

White Lion had clearly warned me not to mess with him again_so what if he had planned all this just to know if I had taken note of his warnings.

I was scared, there were so many unanswered questions_and what if’s in my head but I had already jumped and no one jumps from a window and looks back. Anyone who does so is not fit to escape.

I started to run away from the garden. There were two of his men lying dead on the ground_ in a pool of their own blood.

I felt bad for them but at least it assured me that this was not all a plan of his_Because if white lion had planned this then I was so dead.

Maybe he would fuck me before he kills me and….

Jeez.. I shuddered just by the mere thought of it.

I didn’t want him. I couldn’t allow myself to want him and that was one of the reasons why I needed to leave immediately. I couldn’t stay another day with him not when he was making me feel things.

Stupid things.

The gate was now in sight but it was high and closed. Although this didn’t stop me from moving towards it, neither did it instill any fear in me.

I lived off of adventures during highschool and this would be one of the many gates I climbed because I was definitely going to climb it.

The gate reminded me of the fences I climbed in highschool it didn’t scare me one bit. In fact_ whenever I came late to school and I wanted to invade punishment I climbed the fence and went straight to class so no teacher would see me coming since they were usually standing at the gate. This whenever was almost every time during Junior year.

The gate was high but not as high as expected. It took me five minutes to climb down to the other side. Five minutes of fear, hope and a persistent feeling of being so close to death.

There was a bush just opposite the gate where I could run into.

The adrenaline I was feeling became so much. I became distracted, tired and anxious_ so anxious was I to escape that I didn’t bother to look left or right before I crossed the road and this was my biggest mistake.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
