"Hello love. You are coming to stay with me after two days. Wanted to know me before marriage, this is the best way. My men will come to get you to our home. I hope you won't make them go violent on you and listen to them like my good girl."
"So this is what you took for my silence?"
"Be ready by ten, day after. See you soon love."
What does he think of himself? How did he think that I would stay with him before getting married?
"Sash, what happened?" asked Elle, who just came home after a workout.
"I am not running from him Elle, I will fight him. What does he think that I would do what he wants? No one can order me or tell me what to do."
"Can you just tell me what's wrong, Sash?"
"He called me saying that his men would come and take me with them day after."
"Did he talk about marriage?"
"No he said I have to stay with him so that, I will be ready for marriage after a year."
"Sash you should be happy that you have a year to plan against him."
"I can’t understand what you are talking Elle. I have to go stay with him day after, I have only two days left."
"No you have a year my little sister. He is not marrying you he is just making you stay with him. Plan well my baby sister."
"Yes Elle you are right, I have a year time. Aww I love you so much big sister. I will make him understand that love can’t be forced, but earned."
"I love you too Sash. Be careful he isn't someone to be messed with. Remember that I will always support you." Saying this we gave each other a sisterly hug.
Forcing some one for anything is a sin, and I will make sure he doesn't commit one.
Chapter 9- Travel to hell
Two days passed with happiness, fun, joy, sorrow and a lot more emotions.
I always wanted to fall in love. Love the madness with which you can make anything impossible- I'm possible.
But I never wanted to be forced in love. Everything has a limit. A thin line between love and obsession, you are not allowed to cross.
The mafia's are used to look so cruel that they cross lines, not just them but also boundaries.
Today is the day, I will be leaving to the mansion, stay with the person that I despise the most.
But I neither have a choice nor the guts to run from him, so the best thing to do is face the devil when you can't do anything about it.
Damon Knight, no his name should have been Demon Night, as he is cruel, creepy and dangerous just like those two.
Well anyways, Mr. Demon Night called me at five, in the morning. To tell me that Rob will come to pick me up at ten.
Now it's eight and there are two hours left for me to leave. I want to spend this time with my family and myself.
"Sasha, dad went to the office and mom is in the kitchen making your favourite apple pie. What are you doing here in this room? Why don't you come down, little sister?" asked Elle entering my room.
"Dad didn't want to say one last goodbye. Let it be, I promise you that I will visit you all very soon."
"Hope so Sash, I would pray for your plan to get successful, whatever it is."
"Thank you so much Elle. Praying's are the best gift anyone can give at this point of my life."
"I have a lot more confidence on you than myself Sash. Because even though I am elder to you, you are the matured one. But still little sister, he is very dangerous and cruel. I heard that he killed many of his previous girlfriends due to his over possessiveness. Please be careful for me, dad and mom. Please" she said stressing on the last word.
"I will Elle, don't worry when I said I will teach him how to earn and not force, I did know how much risk I have to take. But I should try big sister, otherwise he will never learn. And for this am ready to be an amazing teacher to an ass of a student." I replied giving her a wink on the last statement, I made.
"I knew you were strong always, but never thought my sister is this strong. Well am lucky to be a sister to the girl, who only takes positivity in all situations, even if they are life and death ones. I love you sash and don't forget that we are always there to support you be what may." said Elle tears over flooding.
"Oh come on big sister, don't cry I will come very soon to meet you. But, before we have one hour left to spend some quality time."
"Only one hour, but when I came here there were two hours left." said she shocked.
"That my dear sister, there were two hours left but what can I do now, my elder sister is such over caring and such a big drama queen that she wiped of an hour just like that." I yelled being dramatic and resting hands on my hip.
"Oh My Ghosh, am I a drama queen? Is it so?"
"No it's not you, it's your ghost."
"Sasha you are so dead now." She said chasing me, when I ran at a full speed.
"Mom, save me from the ghost of your daughter. She is going to kill me."
"Sasha today I am not going to spare, not at all. You called me a ghost and I will show how a ghost attacks. Here take this, an egg on the head of a dirty chick." said she throwing an egg my way.
"Then take this a tomato, for a rotten head." I shouted, throwing a tomato her way.
"Children stop it. Enough now come and sit here and eat this apple pie." mom said with such force, but still we didn't stop.
"Next goes the cheese on the rat that’s not fat, yay." Yelled Elle, but due to her bad luck, it hit my mom, who just came between us.
"Oh shit I am sorry mom. I didn't do it on purpose." Elle apologized, feeling low.
Then mom took the cheese from her face and suddenly hit it on Elle, "Take this jungle kitten." she shouted in between her laughs.
"Mom, how can you do this to your daughter? I didn't get prepared for this hit." frustrated Elle shouted.
"Now that's called a mom's hit darling." giggling so much she said.
Suddenly she became sad, tears falling from her eyes. She sat on the chair near the kitchen, ready to collapse.
"Mom what's wrong? Are you okay? Where's the inhaler Elle, get it from her room, quick." I wailed sitting beside her.
"No Elle. Let it be it’s not an asthma attack. It’s just deep sorrow and Sasha you are my inhaler for this problem." hugging me tight she spoke.
"Mom please, don't give too much of stress for yourself. I am okay, nothing has happened to me." I assured her.
"How can you be fine, when a ruthless mafia is behind you? And I am not able to do anything about it. There is not a single option to prevent you from going to him. I am weak, we are weak Sasha. Am sorry child we are not able to save you." She said crying louder and louder.
"Mom, you don't have to save me. I am big enough to save myself. I Promise you mom I will be more than fine. And will soon come to meet you" and before I could tell anything else, Rob came.
"Yes Mrs. West, you don't have to worry about your daughter she will be safe with Damon and soon will come to visit you."
"Mr. Damon Knight? That is the whole tension about, Mr. Rob whatever." Elle sighed, sarcasm dripping from her tone.
"Rob Knight, Miss West. You are hotter when you are angry than sweet." flirted Rob.
"Rob, could you just wait for few minutes, I will come."
"Sure, I will wait till my death for you sister in law." he voiced smiling as sweetly as a little boy.
"Why don't you do that? It's the best you can do ever in your life." annoyed Elle told Rob.
"What? What should I do?" asked he with an innocent look.
How can someone be so sweet like Rob, in a world called mafia? But he is.
"Die. My sister won't come, so better death is the best option for you and that mafia leader of yours, Damon Knight." loathed Elle.
"I would love to do whatever you tell, beautiful. But if I die, who will be your prince charming?" He said pouting.
Ah why can't that stupid mafia, be as sweet as Rob. Am sure this one pout is enough to kill a million girls.
"Asshole, what do yo..."
"Stop it
Elle, am coming with you Rob. It’s just that I want to talk to my mom." Stopping the fight my sister and Rob were in, I went to my mom, who was sitting on the chair distressed.
"Mom don't worry, I love you, dad and Elle so much, that I will go to any extent to come and meet you, and am sure Rob will be there always to keep me safe from the mafia, isn’t it Rob?" I asked well knowing the answer.
"Yes, I will not let anything happen to your daughter Mrs. West, please believe me. She is like my sister and I will make sure that she is safe, from Damon. It's a promise Mrs. West, and am the best at keeping up promises." he assured mom.
"Bye mom, Elle. Tell dad I love him, will come soon." Saying this we left to the mansion.
Mansion, the hell that am going to stay in and the devil I am supposed to spend my life with.
Chapter 10- Meeting the Knights
Each passing second the distance is getting nearer and, heart beat faster. I told my family that, I would take care of myself and fight the mafia, but can I?
Killing his old girlfriends is not a small thing to forget. Who kills a person, only because they couldn't make up to you?
Thinking more and more will only make my fears worsen.
"Rob, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked him to make my situation light.
"No Sassy. Either the girls want money, looks and fun or they are afraid of me."
"Did you just call me Sassy, Rob? I mean, didn't you get some better nickname?" I asked appalled.
"What's wrong with that sexy nickname Sassy?"
"Now you just called that sexy, ah Rob you are so incredible." I said shrieking.
"I am not changing it, I love the name."
"Ah, well just die Rob."
"Aren't you sisters too cheeky? Using the same dialogues?” He said giggling.
"Shut up Rob. Okay let's change the topic now. So which type of girl, do you want as a partner for life." I asked.
"Well, someone who is not afraid of me or my profession. Not even those, who want money and sex. She should be able to manage me and my tantrums, someone with both beauty and brains. Wait! This gives me a thought, why not your sister Elle? She is just like I mentioned." He said wondering.
"So Robsy, you like my sister? But I ever doubt she will like you, and am not ok with this."
"What did you just call me Sassy? Robsy? Is that you name a main man of the mafia? People will laugh at me." He squealed.
"Now that's the punishment you get, for calling me that."
"Ok will forgive you Sassy because yo..., wait you won’t agree me with Elle? How mean? Am ready to fight with my brother friend for you, and you can’t let me ask your sister out? How can you do this to me Elle?" He said making sad faces.
How can this mad man be in mafia? He is so much like us, no cruelty, no forcing anyone, and not a single trait of a main man of the mafia.
I am so happy for my sister. Rob is a very sweet person and, maybe every girl's dream by face and heart. But Elle is not an easy person. Hope he succeeds in wooing her.
"You are such a drama king Robsy. I said that I won’t agree, but if she is ready to go on a date with you, I won't stop her."
"And that would never happen without your help, I know that. So mean of you sister's."
"Now shut up and ride." I said chuckling.
Soon after our conversation, we were before the mansion gates. Robsy was so much fun that I forgot I was forced to live with a devil. Here I am driven to stay with this notorious mafia.
But I should admit that the mansion was amazing and astonishing, with blue and green highlighting on white. This doesn't even look like mafias.
"Come in miss, Sir please take her in." said a man in black, standing in front of us.
"Where is Damon, Max?" asked Robsy.
"Boss went to get some work done. Told he will be back by evening. Also he asked miss, to join him for dinner." Max replied.
"Yeah sure, everything should be done according to him now. He doesn't even give a chance, to choose." I said being as sarcastic as I could.
"Sassy come in now. We can fight with him, when he comes here."
"I won’t fight with him Robsy. I have something else for him."
"Oh what is it? Don't tell me, you are planning a murder on the vicious mafia." He exclaimed.
"You are just too much Robsy. Even though I would love to, I wouldn't do that, because I am not Damon." I replied feeling proud of myself.
"Ok now, let’s go in." Rob said.
As we entered, there was a huge pool outside the main entrance. It was crystal blue, matching the house's exterior.
It just made the mansion look more beautiful. I never thought that a mafia would own such a place. It was definitely not his taste.
"Rob whose taste is this house?"
"Damon's mom, she has an amazing style in all these."
"Ah thought so."
"What do you mean?"
"This can't be Mr. Mafia's taste I thought." I loathed.
"You despise him so much Sassy."
"Forcing me to stay with him, love and marry him, separating me from my family, doesn't earn him my love Robsy, now you can't blame me for this."
"I know he doesn't deserve your love, but maybe he is in love with you, he would stop his merciless acts as soon as you love him back. Maybe he would become soft for you. Give him a chance Sassy." He pleaded.
Before I could reply, a couple came to welcome us. The man was as handsome as Damon, with most of the features resembling. His wife was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Still looks young, at this age. Now I know where Damon got his looks from.
"Hello sweetheart, how do you like the house? And was the ride comfortable? Is Rob being good?" asked the lady.
"The house is amazing. The ride was fun because of Rob he is the best friend anyone could ask for. But I wouldn't be able to tell the same, about your son." I replied being as polite as I could.
"Feisty one I say. I think my son got the perfect one. This reminds me of someone." He said looking at his wife with a grin.
"Well sweetheart, sorry I forgot to introduce, I am Mary Knight and this is my husband, Peter Knight. We are Damon's parents." She said smiling.
"Hello Mr & Mrs. Knight." I greeted.
"Rob take her to the room, she might freshen up for dinner." She told Rob.
"See you at dinner Sasha." She said with a beam.
"Thank you Mrs. Knight."
"Ah you don't have to get formal Sasha, please call me Mary."
"Sure Mary. Thanks." I replied with a smile.
After this, we climbed the stairs to go to the room, I would be staying in. It was a time consuming process, as it was very far from the entrance. The interior was full of white, not at all matching Mr. Knight and Damon.
As we passed many doors, we came before a huge door made of brown rose wood and Rob opened it to let me in.
It was amazing, made of gold interior. Everything in here was gold, including the furniture. I was so busy gaping at the room, when Rob said chuckling, "Happy with the room? Well am going Sassy, go freshen up and join them for dinner."
"Won’t you be there for dinner?"
"No Sassy, it’s a dinner for just four of you. Don't worry, you will be ok." I nodded. He kissed me on my forehead, and left.
After about fifteen minutes, I was still busy exploring the room, and forgot about the dinner. I was so busy looking and enjoying the room, and the bed, that I didn't know there was an intruder in the room.
"Welcome, to my world Love."
Chapter 11- Wrong move
Feelings are like waves, we can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which one to surf. When he hugged me from behind, a wave of pleasure ran down me, but as I came back to reality, fear is all I could feel, and hate for this man. He hugged me as if everything happening was normal, and we were inseparable lovers.
Love is such a pious feeling that makes your heart fly with it. Everyone would want that feeling, no one would hate it. But
it's not the same with me. There won't be a single girl who wouldn't want a handsome, kind, successful man to fall at her feet proposing marriage. But when that man is a cruel mafia king, then what will she do? What should I do?
I don't know what to do or, whether the plan will work or not. But trying doesn't make the already worse situation worsen, or maybe will. I have to try whatever it is, to make him learn not to force anyone against their will.
"Such a warm welcome, I am touched honey." I replied turning around, looking straight into his eyes with a sweet smile. He was shocked with my reply, and the mocking smirk on his face vanished.
"Are you the same girl, I met in the club or you possessed?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Oh! I am the same girl you wanted in your life honey, yours Sasha West." I replied giving him a wink.
He looked at me as if I was an alien, soon replaced his expression with a smirk. He took few steps dangerously towards me, but this time I didn't take a step back, I stood my ground. This mesmerized him and his smirk grew wider.
"Love, are you mocking me? If you are, then you are in for a big trouble." He said raising his eyebrow.
"No my Hun, why would I ever mock you, it's all my love speaking to you."
"Oh well then so you are in love, Love? Then let's make love." He said stepping closer with hands wide open.
What the shit just happened, no it's not right whatever did happen isn't good. Now how can I stop this, and at the same time carry on with the plan. God please help me, Rob where are you? Idiot I asked him to stay with me but no he didn't listen, what will I do?
"What's wrong Love, your body is full of love for me, then why not show it to me?" He mocked. He knew that I was doing all this with a plan. Rob you are so dead if you meet me sooner or later.
"Hun, I think this isn't the right time for all this."
"Why love? It's the perfect time." Saying this he hugged me tight, whispering in my ear,
"If you are on a plan, then it's high time you stop it love, or else you are too smart to understand."
