The escape 3

"My lady, hope you understand" 

"Yes of course" the maids left include Anna except one left behind. " What are you waiting for?" She asked the shivering maid standing in front of her. " Please forgive me, my lady, don't behead me. I was ordered by master Leonardo"

"What does he say" as she grows impatient in her. "He said the documents, my lady" she knew that's what he'll probably asked for but she as to play safely in order not be found guilty about the documents.

"Okay, you can leave" 

"Thank you, my lady"

She now has only 10hours before nightfall to get ready to leave this bloodsucker place. She gets up to check where she kept the documents but couldn't find them. But how? How come the documents are not there? She kept them there, who could have taken them? She was devastated and confused but Riccardo had never gotten away from her side since last night who's exactly take it, she checked again and again but couldn't find it, she checked all other places but still can't find it. She sat down on the bed to recalls who might have taken it right under her nose without her awareness. 

Is it Anna, is it the maid who informs her about Leonardo's message, or is it Riccardo himself? These questions running through her mind. Maybe someone was playing with her mind.

"Matteo, are the arrangements ready?" He asked, "yes Lord, what's about the documents did she know you took them?" 

"Hmmm, that's not the problem. Just prepares for her to leave tonight during the meeting hours" 

"Yes lord" Matteo bow down his head for respect. "What about Mattia? Is he getting ready for the night preparation?" 

"Yes, he just wants to keep his husband's mouth shut you know the way Franco's mouth runs"

"Then he should better shut it "

"Lord!" Mattia runs into the room in a hurry,

"Why are you calling me like a mad dog!" Riccardo roars at him. "Sorry my lord, I thought I'll be punished for coming late to the meeting" 

"Yes, you'll if you don't keep quiet!" 

"Sorry Lord forgive my inconvenience"

"Now, we're here no one should know about our decision not even your father Matteo" he turns to Matteo, "yes my lord, your secret is safe with me"

"What about Carmella? Will, she accepted to go with us?" Mattie asked, 

"No, take her in her sleep"

"But why? She needs to be aware that you're trying to keep her safe"

"Shut the fuck up and do what I asked!" He roars and left the room. 

"Guess you and Franco are met to be forever" Matteo chuckled and Left him.

"But... I was only trying to help!" 

She looks at the time of the clock on the room wall. There's still time left, first, she has to meet Leonardo for him not to be suspicious of her. She quickly cleans up the mess she made and departed her way out of the room. She takes in a deep breath before entre Leonardo's chamber. 

"My beautiful Carmella what keeps you so long for replying to my request?" He said standing up from his rocking chair. 

"You know I'm held captive," 

"Yeah" he hugged her. " Please have a seat" she sat down on one of couch in his living chamber, "now, have you gotten the documents" 

"No, I haven't found the hidden room in his chamber, I have tried but to no value" 

"Carmella, you need to try hard. If you want the bastard to be bought down on his knees" 

"I promise, I'll do my best on this just give me some more time on this"

"I believe in you Carmella" he stands up from his seat to sit closer to her. "Carmella" he touches her soft arms. "I'm here to protect you always feel free around me" he whispered closer to her ears. "I love the way you sent" he inhales the smell of her hair. 

"Leonardo, I think I have to go now," she said wanted to get up but garbs her back to himself. "Please stays"  he whipped

"No, I'm sorry but.. " she was cut short by his lips place on hers. She pushed him off and slapped him on his face, " what's wrong with you?" She runs out. " Carmella! Wait!" He calls out. 

"Where do you think you're going to!" Alessandro roars, drags him back by his shoulder causing him to fall down. "You son of a bitch! Haven't I told you to stay away from her!"  He hit him hard on his abdomen. He rolling in pain looking for something to used to defend himself. 

"You're just like your stupid father who always putting his hands where he should be!" He hit him again and again. 

"Now you're going to die as he did! No one touches the Francesco family property!" He keeps on kicking him on his stomach, following wherever he rolls to. Leonardo rolls to a table where he used for his morning tea, lay on the table a little kitchen knife. He garbs it quickly before Alessandro could reach him. 

"Sorry, Alessandro, you're looking at your next king" he garbs the knife directly at his stomach. " It will start tonight too bad you wouldn't see it" he whispered, deeps the knife harder inside him. " I'll be the fucking next lord not your asshole nephew Riccardo" he pushes him down to suffocate to death.

"Guards!" He calls, " take the asshole fucker out of my sight!" The men hurry drags his dead body and dumps him into where the dead bodies were kept. This is the beginning of his victory, soon enough everything will belong to him. Sweet this fucking sick but amazing to watch! 

Everything he's doing now is just the beginning. Carmella ran into Riccardo's chamber, what has come over him? He has never acted this way to her not before but why now? He must be fucking sick thinking there are more to their relationship.  She keeps on breathing hard to catch her before Riccardo enters the room. He notices the way she was breathing,

"Are you okay?" He asked staring at her.

"Yeah just catching my breath from the previous race I told upon myself."

"Okay," hugged her and left again. It seems something is amiss here, Riccardo has been acting strange with her, or is he worried about her?  She couldn't tell but have to prepare herself before midnight.

She starts picking up things she wants for tonight so she won't be in a hurry when Anna comes.

Now it's 11:00 pm, she couldn't sit as she rolls around the room her eyes fixed on the clock. Where's Anna? She calls, waiting patiently for her alarm. Have something happens to her or what?  She finally decided to sit down waits for her, one eye on the clock and the other on the door, expecting any knock on the door. After 15 minutes of waiting, the door was finally knocked. " Anna" she calls first to be sure. " Yes, my lady" the door was open by the waiting security guard outside the room. Anna came in, Carmella was so happy she made it. 

Now, they have to find a way for the guard not to know about their plans, "are you ready" she asked, "Yes, I'm" 

"Okay, there's a secret passage out of this mansion that will take you out of this estate" 

"Oh really?" 

"Yeah"

"But, what about the guards, how are we going to make it without them not knowing" 

"Leave that to me, I have made a promise I choose to protect it with all my life, come let go" she garbs Carmella on the hand. 

"Wait, thank you" Carmella hugged her. 

"There's no time, we have to leave before they come back" 

They walked out of the room with the accommodation of the two loyal security guards of Carmella. They get to the kitchen door. "Please wait outside the lady would like to make her meal herself without any disturbers," Anna said. "Who the hell are you to give us order, you common maid!" One of them roars at her. " Are you stupid! It's an order from me and you dare address her as a maid before me?  I think your head should be cut off when Riccardo comes back!" Carmella plays. 

"Sorry my lady please forgive us, we're just following the orders of the Lord" they apologized " what about mine order!" She roars at them to frighten their spirits. "Please we begged on our life's forgiven our stupidity"  Getting satisfied with the way they plead on  with fear. 

"Okay, apologies forgiven"

"Thank you, my lady"

"Anna, let's go in" she ordered.

There were no maids in the kitchen, everywhere was silently like the desert. 

"Are you sure nobody was there?" Carmella asked. " Yes nobody will come in"

She pushed a side the fridge there is a passage there. "Will it be enough for both of us?" She asked again. "Yes, but only for you"

"Me? But why? Are you not tired of living here?"

"Carmella, someone has to covered up for you when you left if not they will find you"

"But Anna" she held her hand " I need you beside me. I can't do this by myself"

"Carmella, listen to me" she directly into her eyes. " This is my path I choose, all these years I have waited for you and now my job has been done to keep you safe away from this nightmare of Mafias hood. We have suffered a lot because of this circle. I lost everything I love and I don't want you to experience the same. Now is the time to go"

Then they heard someone calling to Carmella, that's must be Leonardo but why?

"Carmella, you have to go!" She alarmed

"No not without you!"

"Carmella, they're coming for you listen someone is waiting for you outside the back of the estate. Her name is Bianca"

"But.." before Carmella could finish her word, Anna pushed her into the big hole pole and covered it immediately before anyone steps in. The door was opened through force. "Where's she?!" Leonardo thunder's voice asked. " I. I don't... know, my lord" Anna speaks out in fear, " you don't know you slut" drags her on the hair. "Who do you think you're playing games with? Huh Anna? Or should I said, Bella" 

"Please, Leonardo I swear I don't know" 

"How dare you call me by my name instead of the word lord!" He slaps her and grabs her hair again, this time harder and tighter. "Who do you think you're fooling? You can fool Riccardo but not me Bella!"

He pulled her hair so hard. " After all these years you still look young and fresh, wow! I must comments the women Riccardo comes across are fucking amazing, what do you think?"

"Please believe me when I say I don't know, she told me she will be back that' I should wait here but I don't know where she went"

"And you expect me to believe that shit! You're her nanny right from the kid and you're telling me you don't know! You may have escaped her death once but not this time my precious love! Guards!"

"Lord!" The chorus

"Keep her with the others until she's ready to speak out!" 

Anna was dragged away. Leonardo's chance of the complete lord has gone, Carmella. He didn't get his hands on the documents and he didn't fucks Carmella to impregnate her! This is the worst plan of his life but he is now the mafia King by this time Riccardo must be dead by now, because that poison is deathly. He chuckled to his one achievement plan now is to find the girl and complete the ritual. Carmella would have gone too far.

Still, in the slippery hole, Anna pushed her in, didn't know where this hole is taking her to. She landed on a messy grasses pack at the back of the fence. She made it, she's alive. Her thoughts went back to Anna, imagine what she'll be going through now because of her. She looks around and saw a car pack on the edge of the field as if everything was already planned. A lady came back walking towards her. " Rosa" her calls and ran up to hug her, she was surprised she also knows her real name maybe she's the one Anna describe to her, Bianca. "Thank God you're okay" she exclaims after hugging her. 

"Hi" she said nervously.

"You have her voice, your mother will be so happy to know you're alive till this day" 

"Please, who are you?" She asked wanting to know this mystery woman Anna direct her to.

"I know you have a lot to ask for now, but not here we have to go before they catch up to us," she said as they walk their way into the car and drove off. 

Leonardo went back to the high court. 

"You guys told me, I'm the lord and have the sacrifice performed by me!" He roars 

"We never said you have the chance to perform the ritual, we only said you can be the next lord, not the rightful head" one of the highest court lords speaks. 

"What the fuck! After all, I have done to be here!" 

"Keep your voice down! You young souls are always restless to understand the process!"  Another darks back at him.

"You're just as foolish as your father, after all, we told him, he still disappoints us even that your so-called uncle Alfonso, you're all foolish!"

"They're but not me, I have put an end to the Francesco family regin and regained what rightful belongs to the Mars all these years and you open your mouth and call me foolish?"

They chuckles at him, he was surprised by their laughter at him. " You thought you have conquered  the Francesco?" 

"Yes, I have!" 

"No my dear the head is still breathing and he'll come for you! You bastard!"

"I told you all we shouldn't make the same we did in the past and see him just as his stupid father! The Mars is only good on the bed with women and nothing more!"

"Are you saying Riccardo's must still be alive?"

"Yes, you fool, of course, he has the ancient spirit of the Francesco with him. The Francisco never die that easy except one thing the girl, you must found her and got her pregnant before he found her!"

"This sacrifice must be carried out that's if you want to be the true lord"

"Anything you say my lords your wish is my command"

"That's right" they laughed out in their devilish way.

"I can't believe that bastard turned against us!" Matteo grinds

"Well that's doesn't have to be a surprise to us, we all know Leonardo wants more than begin a second commander in the circle, he just operated as his father," Mattia said hands on his cheeks.

"If I get my hands on him am going to kill him myself!" Lucia roars.

"We should forget about the stupid asshole Leonardo for now and worries about the well begin of the lord" Mia said behind the door.

"Mia!" Mattie calls, Mattia twin brother.
