Chapter 4

Nathalia's POV

"A-am I g-gonna be a-auctioned too?" I asked.

I saw him stiffened a bit. That means....yes.

"You see, it's not my decision-" he said. But I cut him off.

"I understand." I said. I continued eating quietly.

"Hey don't let it get to you." Mason said.

"Yeah..." I said. I took our plates.

"I'm g-gonna wash these...u-uhmmm...where's the-" I asked.

"It's over there." Mason said pointing a door.

"O-okay t-thanks." I said.

I washed our plates and went back to my room.

*time skip*

1 week after....

"Hey Nathalia wake up!"

"okay okay..." I said in a sleepy voice.

I looked up to see a guy that looks like Mason but isn't Mason.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"What are you talking about? it's me Mason." he said.

"No you are not." I said.

"What? I'm Mason." he said.

"Can you just tell me who are you?" I asked.

By the way my speech has improved all thanks to Mason.

"Hahaha! okay I give up! bro get in here!" He yelled.

The door opened and I guess it was Mason that came in.

"How did you know it wasn't me?" Mason asked.

I shrugged. Instincts? I guess.

"I just did." I said.

Both of them smiled at me.

"So who is He?" I said pointing at the guy who looks like Mason.

"Oh yeah right this is Simon my twin Brother." He said.

Simon went near me and aim for a hug but I didn't move.

"Simon Sanders, nice to meet you." He said smiling.

"Nathalia Hendrickson, nice to meet you too." I said shaking his hand.

"So anyways why haven't I seen you here before?" I asked.

"Oh...I was at the Mafia House. That's why-" he said.

"Mafia House?" I asked.

"Yeah that's where we stay." Mason answered.

"Oh..." I said.

"So you guys wanna eat?" Simon said.

"Sure." Mason and I said in unison.

"Come on let's go raid the kitchen." Simon said.

We went downstairs and then to the kitchen.

"So anyways why are you here Nathalia?" Simon asked.

"According to what Mason said and to summarize it...I'm here to be auctioned." I said.

"Why? what happened?" he asked.

"Well the person who adopted me owe a lot of money to the mafia so he brought me here and sold me." I said.

"Woah...ummm...I don't know what to say." Simon said.

"It's okay...at least I got to meet great human beings." I said.

"Well I'm glad to meet one of the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen." Mason said.

"Flatterer." I said.

"I'm not! right?" he asked Simon.

"Let's just pretend I agreed." Simon said smiling at me.

"Unsupportive twin." Mason muttered.

"Hahahaha what I'm said? I agreed!" Simon laughed.

I just smiled at them....I wish I had a sibling like them. Maybe I would be just as happy.

"By the way guys don't you have work to do? Come to think of it, what is your job?" I asked.

They stiffened as their faces turned white.

"U-Uhmmm I'm a... we're a..." Mason stuttered.

"What he means is we...ummm...you know...in a break! yes we're on a vacation from our job." Simon said.

"What is your job?" I asked.

"Uhmmmm we're..." Simon said.

"Dude let's just tell her the truth." Mason said.

"We're from the Elite Mafia." Simon said.

Mafia....

My heart beat raced. I remembered the news. It said that the mafia beats up people. If you witnessed or learn something about them they shoot you or beat you up until you die.

I remembered how Bruno would beat me up. His belt lashes in my flesh. He pulls my hair and slaps my cheek.

I thought I escaped from all the beatings but here I am in front of a mafia member.

I started to shiver in fear. I hurriedly ran to my room and locked my door. No no no this can't be happening again.

*tok* *tok* *tok*

"Nathalia please open up!" I heard Simon said.

"Nathalia please!" Mason said.

"No please go away!" I yelled.

I felt myself shaking and at the verge of crying. I got to escape.

*blag* *blag* *blag*

"Nathalia open the door please!" Mason said.

"No No No! Please leave me alone!" I yelled.

I cowered in a corner crying. I wanna leave...I wanna get out of here.

*blag*

I yelled as the door knocked down. I push myself to cower in the corner.

I heard footsteps walking closer to me. I slightly looked up to see who it is.

I saw a buff guy with piercing blue eyes wearing a suit with his hair up.

He was staring at me like for a minute then he snapped out of daze.

He then knelt down to my level.

"Hey there." He said softly.

His presence was intimidating. He was about to reach for my cheek when I cowered and avoided his touch thinking he would slap me.

I shut my eyes close and waited for an impact but nothing happened instead of his hand caressing my cheek.

"Such a beauty." He whispered.

I just stared at his blue eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

I just nodded in fear.

Suddenly a phone rang and he cursed as he answered it. He stood up and went to the corner opposite to where I am.

"Hello?" he answered.

........

"What?" he said.

........

"Can't you solve it on your own?" he said.

........

"Where are you?" he asked.

........

"Fine I'm coming. I'll be there after five minute. Hang on." he said.

He then looked at me. His gaze was showing no emotion at all. I do not know if I should be scared. He walked towards me then knelt again to my level.

"I'm sorry but I have to leave now." he said.

He held my cheek and caressed it.

"I'll be back tomorrow." He said.

I just nodded in fear.

He stood up and started walking to the door.

"W-wait what's y-your name?" I said softly.
