Mr Karusso avoided me. He avoided me ever since he apologized to me yesterday.

Today nothing much really happened. I just woke up and went to work with the new outfit Liana bought for me. I got many compliments from My colleagues, they never really talked to me until now. All they did when I got here is give me snarky glares and glares of envy.

I wonder what they are envying about me because all they are envying is a life full of troubles.

I finished up cooking my noodles and sat by the couch watching TV as I munched down on my noodles.

I had finished packing up clothing and the necessities that I will need while staying in France.

I didn't want to go back and face Uncle William and aunt Janine especially Lilly because she will get the wrong ideas of me and Mr Karusso.

Mr Karusso and I aren't even friends. He is my boss. Worst of all he avoids me.

My phone buzzed, and I opened the text from an unknown number.

^^^' It's Judith, send me your location and I will be^^^

^^^there at 9AM. '^^^

No hi. No hello and No how are you. He didn't at leastt bother to greet me.

^^^' I won't send you my location unless you greet me properly. '^^^

I could smell his eye roll and frustration from afar.

He deleted the message and retyped it.

^^^' Hello caramella. Send me your location and I will be there by 9AM 🙄^^^

^^^~J. '^^^

I don't kNow why but the word after Hello and the eye roll emoji sent butterflies flying in my stomach.

I sent him my location and saved his number.

..." my wonderful brother in law 🤬"...

The flight tomorrow with him is going to be the flight of my life.

I went back into my room and tugged myself to sleep.

' " Uncle William please. No !. Don't do this to me. I promise that I will stop eating even if I am starving badly "my sobs echoed throughout the room.

" Shut up you little piece of shit "Uncle William growled as I felt a sharp pain go through my tiny little cheeks

He tied my little hands with the long string of rope that hung from the tree.

" Stop f-ing sobbing "he growled at me.

I followed his command as he began hitting my ***** body with another string of thick rope.

The men who stood around the tree looked at my body with lust.

One of the men who looked extremely wealthy walked up to me and disgusting touched my - '

My alarm beeped, and I quickly woke up to reality.

I hadn't had those nightmares ever since I moved out of France and away from the Devereaux's.

But they decided to waltz back into my life like a lost puppy as soon as I was about to go back to the country that carried those nightmares.

I shook off the thought of that nightmare and went to my shower freshening myself up.

Today I was in no mood ofmemories because I had a flight with Satan to take.

France was int the middle of winter so I settled with long warm clothing.

I thank Liana very much because without her. I would be going to France with my boss otherwise future brother-in-law in old run down clothes.

I grabbed my suitcases as I walked out my apartment locking up the door.

I stood outside as I waited for Mr Karusso.

9 AM hit,, and I heard a very loud chilling sound echo.

Dust blew onto my face as a sleek black Porsche 911 parked in front of me.

I went to the trunk and put my suitcases in the trunk and, some in the backseat because my suitcases all never fit in the trunk.

I could see Mr Karusso grinning ear to ear.

He surely planned this.

I walked to the passenger seat and myself comfortable as I looked out the window and Mr Karusso sped his car up.

" Please drive slower . You will kill us "I panicked, but he drove faster .

I gave up with panicking and telling him to drive slower.

We got to a stylish private Airport and a chauffeur stood there along with flight attendants who clearly looked like they only worked there to seduce Mr Karusso. I cringed.

The pilots and co-pilots stood along with the chief pilot.

One of the chauffeurs opened the driver's door as Mr Karusso walked out followed by my door and I walked out.

The chief pilot walked towards Mr Karusso who offered to shake his hand but Mr Karusso didn't shake his hand and just stared down at it.

" Mr Karusso "the chief pilot smiled politely at Mr Karusso then turned to me

He offered his hand towards mine and I shook his hand.

I felt Mr Karusso's gaze lurch on my neck.

" Mrs Karusso "the chief pilot politely smiled at Me.

my face flashed into a deep red color.

Karusso and I went into the jet black plane with gold rims and a symbol on its tip

the chauffeur carried our luggage into the plane.

the interior of the plane was black and wasn't an ordinary plane you'd see.

there was a bed on the corner with a huge flat-screen bed in frontt of it.

the seats faced each other and a pristine white table in between Them

The Plane's interior looked more like a hotel suite than a actual plane.

A first class experience just with different shades of black and white annd that same symbol from the tip of the plane AND LED lights illuminating the plane in different colours.

I took a seat as Mr Karusso followed and sat across me.

A feeling I have never felt before rushed through me. I looked away and faced the window.

“Ladies and gentlemen, all cellular telephones and other portable electronic devices, such as CD players and laptop computers, must be turned off and stowed for departure. Thank-you.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Our flight is ready for departure.”

" Please buckle up your seat belts "

The same boring speech I heard on all the flights I have been in echoed throughout the plane.

I felt his strong Gaze on me. His gaze never got off me and I tried to ignore it.

I didn't want to get My boss angry.

the rest of the flight was awkwardly silent mainly because Mr Karusso didn't take off his nasty gaze off me.

We got to France and as expected it was cold.

People seemed to look at Mr Karusso with respect and fear.

" Lead the way. You know where your childhood home is "Karusso ushered me.

" And you seem to want us to walk from Paris to Chamonix "I growled at him. Mr Karusso was so busy on his Phone that he hadn't realized that we needed a cab.

It was 11PM in Paris,, and we'd arrived around 10PM.

It was now a dangerous hour.

" Clearly you don't have the patience and energy to walk. I was requesting damn helicopter to take us there" he growled back at me clearly annoyed of my presence.

A minute later the helicopter landed in the middle of the park that we were in.

The helicopter was black and had that same symbol from the plane.

what's wIth this man and the color black and that that symbol.

even his industrial company is called Black.

we got in the helicopter.

Within minutes, We were in Chamonix.

I dragged Mr Karusso to the home that I never wanted to return to.

The eerie traumatizing bell chimed.

The house alone made me shake. it reminded me of all the trauma that I have faced while living here.

that yellow color matched well wIth my crimson liquid That constantly splashed on the wall during my childhood.

the door opened and a maid led us to The sitting room where Uncle William sat happily at the head of the table.

Aunt Janine, and Lilly were both sat beside him chatting away happily.

" Mr and Mrs Devereaux , Ms Devereaux. They're here "the maid softly spok

" They ?" Aunt Janine frowned in confusion then her attention turned to me.

Anger flashed in her eyes then to polite when she saw Mr Karusso.

She walked towards us both happily.

She was truly not happy to see me there with Mr Karusso.

" Judith- "Mr Karusso cut Aunt Janine off" I didn't give you permission to call me by my first name "

" Mr Karusso then and Belle my favorite niece "she hugged me.

Uncle William too stood up and went towards us.

" Mr Karusso and Belle "He politely smiled at us.

Lilly was dressed like a leech as she lust fully walked towards Mr Karusso. I don't know What she attempted to do with that failed lust walk but then she looks better walking like a normal person.

Lilly's short dress that attempted to hug her figure made her figure look like a huge milk carton. Her *** was flat so it didn't suit he'd well.

If the shoe fits, wear it

If the shoe doesn't fit then don't wear it.

Uncle William sat at the head of the table.

I and aunt Janine sat besides Uncle William.

Mr Karusso sat next to me and Lilly sat across him.

Lilly clung on him like a leech.

" Judging by how your daughter is uncomfortably clinging on me like a lost leech. I might as well marry Belle "I choked on my salad as aunt Janine and Lilly glared at me.

" So how is the trash next to you your apprentice "Uncle William snickered.

" She's my fashion design executive. And how is trash like you running the French "Mr Karusso smirked at Uncle William.

Uncle William shut himself up immediately.

" The deal is finalized however I want you to sign this contract before I marry your little ***** Lilly "

Mr Karusso coldly said as he passed Uncle William the contract.

Uncle William read through it and suddenly turned to a blaze.

" WHAT THE **** DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE MARRYING BELLE INSTEAD OF LILLY !? "Uncle William yelled.

" you either sign the contract or the French and Italians will never have an alliance "Karusso smirked at Uncle William.

" After all Your niece that you abused for 12 years is better than that leechy **** you call a daughter "He angrily spat out.

He knew.

I looked at him in confusion.

" And the alliance can be formed when the true heiress of the French mafia marries the don of the Italian mafia "Mr Karusso smirked at Uncle William.

Lilly still clung onto Mr Karusso like a leech.

" If your little ***** doesn't get off me. The Devereaux's will be attending a funeral instead of a wedding "Mr Karusso growled.

I am not stressed that I would be, soon marrying a Itanlian don. I was stressed that Mr Karusso could be abusive like uncle William.

" the engagement will be in 2 weeks "Mr Karusso finalized as he pulled my hand out The house.

" Mr Karusso what the **** !? "I asked him furiously as rage consumed me. He dug up information about me without my consent.

" Go back there and tell them that you made a mistake with the contract "I pestered him.

" I made no mistake Caramella. They made the mistake of abusing you and treating you like shit. now I will treat you like the princess that you were always meant to be, but they didn't give you that privilege "He held my chin as he stared deep into my eyes.

" and what did I tell you about calling me Mr Karusso? "his eyes turned into a deep shade of gray.

my lIfe was moving too fast for me to process what the actual **** just happened.

2weeks ago I got the job as a fashion design executive. 2weeks later I am the wife to be of a dangerous Italian don
