Lust And Revenge by Reginah Shadreck (mystery books to read .TXT) 📗

We help Lucas finish packing and Giovanni has someone send him off, I stand there by the door even after the car is long gone, I've raised , failed as a sister, I can't protect my siblings.

Just then I feel someone wrap their arms around me startling me ,I turn and come face to face with Giovanni who smirks devilishly at me.

"Why the long face you still have me",he says and kisses my forehead,the way he's looking at me makes me feel uncomfortable I don't know why but my fright or flight reflex kicks in and I begin to struggle. But seeing me struggle he glares at me and I can see his jaw tick a habit I've come to notice he only does when he is upset most especially with me.

"My mother will be leaving with your younger brother so he can keep her company",he says and sniffs my hair.

" What?why?are you crazy? I'm not going to let that happen",I yell.

" Shhh don't raise your voice at me dollface",he says and fists my hair pulling it tightly."your family ours is too much, your brother will substitute for Federico",.

" That will never happen over my dead body,you bastard, you're out of you mind if you think I'll let that bat shit crazy mother of yours raise my brother",I say despite feeling my skull painful burn from him pulling my hair.

"I don't like this smart mouth of yours,a woman should never speak unnecessarily and should agree with her husband but you are one disobedient little bitch",he says and pushes me to the ground.

" I never asked to be your wife you forced me, I'm not the one the killed your brother,I was never there! Why should my brothers and I pay for something that is my mother's fault,we were never there!",I yell as tears stream down my face,they can't take away my brothers I won't let them.

He kicks me and I curled into a ball as more tears stream down my face,he grabs me by the hair and calmly says to my face "don't fucking raise your voice",he says.

" Nithia what's wrong?",a tiny voice says and looks down the stairs, Giovanni lets go of me and I look up to see Mason holding Lydia's hand.

"I don't you not to run down the stairs,you act like a child", Giovanni says smiling at me and helps me get up. I'm in so much pain I can't stand upright so he carries me bridal style and walks up the stairs.

"Will she be alright?I don't want to go if she's hurt", Mason says and holds my hand.

Giovanni tightly squeezes me in his embrace and I feel like he'll crash me so I smile weakly at my brother " Mason I'm okay baby, I'll be fine as long you're with me",I say,I won't allow them to take him away.

Giovanni carries me to the bedroom with Mason following closely behind us with Lydia,he puts me on the bed and tells Anna to call a doctor.

"Federico my love lets leave your sister to rest", Lydia trys to coax him to leave with her but even though I'm in pain and feel like I'll pass out at any moment I hold his hand tight and his name is not Federico I want to say but the pain is unbearable.

"I'll just stay here with Nithia",he says and lays down next to me " you'll be alright",he whispers and pecks me.

Later the doctor walks in and asks everyone to leave he lifts up my shirt and looks at the place Giovanni kicked me. He finishes examining me and goes me some pain killers and other medicine, oils and cream to get rid of the bruising.

After Anna leaves I ask her to help me to the bathroom and while in there I lift up my shirt and I look at my stomach badly bruised.

I have to find a way to get out of here even if I crawl out of this place.

I come out and see Mason who runs to me and holds my hand,he leads me to the bed and offers me a cup of tea. "Here Nithia drink I'll take care of you just like you take care of me when I'm sick or hurt",he sweetly says.

" Come Mason lay down with me for a moment",I say after drinking the tea he gave me. My brothers belong to me forever and always, tomorrow when I burn this place down I'm leaving with my brother. With that resolve I fall asleep with Mason wrapped in my arms.
