Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle stood waiting for the vendor to give her the money so that she can be on the way, she wasted so much time trying to find a new buyer, she didn’t want Luciano to discover that she was missing even though the possibility of that not happening was lean, she just hoped he hadn’t started looking for her and that he won’t when she is still in the city, she needs to be as far away from Russia as she could and wasting this much time wasn’t helping her case, she still didn’t have any plans yet, first, she would take a bus out of the city and makes sure to go as far away from Moscow as possible.

If only she had been able to sell off the clothes and jewelry the night before, or if the buyer who gave her hope had not disappointed her, then she would have been on the way already, unfortunately, it was hard to find a new buyer as the clothes were expensive looking, she spent the almost the whole day trying to find a new buyer online but there weren’t many people interested in getting it from her, just when she was about to lose hope completely, this woman had come like a rare sigh of blessing and agreed to buy from her for an amount better than what she had bargained with the other buyer who had not shown up.

The buyer finally came out with the money and once she handed it to her, Arielle thanked her and walked out of the shop, wondering which direction to take, she needed to get out of Moscow so fast, and from there she would know how to leave the country, she really needed to leave no matter how hard it would be for her to start a life outside of the place she knew, it was better than being someone’s slave.

Her best belt was to pick countries that Russian passport holders can enter visa-free, hopefully, she would find one, which lead her to remember something important.

“Oh lord no,”

She cried as she remembered she hadn’t taken her passport or even her identity card, she stopped and checked her bag that she carried even though she knew it wasn’t there, the last time she used her identity card, she had kept it inside her black purse which she didn’t bring with her, that she should have been the first thing she should have taken, it was the most important thing.

“I am so stupid, Arielle you are so stupid, how can you be so stupid?”

She cried, there was no helping the tears now, all the stress from the previous night and today and she forgot the most important thing? How could she? Now she had to go back to the place she ran away from, a place where Luciano would probably already be looking for her, it was way passed four pm already.

Now she didn’t have a choice but to go back and get her passport, she couldn’t leave without it, where would she go without her identity? And her passport? There was no going around it, she had to go back to the house she thought she would never see again, and she was no way near being happy, her passport should have been with her, now she just needed to find a way to get it without Luciano finding her.

“I am so stupid,”

She told herself once again wiping her tears as she hailed a taxi and got in, she told him where she was going and rested her head on the car seat, nothing was working out for her and she had her parents to blame, if they had just left and not sold her off, then she would have been able to get her life in order, but they just had to take money on her and flew without warning her.

When she got out of the cab, she didn’t take the direct way home, just in case Luciano was at her front house, she took a different route that cars can’t take and walked as fast as her tired legs and body could carry her praying in her mind as she went that she would be able to successfully get the passport without getting noticed and get the hell out of there in time.

She should have been on her way out of Moscow already, she should have done better for herself.

“It will be fine, I am going to be just fine,”

She told herself even though it was hard for her to believe those words, she didn’t think she would be fine for a long time even if she can leave, it would be hard to settle down and start a new life with people she didn’t know and a different culture from the one she knew, language too, she only knew her local language and English, nothing more.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Which is why you need to choose an English-speaking country,”

The voice in her head advised and the nodded, she just had to check out her best bet, she knew it may be limited since she still had to choose a visa-free country.

Arielle looked up, she was almost close to her house, just three more turns and she would be there, she hoped no one was in her house and prayed for good luck for once.

“Why did you have to make it so hard to be found? I can’t believe I suffered this much, where the fuck have you been? We have been looking for you for hours!”

A voice she has heard before yelled, she turned around in fear as two men walked toward her, one of whom she had met the night before, Luciano’s men, she was right, they have been looking for her and they didn’t look pleased.

“Oh no,”

She cried as she backed away, she couldn’t let herself be caught now, without any thoughts, she turned and ran…
