Antonio could see fear in her brown eyes, as she stood up slowly from the ground but he couldn't care less. She killed one of his men and she must pay for her crimes.
"Why did you kill him?" He asked her.
Gemma shook her head negatively. Her body trembled in fear. She couldn't even bring herself to speak.
"Tell me, who are you working for? Who sent you? Dante?" Antonio asked.
"I don't…don't know what you're talking about," she said with a shaky voice.
"Don't lie to me" Antonio screamed, hitting the table hard.
"I didn't kill me. Believe me, I'm innocent. I didn't kill him" she cried out, rubbing her palms together, pleading desperately.
"There's a gun in her bag," Luca said.
Antonio raised his eyebrow at her when Luca mentioned the gun.
"I took it to defend myself. I don't even know how to shoot a gun" she cried.
"You're the last person to leave the room. How else do you want to explain it?" Antonio asked.
"I ran off to escape you when you left the room hurriedly and I forgot my bag in the room. I came back to get the bag of money because I couldn't let go of the money then I saw him dead on the floor. He died before I came in. I didn't do it, I swear. I'm innocent" she explained.
"And you want me to believe you? Why did you run off then?" Antonio asked.
"That was the only thing I could think of. I wanted to defend myself" Gemma replied.
Antonio was quiet for a while. Then he lit a cigarette, he took puffs from it while pacing around the room. The whole room was silent as no one was speaking. Only Gemma's light sobs could be heard.
"I already sent a message across to Dante that I have one of his subordinates with me. His reply would confirm everything" Antonio finally said.
Just as he finished speaking, his phone beeped on the table as a message just came in.
"You don't have any of my men with you. My men took one of your men down. It should have been you, you're just lucky enough" Antonio read aloud and chuckled loudly.
"I just got a message from Dante. I guess you're not working for him" he said to Gemma.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I won't let you go. You're suspicious and you already know too much" Antonio said, shattering the little hope she's starting to have.
"Who would have believed that you're the daughter of Leonardo Russo? the man who owes me too much money. That is also another reason to keep you here" he said.
"There's money in the bag. I promise to work harder and pay off the debt. Please, just let me go" she pleaded.
"I'm never letting you go. I don't need the money anymore" Antonio replied harshly.
"What do you want from me?" She asked.
"Be my sex slave," Antonio blurted out.
Gemma looked up in astonishment, she blinked her eyes rapidly, her mouth opened in shock as she stared at Antonio looking like she had seen a ghost. Her face suddenly went pale and dried like all her blood had dried up.
"What…what did…did you just say?" She stammered, forcing the words out of her mouth.
"You heard me right. You'll be my sex slave for a hundred days" Antonio repeated.
GEMMA
I just heard the most ridiculous thing in my whole life.
"This is absurd. This is ridiculous. This is so stupid. Your sex slave? Hundred days? You must be joking" I berated, gesticulating angrily with my hands in the air.
A hot slap landed on my cheeks throwing me off guard. I wasn't expecting the slap.
"You don't talk to me like that" Antonio spat out harshly.
"And like I told you before, I don't take no for an answer" he said.
"But I can't do it" I cried out, my face still stung from the slap I just received.
"Do you want to go to jail and be sentenced to life imprisonment for killing Emiliano? Or do you want me to kill you here and right now? I'll tear your flesh apart and slice even the last piece of your bones" he threatened and I shivered in fear.
"Why me?" I asked, the tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Why you? Why you?" He asked and chuckled loudly.
"I also don't know. What I know is that you'll submit to me and do anything and everything I want you to do" he replied confidently.
"I prefer to die instead," I said.
"I would gladly grant you your wish but then, you would have to witness the death of the most important person in your life, your best friend, before you die" Antonio threatened.
Gabriella!! No, she can't die, not my best friend, not Gabriella.
"Don't harm her please. She has nothing to do with all of this mess. She's innocent, please don't harm her" I begged desperately.
"If you want to save your best friend then you'll do as I say" Antonio replied.
"You're so cruel! You're a monster! You're a cold hearted being" I screamed angrily.
Antonio walked dangerously to me and gripped me roughly by my jaw and made me face him. He stared dangerously into my eyes, his eyes spitting fire and brimstone.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that. Do you want to die?" He growled.
"I'm sorry" I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry" I pleaded. He let go of my jaw forcefully and my neck made a weird sound. He didn't care if I was going to break my neck or not.
"So what is it? You submit to me? Or you and your best friend die?" He asked.
"I submit to you," I whispered.
"You'll be my sex slave. Say it" Antonio commanded.
"I'll be…be…your sex slave" I stammered, my tears falling freely.
"Good" he chuckled and clapped excitedly.
I watched him walk back to the table. He took a file and summoned me to come over to the table.
I walked clumsily to the table.
"Hurry up. Walk faster" Antonio screamed at me.
I forced myself to walk faster to the table. He opened the file and gave me a pen.
"Sign the contract" he instructed.
"What?" I asked foolishly.
"Sign it" he barked.
I clumsily signed the contract. I didn't even read it as I didn't want to make this monster get angrier than he's now.
He already prepared for everything.
"Perfect. You're my sex slave now. You're mine and mine alone for the next hundred days" he said and smiled victoriously.
