'Wow,' I said smilingly and walked to Ted. 'You really need to teach that girl her limit because one day, she will pull a bullet into your head.'
'She has to be stronger than I am,'
'Sometimes, it is best if the student doesn't out pass the master, for the sake of his life. If you really love yours, you would show that kid who's boss. She's just seven… Almost eight… I don't know, and she's already questioning your authority, making you seem like a weakling.…'
'I am not a weakling,' he grunted.
'Tell that to your men who are growing more afraid of her than they are of you, use your head, bro, use your head. By the time she becomes a teenager, you will be put six feet under because even though you love her dearly, she will grow out of love for you and do whatever it takes to get to the top. You are making her too power greedy too early, take care of that.' I concluded and walked off to find Ursula, so I could bruise her face.
Bruce followed behind in silent, a bit in shock. 'They are right, she is to be feared more than her father. The boss might be cruel, but there is a limit to which he hurts women.'
'And that I have made a priority, Yolanda's tail must be cut before it's too late.' I said with determination.
'I'm impress, you are taking something serious for the first time,' he said drily. Trust me, dude, you haven't seen me in serious mode.
Marilyn's standpoint (Ursula)
I sighed tiredly as I washed my hands at the tap outside, being a maid is much more difficult than I thought. I dried my hands at the side of my dress, mind flashing to Cookie and what she might be going through. I heard she was working as Boss's personal maid and I knew he used my info to cage her, I felt terrible. I didn't have a choice, I was so afraid I couldn't lie like she would. I am not like her; I can't face my fear, I am not fearless like her, I can't stand up against people like Boss, I am just not Cookie.
I hope she would forgive me one d… I was turned around quickly and a heavy punch landed on my face. I screamed and crashed on the floor in a flustered state as pain surged through my face. 'You bastard!' My heart sank into my stomach. 'How could you turn against me like that!' She yelled angrily. I managed to look at her apologetically.
'He…h…h…h…'
'Threatened you, of course I know! But unlike you, I will rather die than tell on a friend, tell on someone I care about! I am here today because of you! I should be at home, living like it is not my business, but here I am suffering for being your roommate!'
'I'm sorry…'
'Sorry,' she scoffed. 'He has the two people I care about the most with explosive nanochips in them, so tiny no one can detect it. I have to labor and make sure he doesn't press the button, or they die, all thanks to you!'
'I am not like you!' I yelled back. 'I'm not bold, clever, smart and always prepared for anything like you, Cookie!' I shouted. 'I am weak, soft, and a girl trying to run away from her brother. If you were me and Boss looks into your eyes, can you withstand him? Will you be able to lie?' I sobbed. 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Vee, I didn't mean it. I am here alone; scared, afraid that I might die any moment from now, frightened by the way the men looks at me, scared of getting raped allover a…' She hugged me, I didn't see her get on her knees, but I relaxed into her hold.
'I promise you, Ursula, nothing will ever happen to you, I give you my words.' She said with a shaky voice.
'You are not here to protect me,' I cried.
'You are a mafia's sister, you must have learned a thing or two. I will try from my angle, have you moved to the main house, so I can keep an eye on you.'
'I wanna go home,' I sobbed. She pulled back and smiled painfully.
'By the look of it, kitty, we are already home. All we need to do now is use what we have to get what we want.'
'How do you mean?' She didn't say anything, just stood up with a sly smile and nodded at the man standing a bit far from us.
'You will hear from me soon, kitty, be safe.' She turned and walked off to join the man, what is she wearing?
