Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 6
Enzo Marchetti The human Lennox enters my office with a reddened face, I can't stop looking at him and I can see in his eyes a deep hatred for me. -Signor Marchetti, non pud fermarlo (Mr. Marchetti, I couldn't stop you) - the concern on my secretary's face is quite noticeable. -Don't worry, I'll take care of the gentleman,” she nods and leaves, closing the door, “What brings you here? -I ask. -Don't play stupid with me! -he shouts. He's the stupidest human I've ever seen in my life, I don't understand how he dares to shout at me knowing that I have h by the testicles and that with a single order I can make him disappear from the face of the earth. -Mr. Lennox, do you see in my face any indication that I am aware of any situation of yours," he stares at me. “Where do you have my daughter? -he asks. -1 don't have your daughter,’ I answer seriously, “You and I have an agreement, I wouldn't go near her until two days after her birthday,” I remind him. Mia, she’s been missing since yesterday... And you assumed that I had kidnapped her, -I interrupt- I inform you that I am not her captor and that I keep my word, 1 Lennox, I hope you find your daughter, since you are very indebted to me, -I tell you. Only you can help me find her, please help me," he pleads. “What can a simple businessman like me do? -I question - I hope you find your daughter Mr. Lennox and thereby fulfil yo part of the bargain, - I concentrate on my computer screen and the last thing I hear from you is a sigh, and then my office door closing. After several hours of work I instruct Akor to buy the human and take her to my mansion in Umbria, I don’t want to expla to Kristin what I'm doing, as I have the idea that she will be filling me with questions that she won't have answers for. I have to travel today on business and I'll be back in two days, I hope the human behaves herself or else I'll have to come back sooner than I thought. Mia Lennox I had no choice but to let the elderly doctor check my body, I was not ashamed to be seen naked, as I had been through similar situations as a model. The man was very polite and professional, he didn't say much to me and for his safety I didn't speak more than necessary, I am not stupid and I know that if I ask him for help his life could be in danger. After the man left, they brought me something to eat and a change of clothes, I did not imagine that an auction would be like this, as the same girl who informed me of my situation told me that I was sold and would not give me more details about my buyer. That night I was escorted to a jeep, there was no one inside but the driver. The doors were locked and the car started, the didn't even bother to blindfold me to take me to that place and I understood why. Everything is dark and I can't see anything on the other side of the glass, I don't understand how that man can drive in the dark. The hours continue to pass and before I reach my destination, I can't help falling asleep, it's worrying, but I feel exhauste When I regain consciousness it's daylight and I'm in a room full of luxuries, I get out of bed and try to open the door, whit is locked. I sigh and slip through it, I will never leave this place and the mystery is consuming me from the inside, my parents must be very worried. Right now I feel so vulnerable and I don't hold back my tears, I cry silently until someone tries to open t door to the room. I move away and the door is opened by an elderly lady. -Buongiorno, segnorina, (Good morning, Miss),’ the woman I think sees the confusion on my face. -I don’t understand,” I mumble. -Ah... good morning, Miss,” she says with a small smile on her lips, “Would you like to have breakfast here or in the dining room? -he asks. -1 just want to go home,” I whisper, he looks at me sorrowfuly. Ym sorry, Ill get breakfast, the lady leaves, locking the door again. I am terrified by this situation, however, I can't go crazy and go into a state of anxiety, I have no cigarettes around to cont myself and the worst thing I can do is to think too much about it. Many in this situation would be screaming to be let out until they are hoarse, however, this is something I am not going t do, 1 walk to the window and I am on a first floor overlooking a swimming pool, it is beautiful. As far as I can see I'm in a mansion, you can tell that the mobsters have a lot of luxury with illicit money. The door of the room opens and the guy from last night enters, he stares at me and his gaze shows no legible emotion. -Miss Lennox, I've brought you these clothes so you can take a shower and change out of them. -Do you know who I am? -1 question, she doesn't answer, “Are you my buyer? -I ask. “No, my boss will be here soon,” she just replies, he puts the bags on the sofa. -If you require anything else, you can tell Yuky,"1 look at him with confusion, as he talks to me as if he knows this woman. ~The lady who greeted you earlier,” he mutters before leaving the room. I take the bags and I find a Carolina Herrera dress, Versace slippers and Victoria's Secret panties, apparently they don't or waste money at home, but also in branded clothes, I walk to the door that I guess is the bathroom and I find everything I need to take a shower. find everything I need to take a shower, I wash my hair and I feel a thousand years of stress leaving my body, I sigh as I dry all my skin and then I get dressed in those brand name clothes they have brought for me. When I get out of the bathroom breakfast is on the bed, I don't bother trying to figure out if it's poisoned or if it has some substance in it to put me to sleep. I'm too hungry to think about it and the snack is delicious, like everything else, and I'n stuffed to the brim. The room is huge and I don't hold back to check the other door and find a wardrobe with men's clothes, its like entering shop and I glimpse in the middle a shelf with some jewellery. Who in their right mind leaves the guy kidnapped in a room like this? I think. The owner of such clothes is a huge man, his clothes are huge and expensive, he likes to squander money and I also gue: he loves Armani perfumes, as they are the only ones I see here and they are not used, maybe he buys them for decoratio “Why would they leave me in that man’s room?” I think, I don't see any pictures and I check the drawers finding underwe: I feel like a stalker going through his belongings, however, I need to know my captor in order to escape. “What the F**k? -1 ask to nothing as I glimpse that drawer full of XL condoms, I quickly close it and decide to stop snoopir through other people's belongings. After long hours there, I'm so bored, I never imagined that coming to Italy would be so risky and that I would end up sequestered in a luxurious mansion which I'm not even allowed to walk around. -Miss,” Mrs. Yuky enters with a trolley filled with food, I think they want to fatten me up. -It's too much,” I whisper. -Eat what you need and the rest you can leave, don't worry,” she says. -1 don't like the idea of wasting food, do you know how many children go hungry on the streets? -I question. 1 understand, and I know that there are many children going hungry nowadays, however, the Don gives some donations t foundations so that hundreds of little ones can eat, have a roof over their heads and receive a good education,” he says. The Don? -1 ask. -The boss,” she says, I don’t ask any more. The woman leaves and I have lunch alone in the luxurious room, I have no choice but to try to eat as much as I can, I don care if the Don donates money to foundations, I don't want so much food to go to waste, I think I'll end up getting sick frc everything I put in my mouth. From shrimps, lobsters and red fish were in the trolley, I ate all of them and now my stomach hurts, I sigh and lie down in the fetal position waiting for the discomfort to pass.
