The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize by M C

30 – Messy Punishment

Aurora POV

“Ready for your punishment?” Jason acted like it was a normal, routine Tuesday date night.

I swallowed the invisible knot in my throat, just staring at the man who held my life in his hands.

He motioned me to come to him with two of his fingers and I reluctantly stood from the bed and walked through the small sea of muscle, my head hung low in embarrassment. I knew I had taken it too far, but the small rebellious part of me just wanted to cause them a little discomfort.

“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry. I went too far” 1 said when I stopped in front of Jason. My vision was becoming blurry with salty tears that were pushing to escape down my cheeks. Our shoes were almost touching, and I know this because I was staring at them. I had a wave of extreme fear wash over me so I couldn’t muster the courage to look at him.

A rough hand pulled my chin up and I blinked back the tears as my vision cleared and I was staring into the beautiful cold eyes of the master king himself.

He clicked his tongue and said “I know sweetie. But you still will be punished severely.” I nodded in response and looked down again. I felt his warm lips on the crown of my head before his hand found my arm and he ushered me out of the door. I didn’t even look back at Lillian.

The guards were close behind us and the hall was silent except for the pitter patter of our shoes against the tiled floors.

We went through the second kitchen and then through the first kitchen and then into the dining room and I was brought to the side of room. Waiting there were at least ten more armed guards, Charlie, Ben, and Kat. The two other men that were in the office and Draco were also there. The one I hit with the halloon was cleaned up and wearing a yello

polo shirt and black pants. Kai was still covered in food that stained his grey suit and white shirt in large brown. and black spots. Charlie and Ben had clearly showered and changed into black shirts and matching dress pants

I noticed there was a large area on the floor covered in a clear plastic sheet. In the middle of the plastic sheet was a metal armchair. And with seeing that, the invisible knot in my throat had returned and my heart sped up to match the pace of a cheetah. My breathing became heavy but I couldn’t stop moving.

Jason brought me to the chair and pushed my shoulder down.

That’s when I freaked out. He moved slightly and I jumped up and tried to run to the door. I had to get away. He caught me so effortlessly. I began to sob and thrash in his arms, clawing at the arm wrapped around my waist and trying to propel my body forward.

I know I connected my foot with his shins because I heard a painful grunt behind me. Charlie and Kai along with Draco and two other guards stepped forward and somehow they all managed to get me in the chair. I was too busy screaming “please don’t kill me” and “let me go” to notice that they put cuffs around my wrists and ankles and

attached a leather belt around my torso.
