My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345: 345/I will make you pay the price

Chapter 345

Julie’s point of view

The blood froze in my veins with absolute terror and panic, and I rushed with entirely naked, trembling feet toward the door, gripping with a spasm and panic upon the metal handle to prevent him from pushing and entering. I shouted with panting breaths, attempting to fake my tone and exhibit calmness:

"Steve... I am entirely naked right now and altering my clothes! Do not enter in any form or shape!!"

Steve stopped at the threshold, and his voice emerged tight with questioning and doubt:

"What indeed occurred, girl?! I heard a resounding, powerful sound like an impact and shattering coming from your room, and also a strange, muffled cry reached me seconds ago! What is this?"

I swallowed my saliva with a burning dryness restricting my throat, looking with terror at the body of Jake cast on the ground with his motionless, naked corpse. I said with an agitation I attempted with all the effort I was granted to conceal:

"I... I am well, Steve, do not worry... I merely tripped and fell from the wooden chair by mistake while arranging the room."

He asked with persistence from behind the wood without moving:

"Were you harmed in any form?! The sound of the impact was terrifying... let me enter to reassure myself of you personally."

I shook my head in definitive negation despite his inability to see me from behind the wood, and said with a hasty sharpness to distance him:

"No, Steve... I told you that I am well... nothing bad has certainly occurred to me, I am completely well and healthy."

Steve muttered with an anxiety that did not vanish easily from his tone, tracking in a firm, perplexed tone:

"Fine... don something with speed, Julie, and open... I want to enter right now to oversee you and reassure myself of your safety and your body from fracture."

I gripped the metal handle with tightness until my knuckles whitened from the tension, and shouted in a tone filled with anger to make him retreat:

"No! I told you that I am well and healthy already, Steve, do not exaggerate the matter, for God’s sake, and magnify trivial subjects without a cause... Go!"

A brief, heavy silence prevailed in which my brother sighed with a lack of resourcefulness and surrender, then said in a hesitant voice carrying another questioning:

"Fine, fine, as you wish, Julie... I will not press upon you, but do you know where Jake resides right now? I searched for him and did not find him."

I looked with widened eyes filled with gratification, spite, and terror together at the unconscious Jake, residing beneath my feet like a humiliated, naked corpse on the cold floor of the room, and I said:

"No... I have not witnessed him anywhere since the cancellation of the cursed gathering yesterday... I am not interested in his matter."

Steve responded with obvious perplexity while moving in the corridor with hesitant paces:

Steve stopped for final seconds at the door, saying with a final persistence and stubbornness that aroused my terror once more:

"Have you donned your clothes already now, Julie? Can I enter for a fleeting, swift second to reassure myself of you before my departure? I want to see you."

My entire jaw convulsed from his stubbornness and intervention, and I shouted with a hasty oppression and an angry voice to expel him:

"I told you for the thousandth time that I am still entirely naked without clothes! And I told you that I am well, go instantly and do not be late for your work!"

Steve said with a lack of resourcefulness and disappointment from my method:

"Fine, fine... I am departing then, Julie, take care of yourself."

With the passage of counted, heavy moments, the familiar sound of the outer door of the house being closed and locked with power and tightness reached my ears, and I knew that Steve had indeed departed far away and vacated the place, leaving me by myself with my monster.

I breathed a sigh of relief with power and the trapped hot air in my chest emerged. I felt my breaths return to my throbbing chest in succession after I had escaped by a miracle from this hellish dilemma... I turned around with my entire naked body very slowly and with silent paces like a fierce, injured serpent.

I fixed my hateful looks toward the body of Jake, lying without awareness or movement on the cold floor, and ground my teeth with violence:

"I will hold you accountable for everything you performed to my body and to me tonight without awareness and exploiting my drunkenness... I will make you regret the day you were born, you base, despicable scoundrel and filthy animal!"
