Her Disobedience

LUNA POV .

"Gio"I muttered, staring at Gio who was sitting next to Max ,as they stared awkwardly at each other.

"LUN"He called again,as he slowly stood up from the couch and walked towards me.

"How have you been ?"He asked , engrossing me in a tight warm hug .

"Not fine,Y'all left me in the lion Den , I'm still angry at you"I beckon, slapping on his chest playfully while ignoring Max present in the room.

"Dad send his regards"He whispered and Max scoffed at his words , staring at us he muttered.

"Same dad ,who had sold her off "

"When would you learn not to speak ,when you aren't Invited "I speak and then Scoff at him .

"Gio Martinez,Why are you here at my house to begin with?"He asked , standing to his feets as he walked towards us ,he created a distance between us as he used his hand to separate us from the engrossed hug.

"What The fuckin hell are you doing,Jerk?"Gio had asked irritated,and he stares angrily at Max who ended up with a scoffed.

"You are in my territory,and yet you dare question my authority?"Max Asked , stepping closer to Gio .

I could feel the immediate tension between the two men and I quickly rushed in ,to stop them from going closer .

"You need to stop Gio,he is not worth the stress"I whisper to Gio and his anger lessens.

"You need to leave, you shouldn't be here with him"I mutter again and he rolls his eyes.

"Really, you are choosing him over me ,I've been with you since childhood, you just met him for just 20 hrs "He retorted,not willing to step aways from him.

"I guess you don't know, She's my possession,your father proudly sold her off "He reminded and Gio went mute.

"Please leave Gio "I mutters, Pleading with him but he still remains stagnant.

"Tell Mr Martinez I'm fine and greet Mother on my behalf "I added , walking away from him while he stared at me .

"Do take care of yourself, Don't get over work up "He responded and then tapped on my back .

"I would love to speak with you in private"He whispered into my ears and I nodded to his response as Max stared awkwardly at us .

"Where are you going?"Max had asked immediately.I took one step to Gio.

"Meeting me In Private as it should be "Gio answers instead, Staring at Max .

"Common,Let get going"He added ,his focus was now on me as I flinched at my spot unwilling to move .

Scared that ,Max would want to pick a fight with Gio and perhaps,Gio won't let it slide.

I was in between the two men , confused on what to do and who to go with.

"Please Gio ,I dare not follow you for the sake of peace,I demand you leave immediately"I asked politely while staring at Gio .

"Fine,I would.You forgot this ,your phone,I only wanted to hand it over to you "He responded, stretching the phone towards me .

"She doesn't need it anymore, she's a cooper now ,no longer a Martinez clan , So As far as getting her a new phone the Coopers would take care of it "Max responded, before I could stretch my hand to take the phone away from him.

"Whether she's a Martinez or not ,she has the right to take her phone "Gio argued and I stood there watching him .

"Your father should have thought well about this before handing me over to him "I mutter in pain.

"Take your phone,He should do whatever he has in his mind with you, I'm off "Gio said angrily, dropping the phone in my hands .

He walked off after a long stare at Max,his gaze was directed back to me and he angrily walked off .

"Gio"I called bitterly,but there was no response from him as the door was closed very hard against us .

"You,I believe you know the rules,None of your family members are allowed to visit, You dare not do this again, is that understood?''He questioned as I flinched,fears filled me up while staring at him like my life depends on his judgment.

"Yes "I muttered in fright.

"These clothes?They aren't the ones I bought. What happened to these ones I bought?"he asked,as he examined what I was putting on from head to toe in one Accord.

"Ruth!!!!"He yelled Before I could answer.This part of him is more dangerous and I haven't seen this part of him since I arrived .

All I could do was flinch and shudder backwards in fear as Ruth makes her present known.

"Why is she on this,I made it clear ,I warned you why disobey my orders?"He questioned as Ruth immediately went on her knees in fright,Max stared coldly at her as she pandered with her words.

"Master ,I warned her ,the clothes"She stammered repeatedly.

"Cargo,"He called angrily as Cargo appeared with his head bowing to the floor.

"Take her to the whooping ward,make sure she's flogged until there's no energy left in her "He ordered and I became more pained .

"No please"I pleaded,with tears already forming in my eyes .

"I didn't punish her , you did for every of your disobedience to my orders ,The people who are meant to make you carry out the orders would pay for it "He declared as Ruth was forcefully dragged out ,while she wailed and cried out for mercy.

"And you,"He said to me with the tears streaming down My eyes ,he walked over to me then turn my faced to him as he pierced his deep sharp fingers on my skin 

Slowly,they pierced deeply into my skin ,I couldn't yell nor could I utter any word .I tried as much as possible to bear the excruciating pain w

hich was accompanied by his fingers that were piercing through my skin.

"The next time you dares disobey my orders"
