Gifted to the Devil Don-Closed

[Perplexia]

Catalina Russo age 19 was adopted from the St. Marys orphanage at the age of five. She had been there for as long as she knew. She was left on their doorstep as an infant in a wicker basket, and all she had that wasn’t seized by her new family was a rattle and a wooden horse. With an odd engraving on the bottom of it.

Her new family, the Russo’s , pretended to want a playmate for their daughter Olivia. Instead what they were looking for was free labor. She was left in her orphan dress and given a list of chores to complete,every year that she got older, the more was added to her list. She was allowed to go to school, which she took great reprieve in.

Reading was her escape from the beatings, the humiliation and the constant life she had been put in. Her room was a small pantry with a mat and a pillow. When she finished primary school they added more chores to her list.

The Mafia Don Vargo was thought to be disfigured, and a monster. The rumor was that he had murdered his first wife. The reason why seemed to vary. He was rarely seen in public and feared by all who heard his name. He was Evil incarnated so the rumor said, some swore he had a pact with the devil. Others believed he was the devil.

Catalina knew very little about the Mafia or who ruled what. When the order came that the Russo’s had give him their daughter to marriage, they knew they couldn’t object. But the order hadn’t said which. So they decided their precious little Olivia couldn’t be subjected to such a monster. They decided it would be Catalina.

The day arrived and they didn’t even tell her until they were at the church. She had been cleaned , dressed up into a white fancy dress, her copper locks placed in a tight bun, and a thick veil placed on her head. It was then she was told she would marry Vargo. “But I don't know him” she pleaded. For that she got a smack across the face , another red mark to go with her many bruises covered by the long sleeve dress.

“You will do as you're told, if you don’t you will be beaten then thrown on the street.” She nodded as a tear ran down her face. They wiped it away and gave her modest makeup that highlighted her bright green eyes.The veil was placed down and her ‘father’ walked her down the aisle.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

The church was packed with Vargo's men, standing along the corridors. Rich and powerful business associates filled the seats. It was in total silence when the bride and his father steps up the aisle. The church organ began to play the familiar wedding songs.

Don Vargo dressed in black suit, standing next to the high priest. He wore a mask, hiding his eyes and face, impatiently checking the time over his Rolex watch. Not many people has seen his face except those who are closed to him and his bodyguards.

The wedding ceremony was grand but simple. He hates showing himself in public probably because he has lots of enemy.

Back in his mansion, Vargo took off the mask showing his new wife his real look. He is good looking, probably age 30. Sharp eyes, well built and never smile.

He introduce Catalina in low husky voice. "This is Mistress Catalina. Butler Henry, chief cook Walter and Madeline. She is in charge of all maids here."

After Vargo disappeared in the master bedroom, Madeline show her Mistress around. "Master Vargo says you can go anywhere within the mansion and cannot leave without his approval. Please follow me. He had ask me to prepare perfume bath for your wedding night."

The mansion is well decorated and had many rooms. More impressively, the bath is actually a small pool big enough for eight adults,

Two maids quietly help her Mistress undress.

 

[Perplexia]

Catalina took it all in backing away from the maids. "I do not wish for help to bath," she pushed her dress back in place, "and I will not be having any sort of wedding night. Please take me to my room, and leave me be." The maids looked at her like she was committing the ultimate sin. "The Don did not have an alternate room readied for you" one of the maids stated. "Well then go do that now, preferably the one furthest from him." They backed away and went readied a room for her.

She could say that she was shocked that Vargo was not disfigured, ugly or Old. His voice was rich and deep and husky. It was apparent he was used to having his way. On one hand she was profoundly grateful that he agreed to marry her, even if she wasn't the daughter he thought he was getting. Looking in the mirror she could see the red from the slap still on her face. Perhaps he didn't notice, or perhaps he plans on doing more due to her rejecting the idea of spending the night with him. Did she get pulled from one hell to be put in another.

They came and retrieved her taking her to a far room. It was a beautiful room with a balcony over looking the luscious garden. The smell of the flowers traveled in through the slightly opened doors. "Thank you" she said softly. "you may go". The maids nodded and left closing her door. She looked at the lush bed. Even from where she came she hadn't seen a bed that big. Her room hadn't even been a real room, and the closest she'd ever had to a bed was the cot at the orphanage.

Closing the curtains over the glass doors that led to the balcony, she looked in her bag for her simple dress that she wore most days of the week. She let her hair down and placed the bandana over her hair. There were chairs on the balcony with a table that she avoided and sat on the floor. She had never been allowed on the furniture at the Russos. From the time she was little she was told that the floor was her place. Rubbing the marks on her arms she sat quietly. Today was the first time in a long time she could just be.

Madeline had reported back to Vargo that she refused help undressing and the bath, but when they started they noticed scars and bruises all over her. She told him that she also requested her own room. "If i may offer my opinion Don" she said carefully. "Your new wife has not had a good life. She flinched when she was touched, she looks like a frightened child. Perhaps she needs time to get to know you. I'm guessing this wasn't her choice." Madeline knew from her years of service to the family that he was a good man below the hard exterior he wore like a shield. "also Sir, the bag she brought, the clothes ..well they were worse then prison outfits."

Taking her leave she went back to her duties, leaving Vargo with the information she relayed. Catalina leaned against the railing closing her eyes and letting the fragrence of the garden fill her senses.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

Vargo listen to Madeline thoughtfully and he says thank you.

Then he goes to the guest room where Catalina was and calmly make his way into the room. He did not knock for he wants her to realize that he is the master of the house and goes anywhere he wishes without needing any permissions. He found her sitting at the balcony floor.

"Catalina, You are my bride and you stay away from me on my wedding night. You make yourself a fool in the eyes of the maids. You should keep the house rule as the Mistress or I will reject and send you back to your parents."

He light a cigarette, take a long puff and continue "go have your bath and I want to see you in our room an hour later."

 

[Perplexia]

"I had no choice in whether or not to become your bride. It was either that or be beaten with his walking stick until i gave in. I don't know you, and I'm not particularly fond of the idea of being forced to perform marital duties with a stranger, i have no feelings for. If you think that i'm scared of being sent back will make me fall into line, it won't. They will simply kick me out to the street, because i won't be of any use to them. This time staring at the garden will last me a life time of peaceful memories. Even if it means i'll die on the streets of starvation."

She turned and looked at him slowly getting up. "I will save you the trouble of the ride back to them. I'll walk if that's what you prefer. As for the bath, i may not be worthy of an education. But at least i can bathe on my own. I don't like people touching me. It normally doesn't end well for me."

 

[MasterKenz2000]

Catalina fight back with words though she knew exactly there are no options. She is certain he will not let her go and that only makes things worst.

Vargo calmly repeat his words which sounds more like an instructions now. "I Don Vargo always gets whatever I want but I never force myself on a woman be it even my wife. Now go and clean yourself and be at our room in an hour time. Behave like a Mistress and I expect you to show respect as a good wife.

He turns around and leaves. Madeline came with the maids and she speaks "please my lady, do not cross the Lord.

 

[Perplexia]

"I still don't require assistance to bathe" she replied rather curtly to Madeline, Before moving past her and the maid, and taking her bag with her to the bath. She shut the door and placed a chair under the handle to ensure her privacy. Carefully she took off her clothes and lowered herself into the bath. She sat and soaked in it for a while before getting out and drying off. She placed the clothes back on she had previously put on, and went to the room that had been previously pointed out to her as his.

It was apparent he was use to getting his way. She was use to her opinions, thoughts and ideas not being heard. But that's not the life she wanted. She didn't get forced out of one prison to be placed in another. She went in to the room and looked around. She placed the bag on a chair and found a nice corner to sit in on the floor.

Her mind went over his calmness when he spoke to her. He didn't step into her space, and he didn't raise a hand to her when she talked back to him. That was surprising. But she knew the decoy of a calm demure and how it could lull one in a false sense of security.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

The bedroom door slowly opened and Catalina slips in quietly. Vargo was smoking cigar at the balcony when he saw her tugging yup at a corner. He knew she was scared and helpless and he had no intention to torture her but he had to teach her respect and being obedient. He also need to grow her confident because the wife of a mob can never be a pushover. She had to learn to be tough and decision making when he is not around.

Without a word, he walk up to her and takes her hand. In a soft firm tone he explains "You are now the Mistress of the mansion and your words are the command. You must be responsible with what you say and behave the way you should. I will say again, this is your room, our room and you know you should be sleeping here. Talk to me, tell me if you wanted something or anything."

He puffs his cigar and continue "I will not force myself on you as long as you behave as my good wife. I will also not hesitate to punish you if you are wrong. I had killed my first wife Danielle and few of my men over their mistakes."

He leads her to the bed. "Let's sleep." He whispered with the first smile and lay down next to her.

 

[Perplexia]

The way he moved to her from the balcony, and the way softened his tone when he spoke to her began to lower her walls. When he took her hand she expected to be yanked or pulled by it. Yet he was gentle. She wasn't sure how to process that. A dog that has been beaten its entire life will cower and expect it every time, a person was no different.

"You tell me that I must behave the way I should, and to talk to you and tell you if I want something. That I need to behave like a good wife or I'll be punished., I do not how to do anything of those things but be punished, and how to endure the pain of it." she said softly.

"This bed, I've never slept in one. I did not sit in the corner or on the floor because I wanted to disobey you. I did so because that has always been my place. I don't really want you to send me back, but I don't wish to be waited on it feels claustrophobic. I don't know how to be a person that accepts that, or how to be the wife you require." she sat on the bed he led her to.

"Why didn't you object when they unveiled me and showed you that I was not who they claim as a daughter?"

I am a submissive and would love to read more.

Please do not reply to closed threads you can follow it.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

OOC: Sorry, I was busy with some house renovation and painting job. My roof is leaking.

Back to our thread
Vargo lays beside Catalina and he listen patiently to her babbling and reasoning.
"You tell me that I must behave the way I should, and to talk to you and tell you if I want something. That I need to behave like a good wife or I'll be punished., ................ I don't really want you to send me back, but I don't wish to be waited on it feels claustrophobic. I don't know how to be a person that accepts that, or how to be the wife you require."

He did not gets angry but he is firm with his words. "You are now the Mistress of the mansion. What would my followers say if you sleeps a separate room and refuse to obey to my instructions? If you cannot behave like what a wife should be, I will give you away as a reward to one of my guys."

Catalina look nervous and try to explain "Why didn't you object when they unveiled me and showed you that I was not who they claim as a daughter?"

Vargo laugh aloud and reply "what so important if you are the real daughter or not? I just need a wise woman who knows she got a good bargain and willingly fulfill her duty as a wife. I want a good fuck to bear my children and rules my empire. Again you had my words that I am not forcing on you behind close door."

He leans forward and kiss Catalina on her forehead. "Let's just sleep. You had to meet more people tomorrow. Good night."

 

[Perplexia]

"I will obey and not question your rule of the one bedroom" she replied softly to his comment regarding the one bedroom.

"just a prize cow got it" Catalina replied to his comment about her not being the real daughter.

"If I'm to put on a good show for your people, I'll need clothes worthy of one. The only thing I have that is worth anything is that wedding dress."

Catalina flinched when he came toward her with a kiss on her forehead. "I'll do better" she mumbled to herself when he said good night.

She was awake as her brain processed her choices. Would he actually hand her over to one of his men?, her answer was a resounding yes, as she knew he couldn't care less who was in his bed, as long as they behaved and did what they were told. Any hope of this actually being more than that was slipping away. She did take notice that he had kept his word about not forcing himself on her. But she was also meant to act like the Lady of the house. That meant she was going to need to adopt the attitude of her 'mother'. At least when it came to running the house. She refused to let the cruelty to the staff be part of who she was.

Eventually sleep found her, and she was woken with the curtains being opened. "Good Morning Mistress" she was greeted by one of the servants. "Good morning she said yawning. Today was a new day, and the day she was going to show she could do this.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

Madeline herself was there attending the Mistress. "Good morning Mistress" she greeted cheerfully.

Don Vargo had left early that morning and she was assign to take care of her Mistress needs. When Catalina finally sat up on the bed, Madeline asked " The breakfast is ready in the dining hall. Do you want breakfast served in bed?"

Sure then walks to the antic cupboard and opens it. "These clothes, shoes and accessories are for you, ma'am. What do you want to wear? Master Vargo will be back for lunch. I suggest you would dressed up for him. He says he would take you shopping."

 

[Perplexia]

"I'll come down to eat ty Madeline" she said softly. "Please chose whatever you think he will like." she added about the clothes as she slowly got up. She chose a kaki long skirt with an ivory off the shoulder blouse, and ivory high heals. She stepped behind the privacy screen and put the outfit on. She wasn't sure how, but the outfit fit her perfectly. "Could you do my hair and make up please" Catalina asked come out from behind the screen

"Certainly Mistress" Madeline smile as she sat in front of the vanity. She gently brushed her long hair and placed it up in a fashionable hairdo.

She went down for breakfast and had some scrambled eggs and toast. After breakfast she went out onto the patio and sat enjoying the smell of the garden as she read a book she had found in the library.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

Vargo was home on time for lunch. He has two body guards standing at the entrance to the kitchen. He look for Catalina and took her hand, helping her up. "Let's do lunch, I am buying you some jewels." He smile with satisfaction.

At the dining table
He asked. "So I heard your family bullies you. Now you are the Mistress, tell me what you want to do to those peasant. Do you want to settle some score?
He stuff a piece of Salmon into his mouth follow by a mouth full of wine.

 

[Perplexia]

She took his hand and and followed him to the diner table for lunch. "I appreciate you having clothes ready for me this morning, Madeline was a great help." she relayed as they sat down for lunch.

Eating her salmon she savored it with the occasional "mmm". Catalina heard what he asked and pondered it.

"They adopted me at the age of five." she said softly "Though want they wanted was a servant. I slept in the pantry on a mar. I was treated worse than hired help. I was allowed to go to school, only because there was a record of me existing as their child. But I was required to do everything that a staff of five would do daily. If i spoke up, or questioned, or sometimes a look offended them, the punishment was anything from a severe beating, humiliation, or torture. I know that it sounds obsurd from such a 'respected' family. But all of them were guilty of the treatments. Mostly the Mistress of the house, and then her daughter."

"From what i understand I was given to you to obtain favors, though i do not know the whole of it I'm sure." she thought for a few more moments. "In the event that we have to attend a gala or public event, they will take the opportunity to humiliate me. Your protection, and assistance with their gradual demise would be appreciated. I would like them to feel helpless. To bee seen as nothing but parasites', and for their cruelty and injustice to be observed. I would like for them to be blacklisted."

"I will do my best to learn what mannerisms are required of me. What your favorite foods are, and the style of clothes you prefer I wear. I can be what you need."

 

[MasterKenz2000]

Vargo was enjoying his meal when Catalina tells him about his foster family. "From what i understand I was given to you to obtain favors, though i do not know the whole of it I'm sure."

"What?" He interrupt her. "They are not getting any favor from me because they owes me lots of money and offer their daughter to me to knock off the balance. They expect me to take you as maid, or even slave. They regret showing me your photo instead of your younger sister when I say I would marry you."

He paused, looks at Catalina when she makes a vow "I will do my best to learn what mannerisms are required of me. What your favorite foods are, and the style of clothes you prefer I wear. I can be what you need."

Vargo was very generous with his spending. He takes his wife shopping, buying clothes, make ups, and jewelries. They spent hours window shopping and he can see that her behavior was cheerful and more receptive now. She giggles when he make jokes.

 

[Perplexia]

For the first day in her life, Catalina could say she had a good day. Shopping with Vargo was fun. It wasn't because he was spending money. She could have cared less about that. It was because he was taking the time to get to know her, and he even made her laugh with his jokes.

She had a rare glimpse of the man, not the Don or the evil monster they whispered he was. He was quite a bit more then that. Her opinion was growing in his favor. She anticipated if he continued to spend time with her, and she continued to try to do what was expected of her. She may actually have a good life to look forward to. But if she had learned anything in her short life.
It was that things that were too good to be true, could change in a moment. She had often been the butt of many jokes. They would be nice to her for a day or more, and just when she thought maybe, they would beat her or do something to humiliate her.

The Don hadn't shown any empathy toward what her life had been like, or even displayed any acknowledgement. He had only noticed the part about how her 'family' of leeches were hoping to gain favor with him.

It could be just part of a relationship, if she was going to really do this, it had to be all or nothing.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

They shop the whole evening and soon it's getting dark. Vargo takes Catalina to the biggest night club and he says they are going there for dinner.

Soon they are taken to a private room and the dinner was actually good.

Vargo looks at his suspicious wife and say "this is my property and my business. That's why we are here."

Looking out the window from the room on top floor, we can see almost everyone and every corner of the club. The erotic dancers are performing on stage, some on the dancing floor, drinking at the bar counter and relaxing on the couch.

Vargo smile "want to dance with me?"

 

[Perplexia]

"I see" she responded to him saying it was his property and business. "I thought when you said i had to meet people it would be at the house. My mistake"

"Dinner was excellent, thank you" she said as they stared out over the club. She really didn't find anything to shocking here. Though she didn't really have much life experience as it were. Having been kept in the dark most of her life. She still listened as people talked. Her adoptive father was known to visit such places, and occasionally have a mistress that was younger then his daughters.

"I will dance with you, but I have never danced before, I will follow your lead" she said softly. She waited for him to rise then she followed taking his arm.

 

[MasterKenz2000]

He leads her to the dance floor and guide her hand, placing it on his shoulder. He gently wraps around here waist, swaying to the rhythm. Their body occasionally rubs against each other and he looks into her eyes.

The place was dim and he can feel her shaking nervously. He leans closer and whisper "are you cold?"

He also tighten his grip and his fingers stroking up and down behind her back.

 

[Perplexia]

Catalina followed his silent instructions of placing her hand on his shoulder. She could feel the firmness of it. His arm wraps around her waist as he held her with such a firm gentleness she thought she would melt. He was so patient with her as his body swayed slowly and hers followed his lead.

When their bodies rubbed together she found herself gasping and holding her breath. When he asked if she was cold it was because she was was trembling. "I'm not cold" she said softly. "I'm afraid to allow myself to accept the way you make me feel good. I'm afraid to believe this is my life now. Anytime that I was given the slightest hope that things would change, it was followed by hate and evil things." she sighed.

"Part of me knows that you won't hurt me, humiliate me, or beat me, but after years of that being my reality it will take me time and more days like today. Today you gave me the best day of my life. You fed me, you clothed me with pretty things, you taught me how to dance, and you made me feel safe." she laid her head on his shoulder "thank you"

 

[MasterKenz2000]

The music is soft and erotic. The are about 10 couples on the dancing floor.

"I'm not cold" Catalina said softly. "I'm afraid to allow myself to accept the way you make me feel good. I'm afraid to believe this is my life now. Anytime that I was given the slightest hope that things would change, it was followed by hate and evil things.".

He flips her around as soon as she finished her last words. Wrapping his arms around her waist, stomach, hugging their body close. Pulling her backwards against his chest. He snuggles his face next to hers. Rubbing their cheek. He whispers."you still have doubt being my woman?"

Catalina answered. "Part of me knows that you won't hurt me, humiliate me, or beat me, but after years of that being my reality it will take me time and more days like today. Today you gave me the best day of my life. You fed me, you clothed me with pretty things, you taught me how to dance, and you made me feel safe."

He whisper again "Take your time to know me behind close door as long as you play it right, in public and before others eyes. Yes, I may not harm you but I love humiliating you and even beating you especially if you disobey and need punishment."

His right hand trace her body, moving lower, from her stomach to her thigh, admiring her curves. "Are you really a virgin like what your step father says?"

 

[Perplexia]

Catilina began to violently tremble as he said he would love to humiliate and beat her. She ignored the question about being a virgin. Any gain he had earned this day, was just completely undone by his statement. Any confidence and hope she had started to gain was gone as well. "go ahead and kill me, because i won't live as your punching make fun of bag."
