Mafioso daddy and the Sweet babysitter

Marília is a young woman of twenty-three years, works in a restaurant called Sweet Menu. She lost her parents a few years ago and in criminal circumstances, and that makes her carry in her heart an immense pain and bitterness. It was a rainy day, and she walked hurriedly from the bus stop to her workplace, which was fifteen minutes from there. A car passed quickly and ended up throwing all the water from a puddle on top of it.

"But what a son of a bitch!" She recorded that plaque mentally, knew that the possibility of finding that person again was almost nil.

She was late because of that setback and with the wet clothes.

"Again late Marília?" The boss grumbled, the old man never liked her work and always played a certain charm, but as he realized that she would never give up her amorous advances preferred to pursue her. Making her job impossible whenever she has the opportunity.

"I'm sorry, Mr Adalberto, as you can see I was taken by surprise by a car and a puddle of mud!"

"Maybe if I walked with a little more attention, I wouldn't go through situations as ridiculous as this. Go at once to your work and do something useful."

"Yes sir!"

Marília

I went straight to the bathroom and dressed my waitress uniform, my friends always encourage me to find another place to work and that here I will never be valued as a human being or as a professional. I'm alone in this world, I can't be without work! I dressed quickly, took my notes and went to the dining room to meet some customers who were already arriving in droves.

[...]

Vinicius arrived at the restaurant with his seven-year-old daughter Yasmin, he had already booked one of the tables. The girl was a stubborn and very spoiled girl, who always had everything she wanted from her father. Vinicius gave her everything that money could buy to fill his absence in many important moments of his life.

Marília saw them waiting for service, found that man very beautiful and elegant and prepared to provide them with good service as he always did for all customers.

"Good evening, here are our prices." Marília gave them the menu, Vinicius greeted her politely and Yasmin too.

"Daddy, I'll have pasta, Trofie al Pesto and let me see..."

"Don't you think it's too much for such a delicate little girl?" Marília just wanted to avoid a waste, of course, a seven-year-old girl would not eat so many things.

"I want that, and my father can pay!" Yasmin replied by confronting her and making the young woman embarrassed.

"Bring at once what my daughter asked, you are not here to oversee the requests and just bring them to the table." He paid in advance, Marilia left that table feeling the worst of people, should not have said anything to that little girl.

Marília

What an arrogant man, no wonder the girl is the reflection of her father's arrogance. If I wasn't having so many problems in this job, I wouldn't even go to that table anymore and pass the service to any other waiter. I continued to attend the other tables, trying not to think about what happened, what a terrible day, first that mud bath and now all this arrogance. While I was waiting tables, I realized that the man was looking at me, despite being a complete ignorant I have to admit that he is very beautiful and elegant.

"Marília, the order for table two is ready!"

I had to face those beasts one more time, took the tray and went there.

"Excuse me, here it is!" I organized everything on that table as fast as I could, and I just wanted to go back there to get the bill." Anything else you need? "Say no, for God's sake!"

"Yes! I want you to sit here."

That little girl could only be playing, I looked right into her father's eyes.

"Daughter, the girl is here working!"

"But I want her to sit with us daddy, ask her now!"

This girl just wanted to prove that her father's money could buy everything in this world, company, friendships... What kind of values does this man give her?

[...]

Vinicius knew that refusing Yasmin's request would be much more work than trying to do her will.

"Sit with us, girl!"

"I can't, sir, I'm working now."

"Tell me how much you make per night, and I'll pay."

"It's not about how much I earn per night, I can't sit with customers."

"My father can pay for you to stay here with us." The little girl insisted, until Vinicius called the manager.

"What is happening? I can already imagine, Marília is causing problems once again!"

"Not so, Mr Adalberto..." Before Marília tried to explain, Vinicius stepped forward.

"I just want to know, how much do you pay this girl a night to work here?"

"Just over eighty reais, why?" Adalberto questioned.

"I'll pay 8,000 reais for you to release her tonight, I just want her to have dinner with me and my daughter."

Marilia looked scared at the boss, never thought that man could spend so much just to satisfy a whim of a naughty daughter. He found it completely absurd and felt sold at auction to whoever gave the best offer.

"All right, sit with them, Marilia!"

Marília

For fear of losing my job, I had to sit with that stupid man and the domineering brat, I was feeling completely humiliated and never imagined myself in a situation like this. I couldn't hide my expression of hatred by looking at that man, he didn't seem to pay any attention to what was happening, and I didn't even touch the food. Everything was very fine and expensive, I never had the opportunity to taste anything that was on that menu.

[...]

They ate in silence, only Yasmin seemed interested in knowing a little more about Marília, even though the young woman did not want to talk about her life with those people.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-three!"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Daughter, is that a question to ask?" Vinicius scolded her, but she did not take the scolding very seriously.

Marilia remained in silence.

"Won't you answer the question my daughter asked you?"

"We're just having dinner, sir, so I don't have to talk about my personal life."

"You are very rude, we gave you the opportunity to eat with us instead of spending shoes serving from table to table and this is how you thank?"

"I would rather do my job than be used as a bargaining chip to satisfy a spoiled child's whim!"

"Daddy, she called me spoiled!"

"Let's go Yasmin." He took the wallet out of his pocket and left much more than the amount of the account, as payment by the company of Marília.

Marília, as far as she was concerned, kept collecting things from the table while he left and talked to the manager looking at her. He waited for him to cross the front door, followed him from afar, watching him and the girl get into the luxury car, seeing the plate the anger inside her increased.

"It's the convict who gave me an earlier bath, it could only be him!"

Vinicius and Yasmin arrived at the house, he put her to bed and kissed her good night.

"I do not know why Marilia was so angry with us!"

"Did you memorize her name?"

"She is beautiful, I asked to sit with us because I thought you would like her!"

"You seriously did that so that she and I..."

"Yes, you need a girlfriend, and she's very beauty."

Vinicius smiled and covered her by turning off the light in the room that was illuminated only by a lamp. He went to his own room and thought about what his daughter had said, really Marilia was a very beautiful girl, he was never to get involved with any woman for more than one night. His life did not allow establishing links, and with her would not be different.

"What is brave is beautiful, maybe Yasmin is not right?"

At home, Marília also thought of him, that day had been a great mix of events and grateful meetings and others neither, feared what Adalberto could do with her the next day.

Marília

I looked at my messages on WhatsApp, just a few messages from my friend and confidant Rafaela. Every lack that makes me have a mother, sister, or friend she compensates with her advice and the concern she always has with me.

"Hey, girl, how's it going?"

"I have a lot of things to tell you, but only tomorrow when you come here!"

"That's not fair, Marilia."

"I had a full day, and I'm going to bed now, I'll wait for you tomorrow... kisses and have a good night."

"Good night to you!"

Rafaela went to the house of Marilia the next day, was consuming desire to know the news. They don't live relatively close, but whenever she could, she was there to have a good chat.

"So, tell me what happened? Yesterday your voice sounded different and I found it a little tense."

"There were so many things, my boss as always making my life hell in that restaurant. I think I never had a boss worse than him!"

"If I were you I would have resigned this place, Marilia, that man does not accept that you do not want him!"

"I can't be unemployed. Rafa I live for rent. What's more, when I was on my way to work, an imbecile gave me a bath with his car bumping into a puddle of mud. I arrived like a wet parakeet, took a scolding of the bag without handle, and soon some customers arrived."

"AND?"

"There was a guy and a girl of about eight years at a table, I was being kind and ended up being forced to sit with them to please the girl! The man was such a manipulable pastry."

"Was he even a handsome?"

Marília smiled.

"Yes, it was a lot and to make matters worse I saw the license plate of his car, it was just the fool who dirty me earlier."

"That sounds like a movie script!"

"But he's not, he's a long way from being a prince. He's got no personality, and he's very silly."

"I know!" They both smiled. "We're going out for a nightcap after work."

"I'm not sure, that's a good idea, Rafaela."

"It's a good idea Marilia, let's stop being silly."

"Okay, come by at 10:00."

Marília worked normally, Adalberto said nothing about what had happened the day before, and she thanked God for it. She left in time to get home, take a shower and get ready to go out with Rafaela, at the agreed time she passed to take her. They arrived at a bar in the city center, all Marília wanted was to relax a little and forget what had happened in recent days.

She was never into partying and partying, but occasionally needed to unload the routine.

"Don't be thoughtful like that friend, you have to smile, Marilia."

"It's hard to smile when you don't have many reasons to smile."

She looked around, some couples at further tables and some boys who looked at them insistently, until they dared to talk to them.

"Hello, can we sit with you?" One of them asked, while the other two were waiting at their table, for the girls' answer.

"Of course!" Only Rafael replied, Marília would not agree to share the table with strangers, but since the friend wanted, she had to comply.

They sat with them, began to ask about their lives. Rafaela told everything about herself, but Marília did not. She was always more careful and cautious.

"You seem a little discouraged." One of the men asked Marília noticing her restlessness.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good date tonight."

"What is your name?"

"Marília.

"Beautiful name." He realized that she was having a beer, he intended to enjoy the night with her.

Rafaela was interested in one of them, ended up dancing and went home with him.

Marília

I can't believe Rafaela left me here with these guys, I'm gonna get an Uber and go home right now. I was going to get up and pay the part of my bill, but one of them held me back from getting up. I was scared, but I tried to stay calm...

"Where do you think you're going, princess?"

"I want to leave now." I looked furiously into his eyes, without showing the fear I felt at that moment.

"You will stay and drink with us." The other said taking a glass of beer to me, I pushed with everything pouring on his clothes.

I felt something cold touching the side of my belly, it was a stiletto that was in the power of the other.

"Drink that beer and how many more we order!"

I got desperate, the bar wasn't full and no one would come close enough to realize my fear. They made me drink a lot, I was getting dizzy, and my reflexes were compromised, the fear began to subside and this is a bad sign.

"Beware kitten, so will end up falling from the chair. We will accompany you to a very cool place!"

[...]

Vinicius was returning home in his car, thinking about the problems, when he saw two men accompanying a young woman suspiciously and trying to put her in a car. As soon as he realized that she did not look well and recognized the two men, he decided to intervene.

"It's the coyote and the wolf, two of our bloodiest cartel members!"

He stopped the car quickly.

"Let that woman go!"

They looked at Vinicius and as soon as they recognized him the thing became even worse.

"You are no longer our capo, do not meddle Lion, or better... now is Hades!"

The young woman tried to get out of the arms of one of them, soon Vinicius recognized her and could not leave her in the hands of those two.

Left on one of them who showed a knife, Vinicius disarmed him with a kick in the hand, making the knife fall, gave several punches in his face... Marília was released by the other who entered the fight, catching Vinicius as well as the first.

Wounded, they ran into the car and rushed out of there.

Marilia could not stand and ended up almost falling, Vinicius took her in his arms and took her into his car, looking sideways to make sure that no one would have seen them.

Marília grabbed Vinicius' arm and was out of her mind, but was very afraid of what might have happened to her.

"No need to be afraid, Marilia, you're safe now!"

"Will you take me home?" She asked, scared.

"I'll take you with me and tomorrow when you're sober I'll take you home."

"I want to go home!" She insisted, but he went on his way to his house.

Marília tripped over her legs, and he took her to one of the upstairs rooms of his mansion, Yasmin was already asleep and did not see him arrive with that girl. This had been providential, certainly the girl would ask thousands of things and the father could not answer more than half of them.

Until Marilia had a lapse in sobriety.

"Let me go, I want to go home. You're a fool and gave me a mud bath!"

"You are delusional, girl!."

He put her to bed and covered her with a sheet.

"Stay here then, I'm scared."

"Okay, just sleep then."

Vinicius sat in a chair and covered her sleep all night, admiring the beauty of that helpless girl and that would almost fall into the hands of cruel, wicked men as he was in the past... or not that past.

Dawn

Marília moved on the bed, Vinicius came closer and ended up taking a huge punch in the face and walked away. She looked at him scared...

"What a right cross you have!" He said, passing his hand at the place of the hit.

"Excuse me, I dreamed they were kidnapping me, you kidnapped me?"

"Apparently the drunkenness left sequels, do not remember anything?"

"Wait, I went out with my friend and some idiots asked to sit with us. She left and left me, the one in blue showed me a knife and forced me to drink..."

"They were gonna take you by force, remember more?" He wanted to make sure she didn't remember the conversation between them and her real identity in the world of crime.

"It's just flashes of things that come to my mind, I saw you hit them and I ended up here in your house, is it your house?"

She looked curiously at the luxury room.

"Yes, are you hungry?" He asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, can I take a shower? I smell alcohol."

"You can, of course, I'll have them make us something to eat, I'll wait for you downstairs."

He was going to leave the room, but she had some questions and wanted to thank him.

"Hey..."

He came back and looked at her again.

"My name is Vinicius!"

"Vinicius, thank you very much for what you have done for me."

"You don't have to thank me."

She smiled discreetly, he went downstairs to warn there was another visitor in the house. I wanted to surprise her with a special breakfast and knew that Yasmin would like to know that that girl was there. Marilia found that house beautiful and did not remember how everything was on the floor below. Thought about what could have happened to her if it was not for the help of this man she hated so much to meet in the restaurant.

Marília

He's not as dumb as I thought he was, and I feel unfair right now, who knows if he's a nice guy? My head still hurts from the effect of the drink I was forced to taste, I never want to go through something like that again!

Marília

Suddenly everything became clear to me, a headache made my vision blurred, God, I'm in the house of the handsome and this is real. He's a criminal, I remember what they said and how they called him Hades, will he kill me for what I heard?

Stop being crazy, I can't get into this robbery and I have to get out of this house before he kills me and gets rid of my body. This movie I've seen, and I don't want my body found in the trash can... I got up from bed, went to the bathroom of the room and what a beautiful and well decorated place.

I took a long shower, even in a hurry to leave I had to take the pure smell of ethanol, I do not know how much I will have such a shower at my disposal. I washed my hair to be more awake, dressed and went down the stairs to get out of the house.

"Stop!"

I froze before I went down the first step and raised my hands like a bandit, was his pest daughter.

"Hi!" I turned silly face certainly and she smiled.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with that curious face.

I thought about what excuse I could give, none of them would convince, this girl is nothing silly. I hope her father's not home, I want to get out of here before I find him again... I'm supposed to be looking for a way out, but I'm sitting here having a little head chat with a little girl.

"I... I... your father invited me to have breakfast with you. Let's go?"

She just held my hand, and we went downstairs, it was an awkward situation and I hope she doesn't ask any more questions. I didn't want to join them, I just wanted to get out of here.

We arrived at a beautiful dining room, a huge table that could land a plane, I was nervous to see that he was waiting for us, opened a beautiful smile to see us together. Pulled the chair politely, and I even surprised by all that warmth. It didn't even look like the same ferocious animal that took out those guys last night, so I hope the menu isn't human flesh.

That table had so many tasty things that would feed two families, I was very afraid to mess with the cutlery and be the target of jokes for both. Yasmin seemed to love my presence, she looked at her father as if she wanted to ask something... this suspense did not last long and soon she dared.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me you were dating?"

"What?" He asked and we both looked surprised.

"You are misunderstanding things, Yasmin." I would never forget the name of that little toy.

"If you slept here and woke up with wet hair, it's because you and my father are boyfriends. My friend at school said her sister always comes back from dating a boy like that..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense, Yasmin, and let's eat in peace!" For the first time I saw him scold her, I think much more for being ashamed of me than for what she had said.

We ate, without much conversation, and I had to go home. I wanted more than anything to leave this place, although beautiful, this is not my home and I have a lot to do far from here. I still don't trust any of them, and I've seen a lot of horror movies before.

I was afraid of the invitation, but I hoped she will lead me to the door.

"Can you come with me for a moment?" Yasmin wanted to move me to stay a little longer and not knowing that all I wanted was to leave here, we went to her room, all pink and tasteful.

I remembered the simple childhood I had by my grandmother's side, she never let me miss anything, but a room like the one that this kitten has would make anyone dream! This made me really think of myself as a child, full of questions about the past, some of them still have no answer to this day. Yasmin is very lucky to have a millionaire father and such beautiful things to enjoy.

"Your room is very beautiful, you chose the decoration?" I asked, looking at some shelves with huge and beautiful teddy bears.

"He has many beautiful things, but I miss having a mother or stepmother, as my friends have to talk and talk about girls' things."

"You have your father, and he seems to be very nice, and you can see that he takes good care of you."

"Is he, yes, can you braid my hair? Dad doesn't know how to do that!"

"Of course, of course I do!"

I made a braid, and she was very happy and beautiful looking in the mirror. Yasmin is super vain, I think I was the same way in the past.

"I liked you, I think you'd be a good wife to my father."

"Again talking nonsense." I kissed her face and went down the stairs to leave, and this time I had to go.

Vinicius was in the room and as soon as he saw me, he smiled at us.

"Daddy, I made up my mind!"

"Decided?" He asked, interested and getting up from the couch.

"I want her to be my mother."

"Mother?" I was perplexed, God forbid I get the whole package out of the blue.

"Yasmin, then we'll talk about your mania of wanting things your way. Now I'll ask the driver to take Marília home!"

"Only if she promises to come see me sometime!"

"Daughter!" Vinicius rebuked her.

I had no choice, I wanted to go home so badly that I once again gave in to the whim of the girl. I think I would promise that she just wanted to go home to rest a little, I confess that I was a little sorry to lie to her.

"Yes, I promise I'll see you again."

I left and Vinicius accompanied me, before I was, he touched my arm and looked into my eyes. I felt a little intimidated and when I looked at him, I was sure that was the real intention

"Tell me, what do you remember from last night?"

I got tense, and I started fumbling my speech.

"No, damn! I heard what those men said about you."

He came closer still and with the menacing look...

"Now who will demand a promise is me, swear that you will not say anything of what you heard to anyone! Come, swear!"

I tried to get away from him, but he hasn't let me go yet.

"I swear and now enough, I need to go home!"

"I want your personal contact." I passed my WhatsApp number, he wrote it down, and I got in the car.

I finally got home after that terrible night and morning, I was still tired of everything that had happened. I wanted to forget that man, that house and even that little girl...

The harm is, I saw a message notification, and it was his...

"Don't forget the promise Marília made to me."

I did not answer and did not care, I do not want to see these people ever again and not think about what happened or could have happened. No more trouble and I need peace... that's all that matters to me.

[...]

Vinicius was thinking and afraid that she would tell someone about her real identity, thought about the consequences that could bring this revelation to the life of his daughter.

It also mixed the immense desire to see that girl again, she looked so frail and frightened in her arms. He went to the room where she slept, smelled the sheet looking for her sweet perfume, and remembered Yasmin's unusual request.

"Marília could not be her new mother, but she is a very beautiful girl!"

As he could deny himself that he was already involved and with much desire to find out more about her, there was that promise made to his daughter, she will have to fulfill and see them again. At the same time, when she felt in her hands due to her secret...

"I'll be in trouble if she decides to tell someone, I need to keep her under surveillance, and that means close by."

Rafaela spent the night with that unknown man and slept almost all day after sending him away from there. Woke up with a strong hangover of sleep and alcohol, thought about what he had done with Marília to leave her with two strangers at that table. An immense guilt took her heart and she fell into reality...

"She must have been furious with me, and quite rightly."

He prepared something to eat even with the bitterness of the drink still on his palate, looked at his messages and there was nothing of it. Not even a message cursing or condemning her for what she had done, and that was what worried her most.

Knew how Marilia was always puritanical and straight, would never drink with strangers by her own will...
