I wasn’t sure why, but something about his demeanor set me on edge, putting my senses on high alert.
“I need to ask you some questions and then we can get on to the examination.”
Examination?No one had said anything about any examination. I felt a chill spread through me.
The doctor took my medical history and asked me all sorts of questions about my periods and whether I was still a virgin.
After that, he handed me a paper sheet. “Take off all your garments, including your bra and panties.”
“I don’t understand…why?”
“Didn’t your mother explain? You will need a vaginal examination before I can prescribe you birth control, and I’ll also need to examine your breasts. The contraceptive pill can lead to a higher risk of breast cancer, so you will need to have regular check-ups. Once you have undressed, wrap the paper sheet around yourself and lie down on the examination table.”
Once the doctor had left the room to give me privacy, I quickly undressed and wrapped the crackly sheet around my body.
I had never had an internal examination. The Mafia didn’t allow a girl to have a pap smear before her marriage, so as to prevent any accidental damage to her hymen before her wedding night—they wanted to take no chances, given how important the blood on the wedding night was in proving the bride’s pureness.
I looked down at the sheet. I assumed it was to provide some modesty, although it only came to mid-thigh and I wished it covered more of me.
A few minutes later, I heard the door slowly open and close, and then heavy footsteps came into the room.
The doctor was back.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I sensed that something didn’t feel quite right.
I looked up and felt the blood drain from my face as I saw Emanuel Santino standing in the room.
I quickly sat up and clutched the sheet more tightly to myself, being acutely aware that I was completely naked under it.
“I see you made it to your appointment,” he rumbled.
I was too stunned to say anything.
“I came to check how everything is going.”
My throat was dry and my heart felt like it had dropped to my stomach.
He took a step closer. “You must know, Jessica, that it is imperative my son marries a pure virgin.”
His voice made my blood turn cold. “Y-Yes, sir, of course.” My words came out in a hoarse whisper.
“Your family’s reputation is somewhat sullied by the recent actions of your older sister, Juliana.”
I flushed uncontrollably. “Sir, I can assure you I am untouched.”
He paused, just staring at me. “It would be careless of me to just take your word for it, wouldn’t it now?”
“I swear, I’m not lying.” My voice was jittery and unnaturally high. “I would never lie to you, Capo.” My chest felt constricted, like I could get enough air.
“I’m glad to hear it. I’ll just need to find out for myself,” he said.
I swallowed back the bile rising in my throat—I didn’t know what was happening but I knew I had to get away from him.
I hurriedly swung my legs down from the examination table and as my feet touched the cold tile of the floor and I stood, he was instantly in front of me.
I dodged around him.
My heart pounded erratically. If I could get to the door I could call for the doctor or a nurse or just anyone to help me.
