Bittersweet Beginnings -- Chapter 3





As they stepped out of cab, Tunetha got a little nervous about the fact that they had ditched thier guards. And by the time they walked into the bar, she was down right scared. he had a feeling this was the place Carly wasn't supposed to go, but she didn't want to piss her off by letting her know Sonny had confided in her.

Carly had her discusssion with Mike, and walked out mad. Tunetha heard something about gambling, and leaving people alone. She was too nervous to eavesdrop. Carly became even more mad when the cab wasn't out side waiting, she was on her cell phone yelling at someone.

Before Tunetha could suggest they wait inside and call thier guards. She was grabbed from behind, she saw them grab Carly's phone from her and taunt her.

Tunetha was frightened for thier lives when they rammed Carly against the wall.

"LET HER GO" she screamed as she began to cry.

"Shut up" the short man told her as he slapped her twice.

Another man was holding on to Carly's chin, and threatening to hurt her. "Well Mrs. Corinthos what do you say we have a little fun"

The short man that hit Tuneta kept looking back from her to Carly and finally asked "Are you sure that Mrs. Corinthos, I think its this one she seems high & mighty like Corinthos" he was referring to Tunetha.

The guy who had begun to unbutton Carly's shirt turned to look at Tunetha. She took this chance to try and save Carly. She knew if anything happened to her, Sonny would be devastated.

"You better leave me and my friend alone. My husband will hunt you down and carve your heart out if you leave one mark on me"

"So you are the real Mrs. Corinthos, why should I believe you?"

"Have you ever known my husband to go out with a blond??"

"She's got a point" The man holding Tunetha's arms said.

"Of course I do, you idiot" she spat out

"So you want us to leave your friend alone? the blond said talking to Tunetha.

"yes, yes i do." she asserted sounding more sure of herself then she really was.

He signaled to another guy and he went over and punched Carly in the stomach and then pushed her down.

All of the sudded everyone's attention was on Tunetha. The short guy that had slapped her before, punched her now. All Tunetha could think about was that Carly was safe and her modeling career was over.

"Sorel has a message for your husband" another one said as he punched her in the stomach. The guy holding her arms let her go, she doubled over in pain.

The blond guy grabbed her hair, and jerked her back up "Tell him to leve Zander Smith alone" he kissed Tunetha but when she didn't kiss him back he shoved her to the ground. She began to get up and he kicked her back down.

Another guy knelt down into her face "how bout that fun now Mrs. C" he told her as he slipped his hand up her skirt. Tunetha was in so much pain she could offer up little resistance.

And then as if by the grace of God, they heard tires squealling. The guys ran off, not wanting to face Corinthos and his men. Tunetha curled up into a bal the best she could and just began to cry.

Carly tried to get up and go to her but couldn't stand up.

Duane and Sonny turned the corner to see the women they loved most in this world laying on the ground and crying in pain.
