Ariana’s pov-
I got hungry again in the middle of the night, I took light steps, I didn’t want to wake my irritated family, since Silvio’s standoff with Mateo in front of the villa, papa had been extra irritated, but when he saw Mateo leave he smiled and hugged me tightly.
This was a very unusual thing for my father to do.
my body felt cold.
“You, my whore of a daughter have given me the solution to catch a stray rat, finally” he whispered to me, my
I knew at that moment chaos was about to happen and my father is its architect.
I quietly tiptoed, opened the door of my room and a new bodyguard stared right in my face, I cleared my throat and straightened myself.
“And you are?” I didn’t see Lorenzo anymore, I figured he was sacked, and I felt instantly guilty.
“Julio” he coldly replied, I’m certain he had heard about me and my escapade with Lorenzo.
“Where is Lorenzo?” I asked adjusting my nightie around my body tightly.
“Dead” he replied again coldly, I swallowed hard, poor Lorenzo, I can’t push it past my father, he didn’t leave room for mistak
“I’m hungry, I want to get a late snack,” I said, calm and precise.
“I have clear instructions to follow you any and everywhere you want to po” he replied, his response was that of a military soldier, too afraid to defy his general in this case my father.
I nodded, and he gestured towards the hallway, which he followed closely behind.
All the while we walked to the kitchen, the silence was deafening, but it gave me time to ponder on how to escape from there.
Fiona, God bless her, had sent me a text with the phone she sneaked into my hand, even though Papa had searched me thoroughly after Silvio brought me home, I found a tricky way to hide it
the tickets are ready, her part is done, and Mine is to figure out a way to escape.
I got to the huge Erie kitchen, you could hear the dead silence, and I loved h, peace away from my family.
I opened the pantry to see what I could eat, but then I had the sudden urge to eat zucchini and peanut butter, these pregnancy cravings came without warning-
I picked one fresh zucchini from the shelf, I picked up the peanut butter too.
I came out of the pantry and I settled on the kitchen island, eating my weird combo peacefully, Julio’s eyes permanently fixed on me.
A few moments later, I heard footsteps, I wished it was Lulu my stepmother’s dog, but it was much worse.
Her spawns came walking in, Serena with a smile on her face, and Luna with a scowl.
“I knew I’d find you here!” Serena gasped, “I couldn’t believe it when I heard it from Lucia this evening!” she continued,lucia was the daughter of one of the men our father did business with, I looked at her with annoyance, dipping the zucchini in peanut butter.
“What are you talking about? I’m not in the mood for one of your fake episodes, Serena” I replied sticking the well–coated zucchini in my mouth.
“We heard a rumour you fucked our brother, so he is your baby’s father!” Luna finally exclaimed, “That’s exactly what she’s trying to say! Prude!” Luna laughed, and my heart sank, I knew it was a matter of time before the information got to Silvio, the only person I told was Papa and Fiona, but, Fiona couldn’t have done this, this is most definitely Papa.
“What do you mean a rumour?” I asked, putting down the zucchini as I had already lost my appetite.
Chapter 14
Serena moved closer to me, “Everyone in Marina Verde and beyond already knows about your lustful ways, I understand that we are not blood, but still papa raised him as our brother” Serena smiled.
“I know he is attractive, God knows id give anything to have his meat inside me, tell me how it felt, is he as crazy as the ladies say, you know we have heard some of his sexcapades” she continued reaching out to touch my arm, I quickly pulled away from her venomous grasp.
“I don’t have anything to say to you, if you want answers to your questions then you know the way to his villa, I believe you are welcome to ask him for a taste” I replied, covering up the peanut butter.
