Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere

MARIANNE.

Damn! I didn't realize I slept this long. It's a few minutes past eleven in the morning and I am just waking up. I still feel very sleepy but I just had to stand up. I'm not the type that wakes up late, it's just that I didn't sleep throughout the last night.

I was up on the phone with Sophia, we talked about a lot of things and I never felt like ending the call not until she slept off during the call.

I feel so relieved that she is getting discharged from the hospital today, she is fully healed already.

She is the only one who can keep me company since I'm going to be all alone in this mansion all the time.

I will just keep calling her frequently and spending more time on calls with her so I don't die of boredom.

I got out of my room and noticed Ricardo wasn't in the house, including Enzo. I guess he must have gone somewhere since he is a busy man as he claims.

He left without letting me know where he was going. I almost forgot, it's not my business right?

Who knows if he is going to come back today? Sometimes, it feels not only lonely to be all alone in this mansion but also scary.

You paint different scenarios and end up freaking out and it's even worse since I just moved in.

Gosh! Today is literally going to be a long day for me.

I had to first go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast because I was famished like crazy.

I think the only thing I can prepare out of the ingredients and food stocks available in this kitchen are, tea and garnished toast, noodles and I think spaghetti and meatballs. The kitchen was mostly with Italian food ingredients which I didn't know how to prepare. If Ricardo isn't going to employ a maid or a cook, then they are all going to go bad.

Well, I'm the one going to suffer from it since I'm going to always be at home every single day.

I get hungry every hour and if I keep on preparing noodles and spaghetti, I'm going to get tired of it.

I'm sure Ricardo would get better meals out there or even Kathy might prepare something nice.

I'm the only one that would be very much affected, he is just so wicked!

The only time I can get lucky to eat good solid food is only when Enzo is around. I can beg him to teach me or learn from the Internet, which is not very reliable.

I've just got to get a bit close to him, he doesn't seem too uptight and arrogant like his brainless boss.

After having breakfast, I decided to take a tour around the mansion. I couldn't access most rooms that were locked with a passcode.

I found out there's a game room and also a library, wow! I won't be that bored at least.

The mansion looks well secured with the electric fences which were taller than the mansion itself plus the gigantic gate to crown it all.

I feel safe being inside here even though I feel locked in since the gate was locked already.

My face brightened up when I saw the pool, the water was the cleanest I've ever seen and even the structure of the pool was very attractive.

I sat at the edge of the pool and dipped my feet inside of it, I felt a tickling sensation and giggled.

I had no plan to swim but I decided to swim with only my nightwear on. It wasn't a bad idea to swim and I swam out all my worries.

I think the only thing that makes me happy in this mansion is the pool, the library and the game room I recently found out.

I can't believe my job would just be waking up, eating and engaging in fun things to keep myself busy.

I spent more than an hour swimming, and when I finally got tired, I came out soaking wet. I didn't come here with a towel so I just went in like that.

I took a shower afterward and changed into something casual and comfy.

The time was ticking slowly which was so annoying, I don't know why I kept wondering if Ricardo was going to return home today or not.

The sudden thought of him suddenly made me have the urge to go check Ricardo's room.

I'm sure I'm going to find interesting things in there, I didn't really look around or study the room the few times I went in there.

I was greatly disappointed when I found out that the door uses a fingerprint and passcode before it can open.

Even if one knows the password, you cannot have access if it's not him, his fingerprints have been registered.

I'm sure he has a lot of things he is keeping in there,

My phone which I was holding suddenly vibrated.

I checked and it turns out I got a message from Sophia, I opened it immediately.

"I just learned that Oliver moved out of Arizona," The message reads and I gasped lightly.

He moved out? Why? He owns a house back in Arizona so why did he leave? If I am the reason why, then I can call him dumb.

Why would he do that?

Maybe he moved to another place to heal faster and start a new life. I feel so bad already. I hope he forgets about me completely, finds someone better and also finds the happiness he deserves. Wait, what if he actually moved to Italy because of me?

That's impossible, right? Damn me for thinking such!

I wanted to call Sophia but I realized if she was less busy, she would have called instead.

I guess she must have been discharged from the hospital already.

"Stir and make it fry for minutes, "The next instruction says and I obeyed.

I was actually trying to prepare dinner with an online class. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a failure because the Internet isn't to be trusted.

I was trying to make Lasagna, the meal Enzo prepared the other time, I actually enjoyed it and decided to try making it myself.

Ricardo actually came back a few minutes ago, it was night already.

I only learned he was back because I heard the driving sound of the car.

He didn't even say a word to me and just walked past me like a ghost.

I knew we agreed to mind our business but that's just him being too extra! It's normal to exchange a few words since we are living in the same house, he won't just stop annoying me.

Enzo didn't come back home, if not, I would have asked for his help, he must be busy with something else.

I kept stirring while watching and following the instructions on my phone.

My phone suddenly slips and falls inside the bowl of water next to it.

Oh my God!

I immediately abandoned what I was doing and picked it up immediately. Even though it was a water-resistant phone, I was still a bit scared. Once I lose this phone, I automatically lose other things that I struggled to retrieve back into it. Thankfully the phone was perfectly fine so I just decided to keep it out of the kitchen and wait for it to dry.

That instant, I remembered I was actually frying veggies and immediately rushed back to the kitchen with so much speed.

Lo and behold, the contents of the frying pan were already on fire.

I screamed out in fear as I tried to put it off but the intensity of the fire increased and began to spread.

I got confused and scared and continued screaming.

I tried to take out the pan from the fire with my bare hands forgetting how hot it was.

My scream got louder as soon as my fingers got burnt by the frying pan, I threw it aside.

I moved around in circles while trying to nurse the burns on my fingers.

Ricardo rushed in at that moment and gasped when he saw the fire, he fetched a bowl of water and quenched the fire.

The fire wasn't put off completely so he immediately got a fire extinguisher which he used to put off the fire completely.

I released a heavy sigh of relief.

I was too terrified to even think of getting water or even a fire extinguisher.

Damn! My fingers hurt so bad, it turned red already and was swelling already.

I looked at Ricardo and met a furious expression that sent me chills, I had to look away.

I knew I was in for scolding and yelling since I was at fault this time.

"Are you planning on razing down this house with fire!!!"
