Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere

Chapter 54



RICARDO.

"This is Marianne's fault and not mine, she was the one who got into a fight with Catherine!" I protested when my dad kept blaming me for what Marianne did.

"But she is your wife, you should have talked some sense into her before you both came here. Salvatore and his daughter left here angrily, this was never what I planned for!

It's been a while since I and Salvatore linked up and now that it happened, you and Marianne ruined it all. What the hell is even wrong with you both?" My father shouted at me and I folded my fists angrily. Marianne is the cause of all this nonsense and I'm the one taking the blame.

Anytime she messes up, I'm the one always suffering the consequences.

Have I been too lenient on her because I don't understand why she never listens!

"You both have to make up for this mess you have created! Marianne has to apologize to Catherine and it has to be a sincere apology." My father said and I sighed.

I hope that Marianne listens this time, I will make her obey if she proves stubborn.

Maybe it's until I crack her head open before she starts listening.

"I will make sure that happens and I would also talk some sense into Marianne."

"It seems she is the stubborn type, don't you know how to handle people like her or are you carried away by the fact that she is your wife? You should straighten her head if she chooses to be reckless and headstrong!" "I will make sure I make things right,"

"I doubt because you are always not doing things right," My father ridiculed me and I folded my fists.

There's no time he doesn't insult me anytime he is scolding me, it's better this time because he didn't call me names.

I know I should have gotten used to his abusive side but it doesn't make sense to get accustomed to something like that.

His abusive words hurt me anytime he throws them at me even though he keeps repeating a particular statement.

"You should leave already!" He ordered me and I walked out quietly.

I went to meet Marianne at the lobby and she immediately tried explaining herself but I just cut her off and asked her to follow me out.

We got into my car and I drove out immediately.

I didn't want to talk to her because if I did, I'm just going to get more annoyed.

She wouldn't stop talking and it annoyed me greatly!

She kept fueling my anger by trying to give an explanation I never asked for.

I abruptly stopped the car and asked her to get out.

"Are you joking or something? I should leave your car, did you utter that by mistake?"

"I said leave my car this minute! You can continue talking outside the car, I've had enough of your nonsense!" I shouted at her and she flinched.

"I did nothing wrong Ricardo! I was only trying to explain myself,"

"Did I ask you anything? Don't you get it when someone is not in a mood? Why do you choose to be a nuisance all the time? Why do you love to get me angry all the time?" I shouted at her and she went mute. "Even you too? What did I even do wrong? Do you expect me to stay calm and allow her to say despicable things about me? You're the main reason why all these happened in the first place.

Catherine likes you and isn't happy with our union, she said all manner of nonsense and sounded as if I was the one who forced myself on you. You know what, I'm going to leave your car if you think I'm being annoying. I'm also tired of you too!" Marianne shouted back at me and suddenly got out of the car.

She bangs the car door so hard and begins walking away.

I didn't think twice before reviving my car engine and driving off without sparing a glance from the car window.

Maybe she probably thinks I'm joking right?

What does she even mean by saying Catherine likes me?

Did she actually lie to defend herself?

I'm actually not friends with Catherine even though our fathers are close friends.

Anytime she comes over at my dad's mansion with her father, we never exchange words except greetings.

So, I'm kind of surprised to hear Marianne say such, could she be lying?

What could Catherine have said to her that made her slap her?

I know Marianne can be thoughtless at times but she is not the type to act on impulse without thinking.

That's the first thing I should have thought about first before blaming her.

Whatever! She shouldn't have raised her hands on Catherine, this is someone who she just met for the first time.

She is lucky enough that she wasn't beaten to a pulp, Catherine was also trained to become like me and she is also in charge of all the missions in her clan.

She must have held back knowing fully well that she is no match for Marianne and she isn't also worth wasting her strength.

I checked the rear mirror of my car and sighed, I was beginning to get worried already.

She is just too stubborn!

Just a single apology and plea would have made me change my mind but she suddenly flared up too and got out of my car.

She doesn't even know anywhere or anyone in this vicinity, I'm marveled by her boldness though.

She really pushes me to the edge all the time!

Maybe I shouldn't have pushed her out of my car even though I was very angry, I should have punished her in a different manner. Sending her out of my car is like pushing her directly into danger!

Does she plan to sleep on the streets or what because she doesn't know anymore and she is not with cash neither is she with her phone!

Oh my goodness! She is the one who pushed me to the wall and made me do something I wasn't willing to do.

I just sent her out of anger, she should have pleaded at least but I guess she would rather be in danger than to let down her pride.

I can't go back home without her, I just have to go look for her.

As I was about to reverse my car, the rain suddenly began pouring down heavily.

Damn! I'm sure she would just be walking down the road and would badly get drained by the rain.

I reversed my car and began driving back with so much speed, I hadn't driven that far so I should be able to find her.

I drove back to the spot I left her in but she was not there.

I knew it! Where could she have gone to? It's pouring down heavily and it's not a good thing that she is walking around in the rain.

The rain was heavier than I expected and I couldn't sight Marianne at all.

This only means that I have to go inside the rain and also search for her too.

"Damn!" I hit the steering wheel of my car and ruffled my hair frustratedly.

I wasn't even with an umbrella, I never planned for something like this to happen.

I got out of my car and made sure the car doors and windows were locked.

I then began searching for Marianne while the rain kept pouring down heavily.

It was useless shouting her name because the intensity of the rain had already swallowed my voice.

Five minutes passed and I was still looking for Marianne like a man who is looking for his stray cat.

Where the hell could she have gone to? She should have just stayed in one place since she isn't familiar with this vicinity at all.

I can't go back home without finding her, my mind won't be at rest! She is lucky I'm being considerate because I can just choose to drive back home without giving a fuck.

Fifteen minutes passed and I couldn't still find Marianne, I was beginning to regret my actions, I shouldn't have sent her out no matter what!

Now, I can't find her, what if she has gotten into danger?

Damn! I wasn't thinking when I actually did that, I was just too angry.

I was badly soaked already and had to return back into my car, I seriously didn't know what to do anymore.

I held my head and released a sharp sigh, Marianne would not be the end of me!

I don't know where else to start looking for her and it's even more difficult since the rain is falling heavily.

I can't ask anyone for help!

My phone suddenly rang and it turned out to be Enzo.

I ignored the call but then, I saw he had called me four times already.

Did something happen or did the mission not go well?

I immediately called him back.

"Did anything happen? What's the matter?"

"Nothing happened at all, underboss, we are back from the mission and it went on smoothly. I just called to inform you that Marianne is with us and we've gotten back home already," I sat up immediately utterly stupefied "What! How come?"
