SWNOVELS Chapter Her Intentions
Clara was standing beside her mother and her brother was behind his father, the family stood up to greet their guest.
When yesterday, she went to her parent's room and ask from her dad to help her that Samuel says, he can help her in getting close to Alessandro and it will be onetime opportunity for her to grasp. Her parents were quick to understand what he meant and he assured her that he will call Angelo and invite him to the dinner with his family.
Clara is a smart woman, she reached to the bottom very quickly and understood that why Samuel was again and again hinting towards her seducing skill. The whole family was happy and excited to get the opportunity.
Clara and her mom went to the shopping once, Angelo Martini confirmed him about attending the dinner. She was very picky for the outfit as her aim was to look the most beautiful woman in the dinner and attract Alessandro through her beauty and her body.
Red wine color dress was selected after the numerous trial she had in many shops. The dress had a v neck that goes down deep, ending just few inches above her belly button. The dress had a slit on left leg, revealing her long legs which will help her in seducing her target.
As the Martini family entered in to the room, the smile on Peterson family faded. They invited their family but Angelo Martini had brought others as well.
'Angelo, who are they?' they were quick to realize, the woman Alessandro was holding close to him was the one with whom he had one night stand and she had gave birth to his sons. Mr. Peterson did not hide his displease. 'Who?' turning his head, Angelo Martini looked at the door.
'I just came with my family as you said.' Shrugging his shoulder Angelo Martini dragged a chair for him and sat down, not bothering that hosts were still standing.
'Oh, yes! You may not recognize everyone, as you only knew Alessandro' he pointed out towards everyone and introduced them.
'She is my daughter in law, and they are my grandsons. I told you about Alessandro's kids remember' he motioned for his family to take the seat on chairs.
'How can I forgot about them' with clenched jaw, he extended his hand for Alessandro to shake, but he ignored him and made sure that his family is settled comfortably.
Clara's eyes were dig on Autumn. She recognized her dress immediately, as she liked it yesterday while shopping but it was too expensive, beyond their limit so she had to move to another one which was way cheaper than it.
She eyed her preparation, the stylish bun highlighted her slender neck and sharp jawline. Her petite body was looking perfect in that dress, showing off her curves. The diamond earnings and bracelet on her smooth skin gave her a charming glow and her smile was a killer, the light makeup only enhances her face features, making her stunning.
Clara found herself low and ugly in front of her, and the thought alone surge the rage in her.
'Only, if she had not gave birth to those bastards' she muttered inwardly and pulled the chair to sit across of Alessandro.
'I will snatch your man, right in front of you today, and you will be unable to stop me. Just wait' she mumbled throwing daggers at Autumn. Alessandro was observing her with his peripheral vision and the more he was observing the more disgust inside him was building.
'We have to be quick okay?' he leaned to his left and whispered in Gabriel's ear.
'Noted boss' waiter came in with the starter dishes and juices. Clara hold her glass in her hand and with a blink of an eye, dropped something in her drink, while doing this she was careful that no one has seen her, but there was someone who had watched her and she missed to check on him.
The discussion on business was started, talking about politics, economy, situation in other states of America and future outcomes of the government policies, everything was being discussed on the table while eating the food. When Clara clear her throat to gain Alessandro and Autumn's attention.
'Alessandro, the juice you have is my favorite, will you mind switching?' Alessandro eyed her, but to bring everyone's attention towards them he nodded and took the glass from her hands. He was suspicious though, but did not say anything, he decided not to drink the juice she gave him.
Half an hour later, waiter came in with main course dishes. Mr. Peterson, had ordered the most expensive dishes of this hotel. He was expecting to achieve too much after this dinner meet up hence he had no worries in spending thousands of dollars, however, the Martini family was sternly watching all of this. Gabriel nodded curtly to the waiter and he bowed his head in response. The table was served with chef recommendation and hotel's specialties.
With small chatting and little chuckling around the table kept the environment light. Peterson family's eyes flickered towards Alessandro occasionally, only to find him worried for feeding Autumn and his kids.
'Daddy, when will we go home?' Logan pulled the blazer of his father and murmured to him, Alessandro swiftly wrapped his around his small figure and made him sit on his lap, so he can have small chat with him while feeding him the dessert. Getting jealous, Ethan hold the thigh of his father and jumped to hop over. It was difficult for him though as Alessandro was tall and even with seated position it was getting hard for Ethan to climb.
He helped him by giving a little push to his hips and next moment he was sitting on his another lap.
'You are spoiling them' Autumn was noticing from sometime now that, boys were taking advantage of their father's soft side and they've learned that it is easy to get anything just by acting sad and pout. Alessandro couldn't resist their sad faces.
'They are Martinis, born to be spoiled' shrugging his shoulder, he gives in to taste the dessert.
The scene was watched by every person sitting there, for people from Martini house, it was a usual thing now, but Clara and her family were dragged on a burnt coal.
All of sudden Autumn started to cough, her eyes turned watery in a seconds.
'What happened?' Sandro rubbed his hand on her back.
'Spicy?' she managed to say and looked for something to drink.
