Chapter Book One :- Part Eighteen
She was awake already but a little afraid to open her eyes, a smile found it's way to her lips when visions of about what happened yesterday never left her even through her dreams. All her life she had never felt this so alive and free, like she was floating above on the clouds. She could still feel his touch all over her body and his kisses.
Her eyes finally opened and she stared up at the ceiling, Her heart was still filled with happiness and for sure she couldn't stop smiling. Turning to her other side where he laid. Sadness seeped in at the emptiness. She had slept through and he left early. Even through the sadness, she knew she shouldn't cause Gaetano had things to take care of but at least for their first night, he could have stayed until she woke up... Putting a bed sheet around her body, she made her way to the bathroom to at least wash her body.
For once in her life, she craved someone's attention but deep down.. She knew he his busy but at least now he was all hers.
When the warm waters hit her body she ended up leaning on a shower wall while memories about her father seeped in. Now she was all alone no mom, no father and she slid down on the wall sitting on the hard floors and letting her self cry her pain out.
It was suffocating her at the moment, seeing Dante Conzalato clutching his stomach which couldn't stop bleeding made her cry more. Her cries turned in to hiccups as she sat there before standing up and also pulling herself up, she continued with her washing up before stepping out
She didn't have any clothes around which got her wearing his boxers and his over sized T-Shirt.. Her stomach growled loudly reminding her that she hasn't eaten for like two days.
She walked out of the bed room and walked around the unrecognized house. Her hand moved with her on the wall until she came out if the hall to a beautiful living room..
She expected his house to be a mansion but to Gaetano he hated show off and he loved his space.
A beautiful wine consoler got her attention making her smile. How could she hesitate to go there and taste something but right now. She needed food.
She went towards the room on the side next to the beginning of the hallway which had it's door wide open. She didn't need a map guide her around this place, it was a simple house.
Standing in the door way, her eyes landed on a blonde standing next to the counter. Her beautiful body was covered with black short tight dress that stopped exactly two feet under her butt.
They seemed to be the same height but she had black wedged heels on making her a little taller and the way she was gulping down the glass water showed that she wasn't an intruder. Standing there she blocked out one thing, her thoughts and conclusions.
Larissa was unable to say something or anything but just stood there silently until the girl turned around coming face to face with her..
She had beautiful hazel blue eyes and her light lips covered in nude lipstick. Staring at each other for a few minutes she pulled up a disgusted look at her while he looked her up from toe to her brown hair..
"I see.., now you can leave" she stated turning around which caught Larissa off guard.
"Excuse me" Larissa replied trying to hide her deep shades of anger that were starting to rise up my spine..
"I think my brother is done with you now, so go up there and change in to your beautiful slutty outfit and get out.. If you still want more money then state the number.." She replied certainly holding a bowl of spaghetti she had just cooked and taking a sit on the small six sitter dinning table facing Larissa allowing themselves to take a good look at each other..
"Well if your so found of getting me out of here nice try then cause am not leaving until your brother says so.." Larissa replied
"I guess the problem is money now, As I said state the number and I will pay.." She said eyeing her up and down" for your services.." Her eyes went back to Larissa's face who had an angry face plastered on..
Larissa stared at this girl a few seconds before her hands fell on her sides curling into hard fists. She started taking careful steps towards this girl who didn't seem to move or fazed by her movements before two hands wrapped around her waist pulling her back. Her heart reacted straight away at his touch and it didn't take her seconds to know it was the one man who owned her now.

"Treasure?" he whispered in her ear more like a question trying to understand what's going on here as Gianni walked in to the room with Marco.
"Stephanie " Gianni glared at her at the sight of Larissa's fists while Marco leaned back staring at his phone as if waiting for a surprise message from some one special.
"I know that look, Gianni.. Come on I was just telling this bit..."
"Don't!!" Gaetano Ordered in a harsh tone that sent a shiver down Larissa's spine.
"Don't you dare ever insult her and she has a name "
Stephanie froze at the sudden outburst of Gaetano while Gianni looked else where around the kitchen except her
"This meeting is going to be so much fun" Marco commented with an amused smirk..
"Am I missing something here" Stephanie asked and Gaetano stared at her so did she return the favour.
"She's isn't just any woman or one of the girls you think she is, she special Stephanie at least be nice for once" Stephanie scoffed.
Be nice, what does he mean be nice to girl seemed to be more interested in their money as she thought.
"What are you wearing?" Gianni asked reminding her about her dress.
"A dress" she replied and he groaned..
"1 2.." Gianni started then she stood up and walked away before he could finish.
"So she's your sister" Larissa questioned which came out more like a statement and Gaetano nodded. Her eyes closed and she took a deep sigh
Not because of Stephanie but Gaetano, he was too far quiet and she felt it like he was hiding something from her and she knew it.
Her eyes moved over to Gianni and Marco who all seemed to avoid her eyes, she felt the tension high and took a step back. In her heart she knew something else had happened.
She was thinking of her father at the moment and to be sincere, she didn't need anything else worsening at the moment. "Okay you three spit it out" she stated
Gaetano looked at the others before holding her hand and lead her to a chair making her sit down while he squat down in front of her and held her other arm. "Larissa, you need to get back to Sicily" he stated and she stared at him wide eyed
The serious ness in his tone got her curious, it wasn't about her getting home but there was more and she wanted to know before freaking out about anything. "Why..?" She asked and he closed his eyes taking a deep breath
"Pivaratti is planning to attack and take over your father's place, and you need to get there and take your position" he explained and opened his eyes to look at her.
She was surprisingly calm about everything but now there was fear in her voice.. "I can't manage, I will just let them down and get most of the men killed" She stated looking down at her lap after voicing out her insecurity. Her father used to say she was useless and that will be confirmed true if she takes over she's too soft to manage
"Who said your alone, there's a way we can join forces and that's if we get married..." As the words left his mouth she stared at him in horror, confusion fear sadness and pain.
