"Nooo" Arianna screamed and woke up from her slummer. Damn! Her heart was beating so fast. Phew...! She just got a bad dream. She stares at the bed and could see Brandon still sleeping peacefully.
"What sort of dream is this" She question herself as she touched her palpitating heart. She suddenly became sweaty.
"Fasten your seat belts, we're about to land" A voice echoes round the place she was and no doubts it belongs to the pilot. A smile curves around the corner of her mouth. She just couldn't contain the joy of seeing her cute son again. And that's what should occupied her thoughts and not this scary dream. She smiled and inhaled deeply.
"Chicago here i come"She muttered.
LOCATION: ITALY
A REMOTE AREA
Mrs Rossie walked through the path her house was located. It's been awhile since she came to the house. Yeah! Since the day she had secretly followed Richmond to the Clan. From a far, she took a view of the house. It looks so abandoned. Oh! What was she saying, of course it has been abandoned. The area was noisy- as usual- and filled with rugged looking boys, drinking and smoking and some half naked females displaying at every corners of the remote area. Everywhere looking so dirty abd corrupt. She was able to make her way down to her home. As she got close, she heard voices accompanied with laughter coming out of the house. The door was widely opened and without moving further, she could see those inside. Richmond was backing her. She saw some old men in the house. They were all smoking. Mrs. Rossie covered her face with the scarf to avoid getting seen by anyone of them.
She saw one of them bringing bunch of money and Mrs. Rossie doesn't need to be told that they were gambling. Tears walked from her eyes freely.
What was she expecting? For him to change?. If he got the heart to shoot her then change is far from him. His humanity has been sold. The same with her daughter and there's no need coming here.
She made a big mistake coming back to him. They're no longer her family. She shook her head and turned to leave.
**An unknown place in italy**
Mrs Beatrice was forcefully pushed into the room by the mask men. She fell on her butt and it was hurt. She looked up at them and their eyes depleted anger.
"Who are you?.Why did you bring me here?. What do you want from me" She yelled.
"Of...of course, nothing" They all replied sarcastically and burst into an uncontrollable laughter.
One of them took a gown and throw it at her. " Put it on"One of them said.
Mrs Beatrice picked tge goen and stared at the it. It was damn shocked and revealing. She only wear those when seducing her husband.
"I can't. Its too short and revealing" She spoke. One of the men brought their gown and shot on the wall making her gasped.
"Will you or....
"Fine....drop your gun. I...i will wear it"She stuttered.
Mrs Beatrice realized she had no choice and so, she grudgingly wore the gown. She felt so shameful pulling her dress in front of those mask men. She bite her lower lip and eventually took them in.
She prayed inwardly for her husband to find her soon.
She wore the gown completely. It was too short and tight on her and revealed all her curves making her so so uncomfortable.
Apart from the shortness, she looks really classy like in her late twenties.
She never knew she was this curvy. Now she knows where Arianna got her curves and butt for. But those this mask men had an idea who she was?. She bite on her lower lip harder. She was never gonna forgive who was behind it.. Never! She sworn.
"Sit here and wait for the boss"One of them said.
Mrs Beatrice sighed. She only hoped all this won't caused her to cheat on her husband.
CHICAGO**
"We're home"Mia announced.
Eden sigh. "Finally" He pouted. The road they passed today was the longest ever to him.
Getting attacked by the guys earlier was something else and he kinda love the fight he was into. Maybe because its been long he fought with something. Yes, the adventures he do have in the bush was what he missed in Italy.
"My feet hurt" He groaned. His mind went back to those kids in his school. They were so rich. They all got the privilege of coming to school by cars and being taken back home with cars by their parents. It seems he's the only one trekking home but that wasn't want hurt the most.
He missed his parent. His mom, his dad, he fucking missed them.
The feeling of having to walk with his mom or dad to school"Eden " Mia called bringing him out of his thought.
"Common, let's go in" Mia said but he shook his head rather.
"No, i don't want to" he said sadly and sat at the entrance.
"Why?. What's the matter?" She asked but little Eden shook his head. "I just don't want to" He said stubbornly. "Forcing you is a waste. I get that. I guessed i should call Granny to do that" Mia said and went inside. Eden didn't bulged. He eyes were teary as he stares at his surrounding.
Moment later, Granny came out and Eden wasn't oblivious that she was right behind him.
"I miss momma...papa" his words were coming out like a whisper and the tears he was trying so hard to hold dropped from his eyes.
"My boy" Granny said her brows creased in wonder.
Can't even believe he was crying. "Why are you crying?. What could it be?. The Eden i know hardly cries" She said sitting next to him.
"Granny..... I'm i a bad luck?" He asked and Granny gasped.
"Hell no son! Why will you say that?"She asked. "Why do i lack the privilege of spending time with my momma and papa. I grew up without momma and papa doesn't stay with us. When i finally found momma, we were taken here by papa. Tell me Granny, can't i be like those student in my school. Driven to school by their momma and papa. I don't want those flashing cars Granny, i only want Momma and Papa or having just momma beside me is more than enough. Tell me if I'm being selfish then i won't asked for this request anymore" He said in-between tears and by the time he was done, he became a crying mess.
"Come here"Granny said. "Okay Granny" He cried. Granny hugged him tightly and stroke his hair.
"It's gonna be fine" She muttered.
"It never will" Eden responded. "Trust Granny okay. It's gonna be fine. Cry it all out on me"She said and Eden did.
"Poor kid" Mia said coming out. Eden withdraw from the hug and stares at Granny then gave her a sad smile.
"I'm fine now" he said.
"Well... I'm glad I was able to make your little time worth the while. Right? I made you feel good a little?" She asked and Eden nodded.
"Come along, i got something to show me"Granny said and his eyes dilated in shock.
"You got a surprise for me?" He asked.
"And you won't know what is it if you don't come in"Granny winces and he smirked.
"Sure Granny" He replied and followed Granny inside.
He was the last to entered fully and then shut the door behind him. He turned and gasped out.
"Surprise" Mia and Granny said in unison.
Eden gasped out again. "My son" Arianna called.
His eyes widened and his wide opened mouth.
"Momma" he blinked his eyes continuously. "My Baby " Arianna said widening her hands to welcome his son.
"Momma" Eden screamed running to meet her. He got to him and Arianna welcomed him in her arms and raised him up.
"Momma"He smile widely. His joy knew no bounds. "I can't believe you're here mummy" He said touching her face with his little hands. "Momma is here now. She's never gonna leave you again" Arianna muttered hugging him tight. They took forever embracing each other. No one wanting to disengaged. " I miss you mummy" he said all over as he beemed with smiles.
He jumped down and climb the nearby chair. " My momma is back. My momma is back" he screamed jumping on the chair.
"Eden you're gonna damage my chair"Granny screamed. "Let him be Granny. He's happy" Arianna muttered as he watched her son jumping. She never knew he would remember her quickly even with the face differs.
"I love you momma" Eden screamed out bringing her out of her thought.
THE WALTON RESIDENT***
"you mean my wife is not yet back?" Mr Walton asked the maids as he entered his mansion.
Some of the maids were busy packing the family luggage since they will be moving to Chicago.
"This is strange" he muttered. He had left his wife at the port after tgey both saw Arianna off. He had got to his office to complete some documents.
Mrs. Rossie walked in at their moment. "Sir..." She called. He turned his gaze to her
"Walton.....just called me Walton" He said and Mrs Rossie swallowed hard finding it hard to say it.
"I just.....just wanna say i will come with you guys to Chicago"She muttered. "You changed your mind?"Mr Walton asked and she nodded. "I have no reasons to be here" She added.
"Alright then. I'll made preparations for you. For now i should go look for my wife" He said and Mrs Rossie ceased her brows. "She isnt back?" She asked.
"It's crazy but yes. She isn't picking my calls either" He muttered running his fingers across his hair.
"I'll come with you to look for her" She added. Mr Walton stared at her for a while and nodded in approval.
THE HIDEOUT
"You!!" Beatrice screamed out in horror as she stared at Richmond.
"You're behind my kidnapped?"She asked feeling so shocked to believe.
Richmond said no words as he moved so close to her. She kept moving back with every steps he came forward with. Her back finally rested on the wall. He got to her and stared down at her neck, making her cringe. He brought out his cigarette. He lighted it and placed it between his mouth. He took it inside and puffed out smoke on Mrs Beatrice face.
"What do you want from me" Mrs Beatrice said coughing out. Richmond laughed out wondering if that's even a question.
"I want you, you know i have always want you" he whispered, his breath touching her neck.
"I want to be so deep inside of you, and make you feel things your husband never made you feel".
He said and Mrs Beatrice angrily pushed him off. "You're crazy Richmond. I'm now married...why can't that get into your skull. I'm fucking married" She yelled showing her ring to him. Richmond burst into an uncontrollable laughter. "Say that to the mud" He grabbed her hand.
"Im gonna have you. We will get married and start a family..... together"He said emphasizing the word together. She struggled under his hold and Richmond let go with force making her hit her head on the wall. Blood gesture out and hot tears ran down her cheek.
TWO WEEKS LATER
THE MAFIA CLAN
Bluey climbed up heading to Angelo's suite. She met Jenna on the way and huffed. Jenna ignored and walked passed her. She scoffed and continued walking. Its been two weeks already and she's making preparations with Angelo to leave Italy.
She sighted a maid coming with a cup of hot tea and smile as she felt the urge to cause an accident. The maid got to her and she intentionally brushed her arm and the hot tea spilled on the maid.
"Hah!" The maid screamed and Bluey rolled her eyes. "How dare you" She yelled at the maid who was already in tears.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry ma'am. I'm sorry. Please forgive me" She apologized regardlessly.
Bluey only rolled her eyes.
"Oh? Keep your worthless apologies to yourself. Have you gone blind? How dare you spill some dirty tea on the floor? What the f"*k is wrong with you?!" She yelled.
"I'm really sorry. Please, forgive me" the maid's head was bowed the whole time.
"Shut up" She screamed angrily.
Immediately, Bluey found Angelo climbing down the stairs. She ran to him as she faked tears.
"Honey, this silly maid spilt tea on me" She lied crying.
"You shouldn't yell at anyone here. Including the maids" he spoke calmly.
Bluey's eyes dimmed.
Hold on... Was he supporting the maid?
"But.....
"No but Arianna. You have no right to do that. Apologize to the maid" He said and she gasped.
"What!" She half yelled.
"Now Arianna or you're gonna be grounded. No more freedom to come out of your room" he said and her eyes widened.
"You can't do this to me" She said lowly avoiding creating a scene. This was the biggest humiliation ever.
"I definitely can if you try me" he said in a cold voice.
"Sorry" She said quickly not staring at tge maid. "Do it properly" Angelo voice came in.
"I'm sorry" She said and took her lip in.
"Good" He replied. Bluey angrily rushed out. She couldn't believe what just happened.
.
.
.
Bluey rushed to the room she share with Jenna. It's been a while she came to her room since she was always at the Boss suite but right now she is mad at him. She started throwing her stuff angrily.
Sofia ignored her and entered the bathroom. A guard entered the room almost immediately.
"The boss sent for you" They informed her. She scoffed. After the humiliation. She's definitely gonna make him pay.
"Sure" She replied.
She walked straight to the Boss suite and entered without knocking. He met him facing the window.
"I need you to make breakfast for me, Arianna". He said without turning to face her.
"Breakfast? There's a lot of maid here who can do that" she said and that made Angelo to turned and face her.
"You're gonna be my wife soon. Don't tell me I'll make it a priority to look for a maid when we get married" He said calmly and Bluey swallowed hard. "I should go make you breakfast" She said and gave him a fake smile before heading to the kitchen.
*
*
After about an hour, she we done and took the meal to Angelo. Some maids made funny whispers seeing her in the kitchen and also coming out with a plate of food. She lower her head in shame as she couldn't stare at them.
" I was beginning to think it'll take forever, you know?" Angelo stated coldly as Bluey entered his suite.
"Of course not" She replied. "enjoy your meal. I should head back to my room" She said tiring.
"Are you avoiding me Bluey or you're obviously tired for making a common meal?.You're as lazy as a tortoise " He said with ecstasy.
"Is that your own way of saying*thank you for the meal?" She said annoyingly. How dare he call her a tortoise "You have no right to question me Bluey" He said coldly and Bluey furrowed her brows. "What have come over you!" She blurted out.
"Say that again and i wouldn't hesitate to squeeze the little life in you"He said and angrily pushed the food away making her gasped in fright.
"Clear the mess" He said to her and walked to his closet. He took some of his dirty clothes and walked back to Bluey who was still on the floor. He threw the clothes at her.
"They're dirty and i need you to wash them with your hands" He said with missing a word. "Take them and get out" he half yelled.
"But....
"Get out" he backed making her heart skipped. She quickly cleared the broken plate and mess. She carried the clothes and hurried out of his room. Tears started pouring out of her eyes like rain.
She wondered what have come over him. As she walked, most of the maids stared at her.
God!
She looked down and hurried her pace. She wasn't looking where she was heading and burst into Draco.
"Watch it" She vented her anger on him.
"Easy pumpkin" He said and she only rolls eyes at him. Suddenly, she felt something rushing out of her throat and that moment, she felt the urge to poke. She rushed to the nearby restroom and vomited.
She wasn't aware Jenna was in the restroom. "What the heck" She said staring at Bluey throwing up continuously.
