~~~Chapter nine~~~
At the Makessa mansion,
Rome city_ Italy.
Mr Cesare sat on the chaise lounge as his gaze lingered on Esmeralda who stood in front of the family members like someone who had been suspected to commit a crime and his ready to be question
"Papa, can we get this done with, I have a place to attend with the ladies you impose on me" Viktoria said
"This meeting will be of an interest to you Viktoria"
Mr Cesare said which made her sigh while he took his gaze back to Esmeralda
"You shouldn't be seen in the mansion next week on Tuesday"
He stated
Esmeralda looked at him
"Why is that"
Alyssa asked
"Our family will be hosting the Reggani on that day, on seeing her they might start asking question which I'm not ready to answer"
He responded and a smile form on Victoria's lips
"Really dad"
Viktoria asked and he nodded in affirmation
"She won't be seen on that day but at least she'll have to help with the preparation, I hope you give your consent darling"
Mrs Luanda said as she massage his hair
"Of course, she'll assist you in whatever you want her to do"
He responded which got her smiling
Viktoria stood up
"I really need to go shopping, I must look really beautiful on that day"
She said while Alyssa rolled her eyes
"I don't think you have to, I'm sure you have a lot of dresses that you haven't worn"
Alyssa responded
"Yeah, I know about that but this is different, my soon to be husband is visiting the mansion, my home, I have to look my very best"
Viktoria stated before she took her leave slightly pushing Esmeralda who staggered, although she didn't fall
Her leg met with the table in full force
She winced in pain silently while avoiding the fury gaze of Mrs Luanda.

Esmeralda was in the kitchen as she was doing her chores which involve arranging and cleaning up the mess that was made by the chef
"Young lady"
A stern voice called and she turned to see Mrs Luanda who stood by the door with a disgust look clearly written on her face
"After you're through with your duties, you'll take the ATM that's on the counter, go to the mall and get everything on the list, I'm I understood"
She demanded which got her nodding
With a loud hiss, Mrs Luanda walked out of the kitchen
Esmeralda quickly rounded up with what she was doing, she was aware that if Mrs Luanda arrive and should see her, she will be in trouble
After she was through, she left the kitchen after taking the ATM and list from the counter
Getting out of the mansion, she was dressed in a floral gown along with a flip flops as she left her hair in a messy bun
After walking a long distance, she boarded a cab that took her to her destination
At the Martino apartment,
Rome city_ Italy.
Primo sat on the cushion as he stared at his phone patiently waiting for her reply
He had sent her a message which she hadn't respond to
This attitude of his was noticed by his sister who had a smile on her face, she walked up to him and sat down
A mischievous smile was clearly seen on her lips
"Who's she"
She asked and he looked at her
He doesn't need her problem right now
"It's no one"
He lied and she dragged the phone away from him in a jiffy
She stood up immediately taking a great distance from him
He stood up and went after her
She ran using the cushion as her protective aid
He noticed it and jumped over the cushion but before he could get to her, she swift her way beneath his arms to the opposite direction
She chuckled while he frowned
"Natalie, I'm not in the mood to play with you, give me my phone"
He said
"No, you even saved as Esmeralda with a love emoji, its cute for a naive person like you, mi amore or mi corazon will be better"
Natalie responded
"What's going on here" Mrs Claudia asked as she walked out from her room due to the noise they made
"Primo has a girlfriend"
Natalie stated and that made Mrs Claudia faced him
"I don't have a girlfriend, well not yet"He responded "I don't know what's she's talking about"
Mrs Claudia sighed
"Not yet, means you plan on having one really soon, lemme guess Laliana Reggani"
Mrs Claudia asked which got Natalie and primo chuckling
"The last time I check I'm not a comedian so what's funny"
"Mom why won't we laugh, out of the ladies you mentioned Laliana Reggani, she might be to this family but wouldn't stoop as low as to date Primo"
Primo glared at her which she laughed
"Stoop so low as how, we aren't poor any longer, we're really rich and comfortable and my son is a fine and handsome man, she should be lucky to have a man as him beside her"
Mrs Claudia said
"What Natalie meant was that, her family won't let her be with someone who isn't as prestigious and influential as them, most especially a worker and so as Laliana, she wouldn't even look my way"
Primo responded and collected his phone from Natalie when he got close to her
She only rolled her eyes
"So who's this lady Primo"
Mrs Claudia asked which got him smiling
"She's very beautiful, my ideal lady, organized and decent in her dressing but at times act confuse in reality, she has the best smile but there's a problem..."
He paused and looked at his family
"She's mute"
He added and they look at him dumbfounded
"What"
