CHAPTER FOUR

DIANA

“You have to phone me when you get to the hotel, is that understood?”

“Yes Dad” I laughed while Lucien scowled.

I knew he was not finding this funny and he probably was still thinking this was some form of rebellion from me as always. This was different and there was no way to properly explain it to them even if I tried in a thousand different languages.

“I will miss you, Di” Anthony said, gripping the legs of my pant suit

“I will miss you too baby. Take care of Mara for me” I told him.

He nodded and then sniffled before letting go of me. I smiled at my mother who was trying to put on a brave face for me but I could tell she was hurt and wanted nothing more than me to tell her this was some sort of prank and I was happy I got all of them.

“I will phone you immediately I get into the room” I addressed my mother

She braved a smile and then hugged me before I climbed into the helicopter. It was when it was in the air that I cried while I watched my family turn into spe

    FIVEDIANADante… Dante, I continued muttering as I was led into the elevator and up to my room.I was enamored by the man and I had only just been here for two seconds. It was like the lord’s way of telling me that he had approved my movement and was behind me in support. I thanked the man who had brought my luggage in a broken and very horrible Spanish and when he continued looking at me, I reached into my purse and brought out a hundred dollars note. I smiled in embarrassment and handed it over to him which he took and then shook his head muttering in English about dumb tourist which he probably took me for.I should not have bothered, I thought as I slammed the door behind him to express my annoyance at his use of swear words on me.It did not matter anyways, I wasn’t going to be here for long and I would not have to put up with such disgusting behavior but I was tempted to report him to the hotel.I wondered if the stranger was a guest in the hotel like I was but it was highly un

    SIXDANTEHow could I not have recognized the face that I had been staring into these past weeks. The Rodrigues family was at the top of my revenge list for the death of my brother, Alexander.He was a fool of course but it was my job as the successor of our clan to make sure that his death was avenged and although it had been quite hard to find a weak spot with the Rodrigues brothers, their sister on the other hand was a loose cannon.I had had people watch her movement in New York and it was reported that she partied a lot and was known with such ill reputation that the men feared whatever she had to say to them. All the makings of a spoilt brat who had never had to work for anything in her entire life.The clan had decided that I was to move to New York and begin my moves on the girl and so you can imagine my surprise at her presence in Italy. She was so far away from and blissfully unaware of the things I had planned for her.I had to admit that the pictures did absolutely no just

    SEVENDIANAThe man was a talker and soon and I was telling him everything about me. Not my family name or anything, just my feelings about being cooped up by them and he listened with rapt attention while I narrated how I wanted so many things for myself that wasn’t attached to my family.He was not only a good listener but a damn attractive man and I could feel the pull to him, the one I had felt earlier when we collided against one another. I was tempted to want to run my palm along the lines of his face and through his sleek hair.“You sound like you are seeking adventure” He finally said after my family speech“I guess I am but not exactly adventure… just something more”I was trying and failing at pinpointing why exactly I was in Italy and even if I was trying to tell myself it was to discover who I was outside my family, I knew I was not there yet but when Dante had called my feelings and talks a way of me wanting to seek adventure, I finally understood.“We should eat” He said

    EIGHTDANTE“You did a great Job, Luca” I told him after the not so dramatic exit of Diana“I shall ask again if I need to be aware of the reason you want to be the foreigner’s knight in shiny armor”“I do not want to be her anything but unfortunately, she is important to me and I want you to keep an eye out for me on her movements. Can you do that?”Luca nodded, he wasn’t one to always ask questions but I guess this was a situation that called for questions.I exited the restaurant and headed up to my cousin’s home. He was one of the few people still extremely loyal to my dead brother, Alexander and he wanted the Rodrigues’ to pay as much as I wanted them. I wasn’t blind to the fact that Alejandro did not consider me a leader yet and the chance to prove myself was making sure I brought down the Rodrigues family.I did not care for his approval but I wanted his loyalty; if I was to take over the dealings of my family, I needed loyal men by my side and this was the way to prove my loya

    NINEDIANAIt is barely 24 hours since my arrival in Italy and I have met someone. I do not know what he means to me but I really have to say that I find him extremely attractive and I feel like he knows me and the turmoil that I am passing through. I know that this is not the time to be finding someone and it is the time to find myself but who says I cannot do both?I am here in bed excited about my prospects in this new city and for once I feel free, like I am looking forward to something that should be challenging.I am not sure of what I want to do in this city and I don’t think I would ever be but we just have to wait and see, don’t we?I also visited a restaurant and met one of the most arrogant man I had ever laid my eyes upon. You would think that as stunning as he was, he would have a good character to go with it but that I tell you that that is not true but I will have to admit that he has beautiful restaurant space and it is somewhere I would like to spend my days, serving

    TENDIANAI admit that being a waitress wasn’t all I thought it would be and not even my excitement could stop the tiredness from sipping through my bones as I hopped from table to table, taking orders. It was wonderful that I did not have to struggle with some of the Italian dishes that were ordered and although I hardly understood what they were about, I had a very retentive memory and it served me really well.It was time for my lunch break as Luca called it and I was allowed to watch other waitresses do the job. I was pretty sure I did great judging from the look of Luca’s face“You can admit it, you know” I said to him as I sat beside him with bacon in my hand.“Admit what?” He asked meHis eyes were twinkling which meant he knew exactly what I was talking about“That I make a great waitress” I said, smiling at him“The deal was for you to survive for a week and not before. If you are still here after one week then I will admit that you make a great waitress” he repliedI laughed

    ELEVENDANTEI watched her smile at the man trying so hard to get his fingers up her skirt as she placed the drink in front of him. She was trying too hard to be what she wasn’t and it was pissing me the fuck off that I had to sit here and watch her get pawed.I had to have a talk with Luca over his reason for allowing her work in his restaurant. This was hardly the place for me to exact my revenge on her and her family for my brother and I was running out of time.The council was aware of her arrival to Italy and although they had decided to let me handle the girl, they were watching and would soon get involved if I did not do something immediately.As much as I was very much their leader, I still had to prove that I wasn’t just the bastard that my father had sent away with the white woman he had mistakenly gotten pregnant. I had to prove I had the Russo blood running through my veins by adequately executing the revenge plan but at the same time I wanted to savor the feeling.I wante

    TWELVEDIANAHe had his fingers in my hair touching ever so lightly that for a moment, I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be here with himSomething incredibly dangerous flicked through me as he said those words. Dante was absolutely dangerous and bad for my health but I wanted him with such raw intensity and what was a little bit of fun if he wanted to have it.I remained where I was, staring at me with the desire evident in my eyes. I was an adult and quite free to do whatever I wanted with whomever I wanted including a hulk with a ponytail like Dante and I actually was dying to run my fingers through that hair.He murmured and then crashed his lips unto mine with my eyes closing of their own volition. I moaned and threw my hands around his neck, touching the nape where his hair began; it was as soft as I had imagined.He tasted like wine mixed with something really spicy that reminded me that I was in the bathroom making out with a man I hardly knew.It was fun and it wouldn’t hurt

    CAMILLAIt was useless feeling sorry for myself, I thought.The lighting in the club was low as I stepped in with my friend, Bella.“Not bad” I murmured.“Told you” She responded triumphantly. “This is what you need to get over him. Nathan Clark is an asshole and should dump him in the dust where he belongs”I wanted to correct her that he wasn’t an asshole, he was merely disturbed but I did not.I was not here to sympathize with him or even think about him. I was here to have fun and that is what I am going to do.I was putting on a red dress and it complimented my eyes way more than I thought it would.“Come on, we should get a drink” Bella pulled me to the bar.The bartender winked at both of us and then asked what we would likeIt was at the tip of my tongue to say nothing but I was at a club, wasn’t I?“Sex on the beach” I announced.Bella turned to me, surprise in her eyes. I was pretty sure she thought she would have to force me to drink.“I would have the same” She told the ma

    NATHANThere was nothing to say as I dropped Camilla off at her home.I waited until I was sure she had gotten in before I headed in the direction of my mother in law’s house.I pushed in Christian’s number, my teeth gritting as it rang.I was furious.I did not want to admit I was more furious at myself than anything.“How did your date go?” Christian’s asked as soon as the phone line clicked.“Send me the name of the witness” I grunted.“What is wrong?”“Send the name, dammit”“You need to calm down, Nathan. Where are you going?”“To settle this once and for all” I told him. “Now send the damned number to me”I hung up before he had the chance to say anything or convince me to back away because I would not.I drove way above the speed limit, stopping only when I had gotten to the mansion’s gate.It brought back memories of family dinners where I had to defend Eleanor over and over again. Where snide remarks about the reason I was with her reached my ears and she said nothing about

    CAMILLA“I did not think I was ever going to see you again, Camilla” Sarah smiled as soon as I entered the restaurant.She wagged a finger in Nathan’s direction, shaking her head at him.“With the kind of food you sell? I will be coming in here for a very long time” I smiled back.Nathan and I took our seats and waited.She had a queue as usual and I could not help the smile as I glanced around.“You would have watched your father kill me” Nathan commented.“I admit that would have made me feel better for a bit” I told him.He appeared shocked but I could tell from the way his eyes twinkled with delight that he thought it hilarious.I had not expected he would go over to my parent’s house especially seeing as I wasn’t there in the first place.My father however had called me when he arrived with a gun to his head and asked if I wanted to see him. I had hesitated just for the fun of it“I deserved that”“Yes you did” I agreed.“Thank you for coming here with me”I nodded once.Sarah dr

    NATHANI was pacing like a fucking clown.I was expecting Camilla at the office today to discuss the project that we were involved in together and I could not help the restlessness coursing through my body.I wasn’t one to be this nervous about anything.“Deep breaths” I told myself, trying to go along with my instructions but to no avail.So much so that when my receptionist announced her presence, I had worked myself into a frenzy.My breath caught in my throat as she walked in, her eyes taking the room before settling on me with stark clarity.What had I been thinking? I thought.Starved of attention?Who was the blithering idiot now?“You look well” She commented, taking the seat in front of me.“You look beautiful” I murmured.She paused, her eyes meeting mine.Sparks flew, that was for sure.“How do you feel?” She asked instead.“Much better. Thank you for attending to me yesterday. For even accepting the phone call from me”“Of course, I am not a demon even though I do hate you

    CAMILLAI stared at my ringing phone with Nathan displayed boldly as the callers ID.What the fuck did he want?I however put it to my ear, my heart jumping at the sound of his voice“Camilla, I know you can hear me” He rasped“What do you want?” I asked.“To talk” He answered.His voice appeared tortured… like there was something wrong with him and for a minute I was concerned before my head overrode my stupidity.“Concerning the project-” I began“Not concerning the-” He sighed, his voice trailing off.“I need you” He muttered softly that if I had not been paying attention, I would have missed that simple statement.“Mr Clark” I stopped when I heard his labored breathing.“Is something wrong with you?”“No, its nothing… I just need to speak with you”“Nathan, what is the matter? You sound distressed”He chuckled and then I heard him cough in the background“You are not concerned about me now, are you?”“This is not a joke, what is wrong with you?” I asked again, feeling panicky.He

I did not want to think of anything, I did not want to begin to analyze the anger in my heart directed at one person in particular.When I finally opened my eyes, it was noon.I made my way downstairs and was met with the searching eyes of both my parents.“Are you okay, baby?” My mother asked.I took a seat beside them.“I am not some fragile child you have to be worried about always, mother” I said.“You are my child and I have every reason to be worried about you” she countered.“I am going to be fine” I told her.My father said nothing but I turned to him anyways.“I have d

    NATHANI felt like an absolutely horrible beast or maybe that was what I wasStarved of attention?If there was anything, I would admit that I have been the one acting like a starved and crazed person anytime she was near.I had only said that to infuriate Rodrigues, her father more than he already was.I did not stop to think that she might be listening in or it was the worst thing to say about a girl I have come to like.I winced, rolling my tongue in my mouth as the pain from being punched in the face kicked in.Williams walked into the open room with surprise on his face.”What happened?” He asked immediately.“It is over” I told him, my voice unbelievably calm.“What have you done, Clark”I whirled at him with anger in my eyes“What makes you think I am the one at fault? You are the reason everything has gone to fucking shit” I barraged him. “What did you think was going to happen when you decided to invite Rodrigues and I?”I took a deep breath envisioning Camilla’s disapproving

    CAMILLA“We really need to talk” I heard Nathan whisper from behind me.“I have nothing to speak to you about. Are you ready?” I asked him.“I am but-”“Then we should leave to the bar”I turned to look him over, angry at the flutter in my chest and the way my whole being appreciated his looks.He had jeans on and I never thought anyone would look absolutely stunning in them and there was the shirt he was wearing which was rolled up to his elbows, giving free view of his tattoos.I stilled my panicked heart, turning back around and taking a step before he stopped me with a hand on my arm.“I want to apologize for the things I did earlier. It was mean of me to try to take away the seriousness of your feelings and I am sorry. I should be a better person than that” He had a contrite look on his face as he said this.“I am not mad at you, Nathan” I lowered my voice. “I just feel I am more invested in this business than you are and I need you to be professional and take it seriously”He no

    CAMILLAWhat had I been expecting?A profession of love?I knew the sort of person Nathan was… a hard man and I had thought maybe I would be able to get through to him and why?Because I found him intriguing? Because I loved his view on life or is it because I wanted to do all I could to get out of my father’s shadow.No, that is wrong.Nathan Clark might have been my ticket out but I had come to understand and admire him as an individual.He was a fighter that much was obvious but he was also an asshole.I locked the adjoining door as soon as he left, leaning against it with the tears stinging the corner of my eyes.Another knock“Camilla” My father’s voice came through.“Give me a minute” I called out.I stared at myself in the mirror, running my fingers through my hair.When I opened the door, my father knew immediately that something was wrong.“Are you okay?” He asked“I am fine” I responded. “I was just sleeping” I added so he did not ask any more questions.“I know we should ta
