IT HAPPENED AGAIN

Ariana’s Pov~

“What is this disrespect, Don Mateo? Who are these people!” Don Argento, Silvio's father thundered, Silvio was furious.

he took out his gun and pointed it at Mateo, immediately six men from within the crowd sprang up fully armed pointing at everyone standing at the auction podium.

  “I'd like to know myself, I'm equally as perplexed and shocked my wife and I will not soon forget the events of the past 48hours” he exclaimed, pointing at the nurse’s head that landed close to the foot of the governor’s aide Hermon musette.

 I recognise him, he came to see my father as often as id have loved to see his long face, he wasn't a nice man either, 

“this one was supposed to care for my fiance Becky, but she thought it was a better idea to blow up my plane, where my pregnant wife also present” he looked at Silvio, whose gun was steadily aimed at his head.

“you have disrespected my house, you have called me and my father murderers, Mateo do you want to start another war?” he asked, my father was quiet, I could feel his glare piercing my eyes.

“You started this war when you trespassed on my land, this land belongs to the Donatelli house, and I would like to kindly ask that you all get the fuck out” he replied calmly pointing to the door, the men had started to murmur again but when Mateo shot his gun in the air they got up and started leaving. 

“This is not over Mateo,” Silvio said as he led his father out of the conference room, “we just touched the surface, we just got started, I'm right here for you Argento” I heard him say to Silvio.

My father followed closely behind, his arm around Mateo and I could hear them talking in low tones, we stopped beside the new Range Rover, which Julius had brought out from the garage.

“If it's okay with you son, I'd like a few words with Ariana” I heard my father say, just as Mateo was about to open the car door, I was angry, he put me through all this stress knowing fully well he already had it under control.

Matteo nodded in agreement, he sat me in the car and my father leaned over, he didn't smile but he looked visibly upset about something.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, I looked at him, confused, my father was acting strange, when did he start caring about my wellbeing?

I saw Mateo speaking with a short man who handed him a briefcase, and both of them shook hands, he glanced over at me and smiled.

“Ariana” my father called, I looked back at him, and he looked over at Mateo who had people cluttering around him.

 “I want you to keep tabs on Mateo for me, report any unusual meetings he has, since he takes you everywhere,” my father said, I was shocked to my bones by this request, me? A spy? Spy on my husband.

“I can't do it, papa, I'm sorry if Mateo finds out, he will have me killed, he is not forgiving, he is more like you than you realize” I replied, my father’s frown deepened.

 “listen to me you ungrateful wench, I am your father. I brought you into this world, I gave you all the luxury you could never afford in your pathetic life, your loyalties are first to me,” he said coldly and I was reminded afresh of why I hated him.

I was quiet and didn't move, I didn't want him to be angrier than he already was, I held the helm of my cold gown.

 “ and just as I brought you to this world I can take you out of it,” he said stiffly, i turned to Look at him, i never thought I'd hear those words from my father, his eyes were empty and everything I could see had been replaced with hate and rage, his eyes had never looked kindly at me.

It made me wonder who made my father this way.

My father Is a complete mystery, but his treacherous ways were not.

“How am I supposed to spy on him papa, his guards are always with him, we don't stay in the same room, and we are not exactly the happily married couple” I responded.

My father looked at him, “Are you still fucking?” my father asked bluntly, the shame of the topic washed through me, and I was quiet.

 “I don't have time for this girl, are you fucking” he asked again, “No papa, we are not a real couple” I replied.

He was quiet, “make him happy, you can be with Child and still use your pussy, it's not going to get broken,” he said, I listened as he went on about why I had to make Mateo happy.

“I was going to return her to you, she has been very displeasing of late” Mateo interjected, I watched his lips turn into a grin, my father raised his head from the car.

“It's a shame, I thought at least she would have inherited some traits from her mother, she was a good fuck” my father said, those words stung my heart, and fresh images of my mother flashed through my mind, I blinked the tears away and looked away from them.

“My wife has had a hell of a day, I'm sure she’s tired, aren't you baby doll” I heard Mateo say, I nodded but I did not look at my father.

“Well then, Ariana be well, I'll be off, I hope that you have a clear and better understanding” he retorted 

“Come, Mateo, there is something I must discuss with you, now that I have you here, the matter is very urgent” my father mentioned.

“Julius will take you back to the hotel, I will join you later” Mateo assured me, I nodded and sat still in the car, I watched him go with my father back into the castle.

Julius had not come yet, I was alone in the car, soon I started seeing someone walking towards me, he opened the driver side and stepped in.

 I heard the lock click, the man started the car, he didn't say anything, I looked at the outline of his back, he looked nothing like Julius.

His back looked strong, his hair was blond and tied in a ponytail, and he wore a face cap.

“Who are you? Where are you taking me” I exclaimed, he was quiet, he rolled up the connecting window and drove faster.

Have I been kidnapped again? I hit the glass as hard as I could, I was not going down this time without a fight, I picked my stiletto heel from the car floor and hit the glass.

 I hit it continuously until it shattered, and as it did I lunged at the driver, dragging the wheels with him, the car screeched on the highway and went sideways, I tried to hit the cap out of his face, 

“ARIANA STOP!” the driver finally said, he turned to me and I saw his face clearly.

“Silvio!” I exclaimed, “What the hell are you doing? Where are you taking me to!”

He nudged me back into the back seat and I settled back in to catch my breath.

“I'm taking you far away from that psychopath, I'm saving you, we will go to Madrid and get married there” he replied taking a left turn.

“I don't understand. I already married to Mateo” I retorted.

“I don't care, I will be your other husband, I will kill him and take his place”
