"Thanks alot". Leniela said to Cesare's men who had just dropped her and sent her bag inside the house. They nodded with a slight bow before going inside the car. She held the door knob and pushed it open stepping inside the familiar house which she hadn't slept in for almost a month now. Her eyes wandered around and she found everything intact except that the furniture was a little dusty. Locking the door, she slowly made her way to the room, turned on the switch and drew her purse on the bed. The next thing that she desperately needed was a bathe. Stripping off her clothes, she made her way to the bathroom and filled in the bathtub before sinking into it. As the warm water made contact with her pale skin, she felt her tensed body relaxing, touching the depths of her soul. Resting her head on the… in a relaxing marner, her mind went back to the events of the day. If not for the smaller tub she was inside and the words of the maids when she just entered the mansion which kept on
"I too have the right to some vacation children. Why aren't you guys happy?". Alfredo questioned with a slight frown. They were standing infront of the door, Alfredo's things have been sent inside the car and he was the only one being held by Savina. It's been twenty four hours since Cesare's ordainment, the news where on every one's lips and as the rule states the former Don is suppose to take a vacation which is what Alfredo had annouced yesterday nigt during dinner. The news shocked everyone including Cesare who was expecting it but not tjis soon. "You can't leave us now Uncle Alfredo, not with everything happening rigt now". Savina clunched tighter on his black expensive suit wriggling it in tge process. "You speak as if I'm going to die Savi. Don't worry like I said everything will be alright". Alfredo replied. Savina was kind of getting bored getting the same replied from him since Leniela left the house. "You had this all mapped out didn't you Dad?". Cesare spoke for th
After the girls had breakfast, Emma kept her friend company and insisted on slerping over. She suggested they watch a movie together which Leniela aggreed to. "Do you hear something?". Leniela asked suddenly. They were sitted on the couch eith folded legs alongside buckets of popcorn. Emma paused to listen for a second but gave a shrugg and continue munching her popcorn. "I think there's someone on the door". Leniela said and Emma picked up the remote and pressed the pause botton. Knock knock knock!". This time Emma heard it. She glanced at Leniela. "Could it be your mom?" she asked. "I don't think so. She's suppose to come tomorrow. Let me check it out". Leniela rose up and proceeded to the door. "Be careful Lenie it might be thieves?". Emma causioned fearful as she went slowly behind her like a shield making Leniela chuckled. Peeping from the small hole on the door, she sensed no danger so she clicked the door open to see two men in black suites. The faces were familiar.
It's been two days already since Leniela rejected Cesare's gift. Leniela especially had already packed her bags while Emma had made a list of activities they would carry out to make their stay adventurous. Once her Amalia arrives and sge spends a day or teo with her, she would be setting off to Siena. "It's all done". Leniela said as she finished packaging the cake before handing it to the not so tall woman with black hair. The woman smiled and reached to take the box from her but Leniela's hands still had a strong hold on it. "Please allow me to carry the cake for you". She pouted and the lady chuckled. "I already told you you don't have to be sorry for what happened. It's my fault for not telling you guys earlier that the party had been postponed. That's why I'm paying for the damages". She softly informed and Leniela reluctantly led go of the box. "Still I'm sorry for ruining the cake Mrs Penson". She apologised inwardly cursing at the reckless driver who had been the root c
Leniela sluggishly pulled the door and walked in. Two pairs of eyes clashed with hers. One looked calm and the other really anxious, especially now that she had arrived. "For a moment I was going to check on you. Did you see what you were looking for?". Aldo asked as he took a glass of water. For a moment she was blank then sge recalled. It was a good thing he didn't go to her house. She waa sure Emma had a hand in stopping him. Oh, this friend of hers!. "Yeah..". She replied softly, taking the seat behind the cabinet to continue what she had been doing . Emma, who couldn't hold her curiosity any longer, excused herself and joined Leniela. "What happened girl? Did he do something to you?". She whispered looking directly into her eyes. Leniela wiggled her head slowly. "It's not safe talking about it now Emma". She whispered back and Emma threw a glance at Aldo who was not using his phone. "But Lenie, I'm dying of sus… "I'm back my lovely children!". A feminine voice filled w
"Great, right?". He asked with a little doubt. There wasn't enough light at this area besides but he was sure of the face. He couldn't be mistaken about this particular one. "I'm glad you still remember me". Greta smiled walking closer towards him to step two steps away. She was in a mid tight black sweetheart gown. This was the second time he was seeing her in very skimpy clothes. "What are you doing here?". He softly asked instead of replying to her. The party was only for intimate friends and relatives so what is her connection with the Penson's. "Leonardo and I have been friends even before he moved to England. I see nothing wrong with welcoming back an old friend besides, I am really surprised to see you here instead". She responded with a smirk. "We are friends with Mrs Penson. Didn't you see Leniela inside?". Greta shook her head. "I'll go look for her soon but in the meantime I think it was a blessing for us to meet each other here". She said, walking to the balcony befo
"Seriosely mom! You mean you were nominated for the upcoming competitive pastry award in Silesi?". Leniela from her seat."That's what I just said". Amalia replied unmoved. Picking up her phone from the table, she scrowled through it and handed it over to Leniela who was sitted beside her.Leniela viewed the email with widened eyes then rushed and gave her a tight embrass. "Congratulations mom!"."Congrats Boss". Aldo who was sitted on the opposite coach said and Amalia quietly nodded."You don't look happy mom, are you alright?". Leniela asked after noticing Amalia's coldness towards the good news which she had invited her and Aldo this morning to share.Amalia sighed." This was the news I received on my way back from Siena.I was excited at first but after some thoughts..I don't really know but I think this is a mistake or something. Don't you think it's weired that I got nominated?". She asked looking at the two.Leniela began giving it a thought. Her mom was right. This particular
Leniela wondered what was so urgent that Cesare couldn't wait to summon her the instant she entered the estate. Surprisingly Savina had been the one telling her to go immediately to avoid keeping him waiting. The men standing by the door quickly opened it upon seeing her and the messenger approached and Leniela walked in with a 'thank you'. It was the first time she'd entered his office and she couldn't deny how luxurious it looked. The marble floor, walls and the two opposite couches with a glass table at the center were all a mixture of black and red-typical of him. Her eyes moved from the light curtains on the glass window to the office desk which was a few meters away from where she stood and caught sight of him seated like a king. Without moving any further, she cleared her throat to get his attention but it looks like she already had it the moment she stepped in because he has been watching her silently. "You sent for me?" she politely asked. "Where you trying to tease my
