Silence filled the space between us.He didn’t turn immediately."He betrayed me," Angelo said at last, without looking over his shoulder. The words dropped like a blade.That was it. No denial. No explanation. Just those three damning words.He turned his head slightly, just enough for me to see a bit of his expression, unreadable. Cold even."Milene, there are things in this world you don't understand," he said softly. "Things I do to keep people in line. To keep you safe.""Safe?" I spat, the word bitter on my tongue. "You think killing someone makes me feel safe?""It makes sure no one crosses me again. No one touches what’s mine."And there it was again. What’s mine.As if I were just another object in his collection. A trophy wife, bought and shelved."He was a traitor," he added, voice low, almost too calm. "That’s what happens to people like him I
Angelo POV “You know what comes next after the lord” I start laughing The man shivering in front of me “I really did deliver it...” “Why didn’t they see it” I roared “This is exactly what betrayal looks like” the fool keeps staring at me like loyalty alone can save him but loyalty without action or result is nothing “Enzo give me …” I say and immediately I was handed my gun “I swear, please I swear on my lif..” “Don’t bother to swear on your life” I cut him off. “You don’t have that anymore” he starts talking and blabbering, I think something about having a wife and family or something, it doesn’t matter. Bang. “Clean up this area” I said flatly and immediately, my men start cleaning the area, dragging the blood covered body out of the room, they are used to this already, they know where exactly to bury the bodies or burn if necessary “Enzo” I called, not turning to look, I didn’t need to. “I want a detailed report on how the gem got missing” ‘Yes boss’, he replied immediate
Milene’s POVDisappointed.. that is the word to describe my current situation. Pretending like I knew what was going on while trying to figure things out is one of the hardest stunts to pull.The rumbling of my tummy reminded me about breakfast. Mara had long left me, so I had to make my way to the dinning which was not hard to find. I met one of the workers setting the cutleries in the dining room.I made my way to one of the seats while she continued “Breakfast would be served shortly..” she said.After breakfast, I decided to clear my head. The walls of my room were starting to feel too tight, too close. I needed to move, breathe, think.Mara had reminded me of the meeting with Carlo. So I needed to go see him at the garden, but instead of heading there, I decided to just wander around the hallways, tryung to figure out the maze like building myself until I eventually got lost.At first, I thought I could find my way back easily. But every hallway looked identical with gold accents
Milene’s POVThe soft morning light filtered into my room, but I didn’t feel rested. I had barely slept too much on my mind, too many questions. What exactly had mum gotten us into or should I say me?A knock on the door jolted me out of bed. Before I could answer, Mara stepped in.“Mr. Moretti requests your presence downstairs,” she said. “He wants to introduce you to the staff.”Introduce me?I nodded silently and slipped into the clothes, she laid out a simple white blouse and tailored black slacks. It was modest but expensive. My hands traced the lines of the stitch and from it I felt out of place. I am supposed to be used to clothings like this but I had long abandoned them because of the debts. I could also so I wore more tailored clothes like this to tea parties than I did roaming around my father’s mansion.Mara led me through the hallways again, I followed her close and the sound of our steps echoed in the hallways.
