chapter Eight

She switched with Annie to relieve her tension because of her attempt to control her nerves in front of Marcus and his guests so as not to lose the truce between them, so she headed towards the other table, drawing her usual smile with professionalism that greeted the customers

Tobia: Good evening, I hope you enjoy your night with us

Philip noticed that she did not remember him, which annoyed him a bit, as it was difficult to forget, especially for the fairer sex

Flip: How are you, Tobia, I hope it doesn't bother you that Marcus is here tonight

She drooped between her eyebrows, not understanding: And it didn't bother me?!

Flip turned his lips: Perhaps because of what happened between you

Tobia: What do you know about us?! and from where ?!

Philip: Because I consider you your sister's brother-in-law Vera and I know a lot about you, don't you remember me?!

Tobia frowned: Ah, I apologize, but no, I don't remember you. She took her notebook out of her pants pocket and got ready to take their requests, ending his blatant interference in her affairs without her interference.

Embarrassed by Flip, he ignored her: I'll order red wine

Charlotte felt the embarrassment of her son, but she does not blame Tobia, it seems that she is an independent girl who does not depend on anyone, so she chose to apologize to her

Charlotte with a calm smile: I apologize for what Philip said.

How happy she is with the word “brother” uttered by the kind lady.. That was another wish that was not fulfilled. How she wished she had a brother to support her

Tobia: I apologise, sir, but surely you know who Marcos Bennini is and how difficult it is to deal with him, which made me treat you with impoliteness.

Philip: You don't have to, as my mother said, I wanted to help

Tobia, her eyes sparkling like a naughty cat: Your mother?!! If you are the mother-in-law of Vera

Charlotte: I'm almost the wife of her father-in-law, Frank's mother passed away, and I raised him, so yes

Tobias with sincere appreciation: So she is fortunate to have you, madam.

Interrupted her: Flip, my name is Flip, not Mr

Tobia: Well Flip will be a good brother and you will have a more than wonderful mother

Charlotte: You are so sweet, my daughter

Tobias cheerfully: Now, what is your request, madam?

**************

He was teased by what that little girl said despite being the first so he decided to play with her a little bit but not now

Marcus remembers something he wanted to tell Stefan

Marcus: Uh... I forgot to tell you, your mother will come back from Rome tomorrow, and she will also attend the wedding, accompanied by your cousin Nina.

Stefan coldly: Ok

He turned his eyes around the place, as she had not returned since she had received them........ He soon saw her talking to a young man who was sitting close to them, and he was angered by the feeling of comfort that appeared on her features when she was talking to everyone but him.

******************

The night finally ended, including Marcus' harassment, and he ignored Stefan, which comforted her greatly and was happy to meet Philip and his mother, but she knew that Marcus' harassment would not end, so he promised her to come every night for dinner in the restaurant with his eagerness to receive special treatment from him, which terrified her.

**************

As soon as he brought his mother home, he headed towards the usual nightclub, where he would meet his brother there... The opposite is what happened and she became more attached to him, which made him think that she was planning something and it wouldn't be long until he found out.

Frank: Hey Flip, why are you late?!

Philip: I took my mother to dinner, and when I finished, I came here

Frank: Did I convince her to attend my wedding, or would she refuse as I refused to attend the dating dinner between the two families?

Philip: Of course she will attend. She refused the dinner, because the chance of confronting your father would be great, so she preferred to stay away. As for the wedding, she can easily avoid meeting him among the invitees.

Frank sighed: I don't really understand. If she loved him, why would she refuse to go back to him and make it easier for herself and us?!

Philip: You know that she refuses his work, and since she found out about it, she decided to separate

Lillinan nervously: Who would refuse Fabio Giovanni and be in her right mind?

He gave her a murderous look that I shut her up, how similar their eyes are to her sharp looks

Flip warning: Beware, Lillian. What you say in your mouth may easily break it, my dear.

Lillian trying to justify her saying: I didn't mean what I meant...

Frank shut her up by holding her arm tightly and wrapping it behind her back, causing her to scream in pain

Frank: You don't have to mean anything from yourself to talk about my mom like that?! Forget yourself Lilian

Lillian apologetic: I'm really sorry

He left her hand in disgust without looking at her, as he does not accept anyone interfering in matters concerning him and his brother, especially Charlotte, whom he considers his mother.

As soon as that leech moved away, Philip asked: Why are you still in a relationship with her?

Frank, and I did not break off my relationship with her or anyone else. I will marry and not die

Flip: So it's just a deal

Frank: Yes

Philip: But that doesn't mean she's really beautiful

Frank careless: Like everyone else, they are all women

Philip maliciously: Yes, but that did not prevent your jealousy when Laura mentioned that she was the candidate for Stefan's engagement

Frank, and his jaw hardened, indicating his anger at Philip's mention of the matter: It is not jealousy, but I do not like to attribute what is mine to others, even if it is verbally

He knows that his brother's heart is money for his fiancée, but he will not confess easily.

*******************

They came out of the restaurant after the end of their work, under the eyes of eyes watching silently, waiting for the right moment to pounce on its prey.

He muttered hissingly: Get out of my fist, little one, this time

As soon as they reached their house, Tobias phone rang, announcing the arrival of a message that she knew from her source.

Tobia, opening the apartment door: Don't wait for me, I may be gone for tomorrow or more. Hello, she finished her sentence closing the door behind her without waiting for a response from her friend

***************

He called his boss to tell him what happened from yesterday to today

If you don't know where was she yesterday?

No sir, when you ordered me to watch her, she was already gone and didn't show up until today

Where is she now

She just came back to her apartment

Well, keep watching it until I tell you otherwise

Well, sir..... He cut short his speech when he saw her coming out of the outer door of the apartment complex in which she resides, in order to escape. Hello I'm out again sir

Follow her and don't let her out of your sight

Yes sir

He finished his talk and sold her with his car until she reached a hotel and went to one of the floors, but he could not know where she went.

As soon as she arrived, one of the guards rushed to tell her what had happened

Ma'am, I apologise, but you know, when he gets so frantic, neither of us dares to go towards him

Tobia: I know where he is

He arrived because it was smashing sounds that she didn't know where he was, so she went inside and closed the door behind her to find the room in a bad condition. He broke most of the furniture and glass in the room and still smashed the shelves on the bottle hanging on the wall, using a man one of the chairs he broke, so she headed towards him and wrapped his arms around his back trying to calm him down, but he was in a state of agitation He made him shake his arms so that she falls to the ground and inserts a piece of glass in the palm of her hand to scream.

She pushed herself and made the same move as before, hoping it would work this time

You know that she will suffer excruciating pain in the morning from what you will find from him tonight
