All Chapters of My Protector: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The trouble landed that evening, just before dinner. As soon as Julia Romano came home Gracia rushed to tell her about Eleni's activities in the kitchen. "When I told her to ask permission from the Don before using the kitchen," Gracias added," she insulted him, calling him stupid and irrational. She said she would do whatever she likes and he couldn't stop her." "She said what?" Julia barked. Eleni was in her room, thinking up a new recipe, when she heard Julia's angry voice coming from the sitting room. "Here is comes." She muttered. She tried to listen. She knew enough words to know that Julia was yelling about the incident in the kitchen. She tensed, knowing trouble was finally here. Minutes later, there was a knock at her door. Gracia stood in the hallway with her hands folded in front of her, and her expression mean. "Signora Romano would like to see you in the sitting room." She said with triumph. Of course she would. Eleni thought wearily. Julia was standing

The big change came that evening at dinner. It was just the four of them, Alora had gone out on a date. “I hear something big is happening at the company,” she told Eleni before heading out. “i know that’s all my uncle and cousin will be talking about at dinner. I risk dying of boredom if I stay, so no way am I staying. Good luck to you.” Eleni smiled weakly, wondering what the big thing was. Marco and Niccolo were talking about it when she came in. She kept her head down and tried to listen while pretending not to. “PRESCO is already losing clients.” Marco said sharply. “If this keeps up, others will follow.” “They won’t.” Niccolo said. “I’ve already sent people to inspect the warehouses again.” “And what exactly are they inspecting?” Julia snapped. “They’ve inspected it three times already and still nobody can explain why the products keep arriving damaged.” “Since they are not damaged before shipping.” Niccolo said, “Then the problem happens during transport.” “The qu

Eleni's PovI was dressed and ready for breakfast when I heard a firm knock. “Come in.” I said, knowing it was a maid with breakfast. I hoped it wasn’t Gracia. After the kitchen incident she had avoided me, but I could feel the hate coming out of her whenever we were in the same room. Niccolo entered the room. I was surprised to see him and felt my heartbeat increase, but I wasn’t sure if it was from fear or excitement. I hoped it was from the latter. “Good morning.” I said, feeling myself blush. “Morning. I can see you are dressed.” He said casually. “Yes. I was waiting for breakfast.” “Waiting? Why not come downstairs to eat?” My eyes widened. Was Nick asking me to eat at the breakfast table? He had ordered me to join them for dinner, I guessed it was to annoy his parents, now he was asking me to breakfast. But why? “You want me to eat breakfast with your family?” I asked, not believing my ears. His eyes softened a little and he nodded. “Why?” I asked before I co

At dinner the loss of Golden Palace was all they could talk about.“I don’t believe Davide would go as low as stabbing us in the back.” Julia said, “I thought he was too honorable for that.”“He is a Conti, they are all dishonorable bastards.” Niccolo said through clenched teeth.“I won’t accept this.” Marco fumed.“We can’t start a war over this. It’s too risky.” Julia said.“So we should fold our hands and do nothing?” Marco asked.“Why not let them screw themselves with the restaurant and find another?” Alora asked.“There is no other. That’s why we wanted that one.” Niccolo explained.“Why not make one.” Eleni said quietly. “Open a restaurant, get the chefs from Golden Palace to work for you and turn it into another Golden Palace.” Marco, Niccolo and Alora looked at her with admiration, while Julia frowned.“Quiet! This won’t be happening if it weren’t for you.” Julia snapped.“She has nothing to do with this mother.” Niccolo said firmly.“And her idea is good.” Marco added. Ele

“Mom please! This isn’t the time to bring your personal dislike out.” Niccolo said, slightly impatient. “This has nothing to do with my dislike. I have evidence. I spoke to Gracia. She said Jane gave your father the cake and also made him a cup of tea. Both were poisoned. And she didn’t call for help till Gracia came in-“ “But she gave CPR that saved his life. Why would she do that if-“ “She didn’t. Gracia did. Jane was just standing there watching your father die, till Gracia walked in and began giving him CPR.” “Is Gracia sure about what she is saying?” “Are you doubting her? Don’t tell me you will take the word of that snake over a trusted servant like Gracia?” “But why would Jane want to kill dad?” “Isn’t it obvious? She was sent to do so, obviously by one of our rivals. And you foolishly brought her into the family.” “Jane isn’t working for anyone. I’ve checked her out –“ “Not well enough.” Julia snapped. “Even if she isn’t working for anyone, she could have tri
