Sparkles : Shine (Book #3) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 25

"I hate you all" Gabby's scream makes Richard pause before he eyes from the door to his brothers with a brow raised.

"Did I miss something?" he asks joining them.

"Just Gabby expressing her hate to us" Rustic sighs as he grabs his bag.

"Are you making her work today as well?" Richard asks.

"Your wedding party is not some national holiday, Rich. And the party is after seven, she has enough time to wrap few things up before she joins you all"

"But the girls planned spa day and..." Richard stops as Ricardo eyes him.

"Why don't you worry about your wife while I do the same with mine?" he states.

"Okay, I am off" Ryman whistles as he walks past them all.

"Is everything okay between you and her? I don't want to interfere but it's not same with you two now, you know" Richard points and Ricardo closes the file he was going through.

"Did you talk with mom about you moving away?" Ricardo asks instead and Richard nods his head.

"Yeah, why do you think dad's is getting third degree"

"She let you go just like that?" Ricardo asks surprised.

"Perks of being the favorite, she cannot say no" he grins and Ricardo shakes his head as he pats on Richard's shoulder before walking away.

"Rick, everything okay, yeah?" Richard tries once and Ricardo nods before he walks away.

"Put that away" Richard warns Naomi who stands with her eyes narrowed.

"It will help your skin glow, sweets"

"I am not some fairy that needs to glow"

"Come on, it's the trend, couple things, I promise you will feel like your skin is finally breathing" she whines.

"You do all the pretty skin things Naomi, to your own skin, not mine"

"Richard, please, just a little, okay only for fifteen minutes"

"No means No, Naomi"

"But this will go to waste, I made for both of us"

"Give it to mom or maybe Lilac" he states and she sighs.

"You don't love me anymore, not even a week together and..."

"If the answer to every no of mine is that, then we will have problems, firecracker"

"But why do you even want to say no to me? Me, Naomi Storm"

"You are a Russo now" he reminds and she puts the bowl down.

"Why do you think I have not kicked you yet after you told me no? I don't support abuse in a relation that is the only reason you are alive sweets" she points.

"I am still not putting that thing on my face" he states as he walks out of the room and Naomi groans in annoyance.

"It glows skin?" Rustic asks as he stares at his masked face in the mirror.

"Yeah, now don't talk t will give you wrinkles" Naomi mumbles as she lies her head at the back of the couch with her feet on the table.

"I feel refreshed already" he hums following Naomi as he puts his legs on the table with his head resting on the back of the couch.

"If only I have a brother who would do this with me, Nathan just cries and screams when I even suggests" Naomi points out.
