Bitten With Lies Book 1

Chapter 28

Caterina

I was in my thoughts until I heard steps coming towards me and turned to find Luca and Alex. "Rina" Luca said as he came closer "I thought you were sleeping, what are you doing out here?" he asked and just as I was about to answer we heard shouts from the room I was in just now making us all freeze.

"Well, that's not good" Alex said looking behind me towards the room just now making me wince "I hope I didn't cause trouble" I said and both the boys snapped their head at me waiting for me to answer "I was walking around, probably looking for the kitchen and stumbled into that room" I pointed towards it and I heard Alex smack his palm against his face.

"What happened?" Luca asked and I told him how I was in there looking at the pictures and Leon came in asking me who am I and what I was doing. I also included the part where a guy called James dragged me out of the room which is probably who is getting screamed at for allowing me in there.

"I'm so in trouble am I?" I whispered to Luca and he sighed shaking his head "Don't worry about it come-" but he was cut off by a lot of footsteps behind us. I turned to find a bunch of people walking in our direction making me jump back hitting Luca's chest.

"Okay" I heard Alex as he stepped in front of me and Luca "What's going on?" he asked to whoever it was in front of him and I peeked to see that guy from just now, James and a bunch of people behind him.

"Boss wants her" James said gesturing to me making me freeze on my spot and I felt Luca's hand on my waist as he tried to sooth me in some way before he pushed me behind him. "She didn't know it was his room, let me talk to him" Alex said as he made a move to go towards the room.

"You can go now" Alex said as he saw James and his friends were not moving away "Boss's order" James said as he reached for me but Luca stopped him "No, she's our guest, which makes it his guest" Luca said almost angrily while I felt a tremble go through my body. Did I make him mad? Does he want to kill me? Just for entering his room-.

My thoughts were cut off as James spoke again "Boss wants her to meet Gracelyn, we are ordered to bring her there and makes sure she corporates" James said making me frown. Who is Gracelyn?

"And for what reason?" Alex asked a step behind James "You'll have to ask boss that" was all he said as James reached forward again but I stepped back this time the same time Luca blocked him again "I'll follow" Luca said in a tone which gave no room for argument.

"Boys" another voice from across the corridor came and I turn to find Leon walking towards us and as soon he reached, James and the others gave him a small bow. He stepped closer towards me and Luca looked like he wanted to stop him but before he could "Don't worry boy, I'm not going to hurt her" Leon said stopping Luca from blocking me.

Leon stepped closer and I could clearly see the height difference between me and him. I mean Luca was tall like a bear but this man looked like the father of a bear, he was huge. "I need to make sure" he said looking at me up and down "And you're not leaving until I have my answer" he finished making me tremble a little wondering what is it he was talking about. 

"Dad, what's going on?" I heard Alex's voice from behind Leon but couldn't see him as Leon's whole figure was blocking almost everyone behind him. Leon turned around Alex "I need to confirm something son" he said and Luca stepped forward "And what is that" Luca asked.

Leon turned to look at me then back at the boys "Confirm something that will make entire sense why your father hid you away" he said with his eyes strained to me "Why he kept you a secret, why nearly not anyone has seen you nor your sister for years" he continued making me confused about what the hell he was saying.

"And also, why he wants you dead now" Leon finished and that sentence made me tense reminding me that my own father well not real father but the person who raised me is currently trying to kill me.

"And that is?" I found in myself to voice out my question but it came out softer than I intended. He didn't give away any reaction but all he did was "Follow James and I'll tell you after" he said towards me and I saw Luca tense up from where he was standing.
