Her Five Protectors

SEVEN

If anyone is interested in making a cover of this book. Please dm me..

Athena tries hard to not to freak out as the nurse approaches her with an injection. She just desperately wants to get out of there but she is stuck in this hospital room. Sneaking out with the risk of Vincenzo standing at the door outside with the doctor is not a bit easy.

After her tests, she is given some apple juice and the kind nurse turns the tv screen on. Athena stares at the screen with mild interest in her eyes just to keep up with the act. A complete hour goes by just like that.

The nurse is scribbling down notes on her notepad and sometimes watching the tv. As the nurse leaves the room telling her that she will be right back, Athena just knows that this is the right time. She jumps down from bed and slowly opens the door.

She peeks out and surprisingly Ariana's brother and doctor are nowhere to be seen. Seeing this is her only chance, she runs out. She only manages to make her way out of that floor by using the stairs. She is about to pass the elevator section when suddenly one of the elevator slid opens and there he is.

Vincenzo!

Athena's eyes widens in horror and Vincenzo looks at her with a small tilt of his head. She squeals in fear as he takes a step in her direction. She hurriedly runs back in the opposite direction. She pushes past the confused looking doctors and nurses and finally manages to make it to the exit.

The door was open but her feet pauses. There are guards standing outside and blocking the only exit. It was as if they were expecting that she would run.

"Good thing that you are already here, Ariana. I was about to get you so we can go home." There is a subtle hint of sarcasm in Vincenzo's words and he stands beside her trembling form.

"Get in the car now." Sulking a bit she bows her head and makes her way to the car that is already waiting at the entrance. She sits in the same seat and he enters in the driver seat.

Just as they reach back at the mansion, Athena wastes no time in jumping out. The atmosphere in the car was overwhelming. Vincenzo is too quiet and scary quiet.

"Tell our brothers to meet me in my study." He tells her. He presses his phone to his ear and leans back against the car watching her every move as she nervously scurries inside.

Vincenzo said few words on the phone and then he hangs up the call. Then, he picks up Athena's medical reports. He settles her DNA report on top of others and heads inside.

Athena makes her way to the kitchen first and surprisingly finds Luciano there. He is drinking coffee and working on his laptop. He looks up at her and smiles a little.

He still does not know if the girl standing in front of him is actually his little sister or not. But deep down he hopes that she is Ariana. The girl always just seems so confused and scared. It does something to him. He feels the need to get protective over her.

"Umm-" She looks up at him. Her lack of speech makes Luciano feel a little too much concern.

"What happened?" He asks her.

"V-vincenzo." She points upstairs with her fingers. Luciano furrows his brows.

"Vincenzo what?" Luciano understands that she is referring to his office. Obviously his older brother must be calling them upstairs. But he wants to hear it from her mouth.

"S-study." She whispers.

She struggles with the words. This matter is concerning.

Luciano nods his head with a small smile. Athena sighs a little thankful that Luciano understood.
