"Kelly, is everything okay with you?" Marco sounded a bit surprised that I had called him while he was still away in Italy.

There was a lot of noise in his background.

"Yes, I'm fine," I replied while turning down the TV. "I was worried about you. I heard on the news that the Italian president was murdered."

"He was." He said nonchalantly. "I'm good, Bella."

That was all he said and changed the subject.

"What are you doing now?" His tone sounded sincere.

"I'm watching TV over at Aunt Macy's place."

There was a long pause. "Bella, I don't want you to leave the house when I'm not there." I could hear a bit of anger in his tone.

"Why, Marco?" I demanded. "I don't understand. I came to visit my aunt because it's been a while since I've seen her. Lorenzo took me here."

I could hear him take a deep sigh before he responded to me. "I want you to be safe at all times." He said.

"I know that you do, Marco. Does someone want to hurt me because of you? Is my life in danger and why is it that you have Lorenzo and Ricardo following me around?" I asked as Loren walked into the living room.

Loren was short, dark-skinned with big boobs and a full-figured body while Aunt Macy was tall and light-skinned with a slim thick figure.

"Bella, I will not talk about this over the phone. When I get back, we'll talk." He said firmly.

"Okay, promise?" I asked.

"Yes, Kelly, I promise you." He assured me. "Listen, Bella, I have a few things to take care of. Can I call you back later?"

"Oh, sure, you can. Bye, now."

"I'm thinking about you, Bella." He said in a low tone and then the call was disconnected.

"Kelly, where's mom?" Loren asked.

"She's upstairs," I responded. "It's been a while since I've seen you."

"Yeah, I was wondering why you hadn't come and visit us." She said as she plopped down on the couch.

"I've been so busy. I hardly have much time these days." I told her.

She looked contemptibly at me. "Oh, you're so busy taking off your clothes for money. You don't have time for your family anymore. I saw you at the club last night." She spat at me.

"Excuse me." I glared at her. "I'm doing what I gotta do to survive and pay for my college tuition." I snapped at her.

"That's what you call it, huh?" She asked with a scornful expression on her. "Uncle Keith would've been so disappointed in you. I'm wondering what Mom is going to say when I tell her." She shook her head.

"Oh, shut the fuck up, Loren! You can go and tell Aunt Macy because I really don't care. You've always had everything handed down to you! Don't you dear judge me and don't mention my father's name! You don't know what I've been through!" I yelled at her.

"Kelly, if you needed money, you could've asked mom. She would've given it to you." She said calmly. "I know what it's like to have nothing."

"You don't know shit!" I shouted at her. "All you know is how to be rude and mean to people." I spat at her as I got up off the couch and took up my purse.

I was leaving. She just spoiled my entire day. I've never been mean to anyone and I've always tried not to hurt people's feelings.

I heard Aunt Macy yelling my name as I went to open the door.
