The next day Amelia wakes me up. "Aria... Aria... Ari, wake up! Your father wants to speak to you. I think we're in trouble." She whisper yells that last sentence which wakes me up instantly.
In trouble? Could he have found out? After Amelia came back from the bathroom we immediately went home, there's no way he could've found out. Especially this quickly.
I get ready for the day, flatten my black pencil skirt and make my way upstairs to my father's office. I try to even my breathing, there is no way he knows. He must just want to talk about my new responsibilities that I will have when I have my twentieth birthday... in nine months.
I knock on his large office door and wait for him to call me in. As I do, the first thing I notice is a nicely dressed man facing his back to me and facing my father. He doesn't bother looking to see me, but only straightens his posture even more.
"You called for me father?"
The man stands, and I keep my head low in respect, in case it is a business man my father was working with, "Well I will give you two some privacy for a bit."
I hear the door shut behind me and my father sighs. "Ma fille, take a seat."
I sit down and my father suddenly looks very old. It's as if all of those years have suddenly caught up with him in one quick minute, "What's wrong père?"
"That man was Vincenzo Benardi," My blood freezes. Benardi? What was he doing here? "He seems to have caught an interest in you. Though I'm not sure how that's possible." I can hear the sarcasm and accusation in his tone.
"Papa I-" He lifts his hand silencing me.
"He was asked to provide protection if it's ever needed," Protection? From the Benardis? That would practically make us invincible. "But in return he wants you to stay with him."
Me? "What? Why me?"
He sighs and rubs his temples trying to grasp the concept himself, "Like I said he has grown a liking to you, and he wants to house you in Italy to be under his protection, to ensure us that we will always be a priority if needed."
"And to ensure that we won't overstep our boundaries."
"Yes, I believe so," In other words I'm just a pawn in their alliance. "Ma fille, this would be a huge turning point for us. We'd be untouchable with their help... but I can't force you, my only daughter, to leave. I can't lose you too."
"Papa we need this. I know you're not making me do this, but I am willing to go to Italy with him, for our family." I try to swallow my fear. I need to be strong and independent, they need my support and I'm willing to give it to them. I must be brave for this.
"Are you sure?" I nod my head and he smiles at me proudly. He phones one of his men to bring Vincenzo to come in in order to go over the deal. The doorknob moves and my heart pounds faster every second.
Who I assume is Vincenzo enters and I have to hold back my gasp. It's easier to take in his appearance now, without the neon lights and darkness surrounding us. His dark brown hair is combed back, and his suit is much nicer than before but it's obviously the same man from the night before, who sent me home from my night out. Of course, it would be him. Well, at least he's cute. Who am I kidding? He's not just cute he's perfection.
"Ciao piccolo." His smirk makes my knees weak. How can one man turn me into some boy- crazy school girl?
"Bonjour." I smile and bow my head in respect. He seems pleased by this and reaches his hand out to me.
"Are you ready to go fiore?" Wait now? I don't have any time to say goodbye? I look at my father wide eyed and he looks down solemnly.
"Of course, you will need to pack a small bag of essentials to last you until we are able to buy you more in the future. And your... cani will need time to pack as well," My what? "We'll leave in an hour."
With that he walks out, leaving me in silent shock. I talk with my father for a bit and he informs me that a few of our men are moving with me as well to ensure my safety. For that I am grateful, so I won't feel completely like an outcast.
I pack four formal dresses, two blouses, a pair of slacks, a pencil skirt, five pajama outfits, my toiletries, and a picture of my father, the Bisset family, and me smiling happily. I know he said to pack light and that he would provide me with new clothes, but I don't know how long that would be so hopefully this is enough.
When I get to the main room Nicolas, Amelia, their first cousin Joseph, and five more men are waiting with larger bags in hand. I hug Amelia and Nicolas, glad they will be with me on this journey. Vincenzo clears his throat to catch our attention, "Let's go."
I follow him out and everyone follows behind me. When we get outside a car is waiting for him, as two of our cars wait as well. "Are we going in different vehicles?"
"You, mio fiore, are coming with me. They are riding separately." Oh... I watch my friends, and my family get in their vehicles, and Vincenzo's hand gently pushes me towards his car. This is going to be a long ride.
Vincenzo's POV
"Fiore. Wake up principessa." She stirs in her seat pouting but refusing to wake up. I laugh. How can one girl be so beautiful and cute? "Bambina, wake up we're home."
Slowly her eyes flutter open and she looks dazed and confused informing me she's still half asleep. She pouts and makes grabby hands towards me, "Uppies." The one word is all it takes to make my heart skip a beat. Can she-? No, she couldn't be a little, could she? I smile and pick her up, and she wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. Luckily her family cars are still a bit behind, so they don't see me carrying her this way, so they can't claim her and try to take her out of my arms.
I was not pleased to see her embrace that Basset boy when she was leaving. I can't help but feel a possessive pull towards her, it's the dominant in me. Yes, I'm a dominant as in BDSM. More importantly I'm a daddy dominant which is Dd/Lg a form of BDSM. I'm a daddy dominant and I badly want Aria to become my little girl. In fact, now that I hold her in my arms, I plan on it.Be sure to vote and comment if you're liking it so far!
Have an amazing day loves!
