Love Rival

Chapter 8- A visit from uncle?

I was still in shock after what my father told me. I wasn't just shocked I was angry and hurt. I look down to examine the note one more time.

A.C

That's the initials for Alexandro Costello. Was Matteo also responsible for my moms death?

I don't know what to do! I know I am a responsible woman but.. how am I going to find out who killed my mother? I'm not the key to finding out! Bullshit lies.

I heard a knock on my door. I got up and opened it. Nathan was in front of my doorway smiling. "Hello Davina. Your father wants you downstairs he says you will be attending an dinner party with another family relative"

"Another family relative?" I said confused. My dad doesn't talk to any relatives. My dad is not a social person.

"Weird" I said walking out of my room. I walked down the marble staircase to see my dad standing next to this man.

I gave them a confused and weird look.

"Hello, you must Davina. What a charming girl you have, Isaiah" the man said to my dad. My dad rolled his eyes.

"Davina meet your uncle, your mother's brother, Alec Cubdel" My dad said rolling his eyes. Looks like my dad doesn't like him.

"Hello, nice to meet you" I said shaking his hand. A woman and a girl around my age walked in.

"Oh! Sorry I forgot to introduce you to my family! This is my wife Isabelle and my daughter Aria. You guys would make such good friends!" Alec said smiling at me.

I slowly nodded. "Yeah.."

"Anyways! Let's go out now!" My dad said calling his bodyguards to start the car.

We all walked out of the hotel and got in the cars. I got in one of the cars with Aria.

I opened my phone and texted Matteo.

Davina Genovese:
Hey handsome 💋

Matteo Costello:
Hey amour 😘 what's up?

Davina Genovese:
Well my uncle came to visit

Matteo Costello:
Is that a bad thing?

Davina Genovese:
No.. maybe.. uh I don't know.. They just look suspicious. My dad finally opened up and talked to me last night about my mother's death and he gave me a note that the murder wrote the night my mom died.

Matteo Costello:
Sounds awful, what did the note say? 

Davina Genovese:
*Sends attachment*

Matteo Costello:
You gotta be shitting me. Your next? I ain't gonna let the happen.

Davina Genovese:
I don't know! I don't want it happening to me too. The initials A.C is what caught me off guard..

Matteo Costello:
Does your father think those initials are my fathers? Don't tell me you believe him. My father is a good man and I guarantee you that is wasn't him.

Davina Genovese:
No! I don't think it's you!

Matteo Costello:
Just messing with you 😉 Have a good dinner amour ❤️

Davina Genovese:
Ofc your just messing with me. Thank you 😘 Ttyl

I sighed happily. I'm glad I found someone to talk to and open up too. Matteo is an amazing person.

I opened a picture of me and Matteo and someone interrupted my thoughts.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Aria said looking at the photo. I shut my phone off, and turned to look at her.

"N-no.. I uh.. don't know what we are.." I said nervously chuckling. I don't know, what are we? Are we a couple or friends with benefits?

"Oh, whoever he is, he's hot as hell" Aria said smirking.

I felt jealousy hit me like a wave. Why am I feeling this way?

We arrived at the restaurant, and we walked in.

"I reserved us a table!" Alec said walking to the reserved table.

"Me and my own family are going to have our own table" my dad said glaring at Alec.

"Come on Isaiah, don't be downer, let's eat and enjoy as a family!" Alec said pulling a chair for my dad.

"Family?" My dad laughed at the word family.

I raised an eyebrow. What's going on? Did they have family problems?

"Your not my family. Your shit and you come back like everything is okay? Piss off Alec" my dad said walking away from Alec.

Alec scoffed then laughed. "Your dad really is a downer. Davina, would you like to join us?" Alec offered me.

I looked at my dad then looked back at Alec. "I shouldn't leave my dad by his self. Sorry" I said kindly declining his offer. "But please enjoy with your family" I said walking away but he grabbed my wrist.

"Your dad never talks to you. Come sit with us! We would like to get to know you more! I haven't seen you since you were a baby!" He said not letting go of my wrist.

"No thanks.. sorry.. I'll like to enjoy with my family. Now, can you please let go? Your grip on my wrist kinda hurts" I said pulling his hand away.

"If you insist," Alec said smiling. Right when I walked away, I could of sworn I saw a gleam in his eye.  I just shrugged it off.

"Dad.. Uncle is weird.. like really weird" I said sitting down taking the menu.

"I know. Don't call him your uncle and what he says is lies. He's bullshit" my dad said taking a bite of his appetizer.

I nodded taking in everything he said. We ordered our food. 20 minutes later, our food came.

We then heard a shriek like a loud shriek and we turned to see who it was. It was Aria.

"What took you so long! Ugh, and this food looks dreadful!" Aria said shoving the plate of food to the waitress.

"What a snobby bitch" my dad muttered. I bite back a laugh and rolled my eyes at her.

"Poor waitress" I said and ate my food.

All I am going to say is this is going to be a long dinner and a long stay with them.
