•|Their Joy|•

34.

The book, so far, has no clue. It was just a random crime book. I thought it may be useful or something but guess, I was wrong. Anyways, I continued this book cause it was interesting.

Half an hour later, I was done reading the entire book. The thing which was weird on the last page was the handwriting. It wasn't printed. There were two lines on the last page.

And since I don't know what language it is, I'm assuming it is love poetry.

Wild guess.

I grabbed a random mobile phone that I saw on the dining table when went to search for Antonio. I opened the phone, which surprisingly had no lock. I clicked pictures of the lines from google camera and waited for it to translate.

(Paragraph about who the mole is)

Someone from the family is working for Sergio.

Someone very close.

"Does that means that it is someone from the house?" I gasped. I quickly gathered all clues, letters, and stories I came across and sat on the floor. My eyes went through all of them.

I sat here for an hour, but nothing was making any sense, except for the fact, that someone from our family is giving information about us to Sergio. That's why he can send those letters despite high security around the house.

And that damn finger too. That's why Leonardo and everybody else get tensed whenever there is any letter from Sergio.

Two days back, I heard Leonardo and Matteo talking in the office about multiple letters Sergio sent them and how all of them contained a part of the body. Some of them are threats towards me or related to me.

Main character energy.

Scolding myself for joking at this moment, I shuffled closer to the settee in the corner of the library and stared past the window adjacent to it.

After a few minutes, I sat back around the hints. "Why am I even doing this? I could leave this all alone and sleep the fuck out of my body just how Antonio wants me to."

Grumbling, I went towards the kitchen in search of Mia. Just before, I could round around the kitchen to enter. I heard, "I told you it's very risky. The medicines I'm giving her are very dangerous she might go into a coma because of it."

I paused and let out a muted gasp.  Mia continued, "Oh goodness gracious, I know that you have inquired them all but I don't want her to die because of me. Whatever we are doing is not the way. and if he got to know about it we might be killed-"

I stepped back and might have pushed a showpiece off its place. It clatters on the ground, which cautioned Mia."Oh- Oh my God, I think someone is here." Her panic-filled voice become small, as I ran back to the library and closed the door shut. Holding my back to it, I inhaled. "Oh my flower, I think the 'she' about whom she is talking is me. oh nononono, am i gonna die?"

"I should probably tell Leonardo about this. Yes." Saying that I ran at full pace to the other corner of the corridor and ran towards Leonardo's office upstairs.

Abruptly I paused when I felt dizziness encircling me, I took hold of the wall beside me. "Are they because of of-of the pills?"

I slid down the wall and put my head on my knees. Massaging my head, I stood up and walked towards Leonardo's office. He must have returned from work as it's already past 5.

He told me he would come early since I'm not feeling well and also because the boys have some kind of function at school so they will be late. Matteo is going to cover for him, for which he left a few hours ago. While Antonio would watch over me in the meantime.

Wait, Antonio! Yes, he must be around here somewhere, or did he leave thinking Leonardo may arrive soon?

I should ask someone. Wait, no one is in the mansion besides Mia. Three days back, all of my family members, besides my brothers, left for Russia. Leonardo didn't want them to be in danger because of us. They were reluctant but agreed when Antonio convinced them. What if she killed me in their absence? Why would she do that? she was so sweet and nice. It should have been Aunt Kathy instead, so I could at least believe and hate her.

I had so much trust in mia. I should probably go towards Leonardo's office. If not Leonardo, maybe Antonio is waiting for him in there.

Having hope in that, I quickly raced towards Leonardo's office when suddenly, out of nowhere, mia popped in front of me. I staggered, "m-mia"

She tried to grab my arm with a panicked look when I spoke, "mia, h-hey? I was just-just looking for you?"

At this point, I was ready to shed some tears. I jerked when she grabbed my arm but suddenly her eyes widened as she looked at something or someone at my back.

I spun back to look when a metal rod hit my head.

"NO!" Mia hollered, and just as my surroundings turned black, I saw the person who hit me.

Antonio.
