Millionaire's Unknown Daughter

Chapter 19

The day after everyone finding out what I'd been doing I was getting the silent treatment from almost everyone.

Nonna had slapped me upside my head this morning too, then hugged the life out of me for scaring her.

Micha hasn't spoken to me at all and I haven't seen him around the house either.

We spoke through text messages a few times and I told him  of my plans to move back. He asked us about Us and I asked if we could do long distance. He never replied leaving me heartbroken.

It soon became my routine at getting up extra early to eat and then hide away from everyone after.

Two days after the incident Xeres barges into my room and sits himself beside me on the bed.

"You okay squirt?" He asks me softly.

I just shake my head. "No. But I'll be fine like always."

"Do you really want to go back there?" He asks me sadly.

"No. I hate it there." I tell him truthfully. "But I'm scared Xeres, being here isn't safe and it's only a matter of time before I do something stupid again and get caught. At least in America no one cares who I am, I won't have to be on constant alert there either."

"I'm sorry Bella, sorry this happened to you. I got you this to help out so you can go back, and I want you to use it over there too. Rent yourself a nice little apartment and make sure you eat." He demands me firmly. "I'll be checking the money's spent on some groceries too so I know your eating. I want you to ring me everyday too, Bella. Promise me?"

I just nod at him. He hands me a black credit card with my name on it. I just stare dumbly at it in awe.

"Are you sure?" I ask him nervous.

"Positive squirt. Now let's go book your flight. I'm going to miss you  when you're gone, but we'll come visit you, and hopefully you'll come back one day too when it's less dangerous."

I nod and watch Xeres book my flight home with a heavy heart. Leaving here was going to be one of the hardest things I ever do and  I regretted it already.

He manages to book a flight for me tomorrow and I start packing all my things into a suitcase, leaving some clothes out to wear tomorrow.

I'm not sure if the others know I'm going, but no one other than Xeres visits me for the rest of the day.

I waste my time away on my laptop that Ivan bought for me and try my best not to cry anymore.

At 5.a.m. the next morning my alarm goes off waking me, and I get up groggily to get dressed and ready to go.

Once on dressed in jeans and a long sleeved top, I put my sneakers on and carry the rest of my bags down to the garage. No one's up when I make my way through the house; not even Xeres.

I'd gotten the boarding details from him last night, and I knew the way to the airport anyway.

Getting into the jeep, I look around one last time feeling like I was making a huge mistake.

Driving to the airport doesn't take me very long because there was hardly any traffic. I check in, and go wait in the lounge for my flight to be called.

I try to keep my mind off everything but it doesn't work. How come no one cane to say goodbye to me? I really wanted to talk to Micha again but he'd been avoiding me too.

Finally when the flights boarding, I grab my carry on bag and get on the plane feeling devastated.

The plane takes off on time, and I stare out of the windows watching Italy dissappear to nothing.

Curling up as best as I can in my seat, I cry myself to sleep wishing things could be different.
