Tentatrice

Chapter -6-

The morning rays of hit the blinds of the room and it was the first thing I registered.

I could hear the sound of series of movements outside my door and I thought to myself that it must be the maids getting ready for the days work, until...
I heard a knock on my door I muttered a 'come in' and Natalia eyed my position weirdly and disapprovingly

"What?" I voiced confused
"Wait he didn't tell you?" She asked
"Who? Tell me what?" I asked yet again 
"Your introduction slash initiation ceremony  it's today." She announced

"WHAT!" I yelled
"I take it. you weren't informed" she concluded
"No shit" I retorted "Isn't it a little too soon for that "
She shrugged "That's what we told Vittore but he had already decided" Then both our eyes stopped at the box that sat on my dressing table it was a white box with black corners and a big black bow at the top left corner.
"Aww" Natalia squealed and I grimaced at the sound giving her a look that made her giggle 
I opened the box and saw the note that rest on top of it it read

'Tentatrice

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this earlier but knowing you, you would have loved to put up a good fight. Hope you like the dress baby girl.Love♥'

I had to bite back the smile that threatened to grace my lips. The dress was so beautiful, Natalia held out the dress. It was a simple black dress with tiny straps and had a long slit the dress had jewels that scattered itself everywhere.

Natalia suggested that we go down have breakfast settle for a while before we began preparations and I agreed.

"Good morning girls" Pauline greeted as she was already seated at the dining table we responded shortly.
Ian was the first one to come down after us followed by the twins then Lorenzo.We quietly started to eat and some of us tried not laugh at  Ian's princess night pyjamas
Ian noticed us and sent us his middle finger and I mean all except Lorenzo and Pauline
"No rude gestures" Pauline warned him
"But mamà they were laughing at my pjs" he whined still. Pauline just rolled her eyes and sighed obviously too tired for his early morning nonsense

The sound of shoes clicking against the marble floors filled the room and we all knew who it was.
I forced my eyes not to glance at him as he greeted everyone and they responded

"Hey" he said to me to which I ignored and continued eating. Then I felt his hand on my naked thigh and this made me almost choke which got Pauline worried.

"Ataliah dear are you alright?" I sent her a nod and thankfully Lorenzo spoke up

"Ataliah I've been meaning to ask exactly what  do you do in the underworld?"

All humility was thrown in the trash at this point

"Oh me, I'm nothing serious you've probably never heard about me I guess... I am Triple A" I almost laughed gauging their reactions.All ghostly pale.

Oh come on I'm not that scary. Right?

"Holy motherfucking cow " Alan voiced, Ian had his food halfway his mouth, Natalia was opened eyed shocked , Lorenzo was shocked but tried to appear less of it but as a trained assassin I smelled the fear of him. My eyes betrayed me and I looked over at him to see the expression he wore he looked...proud and for some reason I felt giddy on the inside

"OMG" Alana squealed like a girl meeting her celeb crush

"You've been here idol since she was three" Alan explained

I couldn't exactly help but ask
"How is it that you guys...um"
Alan smiled answering my unfinished question
" Oh we will sometimes break into uncle Vittore's office and there are always little footages of you doing your work on his laptop and we always enjoyed watching you  but you were always hidden we only got to know your name which is cool by the way because uncle Vittore   won't shut up about you" Vittore stared daggers at the teen in front of him and I couldn't help the giggle that came out

" Well it's good thing you are with us, wouldn't want to go up against you" Alana smiled and I just felt so appreciated by the young girl. I finished my breakfast thanked everyone and headed upstairs and sure enough Vittore was right behind me as I got to my door his whole front pressed against my back.

"Why are you ignoring me tentatrice?" His  husky voice asked me.
