Beauty and rage

chapter 24~ Ella

"I thought I was doing a good job keeping her from outside the world but"

"But?" He questions

"He knows about her"

"Who"

"Dimitri" I look at him

"I been thinking that I should keep her safe till I take care of him"

"One question, is she the reason why you didn't killed him the other day" Silas asks and I nod

Not only that day but also back then when I was kidnapped by him, if I was kidnapped so easily he could do the same to Gabriella and she was a newborn at that time

He was blackmailing me, telling me that he would hurt her,

My mind is a strange place, I wouldn't cry or be sad if anyone died but something changed the day I saw Gabriellas face

Day by day she was looking more like me, she's exact copy of me, I have urge of protecting her and know that if I fail something horrific will happen

"I want to keep her safe, with me and-"

'with someone who I trust' I wanted to say but didn't, I don't want to tell him that I completely trust him I just think that I need someone to... Help me?

Strange saying or even think about me asking for help, last time I did that was 10 years ago and never after

I was a kid who never needed a help, some called me gifted, smart, genius but never hardworking,

"I understand, I want to help you if you let me, I won't disappoint you, I promise" sometimes I think that he's reading my mind

"I don't ask for help, like, ever but if I do that's how you know it's bad, I been let down million's of times by people who you never thought of would"

"What I'm trying say is that, I might get little too overprotective so bear with me for a while, I will own you a big time"

"I don't think you understand what I meant the other day when I kneeled in from of you and offered you my soul"

"What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to ask, just tell me and I will make it happen, for you and the little one" he looks at Gabriella

I sigh

"She really does look like you" he changes the subject

"So what's the plan" Silas asks

I shruggle, I don't know,

Me

I

I. don't. Know.

"It's okay, may I suggest something" I nod

"How about we choose where we should take her, Italy isn't the best place for her, I can offer you to stay at France, I guarantee you and her protection" I listen at his offer

"She can stay with you for a while and if you have to leave I can provide a maid for her that I trust-"

"How much do you trust her" I question

"She raised me, and as I was saying maid and guards as many as you feel like she needs them"

That's a good offer, but still feel like something will go wrong

"The guards that I will provide for Gabriella are the same that i provide for my mother so there is no doubt that they won't do a good job"

I look at him and say "okay"

"Really" I nod

"I'm not sure how I will tell her though"

"May I" he asks,

'sure' I mouthed

He stands up taking his suit off which leaves him only in black Dress shirt, he walk to Ella and takes seat hext to her

"What are you playing" he asks her

"It's a tea party" she answers shyly

"Do you wanna play" she asks him

"Sure" he answers and see how this huge man sits next to a little gir who looks like dot next to him,

"Gabriella, can I ask you a question"

"Wait, we need Silvia" oh shit

"I'm coming love" I say to her, she smiles not knowing that she has two scariest mafia leaders wrapped around her tinny finger

"You can ask now"

"Do you like this place" Silas asks

"I like Anna"

"But what about the house and all those trees" Ella started to think

She shruggles

"I actually have a house and it's very pretty, it has amm-"

"Swimming pool" I state

"Yes and also a-" Silas looka at me for some help

"Flowers, like a garden anddd lots of toys" I state and Silas nods

"Yes, I have them"

"Wow, more than I have here" Ella sks

"Of course"

I look at them and listen to their conversation as I hold a pink plastic cup

"But I never been anywhere other than this place"

"Yes but you will be closer with your sister"

"Really" Ella looks at me and I nod.
