The Lily Underground

30.

Third person narrator

Miya had been busy the past few weeks even though her marriage with Roberto only had one purpose which was to ruin her dad's reputation it still had to be perfect everyone else needed to believe that Miya and Roberto were getting married because they were in love. This meant that Miya had been busy finding a dress something she had always been so bad at. She was more of a pants and t-shirt/sweater girl. 

Miya and Roberto hadn't had much time together alone. He was extremely busy but there was something off something and he wasn't telling Miya what it was. Although she did know that it wasn't him lying to her about her family, but it seemed like Roberto was worried about him keeping everyone in his mansion safe as if he knew someone would attack them very soon. He was always on edge prepared to protect, and Miya could only imagine what kind og threat he was keeping himself prepared for. 

"Miya what are your plans for today?"

It was 9 am and Miya had went to the kitchen and prepared some food. Roberto insisted that she got Petra to prepare food for her, but Miya felt weird about having another person make a sandwich for her as if she did have hands and arms herself. 

"I don't have any today, since the wedding dress didn't fit perfectly I'm having it fitted and the lady said that, it would take a few days so right now I'm just relaxing"

"Hmm" Roberto said as if he was acknowledging Miya's plans

"Do you perhaps want to eat dinner with me Miya?

"Yeah sure just here in the mansion right?"

Miya actually didn't feel like getting dressed up and all that so she would prefer the dinner to be at the mansion.

"yes just here, I have some free time and I do think that even though our reason for getting married isn't love it would still be a good idea to get to know each other"

Miya simply nodded and Roberto told her that the dinner would be ready a 7.pm.

---

Miya had spent most of her day just watching tv shows and eating popcorn and by the time it 6.pm. she knew she needed a shower cause she smelled super not nice. 

 And by the time she was ready it was 6.50. pm so she went down to the dining room - Roberto still wasn't there the food was already on the table so where was Roberto.

30 minutes later Miya began eating by herself when Roberto chose to show up, he looked worried something wasn't right something bad was going on.

"Miya I really don't want to frighten you but were expecting an attack soon"

"What do you mean soon, like today?"

But the house had gone silent and Miya knew the attack had already begun

"Roberto what happened to your men, where are they?" 

"Well they aren't here our calculations were wrong" he hit his hand on the table "fuck me I messed up badly" 

"Where did you send your men off to?"

"we didn't know that they knew we were at this mansion.."

Roberto didn't get to finish his sentence before gunshots could be heard, and the few men who were guarding the mansion died in a matter of seconds.

"Roberto do you have a weapon I can use? maybe a gun?"

Roberto looked intensely at Miya "Miya no matter what happens to me today I'll keep you safe do you understand?" 

Miya didn't answer

"I said do you understand, I promised Luca, I would keep you safe and I'm a man of my word, so if anything goes extremely wrong I want you to run away do you understand? don't look back and don't come after me"

Miya didn't have time to question Roberto now about how he knew Luca. 

Footsteps of men walking inside the house towards the dining room where Miya and Roberto were could be heard, and they were both prepared to take down every single person who dared to step in.
