Chapter 28

Kiara

Ever since the kidnapping, I have been a bit desolated and was paranoid about everything and everyone around me. But I would like to think that all is good now.

A little delusion doesn't hurt anyone.

Plus life has been good in the past few days. School was alright with Felix trying to teach me maths which by the way was going horribly and it always resulted in me crying out of frustration.
But overall good.

Call me paranoid but everything has been going too smoothly for my liking and it's making me feel suspicious and anxious like some big threat is looming over my head just waiting to break me when the chance comes.

But that's just me being foolish and overthinking everything. I payed no mind and descended the stairs and headed straight to the kitchen. It was the weekend. Finally, no school, no nothing.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Aunt Gianna came from behind me and gave me a kiss on my cheek before sitting on the bar stool beside me.

"Good morning, Aunti Gigi." I greeted back her with a yawn overcoming me. I offered her a small smile and then started to silently eat the food with was kept in front of me by one of the maids.

"Are you ready for the party?" She questioned, eating a waffle from my plate.

"What party?" My nose scrunched in confusion as I turned my body to her.

"We have a flight in an hour. Get ready." Declan announced to me as he passed by us.

"What?" My face twisted in confusion.

"You didn't know, Kia?" Ezra asked as he slumped beside me and ate a price of bacon from my plate. I swatted his hand away and stopped taking more food from my plate.

"Know what? Where are we going?" I stood up stuffing my mouth with bacon and heaved my arms up in utter confusion.

"We're going to visit our dear homeland." Noah answered me. But I just furrowed my brows in further confusion.

"Italy. We're going to Italy." Felix finally came down the stairs and answered my question without causing any further confusion.

Aaron entered the living room with two suitcases and then rolled them in my direction. "I have already packed for you. Toiletries, gowns, dresses, shorts, tops and everything." He said and then grabbed himself breakfast.

"I have gowns?" My eyebrows knitted together knowing that Aaron bought them without me knowing. Nevertheless, I shrugged in acceptance, happy for a small vacation away from all the craziness.

They did not let me process the news as in less than two minutes we were on the road and then instantly boarding the jet as soon as we entered the airport's private entrance.

I was in love ever since the plane landed in Italy. It had been a long while since I visited Lake Como. Till now I vividly remember the last time I was here. It was kind of a bittersweet feeling, reminiscing about that memory.

The villa is etched in my heart. I still remember it from corner to corner. Especially the colourful bougainvillea's adorning the walls of the villa. I love whole villa but there's one place which is the dearest to me.

The path from the gazebo to the most serene view of the Como Mountains. But it's not just an ordinary path, it is surrounded my various flowers and mainly the ceiling is adorned with Wisteria. It is the most magical place for me because it makes me feel like a fairy in a mystical garden away from reality.
