HER REVENGE

3.

"Are you going to pour me a drink or not?" Alessandro asked,

Chiara took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. She poured the drink and placed it in front of him, her hands shaking. She then turned to leave, not wanting to face him any longer.

"What's going on with her?" Sebastiano asked, raising an eyebrow

"How am I supposed to know?" Alessandro said, shrugging. "She's just a waitress, after all."

At that moment, a text message popped up on Alessandro's phone.

💬"Boss Godfather sent for you," looking down at the screen. "He needs to see me."

"What does he want?" he asked,

"I don't know what he wants, but I'm going to go see him," Alessandro said, getting up from his seat. "You can go back to the office."

"Of course," Sebastiano said, his brow furrowed. "But are you sure you're okay? You seem a little off."

"I'm fine," Alessandro said "I just have a lot on my mind."

Sebastiano nodded. "Okay," he said, standing up as well. "I'll see you later then."

"Is it true that the Don is planning to marry Rosalba to Alessandro?" Giulia asked

"Yes, I believe it is," Antonio said, nodding his head. "Though I'm not sure why that's any of your concern."

"Because I'm worried about him," Giulia said"I think this is a bad idea."

"You don't have to worry about him," Antonio said

"Let her worry," Vittoria said. "She's going to miss being his sex slave."

"Vittoria, that's inappropriate," Paola said,

"Why are you defending her?" Vittoria asked"You know I'm right."

"No, you're not," Giulia said, "You're just being rude and disrespectful."

"Whatever," Vittoria said, rolling her eyes.

"We have a mission tonight," Andrea said

"Who are you to order us around?" Giulia asked"You're not the boss here."

"I know I'm not the boss," Andrea said, holding up his hands in a gesture of peace. "But the boss asked me to let everyone know that we have a mission tonight. So we all need to be ready."

"Which boss?" Vittoria asked, her brow furrowed

"Matteo," Andrea said

"But he doesn't have the authority to order us around," Giulia said,"We're not his servants."

"I know," Andrea said. "But he's just trying to keep us all organized and on the same page."

"I don't care," Giulia said

"Any more complaints and I'll take your tongue," Matteo said, his voice cold and menacing. He strode into the room, his eyes fixed on Giulia.

"You have no right to order us around," Carmela said "We are not your slaves."

"Shut up," Matteo said. "Or I'll lock you in the dungeon and punish you."

"It's time to get ready," Matteo said, his tone brooking no argument. "We don't have time to waste."

The others in the room hurried to gather their things, not wanting to make Matteo any angrier than he already was.

They all knew how dangerous he could be when he was in this kind of mood.
