Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 37

"WAHHH...." Alexa stared at the little child in front of her standing with his mouth wide open in shock for the last fifteen minutes.

"For how long are you planning on admiring my house from outside kiddo?"

"Alexa? You refuse to live here?!!!"

"The house is not the problem kid.." She mumbled to herself," Common we have to go."

Noah quickly grabbed her hand and was ready to run inside, but he could not move. He looked up at Alexa, "Let's go?"

She took a deep breath and got down on her knee," Before we go in there. Noah, listen to me carefully. There will be two men in there, both are old men so you will be able to recognize them. They are my grandpa and uncle. Whatever happens, I MEAN WHATEVER, never talk to them, EVER. If they question you, ignore them and run away. Come looking for me, but don't reply to them. If you won't be able to find me, I will show you some people in the house you can run to. Okay? Do you understand me, Noah?"

After she called him by his name, Noah realized the seriousness in her tone.

"Are they bad people Alexa?"

She looked at his face for a few seconds and blinked a few times before she replied, "Yes. They are bad people. Very bad people."

"Okay, I promise I won't talk to them."

Giving him a small smile she ruffled his hair, "Good."

"Alexa! You have to stop doing that to my hair." He said with a slight pout and fixed his hair.

"Common," She started walking inside with his bag in her hand as Noah ran behind her.

As she entered the mansion, she saw all the house workers running here and there. Seeing the commotion Alexa got hold of one of them.

Noticing the eldest daughter of the house the maid bowed down to her in haste, "Good evening ma'am."

"What is happening here?" Alexa questioned her while looking around.

"Your uncle- I mean Mr. Angello, is leaving for Italy in two hours. It was so sudden that everyone was busy making arrangements."

Seeing so many people all of a sudden Noah got a little scared and hid behind Alexa, holding on to the hem of her shirt tightly.

"Who is that child?!"

 A deep voice came from the side. Noticing the head of the family there, the maid quickly gave one last bow and took her leave.

Alexa saw both her uncle and grandfather standing there. 

She knew Noah recognized them as the ones she told him to stay away from cause Alexa felt his grip on her tighten in fear.

Without replying to her grandfather Alexa called out for Catherine. It barely took any time for the head maid to appear before her.

"Yes, Ms. Angello?"

"Take Noah to my room."

"Yes ma'am."

Alexa handed over his bag to Catherine. Noah looked up at her as she gave him a reassuring nod," Go with her.," she whispered.

Once he was out of their sight, she turned to the two men in front of her.

"He is my guest."

"Alexandra Angello, do not even bother to ask for my permission before getting a random stranger home? Who's kid is that?" Dominic Angello spoke in a very authoritative tone.

" When was the last time I asked for your PERMISSION Mr. Angello? And don't worry I did not kidnap the child, he is an orphan. Do me a favor and stay away from him," she got closer to him glaring straight into his eyes," Or else things might get very, very ugly. Now, you wouldn't want that, would you? "
