Chapter 8
Jade's POV
Now that the three psychopaths have left, I can speak to Juliana en tête-à-tête. I'm worried about Cassandra. But she is a woman of sound judgement. She's ressourceful and the wisest of us four.
"Ana, we must speak!"
"Yes, but not here," she answers, turning her gaze to the maids, who had never left the room after service.
Wanting to express one's gratitude to the point of kidnapping the person who helped them is extreme and beyond logic.
Furthermore, Alessandro is stuck to Juliana like glue. Doesn't he have to sleep? Well, we just have to check if he understands German.
I've been wondering where his parents are...
The brat got attached really fast. I can't blame him though. The woman is as sweet as candy. You can't just not love her.
We head for the room they had prepared for my little sunshine, which is situated between mine and his mother's. While I check every corner for hidden bugs, Juliana uses her little portable bug detector disguised as a pen to sweep for more sophisticated concealed spying devices.
The pen is a little present of her uncle Menelik. I genuinely love the man, who is Juliana's real and only parental figure, but I wouldn't want to be on his bad side. Even though he always strikes strangers as an affable person, he can be vicious when provoked.
Ana doesn't look like that, but she is as sly as a fox. It partly stems from her past but also from all the "training " she underwent under her uncle's supervision.
When you come from affluent families, you get a lot of unwanted attention, especially when you're the designated black sheep. In that regard, Ana, her uncle and myself share this unfortunate particularity.
Well, lets just say that blood relatives don't always have your best interest. Tam, Cass, Ana, and my little baby are my true family. And nobody gets to hurt them without retaliation. No one!
I know that she caught Darth Vader's attention.
He's intrigued... He can't hide the curiosity, which stubbornly seeps through his emotionless face every time he lays his eyes on her. And knowing how low Ana's self-awareness is, she hasn't figured out that "Mr. dark and mighty" is attracted to her.
Dream on Dani! I won't allow him to turn her into one of his bedwarmers! Not on my watch!
These devils have no clue that hell is about to break loose!
