Chapter 21
Elias

My smile immediately faded and was replaced with a frown, I looked a Maeve whose smile was also gone. Adriano? Is it me or am I just thinking of someone different? There's only one Adriano I know of and whatever Maeve does I don't want her to get close to him.

"Stella can you uhm describe his appearance for me?" Maeve raised her brow in pure confusion, "wh-" - "Stella just describe it" she swallowed fiddling with her hands in her lap.

"Well he was tall, black hair, hazel or green eyes I don't remember that he had a scare under his eye" My brows raised no fucking way. "Stella which eye?"

"Left"

"Adriano Cáceres"

Maeve's eyes widened, "how did you-?" So it is him, Adriano Cáceres, rich family, with an interesting background a Mafia one to be exact one of the well known families in the Dominican Republic, and one of Gianni's men great. I don't know what type of sick attentions they have but that guy Adriano he is a bastard. "Listen Maeve whatever you do don't contact nor talk to him anymore"

Her face scrunched and her lips pouted, "You can't tell me who I can and cannot be friends with." I knew she would say that I know Gianni is using Adriano as a mole to get close to Maeve but she wouldn't understand.

"Listen Stella I'm trying to protect you"

"Protect me from what? Your little dangerous business you run? The illegal shit you do? Is Adriano apart of it?"

I sigh she really is gonna be stubborn huh? "You don't need to know all of that." She scoffed standing up from the bench, "fuck, you confuse me Elias you really do I don't know what to think of you right now one minute you're smiling the next your in a tight frown." She was right and I couldn't deny that.

"I'm trying to protect you." I said again all she did was stare, she stared right at me she wasn't having it My jaw clenched as I stared back at her. "I'll see you later Elias." She spoke getting off the bench I didn't say anything and I didn't even stop her I watched as she climbed over the dainty fence.

I sighed rubbing my hand over my face' I had to stop Adriano before Gianni sends more men. Maeve was now one of their targets but she won't get that would she?

I sat on the bench smoking I sat there for extra 40 minutes. It got darker and darker so I finally headed to my dorm I walked down the hallway, as I was walking I heard someone arguing? From the office it was late and the only person who would be there would be my mother. I walked into the office and heard her in a heated talk.

I peeked over she was on the phone probably with her boyfriend- wait I started to hear her mix in some Italian."Ascolta, non succederà, cazzo, non lo gestisco più, non dopo il mio defunto marito, non voglio più farne parte, quindi vaffanculo!"("Listen that's not fucking happening I don't run it anymore, not after my late husband I don't want to be apart of it anymore so fuck off!") I heard her say now I was intrigued who the hell- "listen Gianni you won't be touching my family-"

"-You're crazy if you think I would do that, it ends there." Gianni, of course it was him I wanted to move closer but I accidentally knocked something down I saw her head snap towards me. I hid, "who's there! Show yourself." I made sure I was entirely quiet I waited before dashing out the office, after that I knew she was probably on high alert.
