Silent love

Chapter 3

On the previous chapter...

The Don locks eye contact with me. Normally I would look away but father told me that that is a sign of weakness. It means that the other person has more power of you then you do.

His gaze is intimidating and cold.

But familiar.

Those cold grey eyes.

A tall and broad man keeps talking to him but I can't catch a word he says.

He turns around and looks me up and down.

And throws the money in my face.

500 bucks.

He walked past our table.

I kept eye contact with him till I suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me.

Lyès looks at me.

And I know what he is thinking.

He truly is a sick bastard.

   
ʚ YAQUELINE'S POV ɞ

"It's him". I lean closer to Divine.
"Are you sure? He doesn't seem to be the type for that". She hesitates.

We are almost 2 hours here and I am tired.

I want to go home.

I want to wear comfortable clothes and remove my bra. I want to lay down on bed and watch a movie or read a book.

I raise my eyebrow at her. "He seems even worse".

"Who? Seth? For sure he is". Jacques joins our conversation. If Jac finds out that it is him indeed, he will burn this whole place down.

We don't want a round two of our past.

Divine knows that I have told her not to tell him anything and she is keeping her mouth shut.

Thank god.

"There is really no reason for you to talk about him like this". I defend Seth.

"So are you crushing on him now?" Jac asks.
"What?! No! I have a boyfriend". I say.

"So? You can still have feelings for him". He replies.

I roll my eyes. "Don't talk to me".

Our conversation got interrupted by the sound of glass tikking, thankfully.

It was the righthand man of the Don, Silvio Costello.

"May I have your attention please".

His voice was deep, you could tell that he smokes.

The waiters were serving glasses of champagne around. I grabbed one too and thanked the waiter.

The Mancini's walked down the stairs and stopped midway, next to their righthand man.

The Don stood next to a rail as Silvio stands next to him. On his left side is his sister standing, who glares at everyone and sends them her cold gaze.

Next to her was their brother standing and drinking from his glass, trying to hold his smirk in.

The Don took over. "Thank you for joining us tonight".
