CONQUERING ALESSIO

CHAPTER 4

WINSTONIA....

Toni didn't think she'd get the job at the Valetti's especially because she was an hour late for her meeting,but after interacting with Mrs Valetti all that changed.Arielle Valetti is a very sweet and loving person and the short time Toni has spent in her company makes her extremely happy that she's working for a woman like her.

She had her reservations at first but now that she's been working here for a full week,she couldn't be more happier.Even their head maid Seline ensures she gets her three meals a day,and the salary is way better than at the restaurant....three times better.But the cherry on the cake is that she no longer stays with her father,she has a decent size apartment around here which is a fifteen minute drive from the house.

The chaffuer of the Valetti's come and pick her up and they also drop her off around seven at night.She feels more safe and secure now that she's on her own,and she is also happy that her father can't find her at all...along with his Mafia gang.Tonight she'll have to stay over because Mrs Valetti is going out with her husband.

The two little four year old girls are so adorable and they look exactly like their mother.The fourteen year old daughter has a resemblance with their father,this whole family is so loving and down to earth, they've been nothing but kind and caring. Though there is one thing that keeps on nagging at her....why do they need such heavy security and why whenever one of the family members goes out there are always two or more bodyguards with them.

She has questions and many of them,but considering she's new  Toni doesn't want to pry and risk losing her job.She loves it here especially the kids.She is inside the kitchen when Mrs Valetti strolls in and the look on her face has Toni worried,she hopes she's done nothing wrong.She cannot afford to lose this job....not now when she's finally free of her father and all the shit he put her through.

"Mrs Valetti?"She questioned."Is everything alright?"

When she looked up Toni saw the gloomy,depressed look in her eyes but just as quickly it disappeared and was replaced with the joyful,loving look she always has."Yes everything is alright Toni thank you for asking.And I thought I made it clear that you have to call me Arielle or Ari...which ever one that suits you best."

"I'll try to Mrs Valetti."She promised."Did you need anything?"

"I'm looking for Seline.Have you seen her?"She asked.

"She went out to get a few groceries,she said she'll be back soon." Toni answered.

"Thank you Winstonia."She turned to leave but spun around again. "Ariana and Briana wants to go out for ice cream."

"I'll be there in a second."Toni replied."Just want to clean up the mess I made.Seline is very strict about the kitchen."

Ari laughs softly."I know,since she's been here...I'm not allowed in here anymore.I'll be coming with you guys that is if you don't mind. Some fresh air would be good."

"Of course not Mrs Valetti."Toni told her."You more than welcome to join us.Plus who can say no to ice cream."Ari smiled at her statement and continued ahead.Toni quickly rinsed out her bowl and glass before safely placing each item at their place.Next she made her way upstairs to the girls.She found them playing together on the floor.Perfect identicals Toni thought but she already knows who is who."Come on girls.Let's get you ready?"

Immediately they jumped up from the floor where they are playing and each of them ran towards her,to give her a tight hug.She has grown close to them rather quickly and the fact that they listen to her warms her heart further."Can mommy come with?"Briana asks in her gently voice.

"Why not?"Toni said with a smile."Then we can all have fun together,a girls day out.Would you enjoy that."

"Yeah!!".They exclaimed together.It took Toni less than ten minutes to get them all dressed up,for their ages they are really self efficient and smart too.They question if they don't understand or ask if they need clarity or guidance,such adorable little beings.
