Me and my siblings arrived home about 11 pm we kinda lost track of time and when we walked in we saw a very unhappy Vicario
'SHIT'
Was all I could think off "may I ask where the hell you were Valeria?"he said in a calm tone too calm for my liking
"André take Gabby to bed she looks tired"I turn to look at my brother"what but I'm not even that tir-" my sister tried to protest
"Gabriela if I have to tell you to go to your room myself you won't like how I do it ,you too André I'll see both of you tomorrow "I looked at both of them arms crossed over my chest sternly telling them to leave
My sister rolled her eyes and André gave me a sympathetic look telling me to be careful
I smiled and nodded at him in reassurance ,.. as my siblings room door closed i turned around looking at Vicario "so , I'm still waiting for my answer"
"I'm not some child you need to keep track of Mr. Martínez " I have no idea where this boldness came from but I liked it " Should I rephrase myself to you Valeria I told you to be in this house by 10:30 pm and you decided to arrive at 11:00 p.m."
He glared at me " Look Mr. Martinez you might own this house and you might own most of the things in this house but let me tell you something you do not own me so let's make a deal shall we?"
Ok see you guys I'm a dead fucking woman "and what deal might that be Mrs. Martinez " wait he actually wants to know "ok, we don't have to like each other but we could act around people since this is a fake marriage we can just act like...."
I pause looking for the right words " like the happiest couple " I said in a worried tone as I looked at him for an answer but all I saw was a blank expression
"And what are the benefits of this deal?"he asked curious "the benefits is we don't talk to each other we don't have to acted like a happy couple when we are at home and you let me run free and come home whenever I like and I'll stop giving you such a hard time and actually leave you alone"
He averted his gaze to think about my proposal "ok deal but at least take 2 bodyguards with you when you go out ?" I nod in response
Ok that went more well than I expected "André, vieni qui, ho bisogno di parlarti"I shout from down stairs to call my brother
Translation:( André come here I need to talk to you)
"Hey so what's up " even though me and Vicario made a deal to act like a real couple infront of people but at home we at as if we don't even live in the same house
But I have been saving up money for André and Gabriela to move out into the lake house because that was previously owned by my father
I dont want my siblings living here because it's not safe so their moving to the lake house and well they love it there but I hope they understand that it's the safest option because I don't like this place there's just something off about it
I'd don't know how to explain it it feels like someone is watching me and keeping track of my every move if you understand what that means
" Hey you and Gabriela need to pack your bags" I tried my best not to sound worried but I was " what why" he looks at Vicario who was standing behind me for and answer but he just shrugged
" You and Gabby will be moving in the lake house because since father stopped paying it went on sale and I bought it'
His eyes widened" YOU DID WHAT!?" My father stopped paying the rent or whatever and then at some point he stopped caring and put it on sale so when me and my siblings went there
I thought why not buy it and then they can live there and they can be safe because only a few people in my family know about the lake house so it's safe
" Wait wait how did you buy the house from father since he owned it " he said a little confused
"Well father didn't care about the house anymore so he put it up for sale and I bought it " I told him getting a little annoyed
Before he could reply I told him to "André just gets your bags packed you'll be leaving tomorrow and with that he left
" Why is the lake house so important to you" I jerked to the side forgetting Vicario was behind me
Should I tell him...
Hey my beautiful readers😎🤭 so how are y'all doing
Im good but worried🥺😑 about the next chapter that I'll be realising
And Vicario and his mixed signals is so irritating but he'll get thereI hope my beautiful readers will still support me ❤️
Bye love ya 💝
