Flashback

I was heading towards the kitchen, just when my eyes fell on few men sitting with my dad, I head towards them as I heard them mentioning my mom's name.

"Is there anyway the 100% property could be mine?" My dad asked.

I halted right there, he wants all the property on his name? Mom owned the other half right, didn't he already got it?

I silently peered and kept listening to their conversation. 

"No Mr. Selig, not for now... Ms. Pierce has transferred it all on your daughter Edla's name." He revealed, and there I stood totally shocked.

"These whores will be the death of me." I hear him growl angrily and I look down sadly.

His next words shocked me even more. 

"What if she dies?!" He asked with no emotion in his voice.

I shivered and gulped, I was indeed scared, will he kill me if they said yes?

"Then the whole company will be governments property Mr. Selig, that's not possible.... but there is indeed a way now that I think of it." He replied.

I exhaled, calming myself.

"What's it?" He asked excitedly.

"Once she turns 21, she can sign the property under your name... then even if she dies, property will be yours." He stated.

"WHAT THE FUCK, I have to wait 7 freaking years and handle that bitch for so long!!" 

I flinched on his sudden outburst and ran back to my room, weeping silently.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Whoever owns the other 50% has no say in this Mr. Marino so you don't have to worry. Your money will be put in a good use, and you'll get it back with interest soon too." Dad stated.

There was complete silence for a while, as everyone waited for his reply.

"How about we share some words in private, Mr. Selig." He proposed more like order.

"Alright Mr. Marino.... Everyone please leave, and you" he said pointing at me. "Go with-" He was about to point at someone else.

"You'll stay, go out and wait for me gattina." Mr. Marino cuts him off.

I saw a victory smirk appear on my dad face.

I sighed in relief, did he just save me? I just hope he doesn't has any ill intentions about me.

"Come on Bella let's go." Leo, as I remember his name said and took my hand in his, helping me off Luca's lap.

I follow them outside. I take my hand off Leo's grip.
