CLARA'S POV
“What was that about???”
“N…no.. nothing madam.”
“Clara, I know you and I also know when one is hiding something from me…come out clean with it right now.”
“It’s sir's Mother…she gave me her number.” I said.
“What for??”
“I honestly don't know yet madam..she told me she had an assignment for me and that she would communicate with me in regards to the assignment.” I said.
I didn't want to tell madam Irene the truth because I knew how close she was to Arsenio and the last thing I wanted was to be in his bad books.
“Are you sure??” She asked.
“Yes madam.”
“Alright, I just have one piece of advice for you and that is to stay away from that woman as much as possible….she doesn't mean well for Arsenio and so you need to stay away.”
I was deeply confused and didn't know who to believe at the moment.
“Okay madam.”
“Good…now, I have already prepared food so go and serve it to Arsenio.”
“No, I can't, madam.” I said as I shook my head vigorously.
“Why??”
“He will hurt me.” I said.
“Hurt you??? What are you saying Clara??”
“Please I beg of you madam, I will do whatever you want me to do but just don't send me to Sir for now please.” I pleaded.
“Okay, it's fine….I will go myself…just tidy up the kitchen.” She said.
“Thank you so much madam.” I said as I walked into the kitchen.
ARSENIO'S POV
When I held Clara's face in my hand earlier on, I could see the genuine fear in her eyes and that made me feel like I was a monster.
I had no idea if scaring her like that was a good idea but a part of me wanted to do that so she wouldn't cross her boundaries anymore.
I needed to clear my head and so I went into my private room and just laid there.
Asides from my main bedroom, I had a soundproof room where I go to relax and clear my head and the only ones who knew about the room were Irene and Sergio because I didn't trust another person to tell such to.
Just a few minutes later, I heard the door knob twisting open and wondered who could be entering....if it was Irene or Sergio.
Because of how soundproof the room was, I taught Irene and Sergio how to open it because if they knocked, I wouldn't hear anything.
“Renio???”
“Over here.” I said as I laid on the bed.
“Why are you here??? Is your Mother's issue still bothering you??”
“Please don't say anything about that woman.”
“I won't….that is not the reason why I came in here anyway.”
“Why are you here then?? Is that woman still at my house??”
“No, she is gone…I came here to talk about Clara.” Irene said.
“I don't want to talk about that too.” I said as I rolled my eyes.
“Did you do something to her Renio?? Because when I sent her to you earlier on, she looked terrified upon even hearing your name.”
“Good…she needs to know her place here.”
“What did she do???”
“Always pushing herself into my business and I hate it with a passion.” I said.
“I understand you Renio but you know she is new here and needs time to adjust to everything…it's too early for her to be this terrified of you.”
“Trust me when I say it is better this way Irene….she needs to fear me.”
“And now that she does, what next?” Irene asked.
“Nothing…she should stay the fuck away from me and that is the best thing to do.”
“Alright, I won't argue with your decision but please don't hurt her…I may understand that you don't trust her but she looks like someone who genuinely has been through hell and I don't want her to feel uncomfortable here.”
“I don't think that should be any of my business Irene…she came here to work and not to be comfortable so her comfortability should be none of your Business.” I said In anger.
I just didn't understand what spell Clara had on her that made everyone like her.
If I was one who believed in witches and black magic, I would have assumed she was a witch.
“I've heard you…I was just giving you harmless advice…by the way, have you eaten and how's the pain on your head now?? Has it subsided???”
“It has subsided and I am not hungry.” I said.
“You haven't eaten all day Renio, you have to eat something.”
“What I need right now is a good sleep…food is the least of my problems.”
“You know I can be as stubborn as you, Renio….so don't think this stubbornness of yours is only one sided.” She said.
Irene was right because having been with me for a long time, she practically knew everything about me including my strengths and weaknesses.
“I am planning on going back to the states.” I blurted out.
“Why??? But you just got to Italy.” She said with a sad look on her face.
“I don't like it here…so it's better I go back.”
“Think about this very well before making a decision, that is all I have to say because you are a grown man and so I can't make your decisions for you.”
“I understand Irene…..thank you.”
“Or is this about whatever that has been going on??” She asked.
“Not necessarily…you see, I came here for a business transaction that is not currently going well at the moment and so if I get it done, the best thing to do is go back.”
“That is fair….but think about the decision properly okay??? Anyway, I will get you your food and I will be right back because nobody starves under my watch in this house.” She said as she walked away.
I chuckled softly and as she left, I got a call from Sergio.
“Sergio, what is going on???”
“I have got two news, boss…one about Clara and the other about your package.” He said.
“Tell me about my package first!!”
“It has been found but the shocking twist to it is that it wasn't Don who was behind it but someone else.”
“Who the fuck would dare to steal from me???!!!!” I yelled out in anger.
“Your half brother, Elijah.”
