CHP 9 :- Tour of Moretti's Mansion

Valentina's POV

"We will be visiting the doctor tomorrow."

My elder brother's words rang in my head like a drum making me go all alarmed.

"W-What ? No !" I said and stood up from my seat.

There is no way I am going to visit the damn doctor.

"Sit down, Valentina." Dante said, sternly but I had enough of him listening to him or more like obeying his orders from last night.

"No." I denied, shaking my head and I watched how my brother's jaw clenched and his black eyes going more dark & cold.

"Valentina don't defy me and sit back." His deep cold voice sent a shiver down my spine but I wasn't going to back down that easily.

"I am not going to visit any doctor tomorrow." I firmly said only to get a cold glare in return.

"You will visit the doctor, Valentina." Dante said, sternly.

"I said no. You can't force me." I greeted out as I clenched my fist.

Just because he is my brother doesn't mean he can force me. Period !

"I just want to make sure you are okay, Valentina so we are definitely going to visit the doctor tomorrow." He stated, his voice was blank & cold.

Okay ? I am broken here ! But he doesn't have to know that.

"I am fine okay so I am definitely not going to visit any doctor tomorrow." I said back while matching his tone he used earlier.

"Valentina." My elder brother greeted out my name and I slightly flinched and his sharp black eyes noticed it and they went soft for a second before they were cold again.

Dante took a deep breath before he stood up and walked in my direction and I forced myself not to back away from him and crane my neck upwards to look at his face.

Now I hate to be short heighted !

"It's not good for you to have such small appetite. Your health is in bad condition after what you told me and we need to work on it to get it back in good condition." Dante said. This time his voice was calm and strangely a bit gentle too.

"Visiting a doctor can help you, Valentina." He said and I just stared at him.

My brother was right. Doctor can help me but he can cause me problem as well.

What if the doctor expose about what I went through in New York ?

No ! That's not happening. I just got my family and I don't want them to know about my dark past which I am trying so hard to hide from them.

"No." I denied once again and I can feel the heat of anger coming out from my elder brother who was looking down at me with his black eyes.

"Is that your last decision ?" He suddenly asked and I frown a bit but nodded my head.

"Yes."

"Okay." Dante said and moved back to his seat and I, on the other hand grew confuse & nervous.

Now what does his 'okay' means ? But I knew this word is anything but fine.

"Okay ?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him and he just calmly look into my eyes.

"You can leave now." Dante said and instead of becoming relief that I was finally leaving this suffocating room I grew tense in my position.

"What are you going to do ?" I asked, trying to keep my tone calm.
