The Contract

Chapter 76-The 60th

I got down the stairs, everyone greeting me because come to think of it, I was the new Mrs Ferrari.

I walked into the dining to see the family. "Good morning everyone" I greeted

They all turned to me. "Pearl, come on" Rosa waved me over and I smiled and walked to her. "Let me officially introduce you to the family"

There was so many unfamiliar faces. "Tutti quanti, this is Pearl Ferrari, she should call her Mrs Ferrari from now on" I chuckled.

"Pearl, you know the Aunties, this is Aunt Giovanni's youngest child. Amelio" the boy waved at me and I smiled.

"You will meet the rest of my sons tonight" she added. Rest of her sons?

"Mr Banks, Aunt Sara husband and Hillary's father"

"Good morning sir" I greeted him. "Mr Edward, Mr Anthony, Mr & Mrs Rocci, Lorenzo's parents..."

Turns out the family was larger than I thought. "Some of them couldn't make it to your wedding because of... some reason. Aunt Maria wouldn't make it today"

"Good to see everyone" I said and they all replied . "Come join us" she urged. "I'll go see how things are going in the kitchen" I suggested instead.

She nodded and I left, walking in there was Raquel, Hillary and another person, a younger girl. "Hey Pearl" Hillary called out and Raquel just glanced back at me.

"Hey, how are you, Raquel?" She was surprised I asked. "I'm okay" she replied before walking to the other side.

"Who is-"

"Oh, this is my little sister"

"I'm not your little sister" she airquoted and Hillary rolled her eyes. "I'm Juliet"

"Nice to meet you, how come I haven't met you?" I had to ask. "she has been in college" Hillary replied and I glanced back at Raquel.

"Come on, let's serve this and have breakfast. We gotta prepare for church " she said, and we headed back into the dining.

Church of St. Francis of Assisi.

We went to pay respect to Late Mr Roman Ferrari, the whole family was here and we all wore black.

I stared at the picture of Mr Ferrari. The last time I saw him before he died was like... 3 years ago. He was a lot different, he has this tough looking demeanor but a good heart.

The family began leaving one after the other, I glanced up at Travis, his eyes dead set on the frame, he didn't seem to want to leave.

He was closer to his dad than anyone else, I glanced further at Trent who was at a distance, he dipped his hand into his pocket and headed out.

I sighed and looked back at Travis, my hands slowly made way to his and he came back to reality.

He looked down at me before glancing at the rest of the family who were leaving. He sucked in a breath before saying, "let's go"

We walked down the little stairs and walked out of the church. Outside, the family conversed, there was even more unfamiliar faces.

"I haven't seen Lorenzo, have you?" Hillary appeared behind me and I jumped back. "No, I haven't"

She then sighed and stood beside. "What about Adrian? I haven't seen him too" I shot her a look. "What?"

"Best in moving fast" I muttered.

"I didn't say anything"

"We saw you both in the jet" I told her. "So what, you and Travis were spying on us?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.
