"And then that bastard had the audacity to call me a brat, A BRAT" Selene yells through our face time call.
I'm not exactly sure what she's talking about as my mind is elsewhere. I can't stop thinking about what Nikolai told me yesterday... he knows about everything. At first I was worried about what he'd do with that information but he swears he'll tell no one.
"Ari are you even listening" Selene then says after a while. I avert my eyes to the screen and nearly fall out my seat at the sight in front of me.
"Sel you just flashed me what the fuck" I utter staring with wide eyes as Selene puts her boobs away.
"Ari relax it's nothing you haven't seen before" she utters causing me to smile. It's true, we've seen everything back in the facility. There were shared bathrooms.
"Guess you're right" I respond before we both burst out laughing.
"Ari can I ask you something" she finally says as our laughing subsides.
"Sure" I answer although I'm a bit skeptical. She's probably noticed somethings on my mind, she knows me very well.
"Is something bothering you Arianna, you don't seem like yourself" she asks just as i expected her too. I sigh with a smile full of self pity before answering.
"There is something" I respond staring directly into the camera. I want to tell her all the details so desperately but it's too risky. She's already a runaway from Anotaly, I wouldn't want her getting involved and knowing her she'd fly back over in a second if she Knew I'd be in danger.
"Ariana I should slap you right now, you know you can tell me what's going on. I know how you are, you take everything on by yourself" she says calmly although it feels like I'm being scolded. This girl has always acted like an older sister to me and I have no complaints about it.
"Sel just hear me out for a second" I mumble avoiding eye contact with Sel. I already know she's glaring at me but she doesn't respond so I continue.
"Something is going on, something big. But I can't tell you because I don't want you in danger. I'll handle it I prom-" I'm cut off by Selene.
"ARIANNA CELESTE MORETTI" she yells before crossing her arms. "You better tell me right now what's going on, or I'm flying over there today" see what I mean.
"Not this time Sel, I can't" I mumble in response feeling a huge pang of guilt rise up inside of me.
"Arianna if you're in danger tell someone, I don't have time for your crap Anna. Why do you feel the need to carry the world on your shoulders.. why Anna" she utters as her eyes begin to water. Oh Sel..
I open my mouth to reply but I'm stopped by a loud knock at my door. "Anna I'm coming in" Alexander's voice comes through before he opens the door.
"Did you hear me say yes to you coming in" I turn in my swivel chair to face Alexander who's in gym clothes. He's always at the gym or killing someone.
"No and don't care, dad wants to speak-" he's cut off by Selenes voice coming through the phone.
"Is that your dumb brother with anger issue ari" Selene asks causing me to let out a snicker. Alexander's eyebrows furrow before he marches over to where I'm sitting to observe who I'm talking to.
"Are you talking to your annoying, whiny bitch of a friend Arianna" Alexander responds as my eyes go wide. I know he did not just call Selene a bitch.
I go to answer but Selene beats me too it. "Hey dickhead you're gonna regret ever calling me a bitch, prepare to face the consequences when I see you again" Selene responds clearly growing agitated.
I look up at Alexander who is simply smirking. "Did you hear that buzzing Anna, must be a fly in here" Alexander responds completely ignoring Selenes threat.
"HOW DARE YOU-" Selene begins to rant but I end the call before sighing.
"She's annoying but as I was saying dad wants to talk to you" Alexander utters before staring at me for a few seconds. His gaze is intense so I avert my eyes elsewhere.
"Okay I'm coming" I respond before getting up and following him however he stops before reaching the door.
"Did anything happen to you while you were taken Arianna" Alexander suddenly asks keeping his back to me. I'm taken a back by his question, am I seriously that transparent.
"Well I was slapped in the face but apart from that no" I answer as quick as possible to avoid any suspicion.
I watch as Alexander clenches his fists before relaxing. "Did you encounter Anotaly" he then asks, his voice dropping a few octaves deeper.
I stay silent for a few seconds replaying the events of that day. "Arianna, I'm not going to push you for an answer but please, please don't shut me out" Alexander asks looking over his shoulder at me.
"Thank you Alex" I whisper out keeping my head fixed on the ground. Damn it Alex, why do you have to be so smart. Maybe I should just tell them, then we can all go through it together.. but no. Anotaly will instantly notice a change in their behaviour and have his men target them. Fuck, my mind is a mess right now.
We stay in silence as I follow Alexander downstairs and to the front room where my father waits with Francesso, Alessandro and Lorenzo.
"Don't you have your own house" Alexander tells Francesco who simply narrows his eyes at Alexander. He's got a point, they are here a lot.
"My heart hurts when I'm far away from my sweet boy Lorenzo" Alessandro utters in a light tone making me chuckle. Alessandro leans his head on Lorenzo's shoulder only for Enzo to jab him in the ribs. I'm really sensing the love there.
"What did you want to talk about" I say the second I sit down next to Alexander who already looks bored.
"Well Arianna, I've been thinking. You were taken too easily, i think you're becoming rusty" My father states completely shocking me.
"WHAT" I utter my voice coming out louder than expected. By this point Alessandro is having a full blown laughing fit with Francesco even letting out a laugh. I turn to my right to see Alexander avoiding eye contact at all costs then turn back to see Lorenzo with a neutral expression. Well nothing unusual there.
"I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here dad" I respond before crossing my arms.
"He's saying you're weak" Alexander states from beside me. What the heck am I hearing right now.
"No Alexander hush, that's not what I'm saying. I just simply think you need to top up your combat skills that's all" My father says showing me a half smile whilst scratching the back of his head. This is embarrassing.
I mean it makes sense though, I'm a highly trained killer yet I keep getting kidnapped, blown up, shot at. It wouldn't hurt me to train a bit more.
"So you're saying I need to go through some training to top up my skills" I say uncrossing my arms. My father begins to nod his head.
"Exactly that. You'll be doing a 2 mont training scheme to sharpen your skills, not only you but Kai, Reign, Remy, Luciano, Luca, Leonardo, Federico and Alexander as well" my father states returning to his serious mode. Not only will I have to re train but I'll have the most annoying members of my family right there with me. Great.
"Wait I didn't-" Alexander suddenly sits up but with one glare from Lorenzo he shuts up.
"Don't tell me you forgot our conversation already" Lorenzo asks staring intensely at Alexander.
Alexander doesn't reply but he remains quiet so I'm assuming he remembers.
"Oh and Arianna. You'll be starting today with a mock match against Federico" dad says before standing up.
