Blood Countess

Chapter 10

Kate's POV

We've been driving for 2 hours now and I'm already bored out of my mind.

"Elizabeth, where are we going?" I decided to ask her for the hundredth time.

"Patience, mi amore."

And silence once again. Great. 10 minutes of silence passed and we came to a stop at a private airport.

"Come with me." I followed Elizabeth to a guy in a uniform. Must be the pilot. They were talking in a language which is quite familiar but I can't put it out where I've heard it.

Elizabeth ushered me inside the airplane and I gawked at the sight of it. Just how much does this woman have?

"Close your mouth, mio caro." I followed her and she ordered me to sit.

"Elizabeth, you know I can't come with you. Coming to Rome has been my dream. Please don't do this. You're basically kidnapping me." She laughed as if what I said was the funniest thing she ever heard.

"Oh Kate, this? Kidnapping? Darling, no. You were always mine. Get some sleep. By the time you wake up, we'll be there."

"W-what?" I stuttered.

"Just sleep, mio caro." She kissed my forehead and somehow that gave me some sense of comfort.

I let sleep overtake me and eventually, I fell into the peaceful darkness.

------------------------------
I woke up to someone shaking me lightly.

"Mi amore, wake up. We're here." I opened my eyes slowly and realized we're in a different airport.

"Get up, mi amore. I'll let you rest when we arrive to our new home."

I'm still confused about everything that she has been saying. I got up and followed her out of the plane.

"Are we still in Italy." I asked her.

"Yes, mi amore. We are still in Italia. Now, come." She ushered me to a chopper. Goddamn! This woman and her fortune.

I was quite nervous about riding a chopper. Hell, it's my first time. As if she read my mind Elizabeth held my hand tightly in hers and whispered. "You'll be okay, mi amore. Don't worry."

After about 15 minutes, we arrived at an island with the biggest house. I mean mansion that I've ever seen. Elizabeth laced her fingers with mine and lead me inside.

"Welcome to my home, mi amore. And now, this will be your home as well." I looked at her skeptically and just ignored what she said. I was in awe at the interior of the place. More than ten maids welcomed us. Elizabeth introduced me to them in their language. "Lara, show Kate her chamber." A petite girl with a blonde hair and red eyes came forward and bowed in front of me. She nodded at me to follow her. "Kate, take a rest. I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast." I just nodded my head at her and followed Lara to my so-called chamber. This place is huge. It's like a maze. Lara finally stopped at a two-door room.

"Madame." She lead me inside.

"Lara, call me Kate. Madame makes me feel old."

"I'm sorry madame. But it's an order from countess Elizabeth."

I sighed. "Call me Kate when we're alone. That's an order."

She nodded her head. Poor girl. "There's a bell by your bedside. Ring it if you need me." I nodded and let her go so I can have my alone time. I stripped all my clothes until I was naked and fell to the mattress. This feels amazing. I can stay in this bed forever. And mind you, I like to sleep naked. I thought about everything that happened to me the past few weeks since I've met Elizabeth. I never wanted this but let's see where this leads us. My thoughts consumed me until I was too exhausted to think. I fell asleep with frustrated thoughts. What's gonna happen tomorrow?
