Annetta's POVIntimidation was an exaggeration to use as a term to describe what I felt right now in this moment. In fact, I felt overwhelmed. Perhaps it was because I haven't got the slightest idea how he would react if he saw me right now or the fact that I wasn't prepared for any kind of reaction. Yes, I anticipate rage, anger, frustration but that's the problem.
I need to be more open minded.
As my mother says, always take advantage of every single opportunities to freedom, that is if it is possible. Therefore, if all hell breaks lose today, I will be creating a beautiful massacro.
That's why I ran away from Fabio as much as I could, because I was taking advantage of every-
Yeah, you get what I mean.
My breath halts as I feel a presence, an ominous one, one too familiar to me because I've been around it way too many times. I was too confident with myself when I said I wasn't intimidated but I was, only the slightest. But I couldn't help it when he stood in front of me with a deathly glare!
Growing up, I've learned to be disciplined by Destefano only because he wanted to set a straight path for me and my future, which was a positive outcome because I learnt well. It was stage in my life where I learnt from my mistakes, big or small. And after, Destefano would reward me which I take as an accomplishment. However, today did not feel like it was discipline day, today was definitely death day.
I stood up and watch him as his dark and spiteful glare descends on me, I return it with a bored expression because although I was scared, a tiny bit, I loathed the idea of manifesting it because he would definitely take advantage.
"Twenty three years of life. So young." He murmurs, instantly drawing my attention, something about his tone was unsettling. "You've yet to explore. Sweetie, I always encourage you to be ambition but careful on where you tread because life can take a turn. You have a gift, so why aren't you afraid of the one thing that is in the way: death?"
"Death?" I purse my lips as my brows drew into a furrow, I lift my shoulders up tiredly as I drop it with a bored shrug, "Why should I be afraid? Who is devising a futile plan of killing me? Come on, I ought to know so I can kill them first."
Frustration evident across his face but he doesn't act upon it, all Destefano ever does is stand in a place too close to me, glowering, like he was the one that wanted to kill me. He ignores my remark and begins to saunter to me. I cross my arms against my chest and lean on one foot as I observe him, his menacing eyes burrows into mine once he reached close enough for me to figure out how outraged he was.
He was very angry.
His eyes twitched with rage as he scans my profile, I blink up at him and breath nonchalantly but his breath was exasperated, like he was itching to act impulsively. "Where were you? What kind of fucking game are you playing Annetta?"
"Game? I'm not playing a game."
"Then what the fuck are you doing?" He yells, "Where is the hard drive you were supposed to attain?"
"Oh, that?" I scoff as my right brow elevates, "I didn't bother. That was a ridiculous approach."
"What?" He spits, "Are you insinuating that you were caught? Or you were incapable?"
"No." I lied. My gaze darts towards him as I chuckle dryly, "I just think it's a stupid way of trying to steal something that remarkable from the Lombardi's just like that." I reason with him even though that was not the exact reason, as I did, for a matter of fact managed to get caught red handed trying to steal something so important to those people. His suspicions were correct but I was not going to confirm it. Destefano only blinks at me incredulously, like the idiota he was, never understood something until it was explained to him thoroughly. "We have opportunities, fun opportunities, no?"
