Ciel's POV
I watched the view below me. I was 50,000 ft up in the sky. I can see the sun start to set across the horizon and it was mesmerizing. Suddenly all of my problems disappeared, even if just for a moment.
"Miss Gianni, we will be landing in Milan soon. Please fasten your seatbelt as we will be preparing to land on the runway in 10 minutes" I nodded. In 10 minutes I'll be home.
This is no longer your home ... oh how I've dreaded this. The feeling of anguish creeped in. For the last 12 years I've been away. Never to return until he deemed it appropriate to come back. He must have thought of me as his dog. Always at his beck and call. If he still believed that, he had another thing coming. I'm no longer the same child who would blindly obeyed him. I gritted my teeth.
You'll finally get so see her ... after all this time ... I smiled but deep down I was afraid of what was up ahead. Suddenly the future seemed uncertain.
I felt the jet slowdown and begin to descend. I closed my eyes. I was trying to concentrate of what I was going to do when I saw him. Suddenly the plane lands and comes to a halt. "Miss Gianni, we've arrived at your destination" I opened my eyes.
It's time. The air-hostess walked me to the door and bowed "Welcome home Miss". I walked down and the car was waiting. The chauffeur steps out and opens the door. He steps out of the car. The man who ruined me. My so called grandfather. A wave of anger washes over me.
"Welcome home Ciel" he smiles and attempts to embrace me. I glare at him and he stops dead in his tracks. "This is no longer my home, you made sure of that". I walk past him and head towards the car. The chauffeur opens the door and I get in.
The old man gets in. "Where to Master Stefano?". "Back to the manor". The chauffeur starts the car and drives back to the old castle. The drive to the manor is quite, none of us say a word.
We drive for 20 minutes and we're in front of the gates. The guards open the gates and we drive past the gardens. The maids are at the door ready to greet us, they bow "Welcome back Master Ciel".
"Where is she?" I ask. They stand up and look at one another.
"She's not here Ciel and you won't see her until you learn your place. I've had enough of your insolence. Do not forget I am still head of this family and your grandfather. You will respect me and this family do you understand?".
I turn around and ball my hands into fists. Calm down. I grit my teeth and ball my hands into fists. To hell with this man.
My feet move before I can think. I grab him by the collar and push him against the wall. I look at him dead in the eyes. I laugh. To hell with you.
"Grandfather? This must be some kind of sick joke. Don't forget you were the one that sent me away. You took the very little family I had left. No grandfather does what you did to me. I don't give a damn about you or your money or this fucked up family. You're as good as dead to me. The only damn reason I came back is for her."
I let out of breath. Fucking pathetic. I release him. His eyes are wide with shock. I walk up the stairs into my old room. It's the same as when I left it. I plunge myself into the bed and relax. I felt a small weight being lifted off my shoulders.
I look up at the ceiling. Why the fuck am I here? Why? After so many years he suddenly wants me to come back? Why now? I close my eyes and soon after exhaustion overcomes me and I drift off to sleep.
