The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal

Ten

Marianna

           I can't stand living in the same house with that witch. She's driving me crazy. Already, she has everyone eating out of the palm of her hands. Aside from baking cupcakes for these morons, she's been serving them and playing miss goody two shoes. Yesterday she dressed like a slut and opened a car wash. These idle assholes spent all day watching her wiggle her ugly ass while she cleaned their cars. The day before that? She asked them if they had any dirty laundry. It's as if she wants to be besties with everyone she meets.

And I hate that she can do whatever she wants. All the men in this house have been keeping a distance from me because De Luca told them to. He doesn't want anyone getting close to me so they wouldn't spill any secrets. Which would make sense if they acted like the De Luca organization. But they don't. I've been here for over a week and if I didn't know who they are I would think this was a frat house - like the Americans call them. All they do is eat, sleep then wake up to do it all over again.

Padre sure runs a tight ship. His men barely have time to eat because they're always busy running around. I can't tell you who's who since they always come and go. De Luca's men? I think they're idiots. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're lining up every night outside Carina's room. Did I mention what a slut she is? Oh my God, I don't think I can live here for six months. I need to do something, fast. De Luca has been acting weird. I'm sure he's hiding something down at the basement.

When I bumped into him earlier today, he looked tense. If I can find out what he's hiding, it might lead me to a bigger catch. Something I can give to Padre so he'd leave me alone. I preferred the other times when all I had to do was seduce our rivals and after I'm done with them, I would walk away. I honestly still don't understand why I have to live in this house for the next six months. I could have seduced De Luca without moving into his house. I've thought about it for a while and I've come to the conclusion that something is fishy. So before I get any information for Padre, I'll get to the bottom of him sending me to live here.

Today I didn't feel like going down to dinner. I'm in my room just browsing through my Instagram when I hear voices outside. I normally wouldn't be bothered to listen in but I am here to spy. Jumping out of bed, I stand beside the door and open it slowly, just a tiny crack in order to hear the voices better. Lucky for me, it's De Luca and his right hand who I found out is called Nevio. They're talking about some shipment that's supposed to come in tomorrow.

"This is the biggest shipment so I'll have to come with. I want no mistakes Nev. We've already lost a lot"

"Okay. I'll try my best to make everything go smoothly"

They continue to talk about where they'll meet, what time and even which cars they'll take. It's a little weird that they're planning something like that out in the open especially with me around but then again maybe they don't think I'm in my room. Closing the door, I sit back down on my bed. That was a lot of information I just got. De Luca said this will be their biggest shipment. I'm sure that if I tell Padre what I just heard, he'll be happy. I might even convince him to leave me alone and have Carina do the rest.

Early the next morning, I leave my room with a spring on my step. After sending Paulo out, I'm waiting for him to come back with good news. He's been gone for over an hour and I think he'll be here soon. Not even Carina who is in the kitchen preparing breakfast will spoil my mood.

"Well someone looks happy today. Who was it this time? Your usual toy boy Paulo or one of De Luca's men?"

"Fuck you" I tell her going straight to the fridge. I'm pretty sure there's a cake in here somewhere.

"Sorry Mari, but you're not my type"

"I know. You like the ugly ones who are just like you. Right?"
