The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal

Sixteen

De Luca

These two women are going to be the end of me. For the millionth time, I wonder why I agreed to host them. After getting a really nice bath from Marianna, I thought the rest of the day was going to go smoothly. I had even decided to follow the doctor's orders and take a nap. I was in bed trying to summon sleep when all of a sudden I heard a scream. At first I thought it was Marianna and that someone was attacking her, so I jumped out of bed. But because of my shoulder, my movements were too slow. On my way out I saw Nev rushing towards Carina's room. It didn't hit me that was her room until I got there. And the scene awaiting me there is not what I expected at all.

Both Marianna and Carina have bloody lips, their clothes are all shaggy and don't even get me started with the hair. I immediately know they were fighting and judging by where Paulo is, I'm thinking he intervened but not to stop the fight. The idiot is always ready to jump into Marianna's defense. That I understand, in fact their little fights don't bother me anymore. What I want to know is who this strange guy is and why he's in my house after I gave my men strict orders not to let anyone in. Also, why is he pointing a gun at Marianna.

"I asked who the fuck you were"

"Name's Damian Venturi and I'm Cara's boyfriend"

"Cara?"

"Yes, Carina. I call her Cara because, well, she is such a darling, don't you think?" he asks smiling.

"Okay, Who let you in?"

"That is not the point here. See I don't like it when someone is pointing a gun at my girlfriend so if you could tell your guy to take that away, I will be really grateful. I also don't like guns so the longer we keep standing here, the higher the chances that someone might get hurt"

"Are you issuing threats in my house?" I take a step forward menacingly. Does this guy know who he's talking to? I hate dealing with idiots like him.

"Now this is just unfair. How am I the only one defending Carina?" craning his head he asks Nev, "Can you take her side so we're even? I'm starting to get scared here and that's not good, seeing as my finger is on the trigger"

I see my mistake now. I've been walking around without my gun so people think they can do whatever they want in my house. If I had it, this imbecile wouldn't be smiling the way he is right now.

"Drop your guns. Both of you. I won't ask twice" the fact that they have the audacity to hesitate confirms that I've been too lax of late. Something has to be done about that.

"You first" Paulo says

"Nah Uh. You started it so you first"

Are these fuckers serious? "Nevio, lend me your gun. Will you?"

"No way Chris. I've already cleaned up five bodies today, and I have no intention of cleaning more" Nev replies and I'm about to tell him to fuck off when he takes the gun Paulo is holding away from him. His movements are so fast that the guy is momentarily shocked because he hadn't seen that coming. I turn my head to the intruder who lowers his gun before I speak. I don't know but this guy looks awfully familiar. Like I've seen him before but I can't remember where I saw him.

"Great, now let's start from the beginning. What the fuck were you two fighting about this time?"

"Why don't you ask her what you were asking me earlier" Marianna quips folding her arms over her stomach. I honestly don't know what she's talking about and I don't have time to figure it out so I turn my gaze to Carina. I think she looks a little scared but look is gone leaving me wondering if I'd imagined it.

"Can we talk? Privately?"

"No way, say it whenever you have to say right here so we can all hear about it. I want everyone to know what a nasty little slut you are"
