VERONICA

chapter 30

Ruggero.P.O.V

I woke up by my alarm, I shoot up straight and realize I'm still in the same clothe from night before. 

"Shit!" I groaned, I jump out of bed and walked still in a semi unconscious state,I feel for the shower handle into the bathroom. I turnedbthe ga dle to the left and adjust it to the perfect temperature, the sound of rushing water invigorate me, the first drops are bitterly cold but quickly become warm to the touch and soon warm stream fills the room and moisten my skin, I stripped down my cloths and stepped into the shower. The drops rush down, my body absorbing like a sponge.

After 20 minutes of shower, I'm forced to step out,  either as a result of time in the morning or Anna or my mother barging into my room. I emerged from the bathroom refreshed and walked into my closet and wore a light blue nailhead suit.

I walked downstairs towards the dinning room to meet Anna and my mom discussing. I walked silently to my chair and pulled out my phone and start scrolling.

Jake; I have a problem.

Me;what did you do this time?

Jake;nothing, but Kristen broke up with me.

Me;you guys where dating?

Jake;not exactly but some one told her I went to the party with my so called 'girlfriend' and she says this is over and I happen to know who told her.

Me;who?

Jake;and you still Veronica!

Me;you sure?

Jake;yeah I mean that woman is crazy as hell.

Me; whatever what ever relationship I had with that woman is over.

Jake;what were you talking about?

Me;I mean we are over.

Jake;what's happened all of a sudden you were too into her, who ended things?

Me;I did... And– my moment was broken by the piercing voice of my mom

"Good morning too you to son" she narrowed her eyes.

I  dropped my phone and stared at them all.

"Good morning ruggero" Anna said

"I wish o could say the same to you bit that would be lying and I detest lying" I said, my tone cold but perfectly controlled.

I heard my mother gasp "where are you manners that's not ways to speak to your future wife"

"She might be my future but not by choice and my manners where left back in Italy when you brought up this absurd idea"

My relationship with my parent hasn't been good ever since this deal stuff has being on, I hate the idea of them choosing who I'm to marry just for some million. They keep saying it was all for the good of the family but I was for their own favor since I took over I avoid all sort of contact with all my family both paternal or maternal.

"So che hai difficoltà ad accettare. Ma questo è per il bene do tutti, e so che col el tempo imparerai ad amarla e so anche che devi odiarmi in questo momento, ma devi capire che quello ha fattu tuo padre è per la famiglia." She said in Italian

( I know you have a hard time accepting, but this is for everyone's sake and I know that with time you will learn to love her and I also know that you must be hating me right now but you have to understand that what your father did was for the family)

I pulled the napkin from my legs and  slammed my hand against the table and stood up "Salva quello che era per la famiglia e quel ruolo ti definisci madre ma hai rovinato la mia vita e una madre non rovina  la vita di un figlio che dice che vuole she io lo chiami madre ipocrisia"

(Spare me that it was for the family and that shits... You call yourself a mother but you ruined my life and a mother does not ruin the life of her son who she says she loves, I call that hypocrisy ... mother)

She stood up also slamming her hand against the table ok the process."I know you are angry but even if you don't want it, I'm still your mother  and I demand respect"

"Spare those details please"

Someone cleared their throat from across the room "Sorry to interrupt sit but Miss Johnson is here" Matilda the head maid said beside her stood Bianca.

Don't get me wrong I have no physical or any attraction toward Bianca or any other woman working form me, I don't get why CEOs always sleep with their secretary or personal assistant or whatever, in my opinion I think is slightly unprofessional.

"How are you Miss Johnson?"

"I'm fine sir, everything is ready for the trip"

"I know, let's go"

"To Where" Anna quickly asked.

"To New York for a business trip" I said calmly, they both widened their eyes and looked at each other.

"But–But for how long will it take we came all the way just to be with you son you can't leave like this"

"Yes you can do whatever you want" I stepped out of house to car.

We drove to the back of an airport where my private jet was. I greeted the pilot with a nod and walked in and sat next to the window.

The jet was big jet with plenty seat room, better blanket, more amenities, hot good well served, attendant are more solicitous of your every need. They are served champagne and hot appetizer when boarding the plane and are always dressed by name, they are full bed with down comforter and pillows and rooms, designer amenity kit, four course meal with table cloths and real silverware and China 15"lcd tv, noise  cancelling headphones. The bathroom are the same as couch, but kept spotless and well stocked with lotions, colognes, razor and shaving cream Etc.

I looked out of the window, the clouds In the sky outside looking like white and light blue. The air conditioner is blowing air straight to my hair. I'm bored and have a slight of ache.

With all this going on I'm Tired already, I'm tired of everything and of all, of my parents, of Anna and especially of Veronica and I can't take a break because all the weight is on my shoulder. I did not ask for this but I hope that with this trip I will be able to clear my mind and think.

That's all I ask for uhh....
