Chapter 5
Third POV
Annabelle and Angelo may their way to the ballroom dance floor. Since kind of old school. One song was a waltz. The next song was pop, then hip-hop, electric, indie, etc. Everything was diverse so it made sense. Tracy was in a dark corner staring so hatefully. Monica walks towards her mother after being two hours late. She knew she was going to freak out on her. It was quite sad. "Mother."
What she didn't expect her mother to strike her. Nobody could see what just happen all expect one person or more than one eye. "Your fucking sister disrespects me in front of your brother, and father. And where and the hell were you. Your late you ungrateful bastard. I should have aborted your ass when I had the chance." Venom spilled out of Tracy's mouth. Monica never let one tear fall from her eye.
Annabelle places her head Angelo right shoulder. "You know Anna we meet before." She picks her head and looks at his eyes. She started to remember the voice on the phone, two years ago. I guess he saw realize who he was. She started to blush, and smirk. "I guess you got rid of the trash. I know I did." She laughs while he twirls her around, and bring her back to him. "Well, I had too. Now I'm glad little Annie."
Anna only knows one person that calls her that. It was a best friend from 20 years ago.
20 years ago.
Annabelle was standing at the front of her house. Her mother made her standout outside because she accidentally knocks out a cup of water on the floor., and it was 23 degrees outside. She had no coat, and she was hungry. At this time, they were living in New York, and it was during the winter.
"Again?" A little boy with deep sea-green eyes, and dark brown hair. Ten-year-old Angelo looks at his best friend Annabelle (Annie). He knows she was going through something because she was a little mature for a five-year girl.
He took his jacket off, and wrap them around little Annie. Smiling Annabelle kiss Angelo (Leo) cheek. She nodded her head, with a tear falling down her eyes.
"I don't get Leo why she doesn't she loves me. I'm her daughter too." Annie cries on Leo's shoulder. In her Jasmine onesie.
"It's okay little Annie I will always protect you from that demon." Leo put her on his lap, and wrap his arms around her. He held why she cries her pretty dark brown eyes out. He doesn't know long they sat there, but by then he woke up, little Annie was still in his arms.
He got up slowly making sure not to drop her. He walks to his house that he shares with his family. Maria during time came rushing downstairs. She had warm blankets ready for them. She made sure they were watching everywhere they go. So, she knew that cagna will get killed by her if she keeps harming this sweet angel.
"Leo go to bed, honey. I got her." Maria pat Angelo on top of his head.
"Leo?" Leaping into his arms Anna hug.
Tevin, and his father at the bar clinging their glasses together. "Finally."
Michelangelo comes around walking and greeting people, and some of the rivals. He finally sees his most trusted men. Making his way towards them, he stops and sees his son with Dave's daughter with his son Angelo. "Finally."
Alicia watches her friend with happiness in her eyes. She has been praying for Anna to find someone her. "Hello, Beautiful." Two bodies sandwiched Alicia.
"Gentlemen relax there enough for me to go around." Alicia waltz away from the guys.
The men follow behind.
