Captured by his allure (on going)

chapter seven

Alexia

"I'm not going into that house if blondie is in there, period." Leo had drove to a different location,the house looked even larger than the mansion where the party was held.

I sat at the backseat of his car,arms crossed with a dramatic pout on my face.

"Since when are you the one giving conditions?" He said clearly annoyed with my stubbornness.

"And why do you keep on insisting on holding me hostage? If you don't need me anymore,you would've killed me already." I said to him and he looked a little taken aback by my question as if he hadn't expect me to ask it at all.

"I never said I don't need you and neither did I say I need you."

"That's not answering my question Leo. Infact,the main question is how do you know Marco?" I asked, looking at him in expectation.

"Such a small world we live in right?" Now I was the one getting annoyed because of his answers.

"I hate you so much De luca,I hate so much." I said to him as I got out of the car and walked to the door in frustration. I would have badged in except the door was secured by a fucking scanner.

"So you know?" He said it more of a question than a statement.

"That you're De Luca,the one and only don of a mafia family? Yes I know what a monster you are." Before he could answer me, he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He looked at the screen for a second and his expression darkened.

"Nathalie will take care of you and we'll finish this conversation later." He muttered in a serious tone as he stood in front of the door and it opened automatically.

Nathalie walked out of the house as if on cue and signalled me to follow her. I watched as Leo sped off out of sight before following Nathalie upstairs.

It's like this woman was every where.

"How've you been?" I tried to make small talk but she ignored me and opened the first door on the left side.

"Sir Leo said that this will be your room from now own and everything is in there. Meals will be brought you daily so you don't have a reason to go out." She said dryly and disappeared down the hallway.

I thought we were somehow friends at least but I guess not.

I walked turned back to the room and my eyes were captured by the seventy two inch LED TV on the wall. I took the remote that sat on the bedside table and jumped on the bed with excitement. I clicked on Netflix and to my surprise it was already logged in.
Without wasting time I clicked on BoJack Horseman and cozied myself in the bed to enjoy the surreal humor animation.

                            ✷✷✷✷✷

Hours later and there I was watching episode after episode of my favorite adult animation. Nathalie had come into the room once with my dinner which I refused and requested her to only bring me a bowl of popcorns and she actually did.

It was late at night but I didn't care because I had completely nothing to do the following day or even days so why not stay up late?

I paused the animation for a second as I heard muffled sounds coming from the stairs. The voices got closer and it sounded like two people in a seriously heated argument.

"Hai iniziato tutto questo."
(You started all this)
I recognized the accent and voice as blondie's. I really wished I understood italian.

"Stai esagerando!"
(You're overreacting)
I would Identify that voice from anywhere,Leo.

"Non capisco perché la stai ancora tendon in vita!" (I don't understand why you are still keeping her alive) Blondie spoke out rather harshly.

"You clearly know it's my obligation to keep her far away from Diego. I'm protecting her Camille." At least the language changed to what I understand and I also couldn't stop myself from eavesdropping.

"She can protect herself Leo and you know it. Don't you see,she will destroy our marriage."

"There's no marriage to be destroyed Camille. I'm only tied to you by a mutual agreement." Trouble in paradise.

"I don't want her in my house Leo." Blondie said desperately and it really felt like the argument was about me.

"You know I'll still protect Alex whether you like it or not. Now shut up before you're the one leaving this house." Why did Leo want to protect me so much and who was this Diego guy?

"Non dirmi che stai sviluppando sentimenti per lei!"(don't tell me you're developing feelings for her) Blondie spoke out as if on the verge of breaking down.

"Now you're overthinking things." Leo shouted in more anger and I was surprised blondie hadn't received a slap from him yet.

"You didn't deny it so it's true." Blondie said painfully. I wish I heard understood the italian parts cause the whole point of the argument was not making sense to me.

"Vai a dormire!" ( Go to sleep) Leo said I'm a n uninterested tone.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Blondie asked whilst crying and sniffling.

"I have to wash off this dried blood from me first." Leo spoke as his voice faded signalling he was going away.

Have you ever eavesdropped on a conversation and regretted why you did it cause same. I was left confused and wanting to know about Leo's intentions more than ever.

But where was I going to find all the answers?

I feel like we're diving deeper and deeper 😈
