Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere

55

MARIANNE

I was lucky enough to have come across Enzo driving back home so he volunteered to drive me back home.

I can't believe that prick head asked me to get out of his car, he didn't care about the consequences of sending me out on the streets knowing fully well that I am not familiar with this vicinity.

I sincerely don't get the reason why he suddenly got so mad and sent me out of his car! I was only trying to explain and defend myself but he wasn't just ready to listen to me.

So what if Enzo had not showed up? I would have been walking on the road side like a lost animal!

The most funny part of it all was I was either with my phone or my wallet that contained my debit card and a few cash.

Having that in hand won't make me completely stranded, I could have gotten a taxi or lodged at a nearby hotel.

It was after he drove off that I realized I came out empty handed.

I was even thinking that he might have pity and reverse back but he didn't not until Enzo luckily showed up.

Surprisingly, Enzo wasn't alone this time, he brought a man whom he introduced to me as a chef and also a servant.

Finally, Ricardo heeded to my request after numerous arguments and shouting.

Enzo arrived back home and he was able to gain entry easily. The only way one can have access into the house is by making use of a remote control on the gate. Only Ricardo and Enzo had the remote so I couldn't leave the house when I wanted to.

I would always be locked up like a prisoner!

When we went in, we were surprised to find out that Ricardo wasn't back yet.

He literally drove off and Enzo showed up five minutes after Ricardo abandoned me so he should have returned home by now.

How come we got home before him?

"Are you sure he didn't go somewhere else?" I asked Enzo as soon as we got in.

"No, if that's the case, I would have known about it already. I'm going to try calling him," Enzo replied as he began dialing Ricardo's number right in my presence.

Ricardo didn't pick up the call to our dismay.

What could be holding him back though?

Did he drive back to where he dropped me off and began searching for me? I doubt that, I know that jerk would never do something like that, he doesn't care about anything that happens to me so I ruled that out as the reason why he wasn't back home yet.

He must have gone somewhere else, that's the only reason he couldn't think of me.

Suddenly, the rain began falling unexpectedly and it started heavily.

So had it been, I never came across Enzo, I would have suffered in the rain I guess.

I would have gotten badly drenched and been left stranded in the rain.

Enzo kept trying to communicate with Ricardo but he wasn't answering his calls.

Did he intentionally send me out of his car because he had to go somewhere?

Whatever, I shouldn't be thinking about that jerk right now.

I returned to the sitting room and found Lanston standing at one corner of the sitting room obviously waiting for orders.

We already did an introduction back in the car so we both know our names.

Lanston looked so calm and gentle, I was expecting a female servant but I was still okay with him as long as we don't have problems.

"Hey, do you want to keep standing there? I should show you your room and the kitchen also. Follow me," I ordered as I began walking upstairs and he obeyed. I'm going to take him to one of the empty guest rooms. Atleast, it wasn't locked so it would be easy for us to gain entry into any of the guests' rooms.

Finally, I won't have to be all alone in this mansion once Ricardo is out, having someone else in the house makes me feel relieved now.

"This is your room, are you okay with it?" I asked him as soon as he entered the room.

"ofcourse I do, who am I to be making complaints, I'm so happy with this current room you have for me.

I promise to give you the best service, thanks so much." He looked very grateful to have a new room.

The guest room doesn't look like that kind of room meant for servants, it was looking very convenient.

Some would have preferred sending him to the storage or asking him to sleep somewhere that is not comfortable but I wasn't the type that acts like that.

"You should freshen up and come down downstairs too," I muttered and returned back to my own room.

Ricardo wasn't still back yet, why was I even worried and thinking about him?

The rain kept falling and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.

Atleast, Ricardo would be driving smoothly while the rain poured down heavily.

He is in his car so he has no problem at all!

Today was really a long day for me, if I had foreseen how this night was going to be like, I would have gladly just stayed back stubbornly.

I didn't even get to meet Emilia like I planned to, that stupid Catherine of a girl just ruined everything!

I wanted to take Emilia's contact information so I would be able to talk to her sometimes. It's been a while and I also understand how badly she wants to be let out of that prison she calls a mansion. Giovanni would never allow her to leave so it's better I just get her contact information and call her instead.

That is something I should have done before moving into this place but it actually skipped my mind.

Maybe I would get her contact information from Ricardo instead, I'm sure he must have a way of communicating with his sister.

I was still in deep thoughts while changing my dinner dress when I suddenly got reminded of Kathy.

My eyes widened immediately, she is still locked up in that basement, I doubt if something hasn't happened to her.

She has been in there for too long and I no longer hear her shouts or screams anymore.

I know she tried to take my life and deserves a severe punishment but she should be punished somewhere else.

I quickly freshened up and changed into one of my night wear, I then went to meet Enzo.

He was on call when I met him.

"Yes, we found her by the roadside and decided to bring her back home, we arrived like ten minutes ago." Enzo said over the phone and I immediately detected that he was talking to Ricardo.

He was finally able to communicate with him, where could he have gone to?

"No problem underboss," Enzo ended the call and faced me.

"That was Ricardo right?" I asked Enzo.

"Yes,"

"Did he go somewhere else or what?"

"He was actually searching for you without knowing I already brought you back home." Enzo replied to me and I furrowed my brows.

That can't be, Ricardo was searching for me?

"Wait, so..."

Enzo suddenly interrupts me, "He is on his way back already. I'm sure you came to meet me for some other reason, are you having any issues with the new servant?" Enzo asked and I immediately shook my head negatively. "Not at all, I actually came here because Kathy was locked in the basement. I'm sure that Ricardo must have told you about what happened right?" I asked him but the expression on his face shows that he knows nothing about what I was talking about.

"I'm sure you know Kathy right? She broke in here and tried to kill me, Ricardo showed up at the right time and took her to the basement where he tied and locked her up. She has been in there since morning, can you try checking on her or something? What if she has passed out?" I asked with concern.

"I'm sure Ricardo would know how to deal with that once he returns, I didn't receive any orders asking me to get rid of her from him so she is going to remain there till he decides what to do with her." Enzo answered simply and walked away. I exhaled sharply and left too,

I suddenly met Lanston already in the kitchen trying to prepare dinner, I had to join him immediately.

There are a lot of things I need to learn from him.

Lanston was very cool and polite, he wasn't that fun to be with because he wasn't the lively type of person but I still liked his personality.

I was the one doing the talking and also cracking jokes.

I told him about how I almost burnt down the kitchen because I was trying to cook and we laughed about it.

"So this is how you laugh and throw yourself at any guy you see right?" I suddenly heard Ricardo's voice and I turned immediately to see him standing at the door glaring at both me and Lanston. When did he return back?
