I woke up in the morning feeling cold, I stood up and walked inside the bathroom and did my morning routine, got dressed, and opened the door. I saw Enzo there leaning towards the wall, sleeping uncomfortably. I noticed maids hesitating to wake him up, I bent down and shook his shoulder waking him up. He grabbed my hand kissing the back of it, I pulled my hand out, the hurt was evident in his eyes, I couldn’t see hurt in his eyes so I looked away.
He stood up and straightened his clothes, he opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off “I Want to leave, Can you please take me to my home?” I asked.
I can see him confused, but he didn’t say anything about it.
He turned around and walked off from there, tears were rolling in my eyes, I controlled myself and walked downstairs, There Andera, Edoardo, and Antia with sad expressions on their faces. It was so hard to have breakfast with them in this deafening silence, Enzo walked into the dining hall which made us look at him. I quickly lowered my head, I don’t want to look at him. It reminds me how stupid I was, I love him but I don’t know how to deal with the truth that he’s a mafia leader and he killed someone in front of me like it was an easy thing to do.
All I want is to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Enzo was silently having his breakfast as if nothing happened at all after our breakfast Enzo excused himself to take a call and it was hard for me to look at them who was opposite to me I don’t want to hurt them, I just want to leave this place. I stood up from my chair and turned around to go to my room, after reaching the guest room where I was yesterday I walked to the bed and sat down on it at the edge I was looking at my toes, Thinking about Enzo, I heard a light knock on the door I looked up to see Antia smiling at me, she walked towards me and sat beside me, she put her hand on my thigh. “I know what happened yesterday night, Not only me mom and dad also know that All I want to tell you are that whatever happens don’t forget that we are here for you. You can contact us at any time Venessa, your family” tears were rolling in my eyes, I hugged her and broke into sobs. She hugged me back and rubbed my back, we moved back and she wiped my tears “Don’t cry, It doesn’t suites you” She said.
She sighed, I glanced at her, “There is a reason behind everything Vennessa… Behind his behavior, there is also a reason… I’m always here to tell you about him, just call if you want to know the reason behind his behavior,” she said, smiling at me she left me alone with a question running in my mind.
What made him like this?
Later, A maid came to my room asking me to come downstairs. I walked downstairs and noticed Andera, Edoardo, Enzo, and Antia were standing at the entrance with our luggage, bodyguards were taking our luggage to the car. I walked towards them and stood in front of Andera. She hugged me “Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any help, please stay in touch even if you’re not with Enzo” I nodded, Edoardo squeezed my shoulder smiling at me”Take care child,” he said, Antia hugged me, “Take care of yourself?” she said, with a sad smile on her face I nodded and turned to Enzo who was quietly watching me, He turned around and moved out of the mansion.
***********
We were quiet in our entire journey to Los Angeles, No one spoke a word to each other.
It made it easy for me to stay away from him. It hurts… It fucking hurts not talking to him. I hate myself for doing this, but I can’t stay with him. he’s a killer, a Mafia don. Italian fucking mafia Leader. I can’t live with him.
He dropped me at my house, I asked him to send my luggage to my house. The next day they brought my luggage to my house. I resigned from my job and started working in a small cafe near my house as a waitress, again.
