Sitted graceful on her late father’s favourite couch in his chamber, Arianna waited for what it is to come. A sly smirk plastered on her face as she caress the diamond petal of the necklace she was holding.
After her father’s last message for her, she had been looking for the simplest way to get back at Ugo but couldn’t. He was always watching her, making sure she never gets out of the house without been followed. And worst of it all, he monitors her phone life.
Getting freedom is never easy and that’s what gave her the idea of conspiracy.
With one of her father’s most trusted men standing by her side, she waited patiently for Ugo.
“Well, well” She intoned immediately Ugo entered “The master has finally arrived” she added with a sly smile.
Since Ugo had known his sister, she had never acted like this. Although, she use to be the annoying type and wants to get what ever she wants but that doesn’t lead her to be in her father’s chamber with one of his necklace on her hand.
“I won’t love to go into details” Arianna sat up “I will make it fair for you but you have to promise to be a good boy” She raised her brows “Or good man rather” she grinned.
“What’s all this about?” Ugo asked uninterested.
“It’s about sending you off my father’s inheritance” Arianna stated.
“What are you talking about?” Ugo asked confused.
“Don’t act like you don’t know about the deal your mother made” Arianna scoffed, rolled her eyes and crossed her legs “I just can’t stop wondering how you look so much like my father with the same blue eyes” She moved closer and pointed at his eyes.
Ugo smiled, he looked at the man standing beside Arianna and looked at the door. He did it again, this time his eyes were wider but the man didn’t moved. He didn’t flinch a muscle as he lazily moved his attention from Ugo back to the door.
“Leave us” Ugo angrily said.
Still yet the man didn’t move, he even refused to look at Ugo’s angry face as he stared directly to door.
“Salvo!!!” Ugo yelled “Get the fuck out of here” he ordered.
Arianna pout, she looked up at Salvo, her father’s most trusted Guard and grinned sheepishly. She blew hair off her face and looked at Ugo. With their gaze fixed for a while, she looked up at the man and the door.
Slowly like he became activated, Salvo bowed and walked away.
“Don’t go out, Just stay a few feets and be prepared” Arianna said.
“What the hell is going on here?” Ugo stands up “I ordered you and you refused?” His gaze narrowed in anger as glared at Salvo.
“You are no longer in charge, Ugo” Arianna said “I am”
The smile or any other playful expression vanished from her face as she became emotionless. It was just as if she never smiled few seconds ago or she doesn’t even know how to smile at all.
Her fierce gaze glared at Ugo who wouldn’t stop looking at Salvo then to Arianna.
“Quit the joke” Ugo snarled.
Arianna rolled her eyes, she scoffed before moving a bit closer to Ugo and gave an emotionless smile. Just as sudden as it had arrived, the smile vanished.
“I don’t know how your mother did it” Arianna said “But father knows whose child are you and you know that as well” she paused.
She didn’t go into details of telling him what he already knew like when His mother had brought him to Zeno when he was barely ten.
“Your father must look like Zeno” She called her father by his name “That why I want to make it easier for you”
“And so?” Ugo scoffed “So what if Zeno is not my father?” He fold his arms across his chest “I am still in control of all of them”
Arianna grinned, she picked her perfectly polished nails and started at his angry face. Even till that very moment, they way they resembles is still a huge shock to her.
“Take my father’s Diamond” She stretched the necklace to him “I will call a buyer so when you get the money, move away from her and start a life”
The anger on Ugo’s face was more than too much. Without saying anything, he brought his phone out from his pocket and began to dial something.
“You are not even my half brother, I even spared you after you killed my father and you want to control me in my house?” Arianna intoned.
She stood up and walked to him, not too close but from where they stood, they could reach each other.
“He tried to kill me first” Ugo defended “Even if, I don’t have to explain myself to you” he groaned.
Immediately, the door opened and two of Zeno’s men entered. There face were fixed on Arianna who acted as if she didn’t see them but kept smiling at Ugo.
“Last chance, Ugo” Arianna switched to her serious face “Take the diamond, start a life and never come near me or Go empty handed and still don’t come near me” she moved her neck to look well at his angry face.
Of no doubt, Ugo know that he had never been related to Zeno for anything. At first, he was extremely happy to have the ‘Alonso’s’ family tattoo with different colours and also allowed to use the family last name.
He thought Zeno really licked him until he was sent to Lu’s house. As if it wasn’t enough, he still tried to kill him in Arianna’s room but the Operation went for an unfortunate fell who happened to be at his previous position.
Deep down, he feel like he should not have killed Zeno but since Zeno wants him dead, killing h was the only option. He had always knew a day would come like this where is shelter would be destroyed, he just never expect so soon.
Since he believes he still have his Men except Salvo that had gone rouge, getting to use them to get what he wants would be the next.
“Lock her up” he said not looking at them.
Something like a low groan escaped Arianna throat, she looked at the men and shock her head with a smirk on his face.
“Since you refused to held to opportunity, I will choose for you” Arinna walked back to her seat “The him out, make sure he never comes back here”
Immediately, The men began to pull Ugo out. He didn’t even act like he was hurt or something, his face was just as emotionless as cold nothing.
From behind this shoulders, He looked at Arianna. For sure many things were going on his mind, even Arianna wasn’t comfortable.
“If he acts funny” Arianna said “Kill him”
