NFTMB)Chapter 31
Victoria’s POV
(I killed her myself)
I’m sure Bianca didn’t mean any harm by what she just said, judging from the way she spoke and all.
She seemed like a nice girl.
Alessandro on the other hand, that bastard just threw me to the wolves to be devoured.
“You’re so pretty”. Bianca said to me as she stared at me like I was the seventh wonder of the world.
“Thank you”.
“So, how did you and my brother meet?”. Bianca asked enthusiastically.
I looked at Alessandro who still stood behind Bianca with his arms folded, as he watched our interaction with a smirk on his face.
I’m sure he wanted to see me humiliate myself in front of his sister, Bianca.
“He employed me as his nanny for Matteo”. I replied to her.
Who knows what she might be thinking of me?.
She must really think she was right by addressing me as a whore.
Her brother’s pregnant whore.
“Whoa, bro, you got your nanny pregnant? Don’t you ever stop?”. Bianca turned to speak to her brother as she pointed a well manicured finger at me.
Alessandro shrugged his shoulders before speaking.
“Yeah, it just happened”.
“It just happened? Sanny, Valentino and Niccolo will freak out, mother will lose her mind and don’t get me started on uncle Fabiano, he’ll be enraged. Everyone will lose their minds over this! What have you done?”. She scolded him like she was older than him.
She might be nice but I didn’t like the way she was speaking about me, like I was beneath them.
“Stop fucking yelling at me, Bianca. Don’t forget who you’re talking to! Nobody cares what Fabiano thinks, especially me! I do whatever the hell I want, with whoever the hell I want and certainly whenever the hell I want to. You all don’t control me. Nobody does!”. He threatened and yelled at his sister right in my presence.
I’m just glad that he kind of defended me, our baby and whatever it is that we had in a way.
I still noticed her pointing her finger at me and I didn’t like it, not one bit.
“Please, stop pointing your finger at me. I’m right here, you know. You don’t have to speak so low of me in my presence”.
Bianca’s face flushed red at the realization that I was calling her out on her rude remarks and actions.
The girl was the walking image of a spoiled brat who wasn’t particularly a bully or a bad kid. Just rich and spoiled.
“Oh my God! I’m so sorry, forgive me. It’s just that you don’t understand our family”. She pleaded with me.
I don’t know how I feel about her.
She’s hyperactive and quite brave to speak to Alessandro the way she did.
“But, Alessandro, they’ll all be arriving tomorrow. How do you explain this to them?”. Bianca softly asked this time around without pointing her finger at me.
“Same way I did to you. Her name is Victoria, she’s pregnant for me and we’re going to get married soon. See? There’s nothing difficult. It’s not rocket science”. He said casually as he walked to a seat in the far corner of the room and sat down.
“What?!”. Bianca exclaimed.
Wow, she didn’t even know. Which means that his entire family didn’t know about this marriage thing.
“You’re getting married again?!. Good lord! I’m too jet lagged and tired for all of these, Sanny. What is wrong with you?”.
Bianca seemed really tired as she rubbed her hands over her face with a tired expression.
“That’s my decision and that’s the law. You all should get used to it”.
“But what about Roberta? She’s still missing and technically you’re still married to her”. Bianca said with a toss of her arms.
So, the first wife hasn’t been found yet? Strange. Alessandro seemed like a highly connected man. He knew things and he had ways of knowing things that he wanted to know.
“Roberta won’t be an issue anymore. We aren’t married anymore, so don’t bother about her”.
There was a tone to which he concluded that statement which caught not only my attention but his sister’s attention too.
They were communicating through their eyes as I watched them simultaneously.
Something was going on. Something fishy. Something that I wasn’t supposed to know.
Their eye talk continued for a while till Bianca looked at me and signaled her brother’s eyes to me to which he shook his head in a no manner.
Again. Fishy.
“Ohh okay, Alessandro. I’m tired now. I’ll retire to my room to rest. How do I locate which room is mine?”. She immediately felt tired after whatever contact they had with their eyes. Strange.
“Amara will guide you”. Alessandro said richly.
I don’t know why but I didn’t like him calling her name. I didn’t like the two of them together. Even the way she called her name made me look at him immediately.
They seemed so close and so intimate. Well, what do you expect from a boss who has been screwing his maid. My inner self is vexed.
“Okay, sanny. Bye, Victoria. I promise we’ll hang out sometime but right now I need to rest!”. She yelled out as she was already out the door.
I made a face as I wondered when she asked to hang out with me or when I agreed to hangout with her.
Weird, but all the same, I replied to her so as not to seem rude.
“Bye!”.
Alessandro banged the door after her exit as he faced me with that devilish smirk on his face.
I just felt like smacking it out of his face and onto the floor.
“That wasn’t so hard now, was it? You just met your sister in law”.
“Enough with your jokes and taunts, Alessandro. Let me go! Your sister already said it now, your family won’t accept me”.
“I don’t care what my family thinks. Think back and look clearly, I’m not exactly the obedient looking kid. I will marry you and that’s final”.
I was really getting tired of this back and forth banter concerning marriage.
“And I said no! I have rights as a citizen and as a human being. And I know them very well, which means that you can’t take them away from me”.
“You never learn, Victoria. Don’t question my orders. We’re getting married. End of discussion”. He said and turned towards the door to leave.
“When I finally get out of here, you just wait. I’ll sue you!”. I threatened him while pointing a finger at him.
That seemed to stop him in his tracks.
“You’re never leaving here, except it’s in a body bag”.
The wind was knocked out of me by his words.
What?
“What the hell are you talking about?”.
“You only get to leave here the only way Roberta got to leave”.
“Roberta was lucky enough to escape, you lunatic! What the hell are you talking about?”. Why was he trying to scare and deceive me?
Everything happened in a flash.
One second he was standing at the door with his back to me then the next second he was at my side with his hand tightly wrapped around my throat.
“You never learn your lesson, do you? Lunatic? Really now? Perhaps you’d like to see what a lunatic really looks like”. He said tightening his hold on my neck the more.
It was painful and I was finding it difficult to breathe.
“Alessandro, stop! You’re going to kill me!”. I said as I hit my hands repeatedly on his.
“That doesn’t sound too bad nor would it be too much of a loss”.
My eyes widened in panic and fear. He was going to kill me.
I tried to scream for help but my voice was muffled by his large hand covering my mouth.
“No yelling, Victoria. My sister is asleep”. He said casually like we were discussing the weather meanwhile he was trying to strangle me.
I was slowly starting to see dots now and felt very light headed. I was about to lose consciousness.
My mind reminded me of a tactic to get him to leave me alone.
The baby. He must have forgotten that I was pregnant.
I mustered the little strength I had left.
“Alessandro, your baby dies if I die”. I said weakly.
In an instant, his hand was gone and I could breathe again.
It worked.
“Shit! Don’t test me, Victoria. The only way you get to leave is in a body bag just like Roberta”.
It felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on me.
Roberta was dead?
“No. She’s not dead, she’s just missing”. I slowly said with much difficulty as speaking was very painful for me. I slowly rubbed my sore and painful throat as I glared daggers at him.
Alessandro laughed like I had cracked the biggest joke of the century.
“Don’t be a fool, Victoria. If we’re getting married soon, I believe you should know who you’re marrying. Don’t you think?”.
I was confused.
“What are you talking about?”.
“Roberta is dead. I killed her myself”.
Oh no! What did I get myself into?
