Chapter Six

Scarlet tossed and turned without much success. Her heart was filled with pain. How can her father do this to her? And can she, for the sake of her father, do what he is asking of her? What happens to all the dreams she has harbored for so long?

Though she had decided to come home after graduation for the sake of her father, whom she worships, and for Mario,her adorable brother,she had secretly devised a plan to go back to Canada to continue her medical practice after Mario had successfully taken over the family business. She was so sure that she could pull it off. And now this!

Scarlet put her head in her lap and wept inconsolably. As she wept,her green eyes began to turn yellow, and out of frustration, she gave out a loud shout. Suddenly, all the objects on her vanity table began to shake, and she continued shouting; all the bottles shattered with a loud bang in all directions. At With the sound of the shattering, Scarlet suddenly stopped, and everything stood still. She was scared. Was it her that made that sound, and what's with shattering? Who am I? She shut her eyes tightly, curled herself into a tiny ball, and fell asleep, exhausted.

While Scarlet was crying and shouting, sparks were emitting from the room and could be seen by passersby in the mansion. For the old servants,it was not a new thing, but for the relatively new ones, who were already scared and asking in whispers what was happening, they rushed through their chores, afraid to be caught in what they did not know and to go to the safety of their quarters.

Leonardo and Diego, who had remained in the same sport since Scarlet ran inside, felt the electricity in the air and knew that she was going through something that started with mixed feelings towards her quarters.

"What are we going to do, Diego? We need to convince her for her safety, and we must do it quickly." "Papi, I was just thinking the same thing. How do we go about it? You know how stubborn your daughter can be. Remember when she set her mind to go to school in Canada? We had to give in eventually".

"This involves her life and future. I indulged her because there was nothing at stake then,but not this time! Where is Marilo? When was the last time you heard from her?"

Diego looked at his friend with trepidation. Any mention of Marilo can raise the hairs of any human.

"Do we have to go down that road? Papi, please, let's try convincing her again".

“I know she will come in as a last resort. We need to get her on standby in case we do anything. Let's look for her now."

"Okay, I will send her a message. The last time I heard from her, she was in the Asphalt. I hope she is still there".

"Do that, and let me know first thing in the morning, and tell her to be on standby. We may be needing her soon".

"Copy that, Papi. Let's call it a night. We don't want your blood pressure to shoot up".

Leonardo laughed at his friend 's theatrics.

"What's blood pressure? Do we look like humans even if we try to imitate their feeble ways?" "To the world we are in, we have to behave like them to avoid suspicion. And blood pressure is their favorite line when they think of people their age". Diego said it with a straight face.

"I am sorry, Diego. Are you tired? Because of me, you left everything to be here. Do you wish to be somewhere else?"

“What are you talking about, Papi? We are sworn brothers, no matter how many lifetimes we are given. For this one, we will be together. Maybe I will reconsider the next." Diego replied to his friend with a grin.

While exchanging words,they began to undergo some elemental changes. Leornado began to emit some red lights right from his forehead down to his toes, and his eyes, which were usually brown, began to show the characteristic amber of the ruling clan. The change in Leonardo echoed in Diego, and his eyes changed automatically to fiery red—the generals and keepers of destinies.

Leonardo had more control and quickly recollected himself, returning to his normal quick demeanor.

"Go to Nana quickly before a servant sees you”. "Yes, my Lord!" Diego bowed and walked down to his quarters, where his wife was.

Nana was already waiting, knowing instinctively what had transpired. At the sight of her husband, whose eyes were still glowing, she hugged him, and he gradually began to calm down, and his expression changed slightly to his docile look.

"I am okay, my dear; let's go inside." Unconvinced, Nana released him and looked at him with a shake of her head. "No, you are not; the last time this happened, it took me three days to calm you down". “Not this time, my dear; I am really alright". "If you say so, come." They held hands and walked inside, shutting their door.

Leonardo remained on the balcony, wondering what to do. "Estelle, why did you do this to me? I am still waiting, and for the next two lives, I will wait. Even if this is not what you wanted, did you have to leave so early? What makes our daughter happy? Who is going to guide her? Do you know you were selfish? In our next life, I will be the first to go, so you know exactly how it feels".

After the ranting, he felt much better and walked towards his apartment with a spring. Looking at him, you wouldn't know he was approaching seventy.


Antonio and Carla Rossi felt inadequate when their son walked out on them during dinner. Holding each other on their massive bed, they looked at the ceiling and prayed silently for their son. That everything works out and that no misfortune comes to him. If anything happened to him, they wouldn't survive. He was their life. After quietly pondering, they all fell asleep, still holding each other.

Guilt was eating Lorenzo. But what could he have done? Since childhood, honor was the only thing he knew, and every year since he was fifteen, the oath of secrecy had been renewed, and telling Allessandro about his fate was not his place. He is just the guardian of the secret. Anything else will be dead. He was just waiting for the right time to actualize his dreams, and the oath was just a small thing. He had to gain his uncle's trust and show him he had been trustworthy all these years. He cannot allow any sort of guilt to thwart his ambition. With that concluded, he moved resolutely to his apartment. For him to reach his apartment, he had to pass through Alless'. He paused outside Alless' door to listen for any sort of noise, but he could not hear anything. He shrugged and left, whistling.

In Alless’s apartment that same night, Allessandro felt as if the walls of the mansion were closing in on him. He paced back and forth and could not shake the feeling of unreality that was swallowing him up. How could his father and mother keep such a deep secret? What do they mean they were not what people thought they were? He had begun to weave his dreams around Scarlet. He was just waiting for the right opportunity to go look for her, and now I can’t just stay here and do nothing. I am Allessandro Rossi, and there is nothing yet that I have wanted and not gotten. Picking up his discarded jacket, Alless walked towards the doors of his apartment while dialing Edwardo’s number.

“Edwardo, please come back to the mansion; I need to be somewhere fast.” Alless continued walking towards the main entrance while speaking.

On the other side of Verona, Edwardo was about to pierce through the redhead, whom he had managed to get into bed after a lot of coaxing. He remained suspended on top of the beautiful redhead and could not take his eyes off her ample breasts with erect nipples. “Do I need to come right now, Alless? I was on top of something.” Edwardo tried to maintain an even tone, desperately trying to hold onto his remaining shred of self-control. What can a man do when he had his dick at the entrance of a honey pot? “Now Edwardo! I give you ten minutes to reach here”, Alless barked into the phone as if it were a living thing. “Ok, Alless, I will be there in a jiffy.” Edwardo struggled out of bed with the phone in his ear, dragging the bedding with him.

"Please, babe, I have to be somewhere right now. Dress up; let me drop you off.”

Edwardo pleaded with the redhead, who had remained quiet all this while. “I am really sorry. Please, can we reschedule this? I really like you. But for now, duty calls”. “Are you sure you will finish what you started next time? The way I see it, the person on the phone will always be number one for you”. The redhead, who had sat up on the bed, looked at Edwardo with an arched brow while her nipples, which were still erect from arousal, beckoned temptingly at Edwardo. He felt himself rising again but stamped down the urge with the grit of his teeth. “Don’t worry, the next outcome will be very different." Saying that, he knelt on the bed and took a suckle at one erect nipple while squeezing the other breast. Moving from the breast, he gave her a deep kiss on the mouth and placed his forehead on hers in silent apology. "Come, let’s go”.

Alless waited in the car park impatiently for Edwardo, who pulled into the driveway five minutes later with a screech.

“You are late." Alless said. “Hmm, if you knew how fast I drove here, you wouldn’t be saying that. So what is the emergency?”
