"Master.... miss Elena is here and with her luggage". Josh informed.
Angelo's expression changed, and he looked at Josh with a hint of surprise. "Elena's here?" he repeated.
Josh nodded. "Yes, Master. She just arrived."
Angelo's gaze lingered on Emily for a moment before he turned to Josh. "Show her in."
Josh nodded and left, leaving Emily wondering why Elena was there all of a sudden.
A few moments later, Josh returned with Elena who looked elegant and poised. Her long, curly brown hair swaying as she moved and her piercing green eyes seemed to scan the room before settling on Angelo.
Angelo furrowed his brows and immediately Elena barged inside with a smile on her face and she quickly hugged Angelo. He didn't hug her back though, then she retreated.
"Angelo," she said, her voice husky. "It's been a while."
"It's not even up to a week". Emily said in her heart.
"Emily, was it?, It's nice to see you again". Elena smiled and Emily smiled at her.
"What are you doing here?, You were supposed to be with Katherine". Angelo inquired.
"Katherine is fine, I'm not really needed there and besides Nora went in my place. Queen mother is mad at me, i had nowhere else to go so i came here". She explained.
"You may go". Elena told Emily and she looked at Angelo. He didn't look at her and she pursed her lips and left.
Elena smiled after that and sat on the bed, facing Angelo.
"We're gonna have so much fun gelo".
Angelo shrugged and muttered something before leaving.
Emily went back to the kitchen where bluey was already pacing around worriedly.
"You're finally out. I was really worried".
"I'm fine". Emily mumbled.
"What happened to your neck?". Bluey asked.
"Huh?".
"It's red".
"Don't worry about me". Emily mumbled.
"Okay...... Did I just see miss elena here?". Bluey whispered.
"Yeah". Emily frowned.
"What's with the frown?". Bluey chuckled.
"What? Nothing". Emily denied quickly making bluey laugh even more. "Stop laughing at me". Emily mumbled.
"You should really see yourself right now. You're all pout, are you jealous?. She's somehow close to master Angelo, they basically grew up together". Bluey said.
"Really?".
"Yeah, she's the queen mother's second child, you know Katherine and nora?". Emily nodded. "They're her sisters. The queen mother adopted master Angelo when he was a child and she raised them together". Bluey explained.
"You know so much about them...". Emily noticed.
"You can say i was born here. My mother and i were working here and i saw master Angelo when i was younger, he was so fun to be with, can you believe we were actually friends for a while?".
"No way". Emily exclaimed.
"Yes way....then something happened and his mother was killed, he witnessed the incident, he had a problem with his father, that's all i know about him". Bluey summarized.
"Wow.... I don't know what to say...
"Don't say anything. I even talked too much, don't let a word of this get out okay?".
Emily nodded.
"Oh and... stay away from miss Elena, she's a literal devil in disguise, i almost lost my life because of her". Bluey muttered.
Emily gasped but bluey shook her head, not wanting to talk about it.
"I'm tired". She said after a while, her eyes starting to droop lazily.
* CANNES, FRANCE : 11pm
Alyssa looked around to make sure that Katherine and nora were asleep before she made her way out of the room and went to Carlos'.
"What do you want?". Carlos asked when he opened the door for Alyssa. She ignored him and entered inside, sitting near the wine table and pouring herself wine.
"I couldn't sleep". She finally answered and Carlos sighed before closing the door and sitting opposite her.
"Where are your roomies?".
"Party". Carlos muttered.
"Care for a drink?". Alyssa quirked, already pouring one for him.
"No".
"Why?".
"I've had one already".
"You're so boring. One more won't hurt". Alyssa scoffed, pushing the glass towards him.
Carlos raised a brow but still took the glass, sipping the wine slowly.
Alyssa looked at him and smiled before pouring herself another glass.
"What's on your mind Alyssa?". Carlos asked. She just shrugged, taking the alcohol in one go.
"You".
Carlos rolled his eyes and stood up, finishing his drink too. Alyssa's eyes followed him as he sat on the further edge of the bed.
"How long will you be here?".
"Till i get drunk". Alyssa shrugged, downing another glass, she was already tipsy.
"That's enough". Carlos snapped, coming close to her. Instead, she stood up and hugged him tightly.
"I could stay like this all night". Alyssa smiled at him, biting her lips and Carlos gulped, making her to lie on the bed. Alyssa pulled his arm and he landed beside her then she snuggled him.
*ITALY
Angelo came back late again, it was becoming frequent. Him leaving everyday and coming back late in the night. Josh was already waiting for him, aside from Carlos, josh was another person that was a bit close to Angelo.
"Master". He bowed.
"Drop the formalities, we're alone". Angelo mumbled.
"Elena is still in your room, i tried to get her to leave but she insisted on staying there". Josh informed.
"Arrange the guest room for her". Angelo uttered.
"Okay".
"Josh, i need you to keep an eye on Emily". He said.
Josh nodded and Angelo made to go but josh held him back.
"Are you okay Angelo?". He asked.
Angelo just shrugged, not replying.
Angelo opted to go to his room but changed his mind and headed to another direction instead.
Meanwhile, Elena was lying on the bed in Angelo's room obviously waiting for him to come in, she had worn a slightly transparent night wear.
She grinned when she saw the door handle turn and positioned herself sexily.
"Hey...... what the hell are you doing here?". Elena yelled, using the bed covers to cover herself while glaring at josh angrily.
"The guest room is ready". He said.
"Didn't you hear me earlier?, I said I'm sleeping here tonight. Do you want Angelo to fire you?, I guess you've had this job for too long". Elena sneered.
"This is the Master's order". Josh said professionally.
"What?, Where is he?".
"I don't know but you need to leave before he comes back, he's not in a good mood tonight". Josh warned and elena visibly gulped. She had only seen Angelo mad before and that memory was enough to haunt her.
Flashback: 7 years ago
It was that time of the year again and Angelo was being his usual grumpy self and staying on his own away from the rest of the kids. That was until Axel, the famous douchebag in the quarters decided to pick on him.
"If it isn't the one and only Angelo Gerald". Axel sneered in pure hatred.
Angelo didn't even react to him as he was used to it.
"Aw, is mommy's boy grieving?. You deserve it, no one should love you, you should always be like this....". Brandon cut in.
"A useless, lonely, disgusting piece of thrash". Vine added, Jake and Clyde laughed.
Angelo turned a deaf ear to all of them and that had axel boiling with rage. He pulled Angelo up, Angelo didn't bother to fight him back as Axel and his friends began hitting him.
"Stop it". Carlos yelled, coming in front of Angelo. "What the hell are you doing Angelo?, Why are you not fighting back?".
Angelo still didn't move until Axel fished his hand in his pocket and brought out the picture of Angelo's mother. This had Angelo reacting now.
"What are you doing?". Angelo yelled, trying to get the picture back.
"You're finally feeling something again". Brandon laughed.
"You want it back?". Axel asked.
"Yes". Angelo answered.
"Then come get it". Axel grinned, running up the stairs. Angelo and Carlos sprinted after him but Axel's friends were faster and stronger. They split into two, a set holding down Angelo and the other holding down Carlos.
Axel grinned seeing Angelo in that pitiful condition, he brought out his lighter and Angelo's eyes widened.
"It'll be fun to see you hurt. The queen mother always favours you more than any of us".
"Axel, stop it, we can discuss this". Carlos bargained.
"Shut up you creep". Clyde slapped carlos.
"Axel I'm begging you, please don't do this. I'll leave here and never come back, i promise. Just don't do anything". Angelo pleaded but axel was no longer listening.
He set the picture on fire and everything seemed to freeze for Angelo, time seemed to stop for him as hiss eyes remained trained on the burning picture.
All Angelo could see was red as he pulled Brandon and vine together, clashing their hands against each other. He ran over to Axel and pushed him over the railing with force. Axel fell with a loud force, his head splitting due to the impact, shocking the hell out of the rest of the guys.
The rest of them weren't spared either as Angelo killed every single one of the bullies. His eyes were red with fury, loud screams echoed everywhere at Angelo's craziness. The queen mother had to interfere and stop him from killing everyone there.
"Let me go, he burnt her picture. That was the only thing I had left of her". He kicked and screamed so loudly that they had to inject a sedative to him to make him calm again.
PRESENT
Elena shuddered at the thought and stood up immediately, grabbing her things and going to the guest room.
Josh looked around the room, the picture of Angelo's mother was hanging on the wall, he soon followed after her and closed the door.
Angelo ruffled his hair, wondering why he was there in the first place.
Standing outside Emily's room.
Watching her sleep while mumbling senseless things in her sleep.
