At the Reggani mansion,
Rome city_ Italy.
Laliana stood at the balcony as she stared at primo who seemed yo be having a conversation with a young lad who was also dressed in a suit like him
She smiled and began caressing the tip of her hair
She was aware of the feelings she harbor towards him, she knew that she was in love with and her siblings were also aware too
Her eyes met with his and she waved at him which got him smiling while he returned to his conversation
"It seems the conversation is more important than me......."
she sighed
"but at least he smiled at me, we're surely getting somewhere"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primo who had just had a nice shower in his room that was situated in the Reggani mansion could be seen dressed in a simple ripped jeans and a tank top that revealed his muscles
Every worker is entitled to a room in the mansion although its building is entirely different from the main mansion where the Reggani family resides
A knock was heard on the door making him wonder who it was
"Come on"
He said and it came open revealing Laliana
She waved at him
"Hi Primo"
She said and he smiled as he watched her take her seat on the cushion, she crossed her legs and palmed her face staring at him
"Hello Laliana"
He responded as he was uncomfortable due to her intense gaze on him
"Your room is nice and well organize, I like the decor"
She complimented while he took his seat on the bed
"Thank you for that..."
He paused
"If I must asked what's Laliana Reggani doing in my room"
She frowned at his question
"Stop with the Reggani name being added to my name, to my friends is Laliana, Ana, Lily or Lia"
He arched his brows
"Friends after the little stunt you pulled last year"
He asked
"Common, we're still friends okay, I was only angry and I let it get the better part of me, even Adriana wasn't left out, Father really made us angry, I'm sorry"
He sighed
"I was angry at what you said but that was in the past okay, you're forgiven"
She smiled
"Yay!!!, good because we're going to the mall and don't even think of refusing me okay, if you're going to use Andrio as an excuse I've informed him and he agreed, I'm his big sis after all"
She got up
"but lalia......."
"No buts Andrio, we would go to the mall and that's final, hey ready in thirty minutes"
She stood up and left not giving him opportunity to speak
"I'll just have to cancel the arrangement I have with Esmeralda, I'm sure she won't be hurt"
At the Makessa mansion,
Rome city_ Italy.
Esmeralda stared at herself in the mirror and sighed for the umpteenth time, she was contemplating on the dress to choose
"I think I'll go with this cargo skirt and corset top, I'm sure he won't have a choice but to confess his love for me today once he sees me looking so gorgeous"
She giggled at her thought as she adjusted the skirt to fit her perfectly
"Perfect, he won't resist me, who knows we might end up making babies....... mother you didn't hear me did you, who knows if you'll appear and ruin this night"
She smiled loosening her hair as it cascaded down reaching her waist region
At the Reggani mansion,
Rome city_ Italy.
Laliana sat in the car as she was slowly loosing her patience, she was angry no doubt
After several minutes of waiting for Primo, she alighted from the car and turned to leave for her room
"Are you going already"
He voiced out making her halt, she turned to stare at him him that she didn't even consider to hide
"Why waste my time, you would have at least put a call through to inform that you were going to arrive late"
She muttered trying her best not to shout
He gave a light chuckle after he had check the time on his wristwatch
"Are you sure that I was late or you were early, you left my room 3pm and now its 2:38, I'm only eight minutes late"
She glance at her watch
"oh..."
She paused
"well that didn't change the fact that you were still late, you need to apologize for that"
She stared at him while he only smiled
"I'm sorry about that, don't let your mood ruin your pretty face okay"
He said and she nodded
"Did he just refer me to as pretty"
She thought and chuckled lightly at his choice of words
At the Vasco area,
The ghetto of Rome city.
"Martinez"
A young teenage girl screams could be heard and the person in question walked out of her room, he was stripped to the waist having a baggy pair of trouser on
"what Angelica"
he responded
"Did you turn off the WiFi," She questioned "Adriana live podcast is going on"
He scoffed
"Is that the reason she want to ruin my eardrums"
He thought
"Answer........."
"It might have turned off by itself, we didn't pay for this months subscription" He interrupted her earning a groan
"I wonder why you idolized that lady, she isn't that beautiful in reality, I'm sure its just filter and make up that's making her look like a drama doll that she isn't"
Angelica rolled her eyes
"when going live filter isn't required okay, you're just angry because Adriana Reggani is more beautiful than your girlfriend Danika and you can't get her"
He glared at her while she stick her tongue out on him
The door came open revealing his best friend Garcello along with the girl whom they talk about, Danika
Angelica stood up and left after she gave Danika a f**k you sign
"I wonder why your sister hates me"
Danika asked but didn't get a response from him as Garcello sat on the couch
"Who got you upset Martinez"
Garcello asked
"I don't understand why Angelica is so into that lady"
He responded and Danika scoffed
"You aren't the only one who despise that that lady, I wish that was a way we can burst her ego, I still remember that day she made you felt like trash"
She said
"I don't understand that grudges you two have for that lady but I think I have a way, her biggest ego is her virginity, I heard from son rumors that she hasn't been laid, we new someone who will get close to her, make her gal in love with him that she's ready to give her virginity, record it and blackmail her, we won't only break and destroy her completely but also enrich our self, we would leave this slum and perhaps the country.........."
Garcello paused
"By who will do it"
He asked and silence engulfed the room
"I'll"
Martinez responded earning a frown from Danika
At dominos park,
Rome city.
Esmeralda checked at the time to see it was 9pm, she has been waiting to the past we've hours since he was meant to come by 3.
She had call him but it isn't responding
Her phone rang and she looked to see that it was him
she answered
"I'm sorry I missed your call, I texted you that I won't make it, I went shopping with Laliana....."
She ended the call as she didn't believe that she had been waiting to someone who was with another lady.
A tear strolled down her cheeks
