The Witches Plan
1222 Words
I put my heels back on as I walked in the side door.
" Maria, don't you walk away from me!" My mother says behind me "Maria!"
I just kept walking down the hall looking into the rooms. As I pass, I see all the adults drunk and laughing
" She needs to learn respect." I heard Leo say behind me.
I see Alexander, one of the guys in my father's mob.
" Where is my father?"
"I am not too sure, Ms. Maria, I believe he may be in his office."
I started to walk towards the other side of the house, towards my father's office next to the library. As I got to the wooden door, I heard him and others talking behind the door. I raise my hand to knock and my mother grabs my arm.
" You little s**t, you are not ruining this for me. Do you know what I have sacrificed for you? You spoiled little brat? Now you will do as I say and you will sit down and speak with me and Leo."
" I want nothing to do with him. Or with you." I said as we have a staring contest with each other.
Just then, the office door opens and my mother smiles as she pulls my hand down as if we were talking.
" Hello" My mother says, with a happy, nice voice, as the man is standing in the doorway. It was not Leo's father, thank God. which means my father doesn't know anything or agreed on anything yet, I hope.
" Father I..." Before I could finish, my mother cuts me off and says
" Maria was just wanting to ask if she could go to her room as she is getting tired, tonight has taken a toll on her." She looks at me and grasps my arm tighter. I can feel her nails starting to dig into my skin.
" Is that what you wanted to say my dear?" My father asked
Me and my mom just death staring at one another
" Actually, father, I was wondering if I could speak to you?"
" Of course, my dear. What is it?"
" The Romanos would like to speak with you about business." My mother says " Leo, their son, has taken a liking to Maria."
" Oh, I see." My father says as he tugs on the front of his suit jacket and buttons a few of the buttons. He walks over to me and places his hands on my face and kisses my forehead " Lets go see what they want to talk about."
" But, father, I really need to speak to you before you talk to them."
" It can wait, my dear."
He says walking past me with my mother in tow behind him. Me and Leo are still standing there. My father pats Leo on the shoulder as he walks by. Leo looks back to me and smirks
" Guess you are going to be my candy!"
" Your a pig." I snarled with disgust as I walked past him heading for the stairs.
I went to my room. I had enough of tonight. I hate Leo. I know my mother will do anything to get her way. She would trade her soul to the devil for a bottle of champagne, so I can only imagine what she would be willing to trade her daughter, who she hated. I didnt even attempt to take my dress off. I just lay across my bed trying to figure out how I am going to get out of this mess. As I was lying in bed, I started to think about the pool conversation I had with Justin. I wonder if he felt the same as i did? My mind kept wandering with questions as I slowly started to fall asleep.
I was woken up by a light knock on the door.
"Ms. Maria?" Bonnie said
"Yeah hang on." I said, getting off the bed, my body aching as I slept in that tight dress and my legs hanging off the bed while I was asleep. I got up stretched and unlocked the door. I forgot I locked it last night as I was afraid Leo would follow me to my room.
" Good morning my dear. My heavens hunny, you look like a mess."
" Good morning Ms. Bonnie. I feel like a mess."
" Is everything OK? You never lock your door?" She says, coming into my room and shutting the door behind her.
" I dont know. I was afraid that disgusting pig Leo Romano would follow me up here."
" Well thats confusing. Ms Ann is saying you and Leo really hit it off."
I sat back on the edge of my bed
" Yeah right. He is a disgusting, cocky, pig. I cant stand him."
" What happened?"
" Well, when I first saw him he was eyeing me like a kid eyeing ice cream. Then he said he was going to have a little fun and use me when he wants. And that he would take me like I was an option for him."
" He does sound like a pig."
" Then he grabbed my arm and told me I needed to learn respect. He is just nasty in more ways than one. Also, he was hitting on the caterer and the other bosses daughters."
" You need to speak to your father." Bonnie said with concern as she wrapped an arm around me to comfort me.
" I tried and my mother wouldn't let me and squeezed my arm. Her nails even dug into my skin." I said looking at my arm, but no marks were there.
" That woman is something else," she says while shaking her head. "So it was a bad time then?"
" Well, not all bad. There was someone that I really hit it off with. There was just something about him. Felt like I have known him forever. I couldn't find one thing about him I didn't like. I had this urge to protect him. He's not helpless or anything. I just didn't want him to have any more emotional or physical pain. I just want him to be happy. It was weird."
"Sounds like you had a connection with him right away then?"
" Definitely. He is so gorgeous, respectful, thoughtful and smart."
" What family does he belong to? Maybe you can speak to your father and try to get him to pick this guy's family over the other."
" He's not in a family. He was one of the caterers." I said sadly,
" Oh I see. I know your father he is not one to turn his head of the rules. But your father also loves you more than anything. Maybe your father will make a exception." She says trying to cheer me up
" I doubt it, especially if my mother has anything to do with it."
" Well, my dear, whatever you choose, I will stand behind you and be proud of whichever decision you make." She says, getting up and placing a hand on my chin " I am going to run you a bath so you can get ready for the day, dear."
