unspoken promises

chapter 5

SALVATORE

I can't get Violet off my mind. No matter how hard I tried, when I sleep, all i see is her smile and cute face. Violet Violet Violet, she is taking space in my head without knowing it. It was crazy for me to offer a proposal of forgiving that son of a b*tch in exchange of Violet. I know the stipulated time frame I gave him is too short, but that is my aim, I need my reason to kill him, I don't want a fight breaking between the two families.

"Boss, I have your girl," Daniel says as he walks in. He is my most trusted man, my right-hand man, and the one with the computers. He lay a folder on my desk, boldly titled Violet Dimitri. I open the folder curious to see what was written in it. "Violet Dimitri, aged 25. Two sisters, Mina Dimitri and Estelle Dimitri(cause of death unknown), Father deceased, mother deceased. A son(Ben Fletcher). cause of death(accident). Married to Damon fletcher. sufferrs from domestic violence(unverified), two miscarriages. Rumoured to have been sold to Damon Fletcher to pay debt,"

I continue reading the document expressionless. "Is that all you could find," I ask Daniel. "I also got her number," he said to me. I escorted him out of my office and expressed my gratitude to him. My Violet is a strong girl. one thing is d*mn sure, i am going to skin Damon alive and make him pay for hurting my Violet. I knew the bruise I saw on her face was not an accident, even if she told me it was a mistake. I picked up my phone and dialled Damon's number, and he picked it on the third ring. "Ah, Salvatore , I was just about to call you, i have been arranging the goods and money, I just need more time," he says to me. Ben Fletcher, what a nice name for a cute child, I heard he died of a freak accident or was he murdered, hmmm, whatever it was, I am sure you were very sad. you forgot to tell me you had a child Damon, why did you do that? I heard him gulp on the phone. "I don't know what you are talking about. He had an accident and died," he said to me. "You know what, Damon, I don't care about your deceased son," I tell him. and ooh Damon, I heard Violet isn't legally married to you. Is she?, I ask him. "Leave my wife's name out of your filthy mouth, you bastardo," he screams I hang up on him mid screaming. I didn't think he murdered his own son, but now I can confirm he did. Violet is also not legally married to him. It will be easier to make her mine. I called Daniel and told him to keep a close tab on Damon. I stared at Violet's number for a very long time and decided to text her.

"HI BELLISIMO, YOU LOOK AMAZING TONIGHT. YOUR CURLS IN A BUN ARE SO CUTE. IT FRAMES YOUR FACE WELL. GOOD NIGHT, TESORO," I text her, my message delivered, but she is yet to read it. I kept checking my phone for the entirety of the evening to see if she replied, but she didn't. I didn't know what she was wearing, but I assumed she looked good because she always looked good. I will have one of my insiders working at the fletchers install a camera in her room, I need to know she is safe before acting carelessly. she reads the message but blocked me immediately after. I texted her again with another number, I told her bellisimo, "You look amazing. She reads that also but didn't reply. I continue texting her for days. She keeps reading but never replies. not until today, she replied to me by saying hi, unknown, I assume you are creepy, and I appreciate your compliments, but you are creepy. Please stop😒😒. I read the message again and again, and then I texted her, apologising for my creepiness. through the camera, I could see her laying on her bed with her feet kicking up, smiling at my texts. my man installed the camera three days ago. I fell in the routine of constantly texting, temporarily ignoring the existence of Damon and his impeding doom. "Do you just go about texting random people?," she asks me.

I replied her by telling her that i only text random people that catch my attention. "And what did I do to catch your attention, hmm," she asked. "You caught my attention by being you, Violet," I texted back. She texted me saying she has to go, I could see her jump from the bed from the camera, Damon was back home.
