TESORO (His hunted Treasure)

CHAPTER SIX

Iva

I set the phone down and exhaled slightly, hearing his voice had been harder than I anticipated, I didn't expect him to still have such a hold on me after all these years, this whole situation has been tiring, to say the least

I looked at the girls and saw the cold glare my beautiful daughter was giving me

I guess I just messed up huh

I watch her hostile posture, the clenching of her fists, as she watched my every move ready to pounce, she was brave, I guess Emilio has taught her something about self-defense, I looked at her, taking in all  her features, she looks beautiful, her long dark brown thick curls reaching mid back, her light caramel smooth skin, and Emilio's emerald green eyes, full lips and a cute button nose with tiny freckles that spread a little to her cheeks, she was so cute, late bloomer as she still looked tiny for an almost 15-year-old

She was perfect, my little lamb

She tilts her head slightly to the side giving me a weirded out, look, I then noticed I've been just standing there staring at my daughter like some creep, smiling and not saying anything, I shook my head and cleared my throat

Gosh she probably thinks you a nut case

Well you kind of are

Oh shut up!

"yep I'm losing my mind, Emilio had done it, literally drove me crazy" I mumbled to myself placing the gun down

The girls gave each other a look then looked at me, I laughed at their freaked out faces

"Uh Mrs. Morelli are you okay ?" the girl I had previously held at gunpoint asks, I laughed at the situation

"Oh sweets, you're a good one aren't you" it wasn't a question, but she looked at me waiting for me to continue, but I don't

" How long have you known my daughter?"  I asked instead

" Uh since I was 10?" she frowns, I wait for her to continue " I stay with them so.." she trails off looking at Luna who sat there playing with her fingers refusing to look at me.

"You girls must be hungry, come chat with me while I make you something to eat," I say as I moved to the kitchen, Sumeya looked at my daughter for confirmation, and then she eyed the gun I had placed on the table, a calculating look in her eyes

I could tell she was a fighter an impulsive one at that, kind of reminds me of a younger version of me, and her act now and think later attitude will one day get her killed, she was a risk to herself and my daughter.

As predicted, she goes for the gun, pointing it at me, I smiled

"We'll be leaving now, thank you very much" she sassed, I raised an eyebrow

"No you won't" I dismissed her going to the kitchen to start preparing dinner

" Mrs. Morelli please don't make me shoot you"

"Ms. Mlambo" I interrupted

"I thought your last name was Sonto or was that another one of your lies?" Luna asks me I turn to her, glad she is talking, meaning she was ready to get answers and I was going to give them to her

"Yes it is, my parents never got married, my mother Sonto and my Father whom I've never had a relationship with Mlambo" I explained

" Your father knew me as Iva Sonto before we got married, so when we had a fall out I changed it  to Mlambo, for the sake of my business among other things" she listened carefully
