Mafia Servant

Chapter 27 - Cat fight

Bon Appétit! :D

Elizabeth's POV

Rafael Valentine dismissed me as he remained fixated on his best friend. "Go take a shower, Piccolo. Just shout when you are done." His smile only last a few seconds as he sent me into the washroom. I left unwillingly, my eyes shifting between the two prince, tension peaking in the room.

I understand why Rafael was acting this way. But what about Angelo?

As I slide the washroom's door, his smile vanished. Rafael had turned serious as he confronted his best friend, who was currently looking like a lifeless status, face full of indifference.

I leaned on the closed door, pressing my ears against it.

"Jay, you can't just hug her like that. You already have Jessica." Rafael explained patiently, like he was talking to a small child who was ignorant and lacking understanding for how the world operated.

There was a long pause before Angelo spoke,"First time seeing you interfering, Raf." Angelo cooly said, there was no hard edge to his velvety voice but only amusement. I guess the two best friends did everything together except for when it comes to girls.

I mean, it would be freaky if they do that together.

I frowned at his tone. Either Angelo is an idiot for not seeing past the surface or he so confident that he doesn't care if his best friend was interested in his girlfriend. The latter  sounds more like the Mietitore prince, their relationship was high-profile and envied by many. Angelo and Jessica would be on the front page of the Mafia tabloids, if there was one. According to Julian, people at the Mietitore office building chimes "young mistress" whenever they see her.

One is handsome and powerful and the other, beautiful and loving. A perfect match.

"This...is not about Jessica Gold. I'm doing this for Elizabeth." My name sounded foreign coming out from Rafael's mouth, this was the first time he has addressed me by my name. Bumping my head on the door, I mentally scolded myself for completely missing the point.

What is he trying to convey when he said he was doing this for me?

"For her?" Angelo voiced out my own thoughts, his amusement unconcealed.

"Stop doing things that confuses her. She's already very confused." Rafael hinted.

The stinging pain made me stop biting my lips. Of course Rafael would know how I feel about Angelo, he has been there since day one! He had seen how I blushed at all the ambiguous moves Angelo have played. If that did not make my crush obvious, the hug have done it.

Contract clause number seven.

Elizabeth Vivere will not have any feelings for Angelo Jay Mietitore from the start to the end of the contract. Once made known of the fact that she has feelings for him, she will be asked to return all her monetary rewards as well as blacklisted by the Mietitore family. The contract gets annulled and I will die.

Remember how you snickered at this?

Dreading the consequences, I slide open the door to deny Rafael's words. He didn't know about the clauses but it doesn't mean they are not valid.

"Are you confused by my hug?" Angelo turned to me, unshaken by my sudden appearance. He had known I was eavesdropping the whole time.

Do you like me?

"Not at all. Wasn't it just a casual hug between friends...if we are friends?" I denied quickly.

Love or life. I choose the latter.
