Rosalia's POV

I woke up feeling comfortable and warm the bed was so soft I slept like a baby . I pulled off the fluffy blanket and stood up from the bed .

The sun  light that shone in through the windows made the room cozy I wasn't sure how many hours I've slept but the way my body ached I feel like I've slept more than I usually do
And then suddenly realization struck me  that this wasn't my apartment,this wasn't my bed
Memories of the past few days started rushing in and suddenly I was terrified again I don't even remember falling asleep

Trying to ease the tension I walked up to the window and opened them  and looked down at the house
I noticed the guard that where outside weren't much this morning as they were in the night

I just stared out the window till my tummy grumbled and I realized that I hadn't eaten since yesterday
I decided to leave the room and go find their kitchen to fix up something for myself

I carefully opened the door checking left and right before walking out of the room . The hallway was long and elegant with a door next to each other I kept on walking because houses like this their kitchen are always downstairs so I went towards the long and curvy stairs

The stairs took like forever before I reached the ground floor when I finally reached I walked towards a door that I suspected to be the kitchen and luckily it was the kitchen .
I walked inside the first thing I set my eyes on was Giovanna on her white and black pleated gown with a white apron round her waist and she wore a flat shoe . I ignorantly tried to pass her to get to the sink but she turned immediately with a scared expression but when she saw it was me her expression softened

oh dear your finally up please seat down she said while pointing a chair for me to seat on
I'll quickly prepare something for you to eat I know you must be very hungry
I just nodded in approval
Okay then let me get you coffee while you wait is that okay with you?
Yes coffee sounds nice
Okay then
She walked to the coffee machine and filled a little mug up and brought it up to me I took the mug and thanked her

I quietly sipped my coffee and watched her cook then I thought about my yesterday night and if i needed Giovanna to trust me like I planned I'll have to be in her good books so I decided to start a conversation with her

I sat up and leaned on the edge of my chair with my mug in my hand and looked at Giovanna

So Giovanna  "yes dear "
I started how did you end up here I asked her curiously

Giovanna's POV

I've been here for thirty years she almost dropped her mug when I said that I guess your very surprised
But I worked for Luca's parents before they passed on so when they died Luca was still little and as the only woman in the house I took him as my son although Rocco's parents took care of him also so he wouldn't get depressed yet they still couldn't stop him he was so sad at that age

He was cold and impassive that it feared me so much
And according to the Italian mafia lineage
Luca had to step up to his father's place when he was just fifteen years old he was so young
I tried stopping them but I couldn't stop it because they saw me as just an ordinary maid  but Luca didn't see me that way he gave me respect he regarded me as his mother .

Before Luca's mother passed away she told me to promise her that I'll look after her son and that I'll protect him with my life
And I swore to her that I would so that's why when you and Rocco came back here yesterday I was very worried.

Luca is a snake in green grass he behaves like he doesn't know or understand what ever is going on but when he decides to spit his venom out he is ruthless he doesn't care when he is on rage mood and that's something about him that bothers me so much because I feel he is trapped in his own pain

He still has all that hate and disgust in his heart and that makes him behave like a monster nobody has been able to help him out because he feels that it is how it's meant to be that he is not supposed to have a heart that he is not supposed to feel any kind of emotion . Which Isn't good because when he is supposed to make cool headed decisions his blinded anger disrupts him from seeing the truth.

So you see my dear this man is someone with a broken past and insensitive mind so I don't know how long he'll keep you here but just be careful around him okay.

I nodded
Know I know why Luca is so cold blooded why
Why he kills people without remorse

Don't think too much about it one think i know Luca for is that he is a fair man he doesn't kill innocent people without a reason so just calm down he would be back soon and when he gets back I believe he'll let you go.

I felt relief as she said that knowing that I'll walk out of this house and forget that any of this ever happened.
Giovanna finished cooking and put some bacon, scrambled eggs fresh toast with orange juice
The bacon smelt very nice I wasted no time I started filling up my tummy
Giovanna sat on one of the chairs and watched me eat happily
I was almost done eating when Rocco walked through the door he looked at me with an expressionless gaze I see you have calmed down no more tantrums I see He said
I rolled my eyes at him

Good morning Gina
Morning Rocco
How was the night shift
It was exhausting I off to bed but first please make food for the guards that were on duty all night
Make mine too and when your done please bring it up to my room
Okay no problem go and rest a little bit the food will be ready in a few
Thank you Gina he said why leaving

Is he always this grumpy I asked
Giovanna chucked
Rocco is like this because he doesn't trust you
Hmph I scoffed well I don't trust him either so I guess we are even
She laughed at this

I was finally done with my meal I washed up my plate thanked Gina and went upstairs back to my room I needed a cool shower I entered the bathroom to clean up

I finished cleaning up and wrapped my hair up in my towel and left the bathroom
Immediately I stepped out I screamed
