Kaira's POV:
I removed the soil and tapped my tunnel's opening. I pulled the door of tunnel and entered not before closing.
I walked inside for a while, and then a saw another door, I slowly opened it and peaked if there was anyone or not. There was no one so I came out.
And now I was in the drawing room of our Mansion, if you are thinking who did I got to know about this then I had been strolling and trying to find something because I knew they would definitely have a secret door or something in their house.
I found a basement also which is near the corridor in which we could hide till the time, we don't think it's safe to come out.
I saw Lorenzo making something in kitchen, I wore a baggy jeans and a hoodie on top of my clothes while I kept my jacket in the bag. I kept the bag inside the secret passage only.
Lorenzo turned maybe he sensed something. Then I walked in his direction and acted like I wanted to drink water.
" Why are you awake at this time?"
This time? It's only 3.
" I was thirsty."
He nodded.
The main door opened, showing a injured Valentino.
" Quello che è successo?" (What happened?) Lorenzo asked.
They think that I don't know Italian so let them. I acted dumb.
" Sono stato sconfitto da una ragazza." ( I got defeated by a girl.)
" Una ragazza? Sul serio?" ( A girl? Seriously?)
" Whatever. I am going to sleep." He went upstairs.
I also went to my room and layed.
--------------
I looked at the bullet wound and cleaned it so that it doesn't get infected. Did my wrist bandage and make up.
I came down and saw Lorenzo on the couch. I ignored him and came to kitchen.
I started cooking something.
I was making pasta when I felt my pant tugged. I looked down and saw Antonio.
" Good morning Tesoro."
" Good morning." I made him sit on the counter.
" Make some for me too."
" I am."
I was making pasta for me, Antonio, Alessandro and Lorenzo. Alessandro supported me yesterday that's the reason and Lorenzo cooked me breakfast yesterday that's why. Now, I don't care if they eat or not, it's just I hate taking someone's favour.
I have always paid for the whatever I got, so I am not used to it.
I had finished cooking and I saw everyone sitting on the dining table, ready for their breakfast.
I went and kept a plate for Lorenzo, he looked at me in a confusing manner, another in front of Alessandro who smiled at me which was rare, and one in front of Antonio who gave me the brightest smile. I came back into the kitchen and started eating mine sitting on the counter.
Aria's, Valentino's and Francesco's was served by the maids which was cooked by the chef's. That food first goes for checking and then comes here.
I didn't gave any of them anything because to be honest, I am not own of the sweetest people, who will think good and do good for the ones who treat me badly.
" Why are you sitting there? Sit on the dining table." Lorenzo said.
" No thanks."
" I insist." Lorenzo's voice soften this time and my feets walked towards the dining table itself.
He pulled out the chair next to him and I sat there. Their was still very much difference between Aria and me so they must thought it as a better option.
" Why does we have different food than yours?" Francesco asked.
" Because I cooked this." I said.
I could say their questioning face.
" Uhmmm... It's so so so so so so so so so tasty, Tesoro." Antonio said who was the only one who are till now, the poor kid was not able to resist.
I smiled at him.
Seeing this Alessandro also took a bite.
" It's nice, Kaira." He said with a smile.
My eyes automatically went to Lorenzo, who also took a bite. He just gave me a nod.
I heard a scoff.
" She is trying to bribe you all and seeing Alessandro took her side yesterday she gave him and Lorenzo, is the eldest and he has all the power so she is trying to take him also on her side and Antonio, what can I say about him, he is fully wrapped in her charm." Valentino said.
Looks like yesterday's beating was not enough for him.
But I was proud of myself, by looking at his swollen cheeks.
I didn't explained him, because I wasn't bound to.
I ate my food.
I saw Valentino and Francesco seeing a video in Valentino's phone.
" No phones are allowed at the dining table." Lorenzo said.
" Brother, it's important."
Lorenzo raised his eyebrows.
"Guarda. Ieri c'è stato uno sparo di cui nessuno sapeva tranne la ragazza, è stato sparato nella mia direzione ma la ragazza mi ha dato un calcio e sono caduto. Ma purtroppo ha toccato il braccio della ragazza."
( Look. Yesterday, a gun shoot happened which no one knew except the girl, it was shooted in my direction but the girl kicked me and I fell. But it unfortunately touched the girl's arm.")
Lorenzo took the phone and saw the cctv camera footage.
" Significa che la ragazza prima aveva visto solo l'assassino e ti ha salvato la vita prendendoti a calci." He said and Valentino nodded.
( Means the girl had first only seen the shooter, and saved your life by kicking you.)
" A proposito, chi è questa Leonessa?" Francesco asked.
( Who is this Leonessa, by the way?)
" Ã la persona che ha sconfitto tutti i combattenti clandestini francesi. " Valentino replied.
( She is the person who defeated all the underground fighters of French.)
" Trovatela, la voglio nella mia mafia. " Lorenzo said and started eating pasta.
( Find her, I want her in my mafia.)
Aria didn't react means she also didn't knew Italian and she is used for them to speak like this.
" But you got defeated by a girl, shame on you." Alessandro mocked him.
" You!" Valentino said in anger.
" Silence." Lorenzo said and everyone got silent.
When I was going to stand up, Aria spoke.
" Stay away from Alessio."
" Excuse me? Are you going to tell me what I have to do?" I said rudely.
" Don't talk to my sister like that!" Valentino shouted.
" Don't tell me what I have to do!" I too shouted and hit my palms on the table.
But because of this, the juice on table fell on Aria.
I immediately rushed to her.
" Are you okay?" I said while pushing the glass up but suddenly I was pushed by Valentino.
And fuck you, my wrist!
I closed my eyes not wanting to show the pain.
" Don't touch my sister! I told you first also Lorenzo that she just wants to hurt her, yesterday also she gave warning, and now also she tried to hurt our sister."
Antonio sat in front of me.
" Are you ok?" He asked with concern.
I nodded with a smile.
" Antonio, come back! Stay away from her and you will not go anywhere near to her from now on wards." Francesco said while picking Antonio.
" No, no, I want to go to my Tesoro." He tried to get out of hold.
My heart warmed seeing someone fighting for me.
Francesco started taking him upstairs.
" I want to go to my Tesoro." Antonio said and this time, his face had tears.
I immediately rushed to them and snatched Antonio from Francesco.
Antonio hugged me tightly.
" I will never leave you, Tesoro."
I blinked my tears away.
" I know, baby." Francesco tried to snatch Antonio from me, but stopped with my deadly glare, which even bought shivers to his spine.
" Now, let's go to school. Otherwise you will get late." I started taking him down.
I put him down.
---------------
I sat on the last bench.
I turned when I felt some moment.
" What are you doing here?" I asked coldly while looking at him.
" It's my seat but I am giving you privilege to sit here."
" Oh, thank you for this generous favour." I said sarcastically and looked in front.
The teacher came and started teaching.
" Stop staring." I said looking in front when I felt his continuous stare at me.
" I can't."
Why am I surrounded by these creepy boys?
I preferred not saying anything.
Finally, the class got over and I stood but stopped when he hold my wrist lightly. Thank god, he didn't hold the other one.
I turned and glared at him.
" Come with me somewhere."
" I am not."
" You will like it." I don't know why my heart said to go just by looking in his eyes.
And I trust my gut feelings more than anyone else.
I nodded but snatched my hand from his hold.
-----------------
So right now, I was skipping my classes because a boy said that he will take me to a nice place. Sounds good for kidnapping.
He stopped the car and I got out.
I looked at the view and trust me, if I say I was just trying to close my mouth so it doesn't fall.
It was a beautiful lake, with trees all around it and in between was a mat with things on it.
" Ira." I looked back it him.
" Sio?" And he nodded.
" Fuck! It's you." I asked still not believing it. Then suddenly captured Alessio in a tight hug and he hugged me back.
" Finally you remembered me." He said while snuggling into my neck.
" Oh my! I still can't believe it's you." I pulled and a smile formed on my face.
" Right, I have become more handsome." He winked at me.
" Oh shut up!" I rolled my eyes.
But suddenly I was captured in another hug.
" I missed you."
" I missed you too."
" Then why did you left without telling?"
" I.. even I didn't know about all this. They just sent me away."
" But Ira, why did you tried to kill Aria? I know there must be more to explain."
The smile dropped from my face and I looked away.
" Alright, let's forget about all that. I bought your favourite sweets." He sat on the mat while motioning me to sit beside him and I sat beside him.
He took out a chocolate cake.
" I don't even know when I ate it last." I said.
He looked at me shocked.
" Don't tell me you are it 11 years ago?" His eyes darkened.
" I didn't meant that. Come on, I am hungry, I am eating it." I said before dipping a spoon in the cake and eating it.
" Uhmm... It's tasty." I did my happy dance and he smiled.
I ate another spoon full of cake.
" Are you not going to feed me?" He said with a fake sad face.
I shook my head with a smile.
I was going to out another spoon in my mouth when he hold my palm and put it in his mouth and ate it.
I fake glared at me to which he smiled. And good, his smile is angelic, and his dimples are just fuck you!
So, let's tell you a secret, when I was 5 years old, I had a best friend, best friend would be small call him my bestest friend who I nicknamed Sio, and he used to call me Ira. So now, you get it, it is none other than Alessio, who used to be my bestest friend. We used to spend a lot of time, because his father was one of our alliance.
There is one more secret, he was my first crush and maybe love too.
I don't know why I will do good but it's just.. I mean.. I don't know.
I gave him a crushing hug because of which he fell on the ground with me on top of him.
He chuckled.
" Oh god, look at you. In the school, you were acting so bitchy, for a minute even I was confused if it was you only, and now you are acting like a five year old kid."
I glared at him and he closed his mouth but was still trying to stop his laugh.
I hit his shoulder and he burst into laughter.
" By the way, how can you make a girlfriend? We decided that both of us will make girlfriend and boyfriend at the same time."
" We will make girlfriend and boyfriend at the same time? Did you forget you made me promise that I will not talk to any girl except and also made me promise that I will marry you in the future."
My cheeks turned pick.
" I was a kid back then." I pouted.
He chuckled seeing my condition.
" Wait, you distracted me from the real topic? Like seriously, I never thought you had such a bad taste in girls if she is your girlfriend."
" Who said she is my girlfriend?"
" For god sake, she came and threaten to stay away from her man, and that so called her man was you."
" She said and you believed. That girl is interested in me, I am not interested her."
" Really?"
" Yeah, I definitely liked when you sit on my lap. I have to tell her to threaten you more often." He said with a smirk and my cheeks turned pink. I hit his shoulder lightly while he chuckled.
He slowly tucked my hair under my ear looking straight into my eyes.
Suddenly his phone rang breaking our moment and then I realised I was lying on top of him. I stood immediately and he sat straight before picking the call.
I started feasting my dear chocolate cake, when I felt someone staring at me.
I looked at the side and saw him staring at me while keeping his phone on his ear. He smiled when I saw him and I smiled back.
I again started eating my chocolate cake but my stomach filled in half only. I passed him the cake.
" I am full." He cut the call.
" But you only ate half."
" I am full, you eat it."
" Is it true? Am I seeing the great Kaira DeLuca giving me her cake and that also chocolate?"
" Leave, I will take it home." I bought my hand near it but before that only Alessio took it and ran away.
" You!" I ran after him.
Suddenly the cake came on my face.
