Chapter VI

“Oh, my goodnessssss! Espagetting pababa in the morning?!” She was so amaze at how her breakfast look this good.

Sa i*******m lang sya nakakakita ng ganito ka aesthetically pleasing na pagkain.

Pasta bolognese, garlic bread, different sausages, eggs benedict and fresh squeeze juice.

Napatawa ang matandang babae na maigi siyang inasikaso. Sumunod naman si Manuel na nakiupo sa hapag.

“Enjoy your breakfast Mía” tugon ng Matandang Babae and she digged in. Gutom na gutom na talaga siya.

She wasn’t paying attention to all the people around her as of the moment. She treats it like it’s the breakfast and her moments only.

She doesn’t care if she eats like there’s no tomorrow. All she care about is her Breakfast.

She glanced at Manuel and she saw amusement in his eyes. She just smiles tho she still chews her sausages.

She looked at the old lady and mouthed “thank you” while still eating.

The old lady just smiles and just nod her head.

“Well, good thing she got a big appetite,” the old lady said and softly laughed.

“I’ll be going Medichelli, I have to attend some personal errands today,” she informed Manuel. “See you later Signorina” and bid her goodbye.

Still munching, “See you later Lola” Rosalia replied.

The old lady just chuckled, “Call me Mama Jefé”.

“Okay” she replied and continued devouring her meal.

Mama Jefe left the room.

She couldn’t help it but glance at Manuel.

“What?” She asked

“Hmm I couldn’t help but be amused seeing you eat like a big ole man, no wonder you are that chunky, curvy” he exclaimed

She couldn’t believe what he said. Aba’t indirectly nang ba-body shame. She smirked and rolled her eyes.

“Why? Aren’t you use with woman who eats a lot? Or big? And still be this sexy?” She teased him.

He just stares at her and smirked, “no” He simply replies.

She just stared at him while still chewing her food.

“Hmm welp, you just wasted half of your life. What a pity, ansarap kaya naming mga chubby” at tumawa sya.

She saw him chuckled.

She continued with her breakfast.

Manuel stood up, “after your finished, I’ll be at the ballroom, I’ll wait for you there. We need to discuss things.”

And then he turns his back.

“Where is that exactly?” She asked. Baka mawala nanaman kasi siya. Ayaw na niyang umeksena sa mga hallways dito sa mansion baka sampalin nalang siya bigla ng mga multo at ninuno ng mga Guidotti.

“The next room from here, you know what a ballroom looks like” and now he sounds annoy.

“Okay bye” she just answered. Para nagtatanong lang.

… .. …

Someone’s POV:

“Sir, Signorina Quiava safely arrived yesterday and she is currently with Signor Manuel.” His henchman informed.

“Hmm thank you Luís” and then he dismissed him.

Luis nods his head and head out.

“.. .. I guess it’s time to meet her then” his thoughts spoke.

He can’t fully understand his late brothers will. If other families can easily bestow rights to their sons and daughters, well not his family.

Dimitri has his own ways and rules. Nakakapikon nga. Going through some things like this made him think that, Dimitri does not trust him. His own brother don’t trust him.

But to others, they think that this is his brothers way of protecting him. Everyone in town, specially those eyeing the thrown play games and threats just to overthrew him. Some wants to burn the piece of paper that indicates his rights and power over his families possessions, properties. Rights and power over Cicily.

Noong una natawa siya. Para sa kanya pinaglalaruan siya ng kapatid niya pero napagtanto niyang, hindi ito katuwaan lamang. The theory in his head keeps on mumbling. All he needs to do is to connect all the dots to get the answer and to be able to get the answer, Rosalía Quiva is the key.

… …..

Macíon De Guidottí

“So, Manuel Medichelli? Hmmm what Am I doing here?”

Tila humupa na ang kabusugan niya. Tunaw na ang kanyang pansamantalang kaligayahan.

“.. Gusto ko kong malaman kung bakit ako nandito” sigaw ng kanyang kokote.

“Simple, you’re here because you’re ought to be here. This is your destiny.”

Matalinhagang tugon ni Manuel. Putek! Wala akong time para maging deep. Ibang deep lang alam ko. Ayyy .. kerengkeng.

“Seriously? is being a slave my destiny? In my 25 years of existence? So, all the education and hard work I put through in my life I’m destined to be a fucking slave?” She is angry. She can’t believe this man.

Manuel found this confusing and amusing at the same time. He smirked by the sight of her.

Fuming in anger.

“And and .. what do I got to do with Dimitri Guidotti? Huh? AFTER ALL I’VE DONE TO HIM IS THIS HOW HE REPAYS ME?” Naiiyak na siya.

Manuel can’t help but smile.

“Why are you smiling? Do you think this is Funny?” Ayan na, mamasa-masa na ang kanyang mga mata.

“.. no please ayaw ug hilak Wangsueee”

Her internal goddess speaking.

Manuel heaves a sigh. “Calm down Miss Qiuava.”

She looked at him and took a deep breath.

“3 years ago, you helped a man named Dimitri Guidotti. And he promised you something, and that something is being here, Italía” Manuel explained.

“And who told you that you’ll work here? As a Slave?” Manuel couldn’t help it but laughed at the thought of her being a househelp or whatever to DG.

“Your associate back in the philippines? Lorenzo. He told me that I am officially a slave to Dimitri Guidotti.” She sarcastically exclaimed.

Manuel softly laughed, “Cullo, haha he’s just trying to provoke you, anyway get dress. Let’s take a walk.”

She’s wondering why she kept on talking with this nonesense Manuel, ngayon naman inuutusan sya nitong magbihis dahil maglalakad daw sila?

“Saan na naman ba tayo pupunta?” she exclaimed.

Manuel looks at her confuse. “English please” he replies.

She didn’t translate what she said but rather walk pass him to the door.

He said she needed to get dress dahil maglalakad sila or hindi niya alam kung ano, na bobobo siya sa mga nangyayari but definitely, she needs to breathe and walking might help.
