Living with the Enemy. 9. Such a Bad Dad.
Deangelo.As soon as my kids trooped in, I couldn’t help but immediately notice how a little part of my eldest was torn and dirty, Mia is a very neat and organised teenager, she doesn't even let her brother into her room for any reason at all, so this was something that actually stands out for her."Mia, why is your sleeve that dirty? Torn even? Are you five?" I scolded instead of asking politely and showing concern like I normally would before... well... before we fell out with eachother. Here's what I mean, Mia used to be a daddy's girl with me, we'd have fun, I'd protect her and she'd tell me everything that she couldn't even tell her mom but it all went south when Jules, my wife died. She became so cranky and it has even gotten worse since she celebrated her thirteenth birthday last year, it was almost like she got initiated into the typical teenage crankiness. And she hated every single thing I did, nothing I do goes well with her, it's almost like she has it in for me. Honestly
Living with the Enemy. 10. Meeting the Pack.
Elena.I tried to look anywhere else but in the eyes of the people in the large room with me. It was awkward, a very awkward situation to be caught in, especially when the cause of misunderstanding is you.The little boy whose name I've learnt was Diego soon left too in the same manner as his sister, but it was obvious that he was just imitating his big sister. It made me smile.Deangelo sighed before speaking, "uh... Sofia?" He called out."Yes, Alpha." "Show Elena around, let her know the rules and introduce her to everyone. Also, allocate the empty room right next to mine on the third floor to her, I need to keep my eyes on her myself." He said and just the fact that I knew that he would be keeping his eyes on me made me shiver, I couldn't afford any slip up at all.But it seemed like Sofia didn't agree to his choice as she proceeded to counter him, much to my happiness, "Uh... sir... there's an empty room right next to the kids rooms sir, the same one the previous nannies used? I
Living with the Enemy. 11. A Kid with a Temper.
Elena.The eldest eyed me profusely, almost as if she had her way, she'd chase me as faraway as possible, probably feed me to wild animals even.I began to look around instead, her room was like a wonderland for comic driven recluses. The walls were a deep red that pulsed in the light, sprinkled with various posters, mostly of strange Japanese cartoon shows. I doubted she could read whatever was written on the poster. Her comforter was pulled over her bed, even though she hadn't cleaned it. The result was lumps of varying sizes and shapes and the comforter was weighed down by her laptop. A desk sat in one corner, littered with wadded up pieces of paper and pens. A few shelves were pushed against the walls and filled with books. Some books sat on the floor in front of the shelves."Are you going to keep looking around my room like a fugitive or some spy or are you actually going to speak like a normal person? I mean even if you have nothing to say, you could just simply leave instead of
Living with the Enemy. 12. You don't need the Temptation.
Deangelo.As soon as they both left, I spoke up, "What's up with the Amato pack, did they get the memo that we left?" "They sure did, Alpha but is that really the bone of contention right now though?" Luca asked giving me a suspicious look that I didn't like.Luca and I have a kind of relationship that most members of my pack never understand, much more strangers. We have a boss-subordinate relationship yet we are best of friends. There is little to nothing that Luca doesn't know about me and I am sure that I could say the same about him too. He never left my side, not once, not ever, so even though he gives me the alpha respect that is expected from him, he's also one of the people who can turn around and speak sense into me in what other people may term disrespectful. "What do you mean, what else can be more important than anything that has to do with the Amato pack?" I asked as I poured some whiskey in two glasses, Luca took one from my hand and sipped slowly. We both stared at e
Living with the Enemy. 13. Snooping Around the Lion's Den.
Elena.It's daylight, bright, like a day for the beach but he is coming. He is coming and I can't stop him, I can't. I sent him money, all that I've made, and extra, I have begged him to simply let me go, to just leave me be, to forget that I ever existed, still he hunts me down these alleyways calling my name as if he were my friend - but in his hands is a knife and he means to twist it in my guts when he gets close. I have been running in scattered way, run and hide, rinse, repeat. Now my heart beats like it means to explode and my mind is a scattered mess. Then before I know it, I'm out in the open, running down the street like the devil himself is in pursuit. Only it's worse, my chaser is flesh and blood and means to send me straight to hell just the same. He's raging, malicious and he takes twisted delight in my fear. I should not have ran away, maybe I had no right to think I could ever escape him. He makes it seem like I should never have even gotten away from him, like he wa
Living with the Enemy. 14. The Choice is yours.
Elena.I don’t know how he managed to be that loud when he was supposed to keep his voice down since it's practically midnight and he could wake people up but then, I got the hunch that these rooms might actually be sound proofed so he didn't need to take that into consideration. Well... of course, they're sound proofed. This is an expensive house, no such house will lack that. His arm was stretched out wide, strangling the curtain with his grip, and for a few moments, I looked down and then I get sidetracked by the fact that he was not wearing anything. Again. He was naked. Naked. “Oh my God!” I squeaked, clenching my eyes shut. “Why are you in here?" “Oh my God. Oh my God,” I chanted, trying to dissolve into the tiles my spine was stuck to. “You’re naked. I thought you at least had your boxers on.” “What the fuck. Are you doing in my bathroom, Elena?” he growled, this time slowly. “Why do you always walk around naked? Do you sleep naked?” I asked instead, even though I was s
Living with the Enemy. 15. Book of Instructions.
Elena.I usually wake up as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. My heart beat fast and there was a buzzing in my brain and together, they are as panic with jump-leads. I woke up suddenly, every thought in high definition. My eyes take in every ray of light and without a doubt I know that I have slept too long. The noises are of a day in full swing.I relaxed back a bit as my mind went back to the previous night and the encounter with Mr. Deangelo as I wonder about what my fate will be. Thrown out? Locked up?I shut my eyes as I think back again to it all, most especially his stern and scary warning."Listen and listen carefully, I will not repeat this after this night. You have two options, you either be a good girl by following rules as you should in this home and I'll make sure you at least have a comfortable life in this pack or you keep on snooping around while ignoring what was assigned to you and I'll make sure you live a life that makes you think
Living with the Enemy. 16. This Crackle of attraction.
Elena."I'm so sorry about all of that, Elena. Do not take any of it to heart, Mia can be rude and cranky while Sofia can be... uh... Sofia. More time here and you'll get to know more about how to relate with her, she can be unbearing but she's not that bad, trust me." Mrs. Cali said to me as she went about her kitchen duties.I noticed how some other people of both genders joined her, some were cleaning while other washed. I didn't need anyone to tell me that they are the cleaners.I remained seated beside Camila who looked at me with concern, "Are you sure you didn't get told all of these though? Sofia seems so confident that she told you and gave the book to you." Camila said and I shook my head vehemently."She really didn't. At least, I don't remember hearing her say that ot even handing a book to me. This makes no sense at all, I would never have overslept if she had told me, why would I want to jeopardize my first day at work and my chance at a new life like that? I would never
