Chapter 8 Punishment

• Eva
• Curiosity took the better part of me but I couldn't do much about it.
• Seeing Diego and his minions march out of the room,I knew he was going to handle something important, I couldn't just sneak out and follow them, Nicole is in the room cleaning with me.
• If I abandoned this, it would look suspicious, and Dominik's words came to me where he said I should abandon the operation for now.
• That decision was hard, for my own safety and success of this I have to comply.
• Cleaning grumpily, Nicole's annoying voice humming away. It took me some moments before I turned back to the other half of the dining room where Nicole is supposed to be almost done too.
• I made an unconscious double take, when I looked at her, the bitch was sitting down, her cleaning materials long abandoned, chewing away at her gum.
• “What are you doing?” I asked.
• “I am done with my work for today” she snapped, looking like she was wasting her time talking to me.
• I have had just enough of this human.
• “What do you mean by that, we ought to do this together” I took a challenging step towards.
• I can endure being shoved to the wall, looked down upon by the Morettos because I know I will gut them down but I definitely am not going to let this low life order me around and take me for a fool.
• “You can continue this” she said gesturing at her half done work.
• “It's literally too early to get angry, please don't be the one to start me off on the wrong foot” I warned, taking more steps towards her.
• She noticed I was being challenging and the coward decided to take the easy way out.
• “I am leaving, I don't want to be around a crazy human” she made a move to leave and I pulled her back, quickly picking up the fork that was just used by Diego and brandishing it in front of her”
• “You will stay and you will work” I gritted out, anger clouding my sight.
• “Now that's enough”
• “Now you stay out of this…” the word have only left my mouth when I realized that I wasn't talking to my inner self.
• The voice came out harsh and low in a command mode.
• God no no no…
• “ How dare you speak to me like that”
• I straightened up quickly “ I'm sincerely sorry Signore, I didn't know you were the one, I thought you left…”
• “ Me leaving doesn't mean you have the right to bully anybody”
• “ I didn't bully h…”
• “You don't speak, when I speak “ he spat out, stepping closer and grabbing my neck, his exterior still calm, it's only his actions that can give away whatever he was feeling.
• Blue eyes stared at brown ones.
• And right now he is holding tightly to my neck. I have a great instinct to kick his groin, but I thought that it would blow my cover.
• I just have to act like a helpless girl.
• I didn't have to act long as he let go of me a few moments later, earning a hysteric cough fit from me.
• He walked towards the table, picked up his crystal stone that looked familiar and tucked it into his pocket.
• Oh that was why he came back.
• but I didn't pay attention as I focused my gaze back to him.
• He folded his hands behind him, giving the karate master look, and walked towards the large window in the dining room with a calculated calmness. His back turned to us.
• His presence so dominating and intimidating.
• The air around grew hotter even as the weather was really cold and cloudy outside and the room grew tighter. How did I not notice a presence in the room?
• Immediately his back was turned to us, Nicole wiped the lone tear she had managed to force out and gave me a tight lipped smile like she had won.
• No bitch, she doesn't get to smile like that.
• “You won't go unpunished for disrespecting me and bullying a colleague,I want you in here tomorrow along with her, then you will receive your punishment. Now go.” he ordered and I find myself scrambling on my feet alongside Nicole.
• Both of us scurrying away from the scary man.
• Gosh why am I this stubborn, I might ruin everything I am working for if I don't get a hold of my anger.
• My inner self kept rambling.
• But thinking back,I couldn't believe the unfairness of the situation. I clenched my fists but kept my head down. Without another word, I exited the room, Nicole following closely behind, her triumphant smirk making me want to scream and pull out her hair.
• “Enjoy your punishment”
• I choose to ignore her because I know if I do, I would probably kill the bitch.
• As I walked down the hallway, I could feel the weight of Diego's threat hanging over me, the anger radiating off of me was much.I needed to keep my head down, just like Dominik had instructed, but it was becoming increasingly difficult with every passing day. But I have to stay strong.
• I had to stay focused. For now, I'd survive the punishment and bide my time. Diego wouldn't break me. No one would.The real fight was just beginning.
• But I couldn't help but wonder what this punishment would be, I hope it wouldn't be as deadly as the man in question.
• What I know for sure is that Nicole just made an enemy out of me, that lying, conniving bitch will get a taste of her medicine, I would definitely gut her down when she least expects it.
• With that thought, I patiently waited for what my punishment would look like or rather sound like.
