“That will be good.” I smiled again at her. She gave my hand a small squeeze earlier than I watched her retreat from the room.

My mom was nervous and certain needing a second to gather herself earlier than going through the person she hadn’t seen in over twenty-five years.

“We should always get you to the clinic first.” Damiano urged.

“I do know, however I want to do that first. I do know it’s going to be unhealthy information, however to have it confirmed… I don’t suppose I can have this dialog after.” I sighed. For now, I may fake the whole lot was positive with me.

“Are you positive?” Damiano’s eyes narrowed with concern as he studied my face.

“I’m, however it is best to relaxation, Damiano. You look drained.” I mentioned with fear.

“Are you saying I appear to be shit?” He raised a forehead.

“Just a bit.” I bit again a smile when he clicked his tongue at me.

Alexei and Nestor had been nonetheless by the automobile, ready patiently. I took a deep breath and approached him alone, with the others protecting a watchful eye.

I stood in entrance of him, feeling a bit awkward after studying who he really was to me.

“Are you okay?” Alexei requested, stunning me along with his light tone.

“I… Properly, I don’t know.” I replied honestly. My ideas had been scattered, and I used to be doing my finest to push by means of the turmoil. “It seems she’s alive.” I made a decision to say with a compelled chuckle.

Alexei and Nestor remained silent, their gazes fastened on my troubled expression.

“Comply with me.” I informed them and went again to the home with them shut behind. This time, Antonio and Giovanni adopted inside as nicely.

My mom was in the lounge, her again to us as she gazed out of the floor-length window. She rotated when she heard us enter, her eyes instantly locking onto Alexei. Neither of them spoke for an extended whereas, each merely watching one another.

Alexei was shocked on the sight of her. He had probably given up hope of ever seeing her once more a very long time in the past, and now she stood earlier than him for the primary time in a few years.

Then, his eyes turned icy chilly, and he shot her a menacing glare.

“You damned girl!” And he pulled out his gun.

Properly, shit.

100 twenty-two

Althaia

As quickly as Alexei drew his gun, Damiano pulled me behind him, and his males adopted swimsuit, fingers on the triggers and able to hearth. Earlier than any photographs could possibly be fired, Nestor shortly pushed Alexei apart, and a knife narrowly missed Alexei’s head.

Stunned and confused, everybody turned to look within the course from which the knife had come. My mom had her brows pinched together with her gaze locked on Alexei, prepared with one other knife in her hand.

“Did you neglect how she cherished to do this to you?” Nestor sighed at Alexei, although his consideration remained fastened on my mom, his expression full of anger.

“Looks as if her purpose is off.” Alexei sneered.

“It’s not off; it was merely a warning. I received you as soon as, and I can do it once more.” My mom spoke calmly.

I gaped in shock as I watched the tense standoff between them — my… dad and mom.

“Okay, let’s all simply take a second to relax.” I mentioned and moved round Damiano to face each Alexei and my mom. Damiano stopped me, however I assured him I might be positive. I doubted they might do something if I stood in between them. “Let’s attempt to be regular, civilized individuals for a second and decrease your weapons.” I advised rigorously.

“Keep out of it. That is between your mom and me.” Alexei hissed, his gaze by no means leaving my mom.

“Don’t discuss to my daughter like that!” My mom snapped at him, and her phrases solely additional fueled Alexei’s rage.
