Chapter 8: How to Love You? (Part 1)

Julia opened her eyes and looks at her surrounding. She's sweating and her head felt dizzy. She sighed. It's just a nightmare. Just in time, she saw her phone vibrating on the floor and she picked her phone.

"Hello?" She did not hear a voice from the caller. Julia took a deep breath and hung up the call.

"Morning" Julia looks at Giusto and raised her eyebrow, "I thought you were in your study room," Julia looks at Marino's bed as Giusto gave her a coffee.

"I fell asleep." she drank her coffee.

"Are you ready to meet DiNozzo?" Julia shook her head.

"It's Sunday. I want to get some rest." Julia stormed out and followed by Giusto. She looks Mariano plays with his friend, Julia face palmed herself. She rashly walked to her bedroom.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia opened the window and took a deep breath. It was sunny and warmth with fluffy clouds drifted across the sky, but not for her. "Cecilia, what are you doing!?" Maria held her hand to preventing her from falling.

Cecilia sat lean on the wall while Maria called Rico. She tries to call him several times, but still he's not shown up. She looks at Cecilia cried, and covering her face. Maria rubs Cecilia's hair gently.

"I'm still in love with Chester, Nanny. I don't know why he dumped me," Rico hid behind the wall. He overs hears again, "it's because I'm blind!?" Maria rubs her great-granddaughter to calm. Rico clenched his jaw and fist and walked away.

Maria hugged her, "can you help me stand up?" Cecilia helped her Nanny to stand up. They looked out at the window. "There's a lot of fish out there, dear. Don't be sad." She leaned her head on Maria's shoulder.

"When I first met your great-Nonno, I was married to a man," she said. Cecilia straightened her body and wiped her tears because she heard someone walked to approach them.

"Ms. Salvatore wants to meet you." Cecilia stood up and took a deep breath. They escort Cecilia, and Rico showed up.

"Giusto, when I can meet your boss!?" Rico said in a low tone. He doesn't want Cecilia knows, who really he was. Cecilia escorted by another of Julia's henchmen while Giusto talked to Rico. Cecilia gets inside the car.

She cried in silence, and the memory of when her boyfriend dumped her played inside her head. "Are you alright, miss?" Cecilia ignores his questions. She leaned her head and looked into space.

"May I ask you what's wrong?" Mr. Anderson asked.

Cecilia wiped her tears, "I'm fine," Cecilia straighten her body and took a deep breath. Mr. Anderson, Julia's chaufer, was not sure if she's okay. He turned the car to the left.

He looks at Cecilia and smiled. Cecilia furrowed her eyebrow as she wiped her remaining tears. Mr. Anderson gave his handkerchief.

"Whatever it was your problem, Miss. How much more difficult it was. Please don't give up." Cecilia wiped her tears as she listened to Mr. Anderson.

"Thank you." Cecilia took a deep breath.

"I have a daughter." Mr. Anderson said. Cecilia hunched again.

Since that accident make her blind, Cecilia closed herself to anyone but Chester. Chester was her childhood friend and they've been together since they were 18. Cecilia took a deep breath and straightened her body. She clenched the handkerchief.

Julia's POV

Julia bite her thumb, and crossed her leg while she scrolled her feed. "Huh? What a flamboyant lifestyle." Julia swiped her Instagram's feed. A Don, covered as CEO, makes her overwhelmed sometimes. She tries her best to not looks suspicious and undetected by the IRS and law enforcement.

Salvatore Group founded by her own money, but circumstance made her commit unthinkable and all of them because of her great-grandfather, Vito.

Julia stood up and stretching her body, "Ms. Salvatore?" Julia looks at her back, and she approached Cecilia.

"I'm sorry…" Cecilia hugs her tight and crying on her embrace.

"Help me…" Julia took a deep breath and hugged her. Julia waiting for Cecilia to stop crying. She can't breathe. She wants to cry. Julia looked at Cecilia. She's trembling and cried, and she wants to kill someone who hurt the angel likes her.

Enough with this situation. She cupped her face and kissed Cecilia's lips.

Cecilia widen her eyes because Julia kissed her lips twice. Without a doubt, Cecilia replied to her kiss and closed her eyes.

"Ju…." Camelia's words cut when she saw her crush kiss another girl. Her face start turned into red and clenched her jaw. She watched until they were out of breath. Camelia walked away to the garage, and she stomped her feet.

Julia and Cecilia opened their eyes slowly and looked at each other. Julia wiped Cecilia's tears, then hugged her. "Tell me," she said, "how can I help you?" Julia stroked her hair.

"Who made you cry!? Who made an angel like you crying?" Julia waiting her to speak, but no avail. The blind Cecilia rubbed her cheek, and they kissed again.

Julia looks at Cecilia's face, and she rubbed her cheek. "I don't know why I feel comfortable when I'm around you," Julia leaned her back and closed her eyes.

"Are you alright, Don?" Julia took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Same nightmare," Julia holds Cecilia's tangled on Cecilia's hand tight.

"She cried on the way to your mansion. I don't know what's going on," Julia nodded.

"It's okay, Mr. Anderson. Love problem." Julia took a deep breath and picked her phone. "Mr. Anderson, can we stop by at DiNozzo's clan territory?" Julia calls someone, but the person the one she called did not pick up.

Mr. Anderson turned the radio on, and she took a deep breath. "Turned that off." He turned off the radio and took a glance at his boss. Julia took a deep breath and looked at her watch. Since her great Nonno was dead in front of her, she drowns herself with grief.

Julia took a deep breath, then sighed. She looks at Cecilia, who was sleeping. She pulled her head to lean on her shoulder. When she is at her side, she feels something weird. A feeling wants her so badly. Julia never felt so comfortable like this before. Even she's already slept and meet a bunch of a pretty woman in her circle, she never felt like this before.

A ringing sound makes Julia stopped her thought and took a deep breath. Julia looked at her phone and picked the phone.

"Giusto, where are you?" Julia asked, then she hung up the phone.

She gave her chauffeur signal to go to the police station.
