The maids continue with their usual chores. Riccardo on the other hand refuses to give her the space she wanted. Hands still warp on her on the bed. This is all he wanted all this time, her love and care, he believes he doesn't have to wait till the 90days for her to love him the way he wants. Carmella means the world to him now and nothing will change that.
Their faces were submitted to the ground immediately they step in. That's to show their loyalty and respect to the lord and his future queen. If you don't value your life? Disobey his orders.
"My lord, your bathtub is ready" Anna alarmed, head buried to the ground.
"Not yet, I'm not ready" he replies
"I think it's time you take your bath" Carmella exclaims, "what if you joined me?" She blushed over his request not that she hasn't bathed in the same bathroom with him naked before, just then, there's hatred for him and anger and nothing more but now, she's feeling the emotions she doesn't understand towards Riccardo's. He's a man who has kills and hands has sheds with blood, a man who brutally shows and not mercy. While did she feels something for him despite all he had done.
Her eyes filled with shyness, " you all should leave!" He commands, " do you agree to join me?" He said calmly at her. Kisses a soft and warm kiss on her hands. "Huh?"
"Maybe some other time, I'm tried"
"Okay if you say so"
His phone rings, he took it and checks the message sent to him. The face filled with joy and smiles throughout the morning die off, replaced by anger and rages. What the heck! Just happened that changed his mood? Carmella looks at him with wonder eyes,
"What happens?" She asked wanting to know the immediate change of mood. "Nothing" his voice becomes deeper than usual.
He gets off the bed, dresses in his clothes, and left without a word to Carmella. She was shocked by his sudden act, besides he'll forever be a Mafias king and not the man she wants.
Anna and the other maid's steps in after the advent of the lord from the room to resume their duties.
"My lady your foot wash," Anna asked to be permitted, Carmella gives her the approval she wants. She kneels before her as she Wash's her toes. "You two seem close today?" She whispered not for the others to eardrops on the discussion.
"At least it's lasted for 5hours before he returns to his old self" she whispered back.
"I see, here" she pleases a piece of paper hidden under Carmella's wet toes, making sure no one knows. Carmella stretches her hand to takes the hidden piece of paper. She opens it.
"What's the number from?"
"That's the number you're going to call after you're out of here"
"The time?"
"That's the time you should know the escape hours" still on a low tone.
That's the plan
