It's have be a while
"aunt, we have to get ready fast before Violetta gets tired of waiting!" Carmella informed Bianca who's still in the bathroom taking her slow bath.
"We're going to see your friend, not the president himself!" She snapped back
"Whatever, hurry up we don't have much time left"
"Gosh Rosa, we're running from people remember"
"What's people?" She paused like her memories have forgotten they were running away from the mafia hood. Like she forgot about it all of a sudden. It feels her old life was back to her, perhaps it's was only In her fantasy. This is reality, and fucking real that her life is in danger. All she was thinking now was to get to Violetta's place as soon as possible. She laid her hands on her stomach, is there any child in. It's has been three months and some days now but no signs of her stomach popping up. At least, it's a good thing, no one has to know she was pregnant or carrying a baby in her womb.
"I'm done commander," Bianca said but she seems not in the state of listening to anyone except her voice inside. "Rosa" Bianca calls but she still stands close to the window, hands on her belly.
Bianca walks closer to her. "what are you thinking?" She asked. " Thinking how to kills this baby in my womb" she answered but her eyes never seem to blink or move from the angle it's facing. Bianca was scared and terrified about her answer but she seems she was in the mood of lust in thought.
"Rosa, " she holds on to her. " Snap out of it!" She shouts. Carmella was back to her sense, she looks at her aunt with worries about why is she standing here with a warped towel across her chest. She should begin getting ready.
"Rosa, are you okay?" She asked, " okay? Of course I am, I should be asking you why are you still on your towels instead of dressing up and..." before she could finish her statement, Bianca hugged her.
"I don't want to lose you, I promise to do everything for you and your child to be alive. I promise. Sorry for not being there for you when you want someone close to you, am sorry"
"Aunt..., There's no time for that. Violetta would begin waiting for us now please hurry up and get dressed"
"Okay," she wipes away the little tears on her eyes. "I'll go get dressed now"
"Good"
"I love you," she said
"I love you too" Bianca kissed her on the head. "I will be right back" she went in to dress up.
Carmella smiles, she didn't know what happened a few minutes ago. All she knows was that she was lost in thoughts. She touched her belly again and cupped a smile.
"I love you whatever you're, a boy or a girl. Mummy promises to protect you with all her life and you also have a lovely careful aunt who's would stand beside you. You get your mum, aunt, and mum silly friend Violetta, she's going to spoiled you with a lot of chocolate and candy" she chuckled happily like she was loving this motherhood she was trying to become. Bianca pip on her, watching the way she was talking to her unborn child, it's reminds her of her mother too. She always talks to her unborn child Carmella then. They both are the same.
All she could think of is the safety of Carmella and her unborn child out of this country, she knows it would be easy for them to pass through. She sighed, trying to get this situation out in a better way for her to get Carmella out of Italy to any Asian country that would be safe for her. That's no of the circle members would get to her not even Riccardo.
"Aunt! Are you done dressing?" Carmella asked. "No time!" She added, Bianca, rolls her eyes.
"Oh really what on earth did my brother bought her from," Bianca said to herself.
"I can hear that" she alarmed.
What's! But Bianca loves the drama between them sometimes it brings back the old memories of the past to her. When she and her brother always tease each other on everything. That's the same teasing Carmella inherited from her father. They loved joking and guessing all the time they were together.
Bianca's family history began from the mafia hood. All though she looks so young and stunning, couldn't tell she was that old.
Her family was one of the initial members of the circle. The Francesco always have their way on anyone they want to initiate into the mafia hood. Her family joined the circle for power, wealth, and protection. Then the family was to runs in politics and being in politics, you had to have money and power in the society. The family wages were not enough to rums the system or goes into it. They need help from one of the more influential and powerful family knows and respects the society that's happened to be Francesco. The Francesco have lots of influence in all theirs lives and existence. And no harm has fallen on them.
Luigi has no choice but to seek help from Francesco. They offer to do anything Francesco asked for them but the Francesco offered them the chance to bring in the circle that's is the only they can get the protection and wealth they seek.
The Luigi's wanted it all, they want the power and richest for their family names to be on the top. Then when a family name appears to be on the top, respect and loyalty are treated to them but that was the mistake the Luigi's made in the 1800century a price need to be paid before the initiation.
A word for a word, a price to a price, and a deal for a deal in the opposite way: a power for power, blood for blood, and a man for a man that the old quiz of the word the Francesco initial then.
The Luigi's offered one of their oldest brothers to be offered to complete the ritual. The oath was taken and a covenant was made to every member that joined the Mafia hood then. What drive people then was money and power and it's still driving them now.
The Luigi's thought it's was the right thing to do for their family names to be at the top of the list in the society. They do win the political election and power was given to them and wealth. The ritual continues from century to century. Bianca's mother hates the circle and decides to takes her and her brother away but her father killed her for disobeying his rules that's the circle is forever there and forever it's convenient for the old Luigi's made from the beginning of theirs initiation.
The price has to be paid and has been worked for there's no turning back or going against it now. Her brother never wants it but the fear of their father was initiate in it.
The mafia hood has taken everything away from her, her family, and every line of the Luigi's. She doesn't want that same act to take away the one person she had in this world, Carmella. She would do anything to keep her safe even if it's involved putting her life in the line.
She grins and dressed up.
Carmella was so desperate to meet Violetta, she was just practicing how she's going to explain herself to her for the sudden disappearance all these days and the immediate arrival. She continues to practice her words causing Bianca to laugh out her lungs.
"You should focus on your driving instead of laughing at me" she warned.
"Sorry my majestic but you look so funny I what you're doing right"
"You don't know Violetta, she can begin a little bossing sometime and especially when you refuse to tell her something very serious to you and she found out in her own occur. It's would be funny to you."
"But she will understand you were kidnapped and locked up in an old fancy Mansion and never to come out again until your amazing looking prince came to save you, it's just like the story of Princess Rose who sleeps for One hundred years for her prince charming to come and saved her"
"But exactly I was not saved by a prince I was saved by a woman Bella" her mind immediately flashback to Bella's, she did a lot to save her and didn't know the state of her she's into her what if that asshole did something bad to her? She prayer Bella's should be saved she had always been a good nanny and a friend to her on all her staying in the mansion. She still remembers the way she plays with her when she was a kid that smile and joy she usually seems in her face were gone forever she never wants life to be this way to anyone. Now they're going from one place to the other for safety.
It's a risk going to visit Violetta but she thought she would be the only one to help them get food and a roof over theirs heads for a while before they make another plan on how to get out of this country. Bianca is running out of money and they need a place to hang out first before the other requirements are made. There's no one to trust and no one to ask for help except Violetta was the only person that comes into her mind she doesn't want to involve her foster parent in this for all they have done for her after all years. She wished she could report this case to the headquarter but she doesn't know how because there's no evidence to back her up in these and no one is going to believe her if she said she was used by their head leader In the ISS Alfonso!
. Life's fucking fucks up! What's can she do except running away from them. She sighed to relieve herself.
"What's in your mind?" Bianca asked watching her face from the front window. " Nothing aunt" she replies getting suffocating with the situation she's in. " Don't worry, life can be these hard sometimes but you have to get it through, this is not the deadline Rosa" Bianca said to encourage her that this was not the bus stop for them.
She looks down to her belly and touches it. "You're right aunt there is not the end of the road for Us", smiles "everything is going to be okay for us, mummy is going to make it right" she tapped her belly.
"So what're your plans," Bianca asked wanting to know what's her little niece was planning on her mind. " Why don't we wait for a while and know our next step, the mafia hood would never get away with this"
"You're right but takes it easy you need to relax remember you're pregnant"
Carmella smiles, " I know aunt that the reason I will forever Love and protect my child from the mafia hood" Bianca chuckled.
"But aunt, were my dad a member of the mafia hood?" Bianca pause, how would she tell her that they were once members of the circle and that their hands have shed innocent blood from the past. It's a Custom they have to follow in the circle. There's no child-initiated in the mafia hood who has killed or learn how to use the guns. To her, they're all murderers and bloodsuckers.
Is the life she had lived all her childhood life. If they refuse not to do it, there's will be a severe beating and punishment to continue what your forefathers have started.
She couldn't open her mouth to speak out to her niece that she was once them even her mother too.
"Aunt, you're not saying anything. Were my parents once in the members of the mafia hood?" She asked again.
" Oh We're here," she said to distract her. Carmella looks at the window, they are here! In front of Violetta's apartment building.
Oh my gosh! She doesn't what to do or how to address herself again. She looks at her aunt who finds it funny to see her acting restless. "Aunt, stops laughing do I looks ok?" She asked addressing herself.
'"you look perfectly ok"
"Okay, if you said so" she quickly opens the car door by herself and walks out, she stares amused at the entrance of the doorway. Feeling a bit nervous, really nervous like a child who committed a terrible crime at home and decides to run away and comes back after a while to explain herself to her parents.
"What's are you waiting for?" Bianca asked still in the car. "Are you not getting your ass down from the car?" She asked narrowed her eyebrows at Bianca who's finding every little moment to laugh at her.
"You love teasing right aunt, or do you want me to grab you out of the car?" She asked angrily, Bianca is getting on her nerves. "What if I said I liked the company in the car more. Who's know the circle men could show up at any time from now" she laughed.
"That's not funny, you have to come out or else" she warned. "Or else what?" Bianca snapped back at her.
"Oh really" she walks to the front seat and starts dragging Bianca out through the car window. They both argue and keep on each other.
"Carmella?" Violetta calls. They both stopped their childish play. She was shocked and nervous, it has been good three months and some days now for the both of them to see each other. "You're In big trouble" Bianca whispered. "Shut up Aunt!" She roars
"Aunt?" Violetta asked confusedly, who's is she calling aunt? She or the lady in the car? But that lady looks super stunning and young or had Carmella taken some alcohol drinks she shouldn't take.
"What aunt exactly?" Violetta's asked hands warped against each other. Waiting for the shy Carmella to turn her face to her.
"I'm waiting and getting impatient with you now. You know how angry I'm when you kept me waiting for too long" she threatened.
Carmella swallows her saliva. but this keeps Bianca laughing, all the events seem funny to her. It's like Violetta was a mother to Carmella. She never knows Carmella can be this calm and gentle over a friend before. This was the first time she's seeing it and she wants to enjoy it till it's finished.
"Carmella, am fucking waiting!" Violetta's calls,
"Carmella, she's waiting why don't you just turn around and see your mother" she jokes, Carmella, hits her in her arms.
"It's all your fault" she pinched her
"Ouch! That's hurt!" Bianca screams.
"Carmella stops being naughty and turns or did you takes some alcohol along the way?" Violetta asked, but Carmella still backs her and was afraid to move.
"Oh my gosh! She's drunk!" Violetta places her hand on her lips.
