What kept you this long?

Her heart beats in a frighten path as her eyes fixed on the massive black gates standing in front of her. She really didn't  rehearsal herself on what to say to him when their eyes meet. This is exhausting but she had to do it for sake of Carmella. 

She sighed a sharp breath looking at the massive gate before it opens up to her.

She drives in and were direct by the men standings at the entrance end where to park her car. She obeyed every command they gave her, didn't want to upset anyone and go through the previous torment she went through. 

"Here?" She asked if possible she had park her car well in the right place them want it to be. The men nodded in replied giving her the satisfied grips. 

She steps out of her cars and saw a new brand  collection of cars laying straight in a single line at the park lot, with views of all the cars she could tell they're exclusive expensive. Is this how rich the Riccardo is? She knows the man must be a lot of cash but didn't expect it to be this much. Her eyes fixed marvelously at the beautiful different sizes of cars laying straight in the large massive compound.

"This way madam" one of the men direct her pointing at the entrance of the huge fancy building. The door was opened by two loyal men standing at each end of the door. 

Violetta walks in with eyes picking every view of the mansion, her mouth goes wide at the view and the suitable magnificent  things used in the house to gives it lively looks.

"Madam" the man called again, driving her out of her fantasy views. "Huh?" She asked, trying to fix in the a suitable woman looks.

She was directed to the huge living chamber. She meet a man sitting backward at them and his eyes feed on the magazine on his hands. 

"Here madam have your seat" the man instructed. "Thank you,"  her words breaks as her eyes gazed at the man with the magazine.

The gruad man left. "You surely have an amazing house" she commented, looking around to fixed herself on beautiful things that would drive away her worries.

"Huh" the man just answered with a sound. 

"I must tell you have a good decorative" yet no response from the man and it's seem like he's not turn any second to see her face.

She adjusted herself on the chair very well, looks straight at the man. 

" I know this sounds crazy but I need your help" She said, yet no response from that guy. She's getting frustrating on how he was acting now! She still remember the day he came to her asking nicely about the whereabout of Carmella and now? He's acting hard man to her? She had go through lot of stress already and didn't need more, all she fucking wants is Carmella safety not some other stupid game. 

"Please,I need your face on me when am talking" she surely speaks out in boldness not minding the outrage of her action. Like she had thought before and again, nothing matters to her now than the safety of Carmella . She blame herself of being a bad friend who sold her bestie out to some asshole.

The he turns at her.

"You truely has a running mouth, don't you?" 

She looks up at the face and seen it not the one she was expecting to see. But other beautiful immortal like the one she last saw, she looks properly again and again if she had see this face before in some like the club, not up to the looks of the last cold prince she saw.

She must confess the men close to this Riccardo are all good looking include himself. 

"Who the fuck are you?" She asked, looking pale, or how they playing some source of game on her? She called Riccardo and not some asshole. 

"Well, he said you have a piss mouth but I can hang up just for him if not.." before Matteo can finished up his words Violetta cuts in. 

"If not exactly?" She asked looking furious at him. Where the hell did Riccardo met this bitch, she's just annoyed like her friend even though he had never have the chance of chatting with Carmella, he knows she just like her through the way Riccardo seem offended most of the time. 

"Am asking you a question, if not what?" She asked again, wants to know what the asshole has in mind.

Gosh! This bitch is humiliating to argue anything with, she didn't seen scared of him or acting shyly like other girls normally do when they meet him. There must be something wrong with this bitch for having such a big mouth to blabbing. 

He picks up his phone from the little stool standing close to the chair he sat on. He dialed a number ignoring Violetta acting.

"Hello, your piss mouth is here" he said to the person on the line. 

"Okay, I be here"

He ends the call and look at the woman sitting opposite at him looking piss up the way he described her. 

"Do you just called me a pissed mouth!" 

"No, I called you a piss mouth" correcting her error. "Who cares about the way it been pronounce! A pissed mouth is also a piss mouth!"  She continues with her yelling

"You're a good for nothing asshole, you can't even address a woman properly just because you're good looking? Looking good my toe!" She keeps on babbling and complaining about his looks and attitude. Matteo seen to be impressed with the way this woman talks without even a break stop add to it .

Where did Riccardo get her from? She seem interesting and same time amazing, this might be the type of woman he should hook up with. She flamely and brave, didn't gives a fuck about the his looks or his appearance. How would she feels like being fucks on the bed with that running no stop mouth of hers, would she also keeps on speaking on the bed? 

Matteo eyes focused on the running lips of hers, can imagine of kissing the hell out of them. 

"Would you like a kiss to shut the fuck up?" He asked narrowed his eyebrows.

"What?" Violetta asked confusedly at the man smiling on his side lips at her. What the fuck did he just said now? Did he just mentioned the word kiss her lips? 

This bastard!

She wanted to release her ocean of words on him before she heard her name.

"Violetta?" A malo deep voice called on to her, she looks up the stairs and saw the immortal prince she was waiting for, no other but Riccardo, wearing on a white shirt exposing his sexy chest. looks sweaty from that she  resume he might being going through some workout or taking his bath before she gets in.

Mouth open widened, " I think you should shut your mouth before an insect build in a home" Matteo said, smirking devilishly at her.  She looks at him with an narrow eye. 

"I see you having a good time with my cousin Mattoe" he said still on the stairs remaining some few more steps down.

"Cousin?" No wonder the two have same cold characters. 

"I think, I would leave the two of you together" he said, stands up from his seat and walks closer to her. His hands plays on her neck ignoring the presence of Riccardo's. He can't leave just like that without a little test on this babbling angel.

"What are you doing?" She asked, attempting to pushed off his hands on her but he keeps them back holding her hand forcedly to fight against.

"Just relax little doll" he kissed her, he kissed her? A lady who was planning to get married some few days left? She was shocked and didn't know what to say or complain for. 

"See you later my little doll" he left,

Riccardo just sat down watching their romance scene, Violetta was lost in thoughts and frozen on her seat. No moving or even blinking her eyes. She was just like that about thirty minutes of slience between her and Riccardo who didn't pay her any attention on what his cousin did. 

"So, what about Carmella?" He asked breaking the slience mood between them. 

"Oh Carmella?" She slaps back to her reality.

"Yes, my woman" he draws his words.

"Yes,yes, yes, on that I need your help"  Riccardo looks at her what possibly help did she want, have Carmella decided of coming back to him? He was curious about the help Violetta needs and hope it's a good news to please his heart. 

"Carmella is in trouble"

He almost fell down to the sound of the word trouble and the frightening looks on the woman face show something were wrong. 

What could have possibly be the matter? He sat adjusted himself to act as lord he is. 

"What the heck?" His deep voice asks, 

"Is Carmella, I have done the worst to her and know she'll never forgive me"  Riccardo kept slient to hears what exactly the she meant by all these, what the exact point? 

"I sold her out to retrieve my niece who was captured in the hands of someone called Loenardo" 

"What!" His thunderstorm voice asked, what the hell did him just heard? His Carmella was retrieve to that bastard! Of all people same Leonardo! Someone might be playing games with him!

Violetta was frighten by his voice, she had never seen a handsome immortal immediately turns into a beast all of a sudden. She believes if the so called Leonardo is here his eyes would have burned him off liked a flaming ashes. 

She remains still no movement as her eyes begged for mercy, she knows she didn't offend him. If is Carmella reacting these to her, she would accept it hopefully she made a big mistake but this handsome firing lord in front of her. 

"How could that shit !" He rise up from his seat with burning anger. It's looks like the Strom has fell on the top of the house. She just muted to his reaction. 

"If I get my hands on that bastard I'll rips off his neck without a second thought!" 

His thunderstorm voice draws the attention of his members. With the way his voice was rising this high, they believe it had something to do with Carmella. 

His breathing become  hard, and his cold lovely eyes which appears sweetly to Violetta from the start become hell of his own and colder. He seem the way the lady was scared and terrified at him, he low down his voice lower not to get her off the hook. Besides is not her fault, she had no choice but to offer her friend inorder for her niece to be saved. 

"How did it happen?" He asked calmly, Violetta was too scared to answer his question as her words fell off along the way.

 "He....." She stemmered.

"I think that's much for now" Matteo concluded, standing at close to the stairs while the others walking down the steps. 

"What the commotion?" Mia asked, " that's I can't get my beautiful sleep" with the look on Riccardo face she shut her hell mouth up.

"How long?" Mattia asked, still on his pajamas. "Today" Violetta answered still shaking from the previous reaction display by Riccardo. "Early this morning" 

"What kept you this long? Why don't you report directly to me when he captured your niece?" He asked, looking fiercely at the lady who seem lost in fear. 

She still kept muted, what happens to the handsome looking prince that turns  to this looking cold devil breathing flames out of his nostrils. She scary looks up at the man face standing fiercely in front of her.

"Riccardo, I think she had a reason for that. Why don't we think of way to get Carmella out of the hands of that bastard Leonardo" Matteo suggested, "I fully agree with Mattoe on this, I think that's what we should begin doing because if we scolded her for now till tomorrow it's would change a thing" Lucia added, for the first time in history she stood by a man word, she fully hates the sight of Mattoe right from childhood because he acts silly to her liking. But for this? For this he acts maturely sensible on this, that's he stands for the right of a woman for the first time.

Matteo, who used to be a player and slut finally acknowledge the right of woman.

"Sure this slut man had a thing for her" Franco whispered to Lucia ears. "Yeah, I fucking know" she whispered back. 

"Now get what we all needed to burn that bastard down!" Riccardo roars and left the living chamber in pool of flames.

"I guess we have a war then" Mattia said stretch his hands for relief. 

"Yeah, a war we need to finish and end that asshole in his grave once and for all" Mia grinds her teeth in anger. 

"Who exactly?" Mattie asked in a mocking tone, making Mia more furious, "you bitch!" She yells, breathing hard. She hates the sound of that asshole name Leonardo right from their childhood since he trying to be the chosen one meanwhile he's not. He just like a slave like the rest of them in the circle, he never compared himself with the others proving he was special especially when his loyal friendship was declare by the lordship himself. 

That's a asshole for real! 

"I think we all know what to do, prepare for war!" Mattia announced, and all disappear except Mattoe. 

"Seem you're still in your terrified nightmare" Matteo mumbled to break the silent between them. She was completely lost in fear, can someone this godly looking become a beast? She question her thoughts to know what's going on around her. She was here to set her friend free not putting herself in danger.

She turns to see the man face, who has sat down comfortably close to her. What amused this idiot, she was terrified at the so called Riccardo and here he were finding every acts amusing. 

"That's just the beginning of his face, you haven't see the beast in him and I prayed you shouldn't cause it dangerous" he warned, smirks devilishly at the looking scared woman. 

Violetta didn't utter a word to him, she just stayed mute thinking what they're going to do to get Carmella out of the hands of Alfonso. They didn't give her the chance to complete the statements, all she could do was to stop at the halfway but she believes that the three men will be in a battle field and that would lead them to Carmella.

"Carmella is not with Leonardo, she's with a guy called Alfonso" she said still shaking in fear. 

"Huh?" Matteo plays to ignore her as his eyes focused on his phone. 

"Didn't you heard me?" She asked,

"I heard you clear and enough, Carmella is not with Alfonso, you don't have to worry"

Now the fear and shivering has been break off. "What do you mean?" 

He looks at her, "she's not with Alfonso cause he's dead now she's with Leonardo"

"But...how...?" She was Short of words, how ? How did he knows.

"How.." a finger was placed on her lips to shut her up. " I hates women who talks too much" his phone rings. 

"I'll be here" he walks out without a word to her or looks at her direction. 

Violetta was scared, what was going on? Her mind races.
