Chapter 128: Luca And Nadia Rossi!
Chapter 128: Luca And Nadia Rossi!
It’s been a week since the incident that happened at the mall. Everything has been taken care of, even the media.
No matter how hard Eduardo searched for the news on the internet, he didn’t find anything. He sat in the lobby with guards everywhere. At the balcony, at the main door and also David standing behind him.
It’s been like that ever since that day. To make sure nothing bad happened to Eduardo, his father had three capable guards follow him everywhere.
He was busy staring at the screen of his phone when he went straight to his social media account. The same one that Marcello created for him. He still had just one follower and that was Marcello.
Eduardo has been resisting the urge to tap Marcello’s profile and check what he has been doing, but he held himself back.
David, who was standing behind could see him struggling.
’Marcello Diabolo? I’ve heard that name before...’
He thought to himself, waiting for Eduardo to tap his profile, but they were interrupted when the butler assigned to Eduardo entered the lobby. He lowered his head.
"Young master, you have a guest"
"A guest? I wasn’t expecting anyone" he replied, tilting his head in confusion. He had just arrived in Russia, he didn’t have anyone to call a friend. Besides, his sister went back to the States after giving him a million and one warning to stay away from Fabio.
"He told me to tell you about his red hair"
Eduardo’s eyes widened when he heard that.
"Oh, it’s Luca. Let him come in" he said.
He leaned back on the chair he was seated. He never thought that he would one day be the one to accept Luca Rossi as a guest. A few months ago, he was a slave in his house and now... He’s a young master.
"Life is indeed... Uh, I don’t know" he grumbled.
He heard footsteps and raised his head.
Luca was standing there with his red hair and expensive jacket. He also received a lot of compensation from Antonio since Charlotte ruined his family. He was even able to save his father’s business from collapsing and has become the head of the Rossis.
"You’re back to your... red hair," Eduardo said.
Luca coughed out a laugh and cleared his throat.
"Good afternoon, young master" he greeted.
Eduardo smirked.
"You don’t have to greet me like that. Even if you do, I won’t forget the fact that you pressed my head to the floor with your feet," Eduardo said. The guards immediately took out their guns, preparing to attack Luca.
He immediately raised his hands, surrendering before anything happened.
A tiny figure that was hiding behind him jumped out and spread her hands in front of her brother.
"Don’t kill him, please!" She yelled.
Eduardo raised his hand and they lowered their guns.
"I wasn’t going to. Welcome, lady Nadia" Eduardo greeted with a warm smile.
Nadia was the only person who treated him well after he found himself in a strange place. She was a kind and loving person.
Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes. She rushed to him and hugged him tight where he was seated.
"Hey, Nadia! You can’t touch him recklessly" Luca yelled, trying to stop his sister, but he froze when Eduardo gently pat her back.
"You have no idea how worried I was when that monster dragged you back" she cried. "I’m sorry, I should have been more careful"
Eduardo smiled and they broke the hug.
"I’m fine, thanks for worrying," he said, handing her his handkerchief.
Nadia wiped the tears off her eyes, careful not to ruin her make-up. She found someone closer to Eduardo and sat there.
Eduardo signalled the butler to get some refreshments and their discussion continued.
They started talking about random things. Though Eduardo didn’t remember anything about that period, he learnt about the real Eduardo from them.
"It’s my mistake, I should have talked father out of sending you to Italy. That monster tried to harm you" Luca slammed his hand on the armrest.
Eduardo leaned against the chair, listening to Luca and Nadia’s chat. It’s almost as if he’s not there.
David was also learning more about Eduardo. He couldn’t take his eyes off him at all.
’So he had this kind of childhood. Who the hell is this monster they keep talking about?’
"I told you how Marcello forcefully kissed Eduardo at the airport after killing one of my guards" Nadia folded her hands angrily.
Eduardo sat there with no expression on his face. It happened a long time ago, so he didn’t care. More has happened between him and Marcello by the way.
David heard that and clenched his fist tight behind him.
’It’s not my concern that he was kissed, but why am I getting angry? Kiss? Marcello? Why does that make sound familiar?’
David raised his brow re-collecting how Eduardo was stopping himself from clicking his profile. He wished he could ask questions, but he just stood there, keeping guard. His heart was beating faster than normal.
"He’s worse than a devil," Luca said.
"I... I don’t think he’s that bad. I mean, he saved me then" she said.
Eduardo raised an eyebrow, including Luca. He was the most confused person. They already knew and believed that Marcello had no hand in killing their parents.
But, they weren’t aware that without Marcello, Nadia would have died.
"What are you talking about?" Luca asked.
"Well, you see... That day, I was in my room when the fire started. I couldn’t breathe when I tried to escape and I passed out by the stairs. I thought I was going to die but someone saved me and carried me... I thought it was the attackers, so I pretended to be dead. He took me to the cold room and..." She paused and remembered the words he said before leaving...
"I hope your brother comes for you, or you’ll freeze to death,"
"That’s all" she shrugged.
Luca almost didn’t believe it. If it was Marcello telling him this, he would have angrily punched a hole in his face for lying, but it’s coming from his sister.
"I guess I owe him a huge apology and appreciation"
"I could have done that myself, but I’m still scared of him" Nadia shook her head.
A smile appeared on Eduardo’s face, knowing that Marcello was still kind enough to save a life. But the smile faded, remembering how he kept the news about his family from him.
To others, it might not be a bad thing, but to Eduardo, he felt his trust was betrayed.
"Are you alright, Eddy?"
Nadia’s voice snapped him back to reality. He shook his head and tried to reach for some of the refreshments that the maids brought earlier while they were discussing.
David immediately stopped him.
"What are you doing?" Eduardo asked him.
"Allow me to taste if there is any harmful substance before you take them, young master"
"Do you think I’ll die by poisoning?" Eduardo asked and David nodded his head.
Eduardo sighed and allowed him to do his job. He turned to face Nadia and continued.
"Well, he’s married already. So, you don’t have to concern yourself with him"
"What? He finally got married? What kind of woman did he end up with?" Nadia almost jumped out of her chair.
"Well, she’s a bit crazy and obsessed with him. I guess they are a good pair" Luca shrugged.
"What a great pair" Nadia laughed.
Eduardo kept watching them.
"They are safe to eat, young master" David whispered to him.
"Well, you already ruined my appetite", Eduardo whispered back into his ear.
David flinched, feeling his warm breath hitting his ear. His face flushed red as he turned away immediately.
"My apologies, young master"
Luca raised an eyebrow, observing David and Eduardo.
He shook the thought he was having off his head and concentrated on their conversation.
When it was late, they were ready to head back to their manor. Eduardo personally escorted them outside.
Nadia was being clingy, almost refusing to head back.
"We’ll be heading for a birthday party next weekend, can you come with us?" She asked.
"Oh, I also have plans next weekend. We’ll meet again next time, Nadia" he said, with a smile. She also smiled and headed to the car.
Luca shook hands with Eduardo.
"I hope your long-time grudge will fade away after tonight"
"I don’t think it’s that easy" Eduardo smirked.
Instead of releasing Eduardo’s hand, Luca pulled Eduardo into an embrace, whispering into his ear.
"Be careful of that guard of yours. He seems like he’s into you"
"I know... What? Are you jealous?" He whispered back.
Luca immediately pulled away, placing his hand over the ear Eduardo whispered into.
"You’re... crazy!" He stuttered and entered the car, leaving the compound. Nadia waved from the passenger seat before leaving.
As soon as they were gone, Eduardo let out a heavy sigh and turned to meet David’s eyes. He remembered what Luca said to him and smirked.
Of course, it was obvious since that incident at the mall. At first, he thought David hated him. Their first encounter was when David stopped him from taking off his shirt in front of him, but now, he wanted to be around Eduardo.
"Let’s head in, David"
"Yes, young master" he replied.
They were heading for the entrance when David heard his phone dinged. He paused and checked the message. It was from Fabio.
"Is it urgent?" Eduardo asked.
"Uh..." He stammered, not knowing what to say. It looked urgent, but at the same time, he didn’t want to leave Eduardo alone for one minute.
"It’s fine. I’m heading to the bedroom and I’ll be with the other guards. Take your time" he waved David off and headed inside.
David gritted his teeth hard as he didn’t want to see Fabio.
"Damn it !"
He rushed to Fabio’s room, glancing at the threatening message one more time.
