Chapter 5 NEW HOME. BIGGER TROUBLES
KATHERINA
“Hmm….did you just say his twin daughters?” I whispered to Lucia.
“Yes, Katherine…those are Mr. Roberto's angels and he never jokes with them..”
I sighed. At first, I couldn't stop admiring how cute those two looked but on the other hand, I wasn't comfortable…
I could be in some girl trouble. Where have these girls been hiding since I came in? If their mother walked in on us also, what happens to me?
I haveno strength to fight a lady over her husband who even gives a damn shit about me.
For all I know, I am just here on my Papa's orders.
I was still brooding when one of the twin girls walked up to me….”Hi, I'm Joanne…you have very beautiful eyes. Do you work for my father?” She asked.
“Uhmmm..erm….” I stuttered. “Thank you. Your hair is much beautiful as my eyes, Joanne but I don't work for your father,” I replied.
“I……I am your father's…” I stuttered in responding.
“Don't you dare say a word there!” Roberto suddenly appeared in front of me.
“What are you trying to do?” He questioned with a frowned face.
“Uhmm…I'm sorry…”
“Joanne, go with your sister to your rooms,” he spoke calmly.
The sudden switch in his voice seem to amaze me. So he could be this cool all of a sudden, he must really love these little girls but how come I am just seeing them?
My mind was raided with questions once again as the whole thing was so unclear.
Lucia had magically found her way out of my sight the minute Roberto appeared.
He never approved of our friendship and he could see in his face how angry he was each time we talk and play together.
He scoffed.
“Look here, young lady. I don't know who you think you are but you are nothing and I mean absolutely nothing but an object of reward for a closed deal between I and your father!” He spoke in a rude tone.
I became saddened in my heart at the tone of his voice but I kept a straight face as he lashed out hoping it would just top soon enough and I would resume my season of teary eyes and weary looks.
“You have no business with my daughters and I don't want to see you near them. Your job is to be with me, please me when I need you to. Just be whatever I need you to be….”
“Also, I see how you play around with Lucia. She is my fucking maid and not some gist mate so watch yourself else you would yourself back in your father's house and I am.sure you know what that means for him!!”
What? A threat?
No, I definitely can't take one now. My Papa would slaughter me if deal was in anyway broken.
“I'm sorry but it won't happen again, my love…”
“Pfff…your Lord not your love. I married you but I don't love sonwatch your tongue, young woman,” he blurted out in anger.
He walked away that minute and a bag of tears feel.from my right eye like it had ben waiting to stroll down my cheeks and Roberto's presence was just an obstacle.
Later that very day, the evenings camet and a gentle breeze blowed the flowers around.
I sat quietly in the garden, unconscious of her long I have been there. Then the girls suddenly appeared again and this time around, they sat beside me.
“You never told us your name,” the other twin girl, Aria, asked with her adorable voice.
“Katherina,” I wiped the tears off my face immediately.
“Are you our new mother?” Joanne asked all of a sudden.
I was shocked and dumbfounded at the same time. What was I supposed to say?
I had a lot of questions to ask but obviously, they were too young to be asked such.
“If you want me to be,” I answered with a smile and before I knew what was happening, they both jumped on me with a tight hug.
MARCUS BLOOM
I stood from afar and watched as the Russian played out her witchcraft before my very eyes.
“Psk….”
“What effontery?”
“First my boss and now the kids? Who does she think she is, to come in here and steal the love and attention??”
“I can't believe my boss could.allow himself.grow soft around some Russian spy parading herself in a woman's body?!”
“I don't fucking trust that bitch for any reason!!”
“She is here for something and I won't allow it. Kf she thinks she is smart, I would show her I am a hundred steps ahead of her!!”
My fist tightened and my eyes blinked with so much rage.
I watched as Aria and Joanne kept playing and hugging her like she is their mother.
“This bitch has an agenda and I would ruin it!”
I stormed into he house that second, “Lucia! Lucia!! Lucia!!”
“Come out here, old cargo!”
She answered and rushed to my front, her eyes darting around the room like she lost something.
“Why are you so unsettled?”
“I thought there was an emergency cause I know you are our head security. I am just surprised you are calling me out that loud!”
“Are you mocking me or what?”
“Not at all..I wouldn't dare,” she replied in a sarcastic tone.
“Well, listen to me cause what I am about to tell you will cost you your life if truly you value it around here!”
“Sir?” She interrupted with a smirk on her face.
“You think I am here to joke, lady?” I pulled out my gun and stretched it towards her point blank.
“Do you know what this is? It's a goddamn modernized silencer and it makes absolutely no sound when fired. I could kill you right here right now and not a goddamb soul.wpuld know about it…”
“All I have to do is to get the boys to dump your body somewhere and tell a story to the Boss!”
She fidgeted. I chuckled at her shivering body. “So you better behave if you know what's good for you!”
“Now I need you to look out there..you can see that witch over there and what she is doing. It's none of your business actually cause you still have to do all I ask you to.”
“Take this…” I handed over a small bottle to her…”Put little of this into the twin meal tonight and hide the bottle in that bitch's bag…”
“Make it look like she did it…do you fucking understand me?”
“And I want it done tonight. If you fail me, I kill you!”
