Chapter 195 The marks
Alessias POV
After some terse few minutes of silence padre slowly lowers the script to the table.
“That is the literal translation …”
Alex turns to me once more “The descendants of the Ferrini line.” Padre nods at him “You …”
Then he waves his hand towards me “And the last living descendant of Natura.”
Selina leans back in her chair folding her arms “Alessia Molano.”
Lucy lets out a deep breath “So all this while La Rosa was always meant to have two guardians ?”
Padre points at the script “According to the scripts this is probably why they kept the information under lock and key.”
He picks up the script again reading the last line “If the guardians are bonded ,then all the magical secrets of La Rosa shall be unlocked.”
Luca turns to Alex “Well Ill be damned.” he waves at the both of us “That's why you are so in sync.”
Angelica's eyes shine mischievously “The Sirranos never actually stood a flying chance , no offence Sir.” She whispers to my Father reverently
He snorks waving off her worry “Alessia is my daughter no offense taken please be free”
Alex picks up the recently translated scripts. “So that explains why they have been able to easily steal it.”
Padre nods “You are correct.”
Lucy laughs “They will not take this lying down “
“We will not deliver the news lying down.” either Alex adds his voice low and dangerous.
He meets my gaze “And the meeting must happen as soon as possible.”
Angelica let's out a shocked gasp “You people still plan to confront a room full of mafia druglords ?”
“As soon as possible.” Alex replies calmly and I feel my heart stutter
Lucy groans “I hope it doesn't end in blood shed.”
Alex leans on his hunches facing her “I would love to see them try.”
His calm response sends a shiver of apprehension up my spine as Padre suddenly starts compiling the scripts again reaching for a new one.
“We do not have much time.” He pauses, turning to Alex “If possible we should translate all before the meeting.”
Alex nods in agreement “Si we will”
He reaches into his pocket and dabs on his non-existent sweat on his forehead before continuing “Also I found something out that will interest you all,I already shared it with Signore Alex.”
I straighten immediately folding my arms around my stomach As Alex picks up a pen turning it around in his palm “Do you all remember the call I took in the cock pit?”
Boy do I remember
I hitch my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop
Lucy tilts her head Peering at him intently “Yes I remember”
Alex's eyes fall on Selina for a moment “Thomas is on the hunt of the witch that helped Gabriel escape.”
The rooms temperature drops a few degrees as my blood turns cold. My eyes fly to him
He is on the hunt of me!
Angelica stutters “You mean he is looking for-”
Selina smirks “Alessia …”
Alex turns to me whispering in my mind "I am sorry. I didn't want you to worry.”
“He knows powerful magic was used , when Alessia did the final change the area turned black.”
Lucy gulps “That's what happens when a powerful witch pushes her self to her limit.. “ she pauses turning to me "How long "
I met her gaze unblinking she does not need to elebaroate I know what she is asking and I knew this will come up one day
I tilt my chin
“One hour” everyone gasps including Alex
“You held a glamour for one hour ?” My father asks quietly
“Yes father” I whisper under my breath but I know they all heard me.
“That is …” Lucy doesn't finish her sentence
“Alessia I don't think it's ever been done... “ She finishes
“I know” I whisper calmly.. “but I did it..”
“This information complicates things” Luca mumbles off in italian under his breath “A whole lot”
Alex cuts in “This is why I want us to move quickly.”
and Padre just hums under his breath as he goes through a script as if he didn't hear the bombshell I dropped.
“We will continue tomorrow” he finally says
Selina turns to me again “Alessia , your training continues tomorrow.”
Something twists in my stomach
Here we go again with things moving on the fast lane
La Rosa is back home
Now have to call them all and have a meeting , exposing the real truth about La Rosa
As usual after a round of translation we all sit in quiet thinking about what we just learnt .For me padre words keep repeating in my head
“If the two are bonded the true magical essence of la Rosa will be unlocked”
Magical essence
I hope all the information is contained in the scripts left
Could this be what La Geneva is coveting?
I watch Alex as he leans back in his chair drumming his fingers on the table as he looks at me ...What can I even say to diffuse the situation,? I knew it was me and I think it was foreseen by my ancestors Natura? Will they believe me?
“The entire thing is starting to make sense now.” Lucy mutters breaking into my thoughts
Luca folds his hand on the table looking serious for once he seems to be out of jokes “You mean Alex and Alessia were always meant for each other.” he says shaking his head “It's not just destiny it's like a grand master plan.”
Angelica smiles “But I had suspected” she says pointing at us “Especially when you started mind linking.”
Selina cuts in. “Both of you can mind link already ?”
Padre turns to Alex shocked "You didn't mention this development!”
Alex shrugs “We have been too busy trying to stay alive.”
My father shifts on my left saying nothing just making me aware of his presence..
Lucy snorts “And that's not even all, Angelica is right we should have known.”
I turn to them saying nothing as Padre turns to Alex once more “That's not all? What more is there ?”
Alex looks at me and whispers in my mind “Alessia are you comfortable showing them our marks?”
I raise my brow at him “I don't mind they are out friends , let's give padre a show he will never forget on the count of three”
Alex smiles “That's my girl , one ,two…” I take a deep breath and stand up at the same time Alex does. Every single eye in the room is on us but I keep mine on Alex and wait for the last call he whispers in my head.
“Three.” and we both expose our marks together to our friends to examine.
My father reaches for my hand squeezing it once in quiet solidarity as a shiver of doubt curls up my spine. One thing I know for certain is when we address this in public it will shake the very foundation of the Sirrano empire.An empire built on lies is about to be crushed by the truth. Isn't life grand ?
