Chapter 4 CHAPTER 4
THIRD PERSON'S POV
“Surprise!!’’ William Castello shouted as he walked behind his sister and hugged her. “Did my little princess get scared?” He teases her.
Elysia let out a sigh of relief as she looked at her dad and brother at home, she really thought that those two idiot men had again come for her.
She looks at her elder brother and smacks his head. “You almost gave me a heart attack, you idiot brother of mine!” She gave him a few more blows.
“Ouch! How dare you hit me!? I'm older than you.” William says and also starts pulling her hair, they both start to beat each other in the middle of the living room.
Their parents, Thomas Castello and Elizabeth Castello looked at them with a smile. “They will never grow up, but still we love them.” Thomas says with a chuckle.
“Okay, okay, go and separate them, before they start wrestling.” His wife says with a chuckle and goes back to the kitchen. He walked between his kids and pulled Sia away.
“Stop! Stop! That's enough for today.” Thomas patted his daughter's head, and hugged her. “Will you both kill each other today, huh!?” He asked, looking at William.
“Dad, he scared me and then teased me!” Elysia pouted sadly, hugging her dad and rubbing her face in his shirt.
“I'll beat him for you, don't worry!” Her dad kissed her forehead in affection, rubbing her back to calm her.
“Dad, I'm also your child! And she pulled my hair too, aren't you going to scold her?” William complained, glaring at his sister and fixing his hair.
Thomas looked at him and frowned. “You have also pulled her hair.” He says soothing Sia's hair. ‘‘Okay, come here!” Then he also pulled William into the hug.
They laugh as they hug each other and Thomas kisses their both forehead and walks towards the dining room.
“Sia, come and help me to set the table!” Her mom called and Sia obediently went to help her, soon they were having dinner while continuing their small talks.
“Eat more, you've gotten thin than before!” Her mother says, putting more food on Sia's plate. “It's been 2 years since you last visited us, don't you miss us?” She added with a frown.
“I'm already full, mom! And yes, I do miss you all but I can't just leave my work and come to meet you? I will come back frequently after I stabilize my career.” Sia replied, with a smile.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, as they're also very busy with their work. “Mom-dad, how about we go on a picnic while Sia is here? She has only ten days of holiday and it's already been 4 days!” William suggested.
“And dad and I are also free for a few days. We can use this time to relax from work.” He added, looking at everyone.
“Good idea, let's do this!” Thomas agreed with his kids, as it's been a long time since they all went on a trip.
Elysia jumped in excitement and hugged her brother. “You're the best brother!! I love you so much.” She tightly hugged him and kissed his cheeks. William chuckled and hugged her back.
“Sia, no one is bothering you at work, right?” Her dad asked in concern, looking at her.
“Don't worry, dad, even if someone troubles me then don't forget I'm your strong daughter. I can handle them.” Sia says in confidence.
“You're working in a legal firm, some people will try to bribe you to work for them, but never accept their work. Always stay on your true path.” Thomas says in a stern yet soft tone.
“I will never do that. I'm very much happy with my family and house. It might be a small house for those wealthy people but it's my comfortable home. I don't want a big house or wealth to live my life, I'm satisfied with whatever I have.” Elysia calmly explained and smiled at her family.
She was indirectly saying that no matter how much Kieran D'Angelo or someone else offers her, she will never trade her true self.
Everyone smiled and had dinner while planning the trip and decided to go the day after tomorrow. After discussion, Elysia went back to her bedroom and changed into her nightwear.
She lay down on the bed and picked up her phone to check notification when a text came, it was a video. She looks at the video, it was her video when she was beating those men.
“What the— how did someone film this? And who did this!?” She was just muttering when a text came, she looked at the text and got confused.
\[What will happen when people know about this violent side of their lovely attorney?\] The text was really simple but it hides the most dangerous thing. Threaten.
“Who are you? And how did you get my number?” Elysia texted back, gritting her teeth in annoyance as she looked at the text.
\[Did you forget me so soon? We just met in the afternoon?\]
Elysia frowned as she remembered Kieran D'Angelo, who kidnapped her in the afternoon. The stupidly-handsome man, who almost made her lose her heart to him.
“Oh! It's you Mr. Kidnaper! I didn't know that you also have a habit of stalking people?” She replied with a teasing emoji and sent it over.
\[I'm not a kidnapper! Nor, I have a habit of stalking people. So stop calling me that or I will post your fighting video on the internet?\] Kieran texted and Sia could feel his cold tone behind his words.
“You will not dare to!” Sia replied, without hesitation but internally she's feeling anxious.
What If he really posted the video? What if her law firm gets the video and takes action against her? What if her boss refused to let her work in his firm anymore?
\[Don't tempt me to do it, Elysia Castello.\] Kieran retorted back and she could feel his warning behind his words.
“Why are you doing this?” She asked in frustration and typing hard on the screen.
\[Simple, work for me.\] Kieran texted as soon as her message went to him.
“NO.” Elysia grumpily text him back.
\[Don't make me regret your choice!\] Kieran replied and her eyes widened but she didn't reply and turned off her phone.
“Idiot man! Why is he so obsessed with me? Can't he find someone else? I'm already getting threatened even before I take over his case, don't know what will happen If I really take his case!?” Elysia muttered and closed her eyes.
Soon tiredness takes over her and she falls asleep, forgetting about everything that happened and leaving behind Kieran's threats.
Next morning, when Elysia woke up with a familiar voice in her house. “Who has come to my house so early in the morning!?” She lazily walked out of the room, in her nightwear while rubbing her eyes.
“Sia! You didn't tell us about your boyfriend?” Her mother says as soon as she sees Elysia coming out.
Huh! Boyfriend?
Elysia's eyes snapped open at her mother's words and she turned her head to look at the man, sitting in the living room and looking at her with a sly smirk on his lips.
“You—!!!” She gasped in shock and surprise.
