Chapter 31 Concerns
‘for the sake of peace!’, Luciano thought to himself, an excuse he had come up with to rid himself of having to think deeply of the cause of his actions.
“For the sake of peace!”, he thought again as he headed into his room.
\~~~~
Isabella had not been able to sleep properly throughout the night as she wondered the amount of things that would have happened in the room.
“Grace said models…!”, Isabella's thoughts started as she wondered the famous models Luciano would have had an entanglement with.
“Every woman would fall for him with that face of his!”, Isabella thought out loud, quickly covering her mouth from what she had just said.
She kept reminding herself that this man took her away from her family and did horrible things!
She looked at the bed again, her mind imagining the creaks as a result of the action going on in the bed.
“Eww!”, Isabella said out of realization.
She brought her robe closer to her body as she slapped her forehead.
“I have laid sprawled on this bed!
Mia came the other time, shy didn't she tell me?!”, Isabella asked herself.
Regardless, she started to motivate herself to sleep on the bed, giving reasons…
Like all the said times she laid on the bed.
However much she tried to do that, her mind still went back to the amount of times different women would have to lay on the bed, awaiting Luciano to “do” them!
Isabella took the duvet and spread it on the floor, starting to sleep a few hours after midnight.
\~~~
Having had a torturous night from sleeping on the floor, Isabella woke up to body pain.
“Oh my God!”, She said as she stood up and stretched.
As Isabella's brain processed, she lay on the bed, having just stood up from the makeshift bed she had slept on the night before.
“Why was I sleeping on the floor?!”, Isabella asked herself after she stared blankly for about five minutes.
“Oh my God!”, Isabella said as she remembered why she slept on the floor in the first place.
She quickly stood up from the bed, attempting to dust away what wasn't even there to begin with.
As she arranged her room, she was interrupted by a knock on her door.
Expecting it to be Mia, as between both of them, she was the early bird who seemed to work like an alarm.
It was unusual to see Madam Paula standing in front of the room, already dressed up.
Isabella didn't see Madam Paula that early in the morning, thus, she wrapped her robe around her body.
Making a mental note to work on her sleeping time, Isabella heard Madam Paula say, “Get dressed quickly, you'll be moving into another room today!”
“What, really?!”, Isabella asked, elated! She hadn't really gotten any good sleep as she wondered about all the things that happened in the room before her.
“Yes really! I'll be back in an hour, and then, I expect that you will be fully packed by then!”, Madam Paula said as she turned to leave.
Immediately alert by the news she just heard, Isabella quickly closed her door, going ahead to pack her things from the room.
In no time, she already had her things packed, going to take her bath and change into her uniform.
\~~~
Isabella's new room was located next to Mia’s and Madam Paula's rooms.
Her things were not that much, so she moved into her room in no time.
Quite similar to the design of Mia’s room, Isabella knew she was going to have a good night's sleep later.
The room was cozy!
Looking at her things, she decided to unpack later, when she had gotten some of her chores done.
Looking at the single suitcase, Isabella remembered how she had packed in a rush as a result of what had happened.
She immediately thought of her family, deciding to summon courage and ask about them from Luciano later.
\~~~
Luciano walked into the mansion after coming from his jog, his hair on his face because
it was wet.
He requested late breakfast as he approached his room.
Knowing she would be on standby when he had said breakfast, Isabella decided that she would ask him about her family then.
Plating everything, Madam Paula kept the food on trays which Isabella and Mia took to Luciano's room.
Per usual, Mia left Isabella In the room.
Waiting for Luciano to come out of his inner room to have breakfast, Isabella braced herself for whatever reaction would come out of Luciano.
‘I really don't want to stay here forever!” Isabella thought quietly as she heard shuffling from Luciano's inner room.
Soon enough he came out, his hair slightly damp as he had just taken a shower to wash off his sweat.
This time, he was simply putting on shorts, revealing the black ink on both his legs.
It seemed like Luciano liked tattoos.
One would think he didn't have this many as he was always covered most of the time.
Luciano turned to Isabella as she casually looked at a certain spot in his room.
It was one of the very few times he saw her face, when she wasn't being wary of him.
Luciano noticed the eyebags underneath her eyes, yet, still enjoying the view of her face, he decided against saying anything as he ate his food.
Noticing that he was almost done with his food, Isabella took deep breaths as she summoned the courage to ask.
“Sir!”, Isabella called out as Luciano raised his head, his green eyes immediately scanning her face.
“Sir!”, Isabella called out again as she wondered if she had gotten his attention.
If only she knew She HAD gotten his attention, and he didn't like the feeling.
“Is there a problem?!”, Luciano asked as he watched her reaction to his voice.
She seemed to be unsure of what she was about to say next.
“No, no sir, I just have a question!”, Isabella said, wondering what could be the outcome of asking about her father.
“Can I talk to my family?!”, Isabella asked.
Luciano just simply looked at her, realizing his concern was becoming more of reality than a mere thought.
