Chapter 105
CALISTA RAYMONDS
Walking out of the restaurant, I made my way to the car and these two guards, whom I had already forgotten was here with me immediately opened the door for me.
I muttered a thank you to them and got in, then I waited for him to get in too as the driver is already in. The second guard who isn’t driving and whole I had just find out his was “Carl” looked at me from the rear mirror.
He could feel or he could notice the worry in my face or the fear in my eyes.
“Are you okay ma’am? I thought the call was urgent but you didn’t even stay up to five minutes.”
I raised my eyes to look at Carl, he was staring at from through the rear mirror still.
“My friend is in danger.” I said slowly to him.
It isn’t safe to say this but I needed to. Afterall, they are solider and can handle whatever than comes their way. Neither Carl nor Lucas, the driver said anything immediately. It was like they were waiting for me to say something now.
“Can you drive to Chase’s apartment? I need to talk to him.”
The car halted, making me almost hit my head on the window, thanks to the seat belt I had on. I pushed my hair that had fallen on my face back, and looked at them. We just stopped in the middle of the room. Then, Lucas started the car again and starts driving.
“Can you talk to your father about that first?.” Lucas was the one asking.
I lean back on the car and swallowed before asking him again. “Why’s that?”
I didn’t want to believe the truth that my father, Luciano, didn’t want me around Chase. He didn’t say it, he never had. But I could feel it, if not, why will he take me away from him without even asking if that’s what I wanted?
And why will Chase suddenly be cold to me?
“Last we checked..” Lucas wanted to say something but Carl seems fast enough to cut in.
“Lucas is right, you should talk to your father first. We can’t take you there without his permission.”
Now, I feel controlled.
“I don’t feel the need to. And if y’all are afraid of me getting hurt while with him, that’s ridiculous right?. Now, Drive!”
For the first time in my life, I feel like my personality had changed. The tone of my voice, the authority. When I looked at them, Carl was shocked with my statement.
I know, cause I could read his expression.
Grateful they didn’t argue with me further and instead, they changed the GPS and revised. Heading to Chase’s estate.
My mind chooses to draft back at what happened at the restaurant. “Grayson Gotti.” I have heard about him from Tyrell and Rowan. He is the sheep wolf of the Gotti’s family, alongside his dad. He is no good. I could already notice Charlotte’s body trembling the minute I started approaching her. Her eyes were fixed on my behind, despite that she had her glasses on… Body language never lies right?
Grayson was doing something to Charlotte. I knew it instantly.
Chuckling. I wonder how sensitive I had become. It’s now almost like I’m getting used to the fact that my identity had changed.
I see myself gradually leaving from Calista to something else, maybe to this Lucia Profaci that I didn’t imagine myself to become.
Don’t blame me, I’ll accept myself with whatever that comes my way.
When Grayson held her shoulder, her body shakened. I noticed that eyes of hers despite the glasses. Now I’m worried of what type of danger Charlotte must have gotten herself into.
Thrice today , I had referred to her as my friend but when was that? We have never had a good experience and she hated me .. we hated each other.
But now, she needs me.
I feel like she had something that she wants to talk about, a secret. Something about Grayson and her father. But Gray was fast enough isn’t he?
He wouldn’t let her have her way.
He was manipulating her. Now I’m worried and stuck about any kind of dirty thing Charlotte must have done with Grayson that might have ended badly. Charlotte was looking miserable, that glamour skin and smirk that is always on her face wasn’t there today. Everything was different..
When she called me, she had actually wanted to tell me something, but then Grayson showed up to shut her up and she couldn’t say it any further.
Impressive!
He had to go to the extent of lying to me that she was sick. But when I asked her if she was okay with my eyes, she clearly told me No…
It’s not that she’s sick… She’s not Okay cause she’s in danger.
Of all the people she had to talk to , including Chase or his brothers, why did she chose to let me witness this? Why did she chose to call me!?
Whatever it is, I’m glad I asked him to bring Charlotte with him to the ball party tomorrow. I have no plans for the ball party, actually, I didn’t even know the day is tomorrow. But looks like there’ll be change of plans.
I need to talk to Chase.
I don’t care if he doesn’t want to see me or whatever it is, but I know. I need to let him know about what’s going on with Charlotte. There’s no way I can protect her on my own.
But I know the people who can.
The Gotti’s… Chase. Whatever it is, he’s going to save Charlotte from whatever issue she had gotten herself into.
My mind swipe when I heard a voice, I raised my eyebrows and it turns out Lucas might have just said something to me.
“What did you say?” I asked him and he turns his neck to look at me.
“His penthouse or the main building?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
I got confused. I never know Chase has a penthouse, even though I’ve never been there or know what it looks like, but how did they know?
They didn’t even need my direction. Oh! Seems like I had already forgotten again that these people are Mafia’s.
I looked away. “His main building.”
