Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere
Chapter 56

MARIANNE.

"Oh, you're back already? Did you get caught up in the rain?" I asked Ricardo as I left what I was doing and faced him. Lanston suddenly bowed his head and paid obeisance to Ricardo.

"Greetings Underboss, it's nice to meet you in person, I will be in charge of cooking and cleaning from now onwards. You don't need to have trust issues, I pledge my loyalty to both you and your wife and I promise to offer the best service." "I think he is okay being the chef and servant of this house, he looks calm and loyal."

"Do you detect such things by just staring at one's face? And why are you also in the kitchen? Do you want to get this house burnt down again? You pressed on for weeks about getting a servant and now I've finally provided one, why are you still in the kitchen?" Ricardo suddenly yelled and I stared at him surprised.

He just came back a few minutes ago and the only thing he could think of doing was yelling and making a big deal out of nothing.

"I don't understand what you're getting at Ricardo? You just arrived a few minutes ago so just go and rest. It's too late to start raising our voices at each other because of a silly issue." I replied and he scoffed.

"Stop trying to pretend like you don't know what I'm driving at,"

"I don't know and I really don't want to know! I was just helping him with some things and trying to figure out things for him since he just arrived here for the first time. There are so many things he needed to know about." I clarified because I didn't understand why he was suddenly acting like this.

"So that includes you smiling out your teeth at him and also laughing like a hyena right? So this is the reason why you pressed on about getting male servants, it's so you can throw yourself on them and also appease your lonely spirit!" I was speechless by the way Ricardo kept attacking me for no reason, I clearly did nothing wrong!

He just showed up out of the blue and started spitting nonsense, how could he easily jump to conclusions like that?

"That's enough Ricardo! I can't take this nonsense anymore! What's your problem? How could you just barge in here and start saying rubbish? Point of correction, I never specifically asked for male servants.

I don't even understand why you're angry because I clearly did nothing wrong, not even with the new servant! I was just trying to be nice and make him feel less uncomfortable.

I sincerely don't know what you think of me, you keep disrespecting me and it's no longer getting funny anymore!

You suddenly came back and the first thing you could think of doing was attacking me. I thought we were minding our business and staying in our lane but you keep crossing limits! You're not even going to apologize first for sending me out of your car knowing fully well about the dangers I would be exposed to. You are really the worst person I've ever come across, an ugly personality, you need to work on yourself!" I fired back at Ricardo and stormed out of the kitchen. As I walked a few meters away from the kitchen, I could hear Lanston apologizing, for what exactly? He did nothing wrong!

I returned back to the kitchen and met Lanston on his knees apologizing to Ricardo.

And the scumbag stood and watched him plead and beg him for no reason, I glared at him and faced Lanston.

"You did nothing wrong so stop apologizing, just continue and concentrate on what you're cooking. Just ignore him!"

"I can't ignore him ma, he is the underboss so my life is at stake here if I mess up! I am the reason why you both had a misunderstanding, I should have focused on my job instead of stressing you and asking for your help unnecessarily. I'm so sorry this has to happen, it won't happen again, I promise." Lanston begged seriously and I directed my gaze to Ricardo, he just kept a straight look.

Gosh! This guy is unbelievable, he doesn't even deserve a pint of apology!

Ricardo did not say anything and just walked out, I followed him out immediately.

I won't condone any of his nonsense, he should know me fully well that I'm not scared of him especially when it comes to situations where I'm not at fault.

"So you just chose to walk out without saying anything right? You literally just came out of the blue and accused me of throwing myself at him, you said a lot of ill things about me. You didn't even ask any questions at first!" I yelled as I kept following him around. "Firstly, you yelled at me and blamed me for what I did to Catherine without hearing my explanations first. Let's deal with that first! As your wife, aren't you supposed to defend and stand by me?" I yelled and he suddenly stopped on his track as he was about to enter the lobby.

He turned to face me and then scoffed

"Wife you say? It seems you're slowly forgetting your place!" He snapped at me.

"Don't get me wrong though! Since we are to act like couples outside our home, you have to make it more real. You just believed what that idiot said and started blaming me, I'm not that stupid to act on impulse, she pushed me to the wall with her words. I'm not even pained or bothered by that anymore, I hope I never cross paths with her again.

My anger right now is the reason why you coldly sent me out of your car when I did nothing wrong? What if something has happened to me? You know fully well that I am not familiar with any routes since you always lock me in like a prisoner! The fact that you're not even sorry, you feel like you didn't do anything wrong.

Now, you returned back home and started insulting me for no reason, for how long do I have to keep putting up with your annoying attitude?!" I fired hotly at him but he ignored me and brought out a stick of cigarette which he lit up and began smoking.

"I'm talking to you!"

"I sincerely don't know why you love to make noise too much, aren't you tired of stressing yourself by raising your voice all the time? Now that you've wasted your time in making a long speech, what do you expect me to do? I hope you're not expecting an apology. If that's the case, then just go to bed if you don't want me to annoy you anymore. You're the one that is the problem, just go reflect on yourself." Ricardo said and I bit my lower lip angrily.

He is a bigger scum than his father!

He doesn't feel remorseful for any of his wrong deeds.

I can recall vividly how I almost got eaten up by guilt for making him fail in a particular mission. I defended him in front of his father when he kept receiving all the blame, that's because I wanted to make up for the mistake I made. Now, I regret it so much, he deserves all the punishment and even more.

"Lest I forget, you have to apologize to Catherine for what you did to her, you can't go on slapping people anyhow. When they show up next time, you're going to apologize sincerely to her." Ricardo suddenly said and I let out a derisive laughter.

I can't believe this!

"You know me too well also, nothing is ever going to make me do that, I swear on my father's grave! If I'm going to apologize, she should apologize first for the mean things she said to me, then I would consider apologizing too. If that's not the case, then you all should go to hell!!!"

I yelled and stormed away from the lobby, I went straight into my room, locked the door and buried myself under the duvet.

Ricardo is going to make me go crazy for real!

I didn't want to keep thinking about everything that happened today so I wouldn't get more annoyed so I just had to force myself to sleep off.

The next morning came so fast and I woke up rather early. I feel very much better and I hope I don't see my eyes on Ricardo for the rest of the day so my anger doesn't return.

I went straight to the kitchen to discuss breakfast with Lanston because I slept off without having dinner last night but I didn't meet him there.

Could he still be asleep?

I could remember vividly that he knocked repeatedly on my door last night calling me to come have dinner but I ignored him because I was still very much pissed at Ricardo.

I went straight to his room and surprisingly met the door wide open.

I went in and saw that the room was empty, his belongings had disappeared.

"Lanston! Lanston!"

Let it not be what I'm thinking if not, Ricardo is going to be dead meat
