Hi..
.

Ariana’s POV
” The moment I heard the familiar voice, my heart started beating faster.”
” I looked at him with widened eyes, and my body stiffened after looking into his eyes, which was filled with coldness. “
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(brushed past her)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(stood at her spot)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at Matt going inside the restaurant near the bookstore cafe)
” I looked at him some seconds and shook away my thoughts about him and headed towards my house. “

Inside the restaurant ..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

Counter attendant :- Yes, sure. We will be done within 20 minutes.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

.
.

Bella reached her house.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(opens the main door and get inside the house)
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(coming downstairs) (saw Bella) Thank God, you’re back..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
πYeah, today it was quite a busy day..
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(nods) Hm..
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
OK, then I will heat up the food for you.. Wash up and come here..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Yeah, I will be right back.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Oh, where is Ceci ?
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
Do you think anyone is awake at this time..? π€¨
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
π
Yah, true..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(gives to Emi) OK then, keep these macarons in the pantry. And also this book on Ceci’s book shelf..
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(takes it) (nods) OK..
.
.
Evelina heated food for Bella and brought it to the dining area.
.
.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(having her dinner)
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(sitting opposite to Bella)
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
Bella..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at Emi) Yes..?
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
Mom will be going tomorrow to Lyra aunt’s party.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(low voice) Oh..
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
Um.. (hesitates)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(gulps down her food) Don’t worry. I won’t go …
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(relieved) Good. I won’t be going, too. I told it to mom already. Actually, mom, too, didn’t want to go.
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
She messaged Lyra aunt that she won’t be able to attend.
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
As soon as Aunt saw mom’s messages, she called mom and insisted that she had to attend the party, also to bring us, too.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(firm) I won’t go near to that area.
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(feeling bad for her) *Maybe, this time, she’s finally going to give up..*

On the other side..
Matt took fast food for Ivy and headed towards the Langley mansion.
.
.
In front of the main gate of the Langley mansion.
In side the car..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(calls Ivy) (π±)βοΈ Come and take your food. I’m waiting near the main gate.
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(excited) (π±)π Coming coming (runs hurriedly)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(cuts call) π΅
.
.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(opens the car window)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(gives to Ivy) βοΈ Take it..
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
π Thank you, bro. You are the best…
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈβοΈ Now onwards, order your own food..
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(scared a bit) π
O..ok.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈβοΈ Keep it in your mind.. (drive away)
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
π Ugh.. Why is he so scary..?
Matt drove to his basement.
.
.
In the basement..
Enemy
(being tied up in a chair)
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(grabs his hair harshly in his fist)
Enemy
(screams in pain) UGGHHHH…
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(deadly voice) βοΈβοΈ Speak. Who sent you here ?
Enemy
π’π’(grits his teeth) I won’t say a word.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(while coming inside) βοΈβοΈ Very well then. Lucius, why don’t you just pluck out his fingers one by one..? (calm yet cold voice)
Enemy
(gulps in fear) π°
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(twisted smirk) Yes, that’s a good idea since our faithful enemy doesn’t want to betray his boss by spilling out some information.
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(took out a sharpened knife from the toolbox)
Enemy
π° No..no..don’t..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(dark dominanting voice) βοΈβοΈ If you want your hand to be intact, then better spill out the beans.
Enemy
(gulps) π° He..he.. t..told to f..find w..what is y..your w..weakness.. (stutter in fear)
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
βοΈβοΈ Oh, so you rummaged through all the documents to get his weaknes..?
Enemy
π°I..I..just..
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
βοΈβοΈ Aren’t you quite bold…?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈβοΈLucius, kill him and slice him into pieces and send it to that place where he came from. I don’t want any thieves or spies in my area.
Enemy
π° Pl..please..π’ leave..leave ..me .. I don’t want to die..die.. please..π
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
βοΈβοΈ I’m sorry. We don’t show any mercy to our enemies.. (slaughter his throat)
As soon as Lucius slaughtered the enemy’s throat, blood splattered everywhere.
Enemy
(dead)
Enemy
(blood oozing out from throat)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looking at the enemy with coldy) βοΈβοΈ This is what you get for touching my personal things.
.
.
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(wiping the blood on his hand) So, what are you going to do with this
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈβοΈ Did you get his address from where he came ?
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
Well, I did, but his location seems quite suspicious.
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(ponder) It seems like he doesn’t have an exact location to stay.
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
His whereabouts are different at different locations …
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈβοΈHm.. Then do one think.. Feed him to Gibson and Badger. I hope no one finds his location..
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
π€¨ Do you really want to feed him to Badger and Gibson..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(dark voice) βοΈβοΈ Either give it to them as their food or throw him in the sea.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈ I will be off now..
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(nods) Hm..
.
.
On the other side..
In the Vento house..
In Ariana’s room.
Bella took out Matt’s photo album and burned each and every page of it.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
