Melting the Marble Heart

Scribe

Hi..

After two days…

In the Vento house..

Alfredo took out Bella’s land property documents from his safe.

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Here, take it, Bella.. (hand over the documents)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(takes it) Thank you, uncle.. (smiles)

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(worried about Bella) Bella, think over again. Can you really trust his word ?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(bitter smile) Uncle, right now, a life matters the most. Moreover, I spoke with my brother about this matter yesterday. He said it’s fine.

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Bella, (hesitates) Uh..um.. Did you tell about your engagement, too..?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(looks down)

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(understood) Listen, Bella. He is your brother. You need to at least tell him about it. I know it will be difficult, but you must tell him no matter what. How will he feel if he hears it from others ?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(nods) I will uncle.

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(pats her head) Take care and be careful when you enter that lion’s den.. 😤

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

😅 OK uncle, don’t worry..

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(smiles) Then, I will take my leave..

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(nods) OK…

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(about to go)

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Bella, wait.. Go and change your dress.

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

😶Huh.. (checking her dress) What’s wrong with this dress ?

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(while coming inside the room) Yes, go and change it. If that demon sees you in this dress, then he might prepare himself to devour you..

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Uncle !! Auntie !! What are you both even saying..?

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

😤 Because you look so pretty in this dress !!

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

😤 Because you look so pretty in this dress !!

Both said at the same time..

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(blink blink)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

What !! (blushed)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Yup, go and change.

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(nods) Go..

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Uncle, auntie. It doesn’t matter what I wear. That man will never look at me. (least bothered) Moreover, it’s my wish what I wear. Why should I change my attire because of him..?

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(shrug) That’s true, though..

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

Sigh.. Still, it will be better if you change it.

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Actually, I wore this dress because I’m having a date with my senior..

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(clutch Bella’s hand in extra) 😃 Who is it ? Who is it ? What does he do ? Does he stay here ? What’s his name ? Where does he work ? Bring him to meet the great Vento family next time.

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Auntie, it’s a girl .. (awkward laugh) 😅

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(leaves her hand) Oh.. (droop)

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Pfftt~

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(glares at him) 😠

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Ahem..

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(low voice) I thought you were going for a date with a boy.

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(shook her head) No, auntie.. Now, I’m not in the mood to be in a relationship.

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

Come on, Bella, you’re quite young. So enjoy your life. Who knows, you might get your soul mate 😉 .

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

Don’t be unromantic like Evelina. She’s a definition of robot like your uncle.😒

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(harmless smile)😇 Honey~ you’re wrong. If I wasn’t romantic, then I wouldn’t have made you give birth to four children.

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(blushing mess) You shameless!!

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Pfft~ hahaha..

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(shy) What are you saying in front of your niece..?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Bye.. (goes out of the room)

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

(kiss on Sylvia’s cheeks)

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

😳

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)

Take care. I’ll be off too..

Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)

(smiles)

Inside the car.

Ariana’s POV

” I also wish to have life like my uncle and auntie. They are the sweetest couple ever. “

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(leans against the window car window) * I hope today will be our last day of seeing each other..*

(Vento's driver)

Bella dear, where should I drop you..?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(no response)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(immersed in her thoughts, looking outside)

(Vento's driver)

Bella dear..?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(startled) Huh !!

(Vento's driver)

Are you OK..?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Yes, I’m fine.. 😅

(Vento's driver)

(nods)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Uncle, were you saying something..?

(Vento's driver)

Where should I drop you?

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Just drop me near the Langley enterprise..

(Vento's driver)

(nods) Hm..

” Driver uncle dropped me at the Langley enterprise.”

” I clutched the documents tightly and breathed deeply, walking towards the entrance.”

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(walking) * I hope everything works out well.*

In the Langley enterprise.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ What are you doing here..?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Why ?🤨.. Can’t I come to my friend’s office to have some fun..?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️If you’re here for work, then stay. If no, then get lost.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(rolls his eyes) 🙄 You’re no fun..

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

😃Oh !! Hey Matt, I would’ve like to ask for some help.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(while reading the official documents) ❄️❄️ Not interested in helping you. Get out.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(sit up on the couch) Come on, man.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Help me to find out about the author named Fab.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(pissed off) ❄️❄️ Why can’t you find that author ? Why the heck are you dumping your works on me..?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

I tried to find that author, but..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ But what..?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

That author never showed up, nor did any media or paparazzi could take that author’s photo in public, so no one knows whether it’s a male or a female. So it’s difficult to find that author.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ By the name of the author. It sounds like a male’s name.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(shrug) Male or female, I don’t care. I just want to adapt Fab’s books into a drama. Moreover, I’ve read her novels. It’s the best of the best novels.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(grit his teeth in annoyance) But that author’s editor rejected me on the face.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(taps on the table with his fingers) ❄️❄️ Hmm..

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(looks at him) So, help me find that author.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(smirks evilly) ❄️❄️What will I gain by helping you..?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(mumbles in anger) 💢💢Can’t this b@stard at least not take profits from his friend..?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(heard) ❄️❄️ No..

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(flinch)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(ponders) Then how about you be the 40% shareholder of the Volkan entertainment industry?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️Hmm..? Well, that’s a good idea.. (smirks)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Then, since you will be the shareholder of the VEI (Volkan Entertainment Industry), why don’t you invest some amount in my upcoming drama ? 😁

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️(throws a file at him)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(dodged it) Haha 😅. Don’t try to kill me.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️💢💢(throws a pen at him)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Hey ! Hey ! (dodged it) It will be a great deal between our friendship.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️💢💢 (about to throw a glass)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Moreover, Artemis will be joining VEI.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(stops)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

*Oh ! He stopped..* 😀

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ When..?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

Well, when she arrives ..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Hm..

KNOCK !! KNOCK !!

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Come in..

Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)

Matt, Ms. Vento is here with the documents.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Let her in.

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(smirks) Didn’t you’re ex-fiancee stop tailing you..?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(growled) ❄️❄️ Shut up !!

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

🤐

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

* Let me watch their drama for my future movies..* 😎

Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)

Ms. Vento, please come in.

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(nods)

” With a thumping sound of my heart, I went inside his office.”

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(looks at Bella)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(stunned)

” As I went inside the room, Lucius closed the door and went out of the room. I saw Matt on his executive chair, and the russian punk whom I met last time in this office, is sitting on the couch.”

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(looks at Bella) 😳 * Damn, I didn’t know that this ex-fiancee of Matt is this hottie 🔥 *

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(flirty voice) Hello, Ms. Vento, you look quite gorgeous today..(smirks)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(looks at Dimitrios while walking towards Matt)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

😊

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(ignores him)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

😶

” I looked at Massimiliano and went towards his table and stood in front of his glass table.”

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(firm) Mr. Langley, these are the documents of the land.

” I looked down slightly and passed him the documents on his table.”

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(keeps looking at her without blinking)

” I stood there for a response, but there was none, so I looked at him.”

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(frowns) Mr. Langley ?

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(looks at Matt)

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(frowns) *What happened to him?*

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(smirks) * Oh, is he going to change his mind ? Let’s give them some space..*

Dimitrios Volkan (ML's BFF)

(slowly got up from the couch and went out of the room)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Hello..? (waves at him)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(eyes darkened)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(shivers by looking into Matt’s eyes)

” The way he looked at me gave me a sudden shiver in my body.”

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(divert his gaze from her and look at the lands’ documents)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(starts reading the document)

After 30 minutes.

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

💢💢 * This man, can’t he at least tell me to sit..? My legs became numb.*

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(reading the documents and glancing at her)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(bites her lower lip to control her numbness)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(looks at her lips)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(looks at her lips darkly)

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

(looks up at him) Is it over..? Could you please sign now and give me the amount ?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Huh..? Hmm.. (looks down at the documents)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(signs the documents)
