Chapter 4 Ariana

Issabelle POV

I walked into my kitchen only to find it empty.

What!

And am so damn hungry.

I decided to go to the nearby cafe and take my breakfast.

As I walked into the cafe, I heard some yelling from the kitchen but I decided not to interfere cause The Entire doesn't get into another people's business and I may cause a scene and that's the least I want right now.

"Excuse me ma'am, what can I serve you?" a soft voice asked.

I looked up only see tears in her eyes, I turned my gaze to her hands where I saw a red mark.

So she was the one who was being shouted at?

She also looked pale but was still beautiful.

She reminded me of myself after my parents died.

I feel pity for this girl but I honestly do not know how I should help her.

"Black coffee with less sugar and more milk please," I answered her.

"Right away ma'am,"

I wonder how she manages to be so polite and formal I don't think I can manage that yet she is still been abused here!

I heard some glass shatter and yelling in the kitchen.

I wonder what's going on. I just hope she is fine.

I just feel the need to protect her.

She seems eighteen. My sister could also have been the same age.

I promise that i will take care of her as my own sister.

She reminds me of her.

After a couple of minutes I saw someone placing my order at the table but it wasn't her.

That made me curious.

"Excuse, where is the girl who took my orders a few minutes ago?" I asked.

"Sh...sh..she...is...in....the...kit...kitchen," she said while stammering.

I bet she is afraid of something.

"What has happened to her ?"

Without even waiting for her to reply or thinking twice I rushed towards the kitchen and found the girl sitted on the floor crying.

I swear am going to kill whoever hurt her.

I hugged and and she started crying on my shoulders.

"Shh everything is going to be fine. I promise," I told her.

"No. Its not going to be fine. I have no place to call home and am been mistreated here. There is nothing which I do makes the manager proud. Am useless, " she said and continued weeping.

"No you are not. Leave him alone. He does not do between treasure and rubbish. You are a treasure and you should be tried as one."

"No am not. I have no family. No one wants me. Am useless."

At this moment I had already started crying.

Like fuck when was the last time I shed tears?

Right now I don't care whether she will know my secret if she lives with me.

I have already made my decision.

"You are coming with me. And you will be living with me," I told her.

That made her to look up.

"What no, I can't. I don't even know you. Thank you but am sorry,"

Why does she have to be so stubborn.

"You are and you will. You will get to know me as we live together. Just see me as your big sister. Okay? Now stand up." I said.

She stood up and I guided her outside.

"Tell your boss that she won't be working here anymore," I said to the waitress who had brought me my orders.

"Where do you think you are going you worthless shit?"

I turned around and saw a man standing behind us. He looked at us with disgust.

That made me really furious.

"Ooh, are you asking her"

I asked her as I pointed to the girl beside me.

"Of course. She is my employee and a very useless one in fact."

I punched him on the nose. I think I have broken it.

"Don't you dare call her useless ever again in your life. Cause if you do, I will personally kill you with my bare hands." I whispered to him

"She is coming with me and she will no longer be working here. If I hear that you are manhandling any of your employees, I will make you lose this your small beloved cafe and am sure you do not want that. Or do?

"No miss."

"Don't you dare call miss with your filthy mouth. If you try to send any gangs after us. I promise you that you not only lose your cafe but also our family."

"Let's go."

We walked to towards my car silently until I saw her mouth wide open as she looked at the car infront of her and I chuckled.

"Come on."

"Is this your car."

I nodded.

"I have never being in such an expensive car. I am even afraid of getting in."

"No need of being afraid. Its mine and noone is gonna ask you about why you are riding on it. Now come."

Yaah. I know what your guys are wondering. I own a pink audi and its one among many cars I own.

"Am sorry but I want to become a burden to you."

"No, you are not. You remind me of my sister but she is gone. So the way I could have taken care of her that's how I will take care of you. You are now my baby sister and do not hesitate to tell me anything you need or want to tell me. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Am Issabelle by the way but you can call me Issa."

"Am Ariana, call me Ria."

"Okay Ria. First let us go to the restaurant cause am really hungry and I have not yet eaten."

"Okay. Am really sorry that you did not get to take your breakfast in the cafe because of me."

"Can you please stop blaming yourself about everything that is happening around you? It is not your fault. It is nobody's fault."

"Okay."

We came by a restaurant and I decided we should go in instead of looking for less expensive restaurants like a cafe and the nearest cafe from here is thirty minutes drive."

"Come, let's go and eat."

"In there?"

She asked as she looked down at herself.

I knew she thought that this was only for the rich who went there in fancy clothes but I really don't care about what other people think. They can rot in hell for all I care."

"Yes, in there. Do not worry about the people in there and when we enter please order anything you want. Do not feel embarrassed about that. I will pay for everything so don't starve yourself cause the food is expensive. Okay?"

She just nodded. I knew she was having an internal conflict but she needed to take care about herself. I will not always be there for her.

After we entered. We sat at a corner where we will not be interrupted.

"Excuse me, what can I get you?"

"Black coffee, less sugar more milk please."

"A mango juice will do."

"Okay, I will be right back,"

"So tell me more about you."

"Here, are your orders,"

"Thank You,"

"Hope you will enjoy and become a frequency customer."

I bet all waitress are formal and polite.

"Yeah, we will,"

She left.

"Okay. Am Ariana Rodriguez. I do not know my parents. I lived in the children's home till I was six. I was adopted by the Rodriguez family. My foster mother loved me so much but she died of cancer when I was fourteen. After that my foster dad threw me out of the house claiming that I was there just because of mom and since she was no more there was no reason for me living there. I got a job at a cafe where I worked and spent my night. I was able to complete my high school studies with the money I earned there and mom had saved a little amount for me. After I graduated high school, I could not afford college fees since the cafe was also closed. I always wanted to become a fashion designer but luck was not on my side."

"Dont say that. Am sure you will one day become a fashion designer. You just have to believe."

"Okay. I believe that I will become a fashion designer in future."

She said with a smile which I returned genuinely.

"Okay. So tell me favorite dish, color, wears, places."

"Honestly I do not have favorite dish, shoes, clothes. My favorite color is purple and I always dreamt to go to paris."

"Ooh okay."

After fifteen minutes, we were through.

"Let's go to the mall and get you clothes and shoes."

"Okay."

We went to the Russo's mall. I love this place. It always have best outfit for every kind of occassions.

"Come let's go. Choose everything you want and dont look at the price tag. Money is not an issue."

We walked to the jeans sections. In that section we chose 50 jeans. We later bought 20 crop tops, 20 off shoulders, 20 tops, 20 sweat skirts and 20 dresses. I chose 5 dresses in case am invited to a party.

As we walked towards the cashier I saw her looking at the boots, heels and sneakers. She looked at me hesitantly and afraid. I held her and walked towards the section. We chose all kinds of shoes.

We walked to the cashier.

"Hello bellisimina."

That voice! I wanted to hear it so badly. I turned around and saw him.

"Hae. What are you doing here."

"I own this."

Wait...who the hell is this man seriously?

I need to find out.

"What?"

He chuckled.

"Yes amore. Honestly am shocked you do not know me. Everyone knows me. That's one think I like about you. You did not try gaining my attention cause of my position and money."

What the heck!

"Wait. Am neither after your damn money or position. I have my own money. About position, I bet you are so powerful in the mafia cause of all the guards that were surrounding your mansion."

"Ooh so you know about the mafia? I really wondered why you did not recognize me. Or were you just pretending?"

"Ria can you go and wait for me in the car?"

"Okay." She left.

"Listen to me you idiot. I really do not know you and I will find out who you are. I don't give a damn about your fucking position or your power. I am also powerful in the mafia. It is just that my family kept me away from it for protection."

"Ooh. So you are daddy's girl? You still need protection even though you are old? I really pity you."

I have honestly heard enough of this man. I took out my gun from my waistband and shot him in his knees.

"Fuck you asshole."

He groaned in pain.

"Don't make a mistake of been my enemy if you do not want to have one of the most powerful mafia after you."

"You can never be my enemy amore. Cause I really want you. Even if you have shot me, am still hard for you. You make me go crazy. I also do not know you and I will find out and when I do you will be mine."

I was already wet as I listened to him.

"Too bad you are shot hence you can fuck."

I said while touching his dick.

He groaned, I smirked and left.

"You are really going to regret making me hard and leaving me like this principessa." He shouted as I exit the mall.

We later went to the hair dresser and Ria changed her looks. She dyed her hair blonde. She was really beautiful. We also did our nails.

We went ate lunch and did groceries shopping. We drove home after we finished our shopping.

"You have a beautiful house."

"Thank you. Now it is also your home. Feel free."

"Thank you."

I gave her a tour around the house. I picked the room besides mine as hers so that I can hear her in case of emergencies.

"Now go and freshen up. I will buy you a phone and laptop later but right now you can watch the TV."

"Okay. Thanks."

She was now adjusting.
