"Hey, Marco! You're so outrageous. I've been lying there for a long time and you haven't seen me here in a while" Coco protested when she got a call from Daniella's husband. "Now that I'm recovering, you show up. You dick!" the curly-haired man.
Instead of being offended, Marco laughed out loud at Coco's nagging. "I'm sorry, Coco. I took my wife and two sons around Europe. You know, it's not, it's an old plan that's just been realized right now" he explained. "Later I will definitely stop by Casa de Luca, after all the business is done of course" said Marco again.
"Damn you! I almost died yesterday and you can still have fun" Coco grumbled again.
Marco laughed again with great satisfaction, to the point that Coco had to keep the phone away from his ear. "You're alive right now and you're even grumbling at me" he said, chuckling.
"Shut up! My stomach still hurts if this emotion. Never mind, I don't know where you care about me anymore" Coco replied in annoyance.
"Oh, jeez. You're so sensitive," ledek Marco again. "I told you I'd come there later. Is Adriano still in Casa de Luca?"
"No," Coco replied immediately, "Adriano is already ..." the curly-haired man did not continue his words, when there was a gatekeeper coming to face him. The man was standing in the doorway. He did not dare to approach, because he saw Coco who was busy talking on the phone. Coco gestured to the gatekeeper earlier by simply moving an eyebrow. But the man still said nothing. "What's wrong?" ask Coco at the end.
The big tall guard came closer. Politely and respectfully, she told Coco something, which made the brown-eyed man seem to think for a moment, before she nodded her head in agreement. Not long after, the guard returned to the outside, at his guard post. Coco continues the conversation with Marco. "Next time I call you again. I have to take guests first" he said before ending the call. Coco then placed her phone on the table, when the guest in question was there.
Giovanni Francesco Ricci had a dream when he found a beautiful red-haired woman who had come to visit him in Casa de Luca. Yes, Miljana Manduzic aka Monique comes with a warm smile that looks very sweet and charming. With graceful steps like a model, Monique walked over to Coco who was still standing with a look of disbelief.
"Hi, Ricci. How are you?" greet Monique always with her sweet attitude.
"I've been much better. Francy took care of me very painstakingly," Coco replied with a smile. At that time, the condition of the curly-haired man had indeed gradually recovered, although he could not move normally as usual. However, Coco has started to be able to walk around the house.
"Oh, thank goodness. I'm so glad to hear it" Monique replied. As usual, the pair of emerald green eyes of former assistant Nenad Ljudevit was always filled with twinkle full of admiration if it had faced Coco. "I'm so lucky. It is not difficult to find the address of this place," Monique said, circulating her gaze throughout the room. His gaze was then locked onto a photo of a size large enough and gold-framed. "Whose picture is that?" tanyakanya. He walked over, then stood before the photo as he continued to observe it closely.
"He is Matteo de Luca, my friend," said Coco who then approached Monique and stood next to him. "To avenge his death, I have to undergo treatment until now. However, that was nothing compared to the meaning of our friendship. If it can be exchanged, then I would be willing to replace my life with his life," said Coco who also noticed the photo of her close friend.
"Is that how?" Monique turned her head with a look of her eyes that looked astonished.
"Yes. There were a lot of people crying and hurting from Matteo's departure. Different me. I'm just a kara in this world" explained Coco with a bitter smile.
"Aren't there Francesca? It seems like he loves you very much. He would be jealous if he saw me here" Monique said lightly. However, Coco did not respond to the speech of the maniacal woman. He prefers to let Monique sit down. The red-haired woman chose the spot right next to Coco. He crossed his legs with his body half facing the man.
"When did you arrive in Italy?" coco asked as she glanced at the beautiful woman earlier. "Ah, yes. You want something to drink? The wines of Casa de Luca are among the best in Italy. You should taste it." Coco then called one of the servants. He asked to serve Monique a drink.
"Ow, I feel very special," Monique said as Coco poured the drink into the crystal glass she immediately thrust at the woman. "You don't drink either, Handsome?"
"No. Francy will scold me all out" Coco refused immediately.
"Oh, it's a pity that your condition has not fully recovered. It's been a long time since that day, and you're still struggling with your wounds, honey," said Monique, who wore a pitying face. "Actually, I arrived in Italy about a few days ago. However, I went straight to Positano and enjoyed the beautiful end of summer there. Know it? I got an acquaintance of a local guy. His name is Giordano Vittori. He's not as handsome as you or the man in the picture. But I really liked his polite attitude. We had made an appointment to meet again before I returned to Serbia" Monique said with a beautiful twinkle in her eyes.
"I've always been curious about handsome men. However, Italian men certainly have more value. It's all because of you" said Monique, laughing amusedly at her own words, "but, the Italian man does give a very extraordinary magnet" continued the red-haired woman again. He then sipped his drink. "Excellent wine," he murmured in astonishment.
"I'm very impressed" Coco said in response to the beautiful woman's flattery. He then took a slow breath before returning to speak. "Then what about your research? Has there been any progress?" he began to discuss something serious.
"Not too significant. You know not if it takes a long time to do a research. After all, the damage that Nenad has inflicted has really gone out of bounds" Monique explained as she filed a complaint quietly.
"Yesterday the man managed to escape. If he stays alive, it is not impossible that he will return to carry on all his dirty work" Coco said, turning her eyes to Matteo's photo.
"Yes, it could happen. Nenad is a very cunning man and also so slippery. It's hard to finish him off. Moreover, as far as I know he also has a lot of hiding places, and it is not only in Serbia," Monique said with confidence, thus making Coco immediately correct her sitting position. The man faced the beautiful woman with a curious look. Coco felt more and more interested in the conversation.
"Is that so? You know where Nenad's hideout is?" catch Coco while raising her eyebrows.
Monique gave a crisp laugh hearing the question from Coco. She then pulled up her beautiful long hair. "I'm not sure where he is at the moment. However, if Nenad is not in Serbia, then he must go to his resting house which is Vukovar, Croatia," he explained.
"Vukovar, Croatia?" repeat Coco with the mangosteen.
"Yes. I know he goes there often. Actually, I used to be invited to that place, but only once. I didn't want to go back even though he once asked me to accompany him again " Monique said. He showed an uncomfortable expression after saying so.
"Why indeed?" ask Coco who is increasingly interested in the discussion.
Monique seemed to think for a moment before answering questions from Coco. He turned his attention to the opening of the living room, which directly faced the spacious courtyard area with a fountain pool as its decoration. A moment later, the beautiful woman looked back at Coco with eyes that looked a little strange and unusual. "You know, Handsome? I don't like that place" he replied with a small grimace.
"Why? Is it like the Black Tower?" ask Coco again who continues to try to extract information from the former assistant Nenad Ljudevit.
"I think it's a lot more terrifying than the Black Tower. I see a quiet street. Rarely do vehicles pass through. Nenad took me to a two-story old building on the corner of the street. The building was very spacious but it looked scary. Moreover, because it is located among the ruins of the rest of the war. There is no other building that is still in shape, other than the two-story building earlier. Everything looks poranda. I don't know how many lives were killed there" Monique said with a glaring gaze on the broad courtyard of Casa de Luca.
"Why does Nenad Ljudevit like places like that?" coco muttered in thought.
"Eitherway. I think it's possible to disguise all his business activities. I'm sure that inside that vast building, he's also conducting another experiment. Nenad is someone who .. ah how do I explain it?" Monique clucked softly as she was confused by the words she was about to say to Coco. "However, I don't know what he's doing there either, because I honestly don't dare to go any further. I was too scared to die," the red-haired woman laughed bitterly.
"It's natural for a woman like you to feel that way. I think being near Nenad with all its madness is already more courage for you, Miljana," Coco said in a casual response to Monique's words about her fear.
"Yes, maybe that's why I need a protector. A brave figure like you, for example," the red-haired woman joked with a crisp, spoiled laugh.
Coco responded with the same thing. They both looked very familiar at that time and seemed to be chatting affectionately. At least that's what Francesca's view is. The hazel-eyed girl had just emerged from another part of the Casa de Luca building. He then stood before the two of them with an unfriendly face, especially to Monique. "Oh, there's a guest apparently. Though it's time I wipe your body, dear," Francesca said with a speech style and a smile that seemed contrived.
