Miabella's pair of gray eyes did not blink when she saw the incredible sight before her. The girl was stunned without a word, as she watched three black panthers in the room with an iron door that had just opened. Two of the beasts were walking back and forth. While another chose to remain silent in the corner of the room that became their cage. The eyes of the savage beast were yellow, staring intently at Miabella who was still glued to her place.
“Yes, God,” hiss the beautiful girl can't believe. He intended to walk closer towards the iron bars.
“No!” prevent Carlo immediately. “Don't get too close. They're not used to you.” The handsome man held onto Miabella's arm to keep her from advancing.
“Are they not tame yet? They look so adorable. I was eager to hold it,” the girl's chattering that instantly made Carlo frown, with Miabella's odd, enthusiastic-looking attitude.
“You're not afraid?” ask Carlo astonished.
“Why should I be afraid? They're just cats. It just so happened that his body was much bigger. After all, they're inside the cage.” Miabella laughed softly. He then looked at the personal guard.
“As long as you are near me, there is nothing that will make me feel afraid,” the girl said again, leaving Carlo speechless to look at her for a while. She kept watching Miabella who looked so enthusiastic.
“Since when are they here?” ask Miabella then
“They are second generation, that's what Mr. Adriano told me. He used to keep a guy named Camaro. Though the sex is female, but I also do not understand why the master gave her such a name.” Carlo knitted his brows and looked thoughtful.
“Then, what's their name?” miabella asked again still with her attitude that seemed very curious, because she wanted to get closer and touch the three animals.
“Do you see the two of them walking back and forth? It was Archie and Louie. While the aloof named Dexter,” explained Carlo while pointing one by one, from the three black panthers in the cage earlier.
“I'd love to touch it,” said Miabella with a spoiled look.
“No!” reject Carlo immediately.
“Really sucks. Daddy Zio kept this animal for a long time, but he didn't tell me at all,” complained Miabella again grunting quietly. “Does my mother know about this?”
“Not at all,” someone replied from behind. Adriano's heavy voice rang out inside the room, making the two of them instantly freeze.
“Dead me,” murmured Carlo slowly. He must be prepared to accept the consequences of his innocence for having let Miabella get in there. There are very clear rules from Adriano about this.
“Nobody knows, neither does your mother. I don't want to scare him,” Adriano said again as he walked closer. The man who was about to turn fifty was standing right behind his daughter. “What are you doing here, Bella?” ask Adriano flat. He obviously did not like it when he had to find Miabella in the most secret room of his mansion.
“I .. I just want to look around,” said Miabella while turning her back, then smiled at the father who put on a hostile look. The usual Adriano looked friendly and warm, it looked cold. “Are you going to scold me again, Daddy Zio?” ask plain miabella.
“But you shouldn't have come in here,” Adriano said without responding to her daughter's question. He then turned his gaze to Carlo who was just speechless. “Come out and go to your room, Bella. I want to talk to Carlo for a while,” tell Adriano without taking a look from her foster children who are now much older.
Realizing the serious attitude that Adriano showed, of course, made Miabella became alarmed. He glanced at Carlo who still chose not to make a sound. “It's my fault, Daddy Zio. I forced him to ...”
“Go from here, Bella,” cut Adriano quite firmly.
However, Miabella did not comply. The beautiful girl shifted her body, thus becoming a shield for Carlo. “I will not let you scold let alone punish him, Daddy Zio,” said Miabella firmly.
Adriano did not answer. His gaze was still on the thirty-four-year-old man, who seemed ready to accept any risk from his negligence. “You won't do anything to Carlo! I make sure of that,” insists Miabella again.
“This is none of your business, Principessa,” Adriano said in response to her daughter's remarks. “Come out first. Let me talk to Carlo.” Adriano did not take his eyes off the thirty-four-year-old man who still chose not to say anything to him.
That was Carlo's attitude when he felt guilty. He won't talk much, let alone argue. The man just kept quiet and listened to the reprimand he was addressing himself. Moreover, if the angry is an Adriano D’Angelo. Carlo would not dare to argue at all.
“If Daddy Zio wants to punish him, then punish me too,” said Miabella insisted with her attitude. He seemed to have no fear at all when challenging Adriano.
If the father had mentioned his full name, then Miabella would not be able to dwell. While bowing her face, the beautiful girl walked past Adriano just like that until she was near the entrance. However, before actually getting out of there, Miabella then turned around and looked at Carlo who was also looking at him with an indecipherable highlight. This was not separated from Adriano's observation.
“Have you guys looked at each other?” chirped the blue-eyed man, making
Carlo stammered and turned his attention back to him. However, the dark-haired man's eyes can still catch Miabella who has come out of the secret room earlier.
“What are you thinking, Carlo?” adriano asked in such a cold and flat tone.
“I'm sorry Sir. It is entirely my fault,” Carlo replied as he lowered his head deeply.
“In this work, you cannot engage the heart. If you include your feelings, then you won't be able to resist whatever my daughter wishes. Let me remind you once again that his salvation is your responsibility" Adriano said.
“I understand, Sir,” said Carlo nodded slowly. He briefly raised his face for a moment, then met Adriano before looking down again.
“It would be dangerous if you couldn't resist Miabella's wishes. What if he wants high-risk things, while you're just submissive and obedient to whatever my daughter wants? Your job is to make sure he is safe, even though Bella does not like him,” insists Adriano again.
“I promise to change my attitude, Sir,” said Carlo steady.
Adriano did not respond immediately. He instead observed the man who had the same eyeball color as himself. Adriano did not miss the slightest solid figure from the tip of the head to the tip of the foot. “I so have an idea to keep you away from my daughter,” the cetus a while later.
Carlo immediately looked up and was wide-eyed when he heard that. “A-is that what it means, sir? Are you going to fire me?” ask her with a face that looks careless.
However, Adriano laughed softly upon hearing Carlo's question. “Which way maybe I can fire you. To me, you are like a boy I never had,”. “I was just thinking of finding another bodyguard for Miabella. That way, you can stay here to be my aide. I'll dress you in a dapper, neat suit like Pierre used to. You know, don't you? A shirt with formal pants," explained the man who still looks charming. He seemed to be smiling faintly.
Carlo was unable to answer. He was shocked by the decision he had just heard. “A-I .. I'm not used to being neatly dressed, Sir,” her protest in stature.
“Over time you will get used to it,” reply Adriano while reaching into his pants pocket and taking out a pack of cigarettes. He then offered to a handsome man who still looked clumsy because he did not know what to say.
Carlo nodded weakly. “No, Sir. Thank you,” refuse it politely.
“Lusa, I'll take Miabella to stay at Casa de Luca. He wants to calm down while looking for the desired experience. I don't know what it's like, because I don't really understand it either" Adriano said with a cigarette box he hadn't opened.
"I hope you stay here and start learning your new job as an aide,” Adriano said again as he pulled a cigarette with his lips.
Seeing that, Carlo immediately thrust an automatic match to Adriano even though he was not asked. He even helped ignite the master's cigarette, until white smoke billowed slowly from the man's nose and mouth.
“So, miss Miabella will move to Casa de Luca without me?” reiterate Carlo hesitating. The handsome with his fierce and macho look was looking to knit eyebrows.
“Yes, do you mind that?” adriano asked while smoking his cigarette deeply, while continuing to pay attention to the look on Carlo's face that was suddenly moody.
“No, Sir. I don't have to mind. In any case, I must always obey all your decisions,” replied Carlo who again lowered his face. Every now and then, the man scratched his forehead and rubbed his dark hair.
“Are you sure you will accept it, even if my decision goes against your deepest heart?” adriano's fishing rod, made Carlo look up and look at him with a questioning look.
While Miabella who had been eavesdropping from behind the wall, heard a slow snort. The girl rushed away from there. He walked quite quickly while grumbling, making him not careful with his own steps. The girl stumbled and fell down on the steps of the stairs.
"Fucking ladder!" curse Miabella while kicking one of her steps. But then, he suddenly grimaced in pain. "Ah, stupid!" grunts again. Miabella was very upset at Adriano's decision.
