The Bodyguard's
Something Bad

Grigori was already getting ready in bed, when she got a message from Carlo asking for news of Miabella's condition. In the middle-aged man's heart there is a great sense of guilt, when he replies that Miabella is doing well. Grigori said that Carlo should not worry and should stay focused on his initial goal.

After getting a reassuring answer from Grigori, Carlo tries to stay positive. He wants to be able to carry out as soon as possible all that has been planned. Early this fall, he and his chosen people will begin to finalize the plan.

Although there was a sense of unease that struck the corner of his heart at this moment.

Such a strange feeling that could not be explained with words. However, Carlo immediately brushed it off and convinced himself that everything would be fine. “Wait for me, Bella. I'll pick you up soon,” murmured as I lay down on the bed.

......................

Meanwhile, Miabella has arrived at Casa de Luca. Although it still looks weak, but the eldest daughter Mia still shows a strong side, as possessed by a Matteo de Luca. Miabella didn't even let Luciella to clean it up. "I'm not a sick man!" reject the girl. As usual, with a loud tone.

The beautiful gray-eyed girl walked gracefully, towards the main entrance of the Casa de Luca building. However, his strength and self-confidence instantly disappeared, when he saw the figure of Adriano was already in the living room with a man who was none other than Vlad. "Daddy Zio," said Miabella. He tried to look ordinary and fine in front of his father.

"Where are you from, Bella?" ask Adriano. At first glance, he glanced at the plaster attached to his daughter's wrist. However, Adriano refrained from asking questions first, because there was another person, Vlad.

"I just went for treatment because I felt a little unwell" Miabella said. She would never say that she had just had a miscarriage. A moment later, the beautiful girl turned to Luciella who was standing with her head bowed behind her. The young maid was holding a bag of medicine that Miabella had to drink. "Back to your job, Luciella," he said.

Without making a sound, Luciella nodded politely. The young girl also nodded to Adriano, then looked at Vlad for a moment. After that, the young maid who was now getting close to Miabella then moved from before them.

While Miabella who had wanted to rest in the room, was forced to sit for a moment between the father and a stranger who had made herself feel fed up. The girl did not even want to look at the owner of the blonde hair in the slightest.

"Mr Ignashevich has already sent you a proposal of cooperation. However, it looks like you haven't checked or ...." Adriano paused the speech intentionally. He saw the uncomfortable look displayed by his beloved daughter. Adriano had known Miabella for a long time, so he could know everything that his eldest daughter felt, even if Miabella did not say anything.

"I was very busy and had not checked the incoming email. You know for yourself that we just did a big harvest this late summer. After she left, I did everything alone" said Miabella. His voice grew quieter in the last sentence he said.

Adriano understood the girl's disappointment. However, he did not want to reply at this time. "Yes. I have explained this to Mr. Ignashevich. That's why he took the initiative to meet you in person. I happen to have a need to get to Casa de Luca. I want to get a message from Mia. However, we will discuss that later," explained Adriano. He directed his gaze to Vlad for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Vlad replied with the same thing. After that, the man with a bun hairstyle had turned his attention to Miabella who did not turn to her in the least. "Miss de Luca" said Vlad with a smile that looked very charming. He touched his right ear, which was adorned with a small black platinum piercing. Vlad knows and can sense that Miabella is keeping her distance and may not want to be touched at all.

"alright. I'll check the email you sent. I am very tired and want to rest. My body condition is not fit either. Excuse me. Excuse me." Miabella got up from her seat. He intended to go to the room, before the voice of a man who was the gatekeeper made himself have to undo the intention.

"Miss, there's a delivery for you" said the guard as he handed her a bunch of beautiful white lilies.

Miabella looked lazy. He was also heard complaining slowly when he received the flower delivery earlier. I saw the card there. As always, from someone with the initials V. "Is the courier still there?" miabella asked coldly.

"He left immediately after giving this to the guard at the first gate," the man replied while nodding and intending to retreat from before the young lady.

Miabella was stunned for a moment, after hearing the guard's words. The tail of his eyes then glanced at Vlad who was talking to Adriano. The annoyance was again present in the heart of the beautiful girl. "Wait!" prevent it rather loudly to the gatekeeper earlier. The man also looked. "Take this. You can throw it in the trash," tell the girl haughtily. Miabella's heart was satisfied when she saw Vlad staring at her with a sorry look.

Without saying anything more, Miabella turned around and then just passed by towards her room. While Vlad only scratched a soft forehead that did not itch. "Is your daughter in trouble?" vlad asked Adriano, who was uncomfortable with the girl's attitude. "I'm sorry if I was presumptuous by asking like this. I only felt astonished when I saw him who looked depressed."

"Not really," answered Adriano, smiling calmly. "This is the first time Miabella has learned to live independently. So, I think he's adapting to all his new activities and maybe not as comfortable as he used to be. He had a great responsibility at this time for the continuity of the estate belonging to the de Luca family. I don't think such a task is easy for a young girl like her. That's why, I apologize if there are some of Miabella's less pleasing attitude. My daughter is just not used to it" Adriano explained.

"Actually I have no problem with that. Your daughter looks different than most girls. I think she's unique and .. and of course very beautiful." Vlad gave a crisp laugh at his own words. "I hope you're not offended, Mr. D'Angelo," he said later.

"Just calm. I'm not a typical irritable person" the father of two daughters replied, with a smile that was made as friendly as possible. Actually, there were many things Adriano wanted to convey to the Russian man at that time. However, the loud noise coming from the interior of the Casa de Luca building had managed to break its concentration.

“Jeez, what's up with this?” adriano said with a curious look. He looked around the room. Unfortunately, no waiter passed there.

Adriano's mind immediately floated on Miabella who had looked less healthy. He's becoming more and more anxious. “Sorry, Mr. Ignashevich. Would you excuse me for a moment? I have to check on Miabella first.” her farewell.

“Oh of course, Mr. D'Angelo. Go ahead. Don't worry, because I'm not in a hurry,” Vlad replied while nodding politely. Adriano replied with thanks. He felt impressed with the young man, because of his polite and understanding attitude. Without wasting too much time, the middle-aged man then immediately turned around and walked hurriedly towards Miabella's room.

It's true what Adriano was expecting. The man saw that Miabella was not well. The girl stood up while leaning against the outside wall of the room, with her eyes closed. A little more, his body will sag to the floor, if only Adriano did not immediately hold back and immediately grabbed it.
