Chapter 24: Unravelled past
Fiorella tries screaming but Tito places his finger on his lips. The man was groaning loudly on the floor, his eyes were tightly shut, he hardly got a glimpse of Tito’s face, it was too fast and sudden.
Fiorella covers her mouth suppressing her sobs, she has never seen something this horrific before, he just sliced someone’s manhood off and he doesn’t seem to show any fear or remorse.
“Come out” Tito orders and Fiorella grabs her bag from the floor and steps out as he ordered.
She feels some pee drop in her panties, she’s feeling so scared.
“We will go back like nothing happened” Tito whispers, his cold eyes warning her not to act awkwardly.
He doesn’t know why he even defended her, it’s reckless of him but that bastard deserves it, he feels he has a right over her. Fiorella nods shakily.
“Wipe your tears away” He commands and she quickly raises up her glasses and cleans her tears.
He drags her out of the restroom to the back exit, this isn’t the first time he’s coming here.
“What… about him?” Fiorella stutters fearfully.
She knows the man tried to rape her but its terrible to leave him in that state.
“He can die for all I care” Tito shrieks and pulls her out through the back door
“You walk in first” Tito mutters and Fiorella walks in and acts like nothing happened.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She goes back to the side of the mannequin where she stood before. Tito sees the remaining two guys who came with that pervert leaving.
“We should wait for Vance” the first one tells the other.
“No, he can come when he’s done f**king her” the second one replies.
They both enter the car and drive off. Tito smirks and walks into the place and goes to Sebastian who was still waiting for him.
“I’m sorry, I had some issues” Tito lies.
“Alright, do you like these ones?” Sebastian asks and shows him some more designs.
“Not too much”

Fiorella is sitting beside Tito, he allowed her into his car after checking out the collections, Fiorella jigs down some things in her note pad and puts her stuff in her bag.
“Do you think he’s going to die?” Fiorella asks, shakingly.
“Can you stop asking the same question, nobody is going to find out about it, they might just find his corpse, don’t you think he deserves it? And don’t you think I deserve some appreciation for saving you from that long d*ck?!” Tito fired.
Fiorella moves closer to the car door and pouts her lips.
“Thank you “She mutters and rests her head on the car door.
Many thoughts crosses her mind, how he could be so emotionless and at all, it was so easy to kill someone, he’s becoming more scary each day. She remembered Noello’s words and now understood what the child meant, Mafia king, dangerous people, it all makes sense, Enzo is also a spy because the company is suspected to be a cover up for shady businesses.
Fiorella’s heart quivers, she’s working for a dangerous man that could kill without mercy, what has she gotten herself into.
“Are you a murderer?” Fiorella asks with a scared face.
“Yes and you will be the next in my lips if you don’t shut up, foolish woman” Tito yells and looks away.
Fiorella pouts and scoffs.
“Insane” Tito cuss.
“Won’t they catch you? I don’t want to go to jail, I have a family to take care of, I can’t go to jail now” Fiorella rants close to tears.
She’s a single mother, she can’t imagine going to jail now. she hasn’t seen her twins grow up yet or even achieve anything.
“I don’t want to go to jail” Fiorella cries.
“You are really pissing me off, no one is going to jail here, the way you are talking people are going to find out and then you will go to jail” Tito was scaring her.
“I will keep quiet” Fiorella sniffs and holds her lips.

Noelle is surrounded by a group of kids from other shops close to her grandma’s shop, they are used to bullying her but Noello is always there to defend her but today he’s not around.
“Where’s your older brother?” one of the boys asked, flexing his little fists.
“He’s not my Fratello maggiore!” Noelle yells angrily, it’s hard to make her angry but these boys are getting on her nerves.
“Since you have no one to defend you now, we are going to be bearing the hell out of you, Bambina!” Another boy mocks and they burst into laughter.
“I’m not a baby and I’m going to twist that big mouth of yours that resembles a cave!” Noelle yells, she isn’t scared of them one bit.
She’s going to give them the beating of their lives with or without Noello. They are four in number, the first one tries attacking Noelle but she gives him a kick in his face that sends him straight to the ground.
“Ouch” he cried holding his jaw. The others are stunned at her strength.
“I will handle her,” the second one said confidently.
He moves forward and tries punching Noelle but she dodges it, catches his arm and flips him over her shoulder.
“A… ya… Ah!!!” He screams as his back hits the floor.
“Mamma” He cries holding his back in pain.
“What’s going on here? ” Signora Ginvera asks, she’s just waking up from her short nap.
“Let’s get out of here” the remaining two boys chorus and help their injured friends up. They walk away in fear.
“Nothing, grandma,” Noelle smiles cutely.
“Those boys!” Noello yells as he sees their back views.
“Leave them, I’ve given them a taste of their own medicine” Noelle smirks.
“You’ve learned from your fratello…”
“Don’t complete it, you are just older than me with minutes which is absolutely nothing, Geez” Noelle scoffs.
“You are a badass now” Noelle smirks, at least she can defend herself now.
“I’m off!” Noello yells and runs off.
“Come back here” Signora Ginvera yells and touches her chest.
“I’m too young to have a heart attack” She adds.
“Grandma, you are old” Noelle giggles.
“Keep quiet!”She shuns making Noelle laugh louder.

“Drop me here” Fiorella mutters and the car stops.
“Bye, Boss” Fiorella mumbled and got out of the car.
Tito looks at his side and sees her bag.
“She forgot her bag, like seriously” Tito rolls his eyes and turns to his driver.
“Follow that lady that just came down from the car” Tito instructs and the driver drives the car in the direction, Fiorella went.
After some minutes of driving, Tito sees Fiorella hugging a kid. Tito grabs her bag and steps out of the car, he walks towards Signora Ginvera’s shop. He’s almost close when someone hits the bag in his hand.
“Hey!” Tito yells and Noello faces him.
“You again” Tito mutters recognizing the kid, he looks at him and Gwendolyn was right.
“He looks like me” Tito mutters and blinks, not taking his eyes off the kid.
“You shouldn’t stand in the way of other people” Noello speaks out and his voice stuns Tito.
“Where is your mom?” Tito asks curiously.
Noello ignores him and goes to Signora Ginvera’s tie and dye shop. Tito follows from behind and people are shocked to see the resemblance.
“Is he his father?”
“He looks so much like naughty Noello” An elderly woman adds.
“Mamma, this man is stalking me!” Noello reports to Fiorella.
“Which man?” Fiorella asks and looks up, her eyes widens in shock.
Fiorella’s hands release Noelle’s hair in shock, her lips start trembling. Signora Ginvera is shocked to see Tito, he looks like the older version of Noello.
“I don’t like bullies ” Noelle rants.
“Right, Mamma?”
“He’s not a bully, I said stalker, such a dummy” Noello yells and rushes his hair to the side.
“Whatever” Noelle scoffs.
Tito has never been so shocked in his life, his secretary is the mother of two children. Tito faces Noello again, the same eye colour, hair colour, baby-like version of his voice, pink little lips the only thing missing is a beard and his height.
Tito can’t kick out the sudden thought in his mind “Is he my son?”
