"Young master, I am back," Juan stated with worries glues to his face.

"What happened? What took you so long to return, why is that?" Adonis questions as he button his shirt.

"Young master, Signorina," he says.

"What is with Signorina?" Adonis face became stern.

"I dropped her at the gate of the Balboa's, she insists I should walk her in, so I let her go in by herself," he sniffs

"And...?"

Juan face was not in his right expression and it's getting on Adonis's nerves.

"I drove half way and discovered that she forgot her scarf and decided to return it to her by driving back, immediatdiately I entered the gate, the gate keeper told me that it's not the right timing that Signorina is being punished by great grand master, Avala and Graciela, so I quickly left,"

"I think you might want to go down personally and have a look,"

Hearing this made Adonis anger rises. This is what he was avoiding, distraction from anyone but it seems Caitrona is the biggest distraction ever for him.

Immediatdiately, he flashes back to Caitrona's words.

"I fell in love with you because you were the only one apart from my grandma and Gianna that has ever treated me with love and care and showed me concern..."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will never regret my decision,"

Remembering this, he sighs.

"Get the car ready,"

"Understood!" A bright smile left Juan's face.

Adonis quickly put on his complete attire as Juan gets the car.

The chief servant kept on whipping Caitrona even her dress is torn but still didn't stop doing what she was asked to.

"Grandmother, this child is very stubborn, if you continue to hit her..." Avala words where replaced with grandmother's.

"Continue to hit her till she admits to her wrong," she yells.

Chief servant continues.

"Wait for me Nonna, Caitrona will get back to you soon," she mumurs to herself.

Remembering the sober looks of her Nonna, with one more trash of the cane, she fainted.

The chief servant immediatdiately stops with terrified terror to her face.

"Continue, did I tell you to stop?" grandmother yells angrily at the chief servant.

Graciela smiles. "Caitrona, couldn't you fight really well, why are you lying on the floor so quickly?"

The door immediatdiately slammed open, they all turn around in shock as men on black suit and glasses walks in.

"Who is it?" Avala asks.

From the side of the big golden gate, Adonis slowly walks in.

"Adonis Dellucci?" they mutters.

He walks closer to where Caitrona was lying down faint. She slowly opens her eyes.

"Uncle DD, why are you here?" She faints again.

He bent over and carry her from the cold floor seeing her dress torn, he became angry looking at the still terrified faces of the devil's.

"This daughter of a bitch manage to seduce Adonis Dellucci?" Avala murmurs beside grandmother.

"How dare you interfere with the business of the Balboa family?" the chief servant yelled angrily pointing at Adonis as he was about to walk away.

Adonis stops and glare at the servant. One of his bodyguard quickly grabs her beside her back and holds her hands backwards.

"You lowly servant, you even dare to point a finger to Young master Dellucci!"

"Ahhh..." the chief servant yelled in pain.

"Young master Dellucci, what do you have against this prostitute child? Why always helping her," grandmother yells angrily.

"The girl you called a prostitute was with me the whole of yesterday, if she gets punished for it, I've to take care of the matter,"

"What? How can this be? She went out with Adonis Dellucci? I definitely..." Graciela mutters beside her confused mother and grandmother.

"Young Master, no matter what, this is a family matter of the Balboa family, it's not up to an outsider to be involved," grandmother yells at the top of her voice.

Adonis frown tightens. "What if I say I must take care of today's matter?"

Grandmother groans. "Young Master Dellucci, I hope you are able to differentiate good from bad?"

"To differentiate good from bad? Should I show you the meaning or just tell you?" he nods to his guard and one of them brought out a gun from the inside of his suit.

Graciela and Avala yells in fright as the expression in grandmother's face was replaced with shock.

"You...you..."

"We are sorry Signora Balboa, our young master respects you as his senior and didn't want you to be humiliated, I'll be glad if you respect his decision!" one of the guard voiced out.

They walked away from the house leaving the Balboa's in shock.

"Grandmother, are you okay?" Avala rushed to hold grandmother immediatdiately she steps back.

With wide eyes. "What is happening? How can this dark skin child of the Balboa seduce Adonis Dellucci under our watch?"

"I am not surprise at all, her mother did same with your son, grandmother." Avala frowns.

"She can seduce people, I even heard from Graciela that she was seducing a male course mate in their department and fell into that person's care..." Avala adds.

"I really need to put an effort to teach this spoilt girl a better upbringing,"

****

"Uncle DD, thank you for saving me again, I really do appreciate," Caitrona manage to sit down resting her back on the bed head.

"You're awake, it's fine," Adonis sits on a small stool closer to her bed.

He gets up. "I've called Your father... He'll send for someone to pick you up later," he was about to walk out but Caitrona grabs his shirt.

"Wait! My Nonna got sick and wanted to see me, I want to rush to Sicily first to see her. Adonis Dellucci, I beg of you, help me please!" she plead.

Adonis slowly turns around not looking at her sorrowful face.

"Caitrona, I don't want to meddle in your family affairs," he voices out coldly.

Hearing this, Caitrona let's go of his shirt. "Then why did you rescued me?"

The question got Adonis in his heart, he was confused, a confused man that doesn't know what he wants.

"I will arrange a flight and someone to send you to Sicily, tomorrow evening, but no more next time," he voices out coldly and walks away from the room.

Tears rain down her eyes painful.

"Brother Donnie!" Lagatha calls from the side of the door.

Lagatha Apollinaris (Agatha for short) second daughter of the Apollinaris family, in love with Adonis Dellucci.

Without turning around to know who it is, Adonis face was still glued to the transparent window.

"Why are you here?" he asks coldly without repulse.

"I...I heard about Balboa's family matter," she sobs. "Why?" she runs and hugs his back.

Adonis face was quickly replaced with disgust. "Get your arms off me,"

"Brother Donnie, I am in love with you for many years,"

"Away...from me," he pushes her angrily.

"Brother Donnie, am I not good for you? Compare to that girl from the Balboa family, she's too young for you," she sobs lightly.

Adonis frown. "Nobody dares interfere with my personal matter, Agatha, you're no exception," he says coldly.

"In the future, don't ever come to my paint house again!"

"Wait... brother Donnie," she loses balance trying to touch Adonis and fell on the floor.

She sniffs. "Brother Donnie, Thought I can't compare with my elder sister, but why can't I compare with that shameless girl inside your paint house?"

I conceded defeat if compared to my sister, but the rural girl from Sicily wants to climb over my head? Never. She thought.

She saw that Adonis was not saying anything so she decided to act along. Still sitting on the floor she smirks and decided to cry.

"Brother Donnie, I... Sprained my ankle," she cries bitterly.

Adonis turn in shock and carried her up. "You..."

She looks deep into Adonis's eyes. "Brother Donnie, will I be like my sister?"

Adonis was silent for some minutes and carried her up.

"I will send you to the hospital immediatdiately!"
