NEMESIS

mad woman

“Sir, they have returned this morning.” off to a good start for her today — they were back, his uncle and the snake woman had returned from Switzerland after almost a month of their f*****g honeymoon. “Master Mason has arrived at his residence in The Orphic, as well as our Consigliere — she's having an impromptu meeting with the higher—ups and I think your presence is expected this evening.”

If this meeting is held a few hours after she landed, doesn't that mean it's quite urgent and a little worrying?

“What will she discuss?”

“Rogue Mafia and the mystery of their leader — including who is funding them, besides Neo Cosa Nostra.”

It's always been about them, and now he's getting bored.

“Doesn't that woman have a way to wipe them all off quickly?”

He smirked, “I don't think so, Paolo is a guy and he can't even handle that matter — he's even gravely injured after last night trying to block them all, in case you forgot.”

Ah, he forgot that Paolo had failed to protect their territory – such a failure.

“But we can't underestimate her. Miss Giuliana managed to eliminate half of the Rogue Mafia — admittedly, she's pretty good and Darcio has good eyes for picking her.”

If Giuliana succeeds and is credited with what she did, then credit goes to the Darcio family as well. It was disgusting, especially since he had heard it not once or twice — he had heard it countless times.

“Then you must stop it, make her fail and let everyone see that she is not that good — failed so badly that it made her want to die. Make her so useless until she wants to bury herself six feet under.”

Her reputation was so perfect and there wasn’t a single flaw nor weakness except her background and, other than that, nothing. Thus, he had to arrange it — making her, who didn't have the slightest weakness, lose in an unexpected way until she was crushed, completely.

.

“Ah, so this was the gold digger that everyone talked about.”

Giuliana walked out the meeting room with the documents she carried in her hands, her clothes so immaculate and absolutely stunning — her long shiny hair moved with the movements of her feet and her face looked very bright, as if she was happy.

Of course she's happy, she's drained his uncle's money — she's in a good mood.

She, on the other hand, just rolled her eyes as she saw him — she didn’t say anything and just walking in front of him, passed him by and completely ignored his existence. The f**k does this b***h do?

“Is my uncle's money that good?”

“Yeah, so good that I started to feel like living in a dream.” she turned to him while tossing her long hair back elegantly, a sweet smile etched there and it angered him even more. “Are you his mistress or what?”

“Oh, trust me Theo — I’m more than you think.”

“You talk too highly of yourself, you'll never get a high position like Mrs. Lorelai — you'll still be the mistress she needs to warm his bed.”

The distance they stood was neither too close nor too far, so that each of them was able to see their faces and expressions well. So when Giuliana lowered her red eyes and raised them again to scan him, it was very obvious and made her very offended.

“You're weird—”

“You look a mess, did I’m the one who going out with your uncle scare you?” she said with a cynical chuckle. “You're afraid your uncle put me first before you, afraid that I'll be his favorite so you'll be eliminated — even though you already know that Mason is already like that.”

He knows he favored her so much.

But goddamnit, she said it straight in front of his face and just how bold she was, thinking he would stay still and wouldn't do anything about that. This side of her is so sexy, it's a shame that she's actually his nemesis.

“Careful, Giuliana — Lorelai's men don't melt easily just like that.” he smiled, his eyes shone dangerously and held so much hate for her “Especially for you who didn't make any effort to make him melt under your feet.”

What he saw next were two dimmed red eyes and she even pressed her lips slightly — is she sad to know this fact?

But then, “I know, Lorelai and trust me, I also don't give up easily even if your uncle gives me something that there is only one in the whole world.” she giggled prettily, “Even if your uncle gave me the moon, I can say I didn't ask for it.”

Oh, silly him. Of course, a heartless woman like her wouldn’t even think about others' feelings. So, what can be expected from her?

“Such a heartless woman.”

Giuliana smiled sweetly, she took a few steps forward until she was an inch in front of him — she looked up to look at him who was taller than her, and he gulped unconsciously when he realized that she was looking at him seductively.

Up close, he could clearly see that Giuliana had flawless skin, her lips looked plump and inviting for a kiss, and her eyes were dark red with long, dazzling lashes — that both eyes he had always thought of as scary, but in fact, when looked closely at both of them, those eyes were very mesmerizing and alluring.

“I call it smart to use a bit of my heart, and the rest I use my head, Theo.”

He flinched, then placed one hand on her neck and gripped it tightly — making her look up slightly, exposing her neck and a small part of her chest which was wrapped in a v—collared shirt.

“Ah, such a smart mouth you have, Giuliana — I think I can put it to good use.” He chuckled evilly, “Or you could go to hell.”

And it seems, she is not a Darcio Princess — she is their mad woman, “You can dream on and oh, Theo — I have been in a place that is worse than hell.”
