Chapter 27: It meant nothing
"Do you know how it felt to see ninety nine percent family die?" Dracaryx asked him.
"No Master"
"my elder brother burned to ashes in that fire, my uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews all died in that fire, I and the rest only escaped because we went away on a business trip. We came back to discover that our families were gone, our business had been taken over by the alliance, we had to leave town but I vowed that we would be back for revenge. Why did you come here? Surely, you knew that you were walking into the lion's den?" Dracaryx asked Valerie.
"I had no idea, the research I made only said that the family disappeared suddenly, it said nothing about the betrayal or the fire" Valerie replied, if he had known any of this, he would have told Dante to pack up everything so they could flee. This people were dangerous and they were blood thirsty for revenge.
Dracaryx stood up and tilted Valerie's cheek to look at him. "I guess the revenge will start from you, my smart boy" he whispered.
6.
"What do you mean?" Valerie asked in confusion.
"I need information about you all, your mafia families and your little alliance, you are going to give me that information and you won't lie to me because I will find out and I will kill you, in addition to that, I will use your body any how I like until I am bored" Dracaryx told him.
"I won't tell you anything, I can't tell you anything" Valerie replied.
A slap landed on his face, Dracaryx had hit him.
"when I talk, you are supposed to listen and agree, the next time you disagree with me, I won't be this lenient on you" Dracaryx told him and then he patted Valerie's cheek and left the room.
"I won't tell you anything, I can't tell you anything" Valerie replied.

Camilla settled down in her bed, she was finally in her room, she had stayed with Dante for two days before he finally repaired her door and allowed her to go back.
Her cat sauntered to the bed and snuggled against her, she rubbed its soft fur as she thought about her current situation.
She was very attracted to Dante, that was for sure, she wanted to sleep with him, that was also confirmed but did she want to fall in love with him?
No! She immediately chided herself, Dante was a bad option for her, besides he didn't do love, he was a mafia head, he had no time for love, she was sure of that.
But could she sleep with him without falling for him? She asked herself. Camilla decided that she needed another opinion about this matter, she couldn't ask Maria, that was out of the question, Maria would immediately suspect that something was going on with Dante.
She decided to go ask the madame, after all, the madame would keep her secret.
She got up from the bed and went downstairs.

She got up from the bed and went downstairs.
Madame was busy in the kitchen when Camilla walked in.
"Are you busy?" Camilla asked.
"Well is there anything you want, I can send someone to do it for you?" the madame asked.
"I need your advice on something" Camilla told her.
"OK, what is it?" she asked.
"Can someone have sex with another person without falling in love?" Camilla asked.
The madame looked at her quizzically, "why do you ask Camilla?" she asked.
"Well, I was just curious about it" Camilla told her.
The madame was sceptical but still decided to answer her nevertheless.
"Well it's different for everyone, if you have sex, that is you treat it as a means to get pleasure then there is a guarantee that you won't fall in love, but if you treat it as a means of showing affection or love then yes, there is every guarantee that you will fall in love" Madame told her.
"Thanks madame that was really insightful" Camilla thanked her.
"But why are you asking these questions?" Madame asked.
"oh nothing, no reason in particular" Camilla replied.
"it won't have anything to do with you sleeping with Mr Dante right?" the madame asked.
"i am not sleeping with him" Camilla denied vehemently, her cheek stained with red.
"Tut Tut, I just caught you red handed, Camilla, your cheeks are very red" the madame said.
"I don't know what you are talking about" Camilla said as she glanced away.
"Madame, I am not trying to be rude but it's normal if you and the master are sleeping with each other but I will urge you to be careful and not fall deeply for him. In all the years I have worked here, the master has had several mistresses and a lot of them have tried to get him to fall in love with them but they have all failed, I would advise you to be careful" the madame told her.
"Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it" Camilla replied.
She went back to her room, on her way she bumped into Geremia.
"here you are, I was just coming back from your room, you weren't there"
"i went to the kitchen to get something to eat, why were you looking for me?" she asked him.
"Dante needs you to accompany him to a meeting so he sent me to tell you to dress up and meet him at his office"
"What kind of meeting? where is it?" Camilla asked.
"The meeting will be held at Paolo's home, it's like one of those meetings you went to at Ferrante's house" Geremia told her.
"OK, well tell him I will be there soon" she told him.
She was about to leave when he held her back, "Can I accompany you to your room, I want to talk to you about something" he told her.
"Sure"
They walked to her room together. "so what do you want to talk to me about?" she asked him.
"It's about that girl Carolina, I think she is behind what happened at the party. some of my men saw her talking with Vanna earlier before the incidence happened" Giovanni told her.
"I am not surprised, she is just as despicable as her father" Camilla replied.
"i even warned her to stay away from causing trouble for you but it seems she didn't listen"
"She has always been envious and bitter, she won't stay away from a chance to humiliate me" Camilla told Geremia.
"Well if she ever does something like that to you ever again, I will make sure she regrets it" Geremia told her.
Camilla looked at him surprisingly, "why are you helping me?" she asked.
"I hate seeing people I care about being bullied"
"you care about me?" Camilla asked.
"of course I do, now go in and dress up little pet" he told her as he patted her head and walked away.
Camilla entered her room, a shocked expression on her face, Geremia cared about her? that was a good surprise.
She dressed up quickly and went to meet Dante.
"Finally, you are here, let's go" Dante told her.
"Why is this meeting not on schedule?" Camilla asked him.
"It's an emergency meeting, let's go" he told her as he grabbed her hand and led her to the waiting car where the security detail were already waiting.
Camilla's hand tingled where he had grabbed her, she willed herself not to think about it, it was nothing, it meant nothing.
