Bab 23: Party planning
Valerie had never thought he liked men or was attracted to men. But after what he had done with Dracaryx the other day, he was sure without a doubt that he liked men.
Valerie thought about Dracaryx, he hadn't seen him since that day and he wasn't allowed out of the room, how exactly was he supposed to help Dante and the others if he didn't seen the vampires.
He shuddered at the thought of the vampires, he had refused to believe that vampires still existed until he had seen Dracaryx and the others.
The door to the room opened and Dracaryx walked in. Valerie immediately went on his knees.
Dracaryx walked up to him and patted his head. "Good boy." he praised him.
"Thank you master" he answered.
"Stand up" Dracaryx ordered him.
Valerie stood up obediently. Dracaryx patted his head fondly.
"did you miss me?" he asked.
"Yes i did."
"I enquired about what you said and it turned to be true."
Dracaryx looked at Valerie from head to toe.
"who would have thought that a weak human like you would be so impressive?" he asked.
Valerie bit his lip and kept quiet, he didn't know if he was supposed to say anything or not.
"So you are really here to plead on behalf of your family?" Dracaryx asked.
Valerie nodded.
"Did you know of the dangers of coming here?" Dracaryx asked him.
"Yes I did." Valerie replied.
"So why did you come despite you knowing the dangers?" Dracaryx asked.
"My family was on the brink of losing their livelihood. I had to do something."
"So little lamb if I kill you now, would it be justified?" Dracaryx asked, a smirk on his face.
Valerie looked at him bravely, "I was hoping that you would have mercy on me"
"Do you know why my family disappeared for so long?" Dracaryx asked him.
"No, not at all. I have no idea." Valerie replied.
"I will give you access to the library and you will research about it. That will be your homework. Deal?"
"Deal."
"You will escort me to dinner tonight. Dress up properly." Dracaryx told him and then he turned around and left the room.
....
Ava was in her room arranging her potted plants by the windows so they would get enough sunlight. Maria entered the room.
"when he said he was taking you out for shopping, I didn't expect it would be for plants." she told Camilla.
Camilla turned around, a smile on her face.
"I love plants too, I bet you didn't know that." she told Maria.
"You are right, I didn't know that. How are you feeling now?" she asked Camilla.
"Much better."
"Why didn't you let me know about the bullying?" she asked Camilla.
"I didn't want to come off as a whiny brat"
"Next time, tell me about anything that is wrong. I was so worried about you." Maria told her.
"Don't worry, I will."
"So what's happening with you and the Master?" Maria asked wiggling her eyebrows suspiciously.
"Nothing." Camilla said turning away.
"Hmm that's very suspicious." Maria told her.
"How do the plants look?" Camilla asked changing the subject quickly.
"it looks nice. But i do know you are changing the subject." Maria said, they looked at each other and then they burst into laughter.
...
Dante was in his study working when he heard a knock on the door, the door opened and Camilla entered.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked her.
"feeling better, can I sit down?" she asked him.
"Yes you can." he told her.
"So what brings you here?" he asked her.
"I wanted to thank you for buying the plants." she told him.
"You are welcome, it's actually nothing."
"I also wanted you to know that I am okay and ready to get back to work"
He looked at her, "and how did you come to that conclusion?"
"I am already fine" she whined to him.
"Fine, you can come back to work." he told her.
"So what is the plan, what are we doing?" Ava asked as she sat down.
"We are going to work, I will be hosting a meeting here in a few days time, a lot of families will be here, you will join Maria and the both of you will plan it, it's to be a party and then the meeting will happen after."
"So catering will be involved?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Will everyone be there, even Ferrante?" she asked.
"Yes even Ferrante. Why, are you afraid of him?" Dante asked her.
"No, you are here to protect me, I am just asking."
Camilla started planning for the party with Maria. She kept on thinking about how to make sure Silvana, Ferrante's wife would be at the party and how she would get the poison to her. She had already prepared it and just needed to deliver it to her.
"Camilla, are you alright? you seem lost." Maria asked her.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about things." Camilla said.
"Well, pull your head out of those thoughts and get it back in the game, the party is in two days time and everything needs to be ready." Maria told her. Camilla nodded in response.
Maria smiled at her, "I will be back, let me attend to the decorators. I am sure you can continue talking with the madame about the catering?"
"Yes" Camilla affirmed.
Maria left the room and left madame alone with Camilla.
"Camilla, are you okay?" the madame asked.
"Yes I am" she replied.
"are you sure? Because you look down. If there is anyway I can help, please let me know."
Camilla looked at her quizzically. "Are you sure you can help?" she asked her.
"Of course Camilla, I owe you a lot." the madame said.
"And whatever we discuss will be between us and Dante will hear nothing of it?" she asked the madame.
"Yes, as long as it's nothing that will harm the master."
"Not at all, this isn't harming the master in any way."
"So what is it?" the madame asked.
"Do you know Silvana, Ferrante's wife?" Camilla asked.
"Yes I know her, as a matter of fact, I am close to her head maid, she is my close friend."
"Really?" Camilla asked in excitement.
"Yes."
"She helped me when I ran into trouble at Ferrante's home. I want to give her a little gift, can you tell your friend to make sure she is at our party?"
"I don't know if that would be possible, she doesn't really go out much but I will call my friend and tell her to pass your message to Silvana." the madame said.
"Thank you madame." Camilla said with a smile.
They went back to discussing about the catering.
Camilla was in her room when she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." she answered.
Dante walked in.
"Hey." he said.
"Hi." she replied.
"I bought you something." he told her.
"Really, what is it?" she asked as she smiled in anticipation.
"Close your eyes." he told her.
She obeyed him and closed her eyes.
She felt him putting something on her neck.
"You may open your eyes now" he told her.
She opened her eyes and went to look at her mirror, it was a beautiful necklace.
"It's pretty." she told him.
"You make it look pretty." he told her. She blushed as she looked down.
He tilted her chin up and looked into her eyes. Then he kissed her. She kissed him back passionately.
He picked her up and took her to the bed. His hands pulled down the straps of her gown.
His greedy mouth found her beasts as he took a nipple into his mouth. She moaned aloud and gripped his hair tightly as she writhed against him in pleasure.
She could feel him getting hard against her and she wanted him badly.
"Cami, you feel so good." he whispered into her ear.
He was about to kiss her again when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" she asked as she looked at Dante in panic.
"It's Maria, why is your door locked?" Maria asked from outside the door.
Camilla looked at Dante in confusion, she didn't remember locking the door.
"I locked it." he whispered.
"Camilla?" Maria questioned.
"I am coming." she said.
"You have to leave now." she told Dante.
"How?"
"Maybe you can hide in the wardrobe and come out when it's safe" she told him.
"You do realize that I am the powerful head of a mafia family right?" he asked her.
"I do but I can't let Maria find you here, she might suspect that....." she trailed unsure of how to proceed.
"Suspect what?" he asked her. She found herself at a loss for words.
He stood up and walked to the door and opened it. Maria was dumbfounded to see that Dante was opening the door.
"Sir, sir, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"And who gave you the audacity to ask me such a question?" he asked her.
Maria's mouth immediately went shut. He rolled his eyes and walked away.
Maria entered the room and saw Camilla brushing her hair in front of the mirror.
"So what was he doing in the room?" she asked Camilla.
"Nothing, just discussing things about the party with him." Camilla replied.
"And what took you so long to open the door?" he asked her.
"He was still talking, look Maria stop disturbing me and go and ask your boss." Camilla told her.
Maria shook her head, "Okay, I won't ask any more. Come on we have more work to do." she told Camilla.
"Okay, let's go." Camilla told her.
The night of the party....
The party was going on in full swing, Camilla kept looking at the guests, Ferrante hadn't arrived yet. She kept hoping he would come and hopefully Silvana would come with him.
