Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 116: No more a party- IV
The hand where she saw that don’s second ring might be was now on her thigh safely tucked away from the eyes of the world. She’s not going to risk any of his family members seeing it and that meant especially Angelo. If he saw that, he would certainly have them both married by the end of the night.
Eating with one hand was not as complex as one rumoured to be. She did it very effortlessly.
None of them bother Evelyn anymore and by the end of the dinner she was actually smiling and laughing at the jokes that the siblings cracked with each other.
Evelyn laughed as Bella continued to humiliate her brother. ". .and believe me when I say that mum was not available, she was not at all available and Marcello kept on crying which I could not bear, so, at the end of my website open his diaper and there it was," Bella gagged, "the stinkiest diaper I had ever seen and . . . smelled. That shit was plain nasty. I have no idea how he could even put that much out."
Evelyn laughed loudly at that. From the corner of her eyes, she could even see Angelo nuzzling in his wife’s shoulder to hide his smile as his shoulder shook silently.
"Can you stop telling it every time at a family dinner?" Marcello grumbled out the words. "I am tired of it being told that every dinner."
"Why?" Bella teased. " You and your stinky shit make the perfect piece of conversation for anyone."
Evelyn cackled at that being no longer to contain her laughter inside. She covered her mouth with her hand.
"Hey!" Marcelo raised his voice slightly but evidently not paying attention. He was probably raising his voice against bullying sister. "Evelyn is wearing Salvatore’s ring!’
Evelyn froze and the laughter died down immediately. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Her eyes remained at the table in front of her but Evelyn was very well aware that everyone was looking at her much rather her left hand that she involuntarily clenched on top of her thigh.
Shit.
There was no purpose of taking her hand away and hiding it. They had already seen what they wanted to see.
"It looks beautiful on her," Salvatore’s broke The silence and the tense atmosphere of the room. "Does it not?"
"It really does." Alexis smiled at her child and then though Evelyn even though she could detect this slight hint of sadness in the elder woman’s eyes evident in not comment on it neither did she choose to dwell.
"It is not the question of the beauty of it." Angela commented and his eyes moved to his son. "Are you sure about this? If that ring comes off tonight, there is still a chance for reconsideration."
Reconsideration? Evelyn turned to look at Salvatore who stared back at his father.
If there was no chance of even slightly consideration on his power than I ever Ellen wanted him to do that. She did not even remember when he har slipped it on her finger and it was probably the time when they were inside her room.
Most probably because there was a time when evelyn remembered not wearing anything on her fingers. It was after the time they spend in her room that she had noticed she suddenly had a ring.
"I am."
Angelo’s eyes turned to the woman sitting beside his son. "Evelyn, do you want this to happen?"
Think she had never expected was for the don to ask if you wanted this or not. However since he had, ever done was not going to deny the opportunity.
However, she glanced at the ring in her hand. Should have the ball in her court, didn’t she?
"I am." She told her answer firmly to Angela who once again addressed his son.
"When you should probably get married right away." Angelo sat taking Evelyn by complete surprise. "I am supposed to keep her in my protection until she could find someone to get married to. She could have continued to stay in my protection had she fell in love with someone who could not have provided however that. Since you have practically proposed to her, it makes sense that she is out of my protection and into yours."
Wait, what?!
Where did that come from!
"Wha. .what?" Evelyn mumbled and looked at Angelo. "But my dad has me in your protection. You promised that to him."
"He does." Angelo agreed. "With this turn of events, I’m actually killing two birds with one stone. You shift from my protection to my son’s practically remaining in the family and there is also a factor to be considered, you were only in my production until you got married into another family both of which are applicable at the moment."
What she had weighed in on earlier as a new option available to her level in realised that this was much more serious than she had earlier predicted to be.
Being the donna was powerful enough it would put her on the top of the food chain which meant that I will and would no longer required the protection of anyone except from the don itself. Other than that she was the second most powerful person and the untouchable for everyone.
From barely surviving she was going to go to the top of the food chain but it also came with a lot of risks.
She glanced at Salvatore who looked back at her with no expressions over his face. He gave her the standard look which made a winning realise that he was waiting for his own standard face without having his opinions being forced on her.
It was the dream of every woman born in the size and Evelyn did not have a father to backup. And you would remain there for a certain amount of time after which she was going to be pushed away. This was the perfect opportunity for her to rise ahead.
Her phone vibrated and Evelyn pulled it out of her pocket instant before realising that they were people in the room.
She muted it before looking at everyone, "Pick it up." Alexis spoke up. "It was important if it is at this time of the night."
Evelyn look at Angelo who nodded agreeing with his wife.
"Please excuse me," she whispered to Salvatore before standing up and walking away.
Not go far into the house but rather just entered behind the staircase where she knew that no one would be able to hear her.
It was her mother and desperate times as villain pick up her call.
"Hello?"
"Evelyn," Erika Bianchi’s voice came from the cellular device, "don’t ask me how I know but you have to say yes."
Evelyn’s eyes narrowed, "yes to what?"
Erika chuckled and it surprised Evelyn. "I know what’s going on with you at the moment. The best option you have is right in front of you. Say yes, Evelyn, say yes."
Evelyn tried to control heavy breathing. "Why?" She whispered out. Who was he trying to ask the reason for every try to wonder about it. Who was she trying to convince herselves by asking for a reason? Could she really do something so selfish?
"You do not need to know the reason Evelyn. The reason is applicable worldwide. Everyone gets attracted to power and that is right beside you, so grab it!" Erika deepened her voice. "Your father is no longer there to take care of you which means you have to climb up the surgeon because there is no one else holding your hand. Do it."
Evelyn hands felt clammy. Her heart beat it so loudly in her chest that she wondered if it was going to jump out if it will stop she could actually see it inside her throat. How had come up there?
What’s the stepmother right question mark was the power right beside her and she actually make a move to grab it? Erika was right when she said that her father was no longer there which meant that Evelyn had to take care of yourself.
"I Don’t think that I can do it.’ She admitted in a small whisper. "I don’t think I can do it all—"
"No!" Erika whispered Harshly. "Don’t try to be a soft hearted fool! Do you think people like you survive in this harsh world? You don’t even get eaten by people, Evelyn. They discard you completely!"
Evelyn gulped. Why did it all have to be so difficult? She closed her eyes and felt the tears fall onto her cheeks. Why? Why? Why?
"Just do me a favour Evely," Erika sighed tiredly, "when I tell you what to do, you will do exactly what I said. You will faint and that would be enough for them to bring you to a room and let you spend the night to yourself. It would be enough for me to explain to you what you have to do. Can you do it?"
Could she?
