Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 57: Talks of a claim - II

This time Marcello was already in class even before Evelyn had entered which had completely taken her by surprise.

"What’s up with you?" Evelyn chuckled at the grouchy man. "You look like you haven’t slept last night."

"I haven’t." He replied as he ran a hand over his tired and sunken eyes. The dark circles grew more prominent than the last time she had seen him.

Then he looked at her with tired eyes and a pouty face. "Would you do me a favour?"

"What?" Evelyn frowned.

He tsked, "so mama knows that I partied last night and the night before—well technically since she has been gone and now she will call you to check up on me if I am attending classes or not."

"Oh," Evelyn’s eyebrows shot up. She kept for books besides his seat and sat down on it. She hummed loudly as she said, "I don’t know why marcelo did not come to university today. This is so irresponsible on his part."

"Hey!" He snapped and waved his hand dramatically in the air. "I am right here!"

Evelyn hummed again and looked up, "uff, what will happen with this boy. How is he never going to pass his exams if he never shows up?"

"What do you want?" Marcello spat. "just tell me your price and don’t sell me out."

Evelyn giggled. It might be a good start.

"Why?" Salvatore askrd in his emotionless voice as Evelyn heard from outside the door. "Why should I allow it?"

Evelyn winced. He was just like his father if not worse.

"Because," Marcello said, "I think it’s time that you should go out and enjoy her self. The day she is out for protection she has to live on her own. Don’t you think she should learn how to do it now?"

Evelyn licked her lips as she heard the muffled words of what Marcello was saying to his brother. She really hoped that he would stick to the words that she had asked him to say.

"I think she can learn them whenever she wants to. However, she does not need to do that with you."

As expected. Salvatore would not directly say no but he would not agree to it either.

Marcello chuckled. "If it was Bella Rosa then I could have said the same as you but its Evelyn. It would take her a decade or two to learn how to have fun on her own."

That was not something that she had scripted for him to say in front of his brother. That bitch!

Salvatore did not reply and that only made Evelyn more embarrassed than before. Was he agreeing to it silently?

"I don’t know Marcello,"

"What do you mean?" Marshall asked him in return which was exactly what Evelyn wanted to know. What did that mean? "If you mean that you only in charge of her because dad is gone, you can always call and ask him."

"It is not that." Came the reply of the Don immediately. "I don’t want to send her out."

Evelyn pressed her ear on the door even more as she frowned at what he said. Was she hearing it wrong or had he really said that he did not want to send her out?

Did she have some kind of threat looming around her that she was not aware of? Evelyn knew that she was a free game and everyone wanted to have the relations with alessandro family especially when she was in the protection of them so she was like a target for everyone.

She was like a pearl necklace that everyone wanted to have.

"Okay you have to be more specific than that Salvi," she heard a small thud but disregarded not understanding what it was for, "is there some kind of thread made on her? Did father tell you do that?"

"I don’t want her to go out and dance amongst men that I do not know." Evelyn flinched at the harsh snap. "I am not letting her go out in a bunch of men that one nothing but a piece of her."

At the moment Evelyn would do anything to get a visual of what was happening inside the room. Apparently hearing things was just not enough! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Salvatore I hope you understand what you are talking like. If it was not me but anyone else it would have seemed like—"

"—Like I am making a claim."

Evelyn gasped and stepped away. Shit.

Claim?

That was Dangerous.

Evelyn gulped. She could not really believes the fact that. . Wasn’t her ears ringing? She could feel sweat building upon her skin. She patted her face to bring herself back in focus.

In panic, after hearing those words out of Salvatore’s mouth Evelyn has stepped back from the door in a hurry.

Making a claim on someone was never a good especially when it involved organisations as big as these and when it was the people in the top-tier.

Slowly she took a step closer and once again pressed her ear against the door. Ever and focus on what she was trying to hear but there was no noise coming from inside. Why were they quiet?

"I hope you decide soon." Marcello said and she had every word clearly. "You don’t want to put her in a situation where she can’t choose."

Evelyn closed her eyes. What was he doing? Where had the conversation gone from having her move out of the house anytime she wanted to having her being dumped into the lap of Salvatore?!

It was after sometime that Salvatore spoke up, "I will decide what I have to do." He said.

Then what was on her side to decide? Because she should be given an equal chance especially when she was in the protection of his father but that only made her allies would Angelo actually protect her when it came to his son?

Evelyn pulled away from the door and stood straight. There was not think she wanted to hear anymore.
