Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 97: A brother’s wrath - III

It had been said in slight disbelief when Evelyn heard the don actually was concerned about what her vulture of a relative was up to.

Luigi, like many others in her family, was after the wealth that she had in her name. If anything, they might have actually gotten her married to her third or fourth cousin just so they pawn off the money from her.

"Just a little surprised. That’s all." Evelyn revealed to him without thinking much of it. "Your father must have told you about the situation where he found me. That was my father’s house and they did not hold back from slapping me, Don. I’m just surprised that we are showing some kind of . . Response to the false care he talks of."

Evelyn anxiously waited for a response from him.

"You called me Don, Evelyn, when I specifically asked you to call me Salvatore."

The hell? Her eyes bulged out at what he said.

"Uh . . . Excuse me, Salvatore," she tried to cover up the slipper that he was obviously very much aware of. "It would not happen again." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"You should get ready for dinner at your relatives house." Everyone had some kind of overlap on the phone from his side. "Evelyn, I have to cut it short. I want you ready by 7: 30."

"Oka—" the long beep cut her off and Evelyn knew that he had Hung up before she could say bye.

Well then, she sighed as she placed her phone on the table, she had to get ready for dinner tonight.

*****

Evelyn did not try to dress up for tonight’s dinner. What she wore for tonight was a simple bodycon dress, maroon in colour that came down to her knees. Golden earrings, circular in shape, one small and one large looked very graceful and complimented the shape of face while dangling on her ears. She had pulled back her golden hair into a ponytail that gave her a sleek look.

For makeup, Evelyn did not do much. She did conceal the dark circles under eyes. They were very small but she knew her aunt would not wait to catch on to them. She applied a little bit of lipstick which she knew she would have to touch up by the end of the dinner.

She was ready when it was fifteen minutes past seven and now she waited for Salvatore in the living room.

"Would you like to have something before you leave, madam?" Marco swiftly appeared near her and Evelyn had somewhat gotten used to his quietness.

She nodded her head. "If you could cut me some fruit."

Marco nodded and left her alone for some time before he returned with a bowl of which. Evelyn thanked him before taking it from him.

Even though she wanted to deny the offer of having something before going to dinner Evelyn knew that her aunt was really modest in serving food to women. She did not want to start when she came back, So she might as well be prepared.

By the time she was done it was exactly thirty minutes past seven which method it was the time for Salvatore to arrive.

Had he changed his mind or was she to go alone?

"Madam," Marco appeared in front of her and stopped at the coffee table, "sir has asked you to come down stairs. He is waiting in the car for you."

Evelyn gave him a quick not before holding her clutch and walking to the left. Marco had held the left open for her and he had also pressed the button to the ground floor.

By the time Evelyn reached downstairs, Julian held the car door open for her. Salvatore had taken out the Rolls-Royce for today and by god, the car lived up to its name.

"Hello you," Salvatore leaned over and pressed his lips to her cheek giving her soft kiss before pulling away with a smile on his face.

Evelyn gave one back to him. A smile, not the kiss.

She then turned her attention to the car. The interior did not just look like any regular car. It was luxurious, more luxurious than she had never been. Now with the money in her bank account, Evelyn thought of buying a rolls Royce for herself.

"If I knew the car would hold your attention more than me, I would have never brought about." A small pinch came to her cheek and remained there as Salvatore turned her face to him.

With a raised brow he continued, "mind paying me some attention as well, Ms Bianchi?"

She chuckled before pointing to his hand on her cheek that was still pinching lit. "You know, now it’s beginning to hurt a little bit."

"Good," he did not bother to leave her cheek alone, "it should because you were not paying any attention."

Evelyn could not help but give a hearty laugh at that. "I was not aware that the don is a big baby." She was with the words with a huge smile on her face, still mindful of the fact that there was a driver sitting in front of them separated by the small partition.

Salvatore increased his grip a little bit making evelyne yelp.

"Hey!" She squealed in protest before taking his hand of a cheek which he allowed her to do. "Why would you do that?"

He did not say anything but rubbed her cheek the same one that he had pinched, lovingly. He leveled her eyes with tears by gently tilting her head up until she looked at him. "Pay attention to me, Evelyn. I do not like when your mind is elsewhere."

Salvatore did not looked like he was joking. There was known side of his lip tilting upwards into a smirk that she could tell that he was joking.

She nodded. "I would be Mindful of that, Do—Salvatore."

Caressing her cheek one more time, he gave her nod and looked away but not before holding her hand. Evelyn glanced at their joined hands and entangled fingers.

Salvatore was always going to make sure of what he wanted in this relationship first and after a week, she realised that.
