===== Chapter 17 [ Part 4 ] =====

And just like what your blonde haired friend has predicted, Dante is going to be suspended —For three days this time since this is his second time making a commotion. It's not even a month since he broke the school rules.

Right now he is inside Mrs. Nickolaise's office while he's being lectured for his irresponsible actions. His oceanic – blue eyes rest on the table, but it's not a sign of regret. It's more for respect, especially when Damiano is right inside with them. The guy doesn't want to be killed just because he looked at her.

"You know what this means right?" Eliza sighs and gives Dante the paper she just signed. "For three days, you are suspended. Give this to your teacher, and let them know." Dante accepts the paper without any complaints. Silence only remains the room. The woman can only send him a pitiful look, but his actions are inexcusable. She wants to ask why he did that, but his husband is here. He does not really like it when she talks to other people.

Soon, Dante leaves.

The woman breaths out a soft sighs. Later, she feels his arms gently wrap around her shoulder. "Queen, he isn't bothering you?" His voice holds a tone of darkness and possessiveness, causing her to smile a little. "No. Don't worry, dear. He is not."

She places her hands over his as she savors the moment she's currently having with her cold husband. "The boy must be probably having a difficult time adjusting to the environment since he is used to violence and all." Eliza looks up at him with a fawning expression on her pretty face. "Like you, my dear."

Damiano's face is blank.

"I can control myself," he murmurs; and Eliza laughs at those words. She stands up while she takes his hand off from her shoulder. "You're such a liar," she retorts back. Though she still presses her lips on her husband's cheek, delivering a kiss filled with love. Damiano's face slowly turns into some shade. With the fire being ignited inside him by her, Damiano grabs his wife's face and responds back fiercely with kisses.



Wednesday; Thursday; Friday

Everything has been going peaceful these past few days. Peaceful but kind of strange (?) Since Dante got a three–days suspension, you were not unfortunately given some time to talk to him and give him your gratitude. Well, on Thursday... you did come to their house; but your friend refused to meet you. He was still angry, but you have no idea why.

It must be because you stopped him from beating Luis to death. But seriously, that's a shallow reason. Anyways— you might not be able to say him your gratitude directly, but you were able to through online. You are just unsure whether he'll be able to see that or not. Gently brushing down your (H/C) locks, you look at the mirror. Okay.. it looks okay.

Deciding that you look normal and proper enough, you grab your bag and rush to the dining area. You see your father who's holding a sandwich. "Here," he says while giving you your breakfast. You smile at him and take it. Biting on the sandwich, you take a seat. Taking a quick look on your silver wrist watch, you know that you still have a lot of time.

Chew. Chew. Chew.

You hear a cough.

Swallowing the tiny pieces in your mouth, you give the attention to your father who seems somehow awkward. "How's school?" he asks, starting a conversation. Your brows furrow, and you tell him "fine."

You sounded a bit uninterested, and your poor father gets even more awkward. A cough leaves his lips, but he still cannot help but proceed to talk. Your father wants to ask you about something; but at the same time, he does not..

Yesterday, at lunch, he ate with his co-workers.

They were talking about their children. Of course!! Your dad joined in too. He was very happy to talk about you.. about how you are his sweet, obedient daughter and all..

Then the topic somehow changed.

They were talking about their children and their lovers..  Daniel, at that moment, was so very uncomfortable. He could only listen while his co- workers were arrogantly flaunting their future in-laws.

"Hey, how about your daughter (Y/N)?! Has she caught any fish?!" They laughed, but he wasn't laughing. Your father was only furious. He didn't think that you're that ready to leave him yet and replace him with some other man. "She has me," he told them, glaring. "She doesn't need any men when she still has me..." It was clear that Daniel wasn't happy with their words; they finally shut their mouths up.

Your father sighs as he looks at you. The sadness in his heart remains. He feels uneasy. His beloved daughter's already old enough to find a boyfriend, but he does not want her to find one. They will probably just break her heart; the boys in this generation are all animals... Your father has seen enough boys and the shit they're doing. They are not boyfriend materials. They're someone he needs to protect you from at.

A heavy sigh leaves his lips again. He looks at you with some expression filled with determination. That catches your attention, and you also notice the look on his face.. You feel suddenly concerned. "Dad?"

"You're not keeping any men from your dad, are you??" Daniel randomly asks, causing your cheeks to flush red. What the fuck?! You stare at him, wide-eyed. Then you shake your head..despite a certain image floating inside your mind. You guys both certainly like each other in a more-than-friendly way, but that's just it. So no — you don't have a boyfriend, and is Kielle someone you are keeping from Dad?

"Dad, if I ever have a boyfriend— I will immediately inform it to you," you stutter.

You dad isn't pleased. "No, you won't have a boyfriend while I'm here. They're all animals. And right after that Ashes incident, I was only more convinced to keep you away from those beasts."

You drink from your glass of water, so in disbelief from what you're hearing. What a random conversation! And why is Dad acting like this again? "Geez, dad." You roll your eyes, not wanting to proceed with this talk. Father.. and his over-protective nature.. It won't be long enough, and you'll find someone else.. He needs to stop whining about these things that will happen in the distant ( more like near) future.

"I'm serious here," Dad says, crossing his arms.

"Sure, Dad. Sure—"

You nod your head, not really taking his words seriously. Finishing your breakfast, you take your mug and wash it yourself. The doorbell suddenly rings.You gently put the mug down the sink and is about to answer that when that father of yours stops you.

"I'll do it," he says.

You nod and proceed to wash your mug, completely not aware of what's about to happen. Your dad slowly twists the knob open; and what he sees makes makes him very angry. The favorite flowers of his child suddenly covers half of his face; he almost sneezes at the fragrant.. Your father is very angry at the sudden sight; he pushes those flowers and glares at the man.

"What the fuck is this?!"

There, right there in front of him, is a man. He is quite good-looking... Daniel squints his eyes. Somehow he has seen this guy before, but where? The person's cheeks are a bit red. He quickly picks the bouquet of flowers up, hugging it close to his chest.

"I— Is (Y/N) there?"

The poor kid nervously stammers.
