《Her Five Protectors》SEVENTEEN
Advertisement
Stephan Riccardo made it look obvious that he didn't cared about his sister's cries. Aurora angrily ruined the décor of the her room and spat out every curse. She kept throwing tantrum looking outraged.
"I hate you Stephan!" She screams at her brother.
"I don't care what you feel for me. Make sure that you clean up this whole mess or no food for you tonight." Aurora shakes her head stubbornly. She would never. Just like Ariana, she is a spoiled brat of 'Riccardo' family. She is raised up feeding on the silver spoon. Her doing a work like a maid would look entirely humiliating in such case.
"So then forget about the food forever not until you clean this shit up. Also make sure that you pack everything. I am sending you back to France...." Aurora slumps down on the floor and pull her knees to her chest crying. Angelo was the only one who ever showed affection to her but Stephan was completely opposite of him. Aurora hated her own brother more than she can ever imagine.
Stephan Riccardo still doesn't care. He slammed shut the door of her room leaving her to get herself together.
On the other hand, Athena is trying to memorize her ways around the mansion. She plans on getting out of here soon and for that she needs to get familiar to this place. It isn't going to be easy but Athena do believe in herself.
Next weekend morning, Athena comes out of the room, she is keep feeling this weird pain in her stomach from since the early hours of morning. She couldn't even sleep good yesterday night due to this. This pain isn't helping her anxiety a bit. While descending down the stairs, her eyes meet Luciano's back. He is standing in the middle of the staircase and talking to someone on the phone.

Almost like feeling her presence behind him, he tilts his head back to look at the young girl. He gives her a small smile but it takes only second for his expression to change as he notices a sullen look on her face.
"Are you ok?" He asks her while abruptly hanging up the call and touches her forehand to check her temperature. Not surprisingly, she is a little warm.
Luciano grabs her small hand in his and leads her direct to the dining hall without a word. His brothers are already present there. The oldest Vincenzo too. Athena quickly glances away from him before her eyes could make contact with his.
Luciano pushes Athena on the chair and calls the maid. He tells her to bring some food for Ahena but she shakes her head refusing. Suddenly the pain and discomfort in her stomach has grown a bit.
Athena refuses to eat anything and just lay her cheek on top of the cold surface of the table. Luciano gently runs his fingers along on her scalp, making her feel a little relaxed and soothing her nerves a bit. Within few seconds, Athena is out like light.
"Is she ok?" Romeo asks by furrowing his eyebrows.
"A little warm but nothing looks serious. Maybe she is just tired. Many things have happened yesterday. That girl Aurora almost tried to kill her. I think Athena just need some time. Let her rest for a bit." Luciano suggests back in a worried tone.
Vincenzo simply nods his head and others also silently agreed. Luciano carefully picks her up in his arms and take her back to her room. Supposedly Ariana's room.
14 hours, 14 hours rolled on with the blink of eye but Athena still look in deep sleep. Tonight only Vittorio is present at the mansion. He was also planning on going to this party but Vincenzo ordered him to stay here with Athena.

It is like time of midnight, when Athena's eyes flutter opens. She tiredly whines feeling painful gut wrenching cramps in her stomach. It immediately gets Vittorio's attention who is laying on couch of her room and texting someone on the phone.
He settles his phone down on the table and makes his way over to her bed. Athena looks up in his eyes. There are tears present in her own.
"Are you ok?" He asks her and places his hand on her forehead. Again a little warm but nothing big. Athena just silently nods her head a little while trying to ignore the pain.
"Go and freshen up a little. I will call someone to arrange your dinner." Athena again nods her head at his words. Vittorio skids out of her room.
Feeling none strength in her, Athena tiredly sits up on the bed and finally gathers some courage to get out of the bed. She shivers a bit at the feeling of the cold freezing floor making contact with her feet.
Her eyes suddenly makes contact with the uncovered bedsheets and her eyes widened in horror. Her hands starts to tremble in fear as she looks down at the blood staining the sheets. There is just too much blood and the sight is making her stomach churn even more.
