28 - Consumed by Her

Hearing the ding indicating a notification from her phone, Teresa huffed, not bothering to open her eyes as she reached over, feeling for her phone. Finally grabbing it, she opened her eyes to see a text from Ricco.

I hope to hear your voice soon.

She huffed, throwing the phone down, knowing she's not supposed to talk to him. Remembering, she got up, rubbed her eyes and grabbed the gun, walked into the bathroom and threw it in the tub and turned the water on.

Walking out the room, she realized just how quiet it was. She saw it was only 12 in the afternoon. Usually Adriano would have woken her up and she didn't hear Luciano's typing like normal on the laptop.

Her eyebrows furrowed and she opened the door, halting when she saw 4 men standing in front of it.

Their backs were turned, laughing and talking, except for one who was sitting in a chair, facing her and he found her eyes and nudged his head towards her, the others turning to see her. She was grateful she had on shorts, but hopefully Luciano wouldn't care if she wore a bra and no shirt. They wouldn't look at her in any other way than appropriate anyway.

"Um... Why are you here?"

"Don's orders" The man sitting down in the chair said. She noticed he kept his eyes solely on her face and she caught a glimpse of the wedding band on his finger, the reason why.

"Why?"

He chuckled, ignoring her and they all returned to their normal conversations.

Rude.

She took a step out and he finally stood up and the rest turned.

"Can't leave your room Teresa " He said, not knowing they all knew her name. She stepped back, "But I'm hungry..."

"Okay, I will have them fix what you want." She could tell he was trying to be nice, but she didn't like being held in her room. She turned around, slamming her door and picked up her phone.

Luciano felt everything, every bad thing he could feel that would result in someone intentionally getting killed. The audacity of Don Garza to send him a shipment of humans to be trafficked. He said before he didn't approve of the activity, and furthermore he was hesitant to ally with someone who did it. Though Ana convinced him and he did. "Are you ready?" Ana asked and he nodded his head.

Only to groan annoyed when Adriano's phone rang and he answered it. "I know what you're going to say, and I can't explain right now" Luciano heard and he could tell Adriano was nervous. Whoever he was talking to must have him on a leash.

"Teresa I have to go" Then Luciano's eyebrows lifted hearing her name. Adriano hung up, apologizing. Luciano didn't care and nodded, Adriano opening the door. Then Luciano's phone rang causing him to chuckle knowing it was her.

"Go on" Adriano nodded, closing the door and he answered it.

"What the hell?!" She screamed causing him to pull the phone away. He cleared his throat, "Is that anyway to talk to me Tesoro?"

"Why are you banning me to my room?" She questioned.

"Because you tend to not follow rules" He chuckled, though she didn't find it funny.

"Where are you?" He stepped out the car, shaking his head as he said, "None of your concern"

"Okay then tell your men to move"

"I am doing something very important, Tesoro. I have no time for your complaints"

"And we're back to that" He heard the slapping of her thigh and his eyebrows raised confused as he asked, "Back to what?"
