ace of diamonds
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*walks inside and straight to the dining room*
The guards saluted her as she walked past.
The dining room table was long and laid with dishes. Everyone else was already there.
Valencia's father sat on the head seat at the end, her mother and eldest brother adjacent to him. Next to her eldest brother, sat his wife and then his son.
On the other side of her mom were her two other brothers, one with his fiancée next to him.
(pic at end if u can't visualize it)
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*walks in and sits next to her nephew*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*gasps, appalled* Valencia! What state have you come here in?
ALESSANDRO MARANZANO︱FL's oldest brother
Sister, do you have no basic etiquette? *degradingly, without even looking at her*
Obviously, Valencia had come straight from killing someone, and was therefore wearing basic work clothes: a black suit set with an off-white button up shirt and black tie.
Except, the shirt was stained with splatters of blood, as was her face.
CAMILLE MARANZANO︱Alessandro's wife
*covers her son's eyes.*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*rolls her eyes.* I apologize, however, I was called here with ten minutes notice on my way home to clean up.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
And I'm afraid I won't be staying long anyway, so sorry for ruining your appetites. *smiles*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
How impudent!
AIDEN MARANZANO︱FL's younger brother
*snorts quietly*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
*stares at her with an unreadable look*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*looks at him*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Why did you call me father? *coldly*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
*leans forward, hand putting the fork down as he wipes his mouth*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
To discuss your marriage. *emotionlessly*
Everyone but her mother and eldest brother looked at him silently, in surprise (or shock).
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Marriage? *snorts* Are you kidding me?
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
*stares at her*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*gets up* This is ludicrous, I'm leaving.
She started walking away.
ALESSANDRO MARANZANO︱FL's oldest brother
*tuts* Dad, I told you she wouldn't listen.
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
VALENCIA! Sit back down right now. *warning tone*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*flinches from her trauma reflex, stopping* I'm not going to get married, I'm only 19. *stable tone, not looking back*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
I had your brother at 19, stop being so stuck up Valencia. *patronizingly*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
Where did I go wrong to raise you so unladylike? *sighs disappointedly and starts eating*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*clenches her fist and turns around*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
You will be getting married whether you like it or not. We've already signed a contract with the De Angelis. *ignoring her glare*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*laughs in disbelief* What, so you've already decided on my husband too?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Without consulting me at all?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*starts clapping* Applause for Mr.Maranzano, the man who gets his children married without their knowledge! *looks around at her family with wide, mad eyes.* Come on folks, give him a hand.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*cheekily bites her tongue and covers her mouth with her hand*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Oh wait, I forgot you don't consider me one of your children! *laughs*
There was a hint of bitter vice in her tone that couldn't be hidden by her sweet laugh.
CAMILLE MARANZANO︱Alessandro's wife
*frowns at her* Alessandro, I'm going to take Zach away until she's gone. *murmurs quietly to him*
She walked out holding her son.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
That's right, keep your children safe from me. *smirks*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*looks directly at Alessandro* Because my mental problems might be infectious. Right, brother?
ALESSANDRO MARANZANO︱FL's oldest brother
*looks away, sipping his wine.* I don't know what you're talking about, Valencia. Did you have a drink before coming here?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*chuckles* Do I seem drunk? I don't think I had a drink.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Anyway, father, who is my chosen groom from the De Angelis family? I'm sure you have that planned out too.
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
... *bites his bloōdy steak*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
Xavier De Angelis.
AIDEN MARANZANO︱FL's younger brother
*looks at him*
LEO MARANZANO︱FL's 2nd older brother
*shocked*
ALESSANDRO MARANZANO︱FL's oldest brother
*eyes widen*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Xavier? *smirks*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Why, father, you truly do love to make a fool of me, don't you? *laughs*
