《Her Five Protectors》THIRTEEN
Advertisement
Romeo looks a little surprised when he finds Athena in the bathroom. She is sitting on the bathroom floor and looking at her hands on her lap.
"Ariana!" Romeo calls her name and crouches down in front of her. Athena looks up at him.
"What happened?" He asks sounding completely concerned. Athena slowly shakes her head in negative and tries to stand up but Romeo beat her to it. He grabs her in his arms and carefully looks down at her face. The side of her cheeks has turned red due to some reason. It looks like the area is slightly bruised.
"Who did this?" He asked slowly. Athena looks up at him with fear evident in her eyes.
"S-she told to not t-tell." Athena tells him innocently and in a hushed tone. Romeo's fists clenches in anger.
"Who?" He asks. Athena continuously shakes her head. Romeo knows that forcing the girl to seek out the truth wouldn't be the great move at this time. He immediately whipped his phone out. He texts Alexander and tells him to meet them outside in the parking lot.
"It's ok Ariana! Nobody's going to hurt you." Romeo assures her and picks her up in his arms. This move surprises her a little but she snuggles into his warmth radiating chest feeling scared. Romeo almost smiles at this but he doesn't say anything.
The pitter patter of droplets of rain makes her shiver a little. Alexander and Vittorio are already waiting outside. Seeing her in his brother's arms alarmed them a bit. Something serious must have happened. Romeo only went out to find Athena when she didn't arrived in the cafeteria...Till next ten minutes they waited only to get fruitless result and they decided to split up to search for her.

Romeo gently settles her in the car and nods at his brothers who slid into their own car. Soon they were off to the mansion. Upon reaching there, Romeo helps Athena out of the car who looks deep in thought. He rarely has seen some other expressions on her face beside this look of utter confusion and heart clenching fear.
Vincenzo is already informed regarding this and he is waiting for his siblings and the young girl in the living room along with Luciano. Vincenzo is just plainly curious but Luciano looks genuinely worried for the young girl.
Finally after what feel like eternity, following by Romeo and Athena, Alexander and Vittorio steps in.
"Bring a glass of water." Luciano says to the maids loudly and immediately rushes towards Athena.
He helps her on the couch and grabs the glass of water from the maid after muttering a small polite thank you. The maid scurries away blushing.
He hands her the glass. His heart melts as she innocently grabs the glass in both of her hands and take few sips of it.
"What happened?" Vincenzo asks to Romeo who narrates the whole his side of story. Luciano notices how Athena flinches a bit at the mention of that girl.
"Now Ariana! It's your turn to speak." Vincenzo dictates his attention towards Athena who is playing with her fingers.
"I am asking you something, Ariana!" He repeats in his stern cold voice. Athena flinches in fear a little and tries to say everything. Her words aren't making too much sense that make them actually realize how unfair her life must be back in her own home.
At some point, Alexander feels a little strange feeling tugging his insides telling him that this girl doesn't deserve to be kept in their life of lies. He is guilty and his facial expressions shows it very well. Vittorio and Romeo are putting some cold unbothered wall in front of them whereas Vincenzo looks emotionless cold.

"Who was she, Ariana?" Luciano asks her. Athena tries to dodge this question as Aurora warned her to not to say anything like that. Alexander was thinking about using a little sternness to get the truth out judging how easily she gets scared of them but however his thoughts are cut short in middle.
"Ariana! I appreciate your honesty regarding this serious matter. You are free to go to your room. Take some rest." Vincenzo tells her and Athena's facial expressions covers the relief well. She isn't forced to tell Aurora's name and now Aurora won't be angry at her. She immediately walk upstairs.
Vincenzo brings his attention back to his brothers.
"Bring me the security footages." He says.
