Chapter 151
Jacqueline and Alessandro got to the mansion and Jacqueline was nervous thinking about what her parents' reaction would be if they met with Alessandro again.
They entered the house as Jacqueline was the one who pushed the door open and there was her parents sitting in the sitting room with their gazes on the television although they didn't look like they were focusing on it.
“I'm back. Mom. Dad” Jacqueline said, offering that as a greeting.
They didn't give a response to her greetings but rather questioned her with their eyes about the man that was behind her.
“I guess we met before, I'm Alessandro” Alessandro, trying hard to put a smile on his face.
“Yeah, we know, the one who almost went against us, the Alessandro who was being harsh on our daughter” Luciano said and Alessandro nodded his head nervously telling himself in a nutter that he really knows him.
“Why are you here, Mr. Alessandro?” Luciano asked, his face dark and ominous.
“I came to tell you myself that we got back together and would like to plan our wedding soon,” Alessandro said, not intimidated by Luciano's aura.
Luciano chuckled while Cecilia only stared at Alessandro with hateful eyes.
Jacqueline gulped seeing things weren't going well with them as she had predicted.
Luciano stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards Alessandro, as soon as he stopped right in front of him. He slid his hand into his pocket and brought a gun out pointing it to Alessandro making Jacqueline flinch, jumping away from where she was standing to another corner of the room.
Everyone else in the room didn't seem to care and doesn't even see it as something to be scared of.
Jacqueline wondered why her Mom didn't and even Alessandro who the metal gun was being stuck on his forehead.
“Say that again?” Luciano said.
“I wish to get married to Jacqueline El Salvador, sir” Alessandro said, still not caring about the gun that he knew that with a pull of the trigger which Luciano's had was on, his blood will spill on the whole tiled floor.
“Do you know what you are saying right now could get you killed, just a trigger from me right now and you wouldn't survive it, you know that?” Luciano asked, making Jacqueline get more scared.
All she could think of was the fact that she had warned Alessandro against coming to their mansion to let her parents know of her relationship.
Cecilia, who also thought the play thing they had all witnessed since the beginning of the day, was turning out to be the reach.
“I love Jacqueline, sir” Alessandro said, his gaze darting to Jacqueline as they exchanged reassuring facial expressions and smiles.
“She's the only reason why I'm living, I wanted to let go of her when we had our own difficulties but I realized I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to stay apart from her for a long period” Alessandro explained.
“You left her because you both have difficulties? What then is the guarantee that you wouldn't leave her if you both have difficulties in the van of marriage you want her to jump with you into?” Luciano asked, as he tightened the grip of his hand on the gun.
“I trust him Dad” Jacqueline chirped in.
“I don't need you to say a word there” Luciano warned Jacqueline who gulped and obeyed immediately.
It was no play as everyone was made to believe that Luciano really meant not wanting Alessandro to marry Jacqueline.
“We both couldn't bear staying together but after we were apart for just a day, I thought about it and knew I couldn't leave her, I had guards watch her even when I wasn't there” Alessandro explained, giving reasons for him to accept him like he was in an interview.
“And what if she gets tired of you, won't you let go, will you have my daughter live in bondage when she doesn't want it?” He asked and Alessandro was forced to smile.
“I will always respect her decisions and opinions, but I bet there won't be a reason why she would have to get tired of me” Alessandro said and a smirk appeared at the corner of Luciano's lips.
It looked like Luciano was supposed to be convinced by that but he wasn't, not a little bit.
“And why would you come back for her when you had broken her heart once! So you could break it once again?” Luciano asked and it brought about a heated eye contest between Luciano and Alessandro.
“She broke me not the other way around” Alessandro said, with his gaze darkening as they did not leave Luciano's face despite the threatening gun placed right on his head.
“Luciano, what's with the interrogation, you are scaring Jacqueline!” Cecilia yelled and Jacqueline, who had been staring, her face getting enveloped in fear after each word her father said, sighed and was glad that at least someone in the room was able to see her fear, and feel her pain.
“She needs to brace herself for what is coming because she won't be getting married to this guy while I'm alive,” Luciano said, making Jacqueline fall to the chair and her mother rushing to her side to hold her.
Alessandro's face was expressionless as it looked like he didn't hear what the man in front of him had just said. Or rather he heard but was not caring about it, just as if he didn't care about Jacqueline.
Luciano dropped the gun laughing as Jacqueline and Cecilia wondered what was wrong with him.
“I got you, Cecilia,” he laughed again.
“It was just a test for him and he passed awfully well,” Luciano said and laughed again.
Cecilia sighed while Jacqueline almost couldn't believe her ears. After all the drama. It turned out it was all a joke??
“It's old age, darling, you shouldn't pay attention to your dad. He's getting old” Cecilia said and Jacqueline nodded.
She really was scared that her Dad had meant all he had been saying because he was wearing such an innocent face on but never had she heard someone joke that intensely with a pistol. A gun!!
