Chapter 26
Anna's POV
Today is the day that the Severino really begin to feel pain of ruining our lives, Lorenzo and I had to grow up without our parents and that had been the hardest thing in the world for both of us.
My life as I knew it had ended and from then on, I had to grow up faster than age, I was suddenly left to fend for myself and my brother.
Lorenzo had wanted revenge more than anything and I was only doing this for him, it seemed like the only thing to bring him peace and I wanted for him to deal with the demons in his mind more than ever.
But I feared for him, the darkness in his heart was growing and I feared that he did not lose himself in the process of trying to get his revenge.
"Are you ready Anna?" I heard Lorenzo say from my bedroom door.
I raised my eyes to look at him through the mirror, he was dressed in a dark blue suit and a white shirt underneath, his hair had been styled back and he had a mask on his face, the mask covered most of his face, it was almost impossible to recognise him.
"I am just about to finish my makeup" I said as I picked up my blood red lipstick and applied it on my lips to complete my make up.
The lipstick went perfectly with my blood red gown, the gown was form fitting all the way to my knees, it hugged my waist and hips then came flowing to the floor from my knees, there was a long slit running from the middle of my left thigh to the floor.
I paired it with a gold Egyptian earrings and a gold chain, my golden heels went perfectly with my jewelry.
Picking up my golden mask, I placed it on my face, the feathers covered majority of my face and lent me a very sophisticated yet mysterious look.
I smiled at my reflection, I was going to enjoy the party at the Ferrari mansion tonight and forgot about all we had planned for tonight, by the time, I will be back from my party, the fireworks would have started flying already.
Lorenzo gave me a smile through the mirror and said "You look breathtaking Anna"
I returned the smile and said "You don't look so bad yourself"
Standing up and grabbing my purse, I flipped my hair over my shoulder and said "Shall we go and enjoy the party my dear Lorenzo?"
A smile spread across Lorenzo's face, with the mask and hairstyle, he looked like pure evil something in his smile made me uncomfortable.
I really feared for Lorenzo, he was becoming scarier with each passing day and the darkness in his eyes grew.
A nervous smile spread across my face as I took his outstretched hand.
"Come Anna, the party of the decade awaits us" he said as he led me out of the room.
In my heart, I found myself desperately hoping that I did not lose my brother in the course of getting revenge for my dead parents.

Andrea's POV
The sounds of the musical instruments floated into my bedroom, the soft gentle sound of the violin and the soothing sound of the piano, the occasion laughter which floated into my bedroom as my attendants fussed over my hair and makeup.
Wilma had employed the services of some thr best make up artists and hair stylists Italy had to offer and they promised they were going to make look like tyr queen I was.
For some reason, I enjoyed being fussed over, it was like a whole fairly tale vibe and once more beauty and the beast came to mind.
"Donna you look magnificent, so beautiful I can't stop looking at you" I heard Julia say and I could not help the smile that spread across my face.
"Thank you Julia" I said.
Everyone in the room kept gushing about how beautiful I looked and I loved it all.
"I can't wait to see you dance with the Don, that will be highlight of the ball tonight, every one will be looking forward to seeing you both dance" Julia said excitedly.
At the mention of Emil, my stomach lurched and I immediately felt heat rise in my cheeks, I was thankful for the layer of make up on my face because it hid the blush creeping into my face.
I had not stopped thinking about him all day, I could not stop thinking of what had happened between us, how I felt in his arms and what his touch had done to me.
For fear of running into him in the house, I had refused to leave my room all day and now the thought of spending the whole evening beside him was looming and I did not know how to handle it.
My stomach kept forming knots and I kept thinking of what I was going to say to Emil when I saw him.
"Aren't you excited Donna?" Julia said
"Yes Julia, so very excited" I replied but deep down, the panic was threatening to swallow me whole.
