Chapter 7 A Call From Stranger
He got what he wanted but the shallow happiness was the mood to talk to you now. Don't try to force the issue and make a fool of yourself." Eliz slammed the bedroom door forcefully, creating a reverberating sound as an extension of her negative emotions.
She locked it immediately, ceased areas as if touching them would remove the marks.
She took a deep breath, straightened up, and hold her mom that she was ready to go.
Without looking back, Eliz and Elizabeth left with four huge suitcases.
Eliz had to leave all her valuable possessions against her will.
As per Jesoro's decision, they were regarded as part of the pledge.
She was filled with anger, disgust, and regret loving the wrong man for all these years.
Thought feeling down, she tried to contain all her emotions and lifted her chin to face her new life. After leaving the big house, which used to be her home, Eliz found herself depressed and lost in Milan.
She had no close friends in the area. Neither did she consider seeking help from her colleagues from the hospital. Having been drained of options, she decided to rent an old apartment where she could stay in the meantime.
"Mom, I'm sorry for dragging you into this trouble. Sorry for letting you suffer through this mess," Eliz expressed in a sad tone with teary eyes.
She was not at her best at the moment.
Elizabeth held her daughter's wet cheeks, wiped them with her thumbs, and said softly, "Sweetie, please don't say that. This is our fault. We made you suffer ."
'Mom, I am okay. This is not easy for me but I am not holding any grudges. I am glad and lucky to have you and dad." Still teary-eyed, Eliz sniffed and flashed a faint smile.
She having used to have a luxurious lifestyle before. However, she didn't notice the magnificence. It was so natural to hear that she did not think luxury was a big deal. But when she moved out of the high-end neighborhood, she learned what an average life was like.
"You are singing in front of a crowd for a living..."
While being emotional about the problem, Eliz jumped in surprise when her phone rang.
An unknown number flashed on her screen.
Eliz had never answered unregistered numbers before, but she took at this time, hoping the call might have something to do with her father...
"Is this Miss Navarro ?" A deep voice came from the other end of the line, and it was probably from a middle-aged man.
Hearing his voice, she felt that the call was of the utmost importance, something she couldn't simply ignore.
Confused, Eliz nodded and confidently confirmed, " Yes, It's me."
"Mr. Aleotti has something important to tell you. Are you available now?" Fred Burce asked on the other end of the line with a tone of demand.
