22. ALMOST LIKE A FAMILY

LUCY

I was actually excited about the weekend. Alex and I planned to spend time together, so that he could get to know Jay and Vicky. But unfortunately, he had a family gathering in Sicily.

The sound of the doorbell echoed, startling me. It's almost eight in the evening. We just had dinner. Jay and Vicky were watching TV while I was washing dishes. Nat usually just bargs in, she wouldn't bother with the doorbell.

My heart skipped a beat as I wondered who would be standing outside the door. I rushed towards the entrance with a tinge of worry mixed with curiosity. I looked through the peep hole and saw the person I never expected to see again.

I opened the door and the person standing before me was Mrs. Diana De Luca, with her two bodyguards behind her. She smiled at me sweetly, it almost helped reduce my previous anxiety.

''Mrs. De Luca, what are you doing here?'' I asked, looking at her in disbelief.
