Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 73

I found myself in front of Bryan's detective agency, but I didn't get out of the car. I just stayed there leaning against my seat and looking blankly at the crowd walking on the streets. 

Never in my life that I felt so helpless and alone just the way I feel at this very moment. Now I remembered and realized what my teacher told me when I was in fifth grade that 'Blood is thicker than water'. 

My father was not perfect. In the past, he did a lot of things that made our family broken. My mom left us because of his aggression and I left him believing that he no longer recognized me as his daughter, that he had chosen to be blinded by money and that he let me suffered for being an irresponsible father. 

I don't know exactly how I feel or what should I feel. Even though I'm still mad at him and blurted out those words... they were just words that came out of my mouth and not from my heart. Because if you would look inside my heart, you will find the love and longing that's just been hiding in the four corners of it. It was just covered in pain and disappointment that I felt over the years. 

He was still my father and for me, it's better not seeing him even though I know he's just there, rather than not seeing him forever. 

I couldn't help but to just shake my head as soon as his words about Joseph De Lucca and his cunning father came to my mind. What kind of father and a person Mr. Nicholas De Lucca was, that he even threatened my Dad to kill me just to cover up his son's immorality? 

I was dazed in my thoughts when someone knocked on the window and drew his face closer that made me startled and almost jump on my seat. 

"What are you doing here and why didn't you come inside?" Bryan asked me when I opened the window. 

"It's okay, I feel comfortable here."

"Tsk.tsk.tsk. Next time, tell me something believable, huh?" He smirked, shaking his head. "Let's go inside. I know you have a lot of questions to ask me."

I sighed, remembering that he had given my number to my father without my consent. 

"Yeah, you're right. You have something to explain to me." I closed the door, rolling my eyes. 

........................................

Seattle, 10 o'clock in the morning... 

I run immediately inside of my mother's house as I was excited to see her and my brother. I didn't inform them that I'm coming today because I wanted to surprise them. 

But it was me who was surprised when I noticed some travel bags in the living room. 

"Mia sorella!" (My sister!)

I turned to see Steven coming out of the kitchen. 

"Steven." I smiled at him and hugged him tightly. 

"Why didn't you inform us that you were coming?" He scrunched his forehead as he led me to the couch. 

"It's because I wanted to surprise you and Mom, but I think I was the one who seemed surprised and not you." I said pointing to the three travel bags near the front door. 

"Ohh..."

"Where is Mom?"

"She's in her room, packing up all her remaining stuff." He shrugged. 

"But why is she packing up all her stuff? Are you going to move out and find another house to rent?"

"No, not a house but another place, another town and another country."

I became more confused with his answer. 

"I don't get it, what do you mean by another place and another country?"

"Well, yesterday she received a phone call yesterday and then she told me that we are going back to Italy."

"What did you say?" I didn't notice that I asked it out loud that made him looked at me, knitting his eyebrows. 

"Belle?"
