Chapter 18: The news
"Papa, what do you want to discuss with me?" Beatrix asked, sitting in her dad’s office.
She remembered how she used to play around with Ares here. Ares is only 3 years older than her so she had spent much of her childhood playing with him than the others.
Her father had forbidden them from entering his office after they had nearly set the place on fire.
Okay not her but Ares. They had found his lighter in the drawer and they played around with it.
A smile graced at Beatrix’s lips at the memory. It was the first time her father had scolded her.
He had also grounded Ares for months taking away all his toys and accessories.
"Beatrix my dear, you know how I love you." Her father started grabbing her hands in his big warm ones.
"Yes Papa I know." Beatrix replied, a radiant smile on her face. She didn’t know why he was suddenly asking her this.
"Hmm you have finished college now. What are your plans?"
Beatrix’s eyes widened in shock. Was her moment of freedom finally coming? Her heart leapt excitedly in her chest. No one knew how much she had been praying for the moment her father would ask her this question after she completed college a year ago.
"Well papa, you know I studied business administration. I can help Matteo with the business."
