First Day II
Bella's POV
I showered and dressed comfortably in a red t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. I pulled my hair into a ponytail. I surveyed myself, yeah, I was no longer red. Alice and Jane came running in, holding hands, their dolls cradled in their arms. Alice was dressed in leggings, a blue tutu, a t-shirt and black studded combat boots. Her shirt read 'I Come from Money' and her hair was pulled back in a bun, her green eyes twinkling with excitement. Jane was dressed in a white cotton summer dress that reached her pale little knees. She had bright yellow flats and a bright silk ribbon in her hair.
We were going out on the town, with Mary as our guide, because that's what she does, she's a tour guide. While I was having a mental meltdown from thinking about my boss fucking, she knocked on my door and came into my room. She looked beautiful, the perfect Italian woman.
"May I come in?" Mary asked. Bella looked up, wide eyed and nodded. She was rubbing her face in one of shirts trying to rub the image out of her head and cool her face down. Mary stepped in, her plump lips curled in a small smile.
"Can I help you?" Bella asked coldly. Mary's small smile got wider and her hazel green eyes widened in excitement.
"Demetri says that you are the new nanny. Which is so surprising, since no nanny has lasted this long." Her accent was thick and she wobbled in and sat on Bella's bed. Why was she wobbling? Mary sat down and grabbed something from her purse. It was a cigarette and a decorative lighter. She offered one to Bella, but she shook her head.
"Have you ever had sex and needed a cigarette after?" Mary lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply, her eyes closing in ecstasy. Bella flushed, Mary chuckled.
"Well, you Americans are bad lovers. Your men don't know how to be sensual or passionate." Mary took another hit and blew the smoke into Bella's direction.
"You want to fuck him don't you?" Mary asked. Bella was taken aback and she felt the top of her head to the tip of her toes heat and tingle. What would happen if she said, "Hell yes!"? Mary got up suddenly and Bella nearly fell backwards in shock.
"I work for Italy as a tour guide, Ms. Bella. I take you stupid unappreciative Americans around just to see my home. But you," she pointed at Bella and Bella pointed at herself. Mary nodded, "You, the children and I will take a personal tour. And then we will have lunch and we will continue this conversation, Si?
So here we were, ready for a tour with a woman who just fucked my boss.
"Okay girls, listen to me, we are going out, I want you two to stay glued to me. If you run off and I have to chase you, I will catch you and you will be punished. Anything can happen to you and whatever you hear this woman say about your papa, don't you dare repeat it to anyone." Alice and Jane nodded, their faces half hidden by their dolls. They looked so cute! My phone buzzed.
"Ms. Bella, I and Felix are waiting in the limo for you and Lady Alice and Jane to come down." Demetri said.
"We are on our way down." I hung up and took a deep breath. I asked Demetri to come while he was taking Mr. Volturi to work. He said he would since it was the perfect excuse to go do some shopping for the house and then Felix overheard me talking about it and he is now coming along. I was glad of it. They were more familiar with Italy than I was, so just in case I have to smack a hoe…
Aro's POV
'I am a man of many talents' I thought to myself. I handed Caius's once broken iPad back to him. I knew how much that thing meant to him, so when a new rookie bumped into him, knocking the iPad from Caius's iron grip, it had fallen and bounced on the wooden floor. The thing immediately cut off and Caius couldn't turn it back on after he scooped it back into his arms and cradled it. He nearly killed the new rookie, raising the iPad of his head and bringing it down on the new rookie's shocked and horrified face. 'That poor rookie, I should remind myself to send a gift basket.' Fortunately I stopped my brother from committing an act of violence. It was certainly un-Volturi like to do such a thing in public. I forcedly pushed him into my office and sat him down in my chair since I know it would make him feel better to ruin something of mine. I took my suit jacket off and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I snatched the iPad from his grip and began unscrewing the back. After an hour of him sulking and grating on my nerves, I had screwed the last screw to the back. I pushed the power button and the screen lit up and it went to his screen, a picture of Athendora dressed up in a sexy she-devil costume. Caius grabbed it and surveyed it, his fingers began sliding over it and he looked up at me. He wasn't going to say thank you.
"Find me that rookie's name!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Volturi, but you have a call on line one, it's your brother Marcus." Carmen's warm Spanish voice came across the intercom. I looked over to Caius; he was looking at me with a curious expression. Our brother Marcus, like our youngest brother had moved from Italy. Currently, he was on tour, showing his new masterpiece, The Taming of the Devil, it was a dark piece of art, with the devil being wrapped in thorns. The devil was painted as a grotesque monster shrouded in darkness, while the maiden, a beautiful sorceress he named, Renesmee, looked on in sadness. It was a most desired piece, people flocking from all over wanting to get their hands on it. But for the life of him, Marcus could never sell it, so every summer; he would go on tour from Europe to America.
"Send the call through, Carmen." I leaned back in my chair, placing my feet on my desk.
"This should be a highly interesting conversation. Only Carlisle would make it complete." Caius said as he turned off his iPad.
"Brothers?" Marcus's low tenor voice came through. Like me, he was not a fan of technology.
"Yes Marcus?" Caius and I asked.
"Jinx, you owe me a soda," I chuckled.
"How about gouging your eyes out?" Caius replied, coldly.
"I hear you hired a new nanny, Aro." Marcus spoke up.
"Yes. It seems the news is leaking out. How did you find out?"
"Our youngest sibling, he said you were having some trouble with Edward and the new nanny not getting along." Marcus replied.
"Ah yes! Edward hates her guts but Alice and Jane has taken quite an attachment to her." I said thoughtfully. Alice was a shy little thing and Jane…well Jane followed behind her big brother. She helped set up his little tricks, slipped the laxative in Nanny Giselle's coffee, allowed him (with Alice's make up skills) to make it looked like she had died and gave Nanny Sasha a heart attack. Nanny Sasha found my youngest daughter in the attic, after losing my daughter for three and a half hours, dead.
"Also, I hear you're hosting a family get together next week, before the children go back to school." Marcus alleged. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"I supposed I have to now." I sat up and leaned on my knees, glaring at Caius, who was looking down at his iPad, a smirk ghosting over his face.
"Well, I'm in France at the moment and Heidi and the children are vacationing in Luxembourg. We'll fly out Tuesday." Marcus.
"Where will you and Carlisle be staying?" Caius asked, looking up from his electronic.
"The old Volturi city house in Florence. I have already let the Head Chambermaid, Hulien and her nephew, Nahuel, know of our upcoming arrival." Marcus replied. Hulien and Nahuel had come to Italy some years ago from Peru. Nahuel's father Joham, a scientist from Portugal had brought the house from our father. He needed somewhere to hide his experiments and when Joham didn't need the house after he gotten a woman pregnant in Algeria, he sold the house back to our father who used it for a city house, whenever he was in the city, so he didn't have to use a hotel.
"Alright, see you Tuesday and have a safe flight." I bid my brother farewell.
Bella's POV
I watched Alice and Jane follow Felix to a market place as I sat with Mary on a fountain that was sitting in the middle of the plaza. We had gotten lunch, since I and the girls didn't have breakfast so we went to a local plaza restaurant. Demetri had abandoned us in favor of going to the little shops, a fat wallet in hand. Felix guarded us, sometimes even lightly touching his gun holster and whispering something that sounded like: "It's okay Maggie, you'll get your blood soon".
I was nibbling on a snow cone, watching as Felix blew bubbles in the girls' faces and they squealed with delight.
"I met Mr. Volturi two years ago. I had applied for a job in his company when his brother told me I was not fit to work in a place where the sharks were more vicious than the ones in the water. I was turned away and had luckily found a post to be a tour guide. I have, as you've noticed, perfect English." I nearly jumped out of my skin when Mary started talking. I took my eyes off of the girls, knowing that they were much safer with Felix, and looked at Mary.
"I took the job," she continued, "I ran into him when he and his brother were going to their sister in law's opening of her new restaurant. I fell in love with him. He is the perfect man. He's rich, handsome, and very attentive. I watched every nanny he hired get carted away. So I'm not worried about you staying any longer than you're needed." Yeah, I was going to have to smack a hoe…
"What makes you think that?" I asked her. She did not blush or feel ashamed.
"Because you'll want to get close to him and I can't have that. He belongs with me. I am the perfect one to raise his children and help him carry on the Volturi name. I know him. I know what makes him calm when he has been angered; I know how to make him laugh. I know where his spots are," Mary replied, arrogantly.
"His spots? The last time I checked, Mr. Volturi was a human-"
"Not those kind of spots, Ms. Swan." Her hazel green eyes glinted with an unknown emotion.
"Oh, so you think that because you know what turns him on, makes you more able to be his future wife? The future mother of his kids?" I got up and threw my unfinished snow cone away and stomped back to her.
"Let me relay something to you, Miss. Mary, if you ever come to the Volturi Manor ever again and touch my kids, talk to them, even breathe in their presence or even go near Mr. Volturi, Felix's gun will get her taste of blood she so desires because I will blow your face off! Mr. Volturi is a man who cares about his family and will do anything for them. He is not a prize to be won. When and if he chooses a wife it will be because she loves his children and loves him and not for his wealth, his connections, nor his name. If anything, I have a better shot at becoming his wife than you do, you cazzo puttana!"
Aro's POV
"Aro." I sifted through my files, not paying attention to my brother, who was staring out the window.
"Aro," he said again. I keyed in the numbers, ignoring him.
"Aro, is that your nanny, with Mary?" Caius said finally. I stopped and looked back at him. He was staring out the window, his back straight.
"Ms. Swan knows nothing about Mary, so what are you talking about, dear brother?" Mary, a woman I have been seeking intimacy with for two years, why would she be with Ms. Swan? Ms. Swan knew nothing of my sex life and it should stay that way.
"It seems that Ms. Swan has a hand on her." Caius's voice was filled with amusement when he turned back to look at me. I pushed away from my desk and stood, walking over to see my brother telling the truth. Ms. Swan, my nanny to my children, pushing Mary into the fountain and lunging in after her, grabbing her hair. I saw Alice and Jane running over, their dolls clutched tightly in their arms and it seems that Ms. Swan and Miss. Mary were drawing a crowd. My eye started twitching. Caius grabbed his phone out of his pocket and held it up. I snatched it from his grip and threw it to the ground, my 3,000 dollar dress shoes crunching the broken pieces of the small device.
"Let us go brother and sort out why my nanny and my lover are making a lot of men's dreams come true." Caius was still looking at his phone in horror. He knew I was going to by him another, so he followed, mumbling death threats all the same.
Bella's POV
I kept submerging her under water and she kept scratching my arms. There were streaks of red going down my pale arms but I couldn't let her up. How dare she talk about Mr. Volturi like she owned him, like he was entitled to her because she jumped his bones! And the children, over my dead body she would be the future mother of them! I looked up and saw Jane and Alice staring at me. Jane was cheering the fight on, her tiny fists pumping into the air.
"Smash her face in, Nanny Swan!" Her squeaky voice reached. Alice was clutching onto both hers and Jane's doll, staring at the fight with timid interest. There were too many people for her. I took my attention off of Mary too long and she jumped on me, making me smash my head against the marble edge of the fountain. I heard something tear and I felt my bra being exposed, the warm Italian air wafted against my skin.
'That bitch! That was my favorite shirt!' In a new fit of rage over my shirt being torn, I yanked on her hair and pulled until her hair separated from her scalp and then I used my foot to push her away from me. She landed on her back, the water swirling around us.
"MS. SWAN!" That voice chilled me to the bone and everyone got quiet. I looked up and there was the man I wanted to do freaky things to. He looked annoyed and he waved the children over who was happy to go over to him. They attached themselves to each of his legs. The crowd stepped aside to let Mr. Volturi and his brother approach the fountain. Caius had the wickedest smile on his face, his shoulders shaking in silent laughter.
"This makes up for my phone getting stomped on." Caius said through the silence. Mr. Volutri was taller than I thought and looked at Mary and me with disappointment. I supposed, I sat a bad example for the girls.
"Aro, you should fire her. All I said that I wanted to be with you and she went bat shit crazy on me and attacked me!" Mary cried. She got up and ran to Aro's side, casting me a smirk of all sorts. She trapped his arm against her chest and Caius rolled his eyes.
"I asked you not to start a relationship with anyone that works for me. It will create problems. It's only sex that I need you for. Not to take my employees or my children out. Leave my sight." Mary moved away from him and walked away, her face whiter than her original Italian complexion.
"I'm sor-" Mr. Volturi held his hand up to stop me. He waved me over and I stumbled out of the fountain, shivering. He wrapped his suit jacket around my shoulders.
"I'm not going to ask why you were fighting with her. I'm going assume she said something bad and you reacted, right?" He smoothed his jacket over my shoulders and I could feel my heart dropping to my stomach. I nodded eagerly. 'You can assume anything you want…'
"Girls, would you like your father and uncle to join us for the Market tour?" I asked through chattering teeth.
"YES!" They cried.
Mr. Volturi and Caius chuckled.
