Chapter 46 Cousin

"Cousin?" Carlo asked and I can sense the curiosity within him.

However, she is looking at me ignoring Carlo "That. was. awesome!" She beamed putting her hands on her mouth with much adoration like a fan. Tch.

"Hey! How come you were cousins?" Carlo asked standing in between us.

She pushed Carlo aside and looked at me still with adoration "Do you know that I've been watching you for two years and also cleaning your mess." She stated to get my attention.

So, she was the one who's getting rid of those bodies if I changed in my Silencer mode, I was confused by that point.

"I am talking to you! Can't you hear me!?" Carlo exclaimed at her while she seems not to notice his presence.

"I'm Zoey Caspillan but my real name is Zoey Caspillan Tarre." She said smiling and extended her hand to me.

"I'm Carlo." Carlo took her hand and shake it but she immediately takes her hand out.

Tarre? All I know, I'm the only child in the Tarre Family. Uncle Dos doesn't have any children. Except,

"Who's your father?" I asked plainly.

"Antonio Tarre but he died before I was born." She turned sad.

The picture of the three young boys in the attic of the old mansion... the person in the middle whom I don't know who is partly similar to her.

The truth is that my assumption to those young boys are siblings and I never saw the guy in the middle. So, I believe we're really cousins.

I nodded "Why come out now?" I looked at her eyes, she's pretty with her green eyes.

"Well, the truth is... I have to work for someone's acceptance in the family. My mother fled far away with me, so I have to work for it to get back! Now, I'm back!" She smiled happily opening her arms widely.

Someone... it's probably my father, he holds the power in the family as the King.

"Can I hug my cousin? Please..." She asked with her puppy eyes and opened arms.

I remember my cubs in the Morounes Cave in her which made me nodded.

"Aaahhh!" She shouted and hugged me tightly.

"Aahhh!" Carlo shouted and hugged us too, a group hug...

"Ew!" She breaks from the hug and pushed Carlo away from us.

"What? I'm hugging my sister and my cousin now." Carlo defended himself.

"We're not cousins, she is!" Zoey is now annoyed pointing at me.

"So, we're in a relationship then." Carlo put his arms around Zoey's shoulder and winked at her.

I decided to start walking.

"What!?" She elbowed Carlo hard which made him kneel down and she run beside me, walking now.

"I am your biggest fan! Do you know that? I worked hard so I can face you. And now I'm here beside you. It's a dream come true!" She exclaimed nonchalantly with a wide smile.

I ignored her and continue walking.

"It's a dream come true to see you!" Carlo is already beside us talking to her which made her angry but ignored him.

"What's your plan now beauty?" Carlo asked Zoey.

"What do you prefer Venice or Claire?" She asked me smiling, ignoring him.

"Claire. Where do you stay?" I just continue walking with them beside me while Carlo is poking Zoey from behind.

"In the hotel near here." She answered but was annoyed by Carlo.

"Why do you look so pretty?" Carlo asked poking her.

"Come home with us," I ordered, and her face light up.

"Really!?" I nodded and she smiled widely.

"Of course! Come to our home and we can build a family." Carlo teases and then he earned a head kick from Zoey which made him fall down and she continues walking beside me.

"Ouch! How did you do that!? My new girlfriend is an Amazon!" He exclaimed standing up.

I smirked. Carlo already met his real conquest. Unfortunately, a Tarre.

"I have a blood of a Tarre, you moron." She said in low voice.

"You're still pretty with that annoying look." He teases again which made Zoey more annoyed.

"Come with me, I brought my car." He offered to her but she ignored him, I already reached my black Ducati.

Suddenly, Carlo dragged her towards his car and she has no choice but to get inside. Then I drive my motorcycle.

On the way home I texted Drena that I went home for a family reunion and I'll be absent tomorrow.

The moment I reached home I saw Carlo getting out of his car same with Zoey. Zoey immediately marched inside the house but was blocked by a butler.

Carlo gestured the butler to let her in and she gets inside.

"Make yourself at home!" Carlo shouted laughing while running towards her.

"Oh thank God! Carlo, you've matured! Is this your girlfriend?" Mom exclaimed with teary eyes.

"He's not my boyfriend!" She stomped her foot in annoyance glaring at Carlo and then she smiled and extend her hand to my mom "I'm Zoey, Zoey Caspillan".

"Divina Tarre." mom smiled sweetly shaking Zoey's hand, then her face turned confused "How are you related to Juliana Caspillan Tarre?" She asked.

She bites her lips "I'm her daughter." She stated.

My mom cried and hugged her "Oh my God! You're Antonio's daughter!" Then she looked at her with love "I've been looking for the two of you, I thought you were gone, I'm so happy to see you! How's your mom?" A tear flows down her cheek.

She half smiled "My mom is fine, but she's not with me. I escaped from her." She scratched the back of her neck.

"As expected to Juliana, she does not like the way our family lives. But I can't do anything against it." Mom looked so sad, suddenly she smiled. "But I'm so glad to see you."

Zoey smiled wearing her puffy eyes.

"I'm going to my room," I stated as I went through the stairs.

"Goodnight Claire!" Carlo and Zoey shouted happily.
