Her Abused Italian Mate

chapter five

Raima

"I'm sorry." I said to my parents not looking them in the eye, "Please don't be disappointed in me. I know what I did was wrong but I promise to change." My head was lowered as my heart broke seeing my parents look at me with disappointment.

All I wanted to do was make them proud like my brother Kaden but I blew it.

"Hey don't cry." kaden said coming closer hugging me as the dam broke.

"I am sorry please forgive me it hurts seeing you guys disappointed in me.” I hugged him back sobbing in his chest.

"Don't worry baby they have forgiven you okay.." He said kissing my forehead as I sobbed.

"Yes Raima don't worry about it. We have forgiven you okay just don't do it again.." mom said

Kaden broke the hug as dad hugged me.

"It will all be okay princess." he kissed my forehead as I nodded my head sniffing.

"Come on cheer up Raima I don't like seeing you cry. We are not disappointed in you, we know you will make us proud okay." This time mom came over and hugged me giving me plenty of kisses as I giggled.

"Thanks mom.." I said looking at her as she wiped away my tears

"don't worry about it princess.

Now just study hard finish your assignments and make your mama proud." she grinned at me as I smiled.

"Yes ma'am.." I said making everyone in the room chuckle.

"Now I'm starving let's go cook lunch.." mom said heading over to the kitchen

"Wait mom.." I stopped her mid way

"What's wrong?" she asked

"There is uh no food in the fridge.." I said as she looked at me wide eyed

"What no food.?"

" Yeah I kinder eat at a restaurant.." I said smiling sheepishly

"Grr.." she groaned grabbing her bag as we all chuckled following her out going to eat lunch.

******

It's been two weeks since I was given five assignments which were pretty hard if you ask me. But good thing I had managed to answer three.

"Hey Raima, wanna go shopping?" My friend Isabella asked. We have been friends and room-mates since I came to college.

I have two roommates her and--

"Hello Raima can I borrow your text book.?" Maritza asked adjusting her nerdy glasses.

She was the other roommate I had. She and Isabella never got along since Isabella called herself high class and would never associate with nerds but not me.

I was a friend to everyone though my parents were hella rich and I spent 100 euros a day, I never looked down on anyone. I was an Alpha's daughter and Alphas never look down on people. They treat each individual equally.

I considered Maritza as a friend too because she was nice sweet and kind no wonder Giovanni liked her.

Bella glared at Maritza while I smile.

"Sure Marie." I handed her the book and with a small thank you she left.

"I hate that girl in fact I hate nerds.." bella groaned, "anyway shall we go shopping?"

"No sorry I can't.." I said to her. With my credit card gone I only had 500 euros which wasn't enough considering we bought stuff costing 700 euros

"Why Raima? Are you short on cash?" She smirked.

"No.." I lied, "I just don't feel like going anywhere.."

"Oh come on Raima that's what you've been saying since your parents visited that day. Did they take your card?" She asked tauntingly her brows narrowed.

"No my parents love me I'm their favourite child they would never take it away. I still have it I just don't want to go shopping." Hanging out with high class Isabella has turned me into a liar, if my mom heard me right now she would have smacked me hard.

"Oh come on, it will be fun. Let's go buy stuff. I promise you will enjoy it.." She said and I sighed. Isabella was one of those friends who would keep on pressuring you until you agreed to do what she wanted.

"okay fine but I have to come back and finish this." I said as she grinned.

I got up from my bed changed my clothes then got into my car heading to the mall.

Our first stop was Versace. It was a collection of all the latest design clothes

"Wow look at this one.." Isabella grinned showing me a beautiful and exquisite red dress that had small diamonds on the neckline.

"Come on try it on." Isabella gave it to me but before I could try it on I checked the price tag and it was 5000euros dang it! I didn't have enough! It was ten times the money I had

"No I can't take this." I sighed giving it back to her. Even though I really liked the dress I couldn't get it without the money. Sigh why did I go drinking? I should have stay home and studied maybe mom wouldn't have taken my card away.

"Why Raima? You have a black card use it!" She said smirking at me and for some reason I found the smirk teasing

"No I don't want to use it." I said checking out other things.

Everything was the latest fashion and I wanted it so bad at some point I even wanted to cry gosh how I missed my card.

"Ohh check this one out." She said handing me yet again another dress this one was even more beautiful than the first one.

It was so elegant and pretty with it's short sleeves and off shoulder. It was cut on the torso. I even imagined myself wearing this dress with my 6 inch heels and my hair falling loosely swaying to the rhythm of the wind.

I would be the centre of attention sweet.

I grinned at her then took it. Checking the price tag, I almost had a heart attack.

20,000 euros?I groaned how can a dress be so expensive. Now that I think about it I wonder how much I used to spend on clothes using my unlimited black card.

"Whats wrong?" Isa asked me.

" It's nothing I just can't." I gave it back to her. I so badly wanted this dress.

"Why are you acting like this Raima? You haven't even bought anything so far and we've been here for almost an hour."

"Look--" I decided to tell her the truth, "my parents took away my credit card."

"Then just call your dad and ask him for money."

"Look it's on limited edition." She said as I looked at the dress greedily I wanted it so bad such that I listen to Isa and called my dad but he gave me the response I was not expecting.

"What did your dad say?" She asked eagerly

"He can't give me the money not until I finish the assignments."

"Really Raima?" She chuckled

"Hey lovely ladies." A man who looked to be way older than my dad came towards us. He had a big pot belly with chubby cheeks and small glasses that sat on his nose while he gave us that look people give when they see delicious meat.

"I couldn't help but hear your conversation, do you need any help?" He asked and I shook my head.

I didn't want to take help from a stranger but Isabella just had to open her mouth and said "Well actually we do my friend here needs 20,000 euros to buy this beautiful dress." I glared at her giving her a disapproving look.

Did she really have to tell the man that we needed money? That felt like begging and I don't beg people for money except asking dad or mom of course.

"Ohh I see, I can give you the money if you want." The chubby l9oking man responded while My eyes widen as isa grinned

"Really?" I asked shocked. People just don't give money like that unless he has something up his sleeves.

Both my Wolf and I were instantly on high alert. We weren't going to trust a stranger so easily especially if he was offering us €20,000

"of course." he smiled evilly and I knew there was a condition. "But first." The man started coming closer to me, too much for my comfort and my Wolf was already sneering ready to attack the chubby man.

We both could tell he had evil intentions towards us but I had to tame my Wolf. The store was full of humans it wouldn't be a good thing if they got to find out about us.

"What will you give me in return?" and there it was the condition I knew nothing was free in this world except parent's love.

He was about to touch me but I stepped away. Isa pulled me to her side saying, " Come on Raima say yes."

It was really tempting. I wanted the dress so bad and this man was offering me the money I needed.

" Come on Raima just give him a kiss and you will have this dress in your hands." isa said and I looked at the man whose eyes were a darker shade.

One kiss wouldn't hurt right? If I just give him one kiss I would get this beautiful dress and be the centre of attention.
