Chapter 17 Cooking a Disaster

Ava’s PoV: 
We reached the mansion in silence and iam very greatful for his silence and distance. They way he manhandlened me before was like lightning stirking me abruptly.
It felt good and at the same time hated every second of it. I Am afraid of my body’s reaction to him. 
Vincenzo didn't sit in the car even for a second and stormed out of it slamming the door shut, startling me.
“ What has gotten into him! He was challenging and kissing the hell out of me and now being cold!” I muttered loudly, cursing out some and left the car fuming.
If he wants to behave like an asshole then I won't have any problem being one. 
I walked into the mansion cursing and huffing not paying attention to my surroundings but when giggles echoed around me, I snapped my head towards the source of the sound. 
My heart dropped down to my stomach. Fury like never before consumed me, making me see red.
How dare he order me to not touch anyone and here he is letting someone sit on his lap! 
Does he think I'm a fool! Anger bubbling inside me I stomped upstairs towards my room not showing him how he is affecting me.
I don't care what he does, I just want to prove to him that I don't care and I can give him a show too. He thinks i'm going to behave like a jealous wife and create a scene but he is so wrong for thinking like that about me. 
I retrieved my phone from my bag and dialed Sienna's number, already feeling excited about the plan which was brewing in my head.
It's going to be so much fun getting on his nerves and making him lose his cool.
“ We just parted ways, Ava! Are you already missing me!” Sienna teased, making me roll my eyes at her teasing. I Am currently in my room and pacing around it.
“ Yeah! Yeah! Now listen carefully, okay?” I told her my plan and waited for her answer but she was silent on the other side of the call, not saying anything.
“ Do you have a death wish?” she uttered those words so seriously like she really believe that Vincenzo will kill me.
Maybe she is right! Maybe he will kill me after seeing what i have planned but who cares.
“ Maybe! But I want you to help me, Sienna! Are you with me or not!” I don't have patience nor I can't wait to take my revenge on my husband.
“ Ugh! I will be the first one to leave your ass and run when your Mafia don husband starts firing the gun.” She groaned in annoyance but agreed to my crazy and deathly plan reluctantly.
“ Thank you, Sienna! I will protect you from the devil no matter what!” I ended the call after hearing her some more grumbling about how bad my idea is and I am literally calling upon my death.
Nothing is more important than playing with my scoundrel husband and proving the point he just can't walk all over me.
I should stop calling him my husband in my head before it gets any crazy ideas. 
I should get ready for the big surprise then! Giddily I ran towards my closet to get the best dress for the evening and the accessories which I will need to deck me up pretty good. 
Do I go for a long evening gown? Or a mini dress! Maybe I should just close my eyes and pick the dress. I closed my eyes and trailed my fingers along the dresses and stopped at one.
Praying in my head that it is not some flashy or tacky dress I opened my eyes and they fell on the maroon mini dress which I was saving from a long time and didn't wear on any occasion.
Maybe the dress is waiting for this special day. 
Smirking like a maniac I took it out and placed it on my bed and after the dress I chose some jewelry and heels to go with the dress. 
I need to make some arrangements in the kitchen and also in the living area, i can't call it a living room as it is the size of more than one living room.
As I descended down the large stairs a maid rushed towards me and there is no one in the hall leaving it completely empty.
“ Where is everyone?” I asked, walking towards the kitchen as she followed me like a little rabbit. 
Does she think I am also like one of these people who sees maids like they are insects! I respect people and I know what empathy is.
“ My Lady, They all went to the meeting.” She answered meekly, not making eye contact.
“ Umm, What is your name?” she seems to be in her thirties and i don't like her calling me like she called. She is older than me and I can't let her address me with such a title.
No one used to use such honorifics back home so it seems odd. 
“ Maria, My Lady.” She ushered out, her hands slightly shaking. Is she scared of me? 
“ Maria! Please call me Ava and now follow me to the kitchen.” I ordered her in a fake authoritative tone and a chuckle escaped me when she gets startled.
“ Uh! M..My Lady! I can't call you by your name. It's forbidden for us to use anyone's names from the family.” I turned around facing her and put my hands on her shoulders.
With a deep sigh I straightened her posture so she could look at my face while talking. 
The way she is treating me is so overwhelming. 
“ Maria! Look at me.” I maintained the same tone as I used before and it worked. Her head snapped towards me and her eyes widened with fear.
“ I may have married your boss but I'm still me so please call me by name.” I gave her a genuine smile and I hope my eyes and face conveys the sincerity of my words. 
“ Umm, Okay.” I know the fear of dominance won't be erased that easily but let's hope I am able to change even a little bit.
“ Great! So, Maria! I have some work for you guys.” We walked into the kitchen to the other two maids who are in same age as Maria who freezed at my presence.
Man! I just can't take their fear for me.
“ Relax guys! Iam a good one.” I joked but the new ones didn't laugh at it but Maria chucked slightly.
“ Lara, Sophie, My la…. I mean Ava here have work for us.” I gave Maria a proud smile like a proud mother but Lara and Sophie’s eyes widened at Maria’s attrociaty of using my name.
“ I told her to call me by name and it applies to both of you guys too.” I informed, waiting for their reaction but none came.
Sophie scoffed and her eyes narrowed at me like iam the enemy and trying to trap them.
“ My lady! We are not the source of your entertainment when Lord Vincenzo will hang us for taking your name. We don't want to change the traditions of this family.” Her face changed into a cold stone.
“ Sophie! You can't talk to her like that. We have to follow her orders.” Maria scolded her as she went to stand beside her and the two ladies had a stare down and i don't want to be the reason for a clash between them.
“ Guys! Please, we can discuss about this issue later but I need you both to help me for a party iam throwing in the evening.” I uttered the words and gave them the expression that iam in a work mode and iam serious.
“ Did the lord know about it?” Sophie asked, staring me down like iam a naughty child who is planning a disaster.
“ Y.. Yeah! Why would he not know! He told me to arrange it.” I think I played it cool by lying but Sophie's expressions didn't convey that but still iam not going to back down now.
“ We don't have much time, I will tell you guys the menu and I also have to decorate the living area.” I blabbled the items I want on the menu and turned around to walk out of the kitchen.
“ Maria! I smell a disaster from a mile away and she seems the queen of disaster.” Sophie warned Maria but the other one just gurnted her displeasure and vanished somewhere making me chuckle at Sophie's assessment of me.
“ Maybe iam the Queen of Disaster!” I muttered while planning about the said disaster in my head.
