After the whole drama at breakfast, Donna Carmela asked me to come to her in her quarters when I was done eating. I barely had an appetite after what happened between me and Jace so I just got up and followed her instead.
I expected her to scold me.
"You have an event to attend tonight. Jace told me to inform you. In a couple of hours, the stylists would be here." She told me.
"Yes Donna,"
"You may leave."
I was unable to hide my surprise. That was it?
She was not going to yell at me for disrespecting her son?
I turned to leave.
"One more thing Mirabel,"
There it was.
I swallowed and turned back to face her.
"A Don like Jace needs a woman who knows her to wrap him around her finger. If you want to enjoy this union for however long it may last, you have to learn the ropes." She advised.
"But...how?"
She gave me a slight smile. It was barely obvious.
"I believe you're a smart girl. You'll figure it out."
