Luca's POV

I hadn't expected her to accept that quickly but then again, I haven't given a choice to think about it.

She accepted—and that's all that matters.

I stood there like a fool at a loss for words. I had proposed the marriage but standing there made it looks like I had no plans on what to do after she accepted the offer—or maybe because I had thought Sabrina was more tougher and stubborn than someone who would accept my request on my first day of trying.

"It's cool then, we will start making arrangements for everything" I said, sighing in relief.

I'm just a step closer to having Sabrina Ventimiglia as mine again. I missed her, everything about her and I was mad at her and myself for losing her.

She left me, dumped me but that had only kept me going, the only thing that made me come back as the successful CEO of multiple organizations.

"Let me drive you" I suggested and walked to my car, opening the door to the passengers seat for her. A gentlemanly gesture I'd never show anyone except her.

"Thanks Luca but I think I will just take a cab" she said, walking away from me but I wasn't going to let her go.

Watching her leave right in front of me only brings memories about the past and would always makes me think that I'm losing her yet again.

"You don't have a place to go, do you?" I asked. "Your husband just divorced you" I added and even with her back turned to me. I could sense her anger with the way she clutched her bag more tightly into her hand.

"Your Mom is in the hospital, I'm sure you don't want to go to the house you've abandoned for years" I said, and she turned to me in shock. Obviously, I know too much than she must have expected.

"And your best friend is out of the country, where else do you have to go?" I asked and I could see the amused look on her face.

She crossed her hands beneath her boobs and took a step closer to me.

"You know too much Mr. McCorkindale. Have you been stalking me?" She asked and I laughed.

"Stalking is a bit too far fetched, Miss Sabrina. All I did was dig about the lady I would be marrying" I smiled although it wasn't even funny to me and not to her.

"Get in, stay at my place" I said, my voice authoritative.

"I'd rather sleep out in the cold" she spat and I chuckled amusingly.

I watched as she picked her phone and dialed some few numbers, none of them picked. The only one that picked up ended up disappointing her, I could tell from her looks.

"Still saying no?" I asked again.

"Shit! Have I ever had a choice?" She muttered angrily before she threw herself into the seat. I chuckled to myself as I moved to the driver's seat and ignited the car.

I knew Sabrina, she was damn stubborn and getting her to do people's will was never her thing. It made me wonder—How the hell was Haynes able to walk all over her. The only reasonable conclusion I could come to was that she was blinded by love. Love?

It hurts me to think about that but she really did loved Haynes.

**

The car halted in front of the mansion and glancing at Sabrina's face which was lost on the building. I could tell she was marvelled at how huge the mansion was.

"We are here" I said and she cleared her throat.

"You can make yourself feel comfortable in here. Forget about all the troubles of today and take some rest" I said and I sincerely meant that.

"Thank you Luca" she said and I only hummed before I got off the car. She got off too and just as I walked in expecting her to follow behind, I realized she haven't taken a step away from the car. I turned, raising a brow as I wondered what was wrong.

"Why are you helping me Luca?" She asked and I chuckled. She already agreed to taking my help and getting into a marriage with me but it looked like she's still having doubts about it.

"I mean...you could easily get any girl you want to do your bidding, why me?" She asked and I could see it clearly in her eyes—fear....panic.

She was becoming afraid of me, like I was intending to hurt her. It made me chuckle.

"You know better the reason why I chose you over any other girl" I smirked and walked into the house.

I took my jacket off and threw it to the sofa. Claire hurried over and welcomed me. Her brows furrowed with curiosity when she saw Sabrina walk in.

"Quickly prepare dinner Claire" I instructed.

"Yes, Mr. McCorkindale" she hurried into the kitchen.

My gaze went round the room until it landed on Evelyn, she bowed in greetings when our eyes met.

"Show her to the best room available and prepare a bath for her, show her to the dining table afterwards" I said, my head nudging at Sabrina who was still taking the whole decor in.

Evelyn nodded and I walked upstairs leaving Sabrina in her care.

Evelyn and Claire—The two maids I live with.

**

The dining table was set. I sat down in a casual T-shirt and a denim. Sabrina wore an oversized pajamas which I presume belonged to Evelyn. Pasta with steak.

It wasn't bad for dinner.

I watched Sabrina as she ate and cut the steak gracefully. She knew I was staring and I could tell she was uncomfortable with my glare but I wasn't ready to back down.

Her phone pinged and she took a glance at it. A moment later, she dropped the phone and the fork angrily. Hell! That scared me.

She looked up at me, her gaze dripping with venom.

"When are we getting married?" What? That was unexpected.

"What??" I exclaimed. "You look so eager to get married to me" I teased and she gulped.

"I thought that was a necessary question" she defended.

"Well, when do you want us to get married?" I asked.

"This week?" She said and I mouthed a wow.

Sabrina is not the type who would want to be submissive to me, and she's also not the type that would be so eager to get married to me, not the Sabrina that doesn't even want me around her.

Something just triggered her. The message she received a moment earlier.

Haynes Chadwick—That must be him.

We will talk about this later, thanks for the meal" I said to Luca and rushed out of the dining area back to the room they had given to me. I sat on the bed and stares at the message Haynes has sent me earlier. "I have Camilla sleeping peacefully by my side right now Sabrina. I plan on living a happy life with her away from you, so don't cause me trouble" He texted me to let me know his ex is back, now by his side. In his bed.

    Luca's POVAll I did was watch as the reporters swarm all over Sabrina. Her gaze transfixed at a spot and her whole body in shock. I glanced at the car that drove past me and with a quick gaze with Blake—My assistant who drove me here, he understood what I meant. To get everything he could on the lady in the car. The one who had just brought panic to Sabrina. I didn't want to jeopardize the media the more by stepping out there to pick Sabrina. I clenched my fist hoping she'd steady herself. She was never this weak when she was with me. I didn't know what that black haired bitch might have said to her, but I felt like she could overcome it. Blake noticed my tenseness and turned to face me. "Should I go get her, boss?" I waved him off with a flick of my wrist dismissing his thought. If anyone was to go out there, it should be me.

He leaned back to the bed, hugging me and I hugged back tightly. His huge body frame that wrapped me in it's embrace feeling like the only thing I needed at the moment. I cried in his chest while he caressed my back. I needed to talk to someone but still, I couldn't bring myself to talk to Luca about it. "It's okay, Sabrina. You are fine" He said, patting my hair gently. Slowly, my cries slowed down and I only sniffled. I could hear his heartbeat and truly—I didn't want to get out of the embrace. I haven't felt like this in two years—It's the first time in two years I would be sitting this close to Luca, hugging his chest. I knew we were over, but I couldn't help this situation. Slowly, I drifted to sleep and all I could feel was the soft tender hands that caressed me. That was all it took until I fe

    Sabrina's POVMy heels tapped against the ground as I moved with my back straight and my chin slightly lifted up— a way of walking indicating ease and confidence. Everything was in a rhythm along with the way my dress swayed. I could feel eyes on me, whispers everywhere about my elegance but I didn't mind—I never did. That's the fake life I had built for myself, being the daughter of the influential Ventimiglias and the daughter-in-law of the Chadwicks; that was the only way I could make myself happy, the perfect facade away from the misery that had always been my shadow. Those people took pictures and I knew what they were after; the bag in my hand, it was the limited one that had arrived in my store earlier. Anything I touched turned into a trend in just minutes and the marketing world has me to thank for that. Getting my mission done; as that was to show the bag off. I hopped into the car and urged the driver to start driving. It was a half-hour drive back to the mansion. The m

That was the only thing he could offer me in this two years of marriage while all I did was put up with his attitude and nonchalant behaviours. He must have taken me for a fool—no! I really am a bloody fool for not seeing this coming. "For how long have you been standing there?" That came his reply to my question. Answering a question with a question or rather, he was avoiding my question. "Does it matter? Just answer the question Haynes. Tell me I heard wrong" I said, and I hated the way I sounded.

I had gone to the house in search of Haynes but he wasn't there, therefore I wasted no time in coming to the place where I would surely find him—His office. I have to beg him and I surely would. I had stood frozen for minutes and then made up my mind to make the bold move of entering the company. My feet moved and my body followed, with that, I made my way to Haynes Chadwick's office. My heart hammered in my chest with each passing floor in the elevator as I waited for the elevator doors to open. I wondered if he would still help me out. I'm still his wife, we haven't got divorced yet. He wouldn't just cut me off completely right? My thoughts spiralled as fear gripped me because I was unsure of what would happen in that office.

Of all people, why did he have to be here? Why did he have to kiss me? Everything felt like it was working against me.

He's my past and although something in me wanted to keep him, another doesn't want him back in my life.
