Rose Pov

The day went by with me spending most of it in the library reading some books. It was quite interesting to say, I was so engrossed in reading that I did not know when the sun set.

Hearing a knock on the door brought me out of my world, unconsciously I sat straight smoothing the dress I had on which was given to me earlier on by Sofia, before saying a " come in "

" Rose "

I heard his voice before he pushed the door open making his way into the room. My heart kept beating fast with each step he took. Deciding to count it as nothing, I assured myself it was only because I was preparing myself to confront him.

" Wow! Would you look at who's home already, if it isn't our Noble Marquis "I spat at him. " It must have been fun fooling me right? " I continued raising an eyebrow before glaring at him.

" What's wrong? " he asked, giving me a surprised look. Walking towards me he stopped a little bit far from me.

" Ohh nothing at all, just mentally tapping myself to wake up and not get fooled once again by an Italian man " I said, batting my eyelashes at him before I continued.

" After all it's not surprising at all, deceiving other is what Italian men do best "

Glaring a little he took a little step forward before gently gripping my shoulders, then bending a little to match my height.

" Just because you were deceived by one Italian man doesn't give you the right to judge others. " He said, glaring into my soul.

Shivering slightly as I saw the nice man from earlier this morning completely replaced with an icy cold guy who was glaring at my soul.

Composing myself I glared at him raising my head up a little so as not to look inferior to him " Am not judging anyone as you can see am just saying what I have clearly seen here.

" Well, you are misinterpreting whatever you say you saw " he retorted back, standing back straight up.

Taking a few steps towards him, I stood in front of him raising my head up to look at him. " Really then how do you explain the fact that you kept your title from me making a fool out of me in front of your staff. "

Staring at me with an amused expression he shrugged his shoulders " seriously that's it "

" Well I never thought it was necessary for Rose , that's why I never mentioned it. "

Looking at him suspiciously, trying to see if he actually meant what he just said, I mean how sure am I he was not lying, definitely I cannot let my guards down again he's a man after all and an Italian man for that too.

Deciding to calm myself down for the moment as he led the way to the dining room so we could have our dinner.

Alfonso Tommaso Pov

Yesterday was a rough day for me as I got a call from my mom. The urgency to get a wife was already here and I was not yet prepared as I thought I still had a little bit of time left.

I had a deadline to meet in order not to lose everything to my reckless and manwhore cousin. He was from the other side or as I like to put it the other chain of the family and I refuse to let a nobody get a fortune he or he's father knows nothing about nor worked for.

I had been thinking about it all through the night and I was left with one choice I thought, slightly glancing at the lady at the other side of the table. Taking a deep breath I signed contemplating on whether to tell her my plan or not.

Ruffling my hair a little bit, this won't end well. I thought about taking a deep breath once more.

" Okay your royal highness I know it's none of my business, but is everything alright? "she asked before stuffing a piece of pancake into her mouth.

" Well, I'm glad you asked and call me Alfonso please, " I said.

" Alfonso..... " she said but it sounded like she was testing my name and I liked the way it sounded from her lips.

Pushing my thoughts aside I looked at her with a serious expression to show that I meant whatever we were about to discuss.

" I have a proposal that will benefit both of us, " I said, still looking at her. " Would you like to hear it ? " I asked.

Looking at me with a confused expression she nodded her head. " Will you marry me? " I asked her again, watching her expression change from attentive to shocking and then anger.

" What did.... "

" Wait!, before you say anything, hear me out first okay " I interrupted her.

Frowning she stood up glaring at me turning around to leave the dining room. Quickly getting up I grabbed her arm.

" Wait tesore " I said desperately trying to explain myself to her as I know how important this is to me and it could also help her a bit I thought.

Turning around she looked at me, this time raising an eyebrow waiting for me to continue.

Releasing her arm I composed myself before continuing. " Have been thinking bambina you definitely will need help fighting both your exes and who better to help you than me, I am wealthy and influential " I said looking at her after I finished.

" And of course what's in it for me is that I am in need of a wife urgently, as you see tesore it's a win-win situation " I said, crossing my arms.

Looking at me curiously she asked " why do you need a wife? "

Shrugging my shoulders " I can't answer that for now but I assure you it's nothing serious or life threatening " I said as I did not see any reason to tell her about my family problems, especially when I wasn't yet sure if she was going to accept my proposal.

Coming out of my thoughts I looked at her as I noticed she was already looking at me with a contemplating expression.

" Are you serious? she asked, looking at me with a poker expression on her face. Nodding my head I replied" yes I am. "

" Alright, I will agree but on one condition " she said looking at me giving me an icy expression.

" What's that? " I asked.

"We get to divorce right after we both get what we want " she said to which I nodded my head.

" And you don't get to touch me throughout the period of this deal " she added her cheeks tinted with a bit of red.

Raising my eyebrows at her I shake my head at her " absolutely not, you are going to be my wife after all " I said trying to clear my thoughts as the memory of the image of her slender legs and slim body in my t-shirt flashes before my eyes.

Rolling her eyes at me " Alfonso, I will never let you touch me so forget about it " she said glaring at me, the red never leaving her cheeks.

Going back to my chair I sat down crossing my legs looking at her before nodding my head. For now I thought, just for now Cara Mia.
