What is Phoebus Romani doing here? Isn't he aware that Ilde Famiglia already found out about Mafia Romano? What they also figure out that the person who leads the Mafia Romano is the Romani clan?"I'm fine," I said and take a step back.He let go of me but I saw how his stare remain on my face. After a few seconds, his expression lit up and a flash of recognition cross his eyes followed by his charming smile. "I know you," he utter. "We've met before aren't we?" He take a step forward to close our distance that made me take another step back. I guess he notice what I did because his smile grew wider as if he find me amusing. I bit the inside of my mouth and compose myself. He doesn't know me as Herravie Costello but I need to be careful. Who knows if this man is just pretending that he doesn't know me. I mean, his father know me. Teofilo Romani is aware that the fourth child of Luscio Costello is a woman. We already met once so it is possible that he mention me to his son which is
I press my lips together. Sain is holding my wrist as he lead me the way to I don't know where are we going. I could feel how furious he is but his grip is not tight enough to hurt me, as a matter of fact his hand feels soft and gentle to my skin it's just that, I know that he is not in the mood. We enter the elevator at the end of the fancy hallway. I think this elevator is exclusively for him or perhaps it's for the executive. Silence is deafening between us, he's still holding my wrist although we're the only one inside the elevator. Sain is not uttering a word but he's anger is too evident in his face. There is a slight creased plastered on his forehead and his jaw is clenching from time to time while his eyes is blazing in fire.The elevator stop and then the door open. I was not able to know what floor we stop because my whole attention is focus on my so called husband doesn't want to missed even just a small detail of his expression. He pulled me again with him, I saw a man we
I force myself a smile because I don't know what to say. I let him eat the cupcakes while I am sitting on the single sofa inside his office. He seems enjoying which is opposite to what I predicted. I am bit worried with the thought that maybe he is just forcing himself but then, I don't think he is. There is a hint of satisfaction and joy in his deep dark soulful eyes that always drowning me.Honestly, he looks like a kid right now. I find him adorable which I didn't know would possible for someone who was so tall and has a firm body with a face that screams with manliness. I find him cute while enjoying himself with the cupcakes I made for him."Does it taste good?" I can't help to ask. I don't want him to force himself with something that he doesn't like. And I think he's been eating a lot, I don't want him to have a bad stomach especially now that we are in his office and not at him. "It taste delicious" he flash a smile that made me bit the inside of my mouth. "You should visit
My gaze stay on the close door thinking how long Sain will stay outside. After a moment of silence I start to take a step and roam around Sain Czar's office. I check every corner to make sure that there is no camera inside or maybe a wire tapping devices. After I finish doing it and confirm that I have nothing to worry, I walk towards the glass wall that made me saw the entire city. I stare outside for a short moment before I dial Enzo's digit.I didn't wait for a long second because after one ring, Enzo answer the call and spoke my name."Herravie," there is a hint of uncertainty in his tone that instantly put creased on my forehead.He doesn't sound calm, I think something happen. I didn't call fo quite sometime. After what happen to Laurent's burial, I was not able to reach them because I was stuck inside the Ildefonso's Residence. Also I become irresponsible. Yeah, I refuse to call them and focus on the idea of how I will fit as Sain Czar's wife."Did something happen?" I query in
"Phoebus Romani?" He pause as if he's trying to remember something. "Is he the son of Teofilo Romani?"I shut my eyes close and puff out a breath."Yes, the next crime boss of Mafia Romano" I replied in a flat tone.That man is giving me headache. I don't know what is he doing with his life right now. I don't know what got into his head to get close with Sain Czar Ildefonso, for sure he is aware that Sain is the next crime boss of Ilde Famiglia, the rival of Mafia Romano. He should stay out of their radar. He almost got killed if I was not order to assassinate Elliot first."What happen?" He curiously ask, perhaps he's wondering why I'm sticking my nose to that man when in fact he is not part of mission.Well, I am taking precaution. He is on the bad side of Sain Czar. It can't continue that way especially that they seems acquainted because they both on the same field of business. Once something happen to him, Mafia Romano will at stake, if that happen Sintti Crime Organization will l
"You had a power over him, always remember that."I had a power over him? If that is true then I could consider it as an advantage to my mission. But then that would be impossible, I mean why would he let someone like me to have a power over him? That doesn't make sense."Signora doesn't believe you," Pierro laugh mockingly.He is almost laying on the bed with his position. He looks comfortable though which I guess he used to come here that's why he is acting like that. Vincer laugh with him that made Nicolai scratch the back of his head."I am telling the truth" he insist, frowning a bit.I smile at him and smoothen my hair with my palm. It becomes my habit since I start pretending as Selena Castania. I think it was because I was always reminded with Mrs. Castania to look nice and presentable all the time. Most importantly I should be mindful with my hair.I am not that kind of woman, honestly I don't really care what will people say about me or about my looks. My life doesn't revolv
"Selena!" I heard Sain called me when I open the door and left his office.I didn't listen and continue walking. Good thing I saw his secretary getting in the elevator so I immediately march fast to catch up to him. He was startled when I suddenly enter but I just smile and press the close button before Sain could follow me. I stand in the corner and slightly fix my hair when I saw my reflection in the mirror. While Sain secretary which he called Peter is silent standing, not moving in his spot. I breath out because I was able to escape Sain. That man is really annoying sometimes. How could he shut me up rudely in front of Nicolai, Pierro, and Vincer?I mentally shake my head and look at Sain's secretary."Excuse me," I poke his shoulder that made him look at me. I smile politely, doesn't want to intimidate him. "You're Peter, right?" He immediately nod and hug the documents he's holding. "Yes Ma'am. I'm Peter Wills, Mr Ildefonso's secretary"He sound nervous. The tone of his voice
"Finish your food, we will go home after," he calmly told me opposite to what I expected.Is he not mad?I blink at him while slowly chewing the slice of cutlet inside my mouth. I couldn't help to feel suspicious because he is unbelievably calm. I'm expecting him mad at me because of what I did but look at him now? He is sitting comfortably on the chair across to me with his arms cross over his chest looking like a tyrant king with the strong intimidating aura he possess.I could feel those glances on our table which directly for Sain. He's indeed a head turner because aside from the fact that he owns this building, he is also lavishly handsome as usual. A walking temptation, a sin that I shouldn't commit that I am tempted to experience. I may sound exaggerating but my husband looks is really incomparable. He has the face that you will never easily forget. A handsome face that will give you goosebumps and fluttering feeling. Except his attitude, because that's a big turn off."Focus o
