The next day she woke up to an empty bed. Again. Seemed like Matteo has always been an early riser. He was so much different from Antonio.
Antonio...
"Hey, how are you?" Matteo greeted Amara in his usual manne
"Peter? are you sure you're feeling okay?"Amara was accompanied by Peter, she was doing what billionaires know best. Nope, sadly not shopping. She was actually working. Yep...as I said before, she's the workaholic kind.Anyway, back to our boss assistant combo. They were both taking the time fr
Amara was still sleeping when Matteo carefully gets off the bed and continue meeting with Paolo."Peter please accompany her. I haven't told her, I couldn't. Please don't tell her just yet, okay? let me find the right time to tell her." Matteo let him into their suite while he was joining Paolo on the other side of the door.
"Why did you tell her?" Paolo asked once they both entered their suite."She could see right through me, I already told Matteo to tell her! God, Paolo! do you really think I WANT to be in that position??"Peter yelled at his guard slash lover then grab himself bottled water from the mini-fridge.
"How did she take it?""As good as expected."Matteo cuts off their conversation, knowing he didn't want to discuss more about the woman. At that moment he had his clarity, he knows his main focus which was to find Antonio then get him back and kill him in a slow painful death.
Matteo holds her close the whole ride back to the hotel. He had arranged for their belongings to be moved to another suite on a different floor."Amara, we're here."Matteo had wiped her clean and covered her with his coat, but she could still feel Antonio's blood on her face and she could not s
Now let's leave our billionaire and her brute mafia Underboss for one moment, and get back to our Perky Peter and his sexy guard Paolo.They were in their suite after getting back from the scene where Antonio had been shot in the head.Peter was mad at Paolo for not getting back sooner, but spend more time instructing his men for taking care of Antonio's body discreetly.*****"Don't ever do that, ever again." Peter was pacing himself back and forth, while the doctor was checking up on him.He had never been worried about losing someone in his entire life. He felt his energy was draining so fast, time stop and he even thinks he could hear his heartbeat slowing down when he saw Paolo ran and took a bullet for him."It was the stupidest thing anyone had ever done for me! stupid! so fucking stupid!" Peter finished his drink and winced from the bitterness."Pe
Three weeks later..."Oh my God, I thought this day will never end." Peter slumped down on her sofa while Amara was back behind the coffee station and made herself another cup of coffee."I think my skin will ooze coffee, I don't know how William can fill my schedule daily for one whole week." She was back to sitting down on her girl boss chair. Her office had been remodeled since the incident.Peter was meticulously picky with the office designer and Amara was loving the end result. A new and fresh way to start her role as the Hamilton sole heir, or should we say the last of the Hamilton. Just as stated on the headlines of every newspaper, business magazines, and other online publishing out there for the last couple of weeks. The day she was back from the Keys she was greeted by news crews who were seeking her story. The authorities were hot on her tail but easily dismi
"What do you mean there are no abnormalities?""Aside from her alcohol level, I'm saying she's just exhausted, overworked, need more sleep, and also a vacation."The young handsome doctor smiled and told them that she was given an IV treatment for her dehydration, saying that she was showing signs of lethargic symptoms.Paolo was there supporting his boyfriend, Peter. Yes, these two loverboys have been officially dating since they got back from the Keys. While our Amara and Matteo went their own separate ways. But we'll get onto their issue later. Now let's read how Matteo finds out about Amara who was being admitted to a hospital. "What happened?" Matteo demanded as soon as he gets to Amara's private room. "Why are you here? why did you tell him?" Peter asked both Matteo and accused Paolo seconds later. "I'm sorry, I just thought..." Paolo shrugged
Two Years Later..."Peter, stop messing with the new recruit or I'll have Paolo come and haul your ass out of here.""What? I'm just making sure that she is doing her job. I'll be gone for a week and god knows...""Peter..." Amara looked at him and showing him Paolo's name on her speed dial, then he gave up and leave the intern alone."She will be just fine," Amara smiled at the new intern and assure her that Peter will be following up on her, via emails and video chats.Then Amara told him to get into her office and close the door behind him."You know I love you right?""I do boss, and I love you too..." Peter sat down in front of her."...wait, are you actually being emotional days before I'm going to marry my bad boy?"She laughed at his reference of Paolo, that big oaf of his is more of a g
"You're making me so happy, Amara." Matteo's mom was teary, while his sisters were telling her how beautiful she looked and how Matteo was very lucky to have her."This is your last chance Amara, there's no turning back once you're married to my brother, I'll spoil your kid like a true brat. I'll be his favorite aunt." Alessia was hugging her."I'll be her favorite aunt." Lucia blurted out her words, didn't want her big sister to have all the attention."You'll be too busy with school.""You'll be busy with work." The little sister mocked her."Girls, please... she might cancel the whole thing because of both of you." Matteo's mom reminded them, while Amara just smiled at both sisters loving their sincere love for her and her baby, their baby."Come on let's take our seats and let Amara continue getting ready for the ceremony."H
"Don't worry, he will be just fine. The bullet just nicked his side." The older doctor said as he pats her shoulder silently telling her that everything would be okay."Thank you, Dr. Michaels."Amara was still by his side, while Paolo had just got back from his brief meeting with Leonardo. The mob boss had recently arrived from his meeting abroad, but he was quick to handle the matter delicately with Matteo and the rest of his crew.Duffy was placed in his residence and where it was trashed and made it looked as if he was a victim of a burglary. His body was stage making it appeared as they had killed him on the spot when he caught them breaking into his home."Amara, thank you for staying with him. Matteo is waiting for you in the foyer. I'll take him back to my place.""I can look after him for you, you have your work." Amara was hesitant in leaving her dearest assistant.
"Matteo, you're in so much trouble. I just found out from Peter." Amara greeted him at the door."Oh, yeah about that. I was just about to tell you. You should really stop snooping around.""I told Peter to go here, how could you guys leave him alone at his place...""You did what??""I told him to hideout here, his address is stated at the company's records. He could..."Amara kept on talking while our underboss was already pressing his speed dial and connect himself to Paolo."Peter's place, now. Get your guy to his door." He hangs up with his last words."I'm dropping you off at Leo's. Just hope his guy can be there on time. Come on I'll explain everything on our way there."Amara was quick to put on her flats then get her purse and coat, she was confused and secretly worrying if she had put her precious assistant in real danger by telling him to go to Matteo's."Paolo had tracked Duffy to his place just
"But this does not concern Amara! this is my issue with HR." Peter stands his ground. It was his mistake, he shouldn't let the man be in line for the position. He knows that he was a bit unstable yet he thinks that his name was needed as an option only. Peter didn't think that he would make such threats against Amara who voted no for him.Peter was exhausted when he slipped Duffy's nameinto the candidates' list for the operational director of the new branch. But when the day comes, Amara declined his name saying her dad knows that the man has a gambling problem, and had been he had suspected of taking the company's money."Just be thankful that you know about this and come to us. Look, he's a civilian. It'll be an easy one. Don't worry okay? She's at Matteo's. I told him to keep her there for a couple of days, you just need to call her and make up an excuse." "Oh god, I don't think I can. She kn
"Are you sure? maybe I should wear jeans and a simple blouse?""Amara, you'll look good in anything baby even with only my ring." Matteo tidies her loose strands to the back of her ear."Besides with this dress, I can have easy access to your bare naked thighs.""Matteo!" she slapped his hand when he reached under her dress as she was putting on her designer heels.It was a couple of weeks after they arrived from Paris that Matteo was picking her up for dinner with his family. She was nervous for the whole day, and Peter even took her to Lionel for a full spa day relaxation though it didn't seem to do much good.But she did relax for a couple of hours when Peter decided to bring her work back to her Penthouse. In that couple of hours, she submerged herself in contract approvals, legal issues, and recruitment matters for the expansion of the new marketing and public relation scheme
"Yes, yes...okay." Matteo ended the call and told Amara that Peter is coming. "I don't think Paolo is capable of telling Peter what to do." "Yeah, he got that from me." She smiled, then both heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Matteo kissed his new fiance and told her to sit and enjoy her coffee. She stayed in her seat and looked out the window, her mind was back to thinking about her life, her dad, and how her life had changed in just a couple of months. She had never thought that in less than a year everything would change drastically. "Amara! nobody is giving me a straight answer, are you okay?" her trusty assistant was to her side in seconds, then his eyes went straight to her bling and he let out a high pitch scream that made the two mobs rushed to them. "OH MY GOD!" Peter hugged his beautiful boss and congratulate her, but then within moments he asked
"The condom what? Jeez, how the fuck can you do that? nevermind...don't answer it." Paolo sounded a bit shocked yet he was amused by his situation. "Just, hack the feed to her hallway. Nothing should happen, but I need her safe. I'll be back in an hour maximum two, and don't say anything to Peter." Matteo ended the call and took a taxi to the nearest jewelry store after he asks the hotel concierge before he leaves the hotel. He didn't know how to choose a ring, he hasn't got a clue about jewelry all he knows it's gotta be expensive. But then he was reminded of Amara's simple taste then he groaned when the sales lady was giving him so many choices. He has been looking for more than half an hour and he was running out of time. "Sir, I advise you to take a couple of pictures and send it to her best friend, or someone close to her who knows her taste..." the woman looked at him with pity, he cleared his
"You know that I don't like you flirting with strangers? I thought we've established that conclusion back at the Keys?" Peter nervously followed behind his still angry boyfriend, while Paolo opens his room and locked both of them inside the luxurious and stylish suite. "I'm sorry? I didn't expect you...""Hmm...wrong answer, baby," Paolo cuts his words and wrapped his hand to Peter's neck and made him looked straight at him. "I... I'm sorry." Paolo didn't say anything he just kissed him possessively, his hand was holding him tighter. He was pulling him flat to his body, his other hand was to his waist keeping him still as he ravished the squirming assistant and silenced him with his deep passionate kisses.Peter moaned in his arms, he had never been with a very dominant man, and he was finding it a bit too arousing. "You are mine, Peter."
