Four

To put the space between them, she put her both hands on his hard chest. She was perplexed as her hand felt the bulge under his chest. She patted her hand on it as it wasn't looking part of his hard chiselled body. Accidentally, her eyes met his. The corners of his lips lifted in a dark smile. He held her hand, " You wanna know what lies down the fabric. " He brushed his thumb on her cheek. Which was wet with tears. 

         " No, " She whispered immediately. It was a gun. She was sure about it. She didn't want to feel a satisfied smile on his face. 

         His smirk widened, " Good decision. You don't look prepared for my dark side. " The humour was gone far from his icy eyes and tone. His deadly glare stabbed her again, " My friends are in. Don't do anything stupid. " He said. 

         " What are you going to do? " She asked as his harsh words reverberated in her mind. There was a warning in his look and a promise of punishment in his dark tone. 

         His smirk returned again, " I'm going to put my ring on your finger. " He said and hauled her inside the building. 

         She couldn't come out of the shock of his words yet. She gasped while looking around. It was far different from the outer look of the building. The walls, roof, it was all white and dark furniture. There was only dark furniture and mirror work in the building. But was looking so royal if he would add a red carpet instead of pitch-black carpets. She blinked and lowered her gaze from the roof. He was staring at her, " What do you mean by the ring?" She asked, fearfully. 

         " Not a stupid thing. You don't want me as your enemy. '' He intensely told her. 

         "I don't want you as my friend either," She drawled, but she doubted her words. 

          He smirked darkly. He suddenly held her at his hand' distance and moved his eyes on her body. Suddenly, she felt the need to cover herself from head to toe. It felt awkward to her. She wrapped her free hand around her waist. He let go of her hand and removed his coat.

         She shivered with fear, " Guns, " She gasped. His holster was carrying two guns at both sides of his hard chest and knives. His muscles rippled through the thin, expensive white fabric of his shirt. 

         " Wear it, " He ordered her. It astounded her, " I don't want anyone to ogle at you. It will just boost me to shoot in their head. " He said with the taste of anger.  

        Her body quivered again as she stared at him. He frowned his forehead. He stepped closer. Her stomach felt strange, an unknown feeling which she hadn't felt before for anyone but him. She was in pretty trouble. He couldn't be a decent, innocent guy. He was carrying guns, Two! Knives! 

         She held the coat immediately and slipped her arms in it. Her nose filled with his muscular scent. It dazzled her. His hand on her lower back brought her back. He walked at the huge dark double wooden door. 

         She could hear hysterical voices from inside. She stood dead, feared to know what was hiding behind the dark door. She was scared, her heart was throbbing in her ears. When he pushed it. Her eyes caught Matteo. He was speaking something while smiling. He wasn't alone. Instead of looking at their faces, she lowered her eyes. He gently pressed her forward and they walked in another regal hall. 

          She wanted to run back but more than his hand around her, his guns halted her. Tears pressed against her eyes but she held them back. She didn't want him as her enemy. He talked about only putting on a ring. She could pretend and then flee away. 

          If she started crying now, things would only get worse for her. Particularly, when she was standing in his place. She whirled to run off. 

         " I'll find you. " He whispered. There was steel in his tone. 

         She shuddered again and tried to match her steps with his long treads. She ran his eyes on their faces, including Matteo. They were four in the same black suit, and handsome but not more than Matteo. He had a boyish charm over his face. She blinked and stared at the marble floor. 

         " She's Barbie. This is Alfredo, Gianni, my friends, and he's Romero, my left hand," He said.

          When his fingers snapped at her lower back. She nodded with a fake smile. She froze head to toe. She knew the meaning of the right hand. She was gazing at him with huge eyes and parted lips. Something else caught her gaze. Across from the floor, the door was opened and it was dark there. But she could see a figure standing there looking at her, his face was dark. His perfect body was draped with a blue Armani suit. He took a step back hiding himself in the dark, she didn't remove her gaze and she witnessed his blue eyes. His eyes were on her, only her. It left a scorching track over her body. He made her heart skip a beat. 

        Lorenzo held her hand strongly as it was shivering badly. He slid the ring in her ring finger. 

         'When did he purchase it? Why is he doing this? And who's there? Why didn't he introduce me to him?'

        She stared down at her hand which was suddenly feeling heavy to her. He slid a diamond ring on her ring finger. Platinum was studded with three fat diamonds. Her gaze turned to the darkroom. But there was no one, only dark lingered. 

        She snapped her eyes back at them as she heard the applause of his friends, brother, and right hand. She blinked and looked up at him. He leaned in and pressed his lips on her cheek softly. It was just a graze. She glimpsed his blue eyes again on her. She could feel his wrath. She shivered but it also gave her hundreds of feelings. 

             ' Who's he? '

          " We wanted to celebrate. But we have the flight to catch. " Alfredo smirked. He was tall, with dark hair, cold dark eyes and the broadest shoulders she had ever seen. His strong jaw made him handsome. 

         She gulped hard. ' He won't take me with him. ' 

         " Nico will be your bodyguard from now on. " Lorenzo told her. 

        She couldn't speak as the shock had still paralyzed her, " Now you're officially my Sister in law. Congrats. '' Matteo took hold of her hand from his brother and kissed the knuckles of her hand, " See you after a week. " He smiled and followed Alfredo, Gianni out. 

        " I need to go home. " She whispered as she stared at the darkroom. 

       Lorenzo cleared his throat. She jerked her eyes at him, " Romero! " He signed and ushered her out of the building. 

        Matteo, Alfredo and Gianni were already waiting for him leaning against a black Mercedes. 

        " I can't keep them in my house. I've one room with a small living room, kitchen and bathroom. " She tried to justify herself. 

        " That's my problem to sort. We'll talk in the morning. " He said and opened the door for her of black Audi. She quickly rushed in and waited for him to go away from her. He leaned forward and opened his palm. She hesitantly grabbed her phone from his palm. 

         She pressed her lips tight and stared at her hands in her lap. He closed the door softly and gestured at his men.
