Emma, Nero's mother is bouncing on her toes.
Luca is amused by her behavior.
"What are you so excited about? Don't tell me because it's our 30th anniversary" he teased her.
He knows very well why she is excited. She is happy that her son is finally bringing a girl home. And the fact that she liked even more is that the girl is none other than Mia's best friend Chloe Johnson.
Luca never talked to that girl personally. But he heard his wife Emma and Chloe's conversation a couple of times.
The way she was talking to Emma was polite and with a genuine smile. As if she is really happy to talk to Emma. Even though he is 60 years old, he still keeps tabs on Mia and her friends.
He never found out that Mia spent money on Chloe in all these four years. That showed him that Chloe has self-respect. That girl is working two part-time jobs during her college days to make the ends meet, but she never asked Mia for financial help.

Nero couldn't take his eyes off Chloe, as she slowly walked down the stairs in her black dress. She is breathtaking. On the other hand, Mia is glaring at Alesso. She huffed and walked past him towards the car which is parked outside. Alesso smirked and followed behind her, leaving Chloe and Nero alone. Nero pulled Chloe in to him arms and kissed her forehead while holding her face in between his palms. "You look gorgeous" he whispered in her ear, making her blush a deep shade of red. "You are not so bad either" she whispered with a teasing wink. Nero smiled at her comment. He removed a blue velvet box from his pocket and gave it to her. "This is for you" he said casually. Chloe frowned looking at that box. "What is this?" She asked him. "Open the box and look for yourself" he told her. He wrapped one of his arm around her waist and he kept the other one in his pocket.
Mia is showing Chloe around the main house. "This is my room" Mia said, opening the door to her room in the main house. "Wow, it's beautiful" Chloe said looking around the room with awe. The decor of the room is classic with pink curtains and pink bedding. Chloe is not a pink girl, but Mia's room is really beautiful. "Come, I will show you my brother's room" Mia said leading Chloe out of her room and towards Nero's room. But he never stayed in that room since it was constructed. When they were walking through the corridors towards Nero's room, Suddenly Mia's phone rang, indicating an incoming call. Mia looked at the caller id and answered the call. "What is it now mom?" Mia asked with exaggerated. After listening for a bit, Mia sighed. "Fine, I am coming" she said before disconnecting the call. Mia turned towards Chloe with an appologitic look. "Hey, my mom needs something. I will go and
When Mia came back to the place where she left Chloe a couple of minutes ago. But to her surprise, she didn't find her there. Mia searched for Chloe along the corridor to find if she wandered on her own to explore the house. But even Mia know Chloe is not the type to wander in an unknown place. Mia asked a couple of maids about Chloe, but none of them saw her. Mia tried Chloe's mobile, but she couldn't reach Chloe. "Where is she?" She thought as worry began to take root in her heart. Nero on the other hand is looking for Chloe. He didn't see her for the past half an hour, and the people on the terrace began to annoy him with their stupid questions. He is on the edge of snapping at them, but controlled his instinct. Instead, he exused himself and left the terrace in search of Chloe. He could feel better only if he hugged her and breath in the soothing scent of her body. He found Mia in one of the corridors, frantically sea
'She wanted to go back home' Nero read the message sent to him by Mia. He knows who 'she' is. He felt a pang in his heart. This is a foreign feeling to him. But he knows what it is called as. 'Hurt' it is what he is feeling in his heart. He is hurt that she decided to run away instead of facing her fears. He can understand where her fears are coming from. He was there when Daniel was scaring her by killing people right in front of her. His gun pointed on the forehead of the victim, and boom. The head of the victim exploded into pieces and a few of the flesh pieces fell on her face and body. When it happened the first time, she froze with fear. He could hear the sounds of her sobs from her room after that. After a couple of hours, her skin used to be red from scrubbing too much to get rid of the stench and the flesh of the dead man. Her fear is associated with the guns. The fear from her past must h
It's been one week since Chloe returned back to her apartment. In this one week, Mia called a few times to ask her how she is doing. Chloe lied and said she is fine. But she is far from fine. But she didn't get a single call or a message from Nero. Chloe tried everything she could to forget about Nero. She knows him for only a couple of months. She thought it would be easy to forget about him. But it's easier said than done. The pendant he gifted is a constant reminder of the times they spend together. She tried to cut it off from her neck, but she couldn't. She got so used to him sleeping beside her, now she is finding it hard to sleep alone. No matter where she goes or what she does, she couldn't help but relate the things around her with Nero. If she finds a couple talking and laughing, she found herself imaging her and Nero in their place. The day after she came back home, Matteo called her to come and join in the pub
Chloe is glaring at the girl. The girl is named as Rosalie. Her father is a famous politician and there is nothing she couldn't get. She is a regular patron of this pub, and he saw Nero a couple of times. He is the most handsome man she has ever seen. Since the first time Rosalie saw Nero, she fell in love with him. She begged her father to arrange a meeting with Nero so that she could confess her feelings towards him. Her father is reluctant to agree to her request. She didn't understand why. 'It might be because he is just a pub owner' Rosalie thought. When she finally got the chance to meet her dream man, she dolled up nicely to impress him. When she saw him personally in his office, she couldn't control her excitement. But her excitement is short-lived when another girl barges inside the office with a loud thudding noise. Rosalie winced at the sound. She looked at the newcomer. She is wearing normal je
When Chloe heard his confession, she frowned at him. She pulled back and glared at him. "You are lying" she accused him. Nero looked at her with confusion. "No, why will I ever lie to you baby? I am telling the truth" he said with puzzlement. But Chloe shook her head. "No, you ignored me for the past two weeks. You didn't look at me even once. But now you are lying to me. I am not important to you. You don't have to lie to me to console me" she pouted angrily. Looking at her sexy pout, he couldn't stop himself from kissing her. He captured her lips and kissed her deeply. He let his tongue slip inside her mouth and tasted her after two weeks. He longed to do that for the past 14 days. He kissed her until she is breathless and forced to pull back. He nipped at the sensitive skin on her neck to Mark his claim on his woman. His sexy little dove is irresistible. She wrapped the big bad Nero Vitiel
Chloe is in the bathroom, under the hot spray in her apartment. There is a smile on her face, which was lost for the past 2 weeks.After her shift in the pub, she came back home with a pep in her step. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face.'I love you 'his words kept repeating in her head. She never felt this happy in her life. She never thought she would be able to make someone love her again.After what her father did, she thought she is not meant to be loved by anyone. But Nero wiped it away with his confession today.After her shower, she wrapped a towel around her moist body and made her way outside, only to collide with a hard chest."Ouch" she hissed rubbing her nose."Let me kiss you to make you feel better" she heard Nero's voice, startling her.Chloe opened her eyes and looked at Nero with wide eyes.He is standing there in his suit, with an amused expression on his face."You? What are you doing here
