Four

He watched as she slept peacefully on the sofa. They were flying back to Italy so he could check on one of the warehouses.

He wasn't the type to see woman cry. Damn, if his sister would shed a tear he'd wreck havoc in the nations of the world. He wasn't the one to feel guilty but then he felt it.

It wasn't his decision to have her. It was his father's. Unlike his father, he didn't want to settle down for anyone knowing they'll be his weakness.

Vincenzo Armani had no weaknesses.

The name alone was enough to get one shaking in his or her shoes. He hoped that she wasn't a bad choice.

Arieon opened her eyes slowing to see a man staring at her. Groggily, she rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. She tried to move her neck but whimpered when a pain shot through it.

"Shit", she cursed as she raised her hand to massage it. "I'm guessing your neck is stiff", the man said making her look up. She winced when her neck hurt. "Allow me", he stood up and walked over to her.

Her breath seized when he sat beside her. He leaned closer and placed his long slender fingers on her neck.

A small gasp left her mouth at the contact. His fingers were rough but smooth at the same time.

"How long have I been asleep?", She asked him. "About four hours now", he answered as he massaged her neck.

Her neck was soft and he was sure he could easily snap her neck. "Sorry", she apologized and he frowned. Why was she apologizing? "Why the apology?", He asked her. She shook her head and winced at the pain.

He placed a hand under her chin and the second one on her head. "Sorry", he said. She frowned and then screamed when he twisted her head to the left.

"Fuck!", She cried out. "Chill", he massaged her neck. She bit her lower lip as she tried not to moan as the pain reduced.

The captain walked in, "Capo, we've landed". "We're coming", he told him and he nodded before leaving.

"I think you'll be able to move your neck", he said as he removed his hands from her neck. She turned her neck to the side. The pain was bearable. "Thank you", she said as they stood up.

"My pleasure. Let's get going", he said and ushered her out if the jet.

Even though he was not a good man, he was going to try to be good for her.

Arieon stared at the large estate in shock. They haven't even driven in yet but the view from afar was magnificent. She was sure that this estate was three times larger than her father's estate.

As they drove into the estate, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. There were three large water fountains that were the sizes of giants. She counted three large mansions before she laid eyes on the largest mansion she had ever laid her eyes on.

Enzo stepped out of the car and walked to the other side to open it for her. "My lady", he held out his hand for her. She took it and stepped out of the car.

Enzo turned to his guards and said something in Italian but she didn't bother to listen. He turned to her, "I won't be back for a few days. Don't wander into every room you see. Agatha will help you".

She frowned. What did he mean by wandering? Who's Agatha? "Capo!", Ten guards saluted him as they approached the large double doors of the mansion. She stared at the magnificent glass doors. They were made of rich mahogany wood enclosed in the finest glass with spiral designs of stones.

She was more than sure that the door alone could cost more than a fortune.

How rich was he?

"Behave", Enzo said to her and turned to leave. She watched as he walked back to the car and stepped in. Eight of the ten guards followed suit and go into other cars before driving after their boss.

"Signora, please follow me", one of the guards said. Without a word, Arieon followed the man. The other guard had gone to get Agatha.

Taking in the magnificent view of the main hall. It had a grand staircase in the middle that led to the middle floor with golden railings. She felt as if she walked into a palace. The theme of the house of Victorian and grand.

'So beautiful', she thought as she followed the guard up the stairs. The pain in her ankles made her to remember the devilish shoes she was putting on. She was about to cry as she realized how many stairs were left before they could reach the second floor.

"I can carry you if you want", the guard offered. It seemed that he had a slight problem with speaking English fluently because he was stopping to get an English word out.

At least he was nice.

"There's no need to help. We're almost there", she told him with a smile. He nodded and turned back to his front. He wondered what his Capo was doing with this woman.

She wasn't in his league at all. Capo went for dumb bitches who only knew how to please in bed and nothing else. This woman was different, she had respect and it was something the guards weren't used to.

The same question was on every guard's mind, why was she here?

"This is your room", he led her to a room at the far end of the hallway. It had a large cream door. It looked new and it had golden spirals at the edges.

"Thank you", she said and opened the door. Her jaw nearly hit the floor as she beheld what was displayed.

This was the largest room she'd ever step foot in. She never knew that a room could be this large. Was it even normal?

The guard had already left so she had the moment to herself.

She looked around the room in awe and didn't dare to move from her spot.

The walls were eggshell white with spirals of gold that formed flowers. In the middle of the room was a large queen sized bed with white bed spreads and a dark purple blanket.

There were two white nightstands by each side of the bed. Each of them had a moon shape lamp. An alarm clock was on the left hand side while a small stack of books was on the other side.

There was a walk-in closet with mirrors as doors. "This is beautiful", she gasped as she walked into the bathroom. It was too big to be called a bathroom. She felt as if she was a princess.

"Madam". She turned around and walked out of the bathroom to see a beautiful lady standing in her room. She had thick black hair that stopped at her elbows. Her green eyes were beautiful and her lips were a beautiful curve.

She looked to be around twenty four if not older. She looked nice.

"Hi", Arieon waved a little. She wasn't a fan of new people but she was willing to try. "Madam,I'm Agatha", the young woman said. She had quite a British accent. 'No wonder her features were exquisite', Arieon thought. "I'm Arieon", she said to her.

Agatha was surprised to see that this woman was the person her boss was going to marry. When Enzo told her about the marriage, she thought he was going to marry a slut or a money seeking bitch.

This woman standing in front of her was a woman who wouldn't be able to withstand the tantrums and anger of her boss.

"Madam, I've prepared dinner. You must be hungry", Agatha said. "Please call me Arieon. You're older than me so I feel weird when you call me Madam", Arieon said with a nervous chuckle.

With a smile, Agatha nodded. "Dinner?". Arieon nodded, "Of course. Let me first change into a slippers". Agatha nodded and assisted her to open her suitcase while Arieon removed the death traps fr her leg. She moaned as she fe on the bed.

Just as she expected, the bed was soft but it extremely soft. She was sure that she'd sleep peacefully this night.

"Here you go", Agatha helped her slip on her slippers. "Thank you", she said and stood up. She felt more relaxed and free now that she was not wearing those devilish shoes.

The two women walked out of the room and went down the stairs. "This mansion is beautiful", Arieon said with admiration. "The Capo has a nice taste in things", Agatha said. "If I may ask, why do you guys call him Capo?", Arieon asked her as they entered the dining room. There was a large long table in the middle with chairs arranged round it.

"That's the Italian name for boss", Agatha said with a small smile. "Oh, I get it", Arieon said. "Take your seat, I'll bring your food for you", Agatha said and she shook her head. "I'd rather do it myself", Arieon said. "I know but it's my job as a maid", Agatha told her. Not wanting to argue with her, Arieon sighed and took a seat at the side of the table.

With a small smile, Agatha went to get her food. "Capo is not really a fan of foreign food but I hope you like it", Agatha said as she placed a plate of steamy hot lasagna in front of her.

The amazing smell was enough to make Arieon drool and the sight alone, she knew she was going to enjoy the food.

"Thank you so much", Arieon said and she smiled. "I will go to your room and help you arrange your closet", Agatha said and turned to leave.

After dinner, Arieon carried the plate to the kitchen and stopped in her tracks. The kitchen was too big to be called a kitchen. It was luxurious and beautiful.

"I feel like I'm Barbie in the dream house", Arieon muttered as she went to drop the plate in the dishwasher.

Feeling tired, she made her way back to her room and went to change into a night dress.

She sat on her bed and pulled her knees up to her chest as she thought about her family.

She missed her sisters so much. "I wish you guys were here", she mumbled as she looked outside the large window to see the dark sky. The sky was like a black blanket designed with tiny diamonds that glittered with every movement.

How beautiful was God's creation? She always wondered how God created such a beautiful thing.

She wondered if her sisters were looking at the same sky as her. "I really miss you", she mumbled.
