"I'm not in trouble, am I?" I asked as I shut the door of the car and strapped in my seat belt.

"Why would you think that?" Lorenzo asked as the car purred to life and he drove off.

"Because you could have sent someone else to come to pick me up, but you didn't. Were you afraid that I would have run away and you lost the deal, or did you just miss me?" I grinned.

"The deal was you and Clara escaping; if only you left, it doesn't count. And why would I miss you? You've been a thorn in my side since we met." He said, completely focused on the road.

"Come on, don't be shy. According to a certain someone, you've been talking quite fondly about me." I wiggled my brows at him.

"What nonsense has Pablo been spewing now?" He groaned.

How did he know I had spoken with Pablo? Didn't know, didn't care. He probably had cameras watching me, or Sylvia had reported my every move to him.

"Well, it's not nonsense if he was saying the truth. Was he rig

    "Are you crazy? You can't be thinking about going to a club! You're too young!" Logan scowled at Gabi."Too young? I'm twenty, for f*ck's sake. I can do what I want. And no one has any right to tell me no, especially you." She snapped as she yanked her arm away from him."What about the boss? There's no way he's allowing you guys—""He did." I smirked."What?" He gasped."Pablo allowed us go clubbing. I mean, why won't he? We're adults. As long as we don't get into trouble and we get back by one pm, he's fine." I shrugged."That's... That's... You guys can't seriously be thinking about going to the club to hook up with other men. You are engaged to Silvano, and you are Lorenzo's girlfriend. They would lose their sh*t if they found out what you're planning. It's practically cheating!" He barked."Sh*t, you're so dramatic and loud. Nobody's hooking up with anybody. That's so beneath us." I rolled my eyes."But you said Gabi might get lucky tonight." He hissed."Blame your dirty

    "Great, just f*cking great." I mumbled under my breath."That's... That's... She's your stepsister! How could you think like that about her?" Clara gasped."You or anyone don't have the right to tell me how I should and should not feel for somebody." Michael sneered."Sorry, but that's immoral and disgusting." She crinkled her nose as she stepped back."You—""Let's go." I grabbed Clara's hand and quickly dragged her away."I can't believe Michael still has a crush on you even after he found out that you're his sister. Did you know about it?" She frowned once we entered her room."Yes. I knew." I nodded."And you didn't tell me! Are you crazy? For heaven's sake, you're living with him under the same roof. Who knows what he will try to do to you? Have you told Pablo or Lorenzo?" She asked."Not yet," I replied."You're really crazy. Have you forgotten that disaster of a date? If you continue entertaining him, he could and he will hurt you. You know what? If you aren't telling

    "I have no idea what you're talking about." I said, feigning ignorance."Don't lie to me. I know he made you invite me because he thinks that I don't have any friends. I should have known he would do that." Gabi scowled."Alright, yes, he told me to invite you." I confessed."I'm not interested. I can't believe he asked you to take me along like some kind of annoying little sister who is too scared to make friends on her own. Ugh, it's frustrating. Because I don't have friends doesn't mean I'm lonely. He needs to stop treating me like a kid." She yelled."He's only worried about you." I said softly."He shouldn't be. I'm fine; I don't need any stupid friends. I'm alright by myself. I'll tell Dad that he shouldn't pressure you to take me anywhere with you. You sound really excited about hanging out with Clara so you don't need a baggage tagging along. I'm sure it will be really awkward too." She huffed."I think you're messing it up. I didn't ask you to join us because Pablo made

    Michael burst into laughter, and I scrunched my brows."What is so funny?" I asked."Sorry, that's just the most ridiculous thing I could ever think my mom could do. Fall in love? My mom! That's crazy!" He chuckled."Why would you say that? She might be a pain in the ass, but I'm sure even someone like her is capable of falling in love. She just hasn't found that person yet." I said."My mom can never fall in love. It's simply not in her DNA. She's completely incapable of feeling love for anything other than money and power. It's not an insult; she would say the same thing if you confronted her." He replied."But she loves you. Don't deny it because I've seen how she treats you. It's completely different from how she treats Gabi." I frowned."Why won't she love her investment? She sees me as more profitable and relevant than my sister because I'm male. I don't mind because I'm only keeping up with her attitude because I find her beneficial to me. It's a win-win situation." He sh

    Though I wanted to run to my room and lock myself in there, I knew I couldn't. I still needed to get information about Beatrice.I let out a deep breath, steeling my nerves, and lifted my head."Michael," I said."Yes," he replied."Do you think my coming here is straining Pablo and Beatrice's relationship? They've constantly been arguing since I came here. I mean, I understand why she's angry with me. I don't think I'll be all smiles and giggles if my husband brings his ex-girlfriend's daughter into my house. I might not like Beatrice, but I don't want her happy marriage to suffer because of me." I sighed, feigning sadness."Like their marriage was ever happy. They are strangers living in the same house. He doesn't give a sh*t about her, and neither does she." He snorted."They don't? That's odd. I thought you said she was possessive about him? She literally sent you to warn me to back off when she thought there was something between me and Pablo. Surely that means there's some

    "You'll keep bugging me if I say no, right?" I asked, and Michael nodded like a puppy. "If this will get you out of my hair, then fine. It better be worth it, though. If you serve me trash, I'll throw you and it in the garbage bin." I scowled. "You should be worried that you will fall in love with me because of how good my food is. I heard girls prefer men that can cook." I winked as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen. "Even if you put a love potion in it, it won't work." I scoffed. "I might try that. I know a good voodoo doctor who can help me with a good success rate." He joked. "Black magic doesn't work on me." I rolled my eyes as we got to the kitchen, and I sat on a stool by the kitchen island. "So what would you like to eat?" He asked as he opened the large pantry. "I thought you said you were making pasta for me?" I asked as I wondered how I was going to bring up the conversation of Beatrice without seeming suspicious. "I meant, what type of pasta d
