They arrived at her family home in less than an hour. Matteo was silent throughout the journey, he didn't know what to say so he just kept himself quiet.
Amara was thinking about her father as she walked through the grand entrance. She remembered all the nooks and crannies of their large house where she would play as a child with her dad. At that moment it all looked meaningless. She didn't feel happy there anymore, not without her dad.
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
