Lucia's Arrival

In an airport filled with people moving to various areas, A tall slim woman, about twenty-three years old, with long black curly hair and pale skin. Dressed in a white crop top, black palazzo trousers, and a black coat. wearing sunglasses and her luggage in her hand. Walking majestically towards the exit of the airport. Lucia had just returned to Italy from London by the sudden calls from her father.

She had stayed in London for many years, ever since her mother died and her father remarried.

She takes out her phone and dials his number which wasn't going through.

She noticed the handsome-looking man dressed in a black suit and his curly black hair covering one side of his forehead to his eyes.

"Is he coming to approach me?" She thought to herself and smiled shyly. Quickly, she arranged her hair waiting for him to reach her.

"Miss Roberto, I'm Ricardo. your bodyguard we are assigned by Mr.Roberto to escort you back home." The man said.

she frowned. but Ricardo didn't notice because of the sunglasses she had on.

"He is a common watchdog?" She asked herself.

She then noticed she was surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

"What's with the scene? why so many bodyguards?" She said. angrily. She wasn't only angry because her dad assigned many bodyguards to her, She was also angry the handsome man was just a common bodyguard.

"It's best if you don't ask questions and come with us miss " Ricardo replied and made a hand gesture inclining "Let's go."

She walked past them while they followed behind her. bringing her luggage.

Four bodyguards entered the black SUV while she and Ricardo entered the bulletproof membrane Lamborghini and drove off.

Lucia could help but reminisce on Ricardo's handsome face she saw earlier. If he wasn't her bodyguard, she would have flirted with him.

She ended up smiling to herself in the car.

She watched Ricardo set their location to her Father's villa. She saw how long the distance from the airport to the villa was, she was already traveling sick from the airplane and she had mixed feelings about seeing her father and stepmother just yet. He sent her to study in London ten years ago because she disagreed with their marriage. she was still angry at them for getting married immediately after her mother's death. Her stepmother used to be her mum's best friend but got married to her dad immediately after her mother died.

Who else wouldn't suspect the rush of things?

"Ricardo." She called out.

"Yes, miss." He answered respectfully, his eyes still fixed on the road, turning the steering slowly holding it firmly.

"Can we lodge in a nearby hotel and go to the villa tomorrow? I'm really...." She didn't finish her statement when Ricardo answered immediately in a cold tone

"No."

The audacity of this man. How dare he refuse her orders? Provoked by his arrogance, she flared up and yelled. "Stop the car now."

"Miss Robert, please behave. I'm only carrying out an order from the boss. I can't let you stay in a hotel tonight." Ricardo explained briefly.

but Lucia, a spoilt brat who always got everything she wanted didn't listen.

instead, she threatened to open the door and jump out.

"Miss don't create a scene." he scolded.

She pretends not to listen and then tries to open the door but noticed it has been locked by Ricardo automatically.

Provoked, she removed her heels and begins to hit the glass. She wondered if the glass was made of rocks. it didn't even crack

She then stopped and thinks for a while.

She was in the back seat, she wanted to slow his driving so she could delay time a bit.

The sits up a little and moved closer to the little space beside the driver and passenger seat. All this while, Ricardo watched her through the mirror. "What is she doing?" he asks himself rhetorically.

Then Lucia already moved from the back seat and was in the front passenger seat. The car made a slip and Ricardo tightened his hands on the wheel.

"Miss, you're interrupting my focus." This time, he was angry. She had made them almost crash.

The bodyguards following them behind also stopped abruptly. They wondered what transpired between them in the car. Why the funny movement?.but then, they continued driving as the car in front of them becomes stable on the road again.

"You should focus more on your job and stop looking at me." She mocked and grinned a bit. Then she gave a satisfying look. After a while, she couldn't help but stare at him as he drives the car diligently into the hold-up, She didn't move her eyes from his face.

Ricardo, Wondered why she looked at him in that manner. 

"Is there anything on my face?" He said coldly.

Then she realized his eyes weren't on the road and he caught her staring at him.

Lucia sits up and cleared her throat.

Then her eyes were on the road. "This holdup isn't ending any time soon, why don't we just sleep in the hotel as I suggested earlier." She said.

Ricardo didn't want the situation to go in her favor. he didn't reply. Instead, he horned the car loudly.

"What was that?" Lucia said, covering her ears against the loud noise.

Ricardo smiled internally, he finally got back at her for her actions earlier.

It's been almost an hour, they've been in the holdup. Lucia had an earpiece plugged into both ears. She was already fast asleep.

Ricardo noticed her head was placed wrongly.

He turned to her and arranged her head properly, then he adjusts the seat slowly so she doesn't wake up. Her coat shifted a little. He leans close to her and was about to do it when her eyes popped open and she said. "Are you trying to take advantage of a sleeping woman?" He jerked up immediately and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry." He apologized with a straight face.

She sits upright and looked through the windscreen.

"Still on the holdup?" 

"Yes, but. I've contacted Mr.Roberto. We can stop at a hotel tonight."

"Yes." She was screaming inside her. happily.

In a big master bedroom designed with a simple interior.

Mr. Roberto dropped the telephone slowly and turned to the woman with blonde hair in her mid-forties who strolled into the room. She had a displeased look on her face.

"Roberto, how come you didn't inform me about Lucia's Arrival?" Mrs. Roberto said angrily.
