CHAPTER 6

ROSA

I don't know if I had lost my senses. How could I agree to move in with a stranger just like that

I had panicked when I found out that I had given my properties to Leonardo without knowing it, I didn't know what to do, I panicked and then the only person that crossed my mind was Matteo

I knew men wouldn't do anything free for any lady and that was why I came up with the idea of proposing marriage to Matteo

I was shocked and confused when he wasn't interested in my proposal, any man would have jumped on the opportunity to take advantage, I guess he wasn't “any other man”, he was really different.

Standing in front of his mansion, I felt tiny and out of place but there was no going back for me, I had a mission to complete and until I was done with it I wasn't going to give up.

The gates suddenly opened, disrupting my train of thoughts. A middle aged man who I guessed was the butler approached me

“Miss Rosa?”

“That's me sir” I answered nervously

“You can call me Theo. This way ma'am” he gestured towards the door, inviting me inside

He took my bags from me and when I tried to protest he reassured me that the bags were in safe hands, although that wasn't the reason for my protest

I was shown my room, taken on a house tour but I hadn't seen any sign of Matteo in the house, didn't he want to see me?, I wondered.

I asked Theo where Matteo was and I haven't seen him since I got here but I wasn't given a direct answer. I decided to put myself to work, I arranged my clothes, took my bath and when I was done with everything I was doing I suddenly felt bored

I decided to go downstairs and see if I could do anything with my time while waiting for Matteo to show up.

I tried helping the chefs in the kitchen but they won't let me do anything and I didn't want to sit idle waiting for Matteo to come back

“It's fine, I just want to help” I pulled the pot once again but the head chef pulled at the other end too, not letting go of the pot

“We have it under control ma'am” he wiped the sweat on his forehead. He and the others looked like they were going to pee on their pants

I didn't get what they were so afraid of and I wasn't going to give up till they let me help them in the kitchen, I was bored after all, I had plenty of time to drag pots in the kitchen

“What's going on here”.

Matteo's voice rang behind me, the sound of his voice making I and the chef drop the pot to the ground in shock, the sound of the rotating pot was loud and it rang through the air

“ She came here on her own and I was just telling her that we already have everything under cover, she didn't need to bother herself” the chef fidgets

“I just want to….” I wasn't able to finish my statement as Matteo dragged me out of the kitchen into the living room

He folded his arm across his chest and raised a brow at me, waiting for me to explain myself

“I just want to prepare something for you to eat when you come back”

“That's what I have chefs for, Rosa” he gave me a stern look

“But…”, he raised his hand stopping me mid sentence

“Theo informed me that you've arrived so I quickly concluded what I was doing and rushed down here. Hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long” he said, silently closing the topic of cooking

I had things I wanted to say but I couldn't, I didn't want to get my helper anger and make him change his mind towards me.

“No, you didn't keep me waiting for long”

“Good”

Bam !

The door slammed open and a lady walked in. She looked like a model, long legs, golden tanned skin, white hair and blue eyes.

I couldn't take my eyes off her, she looked so beautiful and I was mesmerized by her beauty. Her red dress did nothing to cover her boobs that were almost outside the dress and her ass that were almost showing.

The dress was too revealing, something I could never wear.

“Matteo” she said in a song like voice

“What do you want” he answered with a scowl on his face

Seems like they knew each other, they didn't look like they could stand the sight of themselves, at least Matteo didn't look like it but I couldn't say the same for the lady.

“I came to see you baby. I missed you” she whines like a little child and drew line's on his chest

Wait a minute, what the hell was going on. She didn't notice my presence, she acted like I was invincible.

Who was she to Matteo?, is Matteo married already?, am I about to come in between someone's marriage?

Different thoughts spiral through my mind, I couldn't stop myself from thinking too much about, I didn't understand what was going on and I really wanted to get a grasp of the situation

I needed someone to explain to me what was happening and who the hell was that lady.

“Emily, we've been through this before, you can't just barge into my house and claim that you love me, you and I know that you don't and things will never work out between us”

An ex?

“We can make it work Matteo, I can't give up on us, I really love you” she protest

Matteo didn't reply her, he rubbed the bridge of his noise and any sensible person could see that he was trying to hold himself from doing something bad.

“Meet me in my room Rosa, I can't stand the sight of some people” and with that he left me with the hot lady without really explaining what was going on
