LOGINAMY’S POVWhat the hell was he talking about?What were they talking about? None of it made sense to me. At all. “I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Antonio?” I called to see if we were connected on my end. “Can you hear me?” What if they were wrong and something was about to happen to me? I looked at Carlos who didn't stop to look at me. What the fuck? “You'll hear everything when we get home, Amy.” At some point, he pitied me and spoke. “The boss is working out something as we speak. Don't ask many questions, just know you're safe. That should be all that matters to you.” Right. Somehow, he was right. My safety was all that mattered. “Right.” The word escaped my mouth. At least, I was safe. What would I have said if the opposite was the case? I took my phone out and checked a text message from Enzo who had laughing stickers all around. “Look what he just sent to me, Carlos.” He stopped the car. But this was a good moment for me and I took it as an opportunity. “No, keep
AMY POV “This place is beautiful.” Indeed, it was beautiful. I could not ask for a better place - not when this one existed. Maybe I would speak with Antonio and ask him to bring me here one of these days. “I'd ask Antonio to bring me here one of these days. Since we can't do this as often as we want to, Enzo.” “I'm glad you like this place.” “Right.” I let out. “What's up with you?” “What's up with me?” He relaxed his back against the chair and let out. “I'm so glad to see you, Amy. That's all I can say.” He sat up now and continued. “I know it makes no sense but I'm in love with you, although I thought all of these weren't going to be real or something. I can't help but think about the future we have.” Future we have. If only that were a real thing. “Huh—” I mouthed. “I didn't expect something like this to happen. Forgive me for being shocked.” I cried when he looked at me, expecting something cute to come out of my mouth. All I worried for was Antonio who could hear the who
ENZO POV The day came. The day I'd execute these plans for that lady. I woke up with a smile. How could I not? There was something good that'd go on today, and I couldn't wait for it to happen. There was an undying urge to send my brother a text message. Let him know he's about to cry. But on second thought, I didn't think that was a good idea. Not when he didn't care about the woman so much; as Amy talked about all of it being a facade. There just wasn't a need for it. “Good morning, Mr. Marino.” “Yes, Rachel.” I greeted her back. “I was wondering if you could change the timetable for today alone. I'd like some pasta packaged for me in the next three hours. I'd leave the house by then.” I explained while the woman nodded. “Yes, sir. Of course.” We parted ways after some time. While Rachel went to do what I needed, I concentrated on making calls to Silvio who needed to come with something before I left the house. “Where the fuck are you?” “Good morning, boss.” “Good morning
AMY POV After a long while of planning. Especially on my end, I was ready to see Enzo. Not today or tomorrow, next week. As according to Antonio, he had a lot of things to sort out. Things that required me to wait. Our relationship somehow blossomed. Since the first sex, we've not been so intimate again. All we've done is kiss behind closed doors, and work in a way that didn't make Madame Loretta suspect us. Although I believe she had her own suspicions - she just couldn't prove it. “Ma'am?” I looked up from the book I faced. “Yes.” The housekeeper stood before me, smiling. I smiled back, whilst wondering what the matter was. “What's up? Do you need my help with something? Why are you smiling like that?” The smile ceased now. “Sorry. Your hair is beautiful.” She switched positions before announcing. “Mr. Antonio asked to see you. He wants to have breakfast with you.” She explained and I nodded, a sigh threatening to escape my mouth while I swallowed it back and got up. “In his
ENZO POV “Did you hear from my brother?” “No. Not at all.” My secondhand man answered. “He never sent back a message. Nothing at all.” That's what I thought. He was such a coward - I scoffed while adjusting on the chair. “That's what I thought.” I couldn't hold back my thoughts. “Fucking bastard. Made me kill a man who has done nothing but snitch. Fucking bastard!” I snapped. “Take it easy on yourself, boss.” That's what I was trying to do, obviously. I didn't need him preaching to me for any reason. “What do you want to do?” Now that he asked this question, I knew this was what I would like to be asked. “About your brother.” “What do I want to do?” This was a question I asked myself. “I can't think of anything else. Only hurting that woman. That's going to send the message to him. Although I know they don't love each other, it doesn't matter because I didn't love Frank too. I just believe it's even when I take out someone from their end the same way they made me take someon
ANTONIO POV What the hell was going on? Someone banged on my door like rapture happened. I sat up on the bed and let out a sigh. “What the fuck?” My legs caught up with the door. “What the fuck is that about?” “I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep.” Carlos walked in, panting. What even was the time? I glanced at the large clock hanging on the wall. “This is only eight in the morning, Carlos. Even though it's right time for some people to wake, I'm not sure it's right time for me. You know what my day was like.” “I'm sorry, boss. But there's an emergency.” Emergency. The word snapped me out of my sleep completely. What the fuck had my brother done this time? Fear gripped me as I rushed to the opened closet, grabbed a jacket and wore it over my bare chest. “Fill me in.” “It's not what you think it is.” “What do you think I think it is?” I pushed my way through the door. “Fill me in right now.” My legs walked through the hallway, I was standing in the staircase bridge in mome
Antonio's POVMy eyes took a harsh whip around the room. Around me, each of my soldiers avoided eye contact, their shoulders hunched and eyes diverted at anything else but me. I had stepped out of the medical wing and summoned them into my study so that I would be filled in on everything that had
Amy's POVMadam Loretta’s face tightened. "She is a distraction! She""Can stay by his side and warm up his bed. That’s her job, isn't it?" Ravenna interrupted. "I don’t see why waking up to a pretty face would do anything other than help."Loretta’s whole body shook, looking ready to strike the yo
Amy's POVTwo more nights passed by, dragging at a snail’s pace. The whole thing about "house arrest" had been a joke on my side; I did not know that Madame Loretta was actually not going to let me step out of the room at all.The day after Antonio left, I tried to leave my room in the evening jus
Amy's POVI laughed. I mean, I tried to. Instead, this hoarse, cracked sound came out, deepening the awkwardness that followed the question I was just asked. My cheeks began to warm up, the heat rising all the way from my neck. Carlos continued to look at me."I’m sad, actually. Don’t worry, he’s t
