“Irish, you can go around seeing the various facilities in this mansion, don't be shy to do anything you want.”
“Yes I do, thank you so much madam, but I think, I want to visit the library first because I love reading books and studying.”
“Oh, okay, That's good for you.”
I went to the library and saw many very interesting and rare books in this mansion, which I had wanted to read for a long time.
“Wow, this is so complete, the Maxwell boys must be thrilled to be in this library, if only they had the same hobbies as I do.”
“Yes, of course, I also have the same hobby as you Irish.”
“What?”
I was so surprised to hear the sound, that the big book I had taken fell.
“I'm sorry if I surprised you.”
“That's okay Romano.”
“You are so beautiful Irish, you look perfect, I hope you will stay longer and happy here.”
Suddenly, I feel my cheeks blush because of Romano's compliment on me, I've never interacted so closely with a man as handsome as him, that it makes me nervous.
“T-thank you so much, Romano.”
I rushed to tidy up the fallen book earlier, but Romano was still behind me while still watching me.
“I like you, Irish, you look so perfect, you make me want to always be with you.”
But suddenly, I saw Sergio who immediately entered the library, with a serious look and seemed full of anger.
“You need to always be careful with him, you will never know what will happen later, forget all that evil seduction.”
Sergio looks serious to take the book, while he seems to pay attention to me.
“What do you mean, Sergio? I just want to spend my time with the Irish, we also don't have any blood ties.”
“Yes, of course, I know about it, but you are not a good man and very dangerous for anyone including her, I know you Romano.”
Romano looks very annoyed, and he keeps gritting his teeth, he looks so emotional.
Is what they both said true? I didn't know if everything Sergio had said was true, then I would be sad.
Because from the start I felt I had fallen in love with Romano at the first sight.
Sergio and Romano have good looks and strong charisma, but they also have an aura that is no less powerful.
It's just that the aura feels different, and I feel intensely attracted to the Romano for the first time, but I want Sergio too.
And I think Romano has been watching me from the start, so maybe my love is reciprocated, but I don't know who he is.
Whether he's a bad guy, a playboy, or whatever, I don't know.
But if that were all to happen, then I would be very disappointed.
“Irish, you always need to be careful with anything that happened.”
Sergio patted my shoulder and continued to stare at me coolly, then he quickly left.
“You don't listen to what Sergio is saying, he never understands anything and likes to accuse people, you better ignore what he says.”
“Okay, yes, I will try.”
“I'm also not as bad as he has been talking about, it's just a joke, he likes to put on a serious expression when joking.”
I just kept staring at Romano, who was talking to me, but was everything he said true? I do not know.
Earlier I also saw Sergio convey everything to me very seriously, it was very visible from the strokes on his handsome face.
“Do you believe him? Irish.”
“Not really, Romano.”
Romano kept getting closer to me until I kept walking back towards the table and dropping the things on it because my hands were shaking.
“Just relax, Irish, has anyone done this to you before?”
“Doing what? Of course, no one has ever done this to me, so I want you to stop it.”
“Irish, you're so beautiful.”
I keep moving Romano's strong hands that keep touching my face and playing with my long hair, this makes me uncomfortable.
Then I heard Romano's phone ring like someone was calling him.
“Oh damn! Someone's bothering me! We'll talk Irish later.”
I just nodded my head, paying attention to Romano who looked very annoyed because someone called him as if disturbing the moment for both of us.
Then I tried to forget it all, maybe I should never pay attention to Sergio and Romano, I should be able to forget them both because I'm afraid unwanted things will happen.
I looked for some good books to study, and I found a perfect variety of books in this library.
I read it in a big, comfortable chair until I felt sleepy and fell asleep.
“You are my Irish, you are my mate, and we will be together forever.”
“Who is that?”
I felt very surprised, like a male voice whispered to me, telling me that I was his forever and was fated to be his mate.
It took me surprised, and I also touched my lips and felt a warmth like someone had just kissed me.
“What happened? Who did all that to me?”
I was perplexed and starting to feel uncomfortable in this Maxwell family library.
Then I immediately left the room to prepare various things for tomorrow to go to university.
“Irish,”
How surprised I was when I turned and saw Sergio, who was there and standing in front of the door.
“Have you been standing here all this time?”
“Yes, of course, Irish because I want to find an important book for my assignment tomorrow.”
“Oh okay, excuse me, I need to go.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“I would like to tidy up my things, to prepare myself for university tomorrow.”
Sergio continued to stare at me and let go of his hand that was previously holding mine.
Then I left him, and in another room, I saw Romano, who looked happy.
“Irish, will you go with me? I'm free, my mom and dad have also left to take care of their business in Germany.”
“Sorry but I can't Romano, I have to prepare my things and study for university tomorrow.”
“Come on sweetie, it's so boring, it's better if you go out and have fun with me!"
“But, I can't do it, Romano.”
“Come on, don't refuse my invitation.”
Romano didn't listen to me, he pushed me even more by pulling my hand tightly.
“I want to study and rest at home.”
“You'll do that later after coming with me, you won't regret Irish.”
Today marks the first day back after what happened last week. A lot has changed since then. Since we've gotten married, my mother has completely stopped trying to convince me to marry her son, although it has been clear throughout the past weeks that she hates him. But she has also been very understanding towards Sergio, even if she hasn't accepted us yet.My father is currently living with us, as my brother had kicked him out of the apartment last week. He didn't seem very happy about it, especially since it meant that his boyfriend would have to give up their house to live with him. I didn't mind that much though. The less attention that I get from my family, the better.This morning, I decided to wake up early so that I could get some breakfast ready before everyone woke up. I quickly made myself breakfast and put it in a bowl for Sergio. I then proceeded to walk around our apartment getting ready for the day. I was brushing my teeth when the bathroom door burst open and Sergio ra
"Baby, you know that I won't do that ever again. Never. You know that I will always protect you. Always, always. Forever and ever." Sergio reassured me.I nodded in response."Do you remember when you said you needed a break?" I asked quietly."Yeah. Of course I do. Why? Are you feeling better now?" He asked me, rubbing circles on my back."Kind of, yeah." I replied shakily."Well, it's late and I think it's time for us both to sleep. Come on, let's get up and make some coffee so that we can get some rest." Sergio suggested.I reluctantly opened my eyes and slid out of the covers. I followed Sergio out of the room and we entered the kitchen. We poured ourselves two cups of coffee, drinking them gratefully. After putting the cups in the sink, we carried them over to the sofa and sat down."Do you want to talk about it?" Sergio asked me gently, taking my hand in his."Not really." I admitted. "Maybe later?"Sergio smiled at me reassuringly. I leaned forward and kissed him softly, trying
"Wait. What?" I interrupted. "When did that happen?! Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving? What about us? Where were we during those years? Did I know what you were doing? Why did you hide that from me? What happened between you and my brother?"Sergio closed his eyes."You know that it was my fault...you know that I didn't mean for him to become involved with you. It was my choice to leave you alone. But he insisted that you came back with me. That he loved you enough to be willing to sacrifice everything and everything. I tried to convince him that it was in his best interest to stay away. But he wouldn't listen. He was stubborn and refused to change his mind.""He convinced my father that you two were meant to be together. He told my father that you were perfect for each other and he was determined to get married sooner rather than later. That he would wait until you were both eighteen and that it would be worth it because he was sure you'd love him as much as he loved you.
For a few minutes, we just stared at each other, not saying a word. I decided that now was a good time as any to ask him about his relationship with Sergio."So, you and Sergio....?" I started hesitantly.Sergio looked up and stared at me for a few seconds before turning away, his expression unreadable."Yes, we're together." He replied. "But it won't work out." He added when he saw how shocked I looked. "We love each other, I know that. But you'll never be able to understand us like you do. You don't know everything about us. You've known us for all of a day.""How long have I been here?" I asked, not understanding why we were talking about this. Wasn't that supposed to be my question? I had the feeling that I already knew the answer."About seven days." Sergio replied calmly."Seven days?!" I yelled, surprised. "And you didn't think that it was important to tell me that I've been unconscious for seven days?""We thought you needed time to adjust. We wanted to give you some space to
Tears kept spilling from my eyes as I tried to run harder than ever before to catch up with them. Suddenly, I found myself at an empty street. I looked both ways to try and find any sign of the couple and I spotted a familiar figure sitting under a lamppost a little way ahead of me. I broke into a sprint and rushed towards him. As I approached, I began to realize that the man wasn't wearing a jacket, so I figured he must have been freezing.When I got close enough, I could see that he was looking straight ahead with his arms resting on his knees, completely unmoving. I slowly came to stand right next to him, hoping that he would acknowledge my presence. But, he didn't. His expression remained the same and I knew that he was ignoring me. For a second, I stood there, staring at him without moving, completely dumbstruck by what was happening."Are...Are you alright?" I whispered, afraid to make a sudden move lest he would snap out of whatever trance he was currently in.He didn't reply
"Not really. I don't know. I'll probably just hang out with the guys, but that might take a while." I answered."Okay. I'll pick you up at seven then." He said. "How does that sound?""Perfect." I said, smiling slightly. "I'll see you then.""See you then." He responded, hanging up.I stared at my phone for a few minutes longer. I knew there was nothing to worry about. He wouldn't come to pick me up if he knew something was bothering me. He was just being friendly. After a few moments though, I realized that it was already nine in the morning and that the time to wake up everyone else was approaching rapidly."Great. Now everyone else will wake up." I said with a sigh. I picked up my phone and dialled the number of the person who most definitely was not going to appreciate waking up this early. She answered almost immediately."Irish, I was expecting you to call earlier. Is everything OK?" She asked me."Yes, I'm fine. I just woke up and wanted to check if you were awake.""Ah yes. T
