Enzo's POVDo not know what Anna wants to discuss with me alone. I hope she is not going to reject my love for her. However, I cannot force her to love me. I am used to getting rejected by Amelia, so I am preparing my heart for the blow when Anna tells me that she does not feel the same about me. I know her father told us that we are love birds, but I do not know if it is true. I need to talk to her to find out whether she loves me or not. I am feeling a little shaky as we walk up to the garden and go and sit on a bench. I am preparing my heart for the rejection. I know how it feels to love a woman who never loves you back. Maybe if I beg her, just give me a chance to get to know me better, and she will give me a chance."So did you mean what you said inside there? Do you love me?" Anna asks. "Of course, I mean every word I say. I love you. I know that it must be sudden for you, but I want you to understand that I am not a man who will give my heart lightly to any woman I know. I hav
Anna's POVI do not know who is more shocked about the revelation coming out of Enzo's mouth, him or me. Does he truly love me? I do not know. Did you just say it to anger my father? I do not know. My brother is looking at us curiously, smiling from ear to ear. My father looks at us in disbelief. Well, if I tell anybody that I am in love with Enzo, I do not believe that they will believe me because they will think that it happened too fast. I do not care if he loves me. I will answer his love because I know that I have never loved anyone before in my life. I just hope that he is not only looking for a new love to take the place of Amelia. However, I do not look like Amelia. Amelia was blonde and beautiful with blue eyes. I have reddish brown hair with green eyes, and I do not think that I can compare to her. I do not believe that I am beautiful. My father tells me every day how ugly I am and that I look just like my mother. I do not believe that my father thinks that there is a man i
Enzo's POVI have had enough of this old Don! How dare he speak to Anna in that manner? I do not want to hear another word from him. I swear I'll kill him right here and right now. I have kept quiet because I felt that it had nothing to do with me, as it was a family matter. Rico tries to stand up for his sister, but his father does not listen to him. His father is just going on and on about how awful Anna is and that she is just like her mother and only good enough to help out until her brother can take over. However, before I could say anything. Rico has had enough."That is enough, Father! If you don't stop talking to my sister this way, I am going to move out of this house with her, and you will be stuck here alone. She is nothing like that whore of an ex-wife of yours. For years, she has been doing our job, looking after us while you play golf and I drank myself to death every night, partying and having women over. She never let us down like your ex-wife did. And don't tell me t
Anna's POVEnzo arrives at the coffee shop, and we have a quick coffee before we head to our house. I hope my father doesn't make a big scene about what happened, but I know him and I know that he's not going to be very happy with my brother and me. He may forgive Rico, but he is going to go off on me because of what Rico had to endure. Of course, it would be my fault because I always have to be my brother's keeper. As we walk into the house, my father is waiting for us in the sitting room. He jumps up and runs to Rico."Are you okay, my son? I am so sorry I did not answer my phone. I was playing golf with our allies to make ties stronger with them," My father says. He turns to me immediately, but Rico jumps in between."Father, I am fine. Do not go off on Anna. She saved my life," Rico says. "Saved your life? Look at you. Look how you look. You are obviously in a state of shock. I do not know how she could allow you to do your first skill without me being there to support you. You a
Anna's POVI cannot stand the thought of being away from Enzo. Can somebody fall so quickly in love? I know now why everybody judges Dante and Isabella. Everybody thought that they were falling in love way too quickly, but they don't know that love can come at first sight. Enzo impressed me from the start. I do not know how he feels about me, but I do hope that he likes me as much as I like him. I wish that we could become friends, and maybe later he can learn how to love me. I know that he lost his heart to Amelia. However, she is not around anymore. I know he has not forgotten about Amelia, but I have to give us a chance. I'm going to invite him to stay with us for a few days because he still cannot move into the Moretti Mansion, as they will have to go and clean it up.I hope Enzo will accept it because I want him to be close to me and my brother. I want him to become a part of our family. He is the Don of the Moretti family. I am glad that those evil people are gone and out of our
Enzo's POVI never thought that I would fall in love again, but this time I know this feeling that I have is true love and not admiration like it was with Amelia. I cannot take my eyes off Anna, who is supporting her brother. Her brother has turned out not to be a bad guy, and I'm glad that he won't take responsibility for the family in the future. I am glad that not everything will rest on the shoulders of Anna. Anna is delicate. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. I know she is a strong woman, but she looks so tired, as if she is tired of carrying the burdens of her family on her shoulders. I walk over to them as I know that maybe she needs my help. I can see that her brother is still upset, but I'm glad that he has taken responsibility and that he has killed those people who wanted to hurt him. It is good for him to learn that he is now responsible for the family, and his sister cannot always take his responsibilities away from him. "How do you feel, Rico? Are you
