Chapter 4: Persistent Bastard

Frozen on her feet, Georgia stared at Primo with her wide eyes blinking twice. The last thing she knew was she was getting imprisoned, which was the reason she was wailing! But now… she’s in an open place! Damn, she’s even in the same roof with this man!

“Have you considered the kiss already? Why are you looking at me like you've just been mesmerized?” how he had the guts to utter those words needs to be studied, seriously. Primo’s grin never left, and his confidence is too overwhelming with his arm on the threshold.

As if thunder occurred behind her, Georgia flinched out of irritation. She was supposed to fear this guy, after all, he's the boss of–probably a gangster family. But no! The moment he triggered her yesterday, other than fear, something adds up to it–and it’s how she started to get irritated with his tease!

But then again, she knew she is not yet bold enough to refute those teases with the real emotion she’s feeling. Hence, as much as she could, she tried to calm down and answered politely as she lifted her left hand to show him.

“Again, I’m about to get married, Boss.” Georgia spoke as she slightly bended her head forward. 

“Hmm?” hearing that sound from him, Georgia was opted to raise her head back to him only to find him looking at her hand with puzzle on the face.

“You see this ring–” Georgia was about to say more, but she ended up in utter disbelief when she found her fingers empty, quickly falling her words beneath. She was shocked and it took her seconds to recover from it. “W-Where is it? Where's my ring?” Georgia panicked as she lifted her other hand in hopes to find it.

Unfortunately, just like the left hand, it’s also empty. There's no ring to be found.

Her heart started to beat fast as panic, surprise, and confusion collided into her at once. She even tried to check the pockets on her labcoat, but nothing! There was nothing!

“No… my ring…!” while she was panicking, Primo on the other hand just enjoyed the scene before his eyes. Georgia went back in the room, looking for the ring on the bed and every corner in this room. Sweats started bulge in her temple, and she couldn't express the overwhelming feelings building up in her other than fidgeting and walking back and forth.

“I remember it… so well, I have it with me… always!” Georgia murmured as she felt jittery as a second pass by and still haven't found it. How could she lost it?! That ring marked her future! That ring was the hard-earned money of Lawrence! She just couldn’t accept she lost it—

“Oh, I threw it out.” Casually, acting so innocent, as if what he has done didn't cost someone's life, Primo spoke all of a sudden almost nonchalantly. Hearing those four mere words, Georgia halted. Heavy weight started to step on her small body.

“What?” her chilling voice replaced the jitter as slowly, she turned around him. Her siren eyes looked empty, but at the same time, it carries the willingness to do worse at this moment.

“I threw it out by the sea.” Primo answered as he casted a quick glance in the window where the landscape of the sea is found. Primo had his hands on the pocket of his pants while his eyes looked lazily at her, although contrary to the smile etched on his lips.

The smile that Georgia wanted to rip off of his face.

“You bastard… why…” with the life in her voice diminishing, Georgia spoke as her palm slowly form a ball of knuckles. Gradually, she began to narrow the gap distance between them. However, the bastard’s reply got her feet nailed on the floor.

“Because I know so well that you would do the same soon.” He replied without an ounce of regret traced in his face, neither in his voice. He spoke and act as if he did the most respectable thing ever.

Georgia couldn't help but to let the cold snicker escape from her lips. “You’re one delusional man, Primo Bonsignore. Not a chance you can change my heart. Not even a millimeter of my skin you can ever touch me again.”

“Fuck that, either way, I’m still getting married to the man I love the most.” Georgia remarked. It felt so refreshing to finally express–even to cuss like that! Hah! This Boss Primo? He deserve that cuss. He did her wrong and the worst things.

But then again, whatever she said didn't go through that man. Instead of feeling wrong, he was trying to push her to the limits even more. With the grin on his face, he stared right through her hazel-brown eyes and said,

“That’s it, Mi amore, show me how much of a bitch you are–I would like you even more.” Hearing that tightened her grips on her palm, digging deep her nails on her skin. She could feel the holes in her head steaming because of how infuriating this jackass is. “And you getting married?” 

“We’ll see about that.” Primo added. And for a moment there, Georgia felt something off by the way he uttered those words. Deep within his voice, there seemed to be a menacing premonition in it. 

“Don't you dare lay a hand on him. I swear to god, I wouldn't let you touch him–even just a strand of his hair.” Georgia quickly said as she looked at him with her piercing gazes. But then again, he just smirked at her.

“Or else what?” Primo responded, challenging her, as he slowly took a step toward her direction. “Or else you'll do what, Mi amore?” he asked further. As the closer he gets, the suffocating the surroundings for Georgia gets, too. Georgia followed his eyes, resulting in her head lifting because of the difference of their height.

And shamelessly, Primo stopped with only a few inches distance between. Then, he bended his upper body forward slightly, having their gazes on eye level. With his close presence, Georgia's respiratory system malfunctioned for a moment–she couldn't breathe!

“What can a gorgeous doctor do to me, hmm?” whispering, he asked, as those hunter eyes gazed at hers. However, something not far below seemed to call for his attention. Primo’s eyes eventually gave in and looked at those lips that looked so inviting. 

“Tempt me, I guess.” As those four words left his mouth, in just a second, those sultry pink lips were then captured by his.

Standing frozen, Georgia was shocked with her widened eyes. She couldn’t move. Her body became stiff and weakened. What the hell?! That happened so quickly! 

The surrounding that seemed to spun in motion watched it unfold, while her consciousness was trying to recover from shock. But it was needless to do so, when she suddenly felt a stung in her lips as if urging her to respond to the kiss. With the remaining strength left on her body, Georgia gathered all of her power to indeed respond…

With a crunchy slap. The kiss broke as the two chased for their breath, until a second after, she heard a snicker.

“I was right. That was sweet, indeed.” Primo commented with a proud face as his right cheek reddened at the impact.
