"Why are you crying?" Maya asked as she walked in hurriedly.

"This letter!" I showed it to her as I blew my nose. I was literally ugly crying at a man's letter. Have I gone crazy?

Her eyes skimmed over the piece of paper for a few minutes.

"Olive Moretti, I ask again, why are you crying?" She did not seemed moved by my show of emotions.

"I don't even know. It's just so overwhelming."I blew my nose into the tissue.

"Olive you cannot keep lying to yourself. You love him and he loves you!"

    It was a week to Christmas. Xander was making us leave earlier than I planned for this trip to Italy. He said something about an important family function to attend. So I had reshuffle my whole schedule, putting a lot more work on Chloe than she anticipated. I promised her an extra large Christmas bonus and all was well again."All packed up?" He asked as I zipped up mine and Arya's suitcases."Yeah. I don't think I'm forgetting anything. What about you?""All set.""I can't wait to see nonna.""Me too. She's so eager to see us.""I know right." I nodded, smiling wistfully.Nonna had become a mother figure in my life since we first met. We had clicked instantly and maybe that was why she thought I would be a great match for her favorite grandson. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked with a perfectly arched brow raised."Oh nothing," I blushed."Daydreaming about me I see." He teased with a smirk."Don't get ahead of yourself." I said with an eye roll."Right," He said, pul

    I had mixed feelings hearing about their break up. On one end, I was happy about it because now I could have Olive to myself but then, on the other hand, it did not seem like she was so thrilled to have me as her only option. I did not know how to feel about the latter realization.We were not on speaking terms. And that was no fault of mine. Olive just chose to be cold to me out of nowhere and no matter how much I tried to get her to speak in the first few days, she did not respond so at some point, I decided to let her be."Daddy?" I looked up from the book I was reading in my office to face Arya who had been seated by my side, playing with her toys. "Yes princess?" "Ice cream." She said with a pout."Mommy's gonna be mad if I give you any ice cream.""Why?""Too much sugar isn't good for you.""Please daddy." She gave me those puppy eyes I could not resist."Let's go ask mommy then." I said, not wanting to get into more trouble with Olive.Simultaneously we knocked on her door,

    My face lit up with a grin when Xander came by the office to pick us up."Hey. How was your day?" I asked, getting on my feet with my bag, ready to head home."It was good.""You look so good." I said almost sighing dreamily at his ripped arms. He was in his sports attire since he took the day off work."Thanks. You look gorgeous as always.""Thank you." I said as he pulled me close and was about to plant a kiss on my lips.The door came open all of a sudden and I jumped back."Malik?"My heart dropped in trepidation. He almost caught Xander and I. That was way too close."Surprised to see me?" Malik asked, eyes darting between Xander and I."Uh I, I um, wasn't expecting you." I was a stuttering mess as he shook hands with Xander."I know. I wanted to surprise you." He said, handing me a bouquet of peonies, ready to place a kiss on my lips. I turned and let it land on my cheeks instead, pretending to pick up my phone from the table.Xander walked out of the office shortly after."Ho

    "Surprise!!!" I jumped, startled at the confetti pop and how it all rained on me as I walked into the living room that morning.My jaw dropped as my eyes beheld the splendid decorations. "Oh my goodness," I placed my palm over my mouth, letting Arya go as she skidded off to meet her father who had a proud smile on his face. I could tell he was proud of himself for being able to pull this off without me noticing a thing."How?!" I exclaimed, marveled at my pictures all over the living room, balloons and ribbons in my favorite color (rose gold) as well as the tons of presents that were piled up next to the gorgeous three tier cake with my name on it in fine gold font. It was so beautiful."Chloe did all the work." Xander said, coming to my side to place a kiss on my temple. "Happy birthday.""Happy birthday!" Everyone else chorused."Thank you all so much," I said and turned to Xander. "Thank you."He gave my arm a little squeeze in acknowledgement of my gratitude."Come on, let's

    "What do you think?" Chloe asked me, showing me the boards she had curated."This is perfect.""It's gonna cost you Mr Giovanni.""Only the best for her,""Period!"I laughed. Chloe was a special breed.~~~Functions. It was that time of the year when charity balls flooded the timeline of aristocrats.With an arm in my pocket and the other holding a champagne glass, I conversed softly with some associates while soft music played in the background. I wished I brought Olive as my date but she was busy setting up the decorations of a function similar to this one that was going to be held the next day. I was bored."Xander,"I paused mid-sentence. That voice sounded all too familiar. Slowly, I turned to face her."Hello Natasha." I said coolly.She grinned, coming close to give me air kisses. "Hi. It's been a while.""Yes it has. How have you been?" I asked out of courtesy.She grinned, "I've been good. What about you?" "I'm great, as you can see.""How's your daughter?"I smiled, "Amazi

    ~ A week later~The supervision process went pretty smoothly even though I had to lay off one or two slacking staffs. Then I had to choose some new vendors to make our events run seamlessly. That was about it and now I was on my way to the airport, once again saying goodbye to my brother and his family who had been so hospitable as usual.We touched down LA at noon. Much to my surprise, Xander was there waiting for us. Arya almost flew out of my arms to meet him."Hi." I said as he took her."How was your flight?" He asked, squeezing on my arm slightly.I was stunned at the gesture. The Xander I knew would give me a hug, a side hug at least. Deciding not to dwell on it, I followed closely as he walked ahead and let the guards carry our luggage.We hardly said anything to each other as the drive to the house went on. Just the basics. This was awkward.~"I got your letter." I said to him the next day when I had gotten tired of the awkwardness and tension between us."Oh." He said, lo
